Nidhee Sachdev

Dr Sachdev was the most compassionate and patient doctor I have encountered. She literally saved my life by diagnosing my cancer. I will always be grateful to her for everything she has done for me. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has great bedside manners.

She is awesome I have nothing negative to say about her.

Dr. Sachdev started my egg preservation treatment aggressively knowing that I only had one shot at this since I would ne having a complete hysterectomy. Thanks to her I was able to freeze 10 eggs for future fertilization, making my chances greater in becoming a future mother.

They assisted me with providing a discount due to my cancer diagnosis

Dr. Sachdev had a goal of retrieving 10 or more eggs and we did successfully.

She was great. She explained everything clearly and gave me the hard numbers when I asked for them. She was honest and realistic. She answered my questions patiently. I saw her for every ultrasound. The one time I had to page her after hours she answered immediately. I really appreciate her caring manner and straightforward advice.

Come prepared with your questions each visit and bring something to write down notes after.

Started with Lupron 10 ml during baseline period. Then started with Estrace patches (first two every other day, then one every other day), daily estradiol pill taken orally, and progesterone shots 1ml twice a day. Also baby aspirin and prenatal vitamin from beginning. For 5 days starting 2 days before FET, azithromycin and Medrol (steroid).

$3650 for FET not including meds, plus about $750 for one year of embryo storage

Doctor talked to me about my preference first, and I had strong preference for single. She discussed the quality of our embryos and agreed that would be reasonable.

Dr. Nidhee Sachdve has exceeded expectations for what we had hoped to receive in care from a doctor. She is personable, intelligent, clear, and patient. She is genuine in her care for her patients and always emphasizes that she is accessible via phone if we need to call for follow up questions or concerns (this is rare). She is clear in her explanations of the body, procedures and treatments. She is clear in her intentions and is clear in her expectations of our fertility journey. When our second IVF transfer protocol wasn't going as planned (my body wasn't responding appropriately), we stopped to reevaluate the course as she never moves forward unless she is positive it is the best option for the patient. I have expressed to all my friends and family how much we appreciate Dr. Sachdev and how we wouldn't and couldn't be going through this with any one else. Her professional guidance and intelligence coupled with her capacity to connect on a human level makes her an extraordinary doctor.

I would advise a prospective patient to trust Dr. Sachdev implicitly. It is often difficult to trust fully when others are dealing with your body and psyche especially in combination with the fragile path of infertility, but she is a gem of a doctor who genuinely cares.

My husband and I had tried "naturally" for a year before we saw Dr. Sachdev. We started with IUI treatments. I took femara (which is equivalent to clomid but better if you have migraines) for five days before the IUI. (Noted that the sperm count and quality wasn't the best nor the worst). We did three rounds of IUI and none of them took. After three rounds Dr. Sachdev let us know of the probability of getting pregnant from IUI after three rounds. We were well informed and decided to move forward with IVF. The egg retrieval we had 17 eggs, 12 became blastocysts and after genetic testing five came back as genetically "normal". My IVF transfer protocol started with me starting birth control (norethindrone, an alternative BC for people with migraines), on the third day of my period. Nine days later I had an ultra sound and began lupron shots (still taking BC). I stopped BC after 13 days and continued lupron shots in the stomach. The next week I lowered the lupron shot amount and began an estrace pill (estrogen). The week after I kept taking estrace and added two estrogen patches on my stomach. The week after I stopped taking lupron. During the ultrasound the doctor noticed I was growing a follice (even though lurpon and BC should have stopped it). So she upped my transefer date, I took a ovulation trigger shot, to make sure the follicle ovualted before the transer, and I took six days of progestrone shots twice a day in the top part of my glutes. The IVF transfer was unsuccessful. We moved right on to the next IVF cycle and half way through the doctor discovered I was growing a follicle again, even though she had me on BC and lupron longer. So we decided to stop half way and reevaluate how to move forward. We were going to start a natural FET cycle but covid-19 happened and now we are stalled.

Th consultation was $260. Each IUI was $2,500. Each ultraound was $300. IVE embryo retrieval was $15,600 not including genetic testing which was $1,950. Medications were $9,000. IVF tranfer cost was $4,000 plus $1,200 for medications. This all doesn't include $800 HSG test, $2,200 genetic carrier screening, and other various tests.

Dr. Sachdev strongly suggested we only transfer one embryo at a time. The risk for twins is too great and we have (now four) frozen embryos.

I loved how straightforward she was with us. The facts were very reassuring in a time when there was a lot of unknown heading our way. I was diagnosed with cancer at 32 and she walked us through all the paperwork required to get assistance from the different organizations. Fertility preservation wasn’t something we were prepared for at this stage in our life and Dr. Sachdev was our light through the dark. We got five perfect embryos! We couldn’t be more pleased.

Don’t hesitate to see her. She is young but she really knows what she is doing. Also, my very loving mother wanted to come to every appointment and Dr. Sachdev accommodated is every time.

I had one shot at egg retrieval before my chemotherapy started. So Dr. Sachdev used an aggressive round of hormone injections to get as many eggs as possible. She was able to harvest 10 eggs total. From our first consultation we were informed to expect 1-3 chromosome normal embryos at the end of our treatment. So to our complete surprise we ended up with 5 perfect embryos! We have 3 boys and 2 girls.

Dr. Sachdev’s office had special pricing for patients dealing with cancer. It was very much appreciated during that time as we had a lot of medical bills popping up.

We haven’t gotten to that point in our treatment yet. We have to search for a surrogate, due to the cancer I won’t be able to carry our children.

Very warm personality, treats you like a human, not just a patient. Was very good at explaining complicated science in a way that both me and my husband could understand, set realistic expectations, was able to help me make thought decisions about my treatment, appreciated that she didn't jump to IVF right away and didn't push it, took the time to get to know us personally, makes herself available for random questions- even on weekends.

Dont hold back on any questions no matter how silly or simple they may seem. She will take the time to explain in a way you understand- she is very patient, dont be embarassed.

We only transferred 1 embryo, given my age, OR and desire to not have twins. I have another embryo to transfer when COVID restrictions are limited.

Dr S is giving of her time and sharing of options. Always willing to answer questions and help us feel comfortable with the procedures. She has been available by phone, email or text and is usually quite quick to respond

be comfortable with asking questions and understanding your options

IUI strategy for 3 cycles IVF afterwards IUI had clomid and estradiol (i think) then a shot to release the eggs. Sperm collection and wash prior to insemination

I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr Sachdev as my fertility physician. Not only is she extremely intelligent, she is compassionate and trustworthy. She gave my parents and I a comprehensive presentation and Q&A about the egg freezing process and answered all of my questions and concerns in great detail.

Choose Dr Sachdev for egg freezing

I have only had my consultation. I plan to begin the egg retrieval process either this Aug or in the early fall. I am currently prepping by following all of Dr Sachdev's vitamin and diet custom recommendations for me.

I believe the grand total will be around 15-20k out of pocket, including medication. So far, my insurance has covered the blood work. Ive had to pay a consultation pay out of pocket.

Dr. Sachdev is the best physician I've ever been treated by. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and an expert in her field. She also possessed all the characteristics of a true friend handling a delicate matter. She was compassionate, friendly, warm-spirited and warm-hearted, and made us feel that we were the most important patients of her day. She executed with precision.

Dr. Sachdev recommended Clomid and then followed all protocols typical of an IUI procedure. After four cycles of negative pregnancies, Dr. Sachdev recommended we try a back-to-back insemination before moving to IVF, which resulted in a positive pregnancy. Dr. Sachdev was very careful to point out statistics and ensure we had all information available to us before making decisions related to moving treatment to IVF.

Each cycle typically cost $1,600 to $1,800

She’s very smart and informative. I did find her to answer all of my questions in great detail which I appreciated. There were only one times they forgot to give me the results of critical testing result which flipped our lives around. Distinctly no one told me my husbands blood test results until I asked and this was rigjt prior to one IUI process ( the second time) and caused us to later basically switch to ivf because time was burned. Am not sure if this was the error of the nurse or doctor but specifically the weeks following that were hell for us. The experience was not fun laying on the examination table and then because I asked by chance my husbands blood test results (because no one called me prior) that it changed the entire course of our approach for that exercise. Had I not asked we would have completed the IUI. I remember having so many questions and no one having answers for us. It was only until the next appointment with Dr Moeyeri which I was put more at ease with her explanation. That almost made us not want to continue treatment with anyone. We did however later go forward with ivf and that entire process with the doctor was great and good experiences. Looking back Dr. Sachdev is someone I’d definitely refer to any of my friends seeking a professional. She’s really good at what she does and very personable.

Know that Dr Sachdev is very much a good doctor looking at very advanced approaches for you while looking at what is at your best interests at hand.

Don’t remember much about drug protocols aside from progesterone in oil was used at the end at 1mg 2 times a day plus estriadrol patchs

All of the ivf was 24k plus medicines

They had a strong preference to one embryo being my situation and age and first ivf they would not do multiples( I asked a few times). She was looking out for my best interests though
