Recommendations on Portland Area Fertility Clinics
Hi everyone-
My husband and I are facing either IUI or IVF to conceive our second child, due to the treatment he had for prostate cancer. I am wondering if anyone has experience (good, bad or otherwise) with any of the fertility clinics in the Portland area? And/or if there was a particular doctor you worked with? I'm just trying to gather as much information as possible at this point.
Thank you in advance!
E.

My husband and I underwent IVF about 5 years ago and used Dr. Matteri and Hessla at The Portland Clinic for Reproductive Medicine in NW Portland. We had a wonderful result on the first try. They have a fabulous staff and have a very high success rate. You will be very happy with them.

We went to OHSU Fertility Specialists & saw Dr. Lee. We had a great experience. We were lucky to only have to give IVF one try & now we have beautiful 11 month old twin boys in addition to our 5 year old son. Best of luck to you!

I live here in Portland, Oregon. My sister is in the process of becoming a surrogate mother for a couple in need. By far, the best place I believe is OHSU Fertility Clinic. They are probably a more expensive option, but she and the egg donor have had a very good experience with everything there including the staff and even short wait times for appointments. Good luck with everything!

I would also highly recommend the OHSU clinic. I worked with Dr. Patton and did IUI. It was sucessful and I now have two amazing babies. Good luck to you in this journey.

We saw Dr Matteri and had excellent care and service. Success on the second cycle! Very very knowledgable Docs in that office. Occassionally I was underimpressed with the bedside manner (specifically, docs dealing with patients emotions). But I NEVER at any moment felt there was better care to be found elsewhere. Probably why they are so successful is because they focus themselves on being brilliant clinical physicians, not counselors. The nurses take up the slack where the docs leave off (typical). Consider seeking acupuncture to improve your odds of success. Good luck! Think positive!

After 4 miscarriages, the OHSU Midwives misreferred me to the OHSU fertility clinic. (I should have been referred to Perinatology- because I had no problem conceiving. I eventually ended up with Perinatology and a BEAUTIFUL baby boy). Anyway, the doctor I saw at the OHSU Fertility clinic was Dr. Patton and he was very laid back and nice. The clinic has a good reputation and very good outcomes from what I have heard.
