Dr. Binor makes you feel comfortable from the second he sits down with you. He is very down to earth and gives you answers even if it’s not what you want to hear. He’s honest about issues and treatment and doesn’t try to sugar coat anything or push treatments just to make money. He’ll crack jokes to lighten the mood, which really helped put me at ease when we’re dealing with such a stressful topic. When we first sat down for our consultation I was nervous because he didn’t even have any of our paper work that was transferred from our previous doctor. He started talking and he knew every issue and every test that we had done previously without referring to any notes! I was amazed he took the time to review our file in such detail that he didn’t even need to bring in our files to reference. He drew pictures so we could understand exactly what he was he was talking about and suggested for a plan moving forward and explained each test so we knew what we could expect. Our other fertility doctor wasn’t concerned about my huge fibroid but Dr. Binor said he needed to know everything about it before he could give us an answer on why previous IUI’s didn’t work. Turns out it needed to be removed and he referred us to another doctor for my surgery. He said he’s sending me to a nationally recognized doctor for fibroid removal. He said he could remove it but this doctor was even better than him at it and it doesn’t hurt his ego to say he’s not the best at something. He truly wants to give us answers (even if they’re bad) and give us the best treatment and care we can get.

If you haven’t been able to find answers and have been struggling for years Dr. Binor is the doctor to go to for help. Be open minded and know that some of the answers might hurt but at least they’re answers instead of never knowing what the issue is.

Dr. Binor started with blood work for my husband and I. He tested my husbands testosterone level, which was never done with our previous doctor. He ordered ultrasounds for me at cycle day 3 and on cycle day 12 he did a test that shows if my husbands sperm is surviving in me and to test my mucus. Again, another test that wasn’t done with our previous doctor. Then he did blood work for me to test if I was releasing an egg. He also ordered an MRI on my uterine fibroid to make sure he had every detail of it.

The cost with Dr. Binor has been a little lower than my previous fertility doctor. Some of the testing I thought would be expensive turned out to be cheaper than what I thought. The nurses gave us the costs of all testing before we did it too.

Dr. Binor is always smiling and laughing. He makes the i fertility process lighter and always asks what your expectations are and explains everything you need to know. He draws out everything and uses colors and explains everything so well. He makes you feel like you’re in control of your care. I was very nervous to see a reproductive endocrinologist but he is one of the best.

Always be ready to adjust and don’t feel nervous asking questions.

Clomid from days 3-7. Then follistim 50 units with blood work and ultrasounds every day or two days to see the size of the follicles. Once the follicles were the right size would have to inject ovidrel the trigger shot. After that was instructed to have timed Intercourse for the next 3 days and then start progesterone orally. They would give a date to come back for an ultrasound to make sure the follicles released and then would give a date to check for pregnancy.

I had a $2500 deductible and once I hit that this year all of my care under dr binor was covered by the insurance 100%.

He has been very kind and compassionate. As an LGBT couple with difficulty trying to conceive, we did not feel any stigma or discrimination. We felt very welcome by Dr. Binor. We would definitely recommend him to our other LGBT friends trying to conceive.

Be ready. He’s going to get you pregnant.

I started with a clomid cycle for my first IUI of 150mg. My estrogen was too high later on so I started taking progesterone 150mg after a few days. That cycle was not successful. For the second cycle I took 200 mg of clomid and had very large follicles. We used the ovidrel trigger shot and then did the iui same day. I am currently in the two week wait.

The insurance approved $1200 for each IUI . My insurance charged me $100 for each ultrasound and blood work

Dr. Binor is a sweet man who really takes the time to explain the process to his patients. He literally drew us pictures to show how everything works. He has a great sense of humor and is extremely kind. I felt like we were his only patients and he was going to do everything in his power to get us pregnant. Every time we had an appointment with another physician and Dr. Binor was brought up, every since physician told us that Dr. Binor would absolutely get us pregnant, no doubt!

His humor can be a little dry sometimes, so if you’re unsure, he was probably joking lol

I don’t recall all of the names of the drugs. Dr. Binor said our wallet is the number one thing on his mind and he wanted to get us pregnant as soon as he could. He had us talk to maternal fetal medicine since my wife is obese. Then he did an HSG to make sure her tubes were clear. Then he started us on clomid with a trigger shot and inseminated about 30 hours after trigger.

I don’t remember details, as our insurance covered almost everything.

My doctor does very well with explaining the process. with male infertility playing a part he explained how sperm develop and even drew a picture to help us understand. He very compassionate and sees you as a client not how much money he can make. He has worked with us financially and looks out for our well being including the pocketbook. The only draw back to the clinic is the appointment times. It is hard to see him because he is the only one in the office.

Be patient with the appointments. When you finally get the appointment you will love all the staff

We started with wanting to try medication. He indicated it would give us a good understanding. Going into the office a HSG had already been completed. With four failed clomid tries he wanted to test the sperm again and found the count was low as well as the movement. He is recommending IVF at this point.

Currently my is covered by my insurance. I have not paid for any of my procedures or visits. The only thing i pay for at this point are procedures such as IUI and IVF

We have talked about IVF but not how many he would like to transfer. He however has said he wants to lower the chance of having multiples.

Dr Binor is exceptionally thorough in explaining what next steps to expect from initial work-up, to prescribed treatments. Dr Binor really takes the time to explain the physiological aspects of infertility and uses diagrams to aide in his explanations. When our IVF was unsuccessful, he was genuinely disappointed. I would have liked him to be more open about his thoughts on success given my diagnosis. When I did ask about this his response was along the lines of , "just think positive." He was the 1st doctor my husband and I went to and we were overall impressed from day one.

The same with any physician....be your own advocate

3 IUIs with clomid 3 IUIs with injectibles My insurance required this before moving onto IVF. These were unsuccessful. It should be noted at this clinic the nurses perform the IUIs. IVF # 1: BCP + Follistim + Ganirelix + HCG trigger. Transferred 2 embryos. Used oral progesterone and HCG boosters This was unsuccessful IVF#2: Similiar protocol but used combination of Follistim & Menopur for stimulation. Only 2 eggs were retrieved and embryos did not make it to transfer.

Most often I got in right away. There were only a couple of times where I had to wait greater than 15 minutes

I had insurance coverage

I have recommended Dr Binor to friends going through infertility. He breaks things down so you understand exactly what is going on. He doesn’t waste your time and or money. If something isn’t working he moves quickly on to the next step. He is wonderful and I owe him everything for helping us get our miracle babies.

Expectto move fast. He doesn’t waste time. He wants to figure out what’s “wrong” and get you to your happy ending ASAP.

Lots of bloodwork and ultrasounds a few times a week. We actually moved walking distance to the hospital he works out of which made life so much easier for me. Especially with early morning appointments.

Luckily we have pretty good insurance. So once we hit our deductible we didn’t have to pay anything.
