Virginia Fertility & IVF (Ivy Fertility Network clinic)

Dr. Smith was very straightforward in telling us our potential outcome. She did not sugar coat it which we needed. When our first retrieval didn’t go exactly as planned she was quick to meet with the other doctors and develop a new plan. When I had to delay my transfer, she also worked with me to find a quick alternative plan that I am excited about. She talks very fast but is happy to repeat things until they make sense. I feel like I understand most things before having to move forward and that has made the process very smooth regardless of our outcomes.

Ask questions and have her repeat. She talks so fast. I would stop her and ask her to repeat often because understanding each step was very important.

I used a micro dose lupron for my egg retrieval due to DOR. We got 5 eggs, 4 mature, 4 made it to blasts, 2 euploid but only 1 free of our genetic condition we are carriers of

22000

The clinic only does single embryo transfers to my knowledge

While I appreciate Dr. Smith's thoroughness in outlining our options, I do not feel like she heard all of my concerns. Timing is a really important issue when using previously frozen sperm because it does not survive as long as fresh sperm. When I brought this concern to Dr. Smith she just said they did not recognize a difference at the practice. She went on to tell me about how they have had many successful IUI's, but did not differentiate between fresh and frozen sperm success rates. This is a big issue with all IUI providers who do not do a good enough job supporting LGBTQIA+ people trying to conceive.

Do your own research on timing of your IUI. Track multiple cycles and build confidence with understanding your ovulation. Then, advocate for yourself. If you can't inseminate in a time frame that works for you, skip that cycle.

I think the protocol was just to track my cycles and use an ovulation predictor kit. We did two mid cycle ultrasounds and called when our ovulation kit was positive.

Dr. Goodman is the perfect match for my husband and I. We instantly felt a patient/provider connection with her beginning at our new patient consult. She even took the time to draw a demonstration on paper for us during that first visit, giving us a visual of what my body should be doing each month. She explains everything in great detail. In a world where Google can cause negative thoughts, we’ve left each appointment with her feeling informed and at ease. Her calming and nurturing approach has definitely made a difference for me, as infertility can cause much anxiety and nervousness.

A lot of information is covered during the first consult. Definitely write your questions down and bring them with you.

So far, we have only done medicated cycles with timed intercourse/trigger. However, she has always kept us informed and educated of our options moving forward when we are ready to do so.

We only have insurance coverage for diagnostic testing, so all of our ultrasounds and treatments are out of pocket. I believe so far, it is reasonably priced compared to research of other clinics.

Each visit I had with him he spoke to me like a human being. He made sure to address my concerns of how we were still not conceiving even when doing everything correctly and as he instructed. He made sure to answer every question myself or my husband had an took the time to really explain the processes to us.

Take notes. This is such a vigorous process that I found myself needing to write down EVERYTHING.

We have done NUMEROUS medicated cycles. Most cycles we have to induce a period with progesterone since I have PCOS and don’t have regular cycles, then I do a ten day course of Letrozole 7.5mg, a trigger injection, and typically 2-4 ultrasounds to monitor everything.

Typically each medicated cycle my husband and I are able to acquire money for, it runs us at least $500.. the doctors have been suggestion we consider IUI or IVF. But a single IUI cycle will run us about $1400, and we can’t afford that.

When we first started seeing Dr. Williams back in 2018 he took the time to thoroughly review my chart and sit down with my husband and I to explain why we were potentially having the issues conceiving. He explained every procedure and set along the way and we happy conceived our first child after only a couple of months of medication therapy. When we decided we wanted to expand our family last year 2021 we scheduled a follow up appointment with Dr. Williams to review what steps we needed to take this time around. He again sat down with us and explained our game plan. Unfortunately we have not been as successful this go around (currently completing our first round of IVF) but he has been very responses and compassionate the whole way through.

Nothing that I can think of, I think that Dr. Williams does such a great job with his care and communication with his patients, there is nothing unexpected with him.

As previously mentioned in 2018 we did medication therapy with Letrozole for two months before we conceived our first child. He explained that coupled with metformin (which I was already taking at the recommendation of my OB/GYN) is a common first step treatment with PCOS and recurrent pregnancy loss. When we started seeing him last year 2021 we started the same treatment again, with the same mindset as before, however after 5 months of medication therapy we discussed the natural next steps of IUI. After 2 failed rounds of IUI he recommended we consider IVF so we began the injection therapy for the egg retrieval process which we completed on 3/27/2022. I'm currently in the down regulation phase of the IVF cycle currently taking birth control and waiting authorization status of the Lupron injections.

Yes, we were provided our benefits coverage when we first started going back in 2018. Then we decided to expand our family last year 2021, they took the time to contact me prior to my appointment to review by benefits at length with me again. Then before we started IVF therapy we again contacted by the financial counselor in their office and she provided a breakdown of coverages and out of pocket expenses.

You can tell Dr Goodman is a rockstar doctor. After having procedures with two other doctors, it was incredible to see the difference in my results. My previous two other retrieval’s resulted in 12 and 13 eggs collected, Dr Goodman collected 35.

If you live in Virginia, go see doctor Goodman. Don’t waste your time on doctors you’re not confident in. It would have saved me a lot of time and money.

Natural start for stimulation. No birth control priming. 350 gonal F 150 menepor. I was supposed to do a double trigger but due to being at risk for OHSS, I just triggered with Lupron. Results were 35 eggs retrieved, 33 mature, 31 fertilized, 15 blasts, 6 euploid, 4 mosaic, 5 aneuploid. I am 35. This was a stark contrast from my previous two retrieval’s at other clinics. 1st retrieval primed with Birth control, 250 gonal f 150 menepor. Results 12 eggs retrieved, 8 mature, 3 untested blasts which resulted in failed transfers. 2nd retrieval 13 eggs collected, 9 mature, 6 fertilized, 3 embryos all aneuploid. Transfer protocol was 2 months Lupron Depot due to stage 4 endometriosis, prednisone, antibiotics, PIO and suppositories, and estrace. Transfer is successful so far I am 9 weeks.

I did the shared risk program which I was surprised I qualified for after so many failed cycles. The shared risk program is 26K for up to 6 retrieval’s and unlimited transfers. For me it was worth it to pay extra for the insurance after so many disappointments. For one retrieval with unlimited transfers it is 11K

ESET with euploid embryo

He is very thorough in assessment and treatment. He makes sure that I am able to understand the plan of care and am comfortable. I have never felt rushed or like I’m a number. He answers my questions, no matter how many and makes sure we are in agreement

Don’t wait to go see him! I travel about two hours one way and I wish I had went to him first. He found and surgically treated my uterine septum almost instantaneously....within the first two months. My previous doctor never diagnosed my septum the entire treatment course

During my initial consult, I had an ultrasound performed along with bloodwork. This happened is one appointment and in one location. I didn’t have to run around to accomplish all of these things. Before I left the first day, my next appointment was set up for an HSG. Afterwards, my MRI and surgery was scheduled all within two months. I love that there is weekend availability for transplantation and insemination!

Copay and deductible after insurance

My egg retrieval was about two months ago. My embryo transfer was scheduled to happen last week so two weeks ago we went into the office for an ultrasound. Dr. Smith performed the ultrasound and showed me that I had fluid in my uterus. She calmly explained why it was bad for a pregnancy and that the implantation wouldn’t be successful. She allowed me time to cry and came back in the room to follow up. She called me a few days after and again the next week after reviewing my entire chart with the entire staff to ensure I had the best course of action for our next cycle.

Regardless of you who see at RMSCVA, bring questions and take notes. Infertility is extremely detailed and the course of action is unique to every patient.

My first FET cycle was the basic protocol from my understanding. I did Lupron injections for weeks, took estradiol, and intended to take progesterone but my cycle was canceled. My next cycle will be a natural cycle meaning I will ovulate on my own and visit the office every other day.

My cycle was $10,500 plus medication. I was quoted about $5k for medication but we’ve spent about $8k on meds so far.

Every time I asked if we could transfer more than one embryo, the answer was always “you can but we always suggest just one at a time.” I’m 24. I get it. I have a lot of time to continue treatments. But we’ve been trying for 4 years and I’ve had a cycle canceled for unknown fluid in my uterus. Dr. Smith mentioned that it’s rare for this to happen and if it continues to happen, they can’t do anything about it. So, we may end up going against staffs wishes and requesting two embryos. You have to fill out a form that you understand you’re allowing two chances at life.

Dr. Bateman would let me speak as long as I needed in order for me to feel as if I got my point across. We were not pushed to do things we were not comfortable with. He always had a smile on his face. He would explain everything we were going to do and if I had any questions, even if he already explained it, he would explain it again to me. I never felt as if I was being pushed out of his office. Definitely made me feel comfortable with our next step.

As with every doctor, make sure you have some knowledge of what you would like to do. If not, always ask questions. This is your body and speak up for yourself.

First cycle with Bateman was 7.5mg letrozole with an IUI. We had an ultrasound to make sure follicles were growing then once a positive ovulation test occurred we called to schedule the IUI. Second cycle was the same but no ultrasound since he already knew I responded well enough to the meds. I thought I had a positive pregnancy test, super faint, so we went in for blood work. It came back negative and my cycle started. Bateman said it was still possible to get a faint positive so he wanted to switch up the protocol. We did 5mg letrozole with one gonal f injection on cd 9 then ultrasound and trigger shot when positive ovulation test occurred. No pregnancy occurred. After that we wanted to take a financial and emotional break.

Consultation was around 500. First appointment was about 95. Then the IUI was around 445. Medication was about 5 dollars for letrozole (went through insurance) the injections came to a total of about 330.

I really like Dr Bateman although, I wish he were more forthcoming with information. I don't always know what questions to ask and would rather be overwhelmed with information than not having enough. Sometimes I think my doctor holds back information or details because he is being compassionate. Even though this is an emotional roller coaster of a process, I would prefer for my doctor to be open and divulge as much as possible.

Do your research and ask all the questions you possibly can.

We started with IUI and had four failed attempts. The suspected cause was my PCOS and my partners sperm motility. We moved on to start the IVF process middle of this year and currently preparing to transfer one normal PGS tested embryo. We are hoping transfer will be scheduled for early November!

My insurance doesn't cover infertility treatment so everything is an out of pocket expense for us. Each IUI attempt cost around $400 (4 attempts totalled approximately $1,600). We are doing a special "success or refund program" through our clinic. Cost of the program is $26,400, medications so far have been $3,100, pgs testing $3,950, anesthesia $450, and egg storage is $155 quarterly.

My doctor strongly suggested single embryo transfer due to the additional risk of a multiple pregnancy. At first I was really hoping to get pregnant with twins but after talking with my doctor and doing research, I would prefer to have a strong healthy pregnancy with one instead of adding any additional complications.

From the first visit with Dr. Williams I always have felt comfortable. He makes sure to address all questions and concerns and explain them to make sure that my Husband and I understood. Every time we are there for a visit he focused 100% on us when we were in the office. He’s very caring and cares deeply about his patients and wants what’s best. Even when treatments don’t go as planned he’s there and ready to go forward with the next necessary steps. He does a great job at keeping you positive even when it feels like everything is falling through and makes sure you have the right recourses because he knows it’s not any easy process. Even though we cannot see him every visit he’s always there if I call with any questions or concerns. I would 100% without a doubt recommended him to anyone that is going through infertility. I’m so thankful to have Dr. Williams.

Trust him. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions or address any concerns. Let him know exactly what/how you are feeling. Be honest and up front with him and he will do whatever he can to help.

Our very first visit in the beginning of 2018 I went it knowing something just wasn’t right. My husband and I wanted to start a family soon, but I wanted to get my cycles “back to normal “ before we started trying. Initially we were trying to get my pain under control and regulate my cycles and try and figure out the cause of my irregular cycles and terrible pain. Did lots of bloodwork and had lost of questions. After blood work and diagnosis of PCOS we discussed treatment options. My husband and I then decided that since this was my bodies “normal” we would go ahead and try starting a family. We got put on Clomid (50 mg, I think) and tried timer intercourse with ovulation tests and monitoring ultrasounds. After many failed attempts, Dr. Williams discussed getting a Laparoscopy to remove Endometriosis (that by my symptoms he was pretty confident I had). So we went forward with the procedure February 2019. After the procedure and removing the endometriosis, we decided to try with Letrozole (because the Clomid gave me really bad headaches) and ovulation test again. We were All hoping that since we remove the endometriosis it would give me better chances. After months of that not working either, doctors recommended to start IUI’s. I then got out on injections (Gonal F and trigger shot) with the IUI to hopefully allow me to produce more eggs and give us better chances. Unfortunately they failed as well, so now after discussion and prayer we are on to IVF.

Co-Pay with my insurance prior to IUI $50. I may have gotten billed after appointing for what insurance did not cover, but nothing crazy. Meds from pharmacy before IUI NO more than $20 IUI treatment around $470 IUI injections around $400 from a discounted pharmacy, the nurses orders the meds Currently working with IVF now about $16,000 all together.

We are currently starting the IVF process.

Dr. Williams is kind and informative. He is blunt, but in a compassionate way. He also makes you feel comfortable and wants you to ask questions. He's explained more to me than other doctors have. He explained risks that i might have due to being a cancer survivor, kindly explained each course of treatment, and was quick to share lab information.

Do not be afraid to ask all of your questions. He is very knowledgeable and wants you to be informed.

I informed him on my first visit that i was a cancer survivor and also chlomid resistant. He actually listened to me. He started with a check of my ovaries to make sure i had eggs and that there was no damage to my ovaries. Something no other doctor has done in my 25 years of remission. He started me on 7.5 mg of letrozole on days 5-9 to start. The next cycle it was 7.5 again, plus trigger shot. The next cycle was 7.5 again, but I ovulated before the trigger shot. That cycle failed as well. On my current cycle he stated he is getting more aggressive. I will now do 7.5 on letrozole days 3-12, 5 mg of prednisone, and trigger shot.

I have no fertility coverage through my insurance. For an ultrasound and bloodwork it is around $300 every time i go. Plus the cost of meds. On my income, that is pretty difficult to handle since I go sometimes twice a month for these things.

Dr. Smith is honest, caring, and efficient! She has always been honest with us and willing to answer all questions. Dr. Smith has stayed with us longer than expected to answer more questions as well as discuss future options.

Take notes! So many topics are covered during appointments and information can be forgotten. Dr. Smith is very informative and knowledgeable.

We have done 2 rounds of IUI due to my husband's low motility. During this time we have taking Letrozole each round to increase ovulation on my end to potentially increase our chances of a successful pregnancy.

As of today, our cost has been 730 per IUI cycle. That cost includes the IUI as well as the follow up appointments for ultrasounds. Our insurance will not cover any procedures until our deductible has been met. The staff has always been transparent about cost.

Coming to the clinic for the very first time after suffering two miscarriages my husband and i were already in a defeated mode if you will. But very soon after seeing Dr. Williams the first time i remember just sitting in his office and going over what felt like every little detail, and as sad and upsetting it was it also felt very needed for what was going to be our best treatment plan. I can't explain it but i felt more upset and frustrated before coming to the clinic. I walked out of the first appointment with a lot of hope and for the first time since having my second miscarriage I didn't feel as sad anymore.

Listen to their plans. It seems like a lot of stuff that you have to do to even begin, but it's all worth it to figure out what you need from them!

Once all the pre- testings were over. We started out with oral medications to stimulate ovulation. The reasoning behind this was before we started the clinic I was not having a cycle on my own which means i wasn't ovulating. So it only made sense to start with letrezole. We had tried clomid at our previous obgyn and it didn't work. So we tried the letrezole and realized from an ultrasound it wasn't enough. So the next plan was to continue the oral mediation and then add a trigger injection and do IUI. We've did that three times now with no success yet. But from blood work done we do know the medication is working. So we are trying iui one more time.

I have been seeing Dr. Williams at Reproductive Medicine and surgery for 9+ months. He has preformed all of my procedures related to infertility; including HSG, many many many MANY ultrasounds and a D & C when I had my miscarriage last year. There isn’t a better reproductive endocrinologist. When I was diagnosed with a blighted ovum in December; he delicately explained what was happening to my husband and I. He even revealed that he & his wife had gone through the same thing twice. He was sincere and respectful to my choice of having a D & C, where other doctors would have pushed me to take medicine or let it happen naturally. He is cheerful each time I see him, and always makes sure I understand everything about the current treatment plan. Infertility SUCKS! But we are so glad to have Dr. Williams on board with us.

Trust him! He knows what he is doing.

We have tried several different types of protocols along our infertility journey. Dr. Williams diagnosed me with PCOS & Hashimotos disease. I was given Metformin and Synthroid for these issues, which have both helped. I have taken Progesterone MANY times to reset my crazy cycles. No stranger to Clomid either. Most recently we have done a trigger shot with timed intercourse.

Oh boy. The ugly side of infertility. My husband and I have a high deductible insurance plan. Therefore, hardly any of my treatments or medications were covered. The cost now for ultrasounds, medications, monthly visits and D & C procedure is about $4,000 currently.

Dr. Smith did my initial consultation and I felt she was very thorough in everything she talked to me about. She stopped very frequently to ask if I had questions and to reassure me. I have seen her several times in the duration of my treatments and she has always treated me very well, shown great patience and knowledge of my particular situation. She seems to determine our next steps by carefully analyzing where we have already been and what could be deterring us.

You will find a trustworthy and knowledgeable doctor and you will feel cared for and respected under her care.

Dr. Smith tried to utilize my summer off last year (I'm a teacher) to run through all of the initial fertility testing. She also prescribed me clomid both with and without IUIs early last fall. We also did a prescription of Letrazole with Follistim injections and an IUI last November. The rationale behind these procedures was a progressive approach to getting pregnant through the least aggressive means. Each time we were unsuccessful, she encouraged us to keep trying and change what we were doing somewhat. Unfortunately, none of these procedures resulted in pregnancy.

At first, my treatments were not at all covered by insurance, so once I started doing IUIs and injectible medications, the cost went up drastically. Visits and ultrasounds were somewhere between $100-200. I believe an IUI is around $400. Medications are anywhere from $500-2500.

Based on information I have been given alone (I have not yet gone through this), I believe that Dr. Smith and all of the other doctors at her clinic use single embryo transfer approach in hopes of reducing the health risks to mother and baby.

I explained this mostly in the previous question however we really did appreciate having him as a doctor. He explained everything to us every step of the way and again did not get frustrated but he understood when we had questions and helped us understand. I honestly don’t feel that we’ve had any negative experiences with him.

He’s very knowledgeable and detailed when helping you understand your fertility process.

We originally had another doctor at clinic but have had Dr Williams the last several times. We are on our first IVF process so I don’t have too much feedback here since we’ve just begun.

So far we’ve seen the cost to be comparable to others in Virginia. Virginia does not carry IVF health insurance so we will be paying the full bill. Charlottesville has given us their lending company that they have researched and we will be using.

My husband and I are still considering doing multiple and did bring this up with Dr Williams. He explained his preference with doing a single transfer and why he prefers single from the risk of doing two. While we understand his explanation of risk, all of those things are possibilities when someone gets naturally pregnant with twins. Dr Williams is of course leaving the decision up to us and was still very positive with us.

Working with him over the past few years has been great, glad I was referred by my OBGYN. Once meeting with him the concerns I had were addressed and sought to get answers. Currently we are taking a break from treatment but looking forward to coming back and working on a plan with Dr. Williams specifically. In past visits and procedures we worked with other doctors whose manner has been different from Dr. Williams.

Go into any situation regarding infertility with an open mind and your questions. Don't shy away from wanting to know and express your concerns and needs. Dr. Williams is excellent in hearing your concerns and working with you to address them.

I was initially referred to Dr. Williams in 2017 after repeated visits with my OBGYN with concerns of pains, not getting pregnant, having cysts, and lastly performing an SIS and later HSG which showed a blockage on my left fallopian tube. At this point I was referred to Dr. Williams. Dr. Williams then meet with me for a consult and did his own blood work, HSG, pelvic exam and listened to my concern for continuous pelvic pain. He also ran a sperm sample on my husband and later referred him to a specialist, urologist Dr. Smith. From here we discussed laporoscopy to find out the cause of the pain which revealed stage 1 endometriosis. From here we developed a plan to start round of clomid on days 5-9 now that the endometriosis had been cleared. I went through 5 cycles of clomid and husband in medication to improve his sperm and still no pregnancy. Then in July 2019 we did our first IUI with another medicated cycle again resulting in no pregnancy. Due to mounting frustration with infertility and paying off bills accumulated from these visits as it's not covered my our insurance we decided to take a break. Hoping to resume things in November.

The cost was usually the most concerning for us as our insurance considered this clinic out of the network as well as our insurance plan does not cover infertility treatment.

He was very well educated and talked to us on a level we could understand. Dr. Williams didn’t rush through the appointment, but rather took time to even discuss other factors of our lifestyles that might help us to work on.

Definitely choose this doctor, even though we haven’t successfully conceived yet, I fully trust he is doing the best to help us through this process.

I had an ultrasound during the initial visit to check me so he could have a better understanding of my needs. He also had my husband do a semen analysis to check to see if he was also a factor in our inability to conceive after my previous provider had done numerous IUI’s on us. Come to find out Dr. Williams discovered my husband not only had low sperm count but also low testosterone. They were able to refer him to see a urologist who is now treating my husband in hopes to raise those numbers, before we proceed to another IUI attempt.

About $300 for initial visit.

Dr. Smith has been very straight forward with me and has explained all of the procedures to me although she does sometimes talk a little bit fast and can be a bit hard to follow. She seems very knowledgeable and medically minded. I do feel that she is very focused on results and that is exactly what I need from a doctor, especially in this field. As I stated before, I would not say that she has a relaxed bedside manner which for my husband is not a good thing, but I prefer this personality type in this particular setting. She is always willing to answer any questions that I ask, and she always knows how to answer my questions. My experience with Dr. Smith has been positive, other than the fact that I’m not pregnant yet!

I would say that if you want someone who is relaxed and easy-going, someone who makes you feel calm, Dr. Bateman is the doctor that you want. However if you want someone that is dynamic and thourough, Dr. Smith does fit this profile. I would recommend her.

Dr. Smith prescribed me various medications and and three cycles of IUI. This was not successful, but I think that this is standard protocol to follow prior to IVF. Next, Dr. Smith recommended IVF with PGS, and so that is what we are doing.

IVF was A little over $14,000. I think that the rounds of UUI were a couple thousand dollars each.

Dr. Smith has recommended a single transfer. According to what I have read on all other resources, this is the best approach. I feel that she makes responsible and cautious recommendations. This makes me feel that she has my health and her best interest .

Dr. Williams is a well known in the region and has been recognized with numerous awards which lets you know he’s great at what he does. He is very informative but always shows compassion and is very understanding of our frustration with infertility. He maintains dignity and walks me through every step when I am having a procedure or scan done.

Come with a lot of questions and stay off of the internet because sometimes the internet can discourage and it’s no need because Doctor Williams will answer every question entirely to assure you feel comfortable with every procedure or injection.

We went through two IUI cycles and with the second cycle I was injected two days before the IUI took place. Before coming to doctor Williams I had a hysteroscopy done to make sure I did not have endometriosis or fibroids or any big cysts. Every visit I have a transvaginal scan done to measure each ovary and see how many possible follicles I have. I am suppose to go every 5th day of my cycle to make sure I can begin taking my letrozole.

A single fresh IVF cycle is 8600 IVF freeze all cycle is 13,000 Frozen embryo cycle is 3,000 And they also offer a IVF refund program that involves getting money back for a failed cycle No medications are included in these prices but they do include the anesthesia and so forth for the procedure

They have a very detailed page on all of the services they offer along with prices which include the embryo transfer, freezing of embryos, IUI, IVF and so forth.

Dr. Chris Williams is the best doctor I have ever seen. He knows his stuff and is a well rounded professional. He provides a trusting atmosphere, with compassion, but still getting to the point without providing false hope. I absolutely love Dr. Williams and would recommend him for anyone and everyone who struggles with infertility. He provides a hope simply because of the trust I have in his knowledge and professionalism.

That he is great and to fully trust his decisions. Be open and honest with him, because that's what he does with you.

Dr. Williams did everything he believed was the safest and most effective routes during my treatment. He initially provided the most cost effective route, but once he felt that IUI's would not work, he suggested IVF if I was willing. Dr. Williams never jumped the gun, but still kept the same timely goals in mind with me and my husband.

I had little to no issues with monitoring appointments. They would also provide alternatives to come to local places for monitoring near my hometown, so that I would not have to drive all the way to Charlottesville.

IVF is expensive anywhere you go, but I felt as though this clinic has the best options financially. I would highly recommend others to go through Reproductive Medicine of Virginia.

Dr. Williams suggested to transfer only one embryo because he felt as though it was the safest. I trusted his decision, as he provided statistics to support his theory and suggestion.

He is very patient, understanding, and listens to his patient’s concerns. He explains everything in detail and spends an appropriate amount of time to every patient. He doesn’t give you a sense of false hope. He is provides his patients realistic expectations.

Trust him because he is a great doctor who is extremely knowledgeable.

After having all of my lab work, Dr Williams performed an HSG, and ordered a semen analysis for my husband. It was determined my tubes we’re open and my husband’s sperm was found to be completely normal. I was diagnosed by Dr. Williams as having PCOS and he recommended IVF as the next step for us.

Most of the laboratory work ordered was covered by insurance. Out of pocket was around $230. I also paid about $750 out of pocket for the HSG. And then $35 co-pay for each visit.

I prefer to do multiple embryo transfer if we have numerous viable embryos.

Dr. Smith is amazing. She listens to You and understands that you are trying to get somewhere with trying to have a baby. She is very through and makes sure you understand everything that is said. She is very cheerful and really enjoys what she does. My experience as a patient has been awesome!!! I know my future encounters with her will be just as wonderful.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions in anything you may not understand.

I have not had any cycles done with Laura smith. I have had a lot of blood work taken to check amh, thyroid and amongst other things. I had also had a HSG which my tubes are perfectly clear. I took The varicella vaccine twice and I am Immune to it. Whenever I am able to, I can start treatment, but it looks like it will be a while. Iui with objectibles or IVF would need to happen ( that’s if I can lose Enough weight for IVF :( )

$787.00 - consultation and blood work $695.00. HSG $140.00 follow up visit w results $1,763.00 lab work bill from The hospital that was separate from Reproductive Medicine and Surgery Center of Virginia.

N/a

Dr. Williams is incredibly knowledgeable about this field. He makes you feel at ease at such a difficult time in life. He doesn’t rush you out of the office if you have questions. I trust his judgement and truly believe that he wants us to make a successful pregnancy as much as we do.

Book him now.

We had diagnostic testing first. Then exploratory lap for endo. Found mild case of endo and adjusted the game plan. Husband also has low morphology. He was seen by urologist and nothing was wrong. Can’t figure out what is causing the low Morph except possible environmental exposure during a deployment. We tried one round of clomid with my body responding fine but no baby. Then 5 more rounds of IUI with no luck. They would have stopped after 4 but I needed to prove six attempts before insurance would pay for ivf. Egg retrieval went well with no complications. However the transfer was disappointing. We did FET due to choosing PGS. My body didn’t respond to the hormones and my uterine lining didn’t grow. I didn’t feel I was fully educated that this was a possibility and came a large disappointment. We went ahead with a transfer with some education on reduction of success due to thin lining. We met with dr Williams again after the failed cycle. He was very kind and shared of disappointment. However he did not dwell on it and shared the plan for next cycle and sounded very hopeful for us, which we desperately needed at that time. We are trying long term Lupron to suppress my endo (even tho it’s a mild case) and attempting another transfer after the first of the year. Fingers crossed as our insurance coverage won’t cover much more after the next transfer.

As mentioned before, we could never get a straight answer on what we paying for specifically. We have spent almost 17 grand out of pocket including PGS and one transfer. We also have insurance that will cover 15 grand in infertility coverage one time. Tricare covers sporadic things and the office is never able to tell us what they are covering.

Given our age, dr Williams has always encourage single transfer.
