He [Dr. James Liu] was very informative and explained things to us in a way that we would be able to understand. He was very positive yet realistic when needed. We would recommend him to anyone!...He was so helpful and told us everything in an easy manner. He talked to us like we are humans and didn’t get overly technical. He answered our questions and was always available. He was welcoming and we never felt “in the dark.”
The clinic [University Hospital Fertility Center] was amazing. Dr. Goldfarb and Dr. Liu seemed to genuinely care about us and built great relationships. The nurses were outstanding. We felt so comfortable and at ease when we are there. It was like we had been patients for years after meeting them once or twice...We did 5 IUI’s. With the first four we did strictly Clomid. On the 5th IUI we used injectables (Follistim) and a trigger shot.

They all made me feel as if they knew me personally and truly cared about my main goal of having a baby...I felt that Karin [nurse] was very compassionate with the patients undergoing treatment. She was always helpful with all of my questions and very patient with me.
