Ali Nasseri

Dr. Nasseri is an incredibly intelligent and talented doctor. He clearly knows what he is doing and has a plan, while at the same time was willing to answer to my concerns about said plan. I had both expected and unexpected issues occur throughout the IVF process, and I trusted Dr. Nasseri in his approach throughout the course of treatment. Dr. Nasseri isn't "warm and fuzzy" but I always felt a sense of humanity and caring energy from him. He would call me with important results and I really appreciated that, too.

Bring your questions and ask them- he tends to keep things straight to the point and not over explain things, BUT he is willing to answer questions and seems truly interested in explaining/sharing knowledge.

My partner and I came to Dr. Nasseri ready to start IVF after 5 failed cycles of letrozole/clomid + IUI . I am lucky to say I only had to do 1 retrieval and 1 embryo transfer. Started on birth control pill for 10 days, then for retrieval since my AFC was on the higher side I had a low dose (150 units) of folistim and 75 units of menopur for 13 days, then lupron and hcg trigger shot. Initially the plan was conventional IVF (no ICSI) because there was no male factor infertility detected however we had a total fertilization failure and consented to day 1 rescue ICSI, which yielded 18 fertilized embryos -> 4 blasts -> 3 euploid. This is much better than I ever expected given the need for rescue ICSI so I was satisfied. We did an embryo transfer as soon as we could- I did a natural transfer with progesterone suppositories. Success and graduated at 8 weeks pregnant.

Very efficient, wouldn't wait for more than 5 minutes typically, sometimes. a bit longer on weekends. It did feel rushed at times but that did not really bother me because I just wanted to get in and out, too. The appointments start at 7 AM and so it did not disrupt my work schedule. It was easy to request a time that worked best for me.

My insurance covered a portion of the cost, I spent about $15,000 out of pocket (1 egg retrieval, ICSI, PGT testing, medications, 1 embryo transfer, monitoring).

Dr. Nasseri's plan was eSET and I agreed as I have no interest in multiple embryo transfer and it didn't make sense for my case.

Dr. Nasseri is everything I would look for in a Reproductive Endocrinologist. He is thorough and has a good bedside manner. He is also very creative when it comes to finances and helping us to identify a treatment that will fit within the bounds of our budget. While we have done one surgery with him and are just in the midst of our first cycle with him, I feel comfortable saying that we will be with him until the end of our fertility journey, wherever that may take us.

Be sure to have a list a questions; while Dr. Nasseri is very attentive, I had to clarify several things in the beginning of this process. It was helpful to have that list in front of me.

I came to Dr. Nasseri with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and for trying for over a year at age 39. After a very comprehensive diagnostic work up, we discovered that I had uterine adhesions which required an operative hysteroscopy, to rule out that the adhesions were the cause of my miscarriages. Dr. Nasseri has made the recommendation that we go straight to IVF with PGS testing to identify the highest quality embroyos but for financial reasons we are not able to move forward with that treatment at the moment. Instead we are doing a medicated cycle with IUI.

Some things were covered by my insurance. Some not. I have not tallied up the money we have spent there yet as we are just beginning out treatment.

I have not gotten to that stage of the process but it is my understanding that Dr. Nasseri and his staff prefer single embryo transfer.

While I have not had to go through all of the procedures that my wife has had, I have had to undergo some testing and I felt like everyone was explained to me in a pretty clear manner. For my experience, I had to deal with the nursing staff much more closely than Dr. Nasseri.

For me, it would have been helpful to get a more detailed rundown of all of our fertility options in the beginning - everything from Clomid, to IUI, to IVF. I would have asked more questions upfront.

Personally, due to my wife's recurrent pregnancy loss, I had to have a full blood workup, genetic testing, karyotyping and semen analysis. At the end of the day, everything was "clear" on my end so aside from recurrent pregnancy loss, we are stuck in the grey area of "unexplained infertility". We are currently undergoing our first cycle with Clomid.

I'm unsure of the costs associated with our care. I do know that we currently cannot afford IVF at the moment. I believe that is estimated around $12000 before medication.

I'm not familiar with the doctor's approach to single vs. multiple transfers. We have not gotten this far in the process.

He was very straightforward with what my options were and the likelihood of success.

If you need someone who is extremely compassionate and heartwarming, I would not recommend Nasseri. He is in NO WAY cold, but he does tell you it straight

I am approaching 40 years old and we had 10 days of stims which had us start at 150 menapur and 150 Follistum and after 3 days, we increased to 300 units of menapur and 150 follistum.

The monitoring appointments were fantastic whether during the work week or weekends. I never had to wait more than five minutes to be seen and everyone was super efficient and kind.

Our IVF was covered but our second round of IVF was around $11,000 (excluding medicine)

Doctor was set on donor since I met him. He did not explain my workup results and was pushing donor. Would not try a cycle with my own eggs. I was seeing him for his analysis and he pushed it back on me.

Doctor does not give suggestions. Puts it all on the patient.

None-- left before cycling because I felt very uncomfortable with this doctor.

Covered all by insurance.

Have not had a transfer.

Dr, Nasseri was always very thorough and I felt he explained every detail of my treatment. His bedside manner is warm and comforting and I felt he really did care about his patients.

Have all your questions ready when you see him for an initial consult. he wil answer all questions and assuage all of your anxiety.

I used hormone injections for 3 egg retrievals and transfers. Two fresh and one frozen.

Thankfully, our insurance covered most of the costs.
