Lowell Ku

The third time truly was the charm. We lucked out since not only was Ku recommended to us, but he also took our insurance. Every consult gave us a clear path to pursue. After my wife’s first transfer and miscarriage with him, knowing our history of loss, he recommended a great surrogacy agency that they worked with. When our own surrogate did not take our first embryo, he discovered that our previous embryologist had frozen our embryos too soon. Instead the hour thaw before transfer, he thawed over night so they could develop further. All three embryos jumped from low Bs to High A ratings. Our second transfer with our GC resulted in the birth of our daughter. He is also a partner with the Dallas Walk of Hope, and because we joined his team he matched all funds we raised up to $500 for the Resolve Fundraiser. With his help we raised over $1200 last year. I can’t recommend Dr. Ku enough to anyone I know who lives in DFW or can make the drive to see him.

Dr. Ku is for real. It’s okay to hope again.

As said before, after our GC lost our first transfer, he was able to discover the problems with our embryos were due to the poor techniques of our previous embryologist. His plan to thaw our embryos overnight instead of the hour before transfer is what resulted in the birth of our daughter.

Costs were typical for what we spent but applied toward our deductible with BCBSTX. Most consults costed us just under $200. Certain procedures went anywhere in the $2500 to $5000 range

Ku prefers eSET, as it is less risky to the mother/GC’s health and the ability for them to have a healthier and safer pregnancy.

I love that during the consults he draws out his explanation and includes the choices to let us as a couple decide. Even with terrible failures he was always hopeful to keep trying. I truly wish money wasn't an issue to try again. Because I would trust what he recommended and work my schedule around somehow to accommodate. I appreciated how much he felt like he cared for us as his patients

Don't wait as long as we did for a consult because of fear. Constantly ask questions.

Clomid+follistim+trigger+IUI, I have one fallopian tube post surgery, healthy, active and young, no medical problems No result IVF cycle follistim, menopur, trigger, ICSI. 3 eggs retrieved, none made it to blastocyst

They were fast and routine. The ultrasound tech or the doctor performing were always good about explaining what we're looking at and if things are progressing as planned

$50 copay each visit And then whatever remainder next visit if insurance doesn't pay. $300 for IUI The rest of the IVF totals depended on what you had done

He advised to do one embryo at a time to be safe, offer stability for pregnancy and less risk to mom or encouraging high risk pregnancy with multiples unnecessarily

Dr. Ku is a very kind and experienced doctor. He is very thorough, explained things well, and very skilled with all procedures. He always seemed to be rooting for my success and I appreciated that very much.

He’s a great doctor and that’s why the clinic is always so darn busy.

He adjusted estrogen/progesterone doses to help with successful implantation and was NOT quick to cancel the cycle when we noticed the embryos stopped growing. During the retrieval process he was able to adjust the meds as needed for optimum follicle growth.

Painfully expensive and not covered by my insurance at all

He wanted me to be successful and increase my chances by transferring 2 embryos.

Dr. Ku is the absolute best! We received his name through a recommendation and am so glad we came. Before coming we were lost and confused. We had 2 miscarriages and wanted to understand why this was happening. From the first appointment Dr. Ku made it clear he was with us for the long haul to figure out what was happening. Because if him, we not only found new things out about each of us, but finally felt hopeful for our future with growing our family. Dr. Ku is willing to meet with you to talk about anything and everything. I will (and have) recommended Dr. Ku to friends!

Come in open minded!

IVF is a very daunting thing to take on. Dr. Ku’s office does work with you some on this. They will allow you to break up your payment into smaller payments ahead of your cycle if you are not able to pay for it at once. They also have access to an ‘in network’ facility if you have coverage for infertility.

Dr. Ku has recommended that we do a single embryo transfer as we have high chances of it being successful. I am young, and have been able to get pregnant previously. Our struggle has been the maintaining. While I wanted twins, Dr. Ku shared that he would absolutely follow that if we wanted it, but that the chances don’t increase by much doing that and that my health might be affected.

I love Dr. Ku's personality and how warm and welcoming he is. He makes really scary and nerve-wracking experiences easy to handle because of his encouragement. The only negative that I have ever experienced with him was one thing in my blood work appeared to be overlooked so I called and spoke to him for clarification. He explained how my protocol would change because of the finding and we moved forward. He is a great doctor and I highly recommend him to anyone in the area.

He covers a lot of information but if you have other specific concerns come with them written down and make sure to ask.

When we start our IVF cycle (after COVID) I will be on Gonal F, Menopur, Cetrotide. We will be doing a freeze all cycle with ICSI and PGA testing.

I remember initial consult to be $300 and SA was $100. We were also quoted $900 for a HSC.

We haven't gotten far enough into our treatment to discuss eSET or multiple.

The only complaint as a patient is the perpetual tardiness we experienced when visiting with Dr. Ku. Oftentimes this was frustrating. However, Dr. Ku was very apologetic each time. This is merely a blimp on our perspective of Dr. Ku overall. Dr. Ku is incredibly compassionate and feels like he is on this journey with us. We feel educated and empowered to make our decisions throughout treatment while following his guidance. It has been a blessing to find Dr. Ku and cannot imagine going through this journey without his care.

With Dr Ku, this journey feels just a little less scary because of the level of care he has for his patients/families. We highly recommend him.

During IUI, we used injectable medications to produce higher/larger follicle count. Also suppository progesterone. During IVF treatment, multiple injectable medications were used for egg retrieval process as well as transfer treatment. Including progesterone in oil, blood thinning drug, and oral estrogen. Injectable medications were prescribed during IUI due to the power numbers of follicles. Higher dosages or medications were used during IVF because of low response.

Monitoring appointments were thorough and provided opportunity to ask questions and get clarity. We felt informed about everything that was happening along the way.

Total cost of 3 IUIs, egg retrieval, a fresh transfer, and frozen transfer was roughly $35,000. Of this amount, about $25,000 was the total for IVF treatments. Costs included medical treatment, sonogram appointments, consultations, counseling, and various medication prescriptions.

Dr. Ku expresses that he much prefers to transfer one embryo at a time, due to the risk a multiple baby pregnancy can bring to babies and mom. He did explain that he would be open and suggest multiple embryo transfer depending on the situation. We had no problems with his approach.

I like how Dr. Ku doesn’t sugar coat anything and makes all the statistics and information easy to understand and realistic. I appreciated the times he would sit down and write down notes that we could take home. I also appreciated the human side of him, this is one of his strengths. I also think he tries really hard to get you to a baby, he doesn’t seem to waste a lot of time to get you there...which is also another strength.

Go into your first consultation with him with your wish list, but be prepared to hear a lot of numbers, statistics,& odds. He is really good at giving it to you straight.

Our first cycle was met with OHSS. Dr.Ku prevented me from getting worse and gave my body time to recover from it before moving onto a transfer. Our first transfer ended in miscarriage. He gave us time to mentally recoup and physically recover from that. When the 2nd transfer time came around, he changed my protocol to one that is for patient with multiple losses. I appreciated his quick adjustment to what was happening (based upon my history and my own personal needs and desires)

Reasonably priced and very comparable to other clinics. Maybe even better priced.

Dr.Ku has always been an advocate for single embryo transfers. He is always one to tell you about all the benefits of single embryo transfers and will inform you of the risks otherwise. But most of all he is there for his patients and their personal needs unique to them.

Dr. Ku is incredible. I'm not sure if I've ever come across a doctor who cares about his patients more - he has a huge heart, and takes time to explain EVERYTHING. You walk out of his office each and every time feeling totally comfortable and taken care of. He is ethical, moral and SMART. I'm a 'high-risk' case and he has made me feel 'at ease' every week!

I honestly couldn't recommend anyone more. Please feel free to ask him any and all questions - he will give you a thorough response to each and every one.

Dr. Ku saw me every week due to a high-risk pregnancy (scar tissue in the uterus). He did weekly ultrasounds to monitor the baby in relation to the scar-tissue. It's very rare but he greeted me with warmth and positivity and most importantly, information, each and every visit.

Very, very reasonable with my insurance. I had weekly ultrasounds and paid less than $100 per visit.

This wasn't relevant to my case.

My experience as a patient with Dr. Ku is that I feel he takes what we are going through very seriously and is willing to help us in any way he can. With knowing our insurance doesn’t cover the costs of infertility he is open to doing clomid with H.I while waiting for our savings to catch up for IUI or IVF.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. He is more than willing to answer them. If you want to try something that’s not a traditional treatment, if he can help with that he will.

From day one I was given a vaginal ultrasound, bloodwork, and we went over the results that same day. Dr. Ku saw no reason to rush things along and recommended we start with opk’s and H.I. A year later we came back and had more bloodwork done and another vaginal ultrasound. We also decided to have my husbands sperm tested and were unfortunately told he had low counts. We were then referred to a male fertility specialist to handle his low counts. He prescribed HCG to help boost his sperm count and production rate. After about 6 months we check his sperm count again and were relieved to find out his counts were now above normal. After finding that out we were advised to try H.I and see if that worked. About 6 months of not getting pregnant even after boosting his counts we decided it was time to go and talk about IUI. Knowing IUI is expensive, we wanted to see when we could get it scheduled. Which turns out isn’t a hassle or a wait time like we had anticipated. So when we went in to talk to Dr. Ku he was ready for it. Very supporting and understanding. When we told him we needed to wait just a couple more months to save the money he then prescribed clomid with H.I and said maybe this can work and if not it’s not expensive and we are still prepared for IUI. Now we wait to start the first round of clomid.

He’s warm and friendly and makes you feel human and seen and heard. He went through IVF a with his wife so he truly understands the emotional toll it takes on you each cycle. He showed empathy and compassion through our loss and seems to really want to see us get a healthy baby.

There’s typically a wait as the office is very busy

We did a FET with one embryo. He had me on PIO, lovenox, baby aspirin, and estrace.

The transfer was $3400 which is quite high compared to other doctors and insurance won’t cover it. Office visits for us were $10 copays. Storage for embryos at their clinic was $800 a year which also seems high.

He was very willing to transfer two embryos but given my history with difficult pregnancies, we chose one.

Dr. Ku has great bedside manner. He is compassionate and understanding of both soon to be parents. He was ethical and honest. I felt like I was in good hands and trusted his expertise. Once I became pregnant I felt a bit shuffled off and wished I had more time with him.

Ask to communicate with him directly if you really have a concern.

I was given folistem, menipure, and ganarelix prior to the egg retrieval to stimulate egg production. After egg retrieval I rested my body for one month. Then I began estrogen and progesterone for the month leading to the frozen embryo transfer. I continued the progesterone through the first trimester of my pregnancy.

21,000 all in. Including medications, egg retrieval, and frozen embryo transfer.

I asked for 2 embryos and my doctor said it would be unethical knowing I would likely get pregnant with one. He said if I had a healthy first pregnancy that he would consider putting in two for my second transfer.

Dr. Ku is amazing and very caring! He diagnosed me with polyps on my first appointment which delayed my IVF process but had me in surgery within a week to keep me on track. He is very thorough along with his staff. The sonographer Stacy is amazing and is key in your treatments! Between the two of them, it’s a stellar team! They both knew my name within just a few appointments! Dr. Ku gives you his cell number to text with questions which I did a few times. I messed up on my injections one night and text him to confirm what I had done would be ok. All he had to do was text back, but he called me to make sure I was ok...then proceeded to give me restaurant suggestions while I was in town. If you need someone with a caring bedside manner, this is him!! A frustration I had tho, was that I only saw him once during my 2 week work up to the retrieval. I felt like I was being cared for by nurses and the sonographer. I had to take comfort in the fact that they took my progress to him and he was making all of the decisions. Everything worked out perfectly tho! I have 2 embryos now and we’ve never gotten that far. Another frustrating aspect was that I had to jump through hoops to get my records to him and I don’t think he ever read them which made me nervous. He asked questions all of the time that I thought were odd bc he should have known them from my chart. Overall, God led me to Ku and I am forever thankful for that.

DOn’t hesitate to ask questions. He is very nice but sometimes tended to seem busy and in a hurry. He always spent the time with me I needed but I could tell he was trying to move on to the next patient. I’m sure it’s bc I was asking unnecessary questions and he didn’t want me to worry. He always kept me feeling positive and never wanted me to worry.

Due to my previous 2 stims rounds not producing great size follicles, he had me do a very different protocol. He had me on 350 follistem, 3:1 Menopur, and microdose Lupron with a handful of vitamins. My previous dr had me on follistem, omnitrope, testosterone, microdose Lupron, and 35 extra vitamins.

IVF with genetic testing is $11,200. However my meds were $7,000 and there is probably an additional $5,000 in appointment fees. I took a loan for $30,000 to be covered. Plus I paid $1500 in a 2-week stay at a hotel nearby.

He likes to do single embryo transfers, but he said he bends the rules for each patient. Since I’ve had a transfer where 2 didn’t stick he would consider putting 2 in again.

As a patient my wife and I understood there would be losses and we started with 2 embryos and lost 1 and then went on to have a singleton. We had been trying for 12 years and Dr. Ku explained he had suffered loss as well during his process. Everytime my wife cried he was there for us 24/7 365. We owe him everything and see him as a friend not just a doctor

He will treat you with respect and dignity. There isn't anything he hasn't seen or dealt with. He is constantly learning new techniques and understands the process because he has been through it. He with you every step of the way. We love him for that

Since it was a male driven infertility We hot 4 cycles of clomed and a few other medicines and got prepped for egg retrival and implantation. I was on medication as well for sperm motility.

The cost was a great deal We had spent over 6 thousand on medications and the process winded up costing a little over 10 thousand. He found the best price and will work with you no matter what your situation is.

I know we went through a loss but multiple transfers were the best way to ensure we would have a child

Dr. Ku is a friendly, gentle person who cares. I came to him after I left another practice mid-treatment after several bad experiences. He did everything he could to make this work for me in the small time allotment I had and always made the time to check in on me. Even when I just came in for blood work, he made sure to come and see me and ask how things were.

Don't expect a stereotypical doctor who bosses you around. If you respond well to bossy, authoritative people who tell you what to do, Dr. Ku is not for you. He makes you part of the process.

We were going for egg freezing, so we used Gonal, Menapur, Cetrotie, and then Lupro. He adjusted the meds as we went along and wasn't afraid to lower doses. Bloodwork and sonograms about every other day

His costs for the retrieval, plus surgical center, plus anesthesia came out to about 7000. Then bloodwork/sono appointments (without any insurance) were 295 each. Multiply that by about 6 of those types, add it to the top number, it is about 8770. There were some other charges and meds were about 5000

This was our last chance with IVF are 2 failed cycles. Dr Ku was willing to think out of the box and try more aggressive interventions. He was also able to start with my IVF cycle immediately when I transferred from another clinic a week before my IVF cycle was supposed to start. The only regret I have was not seeing him sooner.

You are in good hands.

I had a history of recurrent pregnancy loss. Dr Ku increased my progesterone & estrogen, added prednisone, and supported my use of lovenox to treat my blood clotting disorders. With this approach, I know have an 11 month old little boy.

Our insurance covered office visits, sonos, and labwork. Due to the surgical center being out of network, nothing was covered for the actual IVF and FET cycles. We sent approximately $8,000

Due to my history, we transferred 2 embryos. Both took but I lost one baby at 6 weeks gestation.

He was nice but always spoke quickly and always seemed rushed. My husband and I did not feel he was very personable. It is important to me to feel like my provider is genuinely interested in my issues and concerns and not to feel like just another patient being pushed through the business.

Be prepared to be given a lot of information very quickly.

My protocol began with calling the office the first day of my period. On cycle day 5 I began taking 50 mg Clomidiphene Citrate orally each day until cycle day 9. During these few days, I experienced headaches and some nausea. On cycle day 11, I had an internal sonogram and blood work drawn to see how I responded to the Clomidiphene. I was responding but not ready to move to the next step. I was prescribed Estradiol which I took 2mg for two days. On cycle day 13 I had another sonogram and more blood work. Everything looked good and ready to move forward. I was injected with 250mcg of Ovidrel in the abdomen. I experienced nausea, bloating and headaches the remainder of the day after the injection. On cycle day 14, my husband and I went into the office and where Dr. Ku performed our first IUI.

Consultation: $200 Initial Sonogram: $200 Hysteroscopy: $500 Blood Work: $188 Semen Analysis: $100 Genetic Screening: $250 AMH Test Labs Fee: $75 Clomid Prescription: $20.69 Ovidrel Injection: $159.99 Sonogram & Estrogen test Weekend Fees: $325 Estradiol Prescription: $18.39 Sonogram & Estrogen Test: $295 Sperm Preparation: $300 IUI Procedure: $250 Progestrone Test: $112 hCG Beta: $112 Sonogram: $225 Estrogen Test: $95 Medication Instruction from Nurse: $40 Travel Costs: $259.49

Strengths: Dr. Ku is very knowledgeable and positive. He will always be your cheerleader, even on your darkest day. He provides his cell phone number for after hours contact and is very responsive to texts. He goes through every step of the process (including his little "drawings"). He and his wife went through fertility treatments as well (and were eventually successful) so he really does understand the struggle. Weaknesses: His methods seem aggressive at times. If one method failed, it seemed like he jumped to a more extreme method rather quickly. Sometimes his "sad" voice was a little too much which made the bad news harder.

Clearly line out what you are expecting and ask any questions. He is very open to adjusting treatment if you have a preference.

3 IUIs - Follistem and some other medication. Trigger shot. First round, I was very responsive to all of the meds. Almost too responsive but we were able to proceed. Second and third time I wasn't as responsive but we still proceeded. I don't recall what adjustments, if any, were made. 1 IVF - Follistem, Menipor, some other stuff. Retrieved 20 eggs, 13 fertilized, 6? 8? made it to day 3. All arrested on day 3 resulting in 0 embryos for transfer. 4 preps for FET but only made it to FET twice. 2 Frozen Transfers using adopted embryos (more cost effective. We didn't want pay for another round given that they were unable to tell us where the issue was with our own embryos) - Lupron, birth control (had some cysts). My process took two months instead of the one month process because he wanted to do a full month of "shutting my ovaries down" because I appeared to still ovulate using regular protocol. That one time may have been a fluke because the last two times, I asked to do the one month and had no issues.

IUIs were about $1,500 each. Can't recall if that included the meds. IVF grand total was around $20,000. That included $5,000 in meds, about $2,000 for genetic testing, and about $1,000? $2,000? for ICSI. Embryo adoption is about $4,000. FET is about $3 or 4,000.

Depended on quality of embryos but the fewer the better when possible.

His strengths are that he cares about you and the outcomes of your treatment. He wants you to get pregnant and have a baby almost as much as you do! I did not find him to have any weaknesses. He is the perfect doctor for me and anyone who wants to be heard and active in their treatment plans.

Bring your notes, no one knows your body like you do. The more information you bring, the better he will be able to start the right treatment first.

I used clomid at first, that was my choice due to finances. Dr. Ku expressed his disbelief that this would be effective based on our test results but, it's all I could at the time. When that didn't work for about 8 months, we were ready to try IUI. Dr. Ku again stated that due to my quickly rising FSH and extremely low AMH levels, this was not likely to work. It was all I could financially so we proceeded with the strongest protocol I could afford. I used Follistim and got 1 mature follicle. We switch to an at home cycle since we were not likely to benefit from IUI that cycle and got a negative pregnancy test. We tried again the next month with Follistim and upped the doses, again one mature follicle. Dispite Dr. Ku staying that IUI was not likely to work with only one follicle, we proceeded at my request. Another negative test. We took a break and went to oral meds again but took the other one, not clomid. I stayed on that for a few months without a pregnancy until O stopped. We need donor eggs and we can tr afford that right now.

I had copays for ultrasounds and office visits, my deductible applied to my lab work and I paid out of pocket for injections and procedures.

N/a

We have been to three other fertility clinics before being led to Dr.Ku. He went out of his way to help us apply for fertility grants. He made us feel like a human and not a number. His action showed he truly cared for us and our journey. Communication is a must when going through IVF and he kept us up to date every step of the way. He called us himself most of the time.

I honestly believe he his one of the best doctors around.

IVF protocol. Birth control start on cycle day 2 Follistem and menupur Resulted in 28 eggs retrieved

IVF and Freeze cycle- $9,200 Frozen transfer $3,200

we have not done transfer at this point

Dr. Ku is very knowledgeable and empathetic. He takes time to explain all of the options and possibilities. The one issue I had was when we were going to transfer our embryos we did not agree on the number to transfer. Dr Ku only wanted to transfer 1 and I was insistent on 2. It was VERY difficult to get the 2 transferred, however in the end we did transfer 2.

Meeting Dr. Ku for an initial consult was a very great experience. When waiting in front lobby area. Dr. Ku is the one who gets you to his office, not the MA's. That in itself is very personable. Dr. Ku goes over every factor in detail and explains every step. He wants us to ask questions so that he addresses our concerns we have. He does not speak in medical terms that we would not be able to understand. When both of my IUI cycles came back to be unsuccessful, I would receive a call from him personally to voice his sadness with us. Each time he would ask if there was anything he could do to help me grieve the loss.

That they do not need to hesitate in asking many questions. Dr/ Ku is very patient in answering every question, no matter how insignificant it may mean.

I was taking a mix of Clomid and Letrozole along with low doses of Follistim injections. The reson I was put on this cocktail of meds was due to my PCOS. I have a very large number of eggs to each ovary and Dr. Ku did not want to cause OHSS if taking too may injections. At each visit, he would adjust med/injection intake to make sure treatment did not cause OHSS.

My insurance did not cover anything fertility related. For each IUI cycle, including ultrasounds and lab work, I paid roughly around $1k each time. This is not including the medications.

Have not done IVF with Dr. Ku as of yet due to financial reasons.

Dr Ku is the perfect Reproductive Endocrinologist for me. He fully understands all the emotions you are going through since he experienced infertility himself. He knows the financial burden and how stressful dealing with infertility. He made our journey more bearable for us. He was always honest and very supportive with all our decisions. He is very soft-spoken and he will explain everything clearly. He never rush our meetings.

You will never regret choosing Dr Ku as your Reproductive Endocrinologist.

We did the Follistism and Clomid combination. Since I can get pregnant but had miscarriage 3x we opted for IUI. First IUI was negative probably due to just having 1 egg and small amount of sperm on our 1st cycle. 2nd IUI we got pregnant but miscarriage at 8wks. Probably due to genetics/chromosomal. So Dr ku suggested we do IVF so we can choose the quality of the embryo.

As with any other Fertility Clinic it’s expensive and my insurance will only cover for lab tests. It is financially draining. But they do offer some financing.

We have not talk about embryo transfer since we only did IUI.

Dr. Ku is the only doctor that has ever given my husband and I a sense of hope. Even in the midst of our miscarriages he was patient but encouraging us to not give up. He changed the course of action to one that was exactly what we needed and we will never be able to thank him enough. He is literally a God send.

Be prepared to leave every single appointment feeling like his one and only patient. You will feel listened to, dignified, informed and respected.

We tried a number of different combinations, specifically to avoid another miscarriage as I am a recurrent loss patient. What is working for us so far is Follistim injections paired with Letrozole for 7-10 days, Ovidrel trigger shot, IUI. Two days following IUI I begin a Lovenox i jections, Prednisone (steroid), and Progesterone in oil injections. I also take a prenatal, Baby aspirin and pure Folate.

Because we did so many medicated IUI’s with injectables and extensive genetic testing on both myself and my husband, we have spent about $40k.

Dr Ku was overall extremely helpful in educating us throughout the process as well as keeping up a great attitude during a very stressful time for us. Not only that, but he gave us his personal cell phone number to text or call him for any questions that popped up. We aren't people who like to bug people off the clock, but we did text him a couple times and he responded right away and took care of us. He was all you can ask for in an IVF doctor.

Just Trust in Dr. Ku and feed off his energy. He knows what you are going through since he went through IVF for both of his children.

We started 10 days of birth control shortly after the begging of the cycle. A couple sonograms were performed after bleeding subsided in order to check the overlies. Once cleared, we started hormone injections (gonodotrphin). Several more sonograms were performed to check follicle/egg growth. Then a trigger shot was injected leading up to retrieval day. Note, the hyper stimulation of the ovaries caused some major bloat....like 6 months pregnant bloat. Egg retrieval was quick and we retrieved 22 eggs in total, 10 fertilized via ICSI, 6 turned into viable embryos, and 4 passed pgs testing.

Sonograms $1,380.00 Retrieval $12,900.00 Anesthesia $525.00 Gen Testing $1,350.00 ICSI $2,700.00 Transfer $3,700.00 Drugs $5,000.00

Dr. Ku recommends single embryo transfers if possible as twins often lead to high risk pregnancies. But different factors could change decision based on quality and number of embryos

I feel Dr Ku is very knowledgeable in his field and understands the pros and cons of each treatment or protocol. Dr Ku explains procedures through a mixture of verbal, hand drawn pictures, and written documentation to reinforce the information to the patient. He listens to your concerns and repeats them back to the you to confirm patient and doctor are on the same page. Most importantly I feel what Dr Ku brings to the table that other doctors in the field don't, is patient peace of mind. He listens to his patients and then uses all his tools in his medical tool box to meet those patients needs. Too often for women experiencing infertility, it is the other way around. We are told from doctors that there is only one path and to just adhere to his path and we will be successful. I feel Dr Ku's success comes from the level of confidence and peace of mind that he brings his patients. A happy relaxed patient has better outcomes.

I would say lay out all your concerns and thoughts out for Dr Ku, he is excellent and interpreting and extrapolating and then turning that into a plan of action. He is also great at working with budgets so don't be afraid to mention that cost is a concern and he will explain the different paths and cost and let you make the decision.

Still in progress.

Still ongoing but costs for a transfer were given up front at 3700 to 4300. That is not including the HSC and Hysteroscopy which our insurance mostly covered so it was only about 500 out of pocket with office visits and prescriptions.

Unfortunately our insurance dictated the eSET protocol, so we did not have an option to discuss.
