Our experience here was terrible on many levels. I felt dissatisfied on many occasions during my time there, but I didn't realize what I was truly missing until I began treatment with a different and wonderful doctor. My list of complaints is varied, so I will limit this review to my primary concerns.
1. Dr. Z. offered to unplug a problematic tube via anesthesia and scalpel, but my new doc opened it within a routine HSG exam that was painless and took literally seconds.
2. My new doc informed us that the medications I was prescribed were not appropriate for me and somewhat archaic. We had issues with follicle growth and a medication I was prescribed is known to inhibit growth
3. We opted for an IVF cycle with AFC, which went terribly wrong. The worst part was that we were never told it was going wrong until our post IVF consultation. That's like having your mechanic wait until after your car accidident to tell you he knows your brakes don't work properly. Dr. Z was getting my blood test results while another doctor was doing all of my ultrasounds, and apparently the two doctors were not communicating their findings to each other. During each ultrasound, I was told how wonderfully things were progressing and how I had an amazing number of follicles. However, my blood work was clearly indicating that those follicles would never grow. I absolutely would have stopped the cycle and started over with a medical protocol that had a chance to work if I had known. I spent my life savings on an office that DID NOT take good care of me.
We ended up with only one embryo which did not survive. I just finished an IVF cycle with another doctor in Tempe and we have 15 embryos. That's a 1500% improvement. If you are looking for a doctor PLEASE shop around! It's is an important and highly emotional time when you deserve the very best treatment possible. In my opinion, you won't get the best treatment with AFC.
