Quinton Katler

Dr. Katler takes his work seriously. He knows that families depend on him. He is reliable and knowledgeable. I would go back to Dr. Katler again and again. He showed us how much we can trust him. He uses his knowledge and passion to support our family and make this process easier for us. He always had our best interest in mind. He spoke to us with directness and respect every time, even when the news was hard to hear.

You will see lots of people throughout your visits at Shady Grove, but Dr. Katler and Teena are your team. You can trust them to know your situation and take care of your needs and answer your questions. The rest of the doctors and staff at Shady Grove are wonderful - don't worry if one of your procedures is with an unexpected person. Dr. Katler is always overseeing everything.

I had 6 medicated IUI cycles. We used letrozole on the first few cycles, then letrozole and clomid. I responded better when the clomid was added. Then we used a trigger shot when my follicles were big enough. After the fifth attempt, Dr. Katler advised us to think about using a different sperm donor. He was very direct but gentle in the suggestion because he knows that we are attached to our known donor. We decided to do one more IUI, then we pivoted to IVF so we could use the same donor. I don't remember the exact medications I did, but I did a few weeks of shots in preparation for my egg retrieval. Then a few days before the embryo transfer, I started daily PIO (progesterone-in-oil) shots along with Estradiol pills and prometrium vaginal suppositories. I continued that regimen until week 10 of my pregnancy.

Each IUI procedure was $2000. We used a known donor, and the cost from start to finish for that process was $3000. We opted for the "shared risk" IVF package meaning we paid more up front but we are guaranteed a live birth or we get our money back. We paid $26,000. We also paid about $100 for medications per IUI cycle. We paid roughly $5000 on IVF medication.

Dr. Katler was not open to multiple embryo transfer in my case. He said that due to my age and the genetic health of my embryo, it was very likely that the embryo would implant. He said that transferring multiple embryos would increase the likelihood of a high risk pregnancy.

There are no words to describe the level of personalized care that Dr. Katler provides. Starting from the first consult, and all the way through initial OB care, he has been absolutely phenomenal. In a field as emotional and heartbreaking as infertility, the provider's ability to connect and communicate with the patient is of utmost importance, and Dr. Katler excels at just that. His ability to make a patient feel like they matter and they are not just "another number" is admirable, despite working in a very busy practice. Dr. Katler remained consistent and supportive through the process, answered questions honestly and provided guidance and research to support his recommendations. Some fertility specialists have great results, but completely forget about you the moment your BHCG result is in. However, Dr. Katler continues to check on me and support my progress throughout pregnancy. If I would ever need to go through infertility treatments again, there is no doubt in my mind that I would chose Dr. Katler.
