| - I'm going to try and write this review to the best of my ability without letting my emotions get the best of me. I started seeing dr Z in early 2015. I have been trying to conceive for over 8 years, all I have ever wanted in life was to become a mother. I did some online research and hoped that I can come across a doctor that was highly recommended by others. he was one of the few names with a really good reputation. I went ahead and set up a consultation which cost me $300. the consultation lasted about 30 minutes and he quickly went through the procedures they had to offer, he suggested we move forward with IUI first and then if that fails we would move forward to IVF and he pulled out the payment packets. he proceeded to tell me that there was no doubt in his mind I would be pregnant by that August 2015.
We moved forward with starting the tests. First we did an ultrasound and then we did the hsg test and blood work. Everything came back normal for me and my partner. he said I had what is called "unexplained infertility". We moved forward with IUI, failed. 2nd IUI, failed. At this point with tests and two failed IUIs, we were about $5,000 in. Me and my partner decided to wait and save up for IVF. We didn't want to waste our money on another iui. we figured it wasn't going to work for us. it took us about four months to save for IVF to pay it in full and in cash, our insurance covered nothing.
He put me on birth control, the month of IVF I went in for an ultrasound, when he discovered I had polyps in my uterus. We went ahead and scheduled surgery which would cost me almost $1,800. The day of the surgery I arrived, they had me fill out paperwork and pay for the procedure up front and in advance. I go back into the room, a he puts me under with anesthesia and wakes me back up not even 5 minutes later. As I'm sitting there dizzy from the anesthesia I can just hear him talking to my partner. Telling him that there was complications, he briefly discussed with my partner what had went wrong. He told me that he couldn't talk to me because I was under the influence and I wouldn't understand. He went ahead and called me the next day and proceeded to tell me that the surgery had to be cancelled because of complications. I asked him what the complications were and he said that HE poked my uterus and started to bleed so he couldn't see what he was doing. He mentioned it had to be terminated and that my uterus would have to heal and two weeks later I can come back and redo the surgery. I agreed. Little did I know that having to come back and do the surgery that he messed up I had to pay the almost $1,800 AGAIN. Before I could even schedule a second surgery I received a bill for almost $700 for the anesthesia. I received a phone call to schedule for my surgery but never to ask how I was doing, how I was feeling or anything else other than to get me in their office to proceed with another surgery.
Now, I understand the policy and what I signed. What I'm going through is very sensitive and special. Ive given this doctor over $10,000 already and I feel the respect isn't there. I'm not treated as a woman who wants a child, he's treating me like a cash machine. Not once when I was ever in his office did he make me feel like a true patient. He didn't come off as wanting to build a relationship with me. He would talk quickly, he would talk as I'd I knew his lingo, but I didn't. I would always seem to leave with more questions than answers.
I decided not to move forward with dr. z. I asked myself how I could let this man whose hand isn't even gentle enough to properly inject the medication into my uterus, transfer an embryo. I couldn't get myself to pay him over $18,000 to try.
Congratulations to all the women who have successfully conceived with this doctor. He does have some amazing reviews, unfortunately my experience was different.
