Cooper Institute for Reproductive Hormonal Disorders

I'm too early in to make a very clear statement but to date he has been very helpful. He has good bedside manner, is knowledgeable and caring. I liked that he was willing to think outside the box and come up with multiple options for moving forward rather than just one.

Double check with reception prior to your appt. They're not always very organized.

It's too early to tell as we're looking into achieving pregnancy via donor embryo program.

Still too early to tell but their pricing is extremely reasonable

Went to Dr.Check after not having good experiences at 2 other clinics in Florida. I have DOR/low amh and I wanted to go to a doctor that specializes in it. Dr. Check was the first doctor that didn’t make me feel like a number. He truly gave me a chance and believed in me. Even when I felt defeated. He is an out of the box thinker (and a little quirky) but so very good at what he does. I’m so glad I took the chance to go out of state for care. I did a natural cycle with him and got pregnant my first month (after 2 years of trying IVF and IUI at other clinics). I’m halfway through my pregnancy and I know I have Dr check to thank for my miracle.

The clinic isn't as fancy and he isn't as polished as some other RE's but he's the real deal. He doesn't care about his stats and doesnt push donor eggs like my experience with other clinics. He does things a little different and a little old school---but his methods can really work. While the other two RE's i went to pushed IVF right away, he told me he could get me pregnant without IVF and he proved those RE's and me wrong.

Medicated Natural cycle--Timed Intercourse. He used intense monitoring via bloodwork and ultrasound to see what my body was naturally doing on its own and then helped it along (in my case I needed progesterone)

An estimated $1500 total cost for a natural timed intercourse cycle with Dr. Check. They have an out of state monitoring fee during TI I think it was $300 and when I got pregnant there was another monitoring fee of about $400. My insurance covered my visits which had a $50 copay and also covered the medication I needed. I also paid copays for local monitoring (ultrasound and bloodwork)---i would say $550 total with copays. I also had to pay for flying to the consult.

We didnt get to try IVF therefore dont know his approach

Going into this appointment being our third doctor in 10 months and several failed or incomplete IVF cycles, he gave us much more hope in ourselves than we ever imagined having at this point. our unexplained diagnosis turning into diminished ovarian reserve and my numbers changing in the last few months and turning 38, we were prepared to talk about if we should move onto donor eggs and not even try IVF with him or thinking we could try a cycle of IVF with him since he is less expensive and then donor eggs if needed. He was extremely comforting and telling us that he has helped many couples in that specific area become pregnant on their own without IVF or donor eggs. He has a very different approach to the other two doctors I had for treatment and another doctor I had a consultation with years ago. He is quirky and funny. My husband and I went in prepared that day for possibly receiving bad news. Dr. check was completely the opposite. It is only a month since we started there so it’s too soon to tell if our renewed accurate or not. But he handed us articles as certain topics came up in our discussion and he showed us other foot notes on his desk of studies that he has conducted. He seems extremely knowledgeable.

Be prepared to be there for 2 to 3 hours at your first appointment, for male to give semen analysis and receive results back while there that day, female exam, bloodwork and ultrasound done as well, which his staff will advise you of when you make the appointment. Out of four consults we’ve had in our life for Ivf and infertility treatments this was definitely the most comprehensive.

At our consultation they could see from ultrasound (and bloodwork confirmed the next day as well) I was about to ovulate so Dr Check went right into action; with my husband’s sample being as good as it was he took part of the sample and he did an inter-cervical insemination. He explained and I have never heard this before even though I’ve had four IUIs in my life that the sperm can live longer in your cervix then when they do an IUI. With an IUI they wash the sperm, which I was familiar with that term. The washed sperm can only live for four hours, not a few days like when you have relations naturally. This was very exciting leaving our consultation with a plan in place and started. I went back the next day for a post-coital test, which I had read about years ago in a book but never had any other fertility dr say they used this method of testing. The nurse could see the next morning that the sperm were alive and swimming fast in my cervical mucus. They let me look under the microwave too and it was incredible. I then went back a couple days later to make sure that the follicle size had decreased and that I had ovulated also having blood work taken and started progesterone suppositories and pill. He also prescribed Adderall at my consultation he explained about how this can help with implantation and other factors. I was a little surprised by this medication recommendation and how it would make me feel, but I was willing to try it and I haven’t had any major side effects. I did not become pregnant the first cycle. We are repeating a natural cycle right now before deciding if we will try more natural cycle with monitoring or move to IVF

Our 2 months of natural cycle monitoring are covered and being billed to insurance. We are responsible for copays. I guess it qualifies as diagnostic. If we continue natural cycle monitoring it will be $1600 for bloodwork and ultrasound package. If we do IVF it will be about $5-6,000 for whole process -retrieval and transfer, including anesthesia. Meds are covered.

We really didn’t discuss the details of IVF and transfers. Dr Check did sound like he does not feel that genetic testing is necessary in our case or worth the cost.

He is a great physician. He has a lot of research studies he has performed to back the reasons he does the treatments he does. You do not have to wait long for blood work and ultrasounds. Explains everything!

He is great. You do not see him every visit but the visits are quick and nurses will call you after.

My first cycle I was overstimmed from previous doctor so we did birth control. Then, we saw what my body did and I did ovulate on my own and we did progesterone supplementation after ovulation. This resulted in chemical pregnancy. Second cycle I waited and was not ovulating on my own so we started letrozole. I ended up ovulating and did progesterone post. I did get pregnant and miscarried at 9 weeks. Currently preparing to start IVf.

The prices were great. You do have to pay for monitoring if your insurance does not cover it but for IVF their prices are the best in the area/

No

Dr check is an unconventional dr who definitely does old school testing to try to get to the root of the problem. I do appreciate that but sometimes I think there can be other issues at hand which he dismisses. Prior to dr Check I was seeing a reproductive immunologist who found some immune issues. I did not have success with that dr however brought up these immune issues. Dr check didnt really believe in them and believes adderall will cover all immune issues. We had a very lengthy first consult, I was there for 4 hours and this is partially because I have an extensive history with no real reasons showing why I cannot conceive. He provides you with tons of research articles at your visit which back up his ideas of implementing adderall, extra progesterone, and a lupron shot in the luteal phase of your dr. I do appreciate how research oriented he is but at the same time he did not seem open minded to other tests I have done such as the EFT, ERA, immune testing...etc He also wants to save you money which I appreciate so he initially likes to get you pregnant using timed intercourse on his protocol. I never conceived naturally in the 7 years I have been trying and my husband has a balanced translocation. However I do know other patients that got pregnant with that issue so I figured it cant hurt to try for a few months because prior to him I was doing very intense immune treatments with another dr so can use a break. Ive done 2 cycles so far and no luck yet however they found my progesterone was on the low side despite all the suppositories and oral meds I was on. I am trying to avoid PIO because I got nerve damage from it during a transfer cycle. I will be meeting with him again in a few weeks to talk about my case again and see if he has other ideas. He seems very knowledgeable but he is somewhat scattered and goes off on tangents during the consult. This was frustrating to me because I kept feeling like I had to refocus him. However because I personally know a few women who had success with him after so many failures with IVF I figured it cant hurt to try.

Be prepared to get lots of research backing up his ideas however all this research he did himself. Be prepared to have very old school communication via faxes to get scripts..etc because they don't use email. He also records your consult via tape recorder so you can get that to refer back to. You need to be on top of everything at this clinic. There is also a somewhat long wait to see this dr in person.

Like I mentioned, Dr check likes to try to get you pregnant naturally eventhough you never conceived naturally before and have had many failed transfers with PGD tested embryos. He doesnt believe in using letrozole or clomid if you can make an egg on your own. He has you do a scan to make sure you released an egg and then another scan to ensure your lining thickened appropriately. He does a post coital test to ensure your husbands sperm still survives in your cervix 24 hours after intercourse. He puts you on adderall to control inflammation and other issues and uses extra progesterone and one lupron shot during luteal phase.

I was doing out of town monitoring so had to pay $195 for that fee. Enometrial scratch, post coital..etc went through insurance and so did bloods and scan

I met with dr cohen for a consultation and then had found out that she did the egg retrieval for our eggs retrieved from a donor. This is the first time we ever had embryos to transfer so I felt grateful to have that outcome!

The office at either location is very busy. Do not let that scary you. The doctors there are very good and worth it.

Cooper is very transparent with their pricing since they have a list on their website.

We were allowed to transfer our two best embryos at once. We ultimately had a chemical.

He is a little quirky but in an intelligent mad-scientist kind of way. He knows so much about reproductive endocrinology and isn’t afraid to do things out of the norm if he has strong convictions about his course of action. He is considered a pioneer in his field but is often criticized but others in the infertility field and OB-GYNs because he is unconventional. That said, he has a reputation for being one of the best infertility doctors in the world. People travel from all over the world to see him. He doesn’t care about the money and refuses to take a salary so that he doesn’t have to be beholden to a quota system. He will listen to all your questions and tell you point blank what he agrees with and disagrees with. If you have an unusual case he will work hard at trying to solve the problem that other doctors have failed to solve.

Trust him. He is a wise and experienced man. If you let him do his magic he will get you pregnant.

I don’t remember the name of my protocol for frozen embryo transfer. He used high doses of progesterone in oil, progesterone suppositories and oral progesterone. He also used Adderall to combat inflammation associated with my endometriosis. I had 2 frozen embryo transfers with another clinic and both times had severe cramping within 10 minutes of my embryo transfers which I believe to be the reason neither of them resulted in a pregnancy. Dr. Check agreed with that theory. Dr. Check gave me Adderall and Valium before my embryo transfer and I had no cramping.

I have done one frozen embryo transfer and the cost was around $3,000. When I told them my previous clinic charged less they gave me a discount

We had 1 PGS normal embryo remaining and 1 PGS mosaic embryo remaining. He suggested we transfer only the normal embryo to play it safe since mosaics have a higher rate of miscarriage and he didn’t want to jeopardize the pregnancy if I became pregnant with twins. We decided to transfer both embryos against his advice. I became pregnant with one baby and it turned out to be the mosaic embryo. She later tested completely normal from an amniocentesis which means Dr. Check’s theory that mosaic embryos self-correct was right.

I’ve been lucky to employ his expertise to examine my tubes, perform my bilateral salpingectomy and hysteroscopic D&C, and do a sonohystogram all prior to my first IVF FET cycle in progress now. He is very detailed and respects when you come with your roster of questions for him to answer/advise on. He is a positive doctor to be around when you are feeling down and explains every step of any procedure prior (or during if you are awake) so that your nerves are calmed. Some may be deterred by his social quirkiness, but I am here for it! I believe it takes eccentric doctors to really have a passion for the intricate work they do. This clinic takes patients who have had failures multiple times elsewhere, and helps them achieve more through alternator approaches. So I’m glad I was paired with him for many of my steps to IVF. Dr. Chang will give you his number post-operations and be available for any concern you may have. He’s also done my monitoring callbacks to give instructions on stimulation before, which was nice because it’s usually IVF nurses who do that. He cares and tries to make time where he can.

Take notes and be prepared with your questions. He will not read your mind, but will be as broad in his education as possible if you don’t speak up and advocate for yourself.

Dr. Chang has me on a Long Lupron protocol beginning day 21 of my cycle prior to IVF stims because I’m 32 with a 3.5 AMH. He lowered my dosages over the last few days and had the nurses closely monitor me into my upcoming egg retrieval. I have OHSS, but had I been on another protocol, it’d probably be worse.

I’m doing PGS, so Dr. Chang does not recommend transferring more than 1 embryo for my personalized plan. He does say in rare circumstances where there have been miscarriages or it’s an older woman, there may be reason to transfer 2.

Dr. Chang-educated, compassionate, trustworthy, informative, will answer questions, thorough, knowledgeable, is interested in giving you the information needed to make a good choice to achieve pregnancy and a baby. My experience so far, has been great with Dr. Chang.

Ask what you need to know to enable you to make your decisions. He is a professional who cares and is in his profession to help women become a mother.

It is too early. I am at preliminary stages of care and not at treatment yet.

I have not had my cycle yet. So I am still trying to determine this.

I do not know this clinic's opinion.

We have only seen him once, but we just started at this clinic about a month and a half ago. His consult was great and extremely informative. I left excited to try some new things. He is not only very smart but he is funny and made us comfortable.

Don’t get discouraged if the staff seems to kind of shuffle people around. Some of the staff aren’t my favorite people but the upside of their process there is you don’t wait long which is amazing. Some people say they felt like cattle but for me running over on my lunch break, I don’t mind it because I usually am in and out very fast.

Dr. Check did a new semen analysis for us as well as a cervical mucus test. He also had me do an ultrasound before and after ovulation as well as one 7 days past ovulation which I thought was extremely informative to me. We just started with him but I love that they monitor so closely, and I found that my lining is very thin a week after ovulation which may shed some light into our problems.

For now the costs seem in line with any other clinic, but from what I have seen, the ivf prices are very reasonable. They appear to be less costly than most places I have researched.

So while at this practice I have been in the care of 3 out of the 4 doctors in the practice. Dr. Check has only consulted on my case. I adore Dr. Chang. He has been a great communicator. My situation is very rare and from my research and time at other clinics before this, I do think I am at the right practice for my situation. I'm 30 with a diminished reserve, low AMH and high FSH with low LH. Dr. Chang is younger and seems to explain things better for me. The nurses, eh. There are good ones and not so good ones. I love the girls who take my blood. Overall, the nurses could do a better job greeting people or explaining appointments, etc when new patients come to the clinic. I once "got in trouble" for having a full blatter at an ultrasound, but I had got to the bathroom. I almost bit the tech's head off (injectables! haha) Overall, no one explained the entire process to me when I was first diagnosed. I was so overwhelmed. They could have done better job, consoling me or offering therapy options to deal with the situation.

Ask for a consult with Dr. Chang or Dr. Cohen instead of Dr. Choe. Dr. Check is very smart. He was one of the first researchers in this field, but the delivery of Dr. Chang is better than Dr. Choe from my experience.

Because of my situation, I was unable to do IUIs. My insurance wouldn't let me do IVF without having 3 failed IUIs first. The doctor advocated for me by writing a letter. After that, we tried a combo of Menopur and Follistem injections. I created 2 eggs which were retrieved but did not fertilize. The next month, we only did Menopur. I created ovarian cysts. The following month, Dr. Chang increased the amount of Menopur I was taking. I created 4 eggs, 2 were retrieved. 1 fertilized and did not implant.

The IVF cycle out of pocket expense cost us about $6000-$7000 each time. The first cycle, our meds were covered by insurance. At that point we met the "lifetime" max for meds. Which is funny. The actually IVF is covered, but the meds to get me there aren't. Menopur is approximately $80 per vial (I have a great pharmacist!) but I will be taking 4 vials day to stim - and that does not include the gonal or other meds like the premarin/provera to bring on my period to even start the cycle. Plus estrogen, endometrium, etc.

The embryologist at this location is great. She always explains things in lames terms to us. With that said, I have never had the opportunity to transfer more than 1 embryo and cannot comment on that.

Me and my wife loved how he explained everything and was compassionate and kind, he also told us they have a program that would help us with the finances which was a big concern for us! We got accepted I tot he donor egg program where my wife will give 1/2 her eggs to a woman in need and in return the cooper institute will pay for our IVF procedure. We waited 6 months out finally got chosen but the woman backed out and my wife got put back on the waiting list. The doctor did tell us this is a possibility, so we were aware that this could happen, but now we have hope somebody chooses my wife again and goes through with their procedure which will help us with having our own family one day

To write all your questions down you want to ask your doctor and if your not sure about something ask them to go over it again. They are very patient

First was to sync my wife and the donor recipient together on same cycle, weeks later transfer the embryo to my self and we chose to transfer two day 3 embryo

It would be $9,000 but because of financial reasons me and my wife went into the donor egg program where they would pay for our treatment if my wife donates 1/2 her eggs chosen by a recipient

He did have a strong approach towards 1 embryo 5 day transfer, but I wanted 2 embryo 3 day to be transferred Incase I lost one chance I had another.

Dr Jerome check is Down to earth, honest , gives all treatment options , make you feel very hopeful no matter what treatment you decide , he is nonjudgmental. Is willing to treat any one no matter the age or issue

He will give you the hope and positivity you need

I did mini stim with gonal 75-150 mg daily plus menopur 75-150 mg, adderal 15 mg cr, Im progesterone 2 cc, vaginal progesterone bid ganirelex to stop ovulation! This resulted in my live child Protocols now are natural with added Injectables for iui so about day 8 adding in gonal or follistim 75-150 mg ans ganirelex plus progesterone suppositories bid and oral

4150 for Ivf medications xtra and lab copays cost me about $6500-7000 total per round

Dr leaves it up to the Pt but explains all the risks and benefits

Dr. Jerome Check is definitely a doctor I can recommend and can trust his words 100%. He is a very positive and caring doctor, he takes his time explaining everything throughoutly and can leave his clinic feeling positive and at peace.

Stay positive and hopeful as I am. This is not an easy process but have faith that one day it’ll happen.

I used injections, suppositories and oral medications. Letrazole to make me ovulate, side effects only pain in Breast, nothing major. Hcg injections, mophur, no side effects. And vaginal suppositories which are progesterones in case pregnancy took place it’ll help the uterus wall to sustain pregnancy if conceived. No side affects on suppositories.

Per cycle: Per IUI- $400 Blood work and sonogram package for 6 visits $800 Progesterons suppositories for 2 weeks worth $100 Hcg injections $100 per Injection. Leprazole $25 for 5 pills

I never got to do any transfers, I’ve only tried IUI because that’s all I can afford.

Dr. Check is compassionate and thorough. He looked at our prior experience and tests and developed a specific, individualized plan. He monitors very often to ensure that he truly understands your cycle and its patterns, strengths, and downfalls. He performed tests such as the postcoital and identified problems that had never been considered in our prior experiences with othet clinics. In consults, he is aware of your individual struggles and history because he takes the time to know and understand you. He also communicates with his staff often and adjusts the plan as you go along. He listens to your concerns and takes them seriously.

Understand that while his methods seem a bit outdated and crazy, he cares about each individual person and will literally try anything within the realm of fertility care to get you pregnant.

Dr. Check immediately ruled out Clomid and Letrozole due to the fact that it can cause more problems than solutions. He also showed us that IUI success rates are not actually great for our situation since we had good sperm analysis results. He opted to have us try "natural cycles" with timed intercourse and progesterone. With the 1st cycle, he monitored so closely that they increased progesterone to ensure that my lining was perfect. With the 2nd cycle, they performed a postcoital test which showed mostly dead sperm. He added Mucinex to correct this, followed by another PC test which showed completely opposite and excellent results, meaning that my cervical mucus may have been the problem all along and that the Mucinex had thinned it out to allow sperm to pass through more easily and live longer. He also prescribed a Lupron injection each month along with an endometrial scratch to improve implantation conditions, as he believed this may also be the problem. In later cycles, he added more progesterone to hopefully improve things, and we had a chemical pregnancy on our 5th cycle with him. He also added Adderall on the 5th cycle on the chance that it can control "natural killer cells" which sometimes inhibit implantation. He showed us and explained the research for each treatment along the way. Though we still are not pregnant, he is fine tuning things and getting closer to identifying the underlying issues.

There are some copays for office visits. They really do what they can to make it as financially easy as possible, including medications and finding the cheapest and best resources available.

Unknown

Dr. Check is a unique, eccentric, well-established, knowledgeable, highly recommended man. I feel that I am in great hands with him and his staff. All of the nurses are extremely passionate and knowledgeable as to the next step and explain every procedure and labs results in detail.

Think outside the box and research all dr abd clinics before you decide

He started me on adderall, bloodwork, post coidal testing and ultrasound monitoring. First month just didnt happen. Second month egg showed not a good cycle thru bloodwork, call when you get your period. 3rd cycle ovulated way too soon (day 4) we still tried to make this cycle work but no go. 4th cycle started on ethanol estradiol for 10 days to suppress FSH, too high at start of cycle, then follistim once released, estrogen and progesterone vaginal suppositories 2x a day. 5th cycle same as 4th but with added progesterone oil injections then with negative preg test - endometrial scratch. 6th cycle same as 5th cycle also did another endometrial scratch- this time it hurt so bad i told them i would never get that procedure done again. Currently just about to end 7th cycle- doesnt look like it will end in a positive pregnancy test.

At the beginning my insurance was covering ultrasounds and bloodwork but for some reason now i am getting phones feom the billing dept about some denials they are recieving back from my insurance. I dont know if they changed the way the billing is coding things. I know my insurance hasnt changed, its been the same. As of today im waiting to hear back from the billing dept.

Not able to have IVF, my insurance doesn't cover it and any of the medications.

Dr. Jerome Check is a very nice guy. He is very understanding. We sat down and talked to Dr. Check for our consultation and he developed a plan for us. It was a good plan. I will say, that was the only time we seen Dr. Check. Everything else like my Endometrial Scratch, Egg Retrieval, and Egg Transfer was done by someone else (Dr.Chang). But even thou it wasn't successful, it was still a great experience.

Dr. Check knows what he is talking about. He is a good Doctor. Make sure when you set an a appointment for a consultation at Cooper, you set your appointment to see Dr. Check.

Endocrine Scratch Forgot the name of all the medications Egg Retrieval Egg Transfer 1x injection(forgot the name of medication) Progesterone suppositories

I believe I paid over $ 9,000.

No Comment

Jerome Check is a peculiar man but seems to be very knowledgeable about infertility research. He does not nickle and dime his patients which I thoroughly appreciated. It is not easy to follow his train of thought but he does not rush his patients. I do think he cares about his patients but that does not translate to elevated care. The ONLY pros to seeing Dr. Check is 1) Cost and 2) knowledge of research.

Personally speak to all parties involved in your treatment BEFORE all procedures take place. Do not assume that the communication you expect to take place among your caregivers will happen without your intervention. Being your own advocate is not enough.

Because of my low/declining AMH and lack of insurance coverage, I was put on on mini-ivf, so my protocol consisted of lower doses of fertility drugs. Looking back, I am not confident that this was the right approach and if the Dr. had looked deeper into my overall health, I think he would have prescribed a different protocol. If Dr. Cho had been informed about my special case and adequately performed the egg retrieval, I would have been satisfied with the results, but due to lack of communication, only 5 mature eggs were retrieved of the 14+ measurable follicles I had. After a disappointing egg retrieval, we went forward with a second cycle. Again, due to poor communication, (it took me 3 days of calling the clinic to get someone to call me back) I started the second cycle late and missed out on the first couple of days of stimulation. The second round we had less follicles and retrieved 6 mature eggs. Not successful for a healthy 30 year old.

I was a long distance patient and monitored off-site.

I think an egg retrieval cycle (excluding meds) costs ~$5k

We did not get to the embryo transfer stage.

Dr. Check was blunt and honest, which is exactly what I wanted. He told me exactly what to expect and how to proceed if I chose to move forward. He discussed the probability of conceiving and the procedure for fertilization and meds to help me conceive. After the initial visit, I did not see him again.

Go prepared to be told exactly what could happen.

Since I was advanced maternal age, Dr. Check told me on my first visit that I should choose donor egg for my cycles. I was already doing donor sperm, and if my objective was to have a child, donor egg would give me the best shot. I used injectable Gonal F, Estrogen suppositories and tablets, injections of progesterone.

Minimal as most was covered by my health coverage.

I never did a single transfer. I did two transfers with three embryo's each.

Dr. Check’s work ethic and personality made him a great fit for us. We needed to smile, but also needed direction with a plan. The staff there are world class, and adore Dr, Check was well. I recommend him to anyone willing to listen!

Trust him.

Letrozole prior to IUI for 5 days ( I think to speed up follicle growth as my cycles were very long) Trigger shot for ovulation After IUI, progesterone injections daily. Prometrim and estrogen pills once a day. Endometrin inserts 3x daily. Menopur. One week after iui, Lupron shot for help with implantation. Throughout, continuous monitoring with blood work and ultrasounds. One week after iui, lining check.

All were covered by insurance. $10 co pay to see Dr. or nurse, but nothing for bloods or ultrasounds. Iui was $10

Na

I felt like a human being here and they didnt just get me in and out. They actually explained things to me and showed me what they were seeing. They had alot of appts so it was easy to get in. I actually had some success while being under his care!

Trust in his process! It may sound crazy, but this man knows what hes doing!

Ethinyl estrodial which tremendously reduces my fsh and adjusted my hormones so that I would ovulate! Once my numbers got down they would put me on clomid or menopur or follistim injections to grow my follicles and then hcg trigger to release the egg.

Had insurance so not sure about finances

Not applicable

Dr. Check can seem like an oddball. He is socially awkward and very brainy, but the care that I received at Cooper was wonderful. The nurses took time with me and never made the feel rushed. Everyone was warm and accommodating. Dr. Check was committed to finding out what was wrong and fixing it. If something was unsuccessful, it was evaluated and a new plan of action was created. I felt like everything was explained to me in a digestible manner.

Don't be put off by your surroundings. Dr. Check has a unique style, which translates to all of his offices. He can come off as odd, but he is brilliant, passionate and committed.

My IVF with Dr. Check was significantly less expensive than all other clinics that I researched (less than $5,000, including medicines).

He knows exactly what he’s doing and has a lot of experience and knowledge. He’s willing to try methods that other clinics may not be willing to try. I felt as if he was really invested in my successful outcome. At the same time, he’s not selling u realistic dreams and advises of various outcomes and methods that would work best depending on your situation. I felt very confident that I would end up successful at his practice.

Do your own research and don’t be afraid to speak up and advocate for yourself. Your fertility is a joint effort.

I have diminished ovarian reserve, but Dr. Check was willing to try and see if we would be able get at least one viable egg before turning to donor eggs.

She is a superb doctor who cares deeply about her patients! She answered all questions thoroughly and explained the step by step process fully. She is patient and extremely compassionate. She worked extra innings the night of my appointment and had no qualms calling me herself when she wanted to give further instruction. Her treatment was one on one, you can’t beat that!

Listen to her and ask all questions!

They are reasonable.

N/A as of now.

Doctor Jerome was compassionate and very understanding of my health and financial situation. But I wish he can communicate more clearly and look at risk factors more closely for each patient. I had success with him but since I was doing natural cycle, he should have looked more closely into my tubes and encouraged me for an HSG. That would have eliminated my ectopic.

Know your case thoroughly. Research a lot about your situation and ask relevant questions. Be your own advocate. They have lots of patients so it is hard for them to remember.

All of my cycles I used ethinyl estradiol and provera/prometrium and regular monitoring. That is due to my high FSH. The cycles I ovulated they put me on Lupron shot progestrone and estrogen in the Luetal phase.

Very reasonable and they are very helpful.
