Clifford Hayslip

When we first met Dr. Hayslip we were surprised to find out how much knowledge he had. He recommended some treatments that we weren't told about from our previous doctor. When he was showing us ovarian drilling he had pamphlets and pictures and much more info that he gave us before we made the decision to do it. He was very understanding of our personal journey and was 100% committed to helping us the whole time. Whenever we have a doctor visit his attention is fully focused on us the entire time.

Listen to him, and communicate what your expectations are. He wants the absolute best for you.

In our early visits with Dr. Hayslip he suggested Ovarian Drilling to help with PCOS. After the procedure my wife was managing to ovulate on her own for the first time. Once we were able to ovulate we still weren't actually getting pregnant. So after a few months next the plan was IUI which was unsuccessful. Now the plan is to try IUI one or two more times and if unsuccessful still we will then move to injection and then IVF.

We have tricare so there weren't really any cost for us. But we did pay for the IUI which cost $600 and that included the sperm wash.

Does not apply to our situation.

Dr. Hayslip has been wonderful to work with. He's willing to listen to my concerns and address them. Even if I feel like I'm asking a silly question, he never makes me feel that way and always answers me with the utmost of professionalism and care. He's responsive to messages, he's willing to do what it takes to try and make me a mom. After my 3rd failed IUI, I emailed him and said I needed to take a break and he was kind in his response - and supportive. I'm not just someone he's working with - he knows who I am and is willing to work with me.

Take his advice, but don't be afraid to ask questions and see if there's other ways of doing things. Sometimes we forget to advocate for ourselves, but we need to do so even when we trust our physician. I absolutely trust Dr. Hayslip, and I know that any time I ask a question or feel like I'm bothering him, he'll make sure I know I'm not. He's willing to listen to what I have to say, to the questions I'm asking and he's not upset when I advocate for myself.

My ovaries like to hide and have been unable to be found on ultrasound (trans-vaginally or abdominaly), so we realized monitoring would be difficult. He tried Clomid to see if that would help and it didn't. He kept me on the Clomid for another cycle, which also turned out to not work. When I emailed him over Christmas with my concerns about the Clomid (it was making me nuts and my periods were so painful), he answered me back quickly and switched me to Femara. We didn't succeed on that cycle, but he has some ideas for when I'm ready to continue. This includes uping my dose of Femara and trying an abdominal ultrasound (an imaging place was able to find them that way a year ago).

It was $454 for IUI. That doesn't include sperm or medication - just the procedure.

Dr. Hayslip what's very knowledgeable. I felt extremely confident in his hands. He looked out for my best interests and I fully trusted him. He told me the honest truth about my condition. I would recommend him 100 percent!

Be prepared to hear the honest truth. Because he's not going to sugarcoat anything to make you feel better. He's going to tell you the truth so that you know what you're facing and the cost that are involved. He doesn't want you to go through unnecessary steps costing you money if it's not going to result in a pregnancy.

I was giving Clomid to stimulate my follicles. I then had an ultrasound. I also had blood work done to determine my FSH. The doctor saw very few follicles and my FSH was extremely low which led the doctor to the conclusion I had premature ovarian failure.

ECU is probably one of the more expensive fertility clinics in North Carolina. But it was the closest to where I live. And fortunately for me all of my diagnostic testing was covered under my insurance. So I only had to pay my co-pays which were I believe $80 each visit.

If I remember correctly my doctor suggested a multiple embryo transfer to increase the chances of success.

Dr. Hayslip was absolutely amazing. He took the time to help us understand all courses of treatment and did not once make us feel like we or our dreams of having a family didn’t matter. He never once told me what I wanted to hear, he always told me what I needed to hear. This, to me, is a sign of a great doctor. I didn’t want the fluff I’d heard from previous specialists. I wanted to know what I needed to do to have a baby. Dr. Hayslip did just that.

Don’t expect to hear fluff or sugar coating. Go in and expect to hear the truth and follow his advice.

Dr. Hayslip was aggressive in treatment from day one and we loved that. He was very open and honest about all courses of treatment. The only course of treatment that I questioned was the ovarian drilling surgery but I’m so glad that I did it because it helped in resulting in us having our miracle baby. I did have to push a little to start injections but Dr. hayslip was nervous to because of my PCOS and hyperstimulation of my ovaries. But, we sat down, went over pros and cons and ultimately he agreed to start injections. Wouldn’t you know the very first cycle of injections brought us our rainbow baby.

We ended up only paying about $600 total for over 3 years of treatments with this clinic. Our insurances covered everything else.

We felt like after our chart was read that there was nothing that could be done but “just keep trying “ or IVF. We were already frustrated because 6 months prior we had a failed IVF attempt that was a horrible experience. Hayslip seemed very knowledgeable about the process and we had heard great things about him but we expected him to want to run his own test and make his own diagnosis instead he read our chart and went off the other dr findings. And that may be normal between drs but at the time we were extremely down and frustrated. He prescribed clomid for two months and really didn’t get much out of the visits. He then suggested UNC Fertility to y’all with them about IVF. We felt that he really didn’t think he could help us so we felt pushed away.

Keep in contact to keep moving forward

We used clomid for 3 cycles, and were told to call when cycle started.

Copay 20$ chlomid 30 x 3 Refer to unc fertility appointments 80 x 2

Drs wanted to get multiple embryo transfer due to chromosome disorder

Dr. Hayslip is amazing. I have seen him ever visit, which was not the case with my other doctors. Always is in there and does my ultrasound and when separately discusses everything same visit in his office.

He is blunt and honest so be prepared for that. I prefer that, but some don't.

He had me do one medication cycle when I failed to ovulate he recommended ovarian drilling which I did. When did a low dose of medication (I was on the highest before surgery) had an ultrasound and ovulated. No results that round but still hopeful.

I have tricare. And his office does accept it so the only things I pay for our if I want to do IUI and my medications

My experience with Dr. Hayslip is he is a very kind doctor, I had a great experience with him and the whole staff. He explains everything to you and answers any questions that you may have. He is never rushing or pushing and we'll take the time to make you feel like a patient and not just a number.

Do not be afraid to discuss any and everything with him and never be afraid to ask questions

The treatments were to First have an hsg to see if I had any blockage in my tubes before we started any type of fertility treatments

I remember the IUI costing $600

Dr. Hayslip, is a very blunt, old man. He tells you what you need to hear, although it may not be what you want to hear, but in a way that I can respect. There is no fluff in his statements, but he is full of compassion. His only goal, with you as a patient, is for you to find success. I love Dr. Hayslip! This man has definitely found his calling in life.

Expect to be overwhelmed with the amount of respect and compassion one team can give you. Dr. Hayslip and his staff, treat you as an equal. They speak to you in terms you can understand, but they also don't talk down to you. This team, will become one of your greatest assets in your fertility journey!

He is compassionate and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable being his patient. They were also respectful of my time and I did not feel like it was wasted sitting in the waiting room. Dr. Hayslip was able to adust treatment needed and I had a voice in treatments.

Ask questions if you don't understand

Dr. Hayslip recommended least invasive treatment first. We started with Clomid and ultrasound monitoring then moved to shots with IUI.

$30 copay with each visit and $50 for ovadrill shot. Other costs associated with folistem.

His strength was that he was understanding, informative and sympathetic. He was one the best doctors I have encountered with my whole entire life and without Hayslil I wouldn’t have the 10% chance to get preganant. Before I had slim to none. He had no weakeness, amazing doctor.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. I know patients can be intimidated by doctors but being inform with everything going on in your treatment will make you feel more at ease.

Dr. Hayslip did my sugery but he made sure the clinic I came from was on top of their game and was monitoring me closely. He wanted to the best for me because I am young and it’s hard for me to go through all of this fertility issues at this age.

Since my husband is active duty Tricare Prime covered for my medical.

I don’t have the funds for IVF right now but I hope in the near future we will. Husband is always training and deploying and we have always wanted a big family.
