Each visit with Dr Scheiber was efficient, which was important to me because of the frequency of the visits. He was thorough with his explanations of what was happening on my ultrasounds and clear about the next step moving forward...when IUIs weren’t successful due to male factor we moved to IVF...I feel the thing that was most helpful to our success was ICSI performed after the retrieval. We were lucky enough for our first fresh transfer to be successful.
Easy to get appointments at the desired time [at Institute for Reproductive Health], short wait time for appointments, typically running on schedule, clear communication, experienced MDs. You do need to leave a message when they call and they will call you back, which is not always convenient but preferable than waiting on hold for a long time

During IUIs we used letrozole and a trigger shot, when IUIs weren’t successful due to male factor we moved to IVF. We used a OCP/antagonist protocol with follistim, menopur, and cetrotide. I feel the thing that was most helpful to our success was ICSI performed after the retrieval. We were lucky enough for our first fresh transfer to be successful.

We had insurance coverage for fertility treatments, medication was out of pocket but with insurance prices were very reasonable
[Dr. Michael Scheiber] Answers questions when asked but doesn’t provide additional information. Not always the doctor seen at the clinic. Compassionate with difficult situations/news. Sometimes don’t feel like I’m getting individualized care at the clinic...Too many [protocols] to name...Wish would be more liberal with the amount of embryos allowed to transfer...Doesn’t always call when starting the next cycle or always follow up after a failed cycle
Overall, they [nurses at Institute for Reproductive Health] call back in a timely manner and seek answers to my questions. Wish there was a way to get a hold of someone directly instead of always leaving a message...Nothing major, just lot paperwork that my husband had already signed so he had to do it again...More privacy with billing area. Billing doesn’t always return phone calls...Like that there are multiple locations and can usually get an appointment when I need one. Overall, the entire team is compassionate and friendly.
