2018 - 2019, Unsuccessful
After the results came back as azoospermia, he ordered a testicular biopsy to confirm the presence or absence of sperm in the testicles. The biopsy showed there were sperm present. Viable sperm was collected during the biopsy to be stored for later use. Then, Dr. Kovac prescribed Clomid for four months to increase hormone levels and try to stimulate sperm production. Finally, another round of blood work and a sperm analysis were performed to check if the Clomid was effective.
The nursing staff [at Urology of Indiana] was knowledgeable and open to questions. It was difficult to contact them by telephone...At my last appointment, we waited over an hour for results from a semen analysis. It turned out one of the nurses misplaced part of the results...It is extremely busy most of the time though...The best time to call the office is after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Expect to get into your appointment later than scheduled. The waiting room is usually full. That being said, the staff is knowledgeable and seem happy to answer any questions. They are also flexible with appointment times and are willing to work with patients in that regard.
