Attention to Detail

Attention to detail is on a 1 - 10 scale, and is scored based on the rate, and severity, of errors committed by the clinic according to the patients.

For example, a severe error might be failing to inform a patient of critical information, while a small error might be failing to call a patient with results.

CDC Success Rates

This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.

For more information please see our FAQs.

Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.

At first, my husband and I appreciated his [Dr. Wittmaack] matter of fact attitude. However, when our first cycle went poorly, we were immediately dismissed as a lost cause. In addition, I was given this information over the phone, in a non-compassionate manner. The recommendation was to stop TTC immediately and pursue other options. Thankfully, we sought a second opinion, and I am now 5 months pregnant with a child made from my own eggs, and my husbands sperm.
they [Aurora Fertility Svcs] allow for a monthly payment plan over the course of 1 year. They also offer a 3-cycle guaranteed plan, which can be paid off over two years, and comes with a partial refund if you do not end up with a child. ... Lab will allow embryo growth to day five or six. Will not freeze or transfer after day 6. Patients are batched, as there is only one doctor.
How was your experience with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
At first, my husband and I appreciated his matter of fact attitude. However, when our first cycle went poorly, we were immediately dismissed as a lost cause. In addition, I was given this information over the phone, in a non-compassionate manner. The recommendation was to stop TTC immediately and pursue other options. Thankfully, we sought a second opinion, and I am now 5 months pregnant with a child made from my own eggs, and my husbands sperm. Dr. Wittmaack made us feel as if that was an outcome that could never be achieved.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Be sure to ask questions, and ask the alternatives ahead of time. I.e. - “If this doesn’t work, or we don’t get a good result, what is the next step?” Also, don’t be afraid to seek a second opinion.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
I felt like I was treated like a number, because as soon as we had a failed cycle, we were a lost cause and he told us to stop trying. The method of delivering the result of the first cycle was poor, and cold.
Describe the protocols Frank Wittmaack used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
Pretty standard Lupron/follistim/menopure protocol with an HcG trigger. Lab will allow embryo growth to day five or six. Will not freeze or transfer after day 6. Patients are batched, as there is only one doctor.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
We were very pleased with the nursing staff. They were always kind, helpful and organized with us.
Describe your experience with Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Strength is that it’s the only IVF clinic in north east Wisconsin, and they allow for a monthly payment plan over the course of 1 year. They also offer a 3-cycle guaranteed plan, which can be paid off over two years, and comes with a partial refund if you do not end up with a child. However, the 3 cycle plan is limited to one year from the start of the first cycle, and retrieval’s only happen if you have no embryos. Weakness, aside from our poor experience with the doctor, the scheduling is not as flexible because there is only one doctor.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Flat fee that covered everything up until the pregnancy test. For a slight upcharge (~$1,500) you could add PGS testing.
Describe Frank Wittmaack's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
We did not get any embryos with Dr Wittmaack, so I’m unsure of their policy.
What specific things went wrong at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
  • Failed to send your chart to another clinic
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
The only snafu was when my husband tried to have his record sent over to our second clinic. It required him to call several times to remind the clinic, right up until the date of our second opinion at the new clinic. This caused a delay in the new doctor being able to proved a recommendation.

Dr. Green is remarkable. She truly cares for her patients...antagonist protocol. We have make factor infertility...started on low doses of meds and they were titrated up as the cycle went on to help produce the great results...14 eggs, 13 mature and 13 fertilized.

The best I can describe him [Dr. Frank Wittmaack] was “busy”. It didn’t seem like he had time for us and just wanted everything done as quickly as possible so he could move on. I think he’s probably a nice person, but we felt like a number or a project on an assembly line. It was frustrating and at times, embarrassing. I would do anything to start our family and have children...Almost nothing was explained to us. We relied on Google and experiences friends had gone through in order to know what was happening.
I think they [Aurora BayCare Medical Center] are fully capable of getting you the results you want. Just don’t expect much communication or explanations. You will probably have to do your own research and make the best guess that you can. We are hopeful that even though this was the case, we are still able to have a positive outcome...The clinic was established overbooked. As you know, scheduling for IUI is very time-specific. We missed our window for the HSG test and as a result I was put on birth control until an appointment could be made. I have never taken birth control in my life and I didn’t want to- but I had no choice due to scheduling.

I think he’s probably a nice person, but we felt like a number or a project on an assembly line. It was frustrating and at times, embarrassing. I would do anything to start our family and have children, but this clinic pushed me to the limits of my mental and emotional well being. It has been extremely difficult and disheartening.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Have a list of questions prepared and don’t leave until they are answered.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Almost nothing was explained to us. We relied on Google and experiences friends had gone through in order to know what was happening. My HSG was incredibly painful and I was not told beforehand that this could be a possibility. Also, I had several ultrasounds. I was not told prior that these would be transvaginal. There was a nurse present each time who basically just stood there and stared at me while I was naked from the waist down. This also happened during my IUI. She leaned forward to stare into the procedure and when I mentioned this made me uncomfortable, I was ignored. I felt like it was a sideshow entertainment, and everyone was free to come watch.
Describe the protocols Frank Wittmaack used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
I was put on letrozole, several ultrasounds were performed, and I was instructed to give myself an HCG trigger shot. I was not told why. We are still undergoing treatment so we don’t know the results yet.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Honestly the mail one I remember was at my last appointment. She didn’t seem at all interested in helping me, but was keen to watch the procedure of the IUI and ignored me when I asked her to back up and not stare at my spread open vagina. (If it made you uncomfortable to read that, imagine how I felt experiencing it.)

I thought Dr Green was a good doctor. I followed their standard treatment plan and got results. She was not super warm but was very nice. She always have enough time for questions which I really appreciated. We had some requests for treatment due to our religious beliefs and while she did not agree with them, she was respectful of how we wanted our care to go...Did a fresh transfer that led to birth of my child.

I would also say that they could do better at realistically communicating timelines. Treatment and scheduling always took longer than I was told which sometimes left me disappointed.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Katherine Green at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Because this clinic gives all people the same basic treatment plan it made me feel like I was not necessarily getting individualized care all the time
Describe the protocols Katherine Green used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Standard treatment for this is to move to IUI. We did 3 cycles of IUI with letrozole and testing with opks for ovulation. When these did not work, it was suggested that IVF be next. We did mini IVF due to personal convictions. I was on birth control a month then stimulated with menopur, gonal F and ganirelix. Did a fresh transfer that led to birth of my child.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
I thought the nurses were great. Always prompt to answer messages
Describe your experience with Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
This clinic is knowledgeable, clean, organized, and professional. When I received care there the doctors did all ultrasounds which I thought was incredible to have that connection with them. I do believe that has changed recently though. Negatives would be delay in scheduling due to how busy they are and they don’t do a lot of outside the box treatment. I would also say that they could do better at realistically communicating timelines. Treatment and scheduling always took longer than I was told which sometimes left me disappointed. They would do better to over estimate time-frames
Describe the costs associated with your care under Katherine Green at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
IUIs were overpriced relative to other clinics. IVF and mini IVF seemed comparable.
Describe Katherine Green's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
I have no issue with their eSET practices. Because they only transfer day 5 embryos(that I know of, at least) this policy makes sense. I am not interested in twins so it was fine by me

We did 2 rounds of IUI and 1 round of IVF so far [with Dr. Frank Wittmaack]...Next cycle we will reduce the units of stims because I was on the cusp of hyperstimulation (I have PCOS)...really takes the time to listen, explain, and is generous with his time...His style is very calm and reassuring - he has a great bedside manner, but as someone who also likes a lot of facts and detail, I sometimes have to push for more information. He always readily answers questions, but he doesn't always offer it straightaway. That said, I would rather have that than a Doctor who has a cold bedside manner.

How was your experience with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
I initially chose this clinic because it was closest to my home, but I was really happy to see his success rates of live births for my age group (3rd in the country, according to latest CDC report) and the care and compassion he brings to his practice. His style is very calm and reassuring - he has a great bedside manner, but as someone who also likes a lot of facts and detail, I sometimes have to push for more information.

[Dr. Wittmaack] was very personable with us. At our initial consultation, I was extremely impressed that he had copies of all of our lab work (for both my husband and I) and had made notes before our appointment...We left our consultation appointments feeling extremely confident in him as a doctor, and his plan for our treatments. He explained our options, was clear and to the point, but also asked our opinions and what we wanted...we haven't started any actual treatments with Dr. Wittmaack yet due to the COVID-19 situation. However, we have had consultations and testing with him...I would say he tends to be straight-forward and to the point in his discussions.
So far the clinic [Aurora Fertility Services] has been very organized and great to work with. It's nice that the clinic is private and quiet...Sia is our main nurse, she had lots of information and was very organized at our consultation. I had a different nurse for my testing and she was excellent...They did give us information regarding transferring one embryo and it's benefits...In regards to IVF, they have different options depending on if you want to do PGS and they offer a shared success program. The great part is this clinic does financing.
How was your experience with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
To start, we haven't started any actual treatments with Dr. Wittmaack yet due to the COVID-19 situation. However, we have had consultations and testing with him. We've previously worked with 2 other doctors in relation to fertility treatments, and I've told my husband, whenever I have an appointment, I always leave feeling more confident. We left our consultation appointments feeling extremely confident in him as a doctor, and his plan for our treatments. He explained our options, was clear and to the point, but also asked our opinions and what we wanted. We have had a really good experience with him so far.

Dr. Wittmaack was very personable with us. At our initial consultation, I was extremely impressed that he had copies of all of our lab work (for both my husband and I) and had made notes before our appointment. It was very clear when he walked into our first appointment that he had taken the time to review our medical histories and made comments/had questions to ask us ahead of time. I've never had an appointment where I felt the doctor actually took the time to review my history before walking into the room. I was very impressed.
Describe the protocols Frank Wittmaack used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
We have yet to start treatments, but we went through some additional testing with Dr. Wittmaack. We have not received our specific IVF plan yet, we will find out once they resume treatments.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Aurora BayCare Medical Center. (Assigned nurse: Sia)
I've only had a couple visits so far, but I am very happy with the nursing staff. Sia is our main nurse, she had lots of information and was very organized at our consultation. I had a different nurse for my testing and she was excellent. She walked me through the entire process, was super friendly, and really kept me calm and comfortable during the procedures.
Describe your experience with Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
So far the clinic has been very organized and great to work with. It's nice that the clinic is private and quiet. I've had a great experience with the clinic so far and they have given a lot of great information to prepare for IVF.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
My inital consult and testing was covered by my insurance. I did pay out of pocket for genetic carrier screening, but it was $100 if I remember correctly. In regards to IVF, they have different options depending on if you want to do PGS and they offer a shared success program. The great part is this clinic does financing.

[Dr. Frank Wittmaack] had me take DHEA and CoQ10 for the 3 months leading up to IVF. When we started, I had the most antral follicles yet - 8!

I was much happier once I started asking for the info I wanted to know at the start of each appointment (especially at monitoring). Overall, Dr. W was very knowledgeable about my diagn
This nursing staff [at Aurora Fertility Services] rocks! They are all so friendly and easy to talk to.

How was your experience with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Dr. Wittmaack truly has your best interest at heart! He will give it to you straight, but he is also warm and friendly. If you are someone who has a lot of “why” questions or wants a lot of detail about treatment and cycle progression, ASK QUESTIONS. Dr. W may assume you don’t want all those details otherwise. I was much happier once I started asking for the info I wanted to know at the start of each appointment (especially at monitoring). Overall, Dr. W was very knowledgeable about my diagnosis and prescribed the right protocol for me. Putting my full trust in him during our IVF cycle was the best decision I’ve ever made!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Again, ask questions. Advocate for yourself, but also try to relinquish some control and trust the doctor. He is great at making adjustments as needed and I would highly recommend him for anyone considering IVF.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Dr. Wittmaack, Dr. Strawn, the nurses, and all the other staff were so kind and friendly. They recognized us at every visit and knew where we were at in our treatment. They were excited with us at all the biggest steps - celebrating with us at retrieval, transfer, and when we finally got our BFP!
Describe the protocols Frank Wittmaack used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
Because I have Diminished Ovarian Reserve, Dr. W put me on a mini-Lupron flare protocol. The dosages of Menopur and follistim were pretty high - so if you find yourself in the same boat, brace yourself for an expensive prescription cost! We shopped around and applied for a couple discount programs that greatly reduced our cost. Dr. W also had me take DHEA and CoQ10 for the 3 months leading up to IVF. When we started, I had the most antral follicles yet - 8! They all grew with the protocol prescribed and we got 5 mature eggs. I had hoped for more, but somehow we ended up 3 beautiful embryos. One resulted in our current pregnancy, while the other two are on ice!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
This nursing staff rocks! They are all so friendly and easy to talk to. Also great at drawing blood - which is a huge plus for how many times you get poked!
Describe your experience with Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Strengths are that you can typically get started pretty fast. We had our first IUI less than two months after our initial testing. This was due in part to having completed a few tests outside the clinic through my OB beforehand. The staff are also very friendly and do a good job of helping you feel supported. The nurses are always available to answer questions when you have them, including on the weekends. Weaknesses are that communication from the doctor can be a little light at times. Appointments go pretty quick, but if you ask questions it never felt like the doctor or nurses were annoyed or too busy. Overall an excellent experience.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Monitoring appointments were sometimes conducted by Dr. Strawn. He was typically the one I would see the second week of any month if that’s when monitoring fell. I believe this is because Dr. W splits time in Oshkosh. Dr. Strawn definitely seemed to take his time more during monitoring, while Dr. W was pretty quick about it.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
I’d say we spent around $30-35k when all was said and done. However, the clinic offers an IVF payment plan so we are still paying a lot of it off without interest. The monthly payments are high, but o my last a year or two depending on the plan you select. They also offer Sharec Success plans that will reimburse you if you don’t get pregnant. I didn’t qualify for those since I have DOR, but was still able to do a multi-cycle plan at a greatly reduced price. We ended up not needing more than one retrieval/transfer, but it was worth paying more for the extra reassurance of knowing we’d have more chances if the first protocol didn’t work. Prescriptions were sent to Mandell’s. I ended up applying for various discount programs and taking out a loan to cover my medications through Future Family. Our initial med cost of $8,000 went down to $5,500 by taking these extra steps! Do yourself a favor and shop around. You could save a LOT of money.

[Dr. Frank Wittmaack] He took the extra time to explain the process and ensure we fully understood before moving forward...He quickly adjusted our medication regime for our second round and ended up with a successful pregnancy...I tried Clomid for IUI and Letrozole...the clomid made me very emotional so we stopped...he strongly encouraged the transfer of only one embryo...added endometrin twice daily -continued this protocol until 11weeks of pregnancy
With all honesty, I cannot think of a single weakness of the staff[of Aurora Fertility Services]... The financial rep explained things very well...They helped with setting up payment plans if needed and seems pretty flexible for payments...All staff were incredible to work with from the receptionist to the embryologist...egg retrieval with one genetically normal embryo on day 6...
How was your experience with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
We would highly recommend Dr Wittmaack. He was so honest, caring and incredibly intelligent! He took the extra time to explain the process and ensure we fully understood before moving forward! He was very compassionate when we did not get the results we wanted with IUI and when we had no genetically normal embryos with our first egg retrieval. He quickly adjusted our medication regime for our second round and ended up with a successful pregnancy!

All staff were incredible to work with from the receptionist to the embryologist, to the nurses and the financial rep. The embryologist were so sweet and incredibly knowledgeable.

Yes he strongly encouraged the transfer of only one embryo. In the end we only had 1 to transfer so we really didn’t have a decision to make!

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
We have done 4 total cycles of [IUI] treatment [with Dr. Shanti]...she knew my name, knew what we had been through and when we discovered the polyps in the SHG and I was in tears, she embraced me and made me feel like she really cared about my future and our goals for a family...is very to the point. This is noted on all of her reviews. She does not sugar coat things but at the same time does have compassion. The moment I felt like I belonged in this clinic was when she hugged me during a tearful visit and told me we were going to move forward and not look backwards. It really went a long way with me personally and my journey.
Be aware that the nurses do most of the work here [at Aurora Fertility Services] - at least for me. I have only seen Dr. Shanti 3 total times besides consultations over 6 months - once for the SHG, once for the surgery to remove the polyps and then once for an IUI (nurses did the other 2 IUIs)...I am very pleased with the nursing staff here. They are friendly, compassionate, and capable. They always follow-up in a timely manor and know who I am. There was a rough IUI procedure with a couple of the nurses but I talked this through with the clinic and will only see the doctor for any additional moving forward. They were very understanding - it was rather obvious things were not going well during the appointment.

It really went a long way with me personally and my journey.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Aida Shanti at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Just remember that her goal is a baby which doing IVF right away is the fastest way to a baby. We did not take that advice and are now in our 3rd IUI...which a part of me wishes we would have done IVF right away just because of how much time is needed. Be aware that the nurses do most of the work here - at least for me. I have only seen Dr. Shanti 3 total times besides consultations over 6 months - once for the SHG, once for the surgery to remove the polyps and then once for an IUI (nurses did the other 2 IUIs).
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Aida Shanti at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Granted, I have only seen the doctors a few times but all of those times, she knew my name, knew what we had been through and when we discovered the polyps in the SHG and I was in tears, she embraced me and made me feel like she really cared about my future and our goals for a family.
Describe the protocols Aida Shanti used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
We have done 4 total cycles of treatment. All included baseline and 1+ midcycle ultrasounds. The first was with Letrozole but a low dosage...and we did not do an IUI because my follicles did not stimulate properly. The second was with Letrozole again at a higher dosage and IUI (which a nurse administered) - which failed. The third cycle, I requested Clomid instead and we did another IUI (which a different nurse administered) - which failed. And the fourth cycle, we did Clomid again and an IUI which I demanded with Dr. Shanti. This was actually today so fingers crossed!

Describe your experience with Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Scheduling is easy and the receptionists are very friendly and fast. This is a big part of your journey - schedules. If something is not going the way you want it, speak up. They cannot read your mind. The only "negative" I have to say so far is the first IUI experience I described in another section of this review. This, however, has been addressed and we have made progress/plans for the future.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Aida Shanti at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
With my polyp surgery and all appointments, I honestly am not sure the total cost but we met our deductible very early this year. My husband manages this.

How was your experience with Aida Shanti at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Dr. Shanti is a very knowledgeable physician...you can tell immediately that she has a passion for reproductive medicine and that she's very good at it. I've seen several times in my visits, her rejoicing with families who bring in their "success story children" which makes the environment hopeful. She is very optimistic about results and the quality of care she hopes to provide.

Describe the protocols Aida Shanti used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
I came to Dr. Shanti as a transfer patient from a different RE, after already having tried conservative methods such as clomid. My IVF treatment plan was pretty well laid out when she took over my care. However we discussed it in great detail and she gave her input/opinions. My husband and I are a complicated case as we both have fertility issues, so IVF was really our only option that had good potential for success. We are just 2 weeks out from starting the hormone stimulation for our first egg retrieval so no real results to share yet. UPDATE: Our egg retrieval was extremely successful! Using a Gonal-f/Menopur regimen, we were able to collect 16 good quality eggs! 13 successfully fertilized via ICSI and 5 were determined to be healthy day 5 embryos that tested chromosomally normal! We transferred 1 of these embryos via a frozen cycle and got our first ever positive pregnancy test a week later! &lt;3 The first 11 weeks I supplemented with progesterone and estrogen and levels were constantly monitored--3 ultrasounds were performed during this period before "graduating" to normal OB/GYN care. We are currently 16 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby!

Describe the costs associated with your care under Aida Shanti at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
We did a shared success program which costs more up front, but covers multiple cycles and transfers. There is a 70% refund if we do not deliver a baby within the specified time frame. Single cycles also available, but the "guarantee" was a nice option to have. Total out of pocket cost between the cycle package, medications, PGS testing, and other miscellaneous charges was about $30,000.
Describe Aida Shanti's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Not discussed with her. We did PGS testing on our embryos and have no history of miscarriage or other reasons to suggest we would have trouble carrying, so single transfer is their protocol in such instances which we are okay with.
What specific things went wrong at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
  • Lost paperwork
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
As a transfer patient, there was simply confusion in communication between the old and new clinics. (not sure why as they are both within the same health system). I knew what the plan was supposed to be and the information was able to be confirmed once staff was informed and able to search for it.

We started with pills. Moved on to IUIs with trigger injections. We only did 2 IUIs which surprise me before moving into IVF. I was put on birth control to control my cycle. I took the minimum dosage for injections along with vitamin D and Dhea supplements for healthy cell development. Each IVF cycle had 14 eggs retrieved and 3 ended up blastocysts. Each time we have them tested and each time they all came back abnormal. Which is why we never reached the transfer stage. One of the eggs was slightly abnormal but we decided against transfer because of chromosome 13 being high risk. Each time we had conversations with genetics and they found nothing wrong with my husband and I. Everyone was baffled by our experience.

We had Sia [nurse at Aurora Fertility Services] for many of our visits - for the consultations and injection training. (She was our favorite.) She was patient and kind and knowledgeable.

We paid a specific amount that covered everything but medication and ensured a live birth in three IVF rounds (I believe - the specifics are on their website). If you do not achieve a live birth you get 70 percent of the money back. If felt so nice to have that extra insurance and know if it didn't work we would have a chunk of money back to put towards another means of building our family, like adoption.

Dr. Wittmaak and his staff were very kind and thorough with my husband and I. As soon as our first consultation, I knew we were in good hands. They were there for us every step of the process - from teaching us how to inject our hormones to answering all our questions. They gave us hope and took their time with us.
Describe the protocols Frank Wittmaack used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
Because of my husband's pretty low sperm count, we went right to IVF. After an examination revealed I had a great number of follicles in my ovaries he put me on a medication that would work better for me than someone with an average amount of follicles. When my ovaries got pretty big from all those eggs, he decided to freeze our embryos and do a frozen transfer two months after the retrieval so I would not get hyper ovarian stimulation. We were disappointed to wait those extra weeks, but knew it was a good decision and so appreciate him looking out for me in the long term. We did a frozen transfer, which was successful, and they kept me on progesterone shots and inserts until week 11 to support the pregnancy. They are not messing around and want you to have a baby!

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
[Dr. Frank Wittmaack is a] Very good doctor, we have unexplained infertility and we were told what our treatment would look like at our first visit. We started with IUI and if that didn't work we were told they would try the same thing 3 times. Not changing a thing. Hoping it will work out but im a bit hesitant... Even if they failed he wouldnt change a thing. If that didnt work then IVF is next. We are just starting IUI #1 so i cant really say much yet.
[Aurora Fertility Services- Green Bay is] Very good at calling you about test results and returning phone calls. Only downside for me personally are the clinic hours. I live an hour away and work 1st shift which are the same hours of the clinic so its hard for me to make appointments and get off of work for them.... One round of IUI is $1,082 (includes the insemination, sperm washing, and one ultrasound) a progesterone blood draw is $181 and each doctor visit was $370.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Always ask questions if you have any! They explain every detail to you but once you start treatment it becomes a whirlwind.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
We're in the middle of treatment right now so i cant fully comment on everything, but i feel like i see the nurses more than the doctor. Not sure if that's normal for clinics or not.
Describe the protocols Frank Wittmaack used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
We were diagnosed unexplained infertility and told he would try 3 rounds of IUI all with the same medication and dosage. Even if they failed he wouldnt change a thing. If that didnt work then IVF is next. We are just starting IUI #1 so i cant really say much yet.

We have no infertility coverage so almost everything is out of pocket. One round of IUI is $1,082 (includes the insemination, sperm washing, and one ultrasound) a progesterone blood draw is $181 and each doctor visit was $370. The only thing covered for us is any bloodwork needed. Which was a lot.

I feel his work up was not complete prior to starting treatments. I did not like that he [Dr. Wittmaack] did not preform all of my IUIs and I did not like that nurses do the IUIs and ultrasounds...I did not feel like he explained the process thoroughly or the "why" for treatments/medications. I felt rushed anytime he was present. He has a hard time comforting the upset patient making awkward jokes as opposed to putting things in perspective.
This clinic [Aurora] does not assign a specific nurse so at times you talk to a nurse that you've never met. There were a few very good, knowledgeable, compassionate nurses. There is no way to email them which is inconvenient for the busy person. You must call and receive a call back. They do most of the IUIs and ultrasounds. I got the feeling they were making many of the decisions as opposed to the doctor reviewed results and changing treatments or giving instructions.

I felt they did treat me like a human. The receptionist knew my name when I came in. The nurses remembered my situation each time.

Describe your experience with Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Clinics strengths include a private area/waiting room for only fertility patients. The receptionist is always very friendly and knowledgeable. They were easy to contact and you were not left on hold. Weaknesses include poor billing department. They did not give me all my options and I ended up paying much more out of pocket than I should have. They do not give options for outside monitoring versus monitoring treatment in their clinic for distant patients.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
There are no options for the patient that is traveling from a distant location. Either you pay the package deal and have everything done at that clinic or you pay very high costs for individual services. You must pay for every consult every time meeting with the doctor
What specific things went wrong at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
  • Failed to order appropriate test
  • Provided conflicting information
  • Failed to convey critical information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
They failed to present all options for package deals costing me a lot of money. Also, getting a second opinion from another reproductive endocrinologist, there were initial testing that was forgotten and testing that was unnecessary done. The cost of their ultrasounds and labs out-of-pocket are much much higher than other clinics.

From the very beginning Dr. Wittmaack was ready and willing to help. After advising my husband and I that IVF was probably our best route he never pressured us for an answer immediately. We took 7-8 months and when we were ready to try he was there and excited to help us. He would call me himself when something didn't turn out right or for test results. Communication was amazing and much appreciated.
I went through 2 egg retrievals [at Aurora-Green Bay]. The protocol was different each time. The first one was pretty basic and we got 12 eggs. We opted for genetic testing so at the end we had 1 female egg that sadly didn't take. For the next retrieval he had me take DHA and CoQ10 for 3 months beforehand. We got 22 eggs second time around! Again we did genetic testing and ended up with 4 female eggs to work with.

Be ready for one hell of a journey. Dr. Wittmaack will have your back the whole way. But be ready to not always get the answers you want or expect.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?

Again we did genetic testing and ended up with 4 female eggs to work with. Each one of my transfers were a little different too. Just little things were tweaked like amount and times I took my progesterone injections. And in between there were tests he had me take and do as well to figure out why my transfers weren't working. I can't remember what the test is called where they insert saline solution, I've had done a couple times. And I've also had the test done that's like a mock transfer. I take all the meds and get my body ready for a transfer but instead of transfer he removed a piece of uterine lining to see if when we were doing the transfer was the right time.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Aurora BayCare Medical Center. (Assigned nurse: I worked with a couple...I believe Brooke was one of them and Kendall I think was the other one.)
I can't say enough about the nursing staff here!! Brooke in particular was very understanding as she was also a patient not just a nurse. All the nurses there were so kind, patient, warm, understanding, compassionate, and really became like a family.
Describe your experience with Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
They're really willing to try and schedule things that work best for you. We had to drive an hour to get to appointments and they were very courteous of that. They were also amazing when it came to setting up payments that worked for us.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
We did 2 retrievals and 5 transfers. I don't remember specific prices for specific procedures but I know in totally we paid well over $25,000
Describe Frank Wittmaack's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
For me because of my age we only transferred 1 embryo. We never really discussed more because my husband was terrified of multiples haha!

My treatment was very individualized. Dr. Wittmaack saw me at every appointment and got to know me personally...He always double checks to make sure I understood the information before I left my visits. He got to know me personally through all of my appointments and always took time to answer my questions...For IUI I took Letrozle and then a HCG Trigger shot. For egg retrieval I used Lurpon, Gonal F, and Menopur. Birth Control was also used to regulate my cycles. For frozen embryo transfer I used Progesterone in Oil, Estridol Valerate and Lupron. I also took an antiboiotic to help reduce risk of infection at the time of the transfer.
They [Aurora Fertility Services] were AMAZING. Totally answered all of my questions even after hours. They encouraged me to call them at any time day or night. They were very compassionate and when I was upset they would give me a big hug and make sure I was okay. I couldn't have gone through this process without their support!...We didn't do any genetic testing so we were given the option of transferring 1 or 2 embryos. Our clinic gave us information from the CDC on risks associated with a multiple pregnancy. After talking with the Embryologist about the quality of our embryos we ultimately made our decision.

I feel that Dr. Wittmaack is a compassionate and caring doctor who always had our best interests at heart. He was honest and forthcoming with what was not always good news. Unfortunately he is an employee of a corporation and I feel that this affected how the outcome of our unique situation was handled.
This is exactly the outcome [at Aurora] we were attempting to avoid by using a donor in the first place! We then had to wait an entire month for a follow up and when I called to schedule it I was told there were no appointments available for over 3 weeks!!! We felt we were rushed through the consent signing and we were not given copies. We were NEVER told of the risk of this outcome. On the contrary we were constantly told how successful their donor cycles are!

Do not rush into anything and ask lots of questions. If you are signing anything, make sure to read it thoroughly, ask for copies and make sure that you understand the risks of the treatment you are undertaking.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Dr. Wittmaack always took the time to answer our questions and seemed genuinely hopeful and optimistic of our success. With the exception of two of our IUI.s which were performed by nurses I always say Dr. Wittmack for my appointments.
Describe the protocols Frank Wittmaack used in your cycles at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and their degree of success.
After 3 failed IUIs we were scheduled to start IVF with our own eggs, however the cycle we were to start my FSH had risen significantly and we decided mutually to go right to donor eggs. From there we encountered numerous setbacks. The first proven donor we we selected from the clinic's donor pool ended up not being available (the donor files had not been updated). Our second choice tested positive as a carrier for alpha thalassemia so we had to see a genetic counselor and my husband had to be tested. We decided to proceed as we had already invested a great deal of money on her FDA testing and psych evaluation. I was put on birth control pills then Lupronef. Our donor was not responding well to stims so we had to pay for additional meds with no notice. Then at my last ultrasound before retrieval we discovered I had a follicle and subsequent blood work showed I was ovulating despite being on Lupron. We had to then freeze for FET. Then disaster happened!!! Our donor went to retrieval. 14 eggs were retrieved; 8 mature, 2 post mature and the rest, according to the embryologist "were just bad eggs." All 8 fertilized with ICSI but by day 3 we had 5 poor and 3 fair. All were highly fragmented. By day 5 we had NO embryos to freeze. Dr. said it was 100% an egg quality issue. This is exactly the outcome we were attempting to avoid by using a donor in the first place! We then had to wait an entire month for a follow up and when I called to schedule it I was told there were no appointments available for over 3 weeks!!! I had to settle for a phone appointment. Dr Wittmaack seemed genuinely devastated for us and agreed to speak to the clinic administrator to see of they would help us out financially by discounting a new cycle or waiving or discounting our current bill (in addition to the 10k plus we had already spent we currently have an outstanding bill of over 10k!). It is not looking good as the financial coordinator said the "we signed and dated the consent forms and we knew the risks." We felt we were rushed through the consent signing and we were not given copies. We were NEVER told of the risk of this outcome. On the contrary we were constantly told how successful their donor cycles are!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
The nurses were always friendly and upbeat. They all knew us by name. I would have liked a more open channel of communication beside the phone during regular business hours for questions though (such as e-mail). I was able to text the donor coordinator once our cycle began and that was appreciated.
Describe your experience with Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
The clinic environment is pleasant and professional, though more difficult to get to due to hospital construction. Be sure to know costs up front as they add up quickly. Once your cycle fails be prepared for not a lot of follow up.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Costs added up quickly! There was an unexpected price increase at the last minute with our donor cycle. We paid around 10k for our donor's FDA testing, genetic testing, psychological evaluation and medications beyond our donor cycle fee. We have over well over 20k invested in our donor cycle (including the pending bill) and we never even got to transfer.
What specific things went wrong at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
  • Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
We were given a printed copy of the price of our donor cycle in October. When we went in February (four months later) to sign our consents and make our down payment we were informed, as I was getting out my checkbook, that the price had increased by $1000! They would not honor the original price that we were given. We also feel we were NOT made fully aware of the risks and we were not given time to properly read over and review the consents we were signing. We were never once told that their was a risk our donor (provided through their clinic) could have extremely poor egg quality resulting in no embryos to transfer! This failed cycle has left a huge financial and emotional hole! Our bill/case is currently still in review and we pray that Aurora will do right by us.

Dr. Wittmaack is a gentle, intelligent and caring man. He took as much time as necessary to make sure I understood and was comfortable with the next step. He never pushed us toward a certain method of treatment, always explaining all the options and allowing us to make an informed decision on our own with his assistance. I felt 100% confident in his diagnosis, prognosis and treatment methods and never once doubted his practice- even if the cycle turned out to be negative.
Everyone [at Aurora Fertility] was incredibly friendly and made me feel like family. I felt like if my cycles failed, they were hurting with me- and if the cycle was a success that they were celebrating with me....The cost for IVF (one fresh cycle) was $12000 The cost of IUI was about $3000 per cycle...I would trust this clinic for any of my fertility needs. I would never look elsewhere for treatment. I cannot think of one single weakness. Even if I received bad news, I always had a positive experience with the clinic.

After 3 cycles of IUI with letrozole (1 cancelled) that all failed, we decided to move forward with IVF.

Dr [Frank Wittmaack] is very unique. Very positive yet honest. He doesn't over promise. Straight shooter. He is clear with instructions and always has a plan ready. I am always approached with a smile. He has no problem answering my questions or taking to me about other options I may have available...Femera 3-7 IUI day after positive OPK Progesterone 4 days after insemination
They [staff at Aurora Fertility Services] are kind and know us by name. Never felt like a number...Nursing staff was fantastic. Always got return calls timely. Never rushed...allowed for payment plans as well as help us fight our insurance for initial testing. The insemination with a monitored cycle was about $1100, not including a progesterone test for $175. Meds were approx $100.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Go in with open mind. Fertility is so hard as it is. Experiences and emotions are generally linked with loss or gain. If there is a negative review - that couple may have experienced a bad moment. It doesn't mean it'll be a bad process for you.

Dr. Wittmaack is so kind and truly wants to help each of his patients. He's very skilled and I trust him completely. He was always very encouraging and optimistic. He always took adequate time with us to answer all of our questions...We did three IUIs with Letrozole and injectibles during the summer of 2014. This course of treatment was chosen for unexplained infertility. We conceived our daughter on our third IUI in August 2014 and are currently starting this process again (June 2017).
The cost of an IUI cycle [at Aurora] is about $2,000...The nurses were amazing. They were always very caring and compassionate. All of them were exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful as well. Struggling with infertility was a pretty dark time in my life, but the nurses always made me feel better. I feel as though they are like family now...

I was truly surprised at the care we received from Dr. Wittmaack and his staff. They must see hundreds of patients every day, but they always treated us like people and not just another number. Everyone from the receptionist to the nurses and Dr. Wittmaack always acted like they truly cared.

We did 2 IUI cycles [with Dr. Frank Wittmaack]. I believe one was with Clomid and the other with Letrozole and both times used a trigger shot. We were unsuccessful in both...I felt like a human for our initial appointment and when we were doing the actual IUIs but the follow-up care felt cold and uncaring...never really bothered to help figure out why we were having trouble conceiving, it was more about getting you pregnant at all costs...seems like he knows what he is doing. He can be a bit awkward but I did feel confident that he had our best interest in mind.

How was your experience with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Dr. Wittmack seems like he knows what he is doing. He can be a bit awkward but I did feel confident that he had our best interest in mind. It did feel like we were not receiving as individualized care as I would have liked. After the IUIs, nobody ever called to follow-up and at no time throughout treatment would anyone call unless you called them or there was a test result they needed to share. They also never really bothered to help figure out why we were having trouble conceiving, it was more about getting you pregnant at all costs.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Do your research before you go for your initial assessment and have an idea of what you are willing to spend if insurance does not cover treatment.

The clinic is nice, you take an elevator straight to the office. Everything is done there, no need to drive a sperm sample anywhere else for procedures. The front desk staff is very friendly and usually remembers your name when you arrive. You meet privately with someone about costs and insurance coverage.

I felt like a human, because he [Dr. Wittmaack] was well aware of what was going on in my treatment at all times and remembered our conversations. He genuinely cared about my success.... I had labs coming back with bad results repeatedly. The results didn't make sense, and Dr. Wittmaack stayed on the case until discovering I had antibodies thar were reacting with the lab assay itself. He is some sort of reproductive endocrinology genius.
The clinic [Aurora] is strong in having success, and that's most important. The doctor and nurses are fantastic and compassionate. Sometimes there isn't a lot of flexibility with timing, but that is truly the only weakness I can think of.... The nurses are excellent, truly care about your success, and care about you as a person, too. They are available to answer questions. It feels like they become your friends, and you need friends who understand when you're doing IVF.
How was your experience with Frank Wittmaack at Aurora BayCare Medical Center?
Dr. Wittmaack was able to make possible our impossible dream of having a baby. I had an excellent first IVF cycle, got pregnant, but sadly miscarried the baby. Due to my age, I wanted to do another egg retrieval cycle rather than FET my other two embryos. I had yet another successful cycle, and our daughter is two months old. I had labs coming back with bad results repeatedly. The results didn't make sense, and Dr. Wittmaack stayed on the case until discovering I had antibodies thar were reacting with the lab assay itself. He is some sort of reproductive endocrinology genius.

Describe Frank Wittmaack's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.

Dr Wittmaack is very friendly and down to earth. He is very intelligent and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. I have gone through a miscarriage and he was very reassuring that it was not my fault... I was always called by name and never felt like Dr had to sit and read my chart to know who I am... [Eset Approach] I was only able to transfer one embryo due to having a small uterus... The nurses were great at explaining things and made me feel like family
Marie and Linda [Aurora Fertility Services] always greet you with a smile when checking in. Nurses are always happy when bringing you back and the doctor will greet you with a warm handshake each time. Some of the visits are longer to give you information that you need to know. Other visits are very quick for testing and allow you to do treatments while working full time... The nurses were great at explaining things and made me feel like family
