How was your experience with Vicky Moy at Kaiser Permanente Sacramento?
In 2021, my work insurance covered an elective egg freezing cycle with Kaiser. I wound up having to drive to Sacramento because local clinics only performed them for medical reasons, but it was worth it in the end because I loved working with Dr. Moy. She set out a great treatment plan for me and did her best to have as many tests closer to my home or schedule virtual visits to avoid the commute as much as possible. I was worried I might get lectured for waiting until I was 38 or why I was doing it as a single woman, but when I felt like I had to explain it to her, she stopped me and said she completely understood why I was doing it and that I didn't need to justify myself to anyone. She really was the perfect combination of professionalism while still being supportive and encouraging. I didn't see her for all of my check in appointments, but she performed my egg retrieval procedure and it was very quick with virtually zero downtime.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Vicky Moy at Kaiser Permanente Sacramento?
I can't vouch for how she handles IVF, but if you're looking for someone to perform a fertility preservation procedure, I can't imagine anyone better. Being Kaiser, be aware that some of your monitoring visits will likely be with other doctors; I saw two other male doctors several times, and there was always a female assistant in the room. All were very professional and their contributions to my overall patient record led to a very successful procedure, which Dr. Moy performed.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Vicky Moy at Kaiser Permanente Sacramento?
Dr. Moy was friendly and supportive and talked me through a treatment plan that was appropriate and would accomplish what I wanted. I was worried about my age, but she went over all my numbers which were better than I feared. I worried that I might need to explain why I was doing an elective egg preservation cycle, but she told me I didn't need to explain anything and that she completely understood what I was going through.
Describe the protocols Vicky Moy used in your cycles at Kaiser Permanente Sacramento and their degree of success.
Goal F (150 IU) in the morning and Menopur (75 IO) in the PM. As I got closer to the procedure, they wrote in different doses depending on my labs. My planned retrieval day was a Tuesday, but they pushed me to Thursday based on my numbers.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kaiser Permanente Sacramento.
I don't really remember but I believe they were all supportive and kind.
Describe your experience with Kaiser Permanente Sacramento.
Overall I had a good experience. There were substantial wait times sometimes, up to 30-45 minutes. I found the nurses to be helpful and they laid out the schedule very clearly on a calendar PDF so I knew what doses, lab work, and ultrasounds I had on each day. It sounds really confusing at first, but I felt comfortable with the whole process.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Vicky Moy at Kaiser Permanente Sacramento.
That year, my employer had negotiated an elective egg freezing cycle in their Kaiser contract, so I didn't pay for anything (which I understand is unusual! It sounds like the medications are often extra).
