RE recommendations

We are moving forward with seeking an RE and my doctor asked if I had a preference on who she referred me to.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Re: RE recommendations

  • If you're in Des Moines, really there's only Dr. Young or Dr. Cooper at Mid Iowa Fertility. Otherwise there are RE's in Iowa City.

    I used both dr's at Mid Iowa Fertility on three separate "adventures" and they've been great for me.

    Thank you, my PCP mentioned something about Dr. Cooper.  I had no idea there were really only 2 in DSM.

  • lol yes, not a ton of options.  :)  Dr Cooper is younger and I think sees more of the newer patients. Dr Young is a family friend actually which made it sort of awkward to see him but he's a great Dr. You'll be in good hands either way. Best of luck!! I've seen a lot of dreams come true after amazing challenges.

  • We were referred to Dr Young by Dh's urologist so that's who we are working with. We've only seen him once but have liked him so far.
