Dr [Chris Longbella's] bedside manner is top notch. Personally opened the clinic on a Sunday outside of normal business hours so we would not miss our iui window...He makes you feel so comfortable. Did at times feel like I was coming up with my own treatment plan. He is pretty much open to how agressive you would like to be but sometimes it felt like we were unsure about what we should do treatment wise and felt we needed more guidance.
Good staff [at OakLeaf Clinic]. Infertility patients get first priority appointments. Staff is very professional and compassionate. There could be better coordination between patients and Nurses as they set up the cycle. Too long of call back wait times if you get Nurse voicemail...We did one non medicated iui which was unsucsessful. Had one monotoring u/s with that cycle. Second iui was medicated with 2.5mg letrozole and no trigger. Had one u/s also with that cycle when I got a positive opk.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Oakleaf Clinic OBGYN. (Assigned nurse: Nancy )
The Nurses are all friendly just hard to get ahold of. I would call in AM and leave message and not get call back for hours. Would always get Nurses voicemail and have to wait 4 plus hours before you would get an call back.

316.oo for iui. 167.00 per each ultrasound. I think the first iui we paid 367. He does own his own practice so somtimes I think he charges less than what we were quoted at times.

[Dr. Chris Longbella] explained everything in great detail that was easy to understand. Explained the procedures as they were being performed. Followed up to see how things were going since we lived 2 hours away. Always made a point that we understood everything before we left and what our next steps would be...Very personal. Very relatable...
We were one of the first patients in the new clinic [Oakleaf Clinic]. Everything was new. Always ensured our privacy. We never had to wait in the waiting room very long.
