East Bay Fertility

About East Bay Fertility

What is East Bay Fertility?

East Bay Fertility is a fertility clinic in Utah, and fertility care is what the practice mainly does. Its services include IVF in several forms, including minimal stimulation and traditional IVF, plus IUI (intrauterine insemination), ICSI, male factor infertility, egg and embryo freezing, PGT (preimplantation genetic testing), and preserving fertility. Bio-identical hormone therapy is one of its services, and it is the part of the clinic this write-up covers.

The hormone treatment uses bio-identical hormone pellets, which contain either estradiol or testosterone. The pellets are placed under the skin of the abdomen or the upper buttocks under local anesthesia. The clinic has 24+ years of experience in bio-identical hormone therapy. Its named prescribers are Larry G. Andrew, D.O., Holly Lovell, APRN, FNP-C, MSN, Reva Blaney, FNP-C, and Shannon Sharp, FNP-C. In its own words: "Before insertion, we do blood tests to find the right dosage for each person."

It describes itself as having two Utah locations. Lehi is the town tied to its hormone service, and it does not publish a street address. It has a 4.7 rating on Google from 368 reviews, and Google lists it as a fertility clinic.

What does it cost?

It publishes a $200 new patient consultation fee. It does not publish a price for hormone pellet therapy. It also does not say whether medication is included, whether it takes insurance, or how membership and cancellation work. It says financing is available. Its price list covers fertility services, and its IVF packages state that anesthesia and medication are not included, so ask whether the same applies to hormone visits.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and adjusts your hormone prescription, and whether that prescriber is the same person you will see for follow-up. Ask what the blood tests before insertion cost, and whether the pellet visit and local anesthesia are in the price. Ask whether the pellets are brand-name or compounded, since the clinic's material does not say.

Ask whether a phone consultation can cover hormone care if you live outside Utah, and which Utah office you would attend. Ask what Thomas Chang's role is, because he appears on the team list with no credential given. Finally, ask how cancellation and refunds work, since none are stated.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want bio-identical hormone pellets from a practice whose main work is fertility care, and you are willing to get the price and the prescriber's role in writing before you book. If you need a published price for hormone therapy before you call, this clinic does not give one yet.
