They want me to pay upfront before any treatment and have no payment plans at all!! I dont have 2k up front for ultrasounds for each cycle and I'll need two per cycle!! Who has 4k laying around before I went and get everything done and did payments online! Now everything has changed! I bawled when I got the news that everything now is paid upfront regardless! So I'm to the point in life is why have clinics that want to help us women get pregnant but have no options of payment plans!! This is why women get severely depressed from this! I want to give my son another sibling and with this clinic its never gonna happen for us us!!Fertility clinic

This is now the second cycle I have had to put on hold due to a lack of availability with Dr. Gell, and it has been incredibly upsetting during an already emotionally and physically demanding fertility journey. Time is not a luxury in fertility treatment, and yet the current system repeatedly puts patients in a position where they are unable to move forward simply because appointments are fully booked by the time they are able to call on the first day of their cycle. It feels disorganized and not designed with true fertility timelines in mind. What makes this even more frustrating is that the clinic appears to be accepting new patients while existing patients are struggling to secure basic cycle-start appointments. That imbalance is difficult to understand and extremely disheartening when every month matters so much. While there are compassionate providers here, the structure of the clinic itself is failing patients who are already in treatment. This process urgently needs to be reevaluated if the clinic intends to provide responsible fertility care.She [Dr. Jennifer Gell] seemed okay to start, but it felt like an act.

After I ended my time with this clinic I spoke with a friend about my experience. My friend said she wished I knew I sought out treatment here because she would have told me to stay far away from Dr. Gell. Very disappointed in her lack of treatment or coming up with potential solutions...We used clomid 3 times and it barely worked. It cost a lot of money...Dr. Zoma has been great...answered an absolute onslaught of questions from me with ease...extremely knowledgeable...does stick to the most evidence based, up to date…Dr. Zoma has been great...answered an absolute onslaught of questions from me with ease...extremely knowledgeable...does stick to the most evidence based, up to date practices...occluded fallopian tube and endometriosis...2 eggs, 8 were mature, all 8 fertilized, and 2 became blastocysts that were thankfully PGT-A normalDr. Zoma was very blunt and straight forward.

He does not allow enough time for questions, unless you are persistent. He often wouldn't even sit during the visit to discuss results or options. He would stand with the door open to review results and provide instruction. We worked with a separate fertility clinic for the male portion of our IVF journey and he would not return their calls to discuss our case.Dr Gell laid each step out and was always up front with me and our options. There was no sugar coating. That is not what I needed. I needed information that my previous doctor…Dr Gell laid each step out and was always up front with me and our options. There was no sugar coating. That is not what I needed. I needed information that my previous doctor could not give me. She is honest and really wants to see her patients have a successful pregnancy...My lining was thining due to the chlomid. We switched to another from (I forget the name) my body responded well the first time and took a trigger shot to ovulate but did not get pregnant. Tried same oral pills again and on the next ultra sound found cysts and waited for my next cycle. Cycle came, tried again. Still no eggs. We have now moved on to injectables. Currently going through treatment to see if I have any more eggs remaining.Dr Zoma is a very knowledgeable person in his field. He made sure to explain every aspect of what was going on.

Has a great bedside manner and is easily approachable with any questions that you may have. He makes you feel comfortable and eases your nerves when you meet him...So far Dr Zoma has has only done my test to see if my tubes were blocked, one of my baseline ultrasounds, and my IVF consultation. He always explains everything thoroughly prior to whatever procedure he is doing, as well as during the procedure itself.He empathized when I felt frustration about having to delay my injection cycle. ... Just realize that he is not a warm fuzzy doctor but that is likely due to cultural differences.…He empathized when I felt frustration about having to delay my injection cycle. ... Just realize that he is not a warm fuzzy doctor but that is likely due to cultural differences. ... he explained everything very well and kept me fully updated every step of the way. He definitely wants the best outcome for his patients. ... Diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst at my first scan. Hoping it would go away he monitored it for several months before scheduling a cystectomy. Cystectomy performed and was clear at my scan a month after surgery. Next month started Follistim and Menopur, then added Ganirelex on day 8. Retrieval on day 15 with planned freezing for PGT-A testing and eventual frozen transfer. 18 eggs retrieved, 17 fertilized, 12 made it to blast, 6 PGT-A tested normal. FET on hold for now due to COVID.Dr Zoma is very to the point and does not sugar coat anything. He can be very blunt and does not like to stray from protocols. When we were diagnosed with infertility he made it…Dr Zoma is very to the point and does not sugar coat anything. He can be very blunt and does not like to stray from protocols. When we were diagnosed with infertility he made it very clear that conceiving would be almost impossible without IVF. He is very cautious with treatments and does not like to take risks. I do not think it is intentional but I felt like more of a number to him. But I do think that he is very good at his job.Dr. Gell was thorough, kind, empathetic, and well-knowledgeable...I always feel like I am more than a diagnosis...She is optimistic but straight-forward. I feel confident in her…Dr. Gell was thorough, kind, empathetic, and well-knowledgeable...I always feel like I am more than a diagnosis...She is optimistic but straight-forward. I feel confident in her expertise and support during this process...prescribed three-four rounds of Clomid with a trigger shot. I am on round two currently. To diagnose, I was administered a femvue surgery. It determined I had clear tubes but low ovarian reserve (AMH). I was diagnosed with “unexplained infertility” after 1 1/2 years of trying. If the Clomid and trigger shots don’t work in the next two cycles, we are moving forward with IUI. From there, we will decide if IVF is the next step for us.He [Dr. Zoma] barely spent any time with me some times he would just pop his head in to say something quickly to me or some times just have his nurse talk to me instead. It is…He [Dr. Zoma] barely spent any time with me some times he would just pop his head in to say something quickly to me or some times just have his nurse talk to me instead. It is also very difficult to speak to anyone since they don’t answer the phones.... He forgets that he is dealing with real people that have real feelings. He doesn’t take the time to explain things fully so you understand. I have to research on my own to figure out what I need to ask him to be informed of anything. Poor bed side manor and no sense of humor. Not personable at all.Dr. Zoma sees me every visit and always takes the time to explain if I have any questions. He has even done my ultrasounds if the tech is busy that moment. He makes sure to ask if…Dr. Zoma sees me every visit and always takes the time to explain if I have any questions. He has even done my ultrasounds if the tech is busy that moment. He makes sure to ask if I understand how to give my injections every cycle. He explained everything in length in the beginning and continues to do so.... WE have done timed intercourse for a full 4 cycles. I started with clomid and hcg injections, since im anovulatory with PCOS. I did one full cycle with clomid. I did take clomid for 2 cycles though. The first there was a mass in my uterus that was found for my mid cycle scan tha tneeded to be removed by Dr. Zoma.Dr. Gell is very kind and knowledgeable. She made me feel better during a tough situation. She was very thorough and never made me feel rushed during any visits. She took time to…Dr. Gell is very kind and knowledgeable. She made me feel better during a tough situation. She was very thorough and never made me feel rushed during any visits. She took time to answer all of my questions...When the first transfer failed I was expecting Dr. Gell to call with results and she never did...For the second (successful) transfer, Dr. Gell called me with the resultsShe [Dr. Gell] explained everything she planned on doing. She explained every test and procedure and possible medication that I may have to do. She was just incredible. I never…She [Dr. Gell] explained everything she planned on doing. She explained every test and procedure and possible medication that I may have to do. She was just incredible. I never once felt overwhelmed with any of the information she was giving me.... She broke down every test she was doing bloodwork for. I had 2 hsg done and she explained the purpose of it and each step along the way. I just had a polyp removed and she came in and checked led to make sure I was ok and even afterwards had such compassion. I've never had a procedure done where I needed to go under general anesthesia and she walked me thru the whole process.Whenever I have seen Dr. Gell, I have been extremely satisfied. On one visit, I had a fill in tech and I left unsatisfied with how I was treated and the lack of explanation but I…Whenever I have seen Dr. Gell, I have been extremely satisfied. On one visit, I had a fill in tech and I left unsatisfied with how I was treated and the lack of explanation but I do not feel as though this goes against Dr. Gell or her clinic....Dr. Gell and her staff have been extremely responsive and have explained all procedures. They have answered my questions thoroughly.... Dr. Gell administered an HSG and ordered extensive bloodwork before beginning treatment.Dr. Zoma was very brief with me, he had confused me with a other patients, and he always rushed me through my appts and sometimes didn't even come in the room and just talked to…Dr. Zoma was very brief with me, he had confused me with a other patients, and he always rushed me through my appts and sometimes didn't even come in the room and just talked to me from the hallway door while I was sitting in the room...When you would ask him questions he would get irritated like I was a bother...when it came to procedures and ultrasounds he was very rough and unpleasant...Due to his accent, it is difficult to understand sometimes. After my second transfer failed he [Dr. Zoma] made changes to the protocol. I wish all test and protocol changes that…Due to his accent, it is difficult to understand sometimes. After my second transfer failed he [Dr. Zoma] made changes to the protocol. I wish all test and protocol changes that could be done happened after the first failed transfer. Every time you go in, he does meet with you and talk about everything. I did wish he had more bed side manner... The first round he was ok with one embryo. The second round I felt he pushed multiple embryos and I did not feel comfortable with that. He did respect my wishes.I am Currently going thru my first IVF cycle and it seems that’s Dr Gell prefers single transfer, especially if PGS testing...was always friendly when I saw her for my ultrasounds…I am Currently going thru my first IVF cycle and it seems that’s Dr Gell prefers single transfer, especially if PGS testing...was always friendly when I saw her for my ultrasounds and procedures. You could tell the office if very busy as she was in and out of the exam room pretty quickly. Most of the time I interacted with her nurse...3 times intercourse with Clomid and HCG trigger- all unsuccessful 4-IUI with Clomid and HCG trigger All unsuccessful My 4th IUI I changed to Femara bc I was experiencing terrible eye floaters. She said she had never heard of that being an issue, but it really bothered me. I wish I would have been offered injections after the 2nd Failed IUI, instead they kept me on the Oral medication (none of which worked).Dr. Gell is a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor who cares for her patients personally and professionally. She believes strongly that her treatment plan and course of action…Dr. Gell is a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor who cares for her patients personally and professionally. She believes strongly that her treatment plan and course of action will succeed and does her best to transfer this hope to her patients. Nevertheless, she is not reluctant to offer a new treatment when others fail....Started with IVF with ICSI. Protocol was birth control pills, followed by Folstim, Menopur, and Ganirelix.[Dr. Jennifer Gell] explained that to limit risks, it is preferred to now only transfer one embryo.

We elected to complete genetic testing so that we knew a chromosomally normal embryo would be selected to prevent risks of miscarriage. If genetic testing is used, our doctor explained that they will only transfer one euploid embryo...Strengths include being completely honest about a patient's chances of conceiving...always takes time to answer all my questions, no matter how silly I feel asking them. No judgement, just honest answers to my concerns.I felt heard. I felt like she listened to me and cared about how I was feeling.

She worked along side me and I never felt in the dark or forgotten about between appointments. ... Dr Gell took the time to talk to me, LISTEN TO ME, and was available whenever I needed her- even for the little, “silly” things. ... She had my husband get his sperm counted and she sent me for an HSG test. Both came back with good results so she upped my clomid dose.I spoke with her [Dr Weil at Geisinger Fertility Center] at my initial appointment and she seemed detail oriented. I followed through with the nurse from then on out. In 6 months…I spoke with her [Dr Weil at Geisinger Fertility Center] at my initial appointment and she seemed detail oriented. I followed through with the nurse from then on out. In 6 months I saw her 2x....She seemed eager to push IVF even tho insurance covered iui she didn't mention it. She said chances are still slim using iui. I have previous children so was not jumping into an out of pocket expense when my insurance covered the iui. It was worth a try until I learned of their package deals you must buy. Also with Geisinger you are forced to pay an up front package deal, even if insurance covers. I think it was 1,300 per iui, not counting medication.He [Dr. Willie Zoma] really listens to what u have to say and he likes to make sure u understand what's going on and he tries to work with u...he's not big on FMLA paperwork...…He [Dr. Willie Zoma] really listens to what u have to say and he likes to make sure u understand what's going on and he tries to work with u...he's not big on FMLA paperwork... when I had my chemical pregnancy after the ivf he was very understanding and caring but would not sign papers or give me any pain meds...I was informed everyone experiences it different otherwise I am very happy with himShe [Dr. Gell] came in and started testing to see my levels. ...

Doctor gell has fantastic bedside manners. She talks about all the options and how things works. ... She also talk about the process of treat ment plans. She ruled out one thing to another. Then she has me go in for surgery to find out I have a tube blocked. Once that was fixed she started me on birth control to regulate my period. Then once that was done we started on clomid.Dr. Gell was involved from the first visit...the consultation. We were already through several it's and my husband and I decided that we wanted to go right for invitro. Dr. Gell…Dr. Gell was involved from the first visit...the consultation. We were already through several it's and my husband and I decided that we wanted to go right for invitro. Dr. Gell explained everything. Went over each detail that was involved and what I was to expect from the initial examination to the day of transfer. The consultation is overwhelming usually but not with Dr. Gell. Everything was on a folder and explained in detail. She told what I needed to do to prepare my body for the procedure. After every visit I was told what to expect even though everything was already explained. She was so compassionate every time she talked to us. She was honest and upfront about the probability of conceiving. I felt safe when I was there like there is no one else's hands I would rather be in. The finances were explained in detail as well which helped tremendously going into it. I felt before I was paying all these separate small bills and never really knowing what they were for.Dr. Zoma is clearly very educated in his field, but in my opinion, lacks compassion and empathy in a field that is full of emotional ups and downs for patients and their partners.…Dr. Zoma is clearly very educated in his field, but in my opinion, lacks compassion and empathy in a field that is full of emotional ups and downs for patients and their partners. After three failed rounds of Clomid/Provera and timed intercourse, I needed to pause my treatment for personal reasons. During my last appointment to establish an interim plan until I was ready to come back, Dr. Zoma was cold and seemed bothered that I needed to take a break from treatment. He spoke directly to my husband about my ovaries, my period, etc. I did not feel heard.Dr. Zoma was sometimes very personable, very nice, and communicated well with us at our appointments. At other appointments I felt like he wasjust there because it was his job. It…Dr. Zoma was sometimes very personable, very nice, and communicated well with us at our appointments. At other appointments I felt like he wasjust there because it was his job. It was a hit or miss.... My first treatment dr zoma wanted to try was IUI. We wanted to go the less expensive route first. After doing the insemination, dr zoma told us that my husbands sperm analysis showed that his sperm was not very mobile, meaning that the chances of iui working was slim. I felt very discouraged. We went back two weeks later after getting a negative pregnancy test. Dr zoma told us that he personally felt we would be wasting our time and money doing more iuis based on my husbands sperm analysis.[Dr. Gell] looked over all the testing I had and told me. “You can get pregnant we just need to teach your body how”...Following an ultrasound where we were prepared to trigger…[Dr. Gell] looked over all the testing I had and told me. “You can get pregnant we just need to teach your body how”...Following an ultrasound where we were prepared to trigger shot she saw that my follicles had not grown enough in order to proceed...She sat in the room as I cried and comforted me told me there were other things we could try and not to be discouraged she had a plan...[Dr. Daggs] does not and will not use IVF or IUI...approach is all natural and customized to each patient...She did not try to place me into a text book standard...I learned cycle…[Dr. Daggs] does not and will not use IVF or IUI...approach is all natural and customized to each patient...She did not try to place me into a text book standard...I learned cycle charting via the creighton model and Dr. Daggs based all of her treatment off of the feedback I received from my charting. She did not wait to change her course of treatment. If she noticed something that needed adjusted, she did so immediately. I had laparoscopic surgery February 2014 and was diagnosed with endometriosis on top of my already diagnosed PCOS. I was on numerous oral medications and injections. My husband and I conceived via intercourse in November 2014.Dr.Gell did not explain treatment possibilities...Very brief consultations...We used menopur and kept increasing the dose up to 450 iu. The doctor refused to pair it with oral…Dr.Gell did not explain treatment possibilities...Very brief consultations...We used menopur and kept increasing the dose up to 450 iu. The doctor refused to pair it with oral meds. After an unsuccessful iui. I pushed for oral meds. It resulted in more eggs than the month of injections alone, but thinned my lining. Dr. Gell proceeded with the iui and it was unsuccessful again...I felt the whole process was just a guess and check.My only complaint is that I wish she [Dr. Jennifer Gell] focused more on testing and diagnosing the problem rather than just treatment. She also doesn't run standard CD3 blood…My only complaint is that I wish she [Dr. Jennifer Gell] focused more on testing and diagnosing the problem rather than just treatment. She also doesn't run standard CD3 blood tests (LH, FSH, AMH, E2) as part of her initial testing like most REs do. I actually had to go to my OB/GYN to get the tests done because she said she thought they were unnecessary (I disagree). I just don't understand diagnosing someone with unexplained infertility without performing simple blood tests which could provide some insight into the problem. After 3+ years of trying without a positive pregnancy test or an answer as to why, I don't feel like I should have to push for additional testing or information that's readily available. I don't feel comfortable moving on to expensive, invasive, treatments if there's more testing that can be done first. She's a great doctor but like witDr. Zoma is a cheerful, jovial, and at times, an abrupt provider. He provides evidence-based practice, and there is no doubt in my mind that his experience paired with him…Dr. Zoma is a cheerful, jovial, and at times, an abrupt provider. He provides evidence-based practice, and there is no doubt in my mind that his experience paired with him "sticking to science" is his greatest asset. He will take the time to answer questions you may have, but it is important to make sure you ask them, because he might not offer a lot of information otherwise. He was a terrific doctor, and I would not have wanted my care from anyone else.We could not be happier with Dr. Gell. She made sure that we understood every single piece of treatment and really listened to our concerns. When Clomid wasn't working, she…We could not be happier with Dr. Gell. She made sure that we understood every single piece of treatment and really listened to our concerns. When Clomid wasn't working, she changed treatment by adding metformin and starting the process to do an IUI...Dr. Gell took the time to go through both mine and my husband's history and really made us feel comfortable. She explained everything and made sure that we were comfortable with every plan.Dr. Gell is a good doctor. I ovulated on a weekend, and she game in on the weekend to do the IUI. She was pleasant and kind. Dr. Gell was always very patient and understanding.…Dr. Gell is a good doctor. I ovulated on a weekend, and she game in on the weekend to do the IUI. She was pleasant and kind. Dr. Gell was always very patient and understanding. She made the IUI process easy to understand. I wish more was done to be sure I was ovulating and that my uterine lining could handle implantation...used clomid with a trigger shot for IUI. On day 13 you went to the office for an ultrasound to see how many mature follicles you had to determine when you should take the shot. That was the day you scheduled the shot. I didn’t like that the nurse did the ultrasound and then you had to wait to hear from to office on a time for the IUI time.I felt like a human because dr gell will always sit down and talk to you about what’s going on with you as a person and than medically she would also discuss what was going on.…I felt like a human because dr gell will always sit down and talk to you about what’s going on with you as a person and than medically she would also discuss what was going on. She would try and be serious yet calming when telling you any kind of bad news...We started with just trying to conceive with clomid but that was not working so she switched me to femara and that seemed to help the follicles grow but when I used the trigger shot I’m not sure if an egg released and we did that 2xs but I was not getting a possitive. So she did femara, follistem and the trigger for iui. I got another bfn. After that she asked that I conseder ivf.

I felt like I was a person and not just a number in his office. When a procedure failed he was honest as what he thought would be the next best option...we tried IVF with ICSI...I know we retrieved 21 eggs, 17 fertilized and 2 were injected as fresh. The others never made it to freeze. We didnt do genetic testing so we had no answers but doctor thought that there was some incompatibility with egg and sperm.Who you would meet
