As a patient Dr Deutsch treated me with great respect, patience and kindness. He actually listened to me and partnered with me in my care! He had a great sense of humor which was appreciated. Dr Deutsch really cares about his patients! At every appointment he made me feel like he was there just for me. He ordered all of the scans and bloodwork I needed but not dozens like other clinics have. He was always on time...
[nurses at Advanced Reproductive Center are] Pleasant, polite, efficient and patient with my questions! They made the experience pleasant...Arlington Heights is not the main office, Rockford is but I never went there because this location was closer for me. The office is smaller and less busy. The parking is not an issue. There are stairs or an elevator but the elevator is slow so be patient. The building is older but the office is always clean. The equipment all seemed ip to date and newer...

As a patient Dr Deutsch treated me with great respect, patience and kindness. He actually listened to me and partnered with me in my care! He had a great sense of humor which was appreciated. Dr Deutsch really cares about his patients! At every appointment he made me feel like he was there just for me.

I truly highly recommend Dr Deutsch if you like to feel like a person and not just a number.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Todd Deutch (retired) at Advanced Reproductive Center (closed)?
This is hard but I would say trust that Dr Deutsch has your best interests at heart (because he does!) and trust his expertise/advice because he really knows what he’s doing.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Todd Deutch (retired) at Advanced Reproductive Center (closed)?
Dr Deutsch was the FIRST and ONLY doctor who actually LISTENED to me! I know my body, I know how I respond and how I feel. I educated myself on infertility. Dr Deutsch treated me with the utmost respect. I was not a client or patient. He is completely present with you and even remembers small details of previous conversations, showing you he cares and is paying attention. It was obvious to me at the first appointment that Dr Deutsch treats each patient as an individual. He really cares about you and all of his patients. He listened to me, my suggestions, my questions. I felt he partnered with me in my care, something I never experienced before, even with other doctors! My beautiful son is the result! I am forever grateful! In addition, Dr Deutsch is very down to earth and personable with a great sense of humor! I have been to other doctors but Dr Deutsch is by far the best in every aspect! He is an expert in his field. I was never ever rushed, pressured or waiting in his office for him. He explained everything very well and I felt confident in his recommendations. He tailored a treatment plan just for me, taking into consideration my MTHFR. I was shocked to only have a few ultrasound scans while another clinic I went to insisted on one a DAY, sometimes Even two on occasion! I had the blood draws I needed but not daily or every other day. These things made it not only more affordable but a pleasant experience in comparison. I cannot recommend Dr Deutsch enough! Dr Deutsch’s staff is wonderful too! Always pleasant and efficient. I hope if you are trying for a baby of your own that you are successful soon. I don’t know you but I send you my best wishes whatever you decide or do. You can do it and you will do it too!
Describe the protocols Todd Deutch (retired) used in your cycles at Advanced Reproductive Center (closed) and their degree of success.
Because I had done 8 fresh cycles myself over the years and because of “advanced age”and recurrent miscarriage, we chose to proceed with an egg donor and my husband’s sperm. I don’t know the protocol used with the donor. He agreed to freeze the embryos and teturn 1 at a time at a later date. Meanwhile he agreed on a strategy to prevent miscarriage and improve implantation. This included massages, accupuncture, and treatment for my MTHFR I did not take Birth Control pills to regulate my cycle (they drive down B9/Folate) so he carefully monitored and worked with my body’s own cycle. I took certain doses of B9/Folate (not Folic Acid!) as well as B12 and B6. I also took the other Bs, fish oil, Ubiquinol (methylated CoQ10), a very high quality prenatal, an easily absorbable Iron Supplement (I have very low Iron without it), 20,000-25,000 IU vitamin D per day, probiotics (as many high quality strains as I could) and timed release vitamin c. Some of these were my idea from my previous successful pregnancy with his ok. I felt so good even my lifelong tinnitus went away! Our goal was to reduce inflammation, avoid miscarriage and support implantation in any way we could to achieve a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Advanced Reproductive Center (closed). (Assigned nurse: Can’t remember I’m sorry! )

Describe your experience with Advanced Reproductive Center (closed).
Arlington Heights is not the main office, Rockford is but I never went there because this location was closer for me. The office is smaller and less busy. The parking is not an issue. There are stairs or an elevator but the elevator is slow so be patient. The building is older but the office is always clean. The equipment all seemed ip to date and newer.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Advanced Reproductive Center (closed).
I love that I only had 2 “monitoring appts” after I achieved pregnancy! I didn’t need more and they were actually done on my follow up appts. One to confirm pregnancy, the other to confirm everything for discharge! The other clinics I went to had me come in every day and sometimes twice a day! I don’t think it’s needed and I don’t think it’s good for the baby. What a relief!
Describe the costs associated with your care under Todd Deutch (retired) at Advanced Reproductive Center (closed).
I’m sorry but I don’t remember.
Describe Todd Deutch (retired)'s approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Advanced Reproductive Center (closed).
I liked doing a single embryo transfer because it was safer for me and the baby. I was glad he agreed!
