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.

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
She [Dr. Campbell Samuel] is friendly, knowledgable, informative, and kind. She has a good bedside manner and is a good listener. I do wish she was a little more aggressive with treatment as I would like to be pregnant sooner than later. I am a plus sized woman and did not feel she was judging me or discouraging me from trying. ... She spoke to me with respect, kindness, and I felt that she has hope for us.
I feel that the clinic works well together. I like that Kaiser Permanente has everything in their clinics rather than having to go to different companies labs and pharmacies. ... The big problem is there appears to be a lack of staff due to limited availability of appointments. ... Great labs with experienced phlebotomists. Never been stuck twice. ... I did not have an assigned nurse so I felt the communication could have been better as I felt I had to explain my file to them sometimes.

Describe the protocols Emilia Campbell Samuel used in your cycles at Kaiser Permanente PNW and their degree of success.
For my annovulation, we did letrozole 2.5 mg from cycle days 3-7 for 2 cycles. As I was still having a 9 day luteal phase I inquired about an increase to 5mg same days. We have been doing that now for 3 more cycles with an 11-12 day luteal phase. Progesterone checks 8 days post positive ovulation test.

Describe your experience with Kaiser Permanente PNW.
I feel that the clinic works well together. I like that Kaiser Permanente has everything in their clinics rather than having to go to different companies labs and pharmacies. It makes it easier. The big problem is there appears to be a lack of staff due to limited availability of appointments. I have felt my infertility appointments have been months out, same with ultrasounds. Great labs with experienced phlebotomists. Never been stuck twice.

So far they have not been very high but we have only taken medication so far and I have really good insurance. It's hard to say because not everyone has the same insurance coverage.
