I always appreciated his [Dr. William Kutteh] expertise in the field of recurrent pregnancy loss and infertility, so I felt like I was in good hands simply because of his vast knowledge... I appreciated his candidness at each stage of our fertility treatments. He was also willing to give us options and let us decide what treatment we wanted to do next. While he did not have the most comforting bedside manner, he was compassionate and understanding of my fears and feelings.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates. (Assigned nurse: Michelle)
My nurse ALWAYS called me back within an hour if I called her. She also always called to inform me of my next steps at every stage of our treatments.
Describe your experience with Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
The clinic will call ahead most of the time to let you know how much you owe at your next appointment. You will set up everything else through your nurse or at your appointment. You will have to wait to see the doctor for a while, but if you’re just there to get bloodwork or an ultrasound, then they will get you in and out quickly.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
The overall cost for an IUI was $497, but that did not include ultrasounds.
The cost for the entire IVF procedure was laid out in very clear terms. With the ultrasounds, procedures, doctor’s fees, and meds, ours cost around $15,000.
Describe William Kutteh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
Dr. Kutteh advised us to use one embryo based on my age (31) and the quality and number of our day 5 blastocysts. We trusted him and didn’t want to have multiples.

I believe Dr. Kutteh is very smart and compassionate about his work and helping patients achieve their goal of getting pregnant. I was disappointed that when my 1st ivf cycle was canceled and changed to an IUI that he didn’t want to meet with myself and my husband to discuss a new plan and protocol. He did call me on the phone and we discussed it but I think that is something that needs to be done in person.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates?
You have to be your own advocate. Do your own research as well.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates?
I believe in looking at numbers and sometimes myself I get caught up in the numbers because I am a nurse and you do spend so much time using numbers to help determine a plan of care but I also believe that doctors and nurses should be an advocate for your patient. I have a low amh and slightly high fsh and I believe they want to push donor eggs on me more than me trying to use my own eggs. I want a doctor who will tell me not to give up on having a baby with my own eggs until we exhausted all options. I am learning through this journey I have to be my own advocate.
Describe the protocols William Kutteh used in your cycles at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates and their degree of success.
My first ivf cycle I did 75 or menopur and 275 of gonol f. I made it to day 6 of stims when my cycle was changed to an IUI. They only found one follicle on my right ovary and the ultrasound tech said she couldn’t find my left ovary. (Which I have, it had never been removed). On day 6 my estrogen dropped and the said my progesterone was over one so they knew I would ovulate that follicle. I took the trigger shot at 5pm that night and the next day we went in for the IUI. When I finally talked to Dr. Kutteh over a week later he said he knew this was a possibility because of my numbers. We all knew going in to this I might not respond well. So this time we will be doing the Schoolcraft protocol with Lupron.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates. (Assigned nurse: Michelle )
My nurse is nice and I have spoken to one other nurse when mine was gone already and she was very nice too.
Describe your experience with Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
Overall their staff is great. I’m not a huge fan of their front desk people but it’s not the end of the world. The people who draw your blood in the back are amazing and don’t seem to hurt at all. Their ultrasound techs are good too.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
I think we paid them close to 10,000 for our first cycle not including meds or what we would have paid for the retrieval or transfer since we didn’t get that far. The money we didnt use we have as a credit for our next cycle.
Describe William Kutteh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
We haven’t made it to an egg retrieval yet but I do believe if the patient wants you to transfer two embryos then they should. The patient should be able to have a say in that decision.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates?
I would advise the prospective patient that they are in good hands with him and to remain positive throughout their treatment.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates?

Describe the protocols William Kutteh used in your cycles at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates and their degree of success.
During treatment I think that I was on protocol 5 whereas I would take 2.5mg of Letrozole of cycle days 3, 5, and 7. In addition I took 75 mg of Follistim on cycle days 5, 7, and 9. Ultrasound was on day 10 and the nurse called me the same day as the ultrasound with instructions on when to take the trigger shot and the appointment time for IUI.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates. (Assigned nurse: Andrea)
The entire support staff was great including the phlebotomist. They were patient and empathetic as well.
Describe your experience with Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
The clinic is warm and I like the idea that there is a small partition in the waiting area for patients which prefer privacy. The clinic is very welcoming in general and the equipment and furniture is not warm. I am not aware of any weaknesses. The facility is in a well maintained building and the clinic is clean. New patients should go online to complete the new patient forms in advance because there are quite a few of them so, completing them during an office visit could be time consuming.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
I do not recall the exact cost of each IUI cycle because I used donor sperm so additional fees were required to store it and count the sperm.
Describe William Kutteh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.

How was your experience with William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates?
I am very satisfied with Dr. Kutteh in that with 4 Iui, I had a baby. I appreciate that he quickly found out that the fertility medicine Clomid which other doctor prescribed me to take caused me ovarian cyst, and he adjusted to other medicine Famara, however it caused irregular bleeding, finally Dr. Kutteh decided me undergo natural iui, which gave me a lovely baby.

Describe your experience with Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
The weakness of this clinic is that it does not do iui treatment during weekend in 2015-2016, I did miss one chance on Sunday, if you are on medicated cycle, you really wouldn't be very happy about that. ( I don't know if they extent fertility treatment during weekend now, hope so ). I also hope that the coordinate system and nurses would be more organized.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Kutteh at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates.
Around 500$ for one cycle of monitored iui, plus washing sperm procedure, which is quite reasonable compared to other clinics which could easily charge you over 1000$
