Daniel Grow

Dr. Grow has a calm and friendly nature. He speaks calmly while providing patients with needed information. His happy and optimistic nature rubs off on patients. He is honest and provides suggestions in a non-threatening and reassuring manner.

Do not be scared to ask questions :-)

When with Dr. Grow, I was part of a double blind research study. Some of the information I was not privy to during the study. But, in consultation, Dr. Grow made it clear that he was hopeful to get some eggs for retrieval. Once I began my cycle I was monitored just as must or even more so than a regular patient. Even before beginning the Study I had a consultation with Dr. Grow, a physical, two ultrasounds, internal exam, and multiple panels of blood work. I went in on day three, received an ultrasound, and was given the injectible study medication to take, I began with 12 mcg. I went back on day five and had more blood work and an ultrasound and was put on Ganirelix. I was also upped to 15 mcg of the injectible. I continued Ganirelix and the injectible, coming in on days 7, 8, and 9 for ultrasound and more bloodwork. On day 9 I took Novarel as a trigger. I retrieved on day 11 and began Endometrin tablets the following day.

I did have to go in at a certain window, especially as part of a study, but most times I did not have to wait terrible long. And, staff were so kind and supportive.

For the workup I paid copays. Once in the study the costs were covered.

As part of the study my husband and I agreed to a single embryo transfer.

Doctor Grow is kind and clearly knowledgeable about his field. At our early visits he took the time to listen to me and my husband. He provided me with additional information when requested and was honest (but gentle) about expectations. While our first attempt did not result in a live birth, I am hopeful that with Dr. Grow's care our next transfer will work.

After experiencing a chemical pregnancy, I think he should have been the one to call me with the news, not his nurse.

We started with screening for both me and partner which included full blood work (for both), sperm analysis, and genetic screening. Once these results were in, we met to discuss and create our stim protocol. Dr. Grow used SQ injections of menopur, ganirelex, and gonal-f to stimulate my ovaries. My trigger shot was done via SQ hcg. My eggs were then retrieved and fertilized via ICSI due to my husband's sperm motility. Five day blastocysts were transferred and received assisted hatching. I was started on crinone before and after transfer. I transferred two blastocycsts and got a positive pregnancy test. My hcg levels continued to rise, as evidenced by blood work, but my blood work one and a half weeks after indicated a chemical pregnancy. All medications other than vitamins have been stopped at this time. I will start my frozen transfer at my next period and will also begin crinone at that time.

The monitoring appointments were a well-oiled machine. Patients coming in for bloodwork only were seen downstairs in the lab. When I needed both an ultrasound and bloodwork both were done upstairs. I appreciate that no matter what I was having done, it was done in one location. My wait times were never excessive and everyone I worked with were professional and efficient.

To date, we have spent 15, 100.

Dr. Grow gave us information regarding the pros and cons of single vs multiple embryo transfer. We ultimately decided to transfer two,

He genuinely wants to help people get pregnant. He was willing to look at my case and come with an individualized plan. He has a good bedside manner but you may not see him frequently. He was not good about communicating my chance of success and only did so when I asked after several failed cycles.

Ask him specific questions. He didn't mention PGS or give me an estimated chance of success on his own and I had to bring it up.

Clomid 100mg for 2 IUI cycles, no rational given. 1st failed, 2nd canceled for poor response. 1st IVF estrogen priming, 450 follistim, 150 menopur, no rational given, 4 eggs 2 fertilized 1 abnormal blastocyst. 2nd round birth control, lupron 20units, 450 follistim 150 menopur, cancelled converted to IUI, chemical pregnancy, originally no rational given but after cancelling he said it was an established protocol for deminished overian reserve. 3rd IVF growth hormone 3 units, lupron 20 units to 10 units, 300 follistim, 300 menopur, rational was that it tailored to my case. 4 eggs retrieved, 2 embryos, and 1 abnormal blastocyst.

Monitoring appointments are in the morning. I didn't know who was going to do my scan until they walked in the room. You are given a cloth to drape and given as much privacy as possible.

Insurance covered treatment and most meds. PGS $1500 for biopsy each time.

My doctor did not communicate this with me

We came to him because we couldnt afford the previous doctor. He gave us a few different affordable options. He is always so kind, direct with information presented. I always feel well informed and well cared for at this office.

It is well worth traveling out of state for the level of care and compassion.

We are still in the process but I can tell you they hold your hand every step if the way. Everyone has always been kind and helpful.

Very affordable and extremely helpful with payments for services. I feel like I'm working with a doctors office and not a collection agency.

He kept us well informed and showed us compassion. He made sure to keep us involved in all the decision making. Dr. Grow had a kind personality and was personable. He was very knowledgeable about his profession. Dr. grow contacted us on his vacation.

You will be in good hands.

We did a fresh transfer, a frozen transfer, then a modified transfer.

the cost was fixed with what was expected

Dr. Grow made us feel comfortable and confident from our first meeting. Although we did not see him much through the process, as other doctors performed certain procedures, he ensured us that we were always in good hands and that he was overseeing every step of the IVF process for us. In the times we did meet him (via zoom) he was kind, compassionate, and patient. It was wonderful to work with him.

He will not see him as often as you would like but he will communicate with you regularly regardless

We were referred to The Center due to male factor infertility. Dr.Grow confirmed these results and explained our options, knowing that our goal was to achieve a positive pregnancy result. Because of our situation he recommended IVF using ICSI right away. We were discharged from the clinic after having a positive pregnancy result (confirmed by many rounds of bloodwork and an ultrasound on week 7) after our first IVC Cycle.

Besides copay for some medications, all costs were covered by my insurance once my deductible was met.
