Think Fertility

Dr. Deng was very thorough and had a great bedside manner. She explained every step of the process and stopped to answer questions. She adjusted medications based on my body’s response to them and her approach to this felt as if she really cared about me and preventing the risk of hyperovulation syndrome. She was respectful and knowledgeable. She cared about my nausea and discomfort after my egg retrieval by offering extra medications, and also comforted my mom as it was difficult for my mom to see me after having my first surgery. Very wonderful doctor and skilled in her profession!

Be open about your intention during your fertility experience and ask questions!

We started with birth control which I had never taken. I started to experience spotting and then heavy bleeding which I was concerned about. Dr. Deng called me to explain this is normal and reassured me that we are on track with things. We then started both an oral and injectable hormone medication to stimulate egg growth. The appointments were efficient especially for being early in the mornings. We then added a second injection which again was easy to do and understand. Throughout this process, Dr. Deng decreased my injection doses due to good egg growth and given the number of follicles I had. I felt she really cared about me while she was making these adjustments and reviewing my bloodwork to prevent the risk of hyperovulation syndrome. I felt everything she did was effective and outcome worthy during my physical egg retrieval and my post procedure recovery.

I highly recommend Doc Jie Deng as a Fertility Doctor because she is very flexible especially in fixing appointments, she is a kind hearted person and understand her patients, she explains every detail you may encounter while on the treatment, she is straight forward on things that might happen and gave advices on what to do do next. I love the way she treat her patients because its like a family.

Have faith on the process.

After my first visit, I follow all my Doctors advice on when will I start my medications and on what ever the dosage she gave me. I did a frequent monitoring visit to my Doctor to check me on how am I doing or having reaction on my meds. We have a portal where I can easily message my clinic if there is a problem and reply me as soon as they got my message. I can always call my Doctor too and patiently answer all the questions that I asked.

Better discuss with the Doctor if you plan and can transfer a single or multiple embryo before doing the PGTa.

I have started my IVF in another clinic at the beginning but failed to retrieve any eggs in 3 cycles. After working with Dr Deng, I have explained my concern to my situation and she made good plan with more frequently monitor during treatment. We collected 4 mature eggs in one cycle and went with fresh day3 transfer. Unfortunately the first baby was miscarriage since genetic reason. And we went with 4aa embryo transfer this May and it succeeded. I am 14 weeks pregnant now and super thankful to Dr Deng and Edyta for all support you provide.

we went with estradiol priming strategy and it worked.

I have no issues with Dr. Deng she is great at what she does and her staff works with me. She made me feel like a person who cares about what she does and took the time to listen to me. Her bedside manner is very warming as well and her staff called me once they received my information, unlike other places that just made me wait for weeks and sometimes months. I also love her flexible schedule and she listened to what I want not what she wanted to come up with.

Make sure that you communicate with your doctor! strongly advocate for yourself to and Dr. Deng is extremely understanding. She will come up with a plan that will work for you!

I know that for my consult it was $190 which was reasonable compared to other places that was charging $350-$400 just for an hour phone consult. I will see Dr. Deng in person.

Very thorough. Best care received. Made sure to provide evidence based information to me. Promptly answered all my questions over the message portal. When needed, Dr. Deng called me tp address my concerns rather than just sending me text back.

Trust her. She will do everything in patent's interest

Dr Deng was very professional and caring during my entire stressful ivf journey. She talked about all my options openly and carefully reviewed my surgical history. I ended up having a hysteroscopy done before my stimulation cycles and I’m now 20 weeks pregnant with my little baby girl. Feel so blessed and happy to have Dr Deng as my physician.

Trust your doctor and be patient

Dr. Deng is very knowledgeable in her career field. Her studies are very impressive and it shows when she speaks to you about your care. She is caring, compassionate and well spoken. She treated me and my lgbtq partner with respect and kindness. From our first visit she was eager to help us achieve our goal of starting a family. Her office was upfront about pricing, and did not have any hidden fees. Her office staff was welcoming and kind as well. When we had a positive test the whole staff was excited and congratulated us. Overall this clinic is top tier and provides well rounded care. If you or your family needs any fertility needs I would highly recommend Dr. Deng and her staff.

I would recommend Dr. Deng to keep up her kindness. Her respect and kindness makes the patients feel comfortable in their vulnerable times.

Dr. Deng ensured I did not have any blockages with my fallopian tubes prior to completing our first cycle of IUI. Once that was clear, we monitored my egg follicle size via ultrasound a fews days before expected ovulation. Once the follicle was mature, Dr. Deng told us to use our trigger shot and we were seen two days afterwards for the IUI. Dr. Deng was present and completed our IUI and was kind and answered any questions I had. She completed the IUI while explaining everything. Afterward her staff followed up with us and our care. The experience was exciting and she was very insightful and explained the protocol for each procedure. Dr.Deng comes from impressive studies and has a wealth of knowledge and it really shows in her practices.

Dr. Deng provided upfront pricing for our IUI. We had a copay for each appointment that was covered by insurance. Our IUI was $800 each cycle.

We used donor sperm and Dr. Deng had us drop off the sperm prior to our IUI appointment. She thawed the sperm and let us know of the amount of sperm we will be using in the IUI procedure.

I very much enjoyed working with Dr. Deng and she was very thoughtful in her approach. I felt like she really understood the situation and was actively assessing it every time I went in for a visit. She is very trustworthy and knowledgeable, and takes the time needed to explain everything thoroughly. What I liked best was it feels like a smaller practice and she and the staff knew me. I never felt rushed in my appointments, and most appointments were very on time. It was a great experience that I would highly recommend.

If you have tests or results already, bring everything as she is able to look over everything comprehensively.

I did 2 IUI cycles both with the same protocol, including same dosage letrozole and Ovidrel injectibles. I was told there was about a 10-15% of success each cycle. We had discussed the differences between letrozole and Clomid but decided letrozole was better to start, though I was offered Clomid the second round if I wanted to change things up. The 2nd cycle was successful.

I paid for some of the ultrasounds until it met my deductible. I also paid for the IUI cycles as those were not covered by insurance.

Nothing but pure gratitude that we ended up with Dr Deng. I read a lot of reviews and they were all just like this one. I now understand why and am very glad I took the time to research and choose her. She’s kind and compassionate. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and helped us stay confident the entire time. Her qualifications and experience were so impressive and it gave us a lot of peace of mind to know we were working with a tenured expert in the field.

If compassion and gentle care is important to you, and if you truly want to know that someone cares about your journey, go with Dr Deng. We are so grateful and will forever hold Dr Deng in our hearts!

We discussed all of our options and went with IVF to take the route of genetic testing our embryos due to my age being a risk for potential complications. We did a retrieval and were able to get 39 eggs! We were able to get so many because Dr Deng carefully monitored the follicular growth, tweaking the injection amount and length of injections before the retrieval. She truly cares about our success and did this even though it put the retrieval on a day that was not necessarily convenient (the weekend). After that we did a medicated transfer first which didn’t stick. She then suggested we try a natural cycle instead and that stuck but ended up being a chemical pregnancy. She then suggested we try switching it up and changing the gender - that worked and we’re now pregnant! I asked if there was much to the gender theory and she said not likely, but it never hurts to try something new. And she was right. :)

Through KindBody coverage from our work and our medical insurance, there were no costs outside of our deductibles.

We asked about transferring 2 after the chemical pregnancy as we were getting nervous I might have some fertility challenges after 2 failed attempts. She assured me the goal is to have one healthy baby at the end and that it’s safest to just do 1 because we have good high quality embryos. This is the transfer we got pregnant on so I’m SO glad we went with 1 or we might have 2 on board right now.

I have nothing but positives to say about Dr. Deng. You can really tell that she absolutely loves her job and works very hard to help improve patient outcome. We had a last minute decision to do genetic testing after our egg retrieval and Dr. Deng supported our decision and worked hard to ensure that it happened for us. We are so grateful for her dedication to this profession to helping her patients start a family.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions as Dr. Deng is very knowledgeable. Please be on time for your appointment, as I can tell that the staff feels bad when they were running 5 minutes late into my own appointment.

My husband and I has done Clomid for 3 cycles before decided that we want to start IVF with Dr. Deng. Since I had PCOS, on our 4th cycle of clomid, Dr. Deng began monitoring for follicle development and timed intercourse. While this was happening, we did bloodwork and semen analysis to better understand our fertility. It was discovered that in combination with my husbands low sperm count and my pcos, ICSI was probably the best course of action. Egg retrieval Protocol: We started with 150 units of Gonal-F for 3 days, 200 units for 2 days, 250 units for 4 days. We then added ganirelix and menopur. We did 3300 units of chorionic gonadotropin (Novarel) and 0.8 ml of Leuprolide. We ended up with 21 eggs retrieved, 19 fertilized, 5 successful embryos sent for genetic testing and 4 viable/ healthy embryos for freezing. We did a frozen embryo transfer with Endometrin 100 mg three times daily, estrogen 4 mg twice daily, and progesterone in oil 75 mg IM every other day. I also took doxycycline before the embryo transfer by on day 3 our 5 days taking it, i got very rashy and found that i might be allergic and discontinued. I was also taking chewable baby aspirin daily until i started having spotting, then stopped. The embryo transfer was successful! This resulted in our first pregnancy. I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and hope to carry baby to term.

Dr. Deng and Edyta always tried to help us communicate with out insurance first. Each time we visited the clinic, we were charged the expected co-pay amount. In total, along with egg retrieval, embryo freezing, the cost was between. $12,000 to $15,000 out of pocket cost.

We did a single embryo transfer because it felt safer to carry one baby at a time. We would have loved to have twins, but we also understood the risks of doing that.

Dr Deng is extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. She is a good listener and is very empathic. She took the time to listen to concerns and explain her answers in detail. She went through the options available for me based on my situation. Her advice is very professional and her positive attitude gives me hope. I am a healthcare professional myself and she is the most caring doctor I have ever met.

Ask all the questions you have in your mind

During the consultation, Dr Deng went over IVF treatments and the difference (pros and cons) between using medications vs natural menstrual cycle.

N/A

My husband and I were anxious the first time we met Dr. Deng after having tried for over a year. Our first impression of Dr. Deng was that she was a very knowledgeable person with excellent communication skills. Throughout our experience with Dr. Deng, we found her to always be patient and responsive. There were times when we messaged Dr. Deng late in the night or even on weekends and got a response back within hours. Her prompt response really helped address our concern and made us feel that we always had someone by our side in this important chapter of our lives. Our first attempt with IUI was a success and we can't thank Dr. Deng enough for helping us through this.

Our advice to a prospective patient would be to have trust and belief that Dr. Deng would do right by them.

Dr. Deng is very knowledgeable. She was able to adjust my injection dosage based on blood test and ultrasound to make sure all the eggs grow at the same speed and minimize the post-surgery discomforts. She is a good communicator. She always make sure I get the right dosage of injection and order the medicine from special pharmacy on time.

I have PCOS. So from early consultation, I was told that I have lots of eggs and could potentially develop hyperstimulation. During the process, one egg grows much faster than the rest. Dr. Deng adjusted the dosage of the injection so that the extra large one would not affect others. Dr.Deng also lowered the dosage of Menopur for me. I did not have hyperstimulation after egg retrieval.

A little bit over seven thousands

Dr. Deng is very knowledgeable and helpful. She carefully explained the IVF procedures and customized the medication according to our body condition. She is very experienced in this field and we felt that we can trust her

Provide all the details to Dr. Deng so she can make the right call for you.

Doctor has strong preference on single embryo transfer. She explained the chances of getting pregnant of single vs multiple embryo is the same. Multiple embryo may have more complications while pregnant.

She is very different than the previous fertility doctors we have seen. We switched clinic due to insurance change, and we were so glad that we found her. We never waited long for our appointments and always feel very comfortable talking with Dr. Deng.

Install the IMS patient care app ASAP and feel free to message Dr. Deng for questions.

Due to male infertility, we could only do IVF. After one round of egg retrieval and low fertility rate, we only got one embryo. She recommended doing another retrieval which I should have done, but I was tired of the process at that time and decided to go with the implantation. I should have preserved more eggs or embryos as she said, but we will do that afterwards.

Our insurance covered most of the costs. We've paid $450 for our initial visit in 2022 and we pay $30 co-pays for each visit. It's the same for 2023 as well.

Not applicable

Dr. Deng is very professional and attentive. I felt supported throughout the process. She always took time to explain treatment plans and answer my questions. More importantly, she pays much attention about the timing during IVF.

Just trust her. She's very professional.

I was prescribed Follistim and Menopur for ovarian stimulation, followed by an HCG trigger shot. The result of the 1st cycle is- 5 eggs retrieved, 3 matured and 1 embryo sucessfully passed the screening. For the 2nd cycle- 5 eggs retrieved, 5 matured and 1 sucessfully passed the PGT

for each cycle about $11000, for the transfer, it's about $3000, not including medication.

Dr. Deng recommended a single embryo transfer to minimize the risks associated with multiple pregnacies.
