Enrique Soto

Doctor Soto is honestly the most amazing doctor I have ever had. After being in care of another physician about a year and a half ago at 27 years old, perfectly healthy with unexplained infertility I finally felt like I am In great hands. With my previous doctor my transfers kept on failing and I had to keep pushing new ideas on her with her refusing to take any innovative steps. With doctor Soto he immediately knew that my case shouldn’t have been this hard and, ran some more tests and made a proper transfer cycle for me. The first try with doctor Soto was a success after my four PGS normal embryos that were wasted in failed transfers at the previous colic and I am currently 14 weeks pregnant. His abilities are absolutely incredible and after my previous care I realized that I should never settle. Doctor Soto showed care, compassion, I never ever felt like I am bothering him with anything and was a true angel. I am so eternally grateful and my biggest regret is that I didn’t find him sooner. Thank you for my miracle baby!

Be open about everything, don’t be afraid to ask questions. He will not judge or make you feel bad about wanting things done a certain way.

I’ve had three failed transfers at my previous clinic. One was a medicated transfer which failed and I knew it was wrong for my body to my reaction since second attempt failed due to breakthrough bleeding. I then had to advocate for natural transfer which resulted in a miscarriage. Afterwards I did I again with two PGS normal embryos and it was negative. Then finally I switched and went to doctor Soto and he agreed natural cycle is the way to go, I was put on letrozole and we monitored ovulation and after my trigger shot we transferred after 7 days. My previous clinic did it after 6 which clearly was wrong. I also was tested for estrogen levels after the transfer which were e tre my low and I never was tested for that at the previous clinic as I was told it’s not necessary since it’s a natural transfer. I started with estrogen patches and pills and continued my progesterone suppositories.

I don’t remember the costs

Doctor Soto preferred single transfer

Dr. Soto was a kind and polite doctor. We’ve been on the Infertility route for 7+ years so I’ve learned on the subject throughout the years. I’m very familiar with procedures, medication and options. He explained what treatment will be done in the near future. But he doesn’t ask many questions of you or your partner medical history. He rushed through a bit of our medical history, gave me a prescription for thyroid medication and went on to ultrasound where he found my fibroids;I totally forgot to mentioned and was never ask if had any type of polyps or fibroids, he never ask any of the personal questions that other fertility drs take the time to ask. We totally felt rushed through. Our initial consultation only last 15 minutes. I was shocked. Then my 2nd and last time I saw him was my follow up after all testing. Same impression quick visit and him surprised I could understand everything easily. He thought within a matter of 2 IUI I will be pregnant not the case. He failed to follow up my thyroid medication during my IUI cycles and I was over medicated, my TSH Levels were nonexistent when I requested being checked again for them to lower my medication. I won’t be going back to this dr again. Only reason I stayed there because insurance paid for bloodwork and initial visit. I learned I rather paid all out of pocket.

Have a list of questions, don’t expect him asking a lot of detail questions. Make sure to ask what baseline blood tests will they be do doing. Don’t asume like I did with my thyroid medication. As much as you can ASK Questions.

On our 1st IUI cycle we used Letrozole 5mg CD3-7 and Trigger shot Ovidrel 250. 2nd IUI Letrozole 5mg CD3-7 and Trigger shot Ovidrel 250. He didn’t change my protocol even though I asked the nurse since first cycle didn’t work.

CD3 pelvic ultrasound- $216.00 CD3 blood work- $299.00 (includes estradiol, fsh, lh and bhcg) Baseline ultrasound $186.00 IUI's- $409.00 each (office does 2 IUI's per cycle) includes sperm preparation and insemination. If using a frozen vial, an additional fee of $125.00 for thawing will be charged Progesterone blood test- $99.00 BHCG pregnancy test- $84.00

Dr. Soto has a great bedside manner and is very kind. He provides a lot of detailed information and always allows room for questions and concerns. I trust him moving forward with our treatment and feel he will be the one to give us our desired outcome of a baby!

Be prepared to wait for appointments in the waiting room, but it's worth it. IVFMD is a great place and so far, so good with Dr. Soto!

He had my husband go see a fertility urologist because our need to do IVF is male factor infertility. He gave us suggestions and advice for increasing my husbands sperm count and for me to increase my egg count and quality.

It's estimated to be about $22,000 - $25,000 depending on how much the medications cost for a frozen IVF cycle.

No experience with this yet.

He was very gentle but informative. He has excellent bedside manner. Only downside was that he didn’t perform the actual IUI and I did not get to see him before or after. I thought that was a bit strange.

They are in good hands with him.

He worked along with my doctor home, so between them they set the best protocol based on my low AMH and endometriosis. I was put on Menopur injections at 75iu once a day and then given a trigger shot 12 hours before first IUI (I had a double IUI). Dr Soto agreed that only 3 IUIs should be done before moving on to IVF so we all agree if this cycle is not successful that’s what will get done.

I paid for my monitoring and medication at home which was about USD$2,000.00. The actual IUI procedures done with Dr Soto were $409 and I did a double so it was $818 for the two IUIs, plus $110 for the trigger shot and $86 for two weeks worth of progesterone suppositories. So in total I paid $3,014.00 for one IUI cycle.

Dr. Enrique Soto organized his agenda to take my case as soon as possible, in the appointment he look at me in a really professional way and gave me all the different options I had at that moment... he show me that HE really cares and he is really good for what he do.

Share with him all your doubts, he will speak to you with the truth.

The attention was so good that at the moment I didn't pay attention to the cost. I think it was hand to hand with the treatment and the advice received.

NA

He has patience and understands that the process we are going through can be emotional. He does not hold back but has empathy. He speaks with no judgement also. Dr. Soto did not rush during the consultation and answered all questions we had although it was few because he went through everything diligently

Have patiences with the staff.

He explained IVF procedure is our only option due to tubal blockage. He information that he would start me on birth control and procedure with that.

I had a deductible plan the cost was average. Self pay was less than my insurance deductible

Dr. Soto is very kind, compassionate, down to earth and encouraging. He was fraught forward even if it hurt a little. Every appointment was very well organized and his procedures are extremely methodical. He cares 100 percent about his patients and And giving them the outcome they want. All procedures done where carefully done with patience.

Trust in him

Femara and trigger shot

My insurance did not cover so I paid out of pocket. About 5000

He did the best approach and make sure we’d have the best options and chances. Explained every detail and gave us confidence so that made us trust him. He listened to us and considered our opinions so we knew we were in good hands. We did have our miracle baby

Speak openly make all the questions because he is a good listener and will do the best he can to help you achieve your dream of become a parent

I don’t remember these details but I know he tested me for Hashimoto s since I have hypothyroidism and that was the time I realized I have it because none has tested me for that before! He also tested for Antifosfolipids antibodies that was a great move because I also tested positive and had to use blood thinner the whole pregnancy whit out that maybe our beautiful story wouldn’t be the same

Don’t remember exactly but maybe between 20.000 and 30.000$

He had a preference but we also ended up with just one embryo so no choice of multiples anyways
