Dr. Miller has customized my treatment plan to work best for me...As disappointing as it was to have to wait my first transfer was successful, although ended in miscarriage the day I was supposed to graduate from the clinic. He showed sympathy for my loss and again is making sure everything is healthy with my womb as I begin my second FET...Don’t get discouraged by the wait time to get consultation with Dr. Miller. He is worth the wait.
This clinic [RMA of Michigan] is first come first serve for monitoring appts and is very busy. Be prepared to wait. Monitoring is only done Mon-Fri. They will monitor you more closely and on weekends if you are doing a retrieval cycle. It’s nice to be seen by a doctor for most appts, but if you get there at the later end of monitoring the doctors will be in the operating room for retrievals/hysterecopys/transfers...The nurses are very caring. It’s nice to be assigned a nurse so you are mostly communicating with the same person, although at times other nurses will call you. They always call you with results that same day which is nice.
How was your experience with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Dr. Miller has customized my treatment plan to work best for me. Went from a fresh transfer to freeze all to keep me from getting OHSS. Switched my trigger shot and put me on meds to further prevent OHSS. Made sure my lining (had polyp removed & biopsy resulted in diagnosis of Endometritis) was great and that my uterus microbiome was healthy before proceeding with transfer. As disappointing as it was to have to wait my first transfer was successful, although ended in miscarriage the day I was supposed to graduate from the clinic. He showed sympathy for my loss and again is making sure everything is healthy with my womb as I begin my second FET.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Don’t get discouraged by the wait time to get consultation with Dr. Miller. He is worth the wait.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Very busy office. Very caring staff. They do make mistakes on occasion. The start of my egg retrieval cycle I did not get a call back from my nurse stating to come into the office to get started. I showed up on my own and was assured that was the right thing to do.
Describe the protocols Brad Miller used in your cycles at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic) and their degree of success.
My protocol was changed to lessen the dose of injections during my egg retrieval as I was becoming over stimulated. He tracked my estrogen and progesterone carefully. Even if I wasn’t at risk for OHSS I still would not have been able to do a fresh transfer due to my naturally rising progesterone during the retrieval cycle as it would have lowered the chance of my endometrium being receptive to an embryo. I also developed a polyp while on stim meds and after the removal the results came back as chronic Endometritis. After putting me antibiotics and probiotics and before transferring, Dr. Miller ordered a test of cure biopsy to ensure my womb environment was perfect for my embryo.

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
Monitoring hours are from 6-8am Monday through Friday. Mondays can get pretty busy. Usually they move through everyone pretty quickly though
Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
RMA doesn’t take as many insurance plans as the original RE that I went to. I had to pay out of pocket for all of my IUIs because they didn’t accept my insurance. I was able to switch my insurance for IVF to have some coverage. I do feel like the costs associated with IVF are high but comparable to other clinics in the area.
Describe Brad Miller's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
I’ve never asked to transfer more then one embryo, although I believe he will transfer 2, especially if they are untested. I do know they transfer the best graded embryos first.
What specific things went wrong at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Lost appointments
Describe the specific things that went wrong at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
My retrieval cycle after I reported my cd1 I did not get a call back so I ended up showing up the next day and they fit me in and got me started that day. I will say my original nurse had moved so I think that was the mix up.
After my miscarriage when my period started I called again to report my CD1 but another nurse (not mine) did not set me up for baselines so when I went for my bloodwork I happened to ask and the med assistant told me it was just HCG, so I requested baselines and they again fit me in, but the nurses did forget to call me back for ultrasound and I had to ask the front desk twice where I was in line because I kept seeing everyone who came after me leaving.
He [Dr. Brad Miller] was very short with me, during a consultation that was scheduled for 1.5 hours, I was on the phone maybe 15 minutes. He was in & out of the room before and after IUI procedures with minimal discussion. He did not very good bedside manner...had lack of compassion, and was not very positive, immediately telling me that IUI didn’t really increase my chances. After many failed cycles, it was myself that suggested a higher dose of Clomid, and initiated changing the treatment plan because he did not make any suggestions.
The nurses and staff at RMA [of Michigan] were outstanding from day one. They are always pleasant on the phone, friendly when giving my trigger shot. They each showed kindness and compassion each visit and were very knowledgeable...very organized and see patients in a very efficient manner. My biggest complain is that when my partner had to produce a sample, he reported that the room was very cold and lab like with a urinal inside. It made it difficult for him to produce the needed sample and resulted in him producing the sample at home & bringing it back to the clinic.

You have to ask all of the questions I’d you want any answers. He doesn’t give more than you ask for.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
I absolutely loved RMA as a clinic. I loved Dr. Wheeler when I met her but was referred to Dr. Miller so that’s who I went with. He was very short with me, during a consultation that was scheduled for 1.5 hours, I was on the phone maybe 15 minutes. He was in & out of the room before and after IUI procedures with minimal discussion. He did not very good bedside manner.
Describe the protocols Brad Miller used in your cycles at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I did 50mg of Clomid, followed by 100mg and then 150mg of Clomid. Each paired with IUI. Femvue was completed to confirm that my tubes were open & healthy which they were.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
IUI was $750 per round, not including medication. This was due using 2 separate payments on the 2 IUI days.
Dr. Miller made sure to involve me in the ultrasound process, Turing the screen towards me and pointing out what we were looking at. I had tons of questions and he sat with me to make sure I was satisfied...When certain meds weren't achieving the results we wanted [he] adjusted accordingly and gave explanations...pregnancy to term has not happened yet with timed intercourse and one IUI we are hopeful that another IUI could do the trick
[RMA of Michigan] Strengths: Great reputation, practically no waiting time, clean and comforting atmosphere as far as Dr.s offices go. Friendly staff, accommodating if you need to bring another child with you. Comparable cost of procedures. Weaknesses: none...Nurse Kayla is wonderful to work with. She is always pleasant and doesn't give you a feeling that you're being rushed

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
My advice is to advocate for yourself. Like many clinics they have tons of patients waiting and the visit can move very quickly if you don't initiate personal questions and concerns during your visit.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Dr. Miller and my nurse were very attentive and answered all my questions and returned phone calls the same day if I needed anything at all. They even gave courtesy calls to remind me to begin taking certain drugs during the process. There was a tender and sympathetic care when there was disappointment and I felt genuine compassion.

Nurse Kayla is wonderful to work with. She is always pleasant and doesn't give you a feeling that you're being rushed. Kayla has been kind and sympathetic when handling each disappointment. I want to point out that we chose times pregnancy when the recommendation was IUI. Going forward we will be doing IUI and hope this is successful. Kayla has been supportive of every decision we've made and has not pressured.
Describe your experience with RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
Strengths: Great reputation, practically no waiting time, clean and comforting atmosphere as far as Dr.s offices go. Friendly staff, accommodating if you need to bring another child with you. Comparable cost of procedures.
Weaknesses: none
Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
Fertility treatments in general are not cheap. The cumulate cost of each round of treatments in a month's time which for me included 2 ultrasounds, two bloodndraws and trigger shot cost around 800.00. When we did our IUI the cost was around 1200.00.
Dr. Miller prefers to do eSET instead of multiple embryo transfer unless prior results indicate multiple embryo transfer will result in best outcome...[he] is compassionate and takes time to answer your questions. He sees his patients as humans when discussing options and frustrations, but also as a number/statistic when it comes to treatment options. I appreciated that he made adjustments to my protocol when necessary, but would have liked to pursue more diagnostic tests to explain our infertility rather than just doing trial and error with every treatment.
Morning monitoring [at RMA of Michigan] was quick despite the large volume of patients in the waiting room. I found the staff to be caring (even the med techs---loved them). I wish RMA made it easier to access your medical records. I had to fill out a form multiple times allowing them to release it to me and then it would take a week or more to receive my records..

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Advocate for what you want. Doctors will lump you into a statistic but you may be a "unicorn" (as they once described me) and you'll need to follow your gut and get the tests you want performed in order to sleep better at night.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
The minute we sad down with Dr. Miller for our initial consultation, we were immediately presented with numbers, facts, and statistics. I know this is common of REs, but I don't appreciate this approach because I felt I got lumped into a "you're still young enough" category and so particular approaches were taken based solely on my age instead of pursuing careful diagnostic tests before making clinical decisions. On the other hand, Dr. Miller was always warm and genuinely concerned about our success and disappointed when things didn't go as planned.
Describe the protocols Brad Miller used in your cycles at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic) and their degree of success.
Clomid + IUI for two cycles. No pregnancy.
275 Gonal + 2 or 3 Menopur for first IVF cycle. No follicles developed.
300 Gonal + 3 Menopur + ovidrel for trigger for IVF #2 and #3. 3 eggs on IVF#2, 17 eggs on IVF #3. No good quality embryos. Chemical pregnancies from transfers but no sustained pregnancy.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Jaclyn)
Jaclyn was the absolute best. She always followed up on every question I asked, every medication I needed ordered, every test I wanted to run, etc. without me ever needing to remind her. She was honest, compassionate, down-to-earth, and knowledgeable. Switching clinics was a really difficult decision for me because I wanted her to stay in charge of my care, but in the end I felt I needed to try another option.
Describe your experience with RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
RMA is really on top of things. Morning monitoring was quick despite the large volume of patients in the waiting room. I found the staff to be caring (even the med techs---loved them). I wish RMA made it easier to access your medical records. I had to fill out a form multiple times allowing them to release it to me and then it would take a week or more to receive my records. I wanted to track all of my blood results to stay on top of my treatments but that wasn't easy to do since many of my results came in a phone call as I was driving home so I couldn't write everything down right away. An online system like many other health systems have would be helpful.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
I appreciated the early morning monitoring hours at this clinic. I was able to have blood draws and ultrasounds and still make it to work on time. I found RMA to be efficient in the morning considering the high volume of patients in the waiting room.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).

What specific things went wrong at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Failed to order appropriate test
Describe the specific things that went wrong at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
I feel strongly that more tests should have been run to try to figure out why my husband and I had undiagnosed infertility. The assumption was that my eggs were poor quality so the next suggestion was to move to egg donation, but upon second opinion from another clinic, a sperm DNA fragmentation test was run with abnormally high fragmentation rates suggesting egg donation with my partner's sperm might have been another expensive, heartbreaking failure.

With both rounds and medications we have spent around $30,000 with no insurance coverage.
He [Dr. Miller] is very kind and compassionate. There are so many people that he treats in a day but he always makes you feel like you’re the only one.

He is very kind and you can really tell he loves helping people expand their family.
I think this clinic [RMA of Michigan] runs like a well-oiled machine. Every day is the same and you know exactly what to expect.

Each round of IUI (they typically do 2 days in a row) is $500 (so $1,000 total for the month) and then they bill insurance. We had a bit of an extra expense on top of the $500. So it depends on your insurance how much above and beyond they $500 you have to pay.

We were given the option of clomid (being a lesbian, we didn’t have infertility issues) and we took them up on it to increase our chances. They preform an IUI two days in a row to help increase your chances as well.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Kelly)
The nursing staff, as a whole, was great! You may see a nurse that isn’t your own on any given day and they are always so compassionate and caring.

We’re fairly new into this whole process, and when we came to see Dr. Miller, we knew we wanted to try IUI first. ... He’s been honest and personable. ... He explained our previous test results, why we would be good candidates and how we proceed. ... When the third IUI didn’t work, he again went over all our results and still laid out a few options for us, but when we asked for his honest opinion on our next step, he said IVF. So, we’re just starting that now, but feel confident in the steps we need to take and Dr. Miller’s guidance along the way.
Everyone [RMA] is so welcoming and personable. Even though the visits can be numerous, I never feel like just a number. They have early morning hours for blood work and ultrasounds, so I can head there before work and not have it feel so disruptive to my day. Overall, it’s just a really wonderful place to be, especially if you’re going through the challenges of this whole process.
How was your experience with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Dr. Miller was a warm welcomed difference from the previous Dr we saw at another clinic. He’s been honest and personable. He told us stories about he and his wife’s difficulties with pregnancy and based on that, you could really tell he understands what we’re going through. He always takes time to explain our results and my husband actually feels comfortable around him too (which is saying a lot when you’re discussing fertility challenges). Overall I just really like and trust him!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Stick with it! As Dr. Miller says, the only way this won’t work is if you give up.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Dr. Miller took time to break down all the factors surrounding our individual numbers and that helped make it much more digestible.

Describe your experience with RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
We (yes, both my husband and I) LOVE RMA! We had a very unpleasant experience at another clinic not too far away and when we came here, it felt like the exact place we should be!

Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
Our insurance covered most of it (so far), but I know it was less than another clinic we went to because RMA is a “Center of Excellence” and this other place wasn’t.
Dr. Miller and the staff at RMA are wonderful. They always make us feel welcome and supported, and treated us with kindness and dignity when we suffered a loss. His biggest concern is not his statistics, but helping us grow our family.... Dr. Miller has always been honest and upfront about our chances. He is supportive without sugar coating. He gives us all the time and information we need to make our decisions, and allows us to ask all questions needed without feeling rushed. Exams are thorough but respectful.
It is a clean, contemporary, organized clinic [RMA of MI] with up to date technology. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly, and well trained. Everyone knows the part they play and works well together. We never had a nurse perform a procedure (unlike at a previous clinic). Our only slight disappointment is the male sample collection room. It could be updated and a bit more comfortable.... An IVF cycle with ICSII was approximately $13,000 with meds.

Describe the protocols Brad Miller used in your cycles at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic) and their degree of success.
Our first IVF cycle involved estrogen, Progesterone, Ovidrel, Gonal, and Menopur. We used ICSII as well. We had 2 embryos but neither took. Our second cycle involved adjusting meds based on previous failure, and we were able to successfully get pregnant, but lost the baby at 9 weeks. We are currently undergoing a course of IUI with Gonal and Ovidrel, plus Bromocriptine. He also is adjusting thyroid meds to aid in reproduction.

It was always scheduled in the morning on a first come, first served basis. However, there were multiple staff members working and it flowed quickly for the number of patients in the clinic.

An IVF cycle with ICSII was approximately $13,000 with meds. Our IUI cycle was about $1100 plus meds. They provided options for payment assistance, as well as identifying the best pharmacy based on insurance. They also worked with our insurance regarding any co-pay or referral issues.
Describe Brad Miller's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
We did multiple (two) embryo transfers with each cycle. He left the decision up to us, but gave us all the information needed to make the choice.
Dr. Miller was/is extremely personable, kind, caring and thorough. From my very first appointment, I knew I was making the right choice. He gave me all the facts and information I needed and then some. He also gave me recommendations for the best treatment and answered all of my questions.... Even though I saw hundreds of patients filtering in and out of the clinic on a daily basis, I felt like I was the only one. Everyone made my experience very special.
Nicole [a nurse] and all of the staff at RMA are compassionate, caring and extremely knowledgeable. My phone calls were always answered in a timely manner and my questions were always answered thoroughly... he staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and timely. I remember when I went for my first blood draw and ultrasound, I walked in and saw the waiting room completely packed with patients. I panicked because I had to get to work and thought I would be waiting forever. That was not the case at all. They were so fast, all the while being extremely friendly and personable. And it was like that every visit. I cried on my last visit because I felt like I was leaving a family. I had an incredible experience and can’t think of one weakness.

The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and timely. I remember when I went for my first blood draw and ultrasound, I walked in and saw the waiting room completely packed with patients. I panicked because I had to get to work and thought I would be waiting forever. That was not the case at all. They were so fast, all the while being extremely friendly and personable. And it was like that every visit. I cried on my last visit because I felt like I was leaving a family. I had an incredible experience and can’t think of one weakness.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
Monitoring is done in the morning and is very efficient. It made it easy for me to go have my monitoring done and still make it to work on time.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
I believe the total estimated cost was $20,000 plus an additional $2,000 for the genetic testing.
Describe Brad Miller's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
Dr. Miller recommended transferring one embryo since we did the genetic testing. We knew we had 2 normal embryos and 1 abnormal embryo. Because of this, Dr. Miller suggested the transfer of one at a time since the odds of getting pregnant increase once you know you have a normal embryo, and carrying multiples is risky and potentially dangerous to both mother and babies.
It's difficult because we were diagnosed unexplained [by Dr. Brad Miller], and without having a lot of answers everything just felt like throwing things at a wall to see what would stick. I didn't feel that we were important or that there was much effort into why we were unexplained, just told that IVF will give us more answers, but after our first failed IVF...there were no answers, just try again with the same regimen...He was kind and compassionate during our one on one consultations. He was was very patient and let you ask as many questions as you needed without feeling rushed. But during the actual treatments, specifically the embryo transfers, he was very candid about what he thought, and not in a good way, not exactly what you want to hear going into an embryo transfer, but if you like someone to tell you straight, he's your guy.
Front desk staff & nurses [at RMA of Michigan] are amazing. Although I was assigned to Dr. Miller, I often saw Dr. Wolf, she was very optimistic an understanding. The financial people could use a good course in being kind and compassionate...I was assigned 3 nurses during my time at RMA and I only had issues with one, 99% of the staff was kind, compassionate, understanding and just awesome. They really do have a good team...

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
He puts a lot of emphasis on young women being successful with fertility treatments, therefore if you are over 35 I would suggest someone else. He told me at 36 if I would have started trying 10 years ago we wouldn't be sitting here today...although I agreed with him, it was not helpful, at the time it just felt cruel.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
[With Dr. Brad Miller] First it was to bring on a period as I do not have them on my own. The first 4 cycles were Clomid from 50-100mg daily for 5 days then low dose hcg and gonal f for a few days to mature follicles then ovadrel for trigger & timed intercourse. This last round was letrozole for 5 days then high dose hcg for trigger (no need for extra time to mature follicles) & timed intercourse to try for the positive.
Beautiful clinic [RMA of MI-Troy], clean well lit, coffee maker in lobby to help yourself. Everyone is very helpful and never makes you feel down about yourself. No bad attitudes, no one being rude and you feel like a person & that everyone cares. Not just a number & someone paying their paycheck....They assign you 1 nurse while there, that way you only have 1 name to remember and 2 person that knows you and what you are going through or have been through. It's so very nice to know that you are talking to the same person every time and not someone you have to explain your story to each time you call.
How was your experience with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
When I first met Dr. Miller I was nervous as I was given the news I wouldn't ever be able to have a baby years prior. He was very comforting yet bluntly honest. He went over everything with me from the PCOS I have to the insulin I was put on for the diabetes. He told me every step we would take and not only answered all my questions but my mom's who was there at the consultation with me. He is very good at his job and can't wait to celebrate my positive with him.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?

He's kind & compassionate doesn't hide the information from you, he's honest and knowledgeable.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
About $400 per cycle but some was covered by my insurance. Even with a high deductible they billed the insurance first then I paid the remainder
Since we have unexplained infertility, and possible male factor infertility, he [Dr. Brad Miller] suggested starting with the IUI’s. He broke down the cycle for us-days of oral medications, days that I would need to be in the office for blood work and ultrasounds and when my husband needed to be there for his sample. The IUI’s were something we could try before diving in to the world that is IVF. After 3 failed IUI’s, we discussed IVF and we’re going to move forward with it but the expense held us back, for now.
Nicole [a nurse at RMA of MI] really went above and beyond! Always available for questions or concerns and was always very prompt while we were in the office and while returning calls/emails... The staff were all kind, welcoming and knew what they were doing. It ran like a well oiled machine! The clinic is warm, inviting and comfortable, not like I’d expect a fertility clinic to feel like. It does get a bit busy in the morning with the lab appointments but they move everyone through pretty quickly
How was your experience with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
He was super informative and thorough at our first consultation and every appointment after that. He was straight forward and to the point but had great compassion and bedside manner. He really was invested in helping us achieve our dream of becoming parents.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
I don’t know the cost because insurance covered most of the IUI costs. After it was all said and done, I think we paid $600 for all 3 IUI’s total. That doesn’t include medication costs. The ovidrel shot is $99 through RMA
Dr. Miller was very thorough, explained things in terms I could understand, and took the time to answer all of my questions. He was compassionate when I miscarried. He is also up-to-date and recommended the ERA Test after I had a failed frozen transfer and a transfer ending in miscarriage. The results of that test showed I was pre-receptive. After adjusting treatment for that, I became pregnant and am now 23 weeks.
The clinic [RMA of Michigan] has early morning monitoring appointments so I did not have to miss very much work for appointments. The wait times were reasonable and I saw a doctor at nearly every appointment. The staff was friendly and helpful when it came to explaining financial obligations and treatment protocols.... The nurses were in constant communication and were very compassionate and understanding.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
Dr. Miller met with me at nearly every appointment and made sure to ask how I was doing. He never seemed like he was in a rush and took the time to answer all of my questions.
Describe the protocols Brad Miller used in your cycles at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I don't remember the protocol for my fresh cycle, but it was more aggressive than the protocol my former doctor used, and resulted in 44 eggs, 30-some of which were fertilized, one was transferred at day 3 resulting in a live birth. I think 14 5-day embryos were frozen. Dr. Miller decided to transfer only one embryo on day 3 to reduce the chance of OHSS. He also gave me other medications and instruction to try to prevent OHSS, which was successful.
I then had an elective single embryo FET, which resulted in a miscarriage. Since I also had a miscarriage and a failed transfer with my former doctor, I asked about PGS. Dr. Miller agreed that PGS was a good idea so we had our embryos tested. Almost all of them came back normally.
After that, I had another FET and transferred one PGS tested normal embryo. It resulted in a negative.
Dr. Miller then recommended I have an ERA biopsy done to make sure my lining was receptive at the time they had been transferring embryos. Since my two fresh transfers resulted in live births and all four of my FETs had resulted in miscarriage or failed, Dr. Miller thought the timing may have been off for transferring the embryo. The ERA test came back as pre-receptive. After changing my protocol in response, another FET was done resulting in a healthy pregnancy (so far!)

Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
The costs seemed to be reasonable in comparison to other clinics.
Dr. Miller is very kind down to earth man. At my office visits he was usually quick to get in and out. Which I was OK with. For what I was doing we had to be at the office VERY early in the morning, and there was usually many many patients there also. He needed to get us all in before the regular clinic opened. He was always very professional about it, and I never felt rushed. I knew he had other patients to tend to, and honestly I needed to get back home to get children up and ready for school.
The clinic [RMA of MI] is run very well. All the staff seem to have good knowledge of how everything is run. I never ran into any issues. I sat down with someone about the financial aspect of it, and understood what was expected of me financially. During your cycles you show up to the office at like 6am before they open for regular business hours, to do blood work and ultrasounds and IUI's, etc. I did not enjoy getting to the doctor at that hour, but I understand why they do it.

Describe the protocols Brad Miller used in your cycles at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I was doing sperm donor IUI's. He wanted to start me off on Clomid my first cycle and do 2 insemination's. Knowing that I ovulate just fine on my own I disagreed with that and wanted no medication and only 1 insemination. Well that didn't work. So next round I listened to him. He explained that the clomid will help me ovulate possibly more eggs, but it would be unlikely that I would conceive multiples. Well he was right, the next cycle I had 2 eggs ready to go. I did the 2 insemination's like he wanted and I ended up pregnant.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
All the nursing staff, and medical assistants were very kind and helpful. They always made sure I had what I needed. I was ALWAYS calling my nurse. Poor thing. I swear she heard from me probably every day. Any time I called the office or my nurse, someone would always promptly call me back.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
I had to pay for the thawing of the sperm and the insemination's, which was about $1000/per cycle. My insurance covered the rest of my office visits, blood work, and ultrasounds.
I think Dr. Miller was great. He was honest and compassionate. Even though they see a lot of patients and he was very efficient, I still felt like he knew us. We felt that we knew the odds well and that he recommended the best treatment plan for us, not just what would make them the most money....

Describe the protocols Brad Miller used in your cycles at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic) and their degree of success.
We started with IUI and did 3 cycles. I had already tried clomid through my OB at least 2 times and it didn't work, so we decided to skip it. We have unexplained infertility; although, my husbands morphology was low on one of the tests, I believe the second one was normal. We decided that 3 was enough because your chances of getting pregnant with 4 or more sessions goes down a lot. We then did IVF including testing, so it had to be a frozen cycle. He also did ICSI especially since the number of eggs I had was pretty small. Because we had the testing results, we knew that 2 of the 3 embryos that made it were good, we only decided to transfer 1 and that resulted in my beautiful baby boy. We have 1 good embryo frozen with him.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Lisa)
All of the nurses I saw were good, but Lisa was the primary and we loved her. I often had follow-up questions, not because of her, but just because of all of the info and she was so good about getting back to me. The other nursing staff was great. I had a couple of scares with bleeding after the transfer and the nurses that responses to my after hours line messages were very compassionate and helpful.

This is hard for me because insurance paid 80% (my new insurance does not), so it is hard for to estimate the exact costs as well as the genetic screening that we paid for.
Describe Brad Miller's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
Not really. We decided to just do one because of the chromosome testing. His preference is NOT to do multiples because of the risk.
He [Dr. Miller] seemed rushed, never explained reasoning for course of treatment. Never answered my questions for spotting prior to period every month...Dr. Miller was never concerned with my husbands semen analysis....I had mentioned his low morph too Dr. Miller more than once and he brushed it off. our first IUI Dr. Miller told us they usually dont do IUIs with 5 million or less after wash. However, I had 2 IUIs with less than that. When I asked I was told it was fine.
Strength, they [RMA of MI] are prompt with returning phone calls. Weakness, it's very much like a production line there...My nurse was very good at communicating with me but I had to ask the questions and ask about reasoning behind descions...CD3 blood work was $600 each ultrasound was $365, progesterone test (7dpo test) $100, beta another 100. IUI with wash $350. Each IUI costs us about $2,000...When I had my chemical pregnancy they had me sit in the waiting room for an hour and a half.
How was your experience with Brad Miller at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic)?
He seemed rushed, never explained reasoning for course of treatment. Never answered my questions for spotting prior to period every month. Told us we only had a 5% chance of conceiving naturally but he never offered an explanation as to why. He never even said the word infertile to me. I still have no answers as to why we are struggling.

Never explored in more depth or seem interested in my husbands seman analysis.

Dr. Miller was never concerned with my husbands semen analysis. However, when we had Dr. Wolfe do our IUIs she asked us if my husband was taking anything for mfi. I had mentioned his low morph too Dr. Miller more than once and he brushed it off. our first IUI Dr. Miller told us they usually dont do IUIs with 5 million or less after wash. However, I had 2 IUIs with less than that. When I asked I was told it was fine.
He spent a lot of time in his office going over things with me and answering all questions till I left confident I new what was going on and how things worked. He was personable and relateable. Fabulous bed side manor!... I felt completely comfortable with Dr Miller. He was always kind, warm and explained everything. Very professional and personable! I only wish that I have been told that Laparoscopy would have greatly increased my chances of success.
They [RMA of Michigan] are great and friendly I would recommend them to anyone. They treat you like they would treat their own loved ones that are struggling. They try to provide you with finance options and are so helpful.... They moved quickly and it was morning open appointment I think. I was never left to wait for long periods of time and was always able to make it in and out before work.... $8000 for the basic IVF then there where the medication cost.

Describe the protocols Brad Miller used in your cycles at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I was started on synthroid because my thyroid was not where they would like it for fertility. I was also started on estrogen. I was on Follistim, Menopur and after a couple days on them my follicals were not reacting as well as they should have and the doses were bumped up. I was giving Ovidrel as my trigger shot and it was suggested if we did another round that we add Lupron since my follicals did not respond as quickly as the should have.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
They were all very kind! I could call and someone would get back with me quickly if they were not available at the time of the call. They were great about calling me about my blood work and were very apologetic when they had to give me the dreaded call that it did not work. They were very compassionate!
Describe your experience with RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
They are great and friendly I would recommend them to anyone. They treat you like they would treat their own loved ones that are struggling.

Describe Brad Miller's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Michigan (Innovation Network clinic).
He was great and allowed me to transfer two. Though none of my embryo's were of great quality. My husband sperm had been test as was found to be good but we were told it was just a bad batch it happens.
[Dr. Miller] Explained how the reasoning behind why the hormones need to be a certain level and the hormonal cycle ... I have low AMH, unexplained, and was not diagnosed with DOR or anything else, simply unexplained infertility. However, despite the low AMH, nothing was changed from the standard procedure for IUI or covering the IVF protocols. I was only advised to take prenatal vitamins and then start the IUI drug regimen.
The clinic [IVF MI] opens officially at 6:30am; however it's doors are open for waiting room at 6:15am. I arrived at 5:55am and there was already a line of 8 ahead of me. By 6:15, the number of waiting had grown to 20. By 6:30 official opening time it was well over 30 in line. ... This was one of the best blood draws I've ever had - did not even feel the needle despite the fact that 5 tubes were needed and she had to jiggle the needle.

I felt like dr Miller always treated me like a human with feelings and made sure I understood what was going on in plain terms ... Dr Miller is very blunt and is very knowledgeable with Infertility. ... Dr Miller is very firm on single transfer. Which I wasn’t too happy about . Im looking to transfer my last two embryos at one time and I think it will be a bit of a battle getting him to do so.
Strengths are they [RMA of Michigan] know what they are doing and are really good at what they do. A down fall would be they have a lot of patients so it takes some time in the morning or monitoring. Make sure to keep records of all your billing because that can be an issue and you get billed for things multiple times. I always got everything like quotes in writing.

Dr. Miller actully cared about me. We are Male factor and waiting for a microtese.

He has not pushed a donor on us but has given us facts...My protocol was changed. This time I did an estrogen priming and then gonal f menopur and cetrotide. They also did 2 trigger shots instead of 1. The results worked well and we got 15 usable eggs

Dr.Miller was always very compassionate while talking to my husband and I as we underwent our first round of IVF. He answered all of our questions and never made us feel as though we were asking ‘dumb’ questions. When we lost all of our embryos, he was genuine in his opinion of whether or not to do a second round and was nice enough to back us into a multi cycle plan to save us on some of the costs for our upcoming second round. I would definitely recommend Dr. Miller to anyone needed a RE.
Everyone at RMA was nice and helpful. They run on time and don’t leave you waiting forever to see the doctor, have blood drawn or for any testing. Be ready to wake up early, blood draws start at 6:30am!... [Cost Of Treatment] Cycle:10,710 Medication: 3,500 Blood work/Ultrasounds (not covered by ins): $2,000... Leslie was awesome. She was at almost every appointment I had and always was positive, upbeat and full of information.

He’s compassionate, he’s been through ivf as a patient and it shows. He [Dr. Miller] considers your opinions and ideas and always makes sure you understand what’s happening.

We really wanted more embryos and explained that and he was fine with us transferring 3
I felt like he [Dr. Miller] could have done more for me because I had so many miscarriages. He didn’t take me being allergic to progesterone seriously. Also said we could transfer two but only let us do one. I felt I should have had immune protocol but he refused and told me there was nothing we could do when I know that’s not the case... Just felt inbetween. Like he had no compassion for the many losses... Make sure you get everything in writing
Nurses are their [RMA of Michigan] strengths. So is nurse communication. Doctor communication not so much. Nurses have more compassion and doctors don’t listen to your problems or play them down. My miscarriage pain was played off like it was no big deal and I wasn’t given anything for the pain. I felt like he basically told me to “suck it up”... She [nurse] was amazing. I’m sad to say she retired and I haven’t decided if I am going back to this clinic because she isn’t there anymore
