Parkhill Women's Clinic

Our previous Dr before coming to Dr. Bailey would always waste our time. I would wait hours after my scheduled appointment before he would actually see me, and Dr. Bailey has never made us wait more than 5-10 minutes. That's one of the top reasons I love him as our Dr. He's kind, compassionate, and he knows that everyone's time is just as valuable. Speaks volumes to me.

You're in good hands! Never be afraid to ask questions, because he will never steer you wrong.

Dr. Bailey started us by having us both tested. When my husband's SA came back perfect, we focused more on me. He started us on just medicated cycles, because he knew how important it was for us to try as "naturally" as we could to conceive. When that didn't work, he suggested doing IUI's. After 5 failed IUI's we became disheartned by it all, but he kept pushing us to not give up, because he had seen miracles happen. We proceeded with a little more blood work to see if there were anymore underlying issues. Blood work was all good, but then we discussed a laparoscopy. From that, we found a small amount of endometriosis and a cyst on my tubes, and both were removed. He had put a plan in motion from there, but with the virus we've had to move that around a little.

Unfortunately, our insurance doesn't cover anything "infertility related", so all medication and procedures are out of pocket. Dr. Bailey has done 3 out of 5 of our IUI procedures and has treated us like family through all of them and has gone out of his way to give us a "family discount" (I'll never be able to thank him enough for it either), with the other 2 IUI's performed by other Dr's we paid around $400-$700 (not including medication, which cost about $200 all together)

Dr. Hix's bedside manner is really great. He's informative, caring, understanding and never leads you astray. He explains details thoroughly and always seems to know what I might ask before I even get to it. Dr. Hix makes you feel like he wants that positive pregnancy result just as much as you do. I absolutely hope he can be a part of our successful pregnancy/delivery for us one day.

Trust him! He knows what he's doing.

We have done an HSG, 2 rounds of Clomid, ovarian cyst removal surgery, and multiple rounds of Femara with timed intercourse and IUI's. He has prescribed Metformin, Progesterone, Buspirone (for stress/anxiety), trigger shots for the IUI's. HSG: came back oridinary no blocked tubes Clomid: I did not respond well and developed cysts as a result. I had to have surgery and Dr. Hix performed the surgery. It was successful in removing the cysts and while he was "in there" he check for endometriosis anything unusual. Everything came back normal. Femara (timed intercourse and IUIs: Has been successful in developing follicles/ovulation, just haven't had a a positive pregnancy test. Dr. Hix has been positive for each one.

Insurance covered most of the medications. Trigger shots were never covered - about $129.00 for each. After insurance, IUI's cost about $200, ultrasounds cost about $50.

Dr. Hix did his absolute best to ensure that we understood what the options were. He did thorough diagnostics, he offered options for treatment, he made sure that I had a choice. He was supportive at all times and positive. He had a plan and took us through it one step at a time. He is honest and forth coming, he has great bed side manner and his staff is wonderful.

I recommend speaking with Dr. Hix about his expertise with fertility patients. The clinic provides a service that is desperately in need in the area, the only clinic that treats fertility through IUI. But they are not reproductive endocrinologists and this does create some limitations.

The first step was diagnosis, for both of us, HSG for me and sperm analysis for my husband. Once the results came back, his approach was to use fertility medications (chlomid, then femara) to ensure we could time intercourse to ovulation. He did ultrasounds and used trigger shots to ensure our timing was exact. After 3 rounds without success, he suggested moving to IUI. Over the course of 4 IUI cycles we switched from Chlomid to Femara, added estrogen and progesterone to the cycles. None resulted in a positive pregnancy test.

Prescriptions were based on my Rx coverage. Scans were covered by my insurance, and were $120/scan. IUI was also covered by my insurance- the total cost was $340 per insemination
