Lisa Green

I have a significant trauma history and my partner and I are a queer couple, and she made me feel comfortable in opening up to her about some sensitive issues. She was compassionate and understanding and covered all the information making sure that she answered all our questions, and she encouraged us to reach out through MyChart if we came up with questions later as it was a lot of information to process at once. I was also sent a MyChart message from her following my appointment with all the information we covered so I could go back over it at any point.

We were unable to afford the treatment we were hoping to pursue, so the one piece of advice would be to be prepared financially if able to do so.

The only thing we have tried so far is doing AI on our own, and when that was unsuccessful for a number of tries, she started me on Letrozole 2.5 mg tablets. I took 2 tablets daily on cycle days 3-7, this way my body would be forced to ovulate, possibly releasing multiple eggs, and this would help increase my chances of conceiving. I have tried this twice, but both times we had issues with the sperm donor we had found, so no success.

From our visit video conference, I felt Dr. Green had a pleasant voice and demeanor. She asked a ton of questions to get a background on me and also my partner. My first virtual appointment lasted close to a hour. She recommended different testing that I hadn't done in a while to get an update for my records. My first in person appointment i felt comfortable as she performed the test because she kept the room light and talked me through what she saw. She came up with a plan that included different medications that my other doctor hadn't prescribed. I saw her for my IUI a month later. My IUI was unsuccessful so I wanted to move on to IVF. It took a while to get an appointment and I ended up with a virtual appointment. Dr. Green listened to me talk about not wanting another IUI and the success I could have with IVF. She explained the success rate with IVF and even told me about a grant through her clinic I could apply for. After our conversation, I felt like she had explained IVF to me in a way that she was also supporting my decision to move on. The next day I had appointment to update my labwork.

Be patient if you're not able to get an appointment right away.

One of Dr. Greens treatment strategies were using a higher dosage of medicine for my IUI cycle. After she looked over my old chart, she realized my previous doctor hadn't tried a certain medicine to take during my cycle nor a certain shot for ovulation. Her rationale was she wanted to overestimate my ovaries in order to have sperm meet an egg. The IUI was unsuccessful

I fortunately have infertility insurance so my co-pays haven't been that much. I did have to pay close to $600 upfront for a procedure that I was not told about when I made the appointment. I am currently waiting to see if my insurance will approve IVF.

We used Cryos International. We simply gave Cryos our doctors information and address and the sample was sent and arrived on time.

Dr. Green was very peppy and upbeat, she maintained a positive and encouraging -yet realistic attitude throughout my treatment. She explained things on a level my non-medical husband could understand, and was very thorough in laying out our options and odds of success for each pathway.

Write down questions before your visits. I always ended up sending another message to her full of questions I forgot to ask (which she patiently answered), but it would have been easier to ask in person during our visits.

Sperm motility was our main issue, after one failed IUI, we were able to move straight to IVF without having to go through a certain number of failed IUIs as I have heard others requiring...I am so thankful for that - from a money and emotional stand point. We chose to only implant one embryo at a time, for higher and safer odds, and though my baby was born prematurely - he was healthy and did not require a NICU stay. Our original plan was to do a fresh transfer, but I showed signs/developed ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome so we deferred to a frozen transfer to be safe.

For 1 round of IUI, and 1 round of IVF plus all medications my total cost out of pocket was probably $6-8k. Very lucky with my insurance.

Dr. Green recommended that we only transfer one embryo at a time, due to age and chance of splitting after implantation. She laid out all of the odds and risks associated with twin pregnancies (I also work in a NICU and was hyper-aware of these and did not want to take any chances). Ultimately she told us it was our decision but we agreed that we wanted to only implant one embryo at a time.

Dr. Greene was very outgoing and friendly but when it came to the medical terminology and explanations we felt that she took it all a little too quick. We wish that she would have slowed down to explain everything better for us.

Make sure that you are aware of all outcomes from your procedure and don't be afraid to ask questions... no matter how silly or repetitive.

The IVF nurses were the ones explaining protocol and treatment rounds to us.

I know that for our egg retrieval and FET, including medications we have spent about $17.500 out of pocket. We are waiting on an endometrial biopsy to figure out the next steps of our process. We have one frozen egg left to transfer and we will do that once all of our prior concerns and questions have been met.

Dr. Green always has a great personality and she always seems happy. She was very patient with me, always answers all my questions and takes very good care of her patients. I thank God for Dr. Green and her love for her patients.

She is a great doctor and will make you feel very special. Fertility is a touch subject and Dr. Green was always happy and cheerful, no matter what.

Dr. Green removed both of my Fallopian tubes in November of 2017. I took hormone pills until May of 2018, when Dr. Green cleared me to start IVF. At that time, my husband and I did not have the money to start and we have been saving every since. We pray God will make a way for us to start a cycle of IVF soon, this year.

My insurance paid for my surgery, but everything else has been out of pocket. My husband and I are still saving for our first cycle of IVF and praying!!

We have not experienced this part yet.

I feel like she has been very proactive about my treatment plan despite being her patient for a shorter time frame. She has contacted me directly to discuss various matters without me having to always go through a nurse to communicate.

Fully explain to her how you are feeling and that she will listen to your concerns.

So far I have only done timed intercourse with oral and injectable medication. On day 11 of my cycle I come into the office for a follicle ultrasound to determine progress.

Office visits, medication costs, procedure costs like uterine biopsy, bloodwork, regular ultrasounds.

The doctor was nice. She was respectful and kind. The clinic was disorganized, irresponsible and left me feeling frazzled every time. They misplaced my blood draws multiple times so I had to come again. They do have support groups, so that is nice but I do not like the way they function.

She is nice. Ask questions, she will listen and answer them the best she can.

I don’t remember specifics but I know we used Menupur and Gonal F.

Our insurance was at a 80% covered and 20% owed by us. We ended up spending around $3,000 out of pocket.

I am happy we did a single embryo transfer because we ended up with identical twins. They justify the number to transfer by your age

Dr. Green is very down to earth person that made us feel extremely welcomed the moment we met her. She was very thorough explaining our treatment options to us where we left actually understanding every option and process.

She's a great doctor and truly loves her job and she really wants to help you. And will! She doesn't rush you and she also adjusts everything according to your own circumstances. She doesn't cut you off when your talking and she gives you thorough information about everything. She gives you such confidence simply because she is so confident about working with you.

Do exactly what she says and great things will happen!

We started with the most cost effective and lowest easiest route first which included me taking femara for 4 months and then rechecking in to see where we were at. But I got pregnant on the second round and it didnt even take 4 while months.

Very minimal

Lisa green has been amazing throughout this whole process, she’s helped me in so many ways! From Opening up on a Sunday because I got a positive ovulation test, to being able to answer any and every question I have had. She’s an amazing doctor and I couldn’t imagine going through this without her.

She won’t let you down.

She prescribed me ovidrel trigger along with progesterone capsules to help support ovulation as well as she put me on a baby aspirin to help with implantation. I also take femara during cycle days 3-7. We tried this for 3 months and I got my positive pregnancy test today!

My insurance doesn’t cover most of the fertility treatment I have received so I’ve paid out of pocket for most everything and it’s been very affordable.

She’s an amazing and caring doctor. I feel she truly cares. She explains everything very well. She checks in and makes sure you don’t have any questions. She’s very detailed in everything. She includes you and your partner every step of the way.

Go in ready to listen to all your options

I never ovulated until I was increased to 7.5mg of femara and metformin was added

I love Dr.Green and have referred several people to her. She is warm, friendly and ver informative. We went over ever option and I felt very well informed. She even called herself to inform me of mine and my partners test results.

Just be honest and go in with an open and positive attitude

We started off with clomid and then moved to IUI. She worked with my financial situation

The cost are reasonable for the services. I found them to be less expensive as other clinics in the area

My experience with mrs green she is very polite understanding about me being high risk due to underlying condition explain to me to steps of fertility treatment what she recommends for my treatment will stay late just to call to talk to about test results next steps in treatment preparation

Just know that you are in good hands with care from mrs green she does everything she can to help you achieve becoming parents
