Review of
Dr. Yanushpolsky has been awesome so far. She’s thorough, kind, and compassionate. She reassures me and doesn’t mind to take the time to answer all of my questions. She listens to me and plans my treatment accordingly. As a single woman trying to have a baby, it’s easy to lean toward judgement but Dr. Yanushpolsky didn’t seem to mind; she was just as glad to help me.... Dr. Yanushpolsky and I decided to do four rounds of natural IUI
The front desk staff [Brigham & Women's Hospital] are kind and knowledgeable. I had an amazing experience when I went for my first IUI. The medical assistant who checked me in was really nice; she allowed me to be a part of the whole process, and even explained what she was doing along the way. At the end she allowed me and friends view the sperm under the microscope! Very cool!... I paid a little over 200 before the procedure, which was the fee for the doctor. The remained was billed to me- I think around 500 dollars.

I found the idea of going to an RE intimidating and still do but Dr. Yanushpolsky makes it less stressful. I don’t have any complaints yet but I’ll be sure to update you if things change.

Dr. Yanushpolsky is upbeat and tends to move fast- don’t be afraid to ask questions! She’s happy to answer them.

Describe the protocols Elena Yanushpolsky used in your cycles at Brigham & Women's Hospital and their degree of success.
Dr. Yanushpolsky and I decided to do four rounds of natural IUI. She explained that because of my age (27) and the results of my blood work/HSG we would try without medication and follow up if I wasn’t pregnant after four cycles.

Dr. Yanushpolsky did minimal testing on me, declared me as having "unexplained" infertility, and put me on a standard IVF protocol that led to ovarian hyperstimulation. In my cycle with her at age 34, I ended up with only two euploid embryos from 25 eggs retrieved. I transferred these embryos at a different clinic, and neither worked. I was finally diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis at another clinic...
Back in 2017 when I did my cycle, the Brigham felt like an IVF mill. I was put on their standard IVF protocol for people with unexplained infertility, and even though in retrospect I see I had many obvious risk factors for ovarian hyperstimulation, they didn't flag it or adjust the protocol accordingly, so unsurprisingly, I hyperstimulated after my retrieval...Kathy [nurse] was a bright spot in an otherwise terrible experience at The Brigham...

In my cycle with her at age 34, I ended up with only two euploid embryos from 25 eggs retrieved. I transferred these embryos at a different clinic, and neither worked. I was finally diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis at another clinic, and got three euploid embryos in another cycle at age 39 (more than I got at age 34 with Dr. Y) because the new clinic gave me a completely different protocol to account for these conditions.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Elena Yanushpolsky at Brigham & Women's Hospital?
Dr. Y is very experienced, ethical and evidence-based. But if you're at the point you need to do IVF, you also need a doctor who is not willing to accept "unexplained" as a diagnosis. You need someone who will take the time to dig further so that she is putting you on the right protocol. Dr. Y is not this type of doctor.

Kathy was a bright spot in an otherwise terrible experience at The Brigham.
Describe your experience with Brigham & Women's Hospital.
The location is convenient if you live in Boston, but the clinic felt like an IVF mill. Maybe things have changed, but back in 2017, I had to do monitoring appointments where I put my name down on a list, wait in a room with at least 20 other people for some unknown amount of time, and get a scan by a different tech each time. Every other clinic I've since been to lets me make an appointment for monitoring so that I don't have to wait and wonder how long I'll be waiting, and they also have the doctors or nurse practitioners do the scans, rather than techs. I just never got the sense that they were trying to provide any sort of personalized care or customize the protocol to me (which would have been hard anyways, given that they didn't fully diagnose the causes of my infertility).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Elena Yanushpolsky at Brigham & Women's Hospital.
MA requires insurers to cover IVF, so I didn't have many costs besides the drugs.

Review of
She [Dr. Elena Yanushpolsky] recommended to move directly to IVF due to my abdominal pain from endometriosis. She was honest that IUI would not be the right plan for me and would just prolong pain. I started with the pre-treatment testing and then moved to treatment. I started with birth control and then injection for several days with close monitoring via blood work and ultrasound. I had a HCG trigger and then egg retrieval. They then did a 5 day fresh transfer one one embryo
They [the staff at Brigham & Women's] were kind and thorough. They have a lot going on and it lead to long waits for monitoring some mornings. They were responsive when I was in cycle, but not after I was done. They did not call to update me as my embryos grew, but that may have been related to the study we participated in.... During my cycle the staff were great and very responsive. After my cycle I needed paperwork for insurance and I couldn’t get anyone to return my call. It took weeks before I got a response and then was never able to get what I needed.
How was your experience with Elena Yanushpolsky at Brigham & Women's Hospital?
The only down side is she was always far behind on her schedule, but it was usually because she had emergencies. She was thoughtful and thorough. She listened to my concerns and responded accordingly.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Elena Yanushpolsky at Brigham & Women's Hospital?
Make sure you have time for the appointments. As things may take some time.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Elena Yanushpolsky at Brigham & Women's Hospital?

There were many women in the waiting room and some morning they didn’t have enough techs. This lead to long waits.

We participated in a study that required single embryo transfer. If we didn’t participate In the study our doctor still have strongly recommended eset. That recommended was based on my age and experience.

Review of
It was my first time as a fertility patient so it was definitely an overwhelming experience. Dr. Y [Yanushpolsky] was very practical and knowledgeable. She has a lot of strengths but the office was so busy that there could have been more help for newbies like myself...Do you research, be prepared as you won't have a lot of individual time with Dr. Y. She cares tho and is very professional and knowledgeable.
It was busy practice so the front office staff and Dr. Y really didn't get to know you very well. As a patient you spend more time with the blood lab and ultrasound people. I was very fortunate to get pregnant on my 3rd IUI with Dr. Y. I was with a more local doctor when trying for my second years later...Since it's at the Brigham, it can be overwhelming given all the other focus areas of the hospital overall. Do your homework and prepare to make the most of your time there. I remember sitting in an orientation clinic with a large group of hopeful parents-to-be and getting a large folder of information. It was overwhelming but doable.

Back in 2006, insurance companies were still requiring the 3 IUIs first so that's what we did and my 3rd IUI was successful and now my beautiful daughter is almost 10 :) I was happy that my insurance covered the injectable pen then as it was relatively new and less intimidating than the thicker ones they had then.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Brigham & Women's Hospital.
It was a long time ago. My experience varied depending on who I got to see. Some had more bedside manner than others.

6 rounds of medication cycles with timed intercourse and 1 round of intrauterine insemination [protocol with Dr. Yanushpolsky]. Insurance required 6 rounds before ivf...Felt very cared for and supported after miscarriage and d&c procedure...Was very thorough and sat and explained things to my husband and I. I felt very comfortable asking questions to her and what was next. She was apologetic to our situation during miscarriage and procedure.
[Brigham & Women's Hospital is] Very responsive that day if you call before the clinic is closed. You can get an appointment quickly or bloodwork. Works well with my work schedule. When calling the nursing station, you leave a voicemail and get a return call which is always prompt but would be interested in talking at that time...The staff there was great. From the unit clerk, Michelle to all the nursing staff and ultrasound technicians. Very supportive during difficult times and responsive and caring.

Dr Yanushpolsky was very thorough in explaining the issues I was facing medically and why I had suffered miscarriages in the past. She was sympathetic but clear and concise in explaining how she would address the issues...she met with me and explained clomid was not what was needed and I tried one round of Ovidrel as she prescribed and was pregnant that month and had my son.
Every nurse and staff member [at Brigham & Women's Hospital- South Shore] that I encountered was very kind and compassionate and great at their job. I can't say enough good things about my experiences with them!...I had been on clomid for months and had experienced 3 miscarriages. Dr Yanushpolsky ran a new set of blood tests and arranged several tests to check my ovaries, eggs and fallopian tubes. As soon as the results of these tests were available she met with me and explained clomid was not what was needed and I tried one round of Ovidrel as she prescribed and was pregnant that month and had my son.
How was your experience with Elena Yanushpolsky at Brigham & Women's Hospital?
I had visited 2 other reproductive endocrinologists prior to Dr Yanushpolsky and I found them to have "better" bedside manner but they were not as results oriented as Dr Y. Although she wasn't as chatty or warm as others I had seen she was very nice and very to the point. I felt very confident in her understanding and her care plan for me.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Elena Yanushpolsky at Brigham & Women's Hospital?
Don't expect hugs, but expect results.

I really like her. I wish [Dr. Yanushpolsky] was easier to get a hold of and gave a little more information, but overall i am happy. I wish she did more in person appointments. I have only seen her virtually except for the hsg proceedure...For 2 months i took clomid, then waited for approval for ivf from insurance which was denied. Then put in for iui which was also denied. Waiting on mext steps now
