Dr. Tolu is very kind and passionate. She understand how hard it is to go through what we were going through. She always stays positive though however I do wish there was something else we could do besides going to IVF. I was on clomid for 2 cycles and was told to do one more cycle. I feel like since clomid isn’t working I would like to try another medication.

No advice because every situation is different however I would definitely recommend her!

I did two cycles of medicated IUIs. I took clomid for both and did a trigger shot for both

Everything was very expensive. Our rounds of IUI with medication came out to be around 1,500. Each ultra sound is 300 and I needed two with each cycle. IUI is 400. Sperm. Was was 250. Clomid was 40 and trigger shot was 120

Did not experience

We came from a doctor that we did not particularly love. From the moment we met DR Tolou we instantly knew she would be the doctor who would help us get pregnant. She was confident, informative, kind, warm, and knew exactly what she was talking about. We moved to Pennsylvania and still came back to California for our 2nd transfer because there was no doctor that we trusted more than Dr. Tolou.

Trust her, she’s a miracle worker.

Frozen egg transfer with donor sperm, resulted in 2 successful rounds of IVF

I believe the first round of IVF & transfer was around $20k

We didn’t really entertain multiple

Dr.Tolou was recommended by a friend of ours after having multiple failed IUI procedures and two failed IVF transfers with a different doctor. I was impressed from the start with Dr.Tolou and felt we were in great hands. She was wonderful and extremely careful and attentive with our treatment plan. Every time my husband and I met with her she was informative, preparing us every step of the way and explained things so thoroughly. She was kind and warm and made us feel comfortable the whole time.

Every plan of care is different for each patient but I would reassure them that they will feel taken care of and in great hands with this doctor. They can expect quality care at this facility.

One treatment strategy that comes to mind that we did not receive elsewhere was the additional treatment for a possible autoimmune issue. Dr. Tolou tested me for thyroid antibodies. I did have an abnormal result for one of them so I was prescribed a steroid, baby ASA as well as intralipid infusions in order to help prevent miscarriage after the embryo transfer due to an autoimmune response.

Although slightly more expensive than our previous fertility clinic, it is comparable to other treatment facilities.

Setting up the appointment was easy, everything was explained to clearly on what the plan was in order to conceive. I got an ultrasound the first visit to check if I had eggs and if there was any scaring on my uterus. I was assured everything was fine and put in medication to regulate my periods.

There is a fee up front that is worth it. They are very nice in the office and over the phone. Very helpful staff and doctors.

I had to lose weight and eat right and take metformin to regulate my periods. After my periods are regular I can go back and start my insemination process.

It was 200 us dollars for the first visit then after that can be up to 3000 for me depending on what I was going to be doing.

Dr. Tolou was very knowledgeable about infertility. She explained things throughly and she rooted me on from day one. My husband passed from cancer before the embryo transfer and she was very sensitive to my needs. She felt like part of the family and she was/is as invested in me having a child as I was.

Ask questions

I don’t remember specifics

The IVF process is expensive so way around it but the doctor did give me a discount on my overall package and I got a nurses discount as well

I was recommended to Dr Tolou by a friend who had a successful pregnancy. I'm beyond happy with the service Dr Tolou provided. She is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and has a kind heart. Every question my husband and I had, she answered.

You will not be disappointed with the care you will receive.

I am an older patient. I have recurrent loss and pregnancy carried risks. Dr. Tolou was always up front and clear about expectations and plans of action. She was direct without over promising but always left me feeling hopeful. She adjusted as best she could our visits to work around the distance we had to drive to make the visits. Three hours one way.

Ask as many questions as you can from consultation to procedures. Do your own research but trust the doctors medical advice and opinions. Don’t be afraid to stick to your guns about important parts of the process to you. It’s your body and your journey.

We did an HSG and an endomeTRIO due to last loss. We also did a scraping during the final retrieval prior to second FET which I personally think helped with implantation. I used patches and suppositories to thicken my lining before FETs and a longer slower protocol worked better for me in retrieval results. My second retrieval had poor results after a shorter protocol with higher dosage.

In total, about 80,000

She was very ethical about the discussion and risks. She carefully considered my specific risks and age and medical history before agreeing to our decision.

I knew instantly that Dr. Tolou was the MD I wanted for my IVF procedure. Before seeing her I had gone through many appointments with other MDs, completed numerous diagnostic testing, completed numerous failed cycles using fertility medications, IUI procedures, etc; however, she pretty much instantly saw an abnormality with my uterus on the first visit that nobody else told me about. Thankfully, it wasn't a cause for concern, but the fact that she saw it and nobody else did just verified I wanted her as my MD! Not only that, but she does all your exams, you're not sent to some other office or someone else to perform you US, she does them which is also very comforting and reassuring. She explains everything before she begins, and she describes what's occurring during the process. I honestly can't say enough good things about Dr. Tolou, we are extremely happy with our experience with her, she made our dream come true!

She is a Doctor you can trust and feel comfortable asking questions, she is always very attentive and caring to all your concerns.

The one thing that really stuck out for me were the 3 cycles of lipid injections she recommended after the transfer. She explained how some women have a uterus with a toxic-like environment that doesn't allow for a successful pregnancy and she described how you can only test for it by doing a biopsy while you're pregnant. She further described how the research has shown how the lipid infusions help calm the uterus in a way where the embryo is more successful. I'm really happy we did the lipid infusions just in case because thankfully our pregnancy was successful with the first transfer!

The financial aspect was a little bit confusing. I feel like I called the financial advisor a lot with questions/concerns. They give you a cost breakdown and "Other expenses" being pretty broad. When I originally got my cost breakdown it was during a time where they had a special going on, but the discount didn't apply to the whole cost of the procedure which was confusing. You pay up front for the procedures before you start, but the labs, medications, and I believe US had additional fees/costs too.

Dr. Tolou was the most amazing doctor my husband and I have ever had the pleasure of working with. From our first consultation to our positive pregnancy test, Dr. Tolou was loving and comforting and extremely informative. We don't feel having our little baby boy would have been possible if it not for her.

Just do it! She's the best!

We did IVF for unexplained infertility. We did several injectables with IM progesterone. After my FET she also had me do IV intralipids.

My monitoring appointments were all done very well.

Roughly $25,000

We had an AA boy embryo and Dr. Tolou was very confident with it working

She was very warm and welcoming and set clear goals and expectations. She was candid while also being kind about what we were doing moving forward and what I needed to do as well. She was everything I could hope for in a fertility doctor.

Be ready to learn about your choices!

I think that her protocol was to be proactive, she was constantly checking and rechecking to make sure that we were on track, and very good about educating me along the way. They produced great results based off of my health and mine and my husbands history.

They were on par with typical costs of fertility medicine.

I was grateful that we only chose single embryo transfer, and I was glad she explained why she felt it was more beneficial.
