Michael Vermesh

On my first consultation, Dr Vermesh assess my ovaries to see how many eggs I had, then he check the lining of the uterus, during consultation he orders blood test for both me and my husband, I was told that my reproductive system was that of a 30yr old, so that made me feel it was going to work,he mention fibroids but they were too small to cause any problems. He then discuss a plan then you sit with Finance to discuss the terms. That routine continues only that Dr. Vermesh started consulting during the scan so there's no sitting down to discuss anything, priscriptions are written out by the nurses with instructions. During egg retrieval and transfers, I believe he should use someone with more steady hands and maybe supervise. He also hard sell a self made treatment that suppose to help with autoimmune illnesses at $500 during retrieval and transfer. I am disappointed because after two fails and over 50K lost with 7 high quality embryos, he was ready to start a third round, I said that's it I have no more money, then he said to see my doctor for the fibroids I had. I felt somewhat exploited.

He [Dr. Vermesh] just aspirated cysts as necessary and we kept going. This is ideal at my age as every cycle mattered. He is caring, sensitive and has an excellent bedside matter. I had seen other IVF doctors who were very scientific and clinical which was intimidating and left me confused and frustrated. I would recommend him to relatives and friends in a heartbeat.

Both my husband and I have felt 100 percent at east with Dr. Vermesh from day one. He answers every single question without making you feel like you are dumb, and he will explain in layman’s terms when needed. ... Dr. Vermesh informed me when he thought I would ovulate, and “prescribed” timed intercourse. I was skeptical based on our previous history, but it worked. ... While seeing him we had a loss, and he was so empathetic and caring throughout the experience.

After talking to several other doctors, we felt like he [Dr. Vermesh] presented the same exact information but with such a kinder spirit. I am in my 40s and although it’s a factor, he never treats me as if I’m nuts for wanting a baby. I feel respected and well taken care of at this office. ... We started with natural IUI. When that was unsuccessful, we tried IUI with injectibles. Unfortunately, that was also unsuccessful. But we appreciate that he was willing to try these less involved procedures before even suggesting IVF. We had reservations about taking a big financial and emotional leap without having tried anything else first.

He is very knowledgeable and makes me feel confident in my decision to go with him. He clearly lays out what the path will be and if we need to change course he clearly explains what to do next. He is on call for emergencies and easy to get a hold of.... We did an IVF cycle with Dr. Vermesh. I was on 2-3 injectables prior to egg retrieval. For the transfer he had me on progesterone (injectables), estrogen tablets (build and sustain uterine lining, estrogen patches (tablets alone were not enough), and baby aspirin. I am supposed to be continuing those until I am about 9.5 weeks pregnant.

He [Dr. Vermesh] was a doctor that analyzed you first and checked his patients to make sure what was the best procedure for them he would sit down and talk to you about step-by-step what he thought that was best for his patients .... He will try to make your experience successful... Day 3 through 7 Clomid day 3 through 11 gonal-f 1200 trigger the following day because doctor thought I was going to ovulate before he got to retrieval so made my appointment a day earlier or retrieval retrieved 20 eggs 12 mature 10 fertilized 5 today 5 with two early Blast 2 very early blast and one morula...

Unfortunately, my time wit Vermesh was not successful. I am still not pregnant 4 months later. I have come to believe that the surgery might have not been needed and I also have an intuitive feeling that all was actually done for money. I had spent everything I had saved which was not a lot. Now I have no means to continue my fertility treatments.

Dr. Vermesh showed a strong sense of compassion from my first appointment. He was very patient with me and answered all my questions to the best of his ability. He made me feel comfortable and put my mind at ease. He made sure I understand the process and was was very open-minded to my feelings and concerns, which is very important to me.

Dr. Vermesh is the head doctor and owner of the practice...We did an IVF procedure and retrieved 24 eggs, 15 fertilized and 8 made it to freeze...always made sure my partner and I were well informed and knew exactly what to expect... is very hands on and informative. He always makes sure you understand exactly what’s going on and explains it in ways you understand. He made our dreams of becoming Moms come true and we have a precious two year old and are trying for baby number 2.

During the actual transfer he [Dr. Michael Vermesh] was talking to his nurses about golf or something, while it was a very emotional time for me. I thought that was insensitive, but he when he saw me crying a bit -- he became for sensitive to the huge moment it was for me. All in all I have twins -- which a single pregnancy was the goal. I transferred two embryos, and feel very blessed. I was nervous to care for twins, but feel very fortunate.

He [Dr. Vermesh] really wanted to help me but I just didn’t have the funds to continue the treatment he was recommending... He show compassion and was willing to work with me as much as possible it wasn’t like I was somebody just like a number I was like I was the actual person and showed me more information then went and the doctor has shared with me about my PCOS I didn’t really see any weaknesses for him I just wish I could’ve continued treatment but at the time I was a teacher and did not have the funding
