Brett Davenport

Dr. Davenport has always been honest with me about what's going on. We came up with a IUI game plan together and we discussed each step. Like I mentioned before, he is always checking to see how I'm feeling. After my chemical pregnancy, I found out the next month we were pregnant. At 6 weeks, we found out we were losing the baby so we had a D&C scheduled. What turned into a routine procedure turned bad within hours. Dr. D was rushed back to the hospital because I had an unknown ectopic pregnancy that had ruptured my right Fallopian tube. Dr. D communicated as best he could to me but I will forever appreciate the way he communicated with my husband, as he watched me coming in and out of consciousness. The way other doctor's talked to him or me was completely different on a whole different emotional level.

Don't be afraid to tell him how you are truly feeling about anything related to a procedure, blood work, etc. He will stop and listen to every concern or doubt you have.

My first IUI Dr. Davenport only used Clomid. I came in 2-3 times for blood work and ultrasounds to check progression. This was a negative pregnancy test. The second IUi, we continued the Clomid but we added in the trigger shot. I think I took the shot 36 hours before the IUI. *don't remember* This IUI resulted in a chemical pregnancy. We are in our third IUI cycle now and just finished my last 100 mg (I think) of Clomid yesterday. I will find out Friday if a trigger shot or anything else is needed.

I know my appointments are about a $35 copay but the IUI procedures are not covered by my current insurance. I think it cost $200-$300 each IUI. Dr. Davenport's office is really good about working with you for payment plans.

We have gone through the IVF consult but I never asked about multiple embryo transfer. I don't think I'm in need to transfer more than 1 embryo and I would personally like to stick with 1.

Communication could be better but is willing to answer all questions. He is very compassionate, but can be a little more hopeful than realistic, getting your hopes up with his positivity. It’s comforting, but can set you up to be let down.

Ask all the questions, take his positivity with a grain of salt. Be cautiously hopeful/manage expectations. This all depends on your diagnosis too of course!

I have DOR and used a standard antagonist protocol for my IVF cycle. I seemed to respond well, but less than half of the number of follicles produced eggs and only one of them was quality.

Costs seem to be in line with the average in the state of AL.

My Dr prefers eSET

Dr. Davenport is a very patient, intelligent and compassionate doctor. From the moment my husband and I met him, we both felt at ease and like he was the doctor we were supposed to see. I appreciated his concern for my health, getting to the root of the infertility issues we were experiencing and educating us on the process of IVF, why it would be our route for conceiving and assured us that he and his staff would be with us every step of the way.

Don't be nervous, don't be afraid to ask whatever question comes to your mind no matter how silly it may sound.

In my treatment thus far, Dr. Davenport started with the saline ultrasound to get a good look at my uterus and what he could see of my tubes. He suspected tubal damage and possible fibriods and recommended the laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures to determine what was going on. He told me that the procedure could result in having my tubes removed as he suspected hydrosalpinx. After these procedures he spoke with me and my husband about IVF as our next route. We have not begun IVF yet, we are scheduled to begin in October.

I do not recall the cost of the laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures as they were 100% covered by my insurance. The IVF will be roughly $18,000-22,000, including up to 3 cycles and medication. My insurance does not cover this and we are having to get a loan for the total cost.

Dr. Davenport has shared with us that he recommends only transferring one embryo vs. multiple because of the risks involved. He, however, said he would transfer multiple if we requested.

Dr. Davenport is very knowledgeable and while he can appear to be socially shy, he has worked on that in the past few years. He will ask how you are doing before jumping right into the exam or procedure for the day. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and getting the results his patients want.

Meet him. Have a consultation. He will show you how knowledgeable and caring he is.

The first time with Dr. Davenport, we did Clomid with timed intercourse for 6 months and then moved up to Clomid, an Ovidrel shot, and an IUI. After 2 months, I was pregnant. Now we are trying for our 2nd child and unfortunately it's not going as well. We have had IUIs monthly with clomid and the Ovidrel shot but no luck. I truly think it's my diet and stress levels. I need to talk with him about it.

Because of my insurance, each visit co-pay is $40. Clomid runs from $40-$80 depending on if the pharmacy has coupons. The Ovidrel shot can run from $120-$200, again depending on coupons at the pharmacy. Each IUI costs $350, I believe.

There I was sitting in a fertility specialist exam room waiting on Dr. Davenport; a scared and helpless 27 year old holding her husband's hand wondering why we weren't good enough to have a child of our own together. I was nervous, embarrassed, and emotionally exhausted. The moment Dr. Davenport walked into that exam room, I felt a sense of hope and calmness. Davenport introduced himself and told us a little bit about him to help us feel moe at ease before we talked to him about why we were sitting in his office. While explaining our goals and consulting about the best treatment to begin first, he never once rushed us or over talked us. He was so patient and so understanding. When we were given the news that my husband's sperm count and motility was low, we were confused and honestly.. heartbroken. He comforted us and assured us that our dream of being parents together wasn't over. He gave us hope and he gave me something to begin looking forward to. He was very thorough with explaining what our first and next step would be for treatments. When we had 2 failed IUIs, he never once tried rushing me into any other procedures. He wanted me to be mentally and emotionally ready. He was by far the most caring doctor I've been to.

Always go in to every appointment with an open mind. Mentally and emotionally be ready for what you've dreamed of for so long, to not happen quickly overnight. It is a process that takes time. Never give up!

Our first treatment strategy was a saline ultrasound to check and make sure I had no tube blockages or cysts on my ovaries along with blood work to check all of my levels. Once it was determine that I had no issues on the ultrasound, ovulated on my own, and all bloodwork came back at the levels needed, we moved forward to a non-medicated IUI the first time. While advising my husband to take Lcarnitine vitamins to help with sperm count and motility. When the first IUI failed, he performed another ultrasound and determined that nothing with my body had changed, so we done a medicated IUI the next round with Letrozole and a trigger shot to be able to fully time my ovulation.

Our health insurance did not cover any fertility procedures, so everything was paid out of pocket. We paid $350 for the IUI alone. To move forward to IVF, it would costly nearly $17,000.

Dr Davenport treats not only your reproductive system, but the whole patient. He’s very well informed and compassionate for how you’re doing with treatments. He and his whole staff are so encouraging, they feel like family. During one test I was having a lot of pain and trying to hide it. He stopped right away and asked me to be honest about my pain level. For the next test he prescribed pain medication so I would be much more comfortable. He is also very supportive of the research I did for my own care instead of disregarding my thoughts. It made me feel very in control of my care.

Research your treatment options so you can be more proactive in your own care.

We did rounds of femara because of anovulation due to endometriosis. We also did an SIS and HSG to determine if my tubes were open. After these treatments I conceived!

Costs vary greatly due to insurance. My doctor also found less costly alternative medications when possible. (Such as bonjesta for 30 dollars.)

Doctor Davenport was very sensitive about my ethical concerns regarding IVF. If we needed to go this route I would definitely trust him to respect my wishes.

We had a great experience the first time around (and amazing results), and when he moved to his own clinic, he went to bat for us to help is get custody of our embryos. He absolutely has gone above and beyond what I would have expected of him. As we're trying again, he has made sure everything will go smoothly so that we don't have any of the struggles we had to get to our last transfer.

He can move fast, so sometimes, you have to ask him to slow down. I'm good with it because I did so much research on my own before we got to this point and we've done it all before.

My husband has low motility, low morphology, and low count, so we went straight to ivf. He was on clomid and novarel for 6 months the first time. I had a cycle with follistim because that is what my insurance would cover. We had great success with a twin pregnancy. When we went back for an FET, I did injectibles and estrogen and progesterone. Neither of our two remaining embryos stuck. This time around, my husband isn't doing the clomid and novarel, we're just going to go ahead and do icsi. I'm going to be on the same meds as last time because it obviously worked.

My insurance covers meds, testing, and monitoring. Our cycle plan (3 retrievals and 3 transfers) will be about 17k.

He was willing to go ahead and transfer two embryos because we wanted to. He said if we chose to do pgs this time around, he would not transfer two.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Davenport. It was bittersweet being released from his care when I was 9 week pregnant. I felt he truly cared about me and always took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that my husband and I could understand. He even personally called when lab results were late and after surgery. Dr. Davenport made our infertility journey more bareable.

Choose him as your doctor. He is a knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate physician.

We used Femara prior to IUI’s. This was unsuccessful. I had surgery to remove Endometriosis but did not get pregnant as a result. Also, I had a Tubal Cannulation to unblock my tubes and within a few months, I was pregnant.

My care under Dr. Davenport was 100% covered by my insurance.

Dr. Davenport is very caring. He always asks how you are doing, and then says "ok, and how are you REALLY doing emotionally". He always explains things well, and does put it in simpler terms when I don't understand. He has now left the practice, and unfortunately I did not get any feedback from him on our failed IVF.

If you don't understand just ASK, he will find a way for you to understand. Also even though he is a doctor he doesn't know what your body feels, so if something feels off (I ovulated early on 3 cycles), call and tell your nurse, they will listen and adjust if needed.

I was 28, and my husband and I had been trying for 1 year. He put me on 50mg of clomid and did my 1st IUI. We did 3 IUI's, then decided to do the laparoscopy to see if I had Endometriosis. He wasn't expecting that I would have it (even though I showed many of the signs), but I did....everywhere so he removed it. We then tried 3 more IUI's, and then opted for IVF. Since I always ovulated more than one egg with Clomid we went conservative with the dosage of Gonal-F (150units) and Menopur (75units), but that only produced 4 follicles so we opted to do an IUI instead. My second round at IVF we started with 300 units of Gonal-F (lowered to 200 units half way trough) and 75 units of Menopur. I produced 8 follicles this time, and we retrieved 6 mature eggs. 5 fertilized, but 3 stalled at day 3. We implanted both embryos on day 5, but unfortunately they failed. Dr. Davenport left the practice following my IVF so I never got feedback on what the issue could have been. That was disappointing.

I had Aetna PPO for all of my IUI's and the each costs $500 with the procedure and medicine. I talked to Dr. Davenport when I was changing insurances and he told me to look for one that covered injectable meds...best advice ever! For the IVF I had BCBS of Alabama Gold and it cost about $8000 for the procedure and I paid only $300 for my meds thanks to his advice. The injectables typically cost $4000.

Dr. Davenport is very caring. He always asks how you are doing, and then says "ok, and how are you REALLY doing emotionally". He always explains things well, and does put it in simpler terms when I don't understand. My first IVF attempt did not go well, I only produced 4 eggs so we cancelled and just did an IUI. This round he changed my dosage and that is all, so time will tell if this adjustment works.

I was 28, and my husband and I had been trying for 1 year. We had taken a "at home fertility" test, mine came back normal but my husband's did not (Dr. Davenport laughed at this, apparently at home test are NOT reliable for men at all). Turns out my husband it fine and I am the problem. He put be on 50mg of clomid and did my 1st IUI. We did 3 IUI's, then decided to do the laparoscopy to see if I had Endometriosis. He wasn't expecting that I would have it (even though I showed many of the signs), but I did....everywhere so he removed it. We then tried 3 more IUI's, and then opted for IVF. Since I always ovulated more than one egg with Clomid we went conservative with the dosage of Gonal-F (150units) and Menopur (75units), but that only produced 4 follicles so we opted to do an IUI instead. I will start my next try at IVF next week, and they are starting me with 300 units of Gonal-F and 75 units of Menopur. We will see how this one turns out!

I really liked Dr. Davenport. My husband was a little more apprehensive only because of his age/had not been practicing that long. I thought he was knowledgeable and I liked that he was younger because sometimes younger doctors have fresher insight to new technology and advances. I was a little taken back when Dr. Davenport did not perform the only IUI we did with his office though. It was my first IUI and although I had been told what to expect, I was still anxious and nervous. The nurse practitioner and another lady performed the IUI. I was never once told that the doctor does not perform IUIs. I don't know if they expected me to know this or what.

Ask questions. Ask all questions you have even if you think they are stupid, whether your doctor is Dr. Davenport or a different doctor. Advocate for yourself or it will feel like you are shuffled around or just another number or debit card.

Our first and only IUI with Dr. Davenport was two years ago..I do know my husband had started taking HCG shots for low sperm morphology. I think I started on birth control or estradiol and then waited until it was closer to ovulation and then they called me and told me to come in and they could do the IUI. it was a simple and quick procedure, but I don't believe I was on any medicine (I do not have and trouble with ovulating).

I believe the IUI was right at $1,000. My husband's HCG shots were about $200 every 3 weeks or so that Dr. Davenport recommended would help with his sperm count. I believe my office visits were about $65.

We did not do IVF with Dr. Davenport.

I had multiple IUIs that were completed by his nurse. I had explained to them that I had previous miscarriages and wanted to figure out why. I was becoming pregnant on my own. They pushed for us to do IUIs every month and when I suggested the medication and timed intercourse he said we were wasting our time. They did not do any additional lab or diagnostic tests besides the usual fertility labs of hormone levels. My time going to Dr. Davenport resulted in nothing other than lots of bills.

Find someone else.

Medications, timed intercourse, IUIs

I remember having to pay fees for IUIs

We first saw Dr. Davenport shortly after he joined Huntsville Repro Medicine. He was an excellent listener, very warm and very informative. He gave my husband a hug in the hallway when pregnancy was confirmed! He did some of the ultrasounds himself, and was always super approachable.

Call them now!! They want to see you on cycle day 3, so call before your next period for sure.

We'd done two rounds of unmonitored letrozole with my OB/GYN. We met with Dr. Davenport on CD3, and decided to go straight to IUI. I ovulate fine, but we did clomid to be able to control the timing. 1 round of clomid + 1 ovidrel injection to trigger ovulation. First IUI was successful.

Bloodwork and ultrasounds were covered by insurance (subject to copay), I believe the price for the IUI was $350 or so. Does not include meds, which were covered by my insurance (with copay)

I didn't really care for him. He acted like everything was my weight. I know I'm over weight but when you only see the dr. Like 3 times in a year and a few months him telling you you're over weight every time kinda upsets me.

Make sure you aren't fat when you see him. He'll think that's the problem for everything.

The only time I really had to pay was when I saw him which didn't happen often

Dr. Davenport is great. He's very upfront and blunt about what to expect. He tries to get to the bottom of the issue. He seems to really care about his patients. He thinks through what is the best course of treatment.

To not be nervous.

My insurance covers 80 percent so I do not have to worry about the cost as much.

He is a busy doctor I get that, I Just wish he would've gotten to know me better and actually reviewed my chart a little better during consultation before getting to the middle of my time with him which is 3mo later and moving my IVF date for late decovered issues that could've been founded before now.

Please know your body prior.

None yet, to many set back but I can say I heard he was a good doctor via Google Reviews.

They sent a pricing sheet for self pay

He well informed me

Dr. Davenport would talk with me about a plan or our next steps but then call my husband the next day and change the plans. It would never be communicated to me unless my husband happened to remember to tell me.

Go in ready to do exactly what he says and wants with no questions or thoughts permitted.

Femera.

Very expensive. Wanted to do a 400 dollar seman analysis but couldn't tell us the benefit of having the results.

He and his team are kind and compassionate. They spend time with you and you don’t feel rushed. They seem to truly care about you during this trying time. We are still in the process and they have helped us change course and weigh our options. I feel informed, and supported.

Come in with good questions.

IUI so far we have spent $1000 including testing. Not sure yet what IVF cost will be.
