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.

I couldn’t tell you about any weaknesses [at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery]...Only great things to say about Dr. Phy’s staff. Every single person was sweet, understanding, and excited for us...PCOS...prescribed me 3 cycles of clomid...Round 2 of clomid I was much more calm about my tracking, tracked until I saw a spike in LH, did the intercourse as planned...now 11 weeks pregnant and baby looks fantastic
How was your experience with Jennifer Phy at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
Dr. Phy is amazing. She explained everything so thoroughly to my husband and I. And was absolutely thrilled for us when she found out that round 2 of clomid fixed the issues we were having with me ovulating. I’m very blessed that is all it took for us to get pregnant as I expected it to be much more of a battle. Dr. Phy was the first doctor to truly show me and explain that all I needed was help ovulating. Forever indebted to her!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jennifer Phy at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
Trust the process and trust Dr. Phy. Her experience is grand and she is the reason I will get to have the babies I prayed so long for.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jennifer Phy at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
Dr. Phy is absolutely the best physician I have ever seen in the medical field as a whole. She takes beautiful care of her patients and truly shows that she cares about what happens for your family. I would recommend her to anyone I know who is struggling with their fertility.
Describe the protocols Jennifer Phy used in your cycles at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery and their degree of success.
Because I have PCOS, my biggest issue was not ovulating and not getting my cycle regularly. Dr. Phy prescribed me 3 cycles of clomid to try with the first one being premeditated with progesterone to get my cycle going. Round 1 of clomid was unsuccessful, i ovulated too early in the cycle (this is what i believe). Round 2 of clomid I was much more calm about my tracking, tracked until I saw a spike in LH, did the intercourse as planned, and just prayed for the best. I am now 11 weeks pregnant and baby looks fantastic. I would definitely consider myself one of the lucky ones in the fertility world.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery.
Only great things to say about Dr. Phy’s staff. Every single person was sweet, understanding, and excited for us.
Describe your experience with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery.
I couldn’t tell you about any weaknesses. I had nothing but a completely positive experience with Dr. Phy and her team. My biggest advice is to just trust what Dr. Phy is telling you and ask all the questions you have to her. She is more than happy to answer.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jennifer Phy at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery.
Fertility treatment is expensive, that is just how it goes. But it was worth every penny.
Describe Jennifer Phy's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery.
I would always trust the approach Dr. Phy recommended to me.

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
He [Dr. Robert Kaufmann] is such a knowledgeable and helpful doctor. He makes sure every visit that we are comfortable with treatments and testing and gives us multiple options for moving forward. He is very good about talking to me and my husband and not just one or the other. I never feel talked at or inferior. He is great at explaining things in ways that his patients understand. If we ever have questions he answers them honestly. We have never met a Doctor so patient and understanding. I would recommend him to anyone and we have just started our journey.
Just like every clinic some of the office staff [at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery] has their days. It just depends on who you talk too. Overall though we have had a good experience. I normally don’t have to sit in the waiting room long and it’s always clean. They are very busy though sometimes it’s difficult to get in.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Kaufmann at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
Be honest and upfront. He asks a lot of questions initially and needs real answers to help you to the best of his ability.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Kaufmann at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
He has been available 24/7 and very kind and hopeful for us. We started seeing him when I was already pregnant. Unfortunately I lost my baby at 8 or 9 weeks and he was there and did my D&C after hours so we could be sure to retrieve genetic tissues for testing. He has prayed with and for us and has been so encouraging during these times of uncertainty.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery. (Assigned nurse: Debbie Morrison)
I cannot say enough about her. With COVID-19 going on, I have only spoken with her Over the phone. She has gone above and beyond to make sure I had everything I need and to answer any questions or concerns I have throughout the day. When I miscarried she called just to check on me and make sure I was doing ok. Such a compassionate woman who is very good at her job! I can’t wait to meet her face to face.

Dr phy is just flat out amazing. She has wonderful bedside manner. She is easy to talk to she explains everything you need to know up front. Dr phy is non judgmental she is very kind. Dr phy is very encouraging. I had a bad experience previously so I was kinda nervous but from the moment my husband and I walked into her office for our consult we knew we made the right decision. It was like black and white completely different feelings and it was definitely the right choice for us. She has helped us in every step of the way
The main nurse I worked with [at Texas Tech Center for Fertility and Reproductive Surg] her name is Crystal. She was amazing answering all my questions even when I felt like they were silly. All the other nurses were fabulous as well. Each one is very kind and helped along the way. Also the ladies up at the front desk were and are amazing! Shannon Is a true angel! She was there for me when I needed someone to cry to or even just have a hug.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jennifer Phy at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
Make sure you call and make an appointment ASAP. Dr. Phy is so popular there can have a 6 month waiting period to see her!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jennifer Phy at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
When I first went for a consult with Dr. Phy I knew immediately that I made right choice to change Dr.s Dr. Phy is amazing! She was gentle, encouraging, she was positive she explained everything in detail. She was friendly and non judgmental.
Describe the protocols Jennifer Phy used in your cycles at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery and their degree of success.
So for our treatment with Dr phy we did our 2nd IVF treatment. We used gonal-f, lupron, menopur, and we also added femara to help me ovulate better also she added in progesterone Injections and some pills to help with the embryos stick and for me to not get an infection from the egg retrieval. We were able to get more eggs this round then previous with our old Dr. And we were able to make it to transfer day! But unfortunately my transfer did not work.

Describe your experience with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery.
Strengths are all the people you come into contact with are there to help you! Anything literally questions concerns or to just needing a hug they are there for you. Literally everyone I talked to was so helpful. Only thing I'd say about weakness is the waiting period. The waiting period could be a little long on some days. But Dr. Phy always apologized for it. And with the care you get it's worth the wait.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jennifer Phy at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery.
I do know Dr. Phy has IVF packages. I'm not sure how much iui is there.
Describe Jennifer Phy's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery.
My Dr ultimately gave us the choice to pick one embryo or two to transfer but she did say transferring two had higher success rate and it could end in multiple babies which my husband and I were ok with.

He is not 'touchy-feely'...but his compassion truly comes out as he assists you through the process. We didn't need, or want, the touchy feely. We wanted a scientist. Successful and confident but also caring in his own way. He demonstrates caring in that he explains every detail with you, takes your phone calls or texts any time of day, but he probably won't cry with you or possibly convey false hope to build up spirits. He says it how it is...but is so passionate about what he does.
[Texas Tech University's] Strengths--physician and nurses Weaknesses--clarity in billing. We thought after a specific event we would have a refund in place but it was used for 'other' things. So we thought we would have about a $2500.00 credit...but then as we sat in their office, it was used for other things. It was heartbreaking. For both of us as working individuals, this was extremely devastating and financially difficult.
How was your experience with Jaou-Chen Huang at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
Dr. Huang was realistic with us. Although we have not had the outcome we had hoped for through IVF, he sincerely cared for us, communicated quickly with us, and went above and beyond when we needed medication through a weekend. He spent time with us at every visit and just truly listened to us and our hopes and frustrations.

He was factual, but so caring. He spent time with us, explained things, drew pictures of the process, and was so excited when we had 18 eggs and 9 embryos.
Describe the protocols Jaou-Chen Huang used in your cycles at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery and their degree of success.
Some I have forgotten. We have used letrazole for fertility pill treatments and also we have used a VERY expensive medication I couldn't remember the name of in 2014 along with Lupron for the preparation of the frozen transfer. The 2nd transfer we used more oral hormone based treatments with progesterone injections at first which produced a very odd reaction and then the vaginal suppositories had to be ordered.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery. (Assigned nurse: Michelle)
Their entire team was wonderful and compassionate. Celebrated successes and showed so much support during difficulties. I am a nurse, as well, and I couldn't say a single negative thing about them.

She was very kind and warm to us even in our darkest time...Was seen after an ectopic pregnancy and she was very compassionate and understanding but most of all encouraging and optimistic. Very thorough, professional and over all the ideal doctor.
The clinic [Texas Tech University Health Sciences] overall makes you feel at home and answers any questions you have... I would recommend a new patient because are so kind and want to make your dreams come true...As I come in they [nurses] greet me back and start the ultrasounds. Very gentle and welcoming.

Describe the protocols Jennifer Phy used in your cycles at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery and their degree of success.
I started on Femara 2.5 mg twice daily on cycle days 3-5. I also went in for a baseline ultrasound on days 1-3. She wanted me to come in for another ultrasound to check my follicles on cycle days 10-13. If my follicles reached 18mm on my right ovary then I could trigger with Ovidril. If not I would have to try again the next month. I lost my left tube due to ectopic pregnancy and my follicles are only maturing in my left ovary. So now I have to do In Vitro Fertilization.

She [Dr. Phy] seems to want to follow the patient's lead. She presents all options and listens to all of our concerns. She never rushes us out, and will even do an examination if I request it.... She let us try femara and clomid. With Clomid she was very careful to monitor my follicle growth since I had a high risk pregnancy previously and she did not want me to conceive multiples.... She is very considerate of our feelings and takes time to listen to us and explains things thoroughly. She is never in a rush.
They [Texas Tech U Health Sciences] have a great new location. There is sometimes a wait, but that's because the staff are so involved and take the time to listen to all of the patients. They are very easy to work with and they are always extra careful to check out insurance restrictions prior to making any testing or procedure plans.... They made sure to call me with lab results even though it was 5 o'c lock on a Friday. They had also rushed the lab to get the results to me before the weekend.

She let us try femara and clomid. With Clomid she was very careful to monitor my follicle growth since I had a high risk pregnancy previously and she did not want me to conceive multiples. She has wanted to do an exploratory laparoscopy on me for quite some time, which I keep denying because I have a busy son at home, but her logic is sound and she has been very patient with me while I am still on the fence about it.

[Dr. Jennifer Phy] demonstrated a caring and compassion that I had never experienced with previously providers. She in truly on this journey with us, invested in our success, holding our hand each step of the way...During my first miscarriage, she was truly right there with me, personally calling to check in and ensuring that she did all she could in finding a possible explanation prior to moving forward.
[Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery is] Very busy, they were short staffed during a portion of my journey, however, they always replied to messages or phone calls...The billing department has been wonderful, fighting with me for appropriate insurance coverage...difficult to get in initially...once you are an established patient, they are awesome at getting uou in!

I am beyond grateful for her and would not want to be on this journey with any other physician.

I had multiple procedures done with Df. Kauffman. I had 4 IUI’s with Clomid and 1 cycle with Letryzol. He always was very positive after each procedure but I never got a positive pregnancy test. ... I do feel that he used the same protocol over and over and unfortunately I never got the results I wanted. In a sense, I feel that he did not know what steps to take next in helping me get pregnant.
The clinic [Texas Tech U] is organized and our wait time was usually minimal. The ladies behind the desk are kind and are always willing to answer any questions. They always had my billing in order and let me know how much it would cost ... Debbie [nurse] was organized, punctual and informative. Her personality can seem blunt at times and sometimes she came across as not compassionate. Overall though, she was good at her job and helped us out so many times.
How was your experience with Robert Kaufmann at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery?
Dr. Kauffman is a very kind and informative Dr. He is a great communicator and takes his time to explain things in detail. I had one procedure that turned out to be very painful and he was very compassionate and checked on me several times. I do feel that he used the same protocol over and over and unfortunately I never got the results I wanted. In a sense, I feel that he did not know what steps to take next in helping me get pregnant.

She [Dr. Jennifer Phy] is very positive which is a great thing when struggling with infertility! She always makes you feel calm and hopeful. She is always working to find the problem and the solution to the problem. When something isn’t working she immediately reevaluates the situation to figure out the next move...she is very willing to sit down and talk with you and answer all your questions...We have only done one treatment with her. I had the laparoscopic surgery for endo and then when I healed we went on to letroze for 5 days (2 2.5mg pills) we then weighted about a week to let the follicle grow more on its own. When it was ready we did a shot of ovadril and IUI. The treatment was unsuccessful. We are currently on our 2nd treatment with her. Letrozal 5mg daily till follicle reaches 18.
There is a long wait to get in the clinic [Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery-Lubbock] as a patient. But the dr. Phy is definitely worth the wait.

He [Dr. Jaou-Chen Huang] was always very detailed and optimistic. Sadly our fertility treatment was unsuccessful but I did become pregnant naturally a month after he performed surgery on me. We are now pregnant with our second child. He removed a septum on my uterus, scar tissue, cleaned my tubes and scraped my uterus. I had 3 miscarriages prior to seeing Dr Huang.
We rarely had to wait over 10 min [at Texas Tech Reproductive Center]. It was easy to schedule appointments and check out. The staff was very friendly, they all tried to know you. I did not like that the blood draw area was not private. There were 2 blood chairs and the restroom was off that room.... IUI was approx $1500 IVF retrieval started around$12,000 Retrieval meds

I think he [Dr. Jaou-Chen Huang] was very knowledgeable but I think if my chances at getting pregnant were higher he may have shown more interest. He told me not to waste my money. I felt like he didnt want to try to help me...He didn't even give me that [Eset] as an option...I felt like if they had thought I would have had more of a chance to get pregnant I would have had more interest from the doctor...
I think they were organized [at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery]. I think the support staff was great. I just wish the doctor [Dr. Chen Huang] would have done more. The staff calmed my nerves when I needed surgery. I heard good things about the other doctor in rye office but they told me I had to stay with my assigned doctor...I had to have a surgery and his nurses helped me with getting off of work and fought for me with my employer.
