He [Dr. Gustofson] took the time to really talk on the phone, answered all my questions, didn't seem rushed and seemed to want my business. Other doctors I've had all seemed to act as though they were doing me a favor. Dr G was trying to compete for my business, which I liked, given that I'm going to be paying them A LOT of money.... Spends time on the phone with me, isn't in a hurry, answers my questions thoroughly and respectfully.
So far, very organized, strict and friendly. I've had a good experience so far. Their billing, business, front desk staff all seem nice. Everyone [CCRM Colorado] I've interacted with so far seems great.... Kathryn seems very well organized and conscientious. She always responds to my questions....[Cost Of Treatment] 24K per cycle...

He [Dr. Gustofson] is extremely knowledgeable and smart. He takes the time to explain treatment options and never makes you feel rushed. He answers all questions and makes you feel like he cares. The only downside is I do not get to interact with him as much as I would like. Most appointments and follow up dialogue is with nurses.... Menopur due to having HA. I then triggered and did an IUI to give us the best odds of getting a BFP.
The front desk staff [CCRM] is strong and helpful. The billing department is frustrating. They are not very responsive and take a long to call you back. I feel like you talk to someone new each time and I feel like I do not always get my questions answered without multiple back and forths.... I have changed nurses multiple times so building a true relationship with any one of them has been difficult. I feel like I have had to tell my story many times.

He [Dr. Gustofson] is kind and also aggressive with his approach, which I like....Still in progress, but so far his strengths are: aggressive approach, doing things differently, advocate for supplements and lifestyle, does a whole “priming month.” The clinic I’m still unsure of as I am just starting with them. I don’t like how they charge for everything... Go there and to him if you are desperate and willing to throw everything you got at this process.
The costs at cCRM are much higher than other clinics I’ve been to, which is too bad because they also don’t file insurance for tests and monitoring, if your insurance doesn’t cover “fertility treatment” but does cover these sorts of tests....Strengths and challenges: they are very strict about their policies when it comes to tests, etc. you have to do everything g all over with them. Most of their clientele is from out of state. I like how they are very big on supplements and other “non traditional” modalities.

I came to Dr Gudtofson after a bad experience at another local clinic. I immediately liked him. I had a huge list of questions and a giant file of my past failures and losses. He really took the time to listen to me and directed me to the right protocol...Dr Gustafson was kind and so patient in explaining every step. He helped me educate myself and we made decisions together on my protocol. He was compassionate in helping me through my miscarriages.
[CCRM Denver] Strengths are embryology lab and doctors. Weak admin staff. Disorganized billing and communication. Lots of turnover...The nursing staff was good. I loved my initial nurse but she moved to another office. I had a few different ones after that. All were good, some I clicked with more than others. None were bad or lacking knowledge...I came to Dr Gudtofson after a bad experience at another local clinic. I immediately liked him.

Excellent organization, emphasis on education and great with out of town patients. Extremely busy so sometimes you feel like you're part of a well oiled machine.

He [Dr. Gustofson] always showed care and concern about how I and my husband were feeling about the process. He never rushed us and would take plenty of time to answer our questions.... We went through frozen embryo banking. Although we understood that it was a numbers game, he never made us feel like a number. He was kind, considerate and candid. When we had setbacks, he addressed them quickly. He was always positive about our chances and was the first to congratulate us. I highly recommend him.
Very professional, cutting but not bleeding edge in technology. This clinic [CCRM] sets the standard for others to follow. Hands down, I would choose this clinic again. After going to another well-regarded clinic, I just wish I would’ve gone there sooner.... Helen was a poor communicator. When I asked for a different nurse, Dr. Gustofson immediately got me in touch with the perfect nurse.

[Dr. Robert Gustafson] was always very personable and I felt like he knew everything he needed to know about me at every phone call or email. I didn't feel as if he were just reading a chart....I loved that he was so accessible. Not all doctors at CCRM are so. He was kind and compassionate given all we had been through....He's a great doctor. Don't over look him for the glitz and glamour of other doctors at CCRM....We tried multiple treatment plans to get my uterus to respond. Unfortunately, nothing worked until we took myself out of the equation.
CCRM can be very overwhelming. They have a remarkable reputation and that can sometimes be daunting. You expect miracles. A lot of times those miracles do happen and sometimes they don't or they take other means to happen. And sometimes even the best doctors can't know everything. And be okay with that....CCRM was very expensive. But their statistics spoke for themselves. I will never regret making the decision to go there.

My experience with him [Dr. Gustofson] is that he saw a lot of patients in his practice, yet the team was small, warm, and compassionate. When you're working with fertility it's a very sensitive and personal topic, and I felt the team [at CCRM Louisville] exhibited empathy, especially when my process was fruitless...Standard baseline drugs like Clomid, 3 unsuccessful IUIs, and then a recommendation to move to IVF because of advanced maternal age

Dr Gustafson was kind, professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He never talked down to us and always treated us like our questions or concerns were valid and important. We never felt rushed during appointments....The Louisville offices of CCRM are much smaller and more intimate than the Lone Tree Clinic. The clinic staff is smaller too. I feel that this was a positive because the staff all knew me by name and were very friendly and warm. We had the same people working with us almost every time, so people always knew our history and current situation and we didn't have to worry about telling our story again or about mistakes being made in appointments and procedures.

We started with an over the phone consult...Dr Gustofson called exactly on time...Unfortunately our medical records did not get to the office in time. That didn't stop him from doing a very thorough consult with us. He asked so many questions about our past, even questioned concerns I had brought up to OBGYNs for years and no one seemed to care about...felt like we were talking to someone who was dedicated to helping us and actually was listening to everything we had to say.
the people [at CCRM Colorado] I have called to ask questions with or spoke with regarding appointments have been awesome!...Extremely helpful with out of state patients regarding travel, stay, eat, etc...They do a lot more testing initially than I have had before but for all great reasons!...[Dr. Robert Gustofson] asked so many questions about our past, even questioned concerns I had brought up to OBGYNs for years and no one seemed to care about.
How was your experience with Robert Gustofson at CCRM Colorado?
We started with an over the phone consult since we live in MI. Which I was a little nervous about. Dr Gustofson called exactly on time. He was very understanding and explained everything to us. Unfortunately our medical records did not get to the office in time. That didn't stop him from doing a very thorough consult with us. He asked so many questions about our past, even questioned concerns I had brought up to OBGYNs for years and no one seemed to care about. He was very honest with us about a study we had interest in. I would say overall it was an amazing consult. It was just a relief to finally feel like we found the dr that we were going to go through IVF with.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Gustofson at CCRM Colorado?
Be prepared and open. They do a lot more testing initially than I have had before but for all great reasons!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Gustofson at CCRM Colorado?
We did an over the phone consult. Dr Gustofson was very friendly, he stayed on the phone with us for over and hour. Since we have been to another clinic in the past and have experience with another dr, my husband and I got off that phone call and actually felt like we were talking to someone who was dedicated to helping us and actually was listening to everything we had to say.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at CCRM Colorado.
I have only had little contact with some staff since I haven't started treatment yet. But the people I have called to ask questions with or spoke with regarding appointments have been awesome!
Describe your experience with CCRM Colorado.
Strengths--Do a lot more initial testing before you even start a cycle. Do more things when making embryos to give you the best chance at getting the most good embryos. Extremely helpful with out of state patients regarding travel, stay, eat, etc.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Robert Gustofson at CCRM Colorado.
My husband and I have NO insurance coverage so everything will be paid out of pocket. Our initial consult was around $300. The nurses sent me all the information regarding IVF. They even laid out everything that our insurance would cover (basically just some initial blood tests). IVF will cost about $30k with medications.

He [Dr. Gustofson] was available for any questions we may have. His bedside manner and concern for our journey is to be commended. When our first cycle did not end in pregnancy, he was just as sad for us as we were for ourselves...ISCI was used due to my husband's vasectomy reversal. We also did PGS testing of all embryos...He explained the process and what was going on with each of us from what he could tell from all of our testing.
They [nurses at CCRM Colorado] were very informative of any and all communication. They are available to talk to whenever I needed them as well...We got a discount for my husband serving in the military. Overall cost of our cycle was 20K...Weaknesses - They have a lot of patients and if you are not familiar with the IVF process it can seem overwhelming...staff was amazing. They were thorough and positive through the whole process. I understood everything that we were going to be doing.
How was your experience with Robert Gustofson at CCRM Colorado?
Dr. G is amazing. He explained the process and what was going on with each of us from what he could tell from all of our testing. He drew the process out from us and ensured that we fully understood what was happening and what was going to be happening. He was available for any questions we may have. His bedside manner and concern for our journey is to be commended. When our first cycle did not end in pregnancy, he was just as sad for us as we were for ourselves.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Gustofson at CCRM Colorado?
Get a consult with Dr. G so that you can tell how great of a doctor that he is and that there is a way even when it may seem hopeless.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Gustofson at CCRM Colorado?
The feeling I had in Dr. G and his staff was amazing. They were thorough and positive through the whole process. I understood everything that we were going to be doing.
Describe the protocols Robert Gustofson used in your cycles at CCRM Colorado and their degree of success.
We did a testosterone antagonist protocol - if I remember correctly. ISCI was used due to my husband's vasectomy reversal. We also did PGS testing of all embryos.
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM Colorado. (Assigned nurse: Chris)
They were well informed of my cycle and Dr. G's plan for us. They were very informative of any and all communication. They are available to talk to whenever I needed them as well.
Describe your experience with CCRM Colorado.
Strengths - They have the best lab in the country (if not the world). They know the latest practices and protocols. I was for straight forward communication and blunt answers, and once I stated that they knew how to communicate effectively with me while keeping the bedside manner in tact. Weaknesses - They have a lot of patients and if you are not familiar with the IVF process it can seem overwhelming.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at CCRM Colorado.
During the week I made appointments at my clinic that Dr. G was at. If I needed an appointment on the weekend, I had to drive to another clinic to have it done. There was order and never took more time than expected, it worked around my schedule.

Dr. Gustofson spoke to us for a very long time and warned us that he saw "red flags with shooting rockets" to indicate his concern around my very low AMH levels. Even though my partner and I are not planning to conceive for a few more years, he reassured us that we were doing the right thing by seeing him now, given our cause for concern... outlined all of the possible scenarios to explain my very low AMH level. He came up with a solid testing plan to conduct further analysis. He has been available for any questions I've had throughout the process, and has answered me thoroughly within the same day.
CCRM is well organized, warm and welcoming. they handled my case with great professionalism and I trust them due to their reputation. I am new to this world of infertility, and I feel that they are sensitive to my fears and concerns...my diagnostic tests to determine my fertility complications cost around $1200...Dr. Gustofson spoke to us for a very long time and warned us that he saw "red flags with shooting rockets" to indicate his concern around my very low AMH levels.

I think overall, Dr. G was the right choice for me. However, I had a consult with him recently, where I don’t think he quite understand the implications of endometriosis on IVF...Personable doctor. Clearly busy. I do not think had a particularly educated perspective on endometriosis...Be an advocate for yourself, and use the resources at hand...Around 15 K for egg freezing and additional for storage.
The [CCRM Colorado] location was convenient for me & efficient. My main complaint is that they drastically increased the fee for egg storage. It seems rather awful given that most people will of course pay, but there was no advance notice for the increase...Overall, great [nurses]! It was a little chaotic to have different nurses answering questions...I’m glad it froze my eggs w CCRM. The process was far more challenging than I expected.

[Dr. Robert Gustofson]was so caring...listened to everything I had to say and took it all into consideration...had this calming effect and I left every appointment super positive...was straightforward but in a good way...was set on one, but I also didn’t want to transfer more.
[CCRM Colorado] are pretty booked, so if you have dates in mind, be prepared to wait. But if you’re willing to be flexible with the process and have other Drs help (all mine were great) you’re golden...made me feel like all questions were important, and gave me a lot of peace of mind...always responded quickly too.
