Success w/ Doc Too early to know
Dr. Nurudeen is kind and very nice in office. She went over my entire medical history (that i pre-filled before the consult). I had already done a TON of my own research before going in so she really didn't provide any answers to suggestions that I didn't already know. It seems pretty straight forward. I am a women married to another woman and we are using donor sperm for family building.
[Aspire Houston Fertility Institute] Clinic is fine. Overall very clean. The front desk person just signs you in and you pay immediately. It doesn't really make me feel all warm and cozy inside but everyone is nice. I think overall, most people are compassionate to this type of medical care but I think I will always feel like a number.
How was your experience with Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
Overall, I specifically chose Dr. Nurudeen. However, it was not mentioned to me or my wife until my 2nd or 3rd appointment for blood work and ultrasound that she would be going on maternity leave in the next month or so. I didn't even know she was pregnant during our initial consultation just the month before. I was very upset to hear this from the nurse. I would have been more understanding to know this information during our consultation. We mentioned we wanted to start our IUI attempts in May or June and she never mentioned that she would be out at the end of April and wouldn't return until sometime in June. I also didn't know until very recently, that you get the "luck of the draw" when it comes to your actual IUI anyway. It's whoever is working the clinic that day.. I was very upset. So many details were not made clear and upfront during our consultation.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
Do your own research. Ask a bunch of questions and have her be SPECIFIC about what to expect during your cycle treatment. I still to this day get new information and surprises along the way. I think I've done more crying than being happy so far. And I'm only a couple months into my pre-work up. I haven't started the attempts yet.

Describe the protocols Kemi Nurudeen used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
Currently not on a protocol yet. Our plan is to do unmedicated IUI. However, i did have to go on birth control 6 weeks before my hysteroscopy which i did not want to do. I have very regular cycles and wanted to be unmedicated and now that has already changed.
How competent was Kemi Nurudeen at LGBTQ+ care?
I felt like she treated me and my wife the same as she would anyone else. I didn't get any feelings otherwise.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Asia and Sarah)
Very compassionate for sure. No issues with them on a personal level. Just have been upset with the lack of clear information provided from the start. Every time we go in for blood work or a follow up, we find out some new information that can be detrimental to us being able to move forward. Whether that is how they schedule appointments, how often we have to come in (unrealistic for those who have jobs!) and the financial part of it all.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I don't have exact costs yet but i was quoted: Non medicated IUI 1,400 per cycle Medicated IUI $1700 per cycle. IUI treatment plans vary from 1400 to 2800 and does not include price of medications. It has been a 40 dollar co pay each time I go in. I've been 3 times. All my lab work through insurance has been 500 dollars. Fee for MD for hysteroscopy 517 Facility fees with insurance 260 (it's through the hospital system of which I work) Awaiting anesthesia quote for hysteroscopy. Reciprocal IVF was out of our reach at 16,000 per cycle ..
Describe Kemi Nurudeen's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
Not doing IVF.
How competent was Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) at LGBTQ+ care?
They seem to have knowledge of our needs. Ours have been pretty straight forward as I have never had reproductive issues. We are having to go through the process just because we want to do IUI with a sperm donor and don't want to do home insemination. It seems very over the top and unnecessary for us to go through all of this but we are doing what is necessary to have the IUI performed. Our labs and diagnostics have confirmed this but we feel like we are going to an infertility clinic and being worked up for all the possible issues when so far we have none. It's frustrating.
Describe your experience using 3rd party reproduction (donor eggs, donor sperm, or gestational carrier) at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
So far, since my labs are back and CMV and genetic results are posted, we have chosen a donor. We haven't gotten far into treatment yet to be able to attest to how things are going but I'd be happy to follow up on this in the future!
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).
Lack of specific information up front. 1) specific doctor will be gone on maternity leave during our IUI dates 2) my insurance doesn't cover their specific surgery clinic (Piney woods) and have to have my hysteroscopy performed elsewhere which delayed by work up 3) having to go on birth control despite telling them in my consult that I didn't want to be put on any meds for first couple IUI attempts. However had to go on BC to not risk jeopardizing my hysteroscopy results and losing a lot of money to have it redone 4) finding out IUI's are performed by luck of the draw clinic schedule.

Success w/ Doc Not sure
I felt that I had to come up with the ideas and adjustments that ultimately led to my success. She [Dr. Kemi Nurudeen] is overall very approachable, friendly, and accommodating. I really appreciated her bedside manner...was at all times, professional and kind...I didn’t feel that she was particularly innovative or following our case closely enough to make small adjustments etc. I felt that any changes that occurred were based on my own ideas (to which she agreed)...She was attentive and listened to our concerns.
Test results were almost always published appropriately [by the staff at Houston Fertility Institute]. There were a few rare occassions when they weren’t posted. I was given major attitude the few times I called to ask about them...Seems like a factory...The very first thing they say after hello, is the sum of your bill. No real explanation of the bill. Just the sum total. If you have q’s the financial counselor will come up to the front desk and openly state whAt you owe...I was not impressed by the medical assistants at HFI overall. I think they are good at ultrasounds but their bedside manner is severely lacking.
How was your experience with Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
She was kind, empathetic, professional. She seemed young in her practice. Didn’t seem as evidence based- when discussing novel therapies would state that “the clinic had success with x,y,z” but wasn’t able to elaborate on the supporting evidence or mechanism of action. Sometimes she would get confused on my medical details or the things we discussed. I’m Sure it’s hard to juggle so many patients but this reminded me why people regard hfi as a factory rather than a personal experience. I did end up having success here and I am forever grateful for that but I felt that I had to come up with the ideas and adjustments that ultimately led to my success. She is overall very approachable, friendly, and accommodating. I really appreciated her bedside manner
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
Come with a lot of open ended questions and let her response (rather than you filling in what your specific ideas are).
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
Dr Nurudeen was at all times, professional and kind. She was attentive and listened to our concerns.

Describe the protocols Kemi Nurudeen used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
Antagonist protocol with estrogen priming. Followed by second antagonist protocol going above max dose meds (above gonal/ menopur 300)
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I was not impressed by the medical assistants at HFI overall. I think they are good at ultrasounds but their bedside manner is severely lacking. I felt like I was bothering them any time I spoke to them in person. I think they only like to be asked q’s over email or the phone. I found them to be very cold (especially compared to my old clinic). On more than one occasion, I was made to feel badly about the scheduling of my appts. I have a tough work schedule and dr nurudeen was made aware of this at our initial consult. She assured me that it wasn’t a problem. The MAs however, felt differently and routinely pointed that out to me. It was clear that though dr nurudeen had said things were fine with my schedule, the MAs were free to make comments to me. I was taken aback on my very first lab visit where one of the MAs pointed at me and said that everyone was stuck there working late because of me. I don’t think the doctors have any control or say really, in how the MAs treat or speak to their patients. From Then on, I knew that this would strictly be a “working relationship” and that these were not staff who I could consider friends or “teammates”

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
[Dr. Nurudeen] is great at what she does. She always explains the plan and what is best moving forward in her opinion. She is always confident in her responses. I would like to have an experience where she performs all procedures instead of covering doctors who sometimes perform the procedures...I don't have many health problems so we did esterace, Minivelle patches, and low dose aspirin at first then PIO injections getting closer to transfer.
Strength [of Aspire Houston Fertility Institute] would be the doctor and the MA Judy. Weakness would be the new staff being confused with everyday tasks. I've had difficulty with the new secretary, new phlebotomist and things changing like new way of charging patients for visits. Seems to be confusion on that as well...The staff is good about responding to messages on the prelude app...I specifically notified clinic twice of insurance changes and even let them know ahead of time to avoid any confusion but the second insurance was never verified until day of appointment where I had to wait over an hour to get seen

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).

As with any fertility treatment the cost is high for IUI, IVF, and any procedures completed.

Dr. Nurudeen was very nice to consult with during formal consultations. I feel like she would listen to my concerns and make some adjustments to my treatment plans. During clinic days though, she seemed very rushed and was only in the room for 3 minutes to scan me. I felt like she was in too much of a hurry for me to ask many questions.
Appointments [at Aspire Houston Fertility Institute] were in the morning from 8-11. Phlebotomist does blood draw (never missed in 2 years and multiple cycles)...I did not like how the financial counselor blew off the "bundle package" when talking to me before starting this journey because "I would not need that". I didn't even really get a chance to consider it. Turns out, I did need it and there was really no way to opt back in-therefore I ended up spending more money than the bundle package.

Dr. Nurudeen was very nice to consult with during formal consultations. I feel like she would listen to my concerns and make some adjustments to my treatment plans. During clinic days though, she seemed very rushed and was only in the room for 3 minutes to scan me. I felt like she was in too much of a hurry for me to ask many questions. I thought this was how the clinic ran because maybe it was overbooked, but I had her colleague scan me a few times when she was at a different site and he was so pleasant and would stop to talk to me for a few minutes. I wish Dr. Nurundeen would have done that, because I felt like I was in a factory at times.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
Write your questions down before your appointments to try to ask her in person. It will be the only time you get to talk to her, otherwise everything is through the MA who sometimes doesn't communicate the correct information.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?
While Dr. Nurundeen was very nice while she was talking to me, during each of my US appointments, she was always running into the room to scan really quickly and then would run back to her office. It seemed like she was only in the room for 3 minutes. There was very little humanizing small talk. Because I knew she would only be in the room for mere minutes, I had to quickly think of any questions I might have. I was only able to talk to her in person. Any other questions I had would have to go through the MA who sometimes would not ask the question I wanted to know. This was frustrating to not feel like I could really talk to my doctor.
Describe the protocols Kemi Nurudeen used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
Estrogen shots, pills, patches, vaginal pills to thicken endometrial lining.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Asia)
Asia was lovely to work with. She was very compassionate. I did 95% of my communication with her. Only 1-2 times did she mess up the message I was trying to leave for the doctor over the course of 2 years. She was always on top of my medications-never messed up medicines and she was always great about scheduling my appointments around my work schedule. She was a great scanner too-she scanned me so many times she was able to quickly find my ovary that was in a weird location making it pain free compared to people who did not scan me routinely.
Describe your experience with Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I picked this location and Dr. Nurundeen particularly because they have a large number of clinics and therefore had one located near my job and on located near my house. Dr. Nurundeen goes to both making it more convenient for me for monitoring appointments. The surgical center is located far from my house so I had to give myself injections in the car on the way to some of my procedures. In hindsight, I did not like how the financial counselor blew off the "bundle package" when talking to me before starting this journey because "I would not need that". I didn't even really get a chance to consider it. Turns out, I did need it and there was really no way to opt back in-therefore I ended up spending more money than the bundle package.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
Appointments were in the morning from 8-11. Phlebotomist does blood draw (never missed in 2 years and multiple cycles). MA or MD does ultrasound. Appointments are usually very fast. I scheduled appointments for either the very first slow or around 10 so very little waiting time.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
$50,000 as nothing was covered by insurance. Includes 2 retrieval cycles, 3 transfers, genetic testing of embryos x2 (flat rate for 8 embryos at a time), ERA testing, medications
Describe Kemi Nurudeen's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).

As nurse, I am aware of quality patient care. With Dr. Nurudeen , she made feel more like a human than my oncologist.

HIF clinic does not have a good front office personnel. My experience would depend a lot on her mood toward people differently. In addition, the waiting time in the afternoon was super long.

Dr nurudeen is always positive and really explains what is going on with my body. After meeting with her my husband and I always feel optimistic and reassured. From the very beginning we felt we could trust her and her recommendation for treatment... Lupron 40 ml, gonal F 300, menopur 300. Injections were given in my lower abdomen and found that my follicles were not responding as well as originally thought. Switched injections to the arm and at the next ultrasound they were growing better. Retrieved 6 eggs, 4 fertilized, 3 embryos, 2 arrested, 1 blastocyst.
The clinic has multiple locations that are very convenient. Flexible schedule. Hfi assurance program is the incentive that led me to go with this clinic. Since my first cycle failed I am relieved of some of the fees that I paid for during my first cycle. Overall, I would recommend this clinic to those struggling with infertility.... She was very compassionate, thought outside of the box and always answered my questions to her full understanding. Made me feel comfortable.

My husband and I both agreed to genetic testing and did not receive the results. When asked the nurse said he didn’t get genetic testing done and then they “found” the results and I asked for mine and they said I did not get tested but since my husbands results were normal I did not require testing.

Success w/ Doc Not sure
She [Dr. Nurudeen] was hopeful and aggressive with pretreatment. I actually really loved working with her...I especially felt comfortable with her because she is Black and I just did not see many black women REs around. She was understanding and extremely encouraging. She is thorough as well...[Eset Approach] It was more of a “we will see when we get there” but she did prefer single transfer
I did not like the operations of that particular office [HFI - Mem Hermann]. They were nice but inattentive to a lot of important things...the office and in the group, they have a central number so it’s hard to know who you will reach at what facility or who is taking care of what....They also at one point forgot to add an Amh to my blood work and I had to go back in and draw. That made me very upset.

Describe the protocols Kemi Nurudeen used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic) and their degree of success.
The thing that changed for me when I saw her as opposed to my first doctor was not only was I on metformin and vite for my metabolic disorder, but she added ancillary treatment such as acupuncture, dhea, and other prenatal elements to help with follicle development
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
I never knew who I would be talking to. There was not one set coordinator to discuss everything thing with. I would have been good having two coordinators, but it seemed like there was often some one different who I had to review things with. They also at one point forgot to add an Amh to my blood work and I had to go back in and draw. That made me very upset.
Describe your experience with Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
They, like a lot of other American clinics don’t give you the cost up front. It seem like they wait ( in my case) until you have the follicle count that you need to get you excited about it all then talk about cost. It’s like they know you will do anything to start. Not consider that this could be the very thing that halts the process. Talk money by the end of the consultation week. Because if your insurance doesn’t cover it or you’re not loaded in dough, it’s gonna cause a lot of problems.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
My insurance took care of diagnostic things but I had to meet the deductible. I really don’t remember what I paid to see her, but they do give military /vet discount. The co pay was horrible. 35 every visit and if you talked to the doctors over the phone it was 50.

  • Failed to order appropriate test

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic).
They just did not run as efficiently as I expected. The other issue I had was their lack of knowledge on how to help clients do this as efficiently and as methodically as possible. There was no real guide. It was just a reading through the paperwork and trying to figure it out myself. On top of that their specific pharmacy did not have the meds available if I wrote to start when I did so if some one ready to start that would have been an incredibly disappointing delay in treatment.

Later you’ll go in for blood work & that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Met back with the doctor for review of what happened and what’s next option wise. Found out I have an unsolved mystery reason. Hoping to do IVF soon. As a pair of teachers we are looking for affordable options.

She [Dr. Nurudeen] sat down with us and explained everything, answering any and all questions and concerns without rushing us. She was kind and had such a pleasant demeanor. She was realistic yet optimistic...Everything about her was amazing. Her knowledge, her attention to detail, her timeliness in going over results, her demeanor towards us, and her general attitude. She has an amazing bedside manner and really makes you feel like she genuinely wants to see you successful.
I had my monitoring appts in the sugar land location [of Houston Fertility Institute], and it was often a hit or miss. One thing I will say is they were very diligent in responding to messages...They are very organized. Everything you need is in the portal, and they are great at communication. The appts are very quick and I was able to get my monitoring done during my planning period at school...I think we paid around 25k total including meds, egg retrieval, and both our FETs.

This was supposed to be an IUI cycle that I first underresponded to, and then over responded. She gave us the option of cancelling the IUI, or going for IVF. We chose the latter after a phone consult with her.

There was no "sugar-coating" things and Dr. Nurudeen spoke to me as a patient and not another doctor when using medical terms. Step-by-step processes were given so I wasn't waiting to see what was next in the process....she told us the risks and benefits of a singleton vs multiples but told me I would be fine carrying either. She was opposed to putting in more than 2 embryos... Professional, friendly, caring, knowledgeable...
No weaknesses in my book. Location was perfect for getting the league city area patients. Clean and updated and seemed to have all the tools they needed. Wish they had the ability to do procedures there ... All staff [at HFI] was very friendly and addressed you as if you were family. They tried to remember (and were successful) on what we were up to in our personal lives... [RN's] Welcoming, compassionate and knowledgeable .
How was your experience with Kemi Nurudeen at Aspire Fertility - Houston Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)?

I do not remember the names of the medications and the step by step process is a bit blurry but I can do my best: Had a consult including my ultrasound and notice my follicles not fully developing to ovulate, had my husband do a sperm sample as well. Results came back which called for IVF for best chance of pregnancy. Histerscopy (spelling), shots in the belly to develop follicles, egg retrieval, progesterone shots for ~12 weeks in the hip with the embryo placement within the 12 weeks.

She [Dr. Kemi Nurudeen] listened to me, answered all my questions. I was not sure of some of her recommendations though. I met her in person only twice through out my IUI's. Most of my conversations with her were on the phone.... 3 IUI cycles with letrozole. Initially 5 mg daily and the next two were 7.5 mg daily. Also was started on levothyroxine for subclinical hypothyroidism.

Dr. Nurudeen's dedication to her work and patients is outstanding. Having to deal with hundreds of hormonally challenged, emotional women on a daily basis should win her a medal of honor. She takes each case personally and fights to make miracles happen for each and every one of them...'m sure I wasn't her most challenging case, but she never made me feel any less important.
Houston Fertility Institute- Clear Lake's strength is how well they educate their patients, and take time explaining everything. The only negative part of our experience was only have one donor egg make it. I would want a new patient to know they are in good hands...The nursing staff at HFI- Clear Lake is amazing. I had a million questions and they answered every one of them. They truly care about their patients. I will never be able to thank them for all they have done.

The first round of IVF I wasn't responding to the shots administered in my stomach. The second round we did the shots in my arm and I responded better at first. We got 4 eggs and two were normal but did not fertilize. We bought 8 donor eggs and only one made it.
