Dr. Dorais was so caring and personable. As I was going through our first miscarriage she was extremely sensitive and helpful through the process. She made personal phone calls to congratulate us after we found out we were pregnant (both times!). She thoroughly and carefully helped us understand the basic science behind why we weren’t able to get pregnant to that point and helped us understand our treatment options based on that understanding.
Our nurse [University of Utah] was very helpful and responsive. My questions (via their messaging software) were answered very quickly.... I loved how frequently we were able to meet with our Dr (not always common among other practices). I didn’t love some of the other doctors. I had to meet with one during an emergency Sunday ultrasound when I was miscarrying. He was very blunt and not very sensitive during this imaginably difficult time.
How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
Dr. Dorais is sweet and compassionate. I always felt well cared for and “heard” as her patient. She never pushed us into a treatment, it was always the pace that we were comfortable with.
She always had time for us and our questions. We never felt rushed during our visits with her.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
Feel empowered about your healthcare and treatment options because she will absolutely address them. I one time hesitated about a particular treatment and timing that she had recommended. She immediately sensed that and asked what our preference was and followed through with that.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
We used the highest dosage of Femara because all clomid dosages hadnt resulted in ovulation. Because of this she recommended we start with the highest dosage of femara and we were able to get pregnant immediately. The first pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage (HCG levels weren’t growing appropriately). Our second round we were able to get pregnant again.

Dr Dorais is an amazing doctor. I came to her with a diagnosis of unexplained fertility from a previous RE. She dug deeper and diagnosed me with endometriosis and my husband with low morphology. It was nice to finally have some answers. She was very open and compassionate. She did a great job of explaining things in layman terms. She laid out the options nicely and involved my husband and I in the decision making.
All of the nursing staff [at the Univ of Utah] have been very friendly and helpful. They are all very on top of things and very compassionate. At the clinic it is a nurse that performs the IUI. I've had the same nurse each time and she has been amazing. She explains things really well and answers all questions. She is compassionate and encouraging. She was also good at keeping an awkward and stressful situation very light.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
We have only been seeing her for a few months so we do not have any positive pregnancy tests yet, but I am hopeful. After discussing our previous treatments and tests and some of my current symptoms she gave the option to dig a little deeper. I was put on birth control and had a laparoscopy done that same month. She found a mild case of endometriosis. She gave us the option to try naturally or with drugs and IUI. She suggested the IUI's because I was more fertile after have the excision of endometriosis. We tried one month naturally and are now onto our 2nd IUI.

Dr. Dorais was a real compassionate knowledgeable doctor....She treated me so kindly. She made sure that we were on the same page through every appointment, that if i had any questions i knew she was available to answer.... We took it slow because it was my first time and i only had 1 ovary. She really didn't want to overstimulate it....Everything went smooth and we were happy with the 10 eggs we got.... She made sure i understood everything and what would happen next.
I loved it [U of Utah]. Very clean and nice...My nurse was incredible. She took the brunt of all the craziness and medications. I would email her and she took the time to call me back not email me. It was nice to talk to a real person. She was so organized and help me understand all my levels during the monitoring appointments....It was about 9000 for the IVF cycle...She [Dr. Dorais] took her time, and never made me feel like a burdened.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
I was on stims medications for a long while. We took it slow because it was my first time and i only had 1 ovary. She really didn't want to overstimulate it. We finally up the dosage and were ready for ER a couple of days later. Everything went smooth and we were happy with the 10 eggs we got. Sadly by day 5 only 2 survived. I reached out to Dr. Dorais because i didn't want to spend money on freezing one and transferring the other. I got to talk with her over the phone and we decided that transferring 2 was a much better option. Sadly we got a BFN but met with her right after to discuss next steps.

She [Dr. Dorais] was so kind and sweet and we really felt like she cared. We trust her very much!...She made us feel very comfortable and we trust her judgement. We did 3 IUI treatments with her, as well as a laparoscopy after the 3 failed IUIs which diagnosed some Endo, and we had to have a tube removed. She took great care of us and her bedside manner was SO great! She always made us feel more relaxed, and hopeful...We loved Jessie.
we've decided to stay at the U [of Utah] because of how great our experience has been with the clinic. The wait time is hardly anything, and the communication is excellent, which is very important to me....[Nurses] Very sweet and VERY responsive....Our IUI cycles were around 260 I believe + cost of ultrasound, and trigger shot with meds were less than $40. Surgery costs were as expected...costs at the U seem competitive with other clinics around us.

I never had to wait long for my appointment [at U of Utah]. They were great with scheduling and in passing along any info to my doctor.

She [Dr. Dorais] was the first fertility specialist I seen and She helped me feel at ease when I was in difficult situations. She performed my DNC for me as well as lots of testing. She was great at communicating my results, I just wish she would have been a bit more proactive in my treatment plan, kind of left things up in the air...She took the time to explain things to me. I seen her at every apt. And she had a very caring nature about her.
They [U of Utah] were upfront with costs and easy to work with. Quick to call with lab results and keep in contact with when needed. A friendly atmosphere. One weakness is that to get an initial consult it can take months. Strengths would be very professional and communication was open if you asked questions. The clinic was nice in that they could do everything there all your labs and procedures which made things convenient.

She [Dr. Dorais] was very up to date on new procedures. She was very clear in her explanation of the whole process. She moved at our speed and what we wanted. She listened and advised based on what we were comfortable with. She encouraged us, struggled with us and just showed so much compassion.... she was aggressive, but careful. I never felt unnecessarily poked or prodded.... She was very attentive to my concerns. She answered every question in a manner that we could understand.
The clinic [U of Utah] is very matter of fact. It feels like a doctor's office, and not in a good way. I would have preferred a more serene environment. The fees seemed high and a lot of billing issues came up. I would have preferred only seeing 1 doctor, but you get rotated through all of them.... They [nurses] rotated frequently between all the doctors so it was always someone different. I would have preferred the same nurse.

we don’t see Jessie [Dorais] very often. We know she is the one making all the decisions in the background & she is very on top of everything. She is very prompt in answering emails & answers all our concerns...is very understanding & no question is a stupid question...She started with doing just timed Intercourse with CLOMID. Once that didn’t work she said we would do 3 cycles of an IUI. & if that didn’t work, we shouldn’t do more than 3 & that we should move onto IVF
Each IUI procedure costs approx $1100 With IVF we are looking at about $10,000 [at Utah Fertility Center]...Strength: very helpful & answers all questions at visits Weakness: doesn’t answer the phones very promptly & sometimes won’t call back. It can be very frustrating with how time sensitive this whole thing is...They [nurses] just don’t call with results all the time & sometimes rely on you to call them...They aren’t very prompt at returning phone calls.

She was very understanding that we were self pay and was coming up with the best route for us with no insurance. She never treated us like a number and was always very compassionate.... She takes the time to explain every option to us. She is very thorough and kind.
We love absolutely everything about the clinic [Utah Fertility Center- Murray]. The only downside is us having to self-pay which results in a lot of confusing charges. We are not always told upfront how much things are going to cost. We usually do them first and are told how much it is later....IUI - $875 Timed intercourse - $540 Medications ???

Jessie Dorais genuinely cares about her patients and their outcomes. If I didn't get the results we we're hoping to obtain we adjusted my treatment plan and were more aggressive with my medications the next cycle. I wasted too many cycles with a previous RE who didn't change my protocol month to month even after my body didn't respond appropriately. Dr Dorias listens and kept me informed...Jessie genuinely cares about her patients and their outcomes.
Good communication and responded in an appropriate time frame. Availability worked well with my schedule. Flexible. Friendly front desk staff. I would recommend Utah center for reproductive medicine to anyone who is seeking good quality, and compassionate Care during this hard infertility journey...They billed my insurance correctly to minimize any additional costs and coded it related to PCOS and not necessarily infertility treatment...

She adjusted the plan of action whenever things needed to change. During difficult conversations, she was very sensitive to my feelings and was always very understanding! I would recommend her to anyone!
This clinic [Univ of Utah] was organized and on top of my care. I feel that they could make it a more personal experience when going to the clinic. It sometimes felt not as personal as other clinics. I also feel like the environment was very sterile and not friendly.... IUI cost around 300 a time. Ivf was a base cost of 9000 with around 3000 in medications and another 3000 for frozen transfer.

UFC has been great to work with! The nurses have all been really sweet and kind when I go into the office...only weakness is that they are soo busy! I usually have to wait several weeks to see the Dr. because she is just so busy...always so kind and never make me feel shameful for having to go down this journey

Dr. Dorais is kind and compassionate. I can tell she enjoys what she does and passion in a field where they want to help people, is very admirable to me. In one of my most recent conversations with Dr. Dorais, we found out some really dis-heartening news. I was distraught and she helped me go through ALL my options and said that she would support however I wanted to proceed but also let me know the risks. She also said that we could do the same test again, free of charge just for me to have the piece of mind going forward with the next steps! Absolutely incredible if you ask me.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center (Ivy Fertility Network clinic)?
The 2 interactions I have had so far with Dr. Dorias have been over the phone and I was so scared and nervous while waiting for that first phone call. I cried many times during that meeting because this journey has been so emotional for me but not once did she tell me to stop crying or make me feel like my feelings werent valid. I felt heard and understood in my feelings. (I am a very emotional person by nature so someone who can care for my emotions delicately, is very big for me). Dr. Dorias never lets me leave a call without making sure all my questions are answered and that I feel good about our plan going forward. She makes an effort to connect with me and take time to do so even though I know she is probably so busy with other patients.

I usually have to wait several weeks to see the Dr. because she is just so busy. They are one of the best in Utah Valley though and I have never had to delay any fertility treatments because of the busy-ness but just something to be aware of.

She [Dr. Jessie Dorais] is the most caring and compassionate caregiver I’ve ever had. So much so, that when our treatments would fail, I felt like I was letter her down, like I would with a parent or someone close to me. The very best bedside manner and so kind.... Make sure you are getting the cold hard facts. She’s so caring about you as a person that that sometimes it was hard to get the daunting truth out of her because she didn’t want to let you down.
Clinic [University of Utah- SLC] is well organized, very easy to get results and contact providers with their app. Clinic is also very researched based. They bring a ton of statistics into the appts.

Dr. Dorais was so compassionate. ... She always had our best interest at heart. ... She was concerned about us emotionally and financially and allowed us space to make the best decisions for us. She always fully informed us of treatment plans and back-up treatment plans. ... If I was ever frustrated at a bad outcome of a procedure or with the whole IVF process, the second we sat down with her, all my frustrations melted away.
They [Utah Fertility Center] rarely answer phones when you call the first time and you have to wait a while for responses. Other than that, they go above and beyond to make sure you have information you need and that you feel comfortable there. They get to know the patients and treat them like good friends. ... My IVF coordinator only worked part-time, so it took a long time to get communication back and forth from her.

Just go to her!!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center (Ivy Fertility Network clinic)?
Dr. Dorais made us feel like she really knew us. We mentioned once that my husband ran track and a year and a half later she asked us about it. She remembered everything we told her whether it was personal or clinical. She always said hi when she saw us and I knew she was emotionally invested in our case.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Utah Fertility Center (Ivy Fertility Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Shailee Taylor)
The nursing staff is amazing! My IVF coordinator only worked part-time, so it took a long time to get communication back and forth from her. I knew everyone who worked there and got to really feel comfortable and loved by the staff.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center (Ivy Fertility Network clinic).
I had great insurance that covered most of our treatments. IUI without insurance was around $800, but with insurance we usually paid around $200 out of pocket. Dr. Dorais helped us qualify for an IVF study that ended up only costing us up to $5,000 which was amazing. There were medicines in between all of that as well as costs for ultrasounds, etc. but with insurance it was manageable for us.
