Success w/ Doc Too early to know
Dr. Butler is very blunt and always seems rushed. I felt like my questions were more dismissed than answered in some cases. He seems educated on treatment techniques and surgical techniques. Geographically they aren’t many fertility options and he doesn’t offer IVF, but the clinic will monitor patients doing IVF out of Atlanta so that is nice.... The doctor wasn’t super personable and was really all about business, but the nurse seemed like she really cared about me personally.
The staff in the clinic [Central Georgia Fertility] are friendly and welcoming. The biggest negative is the clinic is small so if the physician or nurse are out then patients can’t be seen at all. The financial coordinator is really helpful and calls patients whenever there are any insurance concerns and is always happy to answer questions and assist....The nurse is awesome! She is generally quick to answer questions via call, text, or email. She advocates on behalf of the patient to the doctor. She is compassionate and shows she really cares about the patient. She also goes above and beyond for necessary insurance approvals etc.

Describe the protocols William Butler used in your cycles at Central Georgia Fertility Navicent and their degree of success.
I was diagnosed with PCOS initially. I did several cycles of femara that were successful in ovulation but not pregnancy. I then had an exploratory surgery where I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. I had the endometriosis removed during the surgery. I then moved on to gonal f injections with a trigger shot and IUI. I have done 3 unsuccessful cycles so far.

Describe the costs associated with your care under William Butler at Central Georgia Fertility Navicent.
The costs are similar to every fertility doctor. The nice thing is they always communicate the potential costs up front. The office even let me know my husbands insurance would cover some of the fertility treatments and encouraged me to get on his insurance.
