Hi Mako,

I have done 4 full stim cycles through IVF Australia, both with Dr Quinn & Dr Tucker (Dr Tucker has been my gyno on Central Coast for about 5 yrs as well).
Unfortunately we have been unsuccessfull so far, however, I have to say that they are both wonderful doctors in terms of bedside manner, and the team of nurses and other staff are fantastic.
Once you book in with them, you will have your initial consult with Dr Quinn, (he will go through everything with you and decide treatment, how many embryos to put back, etc), but after that, you won't really see him again, Dr Tucker does the collection & transfer.
Everything else in between is done by the nurses (blood work, scans & meds).
You really only deal with the doctors for the big things, the nurses do everything in between, which is, I guess, what keeps their costs down compared to everyone else.
I cannot speak highly enough about the team at IVF Australia, they have just been so supportive and really make you feel like you are important, and not just a number.

We are about to start cycle no 5 in the next few months, but we're seeing another clinic in Sydney - this has been an extremely hard decision for us to make because we really feel like we have an exceptional relationship with the team at Gosford, (4 years with the same people is a long time!), but my specialist in Sydney has referred me to an IVF Dr in Sydney that deals specifically with implantation problems, which is what we have.
Otherwise we would be more than happy to continue where we are.

Good Luck with everything - I hope my rambling has helped a little (?!), keep in touch and let me know if you like everyone as much as I do!
