Akas Jain

I would strongly recommend Dr Jain for anyone in the area suffering from infertility. He sets real expectations, treats you like a human being and does everything he can to achieve a positive outcome.

Trust that Dr Jain will take care of you and do everything that is possible to achieve a positive outcome. He is brutally honest and sometimes can "scare" you with all risks and possibilities, but he is the best.

I think I've used the antagonist protocol with Menopur, Gonal F and Cetroide. My trigger shot was with Lupron. Dr Jain wanted me in the maximum dosage of medication since I have DOR and I ended up having 10 eggs.

$1,700 - medications $11,000 - LAB and PGS (out of network) I am not sure about the in network portion (Dr visit, ultrasounds, bloodwrodk etc) because this was covered by my insurance

I wanted to transfer only one embryo and Dr Jain was aligned with that approach.

Dr Jain is a very busy guy. But he makes time to answer questions, talk to you on the phone and/or text you. He is very good at what he does. Although we have not had a baby yet, I feel like he will not give up.

Be patient but know that Dr Jain is great.

We did 3 IUIs with letrozole. We did an egg retrieval with Menopur and Follustim. We did this twice. Our first egg retrieval we PGS tested our embryos and had 2 chromosomally normal embryos. We transferred one successfully as a frozen 5 Day embryo but lost the heart beat for unknown reasons at 10 weeks. I had to have a d&c and then a second d&c 6 weeks later for retained fetal tissue. Due to only having 1 PGS normal embryo remaining, we finally had another egg retrieval using the same protocol. This was delayed several months due to lining not thick enough, fluid in my uterus, etc. Our 2nd retrieval we got 3 normal PGS embryos leaving us with 4 total. For my first (somewhat successsful FET) we used estradiol. My subsequent FETs, my lining wasn’t thick enough with estradiol. We did 2 FETs with Tamoxifen. Lining was decent but both chemical pregnancies. This last FET we used Letrozole. Awaiting my beta tomorrow!

$500 per IUI. About $18,000-$20,000 per IVF cycle, including the cost of meds. Plus some costs for routine appointments, d&cs etc. We have probably spent about $45,000 over the last year and a half.

I am 34. He will only transfer 1 embryo for me. Trust me, I’ve tried to get him to transfer 2

Dr. Jain has gone above and beyond for me. My story is long but shows just how much Dr. Jain cares about his patients. I unfortunately experienced a very scary time while in his care. We had done an IUI which was unsuccessful and we’re told to take a break while we completed more genetic testing. I was found to be a carrier of spinal muscular atrophy and we needed to have my husband tested. Fortunately he was not a carrier and we were told we could try another round on IUI (6th total, 2nd with Dr. Jain) after another cycle since I would be out of the country for my next cycle. Well during this time we found out I was pregnant (with my third pregnancy). Dr. Jain did not wait and did an ultrasound immediately and discovered it was an ectopic. He treated it aggressively per my request but my ectopic continued to grow. Dr. Jain checked in on me via texting almost daily (even when he was out of town spending time with his family). I ended up in the ER one night thinking my tube had ruptured. Dr. Jain stayed on the phone with me till 11pm and called the ER doctor on call to make sure he was following the best plan of care and was trying to find childcare so he could rush to the hospital if I needed him. I fortunately did not need surgery but Dr. Jain called me the next morning To check in. He is amazing and made me feel at ease during a very scary time. We’ve discussed my options and both feel that IVF is the safest option for me at this point. I know we have sometime to wait for financial reasons but I would not have anyone else on my team for the next part of our journey! I feel very lucky to be under his care.

Dr. Jain has a dry sense of humor and can be very blunt. I appreciate this in a doctor but can understand how it may come off to others. Dr. Jain May check his phone during an appointment with you but after being on the other side of things, as a patient who needed his immediate attention, I can respect that and know that he is listening and making sure ALL of his patients are taken care of.

Clovis and IUI- I responded very well to both. Although I have experienced miscarriages I specifically asked to continue with IUI for a few more cycles Methotrexate- to treat my ectopic pregnancy. I wanted to avoid surgery and the loss of my tube at all costs.

IUI- $500.00

Not sure yet- will learn more in the next few weeks.

Dr. Jain was pleasant during our initial consultation. He had kind things to say about our desire to have children and our ability to be good parents. As people in our 40s, we were not denied treatment, but we were met somewhat with doubt and a "try and see" kind of attitude without any real plan to discuss underlying causes or treatment optimization.

He is pleasant, however you may not be getting the full value of all the aspects that fertility treatment entails, including education of statistical outcomes, possible contributing underlying causes and treatment to resolve the issues, as well as understanding of the nature of the female body with regards to egg quality.

We requested IUI for financial reasons after learning about it from a friend who went through the same procedure. We were given the steps to take including Clomid prescription, hormone injections and notification of scheduled procedures for follicle testing and IUI. After the first failed procedure, we were given the option to start the process over again without skipping a beat, to which we agreed. There was no discussion about additional testing or further exploration for treatment optimization. The second attempt failed, and, yet again we were given the option to do a third, to which we declined.

Costs were reasonable and affordable for the specific treatment requested.

He has wonderful bedside manner and is so kind. However, sometimes I feel like he sugarcoats things a little too much in order to make me feel like things are going to work out. There are times when I wish he would just be blunt about my chances so I can set my expectations. He is always willing to answer all of my questions, but I sometimes feel bad keeping him because he seems so busy.

Ask questions. Do a lot of research and be prepared with a list of questions at each visit. He won't dig incredibly deep about certain situations (i.e. short cycles or endometriosis concerns) unless you ask him to.

IUI and timed intercourse cycles were done with Letrozole or Clomid and an HCG trigger shot. IVF was an antagonist protocol- birth control, Follistim, Menopur, Cetrotide, an HCG trigger shot, then progesterone in oil and Estrace leading up to a fresh transfer. My first attempt at a frozen transfer (it was cancelled due to lack of lining thickness) was done with Letrozole. The next frozen transfer he prescribed Tamoxifen to help build my lining, then an HCG trigger shot, progesterone in oil, and Estrace. I am currently in the two week wait after that FET. I have had all negative results up until now- no pregnancies. Tamoxifen did help to build my lining substantially.

IVF is $8000. ICSI is $1500. PGS testing is $4500. Embryo freezing is $1000. IUIs are $500.

Yes- because of my age and our unexplained infertility diagnosis, he strongly suggested transferring only one.

Dr. Jain was honest with me and presented information at a level that was appropriate for me. He was patient with my questions/concerns/preferences. I never felt rushed or like a bother. He was gentle with his exams and procedures. My husband was also confident and reassured by his knowledge and experience. We wouldn't hesitate to go back to him.

Wait times can be long, but his knowledge, compassion and expertise are worth it.

I had a few follistim plus IUI cycles while I was still breastfeeding. Every time I got great follicles, but never conceived. I had overstimulation with one combined follistim and clomid cycle, which I had to abandon due to risk for high order of multiples. I had a couple follistim plus Femara cycles where I again got good looking follicles but never conceived. Eventually I got pregnant in an off cycle as we were exploring the option of IVF. This is similar to the course I took in getting pregnant during an off cycle with my first child while I was seeing a different doctor in the same clinic. I had 7 failed treatment trials prior to each of my pregnancies.

I think IUI is around $500. My insurance covered my visits and ultrasounds. My meds were purchased from a pharmacy recommended by the clinic.

He is straight to the point about results and what to expect. He doesn’t sugar coat things but he is good at what he does. He will answer all questions openly and take time with you. He asks personal questions and wants to get to know you.

Do your research and be prepared with questions!

Antagonist freeze cycle for egg retrieval: PM injections: Gonal-f - 450 IU Menopur 75 IU OMNITROPE 8 IU AM injections: Centrotide 225 IU Trigger shot of Lupron 40 IU Prior to retrieval I only got 3 eggs from the retrieval which isn’t what I was hoping for. I do have low ovarian reserve and had 8 follicles going in to the retrieval. Still waiting on how many were fertilized

IUI: the IUI costs about $1,500 plus each monitoring appt was $300. IVF: insurance covered a lot of it but they charged $4,000 for PGT-A testing as insurance didn’t cover it.

He is very direct and never reviews my lan results with me. Most of the time he is only with me for 5 mins or so for a quick IUS - tells me to go to the nurses station and a brief review of next steps and that’s it. I always feel like he is rushing. I want to trust him because of his success but it’s difficult to feel lost in your own fertility journey

Have questions ready to go before your appointment and let him know that you have questions.

He initially started me on letrozole with a trigger shot with IUI. We are going into our 3rd IUI now with the assumption that we will begin discussing IVF shortly after if this IUI also fails

Affordable mostly because my insurance covers all IUI’s and most fertility care

Dr. Jain is a great communicator and is honest about treatment and success rates. He takes all the time with you at each visit that you would want. He’s up front, but also has a good sense of humor, which is important my husband and I. I wouldn’t want to see any other doctor!

Come in with your thoughts and plan. He will have his recommendations but he always takes what you want into consideration.

Dr. Jain wanted us to immediately move into IVF and he was very clear as to why (MFI). He did take my thoughts into consideration and we did 3 rounds of IUI first with clomid and HCG. He tested me and did ultrasound prior to each IUI to make sure that I was going to ovulate on the date of the IUI.

They accept my insurance, but normal is $500 for IUI and $14500 for IVF.

He does single transfer

Our experience with Dr. Jain has been positive so far. He is confident but not cocky. I have appreciated that he provides all options available, and only provides a firm opinion when asked or when he feels strongly about a particular course of treatment. He is considerate of the financial burden of fertility treatments and does not recommend services that exceed what is necessary. I do wish that he would explain things a bit more thoroughly initially. He is always willing to answer my questions when I have them, but it would be great to have a more detailed walkthrough from the beginning. After 2 failed IUIs (with 1 chemical pregnancy), we are about to begin an IVF cycle.

Ask direct questions if you are feeling in any way confused. If he's not available, ask the nurses or front desk. Also, be prepared to remind him of your history and treatment plan. I've had to correct him a couple of times because he started talking to me before looking at my chart. Once he referenced the chart, we were on the same page.

We came to Dr. Jain after nearly 18 months of trying for our 2nd child (after 1 successful pregnancy, bringing us our son), and following an ectopic pregancy/tube removal and 4 rounds of Clomid with my OBGYN. During our initial consultation, Dr. Jain was optimistic about our chances to conceive given that had been pregnant 3 times. He did not feel that IVF was immediately needed and that IUI would be an appropriate first step, as well as potentially adjusting which medication I should take. One question he asked during our consultation was "If this next child was your last child, would you be happy as a family of 4?" He said that if we only wanted 1 more child, he would not recommend IVF at this time from both a practicality and cost standpoint. Since we would like to have more than 1 more child, he let us know that we might want to consider IVF depending on how our response to IUI went, mostly due to the fact that by the tie we might get to baby #3, I would be over 35. I really appreciated this perspective, and felt that it prepared me for future conversations. We have since completed 2 IUI cycles - 1 on Clomid (no pregnancy), and 1 on Letrozole (chemical pregnancy). He recommended the switch to Letrozole due to concerns with my lining. We are now preparing for our first IVF cycle.

My insurance does not cover any fertility treatments, so these were the self-pay arrangements: Ultrasounds: $200 (recently increased to $250) Genetic testing: $99 per person IUI (including sperm washing and procedure): $500 IVF cycle (excluding medications and storage fees): $14500 IVF Medications (injections only): $5800

I have not yet had an embryo transfer, but am very much on board with eSET. I think it makes sense given the testing that is done prior, and is a safer option for all involved.

He is serious but compassionate. He had ideas on what could be done differently when other physicians said there was nothing else left to try. He listened to me and adjusted the treatment plan to fit my individual medical situation.

Feel free to ask questions. He may seem like he is in a rush but he will happily make time to address your concerns.

Egg retrieval cycle using lupron, clomid, menopur, gonal-f and an HCG trigger shot.

Without insurance it was about $14,000 for IVF. Then an additional $5,000 for meds.

He recommended biopsy and freezing of the embryos.

Dr Jain is an experienced doctor. He is personable and takes the time to know you and make sure the necessary procedures and tests are done to rule out any issues. Almost all appointments he was on time. He would make sure I was comfortable before and during any procedures to limit any discomfort or pain. You can tell he has a lot of experience and genuinely wants the best for his patients.

Dr Jain is honest and straightforward with his care.

Dr Jain evaluated each cycle and tried different doses of medications to produce more follicles and tried other types to improve the uterine lining.

I truly felt like dr Jain is a part of our team. He’s incredibly committed, always available and always sees me individually. I’ve never had an appointment with anyone else in over a year with several IUIs, miscarriage and IVF

He moves quickly and often times just says what he’s thinking. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or for him to clarify

IUI with letrazole, and trigger shot (5 times) once was cancelled because sperm wasn’t there, and we actually got pregnant that cycle at home! Another was cancelled for too many follicles. IVF cycle with gonalF, menopur, cetrotide and lupron. Transfer meds include progesterone, estradiol

IUIs were around 500 Hysteroscopy 1200 IVF, drugs, retrival, freezing, transfer and PGS $16000

He promotes PGS testing pretty strong, and says that with normal embryos he very rarely does more than a single embryo

He provided individualized compassionate and direct patient care. Always listened to us had good suggestions and felt confident he could make our dream come true. I saw him for every visit and we didnt have to wait long. He gave his cell phone number so that I could directly text him with questions. He was friendly and thourough while still being blunt enough to not give you false hope.

To warn them he is direct because some patients like sugar coating

We did several iui with letrozole follistim combination because. We then did an egg retrieval followed by fresh transfer which resulted in a miscarriage. 9months later we did a frozen cycle and resulted in a healthy baby girl

12k for ivf plus meds Embryo trAnsfer 3500k

Because of my age and history of miscarriage we did 2 embryos and he was ok with that

I felt like Dr. Jain knew what he was doing but did at times feel like a number and not a patient. He was friendly and easy going but didn't seem to connect with me on a deeper level which was hard when you are emotionally, physically and even financially being drained. It's hard to pay so much money and still not end up with your ultimate goal.

Ask questions if you have them st your appointment.

I tried femara several cycles with timed intercourse without success. I then added 3 IUI cycles without success and also Clomid.

$175 for ultrasound visits $400 IUI $90 trigger shot

N/A

After seeing another specialist, Dr Jain reviewed all my paperwork to have a good discussion regarding next steps with my husband and me. He’s always been kind, compassionate and has great bedside manner.

He may appear arrogant at times, but he really knows his stuff

First appointment was terrible. Did not explain what he was looking at during the initial transvaginal ultrasound. No education was provided and so I didn’t know how to handle my text results. He went on vacation without notifying me and I was supposed to start and IVF cycle. And then never called me back (not sure if it was poor nurse to physician communication).

Go in knowing that things may not be what you had planned and be ready to ask questions because they’re not going to take the time to explain it to you.

8,000.00 blanket price for IVF

Dr. Jain has always been honest and upfront with us. He answers ours questions directly/bluntly but also with compassion. He always makes me Feel at ease. I have issues with my cervix which makes IUI and other procedures more difficilt than normal. He always takes his time and makes sure I am Comfortable.

Come to your appt with specific questions I had a Million of them and he took the time to answer each one.

He is very good as far as explaining and knowledge. He does seem to be in a rush alot of times. His bedside manner is a little cold. Dr Jain is very straight forward and to the point. I really wouldn't change anything except maybe a little more compassion.

Just ask for a little of his patience

Follistim 225 menopur 75 for 10 days cetrotide the last few days and 5000 hcg for trigger

He was friendly and funny, but was distracted when we when in for the ultrasound, sending a text message without explanation or apology. He didn't acknowledge the discomfort of the procedure, but was very open with results, and reassuring of the findings.

Be prepared for a blunt experience, but he is friendly, open and honest. You won't feel like a number- he remembers his patients.

Clomid, timed intercourse, ultrasounds. Plan for IUI.

Each IUI cycle is $500 and IVF is approximately $19000.

He is very smart and goes above and beyond with each patient! He is very thorough reviewing your test results and retesting to ensure he has the best results. He is very straight forward and honest with your diagnosis. The honesty is much appreciated.

He is upfront and honest

I started with my hysterscopy and it want as bad as what I expected. I am now on birth control waiting to have my baseline appointment

Total cost with medication and lots of bells and whistles for the ivf.........$13,000

No comment. We are ejecting for single transfer

He took the time to review my charts from the previous doctor then developed a plan. We were involved and asked a lot of questions which he answered and was very honest - even if it was something I didn’t want to hear. He didn’t sugar coat anything

Ask a lot of questions- he will answer them honestly

We paid a lot out of pocket as we had exhausted insurance money

He's very thorough, wants everything to be perfect to get the best results. Will not cut corners or go forward with retrieval/ transfer unless he thinks everything is perfect. Truly cares about achieving the best results possible for his patients.

Ask questions

Used the highest dose for Stims that he could due to my diminished ovarian reserve.

17,000

The second I joined the call I knew something was off. He immediately started the call by saying he needed to help another patient and to give him a second. After that he asked me what process I was going to use which I thought I was going to do IUI, I had a a few questions and while I was trying to ask them he was typing on his computer and did not even hear me ask these questions. I felt completely ignored and It was truly a heartbreaking experience. He started reading me some stats on the likelihood of IUI working and why IVF would be better but gave me no context or conversation about these things. He was talking in absolutes and there was no time to really dive into what the differences are, what the processes are of each, or get any context information. Again we were doing all of this while he was typing to other people and he had to keep stopping to talk to other patient's and the whole appointment felt chaotic. Mind you this was my FIRST appointment with him. towards the end of the call we started talking about sperm donors, which I also did not know the process at this point and he essentially was ready to end the call and told me the next step was to pick my sperm donor and good luck. He said "if you are going to do the genetic testing make sure you don't pick one with the same abnormalities as you!" and at that point I started crying - which he did not even notice- and the call essentially ended. I later got a text that I would need to come in for blood work on day 3-5 on my period. Why was this not address on my call? Why was this not explained to me? Dr. Jain did not care about me, my family, or my future and I would never suggest anyone go see him for care.

Make sure to advocate for yourself and be HEARD when you are speaking

He gave me absolutely no information on what processes were or what outcomes I should expect.

Dr. Jain is a friendly bot, he seems nice although he hurts his patient's feelings by tossing some irrelevant and ignorant questions during the procedure, he does his job. But you're more likely to land on dealing with the empty feeling that you're just number for the clinic money.

If you don't know how to break the ice, just be quiet. Being awkward is better than being ignorant. However, you're great at being quiet when your nurse poured irrelevant questions during the procedure. Thanks!

There were only 6 times of IUI, not IVF. It was very simple each time and the head nurse who dealt with the schedule and medicine was very useful and informative.

Cost was not the matter.
