Dr. Gentry is very warm and kind, which is his biggest strength. His biggest weakness, however, is he leaves all communication with his patients up to his nurses or administrative staff. My husband and I never once talked with him over the phone or by email; we had to play phone tag several times, and it took his office manager days to respond to us.

How was your experience with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Dr. Gentry is very warm and kind, which is his biggest strength. His biggest weakness, however, is he leaves all communication with his patients up to his nurses or administrative staff. My husband and I never once talked with him over the phone or by email; we had to play phone tag several times, and it took his office manager days to respond to us.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Trust your gut instinct. If you have a positive experience with all of staff/medical team, and that's where you want to go, then trust your instinct. My husband and I stayed with him through two IVF cycles and one unsuccessful embryo transfer, and will be switching doctor's, probably to Dr. Michael Henry this coming Friday.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Dr. Gentry was amazing, and always soft and encouraging. It was his administrative staff, Sherrie, and his ultrasound technician, Samantha, who made the second cycle of IVF unpleasant. They were very bitter, cold, and non-personable.
Describe the protocols William Gentry used in your cycles at Advanced Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Our first IVF cycle, I was on birth control pills for 16 days prior to injections, which included four days of Menopur (75) and Follistim (300). We started the Ganirelix injection, along with Menopur (75) and Follistim (225), on the fifth day. We triggered with Pregnyl on the ninth day, and egg retrieval was on the 11th day.
Our second IVF cycle was similar, although I was on birth control pills for 21 days prior to injections, which included four days of Menopur (a double dose: 150) and Follistim (300). We started the Ganirelix injection, along with Menopur (150) and Follistim (225), on the fifth day. We triggered with Pregnyl on the ninth day, and egg retrieval was on the 11th day.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Our nursing staff for our first cycle of IVF was wonderful: Maria was our main nurse, and she has since left the clinic, which was a disappointment during our second cycle. We worked with Kate, and she was newer, so we didn't quite build a connection with her like we did with Maria.
I want to give HUGE props to our embryologist, Dr. Jaime Hogerty, at CRBI. She has been nothing but supportive throughout our entire Baby journey. We will still be working with her when we switch doctors to Dr. Henry.
Samantha, the ultrasound technician, was great during our first cycle of IVF, but very bitter and cold during our second cycle of IVF.
Sherrie, the office manager, has always been more concerned about money than about being compassionate. She takes days to return phone calls.
Describe your experience with Advanced Fertility Group.
Advanced Fertility Group's strengths would be Dr. Gentry alone. The clinic's weaknesses would be everything else that has previously been mentioned: Samantha's and Sherrie's bad attitudes, and the turnover of nurses between first and second cycles of IVF.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group.
First cycle of IVF totaled just over $32,000. Second cycle of IVF cost just over $22,000.
Describe William Gentry's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Advanced Fertility Group.
For our embryo transfer in May 2018, my husband and I, along with Dr. Gentry, our embryologist, and our surrogate, decided to transfer one embryo. Dr. Gentry was willing to transfer two if we wanted.

How was your experience with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
He took over an hour with my husband and myself for our initial consultation which was way more than I expected. He listened to my concerns and let me be a part of the decision making and gave us multiple pathways of how treatments could go (plan a, plan b, plan c).
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Be upfront with what you want and do not be afraid to ask about alternative treatment plans.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Every time I meet with the staff at the office, I am treated amazingly. They ask about my life in general, not just my infertility. Each time the nurse calls me with test results, she takes her time to answer any additional questions I have.
Describe the protocols William Gentry used in your cycles at Advanced Fertility Group and their degree of success.
I used IUI with injectables for my treatment with Dr. Gentry. He doubled the dose of injectables that I had been using for my past treatments and also got more indepth lab work done than my previous MD. We ended up pushing my IUI back by 2 days since I only had 1 mature follicle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Advanced Fertility Group. (Assigned nurse: Kate)
Kate is incredible and makes me feel so at ease with the treatment plan. She performed my IUI and even though I was terrified, I was comfortable with her performing it. She takes her time with me each visit, especially since I am terrified of needles, and allows me to lay down with each blood draw (her suggestion).
Describe your experience with Advanced Fertility Group.
Quiet office with smiling, friendly staff. They always make sure I understand the billing and have been great with billing my insurance. They make sure to get me in when I need to be seen, even if it is at a different location.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group.
IUI was $320 because I paid with a check. Other costs were billed to my insurance, but my insurance does not pay for the IUI procedure.

Dr Gentry is very caring and conversational....he's great about going as far as you want to go, but I feel that sometimes he could have been a little more negative..Tested for blockage first, then surgery for endometriosis. Followed by natural cycles with pills When two of those failed, we tried natural with injections and ultrasound monitoring. When those failed we went to IUI, and tried that twice. Then two rounds of IVF, at which point he told me that I should consider donor eggs.

How was your experience with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
He's great about going as far as you want to go, but I feel that sometimes he could have been a little more negative. As in, don't just tell me that of course this will work, tell me that it might not!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Research beforehand, and know your chances. If your egg reserve is low, go right to IVF instead of IUI's. If you've had previous miscarriages, ask for an APS blood test before your IVF.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Dr Gentry is very caring and conversational.
Describe the protocols William Gentry used in your cycles at Advanced Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Tested for blockage first, then surgery for endometriosis. Followed by natural cycles with pills When two of those failed, we tried natural with injections and ultrasound monitoring. When those failed we went to IUI, and tried that twice. Then two rounds of IVF, at which point he told me that I should consider donor eggs. He advised that we could keep trying with my eggs, but that we would spend a lot of money for unlikely results. The clinic worked with me and let me use a friend as a donor. First IVF with donor resulted in brief pregnancy, then failed. APS bloodwork done, another IVF this time with heparin therapy and success! Healthy baby girl born!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I loved one of them, the other was so-so. Not terrible, just not as compassionate. But the entire clinic was so happy for me when I had my positive result. Billing department is also great and straightforward.
Describe your experience with Advanced Fertility Group.
I would say the only weakness is the ultrasound times. They book everyone for the same time in the morning and then it becomes first come first served. It's not terrible, but on busy days it can get frustrating when people line jump.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Advanced Fertility Group.
Bit of a cattle call.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group.
iui with meds was around 3,000 per cycle. ultrasounds were around 200. ivf ran around 12-16,000

It was always a yeah next time it's gonna happen and I never felt like I was heard as far as he goes.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
To stay there and get the answers to your questions. Make sure that he fully understands that everything needs to be explained fully and accurately and that means even the bad.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
When first being with Dr. Gentry I really felt like a human and that I was cared about. During my second and third cycles I didn't feel cared about. I felt like I was just told that yeah you look good and that it's all good and then it resulted in no pregnancies. I felt like when talking with Dr. Gentry he could never really tell me why I wasn't getting pregnant. I even had surgery to help but again nothing happens.
Describe the protocols William Gentry used in your cycles at Advanced Fertility Group and their degree of success.
I was on Menapur and Gonal F along with blood thinners and oil injections. I took birth control for the first several days and then I switched to my injections which I did for 7 nights. I took Ganarelix to help stop ovulation.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff was amazing. They explained stuff better than Dr. Gentry. Tara was the best. She was always there to make sure you felt like you were a human and she knew how to console you.
Describe your experience with Advanced Fertility Group.
All of the staff besides Dr. Gentry were great. They all knew you by name and always asked how you were. Clinic was very clean and you knew exactly where to go and how everything was going to go as far as scans and what not
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Advanced Fertility Group.
About 90 percent of the time it was very smoothly ran and it was about a 5 min wait until you got in because of people in front of you. Most of the time they did a general time for everyone to be there but if you were getting more specific scans done then you were given a specific time to be there.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group.
I had insurance that helped pay for my infertility treatments there so it wasn't bad. I think out of pocket with medicine and treatment costs for our first round it was around 7000 and our other rounds were around 8000 to 9000.
Describe William Gentry's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Advanced Fertility Group.
Dr. Gentry was good about whatever we wanted to do on transfers. We wanted to do 2 each time and he was happy with that. He didn't want to do anymore than 2.

Dr. Gentry is friendly and has a good sense of humor, but we didn't see him very often other than initial consultations (we tried 6 rounds of IUI with my wife and 3 rounds of IUI with me, all unsuccessful). He told us my wife would probably get pregnant within 3 tries but we never got an explanation or even a guess as to why we weren't successful after 3 tries.

Dr. Gentry is friendly and has a good sense of humor, but we didn't see him very often other than initial consultations (we tried 6 rounds of IUI with my wife and 3 rounds of IUI with me, all unsuccessful). He told us my wife would probably get pregnant within 3 tries but we never got an explanation or even a guess as to why we weren't successful after 3 tries. I felt like we had to do a lot of our own research. He also never brought up anything about lifestyle (smoking, eating, exercise, etc.). I don't necessarily want a doctor to harp on those things but I also feel like they should be brought up when trying to conceive.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Know that you'll be relying a lot on the nursing staff to answer questions. If you have an idea for something that might help your chances of getting pregnant, share it (for example, I asked if we could do 2 IUIs in 1 cycle and they let us do that).
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
After a few tries, I started feeling like they didn't really care if we got pregnant. Dr. Gentry said we would probably get my wife pregnant within 3 IUI cycles and we had 6 unsuccessful cycles with her, without any explanation about why it wasn't working. We also had 3 unsuccessful IUI cycles with me. We spent over $15,000 overall and have nothing to show for it.
Describe the protocols William Gentry used in your cycles at Advanced Fertility Group and their degree of success.
For both my wife and I, we started with just clomid to help grow follicles and an HCG shot to promote ovulation, followed 1.5 days later by the IUI. With each subsequent IUI, we increased the clomid dosage and eventually added Gonal-F injections along with the clomid. After each IUI, we took progesterone to help with implantation and possibly prevent miscarriage. All 9 of our IUIs resulted in a negative pregnancy test.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff is for the most part very caring and friendly. They took time to answer my many questions and they were empathetic when things weren't working.
Describe your experience with Advanced Fertility Group.
The clinic is in Carmel. For ultrasounds and IUIs, they have you come in around 7:30 am and it's first-come, first-serve. There were some mornings where we waited 2 hours to get an ultrasound or IUI. I would have greatly preferred they schedule specific times for those appointments.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group.
Between 6 IUI's for my wife and 3 for me, we've spent around $15,000 (possibly more). The cost of each cycle depended on the amount of medication we needed. They do give a discount on procedures if you pay with cash or check.

How was your experience with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Again, his primary concern was always about money. They added charges for all kinds of things. When it came to scheduling, it was pretty much his timing, not so concerned about our timing. Not a great bedside manner.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Talk to others. Afterwards, I spoke with only 2 people who got pregnant and delivered babies with him (one of those happened about 15 years earlier and the other one was recent). Most of the people I have spoken to since said they went, did several procedures and never got a baby.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
Very little contact with the doctor, mainly dealt with staff. When we did meet, the primary conversation was regarding money - how much for this and that. The first transfer he told us to proceed with, I later found out in my medical records was an embryo that the embryologist advised against transferring. After that, I had twins that I was told were "perfect" which I ultimately lost. Their schedule was more important than my then husband's and mine and, again, money was their primary focus.
Describe the protocols William Gentry used in your cycles at Advanced Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Menopur, Bravelle, Follistim - to produce multiple follicles
Describe your experience with your nurse at Advanced Fertility Group. (Assigned nurse: Bea)
Bea was nice and helpful. She also had a good bedside manner.
Describe your experience with Advanced Fertility Group.
The clinic was not as organized as they could be. Scheduling was very difficult. Phone calls could have been made in a more timely manner. My first transfer really should not have happened per the recommendations of the embryologist, but the doctor said to do the transfer, so we did. I think it was just to make more money.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group.
I don't remember specifically the amount, but Dr. Gentry's fee was over $4,000, his clinic fee was over $4,000 and the medications he put me on the first time were about $4,000. The second time, he put me on less expensive medications (about $2,000) and I actually responded much better! Again, he was always concerned about money whenever we spoke to him so I think his going with the more expensive meds first just goes along with that. He should have started with the less expensive (which worked much better for me) first before going for the most expensive meds.

Dr. Gentry has had several years experience with infertility. When we first went to him we thought I was going to be the problem. However our lives have changed so much now that it’s my husband is the problem. My husband had a Stem cell transplant that has left him sterile. We were lucky enough to have frozen semen but our only option is IVF.... Our first treatment option was IUI due to low motility. However, my husband was diagnosed with cancer again and had to have a stem cell transplant which has left him sterile.

We were lucky enough to have frozen semen but our only option is IVF.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
It can be difficult to get to see him since he has 3 office locations.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group?
He treats each case as an individual person.
Describe the protocols William Gentry used in your cycles at Advanced Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Our first treatment option was IUI due to low motility. However, my husband was diagnosed with cancer again and had to have a stem cell transplant which has left him sterile. We were able to save semen and when we contacted Dr. Gentry again he was willing to see us and reevaluate. I went through testing to make sure I was okay. Dr. Gentry even tried clomid and HCG for three months to see if my husband was still producing sperm. He found out that he is in fact sterile and our only option is IVF with our frozen semen.
Describe your experience with Advanced Fertility Group.
They can be slow to respond because they have Dr. Gentry review the cases at the specific office. They do always get back to you though. Dr. Gentry has years of experience and has a good sense of humor too.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Gentry at Advanced Fertility Group.
For IVF the cost is between $12,000-$15,000
IUI is under $700
Semen analysis is $150
Semen storage is $400/year
Describe William Gentry's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Advanced Fertility Group.

I saw Dr Gentry every time I had an appointment. He was always very positive and willing to let me try with my own eggs.... He has a great bedside manner. He was alway very positive and listened to what I wanted as a patient. I wish he would have given me my odds for IVF sooner and I wish I would have started that process sooner. He has a lot of compassion.... I had 3 IUIs one with a known sperm donor with femara and HCG trigger. Another one with a sperm donor, clomid and HCG trigger and the last with a sperm donor, clomid and HCG trigger.

Dr Gentry was very nice but we hardly saw him or spoke to him. He referred to me as his problem child... He wasn't there for any treatments I received. I only saw nurses or staff. He never did any of the call backs to talk with us about the treatments not working. He never addressed our concerns with our treatments. It would have been nice to have more day about treatments options...I feel as if they just keep doing the same treatments even after I expressed my thoughts and concerns.

Lupron and laproscopic surgery were used [by Dr. William Gentry] to unblock tubes, preserve fertility and reduce pain...He was way too concerned about long term fertility than acute issues. He wasnt as up front about potential side effects of my treatment on my daily life. He didnt seem as concerned as he should be about detrimental side effects the treatment was causeing me...I had a very poor reaction to treatment. I felt as though I was clear on my concerns and where I was personally in my life. Then no follow up happened.
