Angeline Beltsos

She is warm and caring. New us by our names and remembered us. She would sometimes call us from her personal cell phone to check in on us. She is kind and will not give up, you just have to stay the course.

Be ready to be a self advocate.

My husband and I are lucky because we both have fantastic insurance but even with insurance paying 90% it adds up. We spent total of $7,500 for meds, freezing and 10 % of procedures.

She was a great doc. With her, I got nearly twice as many eggs at retrieval compared to my prior doctor. Very informed. Very kind. Up to date. Not sure if a lot could be changed about our embryo outcome though ...

See her before any other docs

Androgen priming. Poor responders protocol. Growth hormone. 750 follistim for 3 days, then weaning of follistim and adding Menopur.

Single because we don’t have many embryos

She seemed very knowledgeable. We tried many different approaches until one worked. She is very friendly and has a good bedside manor. As a woman, I felt very comfortable with her. I liked her enough that I followed her when she left to start her own practice.

Come prepared with questions! Sometimes it was hard to get a hold of someone later on if I forgot to ask something in the moment.

About $12,000 for an IVF cycle not including medication.

No comment really. I had unexplained infertility and her recommendation was to transfer two embryos for our best chance of success.

Got a successful outcome so we are grateful for that but the experience overall wasn’t positive. Too big of a practice to provide the care that should be taken in situations like this. Confusing instructions, lack of information on what to expect and what would come next.

Know you will be treated as a number and expected to give endless hrs to managing the logistics of your treatment.

Dr. Beltsos has a wonderful bed side manner and was willing to look into some concerns I had that my previous clinic would not. Because she was flexible with treatment I was able to be treated for those issues and finally have a successful cycle.

Cattle call.

Dr Beltsos is the best of the best. She’s knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and just an all around lovely person. She called me when one of my transfers worked screaming with excitement and she called me when a sibling transfer miscarried, genuinely upset with the result and sorry that it was happening. She has always made time for me and always makes an effort to do my procedures (egg retrievals, transfers, hysteroscopies, etc.) she goes above and beyond and I feel lucky to be under her care. When I needed a HSG and didn’t get a response from my OB within 24 hours, she personally made calls to my OB and other OBs to get me on their schedule. My first two retrievals we ended up with 2 PGT normal embryos per retrieval and on the 3rd, she got us 7 PGT normal embryos. She adjusted meds where needed and it paid off big time. Everywhere I go, I hear stories similar to mine when it comes to Dr Beltsos!

Trust her.

Only out of pocket costs after hitting OOPM were for extras like PGT testing, acupuncture, HCG wash, etc. No surprises with costs.

She was very thorough about everything. Very caring. We hit the ground running right away. She really does want to see everyone succeed. No one wants to have to see a fertility doctor, but I’m glad I got dr beltsos

N/a

For the first cycle with her we did medicated iui with clomid, follistim injections and trigger shot. That failed. For the second cycle we just did clomid, trigger, and time intercourse. That failed as well. For the next cycle she switched me to femara, trigg t and TI because clomid seemed to be thinning my lining. That worked.

Overall, Dr. Beltsos has been kind and considerate during my process so far, I would have like to see her more. But, I understand she had emergency during my egg retrieval. Her staff has been amazing with me and answering my questions.

Be patient and understanding

I don't remember the exact dosages. Dr. Beltsos prescribed follistism and other medications.

Don't have total amount, I'm still going through the process.

I have no advice, they were only able to retrieve 2 eggs which 1 was able to be fertilized.
