We travel from Nevada to Henry Fertility instead of being seen locally, and it has been the best decision for our family. Thanks to Dr. Henry, Danielle, and the entire team, we had a successful IVF transfer in 2021 and welcomed our beautiful daughter, who is now 3. This past August, we did RIVF and are so excited to be expecting again. We couldn’t recommend Henry Fertility enough! Thank you so much for all you do to help us build our family.

They charged us $268 for a ~30-minute appointment with a nurse practitioner (not Dr. Henry). Be aware of who you will be meeting with during your appointment, especially if the location is outside Indy.

**Warning: Do Not Trust Dr. Michael Henry at Henry Fertility** I feel compelled to warn others about our extremely disappointing experience with Dr. Michael Henry. My wife was upfront about her large fibroid—10 cm—before we even began any fertility treatments. Despite this, Dr. Henry assured us that the fibroid would not be an issue and encouraged us to proceed without any hesitation. Fast forward just a month before treatment began, and my wife suffered a miscarriage. We later learned that the fibroid's size significantly impacted her uterus, which was only 10 cm, leaving no room for the baby to grow. It's infuriating to think that we were misled, and Dr. Henry downplayed a serious condition that ultimately contributed to our loss. I cannot stress enough how important it is for patients to receive honest and thorough assessments of their medical situations. Dr. Henry’s dismissive attitude towards the fibroid was not only irresponsible but devastating for us. He talked about money and cost most of the appointment. Please, do yourself a favor and seek care elsewhere. Trust your instincts and be wary of the reassurances given by this doctor. Your health and peace of mind are far too important to risk.

We were with Henry Fertility for a year (4 IUIs, 1 canceled egg retrieval, 1 egg retrieval, and 3 embryo transfers - all failed), before we moved on to a different clinic. I was not aware of the lack of care I was receiving before switching clinics. Also, I waited to write this review until we had success at our new clinic. I got pregnant within 6 months at my new clinic because my doctor saw me as an individual and provided actual solutions rather than getting me in and out as quickly as possible. Before our last embryo transfer with Dr. Henry - I asked Danielle, “Is there ANYTHING else we can do before this last transfer? This is our last opportunity. Any extra testing? Vitamins? Medication changes?” Her response was, “be the healthiest you can be”. Not only did that immediately put the blame on me, but it was a complete copout. There were in fact other things I could have done - within one visit at my new clinic, I was told to take x,y,z vitamins, saline sonogram, HSG test, full blood panel, and we were told to switch our sperm donor (using donor sperm due to MFI). On my first visit with my new doctor, she pointed out that the sperm we were using the entire time at Henry had non-progressive motility. I was shocked that this was missed. That would have saved us 4 IUIs AND an IVF cycle using that donor. All it took was my new doctor actually taking the time to deep dive into my records. When I asked Dr. Henry if he had any possible explanation for our transfers not working, he said “well your eggs didn’t look great” without any further explanation. This led us to believe we wouldn’t have success with IVF and were discussing embryo adoption. Had I listened to Dr. Henry, I wouldn’t be typing this pregnant with my own egg that was actually perfectly fine. My new doctor explained exactly what she saw with my eggs and thought it maybe was because my STIM meds were too high. She was right. Since I was a poor responder to the meds, Dr. Henry’s solution was to pump up the dosage. I was on 525 of Menopur AND 525 of Gonal, which looking back is INSANE. Both say on their packaging not to go higher than 450. Not only did this tank the quality of my eggs, which I do believe was why none of the transfers stuck, but it also cost us an extra $15k in medications. There is no evidence that shows a dose higher than the max of 450 will yield better results - it is actually doing more harm than good and a complete money pit. My new doctor completely changed my IVF protocol because I was a poor responder. Dr. Henry had the opportunity to make a change as I had a canceled cycle giving him data to go off of. We instead just bulldozed ahead with a higher dose. I want to point out that this clinic batches patients.I felt there were too many patients and not enough nurses. It felt like herding cattle every time I went in for a monitoring Ultrasound. They do it first come first serve and tell you to make sure you arrive before they open so you don’t have to wait. This made it so stressful, especially traveling from Terre Haute. I would leave my house at 6:00 am to hopefully not have to wait an hour for an ultrasound. I also wouldn’t hear from the nurses until sometimes 6 or 7 PM for my daily med dosage. It was just completely unnecessary added stress. Please do your research on this clinics' success rates. The proof is in the data. Dr. Henry is a nice person and a good doctor so it does make me sad to write this, but maybe he just has too many patients he is trying to juggle which takes away from the individual care everyone deserves when trying to start a family. Things slipped through the cracks. I fear this is going to get worse as Henry is opening more satellite offices, which means more patients. I feel it is important to share our story as we had a COMPLETELY opposite experience at our new clinic.I truly do not feel like our success with them was luck but rather individualized care that everyone deserves. Henry follows a plan A for everyone, and you will struggle if your body doesn't respond to that protocol. There's no plan B or C.

Honestly cannot recommend this place based on the service I have had so far. Dr. Henry seemed knowledgeable and had a game plan in place. His staff was supposed to call in prescriptions for me last week and that still hasn't been done. I've emailed and tried calling without a response. Based on this alone I do not feel confident that this practice has my best interests at heart or a level of care that I deem acceptable. Really disappointed and disheartening to experience this right after my first appointment. * Follow up edit* After waiting 2 weeks for them to actually call in my prescriptions I foolishly kept my ultrasound appointment because I really like Dr. Henry and just thought this could still work out. When I confirmed everything with the clinic I was never told this was out of my network and I would have to pay out of pocket. $315 for an ultrasound is insane. At this point I will have to move to a different clinic and start over again.
