From our initial consultation, Dr. Yeh was knowledgeable, well spoken, and approachable.

I can't say enough how highly I recommend Aspire HFI and him personally - my experience as a patient exceeded my expectations.

My advice to prospective patients would be to do research on your own to be knowledgeable about your course of treatment, but ultimately lean on your doctor for their expertise.

Describe the protocols Jason Yeh used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
My husband and I began diagnostic testing with bloodwork, sperm analysis, and a hysteroscopy which was performed by another doctor at Aspire HFI (fine by me). After confirming our anticipated diagnosis of PCOS with anovulation, Dr. Yeh laid out all treatment options and we decided to pursue IVF. My egg retrieval protocol included Follistim, Menopur, then later Cetrotide and trigger shots of Lupron and Pregnyl. We had extremely successful results with 54 eggs retrieved and 26 day 5/6 embryos. I had a difficult recovery but Dr. Yeh and team coached me through and were always empathetic. Dr. Yeh also discussed in detail how to weigh our decision whether or not to pursue PGT. After a few months we moved forward in preparing for an embryo transfer with Estrace tablets, Minivelle patches, and later Progesterone in oil injections. We successfully transferred one embryo and are now 10 weeks pregnant.

Describe your experience with Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I highly recommend Aspire HFI to pursue your fertility needs. My only (small) frustration was the phone system in which you call an operator, they put a message through to your doctor/nurse team, and then you wait for their response. I found the patient portal much more effective.
Describe Jason Yeh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
Dr. Yeh was passionate that with my overall health and this being our initial transfer attempt that a single frozen embryo transfer was highly advised and we leaned on his expertise.
NO matter how dumb your questions sound, don't worry...DR.Yeh has patience for us and will not let you leave unless all your questions are answered...Since day 1 it was clear my cycles were irregular, we went straight to ultrasounds. He said it was recommended to have a hysteroscopy done before we tried any kind of treatment...I felt like he has been the only Dr. who was able to find my problem. He was the 1st fertility Dr. i saw but since i was little ihad signs of PCOS and my Drs never seemed to figure it out. HE was amazing!!!! I have recomended him to a few friends.
They [nurses at Houston Fertility Institute] were very patient and answered all my questions. They have a patient portal to where we as patients can message them directly with questions. if they had the time to give me a call they would...IUI cost between 1200-4000 IVF cost 14000-30000. That was not including the medication needed...everyone has a smile at all times. They offer water and even crackers if yo go on an empty stomach.

Describe the protocols Jason Yeh used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
Since day 1 it was clear my cycles were irregular, we went straight to ultrasounds. He said it was recommended to have a hysteroscopy done before we tried any kind of treatment. While waiting for my hysteroscopy appointment we did blood and urine tests and found out i had PCOS, which made it hard for me to ovulate, after that my husband and i wanted IUI treatment but unfortunately when dong the hysteroscopy we found out my tubes were blocked, leaving us with only IVF as our only option. Due to the pandemic i haven't worked for a few months and in order to gather such an amount of money for IVF makes me feel sad. Already knowing i need such a treatment to conceive makes me feel less of a woman!

Describe Jason Yeh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
He mentioned i was high on egg production. He said while taking the eggs out they would try to take as many as they can at once in case it did't work the 1st time.
prior to my consult he [Dr. Yeh] took time and truly looked in all my medical information I filled previous to the meeting. He explained my endometriosis and also realized PCOS in my history in which I was never informed about. He was honest and explained my percentage with several treatments and didn’t waste my time or money before we went straight into IVF...He listens, he communicates, he gets to know who you are and not another number. You will never feel like you are a bother....
The clinic [Houston Fertility Institute] is one of the most organized and cleanest I have ever been in. Great location, no long wait times, flexible with your day to day work life...they go out of their way to calm you and explain what they are doing or seeing during exams or ultrasounds. Any questions or problems are quickly addressed in fast timely manner...I would always try to schedule as early as I could due to work schedule. Some days that time wasn’t possible. A quick phone call and other times or even other offices were offered for me to go to if is was closer to my work area for that day. They are very understandable and willing to work with you.
How was your experience with Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
All doctors prior never gave me hope or options to conceive my own child. At 34, my fears were coming true that I would never become a mother. Until I moved to Houston summer of 2018, I search and researched any hopeful options to give one last chance to conceive. September 2018 I had set up consult with Dr. Yeh and fully expected for him to be like many other previous doctors in giving me no answers or explanation to better my chances or even give me chances. I could tell prior to my consult he took time and truly looked in all my medical information I filled previous to the meeting. He explained my endometriosis and also realized PCOS in my history in which I was never informed about. He was honest and explained my percentage with several treatments and didn’t waste my time or money before we went straight into IVF. He always explained any surgeries or medication along with possible side effects or reasoning for each set. Even though I haven’t been successful yet after three transfers, I would never choose to reconsider any other doctor. At the beginning he didn’t make 100% promise this will work but he did promise he would do anything and everything he could to help me become the only thing I always longed for. So for him to even give me the chance to become a mother is more then any other doctor has given me. I would rather know I tried and gave all I could then just give up because conceiving isn’t as easy as I hoped to be. Dr Yeh gave me that chance, he didn’t just look at my medical history and consider me as a name on a paper with a medical history that was pointless to work with. He continues to fight for me and so I will continue to fight for my dream as well.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
This entire process is filled with highs and lows. Confusion and fears. Don’t be afraid to speak up and understand the process. The unknown can be scary but you have a doctor that takes time out to help you understand every you ask or need to be informed about. He listens, he communicates, he gets to know who you are and not another number. You will never feel like you are a bother. He wants success in his patients just as much as he patients want it.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
He took time out for any questions or concerns I had during the entire process. He would personally call with results that seem confusing and honestly tell the truth about the outcome good/bad.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I was so nervous the first few times in the beginning. But they go out of their way to calm you and explain what they are doing or seeing during exams or ultrasounds. Any questions or problems are quickly addressed in fast timely manner. They don’t just treat their job as 9-5 and go home. They cheer for your success in this whole process and sadly I had three unsuccessful FETS and they show compassion and words to keep going and not give up. A year ago I was stranger to anyone in the office, now I walk in asking about their kids and weekend. You create a bond and trust they you never knew you needed or would receive. The entire staff is amazing, I truly believe I would have given up if it wasn’t for many of them.
Describe your experience with Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
The clinic is one of the most organized and cleanest I have ever been in. Great location, no long wait times, flexible with your day to day work life. But as a new patient my first step into the office I was scared and nervous but I left that day feeling like I wasn’t alone and I had entire staff willing to help me in any way they could.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I would always try to schedule as early as I could due to work schedule. Some days that time wasn’t possible.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
To start it was around 14000, plus about another 5000 for the meds. Then slowly other fees came up, like the testing we decide to do, and had to decide before we even knew the number of embryos being tested so ended up testing 18 which added up quickly. Each transfer is around 3900 and meds another 1000-1500. I never expected to be into it over 30000 but it just all adds up especially when transfers fail and you keep having to do another. I wish I would have chosen a different payment package in the beginning but I never expected it to not work after all this.
Describe Jason Yeh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I believe going into the process, I wanted to transfer two.....then 9 months later with twins. But he outline the risk and also the fact my embryos were tested. The goal is a healthy baby, and I went in thinking it would all line up prefect and successful first FET. Well I was very wrong. I not only realized and understood the risk with transferring two but also the dream and expectations are far from what the result could end up being. I’m glad one was only transfer the last three FETS, but also glad to be given the option to choose two for my 4th and last transfer in hopes to become a mother. Sadly, I don’t know if starting all over to the beginning would be an option since my insurance covers NOTHING for ivf treatment. After all the cost of meds and back to back transfers that come with a huge toll on things. So I am glad to be able to give it all on my last chance
he [Dr. Jason Yeh] did not catch a pretty big error that his partner documented on a medical procedure and then took longer than expected to call me to explain...He explained all the statistics for each procedure and answered every question I had. Unfortunately, they don’t perform their own tests due to scheduling/timing, so another physician has to do some diagnostic testing. I had To have a hysteroscopy and tubal catheterization (like an hsg) with dr. Sandra bello and when I had My follow up with dr. Yeh, I was Told that my uterus and tubes looked normal. I thought Maybe he had a slip of the tongue (since I had Just had a left salpingectomy 2 weeks prior to seeing him for the first time) and didn’t think anything of it. I decided To schedule

I thought Maybe he had a slip of the tongue (since I had Just had a left salpingectomy 2 weeks prior to seeing him for the first time) and didn’t think anything of it. I decided To schedule a consult with another fertility clinic due to costs of IVF and picked up a copy of my report to fax. That’s when I realized That dr. Bello had documented that I had two normal appearing tubes with normal fill and spill. I called dr. Yehs office immediately and expected a phone call the same day (it was a Friday) and didn’t receive a call until Monday at 5:30pm. I have zero trust in my report and in my doctors and now I have To repeat the entire test again. It was a horrible experience and I will Never go back.
How was your experience with Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
He was very compassionate about my recent ruptured ectopic pregnancy and made my husband and I feel Like we would be taken care of very well. We felt safe after having issues with trust from doctors.

Make sure to get copies of all of your reports to verify accuracy.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
Because he did not catch a pretty big error that his partner documented on a medical procedure and then took longer than expected to call me to explain.
Describe the protocols Jason Yeh used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
He had recommended a estrogen antagonist (I believe) priming instead of a birth control pill start. I was Told that bcp can cause sleepy ovaries and in diminished ovarian reserve it’s not the best, which is why they use an estrogen priming. That’s all we really discussed because I didn't Continue treatment with his office and am going elsewhere.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Veronica )
She was very timely and answered me back every time I messaged Or called. She never took long to send my results or respond to my questions either, which was nice.
Describe your experience with Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
They have a great portal system, which is nice when sending messages and receiving important paperwork/documents. The appointments are easy to schedule and aren’t far out. They do not have sonographers to do ultrasounds, so it’s either the MA or RN which I find odd. I dont Feel comfortable having someone do an ultrasound on me that doesn’t have the necessary training. As a patient, you are paying a lot of money and I think A trained professional should be doing the scans. I also Had an MA as my “nurse” and it was apparent when I had Questions that she could not answer. They also don’t assign nurses, so you never really know who you are supposed to send messages to.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
IVF would have cost $13,600 but that’s all I can Remember. I had met my out of pocket max already, so I had Zero copays or out of pocket costs for the initial consult or diagnostic testing, but have zero fertility coverage so that would have been out of pocket.

What specific things went wrong at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I had a hysteroscopy with tubal catheterization done and the report originally stated that both of my tubes were normal in appearance and that both of them were functioning correctly (normal fill and spill). I had Just had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and had emergency surgery with a left salpingectomy, which was verified with a pathology report. I do Not have a left tube, yet it was documented that I did. They also had the wrong diagnosis on my report. Because of this, I have To have a repeat HSG on Monday. You need to have trust in your doctors and after this error there is no way I could Trust them again.

I took Gonal-f and menopur for 10 days. On day 5 I had to add Centritide to prevent ovulation. I responded very well to the medication. I went 3 days a week to get blood work and a follicle ultrasound to make sure everything was growing the was he wanted it to. I triggered with Lupron and Novarel on day 11 and proceeded with me egg retrieval on day 13. He was able to get 32 eggs and we fertilized 22 embryos for a future FET. Unfortunately I ended up with OHSS which he took very serious and checked on me every day and had me come in for testing to make sure it wasn’t severe.

Describe the protocols Jason Yeh used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I was on a mostly menopur protocol because of my age and response to the medication. I had 10 days of 5 vials of menopur and the 11th day 3 vials. Started cetrotide on day 6 to day 10. Did a Lupron trigger on the 11th day and again 12 hours later. Started a zpack on day 11. Egg retrieval was on day 13. We had 25 eggs retrieved, of which, 21 were mature. 19 Fertilized. 17 made it to day 5 or 6 for freeze. I started progesterone in oil shots, estradiol tablets, and patches before the frozen embryo transfer. We transferred 2 embryos. I am currently 5 weeks pregnant.

Yadira and Whitney have always been quick to respond to any questions we had. They gave us their direct extension and they always answered quickly as well as through email. They both are very caring and I wouldn't have wanted any other nurses on our team.
Describe your experience with Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
This clinic was very close to my home. They provided early morning bloodwork/ultrasounds so I could still make it to work on time. It's a very nice and cozy facility. Only thing negative i can think to say about it is the lack of cell service.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
IVF Cycle:
$13,600 excluding medication. Medication could run from $4,000-$7,000.
Describe Jason Yeh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
Dr. Yeh preferred to transfer one embryo because of my age and embryo quality/quantity. We had a meeting to go over the risks of transferring 2 embryos and to sign a deviation consent form.
Dr. Yeh is a fantastic doctor. He has been compassionate and uplifting through out both of my IVF cycles. I always feel better after I get to speak to him. He seems genuinely disappointed that my 2 PGS normal embryos failed. I had positive hcg bloodwork 7 days post transfer both times, then it failed to rise and I miscarried. He refers to my husband and I as “head scratchers.” He still feels like he can help us get pregnant and he would tell us if he felt otherwise.
This clinics [Houston Fertility Institute] strengths are promptness and flexibility for appointments. The patient portal is clear and a great way to communicate with the staff during the day. The only weakness I can think of would be feeling rushed at the end of the appointment. They are a small staff, so they have to move quickly to the next patient and they are very busy.... I have a good relationship with my coordinators. I am able to email questions and call and get the answers that I need regarding my treatment. Overall, it’s a good experience and I am taken care of.

Dr. Yeh is caring and eager to listen to every question that I have. He was just as devastated as my husband and I when our 2nd PGS normal embryo failed. He had tears in his eyes when we went in for a follow up visit.

Describe Jason Yeh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
My 2 IVF cycles both resulted in only one PGS normal embryo. So those were single transfers. When I do a 3rd IVF cycle, the plan is to skip PGS testing and do a fresh transfer of 2 embryos at a time.
[Dr. Jason Yeh] made me feel like he really cared and I wasn’t just a paycheck...decided on IVF and right away he did a full blood work work up. Genetic screening, stds, the works. A sperm analysis for my husband and a hysteroscopy for me...transferred only one and my second transfer would have been free due to a mess up with my embryos in the lab...we spent almost $30,000 for IVF.
No long waits, caring, compassionate, overall amazing. The office [Houston Fertility Institute] is clean and quiet. The staff is organized and understanding. They help in every way they can and make sure you’re completely comfortable...we transferred only one and my second transfer would have been free due to a mess up with my embryos in the lab...we spent almost $30,000 for IVF.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Yeh at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I’m total we spent almost $30,000 for IVF. Between medications $4,000-$6,000. Physicians fees $6,000, clinic fees $6,000, cost of procedure (retrieval, hysteroscopy, transfer) not 100% sure what they cost.
Describe Jason Yeh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
He recommended one embryo given my age and saying I had a very high chance of one attaching and if we transferred multiple there was also a very Hugh chance of multiples which I was not wanting so we transferred only one and my second transfer would have been free due to a mess up with my embryos in the lab.
[Dr. Yeh's] pedigree was impressive and important to us. He was a good communicator and made sure we understood anything he would tell us. He was also friendly and made difficult conversations easy to have, he was also quite funny...I believe he made the right decision for our case to transfer only one embryo...I triggered with leuprolide as my ovaries were already showing signs of hyper stimulation
Nurses were incredibly kind and sensitive. Answered as many questions as they could in a timely manner...18k total. 13,500 for the ivf cycle including retrieval and FET. 250$ for anesthesia. 4500$ for meds.
They merged with Aspire during my last weeks. It was nearly impossible to get anyone on the phone and that had never been the case before. Claims team was hard to deal with. My last appointment was in January and they just now submitted the claim which has stalled a refund they owe me.

Menopur 150 gonal F, and cetrotide. I triggered with leuprolide as my ovaries were already showing signs of hyper stimulation. After retrieval I was on the dotti patch, oral and vaginal estrogen and progesterone in oil shots 6 days before transfer. Prednisone before transfer. After transfer I continued with the estrogen and progesterone until week 11 of pregnancy.

My embryos would always implant but not grow. ... Dr Yeh listened to my case we did the ERA and I got pregnant with twins the following frozen transfer.
Very efficient and communication is great. Someone [at Houston Fertility Institute] always picks up the phone which is important to me. Or they will get back to you before the end of the day. Also very clean office. Morning wait is a bit long but wait times are usually under 30mins. ... [nursing staff] Very efficient, in fact I've never seen another office so efficient.

I saw him after 6 failed embryo Transfers elsewhere. My embryos would always implant but not grow.

My insurance only covers diagnostic so I had to pay full out of pocket for everything after the ERA test was done
[Dr. Jason Yeh is] Very pleasant, thorough, takes time to answer questions. We felt very comfortable with him. He was our assigned doctor at the Katy clinic but only saw him a couple times through our IVF which I was fine with. Dr.Kim or a nurse did most ultrasounds and another doctor did my retrieval. This clinic has great communication so I felt no issue being treated by multiple doctors.
The clinic nurses and doctors [at Houston Fertility Institute] take time to answer questions. It is a well run machine though and can feel a little less than personal...We did an IVF cycle that resulted in 10 embryos and 8 that made it to day five, with 5 coming back good after PGS...The communication with the patient portal could t be better, they make it so simple where you never have to doubt yourself or the next steps in the plan.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I liked how he [Dr. Jason Yeh] explained the process along with why things are done how they are. As a self professed science nerd, I enjoyed the little Powerpoint slides with visuals of pertinent fertility studies...so nice and efficient...we asked for two embryos. Dr. Yeh explained the risks. After the explanation, he let us go ahead with two after signing consent for 2.
The [Houston Fertility Institute] Kingwood location is between my house and my work, so it was very convenient for all the visits. I usually waited no more than 10 minutes. This made it easy to leave work and come back quickly. The nurses Yadira and Amber are very fast in responses to any emails or questions...I think I saw reviews about hidden cost. If you read the financial packet, it clearly states all costs. For IVF there was the doctor/clinic cost, anesthesia cost, and lab costs(if additional services requested). Everything was paid up front including extra for chromosomal testing. When we had the egg retrieval, there was an additional $250 cost for anesthesia.

Always read the handouts and the instructions given through the portal. Don't expect to know the exact schedule of treatment; it may be modified based on your bloodwork or ultrasound results.

Describe the protocols Jason Yeh used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I did 3 IUIs using a combination of oral medication and injections. All 3 failed for me. I decided to do IVF with a frozen embryo transfer. I was a tad disappointed to find out that after the egg retrieval in November, I would have to wait until January for my embryo transfer. But he stated it would be better to give my body a break from all those medications. I was so uncomfortable from the egg retrieval for about 2 weeks (my right ovary was behind my uterus which made it hard to retrieve), so I'm so happy we waited. Now almost 12 weeks pregnant with twins!
