2020, Unknown Success
Review of
He [Dr. Isam Balat] is the first dr that genuinely cared. He gave me his cell phone number and even came in on a Saturday morning to do an iui...He is very caring and specializes in fertility even though he is a obgyn. I never had to wait long to see him, he always was super positive but realistic. He does have a heavy accent and speaks fast so it can be hard to understand sometimes...didn’t respond well to clomid and didn’t have enough mature follicles so dr balat said not to waste money on iui that cycle and just do timed intercourse. Next cycle- letrozole- responded very well and had 5 mature follicles And ovulated- did iui- no success. 3rd Cycle- tried clomid again- did not respond well again. Dr said to stick with letrozole. Currently- put me on bc for 10 days to restart my cycle before trying letrozole and iui again. Want to try iui 4 Times before switching to ivf
They [staff at Plaza OB/GYN] are all very sweet. The office is busy so it can take a while to get a call back but they do call same day...my insurance does not cover anything fertility related but since dr balat is an obgyn it was able to be covered! All visits, ultrasounds, medication, etc. only thing not covered was trigger shot and iui which were not even close to the cost of any of the nearby fertility clinics. I believe the cost for my iui was $180 and trigger shot was $100
