Boca Fertility Moshe R Peress MD

You don’t often see reviews on fertility services because it’s a topic very private and painful. However, I feel that is important to warn others about bad doctors. Dr. Peress is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. I went there after having a miscarriage and couldn’t get pregnant for several months. He immediately did his standard tests, including blood work, sperm count and HSG to see if my tubes were open. He interpreted all the tests as normal and rushed me and my husband to a cycle of IUI and clomid. I never needed Clomid, because I ovulated on my own. My husband and I were newbies then, so we trusted the doctor. Our insurance only covered diagnostics, so all treatments were out of pocket. However, even things that insurance should have covered, the office would still send us bills and even though I complained, I still had to pay (I don’t want my credit ruined). Later on, when we went to a real doctor, we didn’t get bills for diagnostics, which should have been covered by our insurance. So first cycle did not work, my lining was too thin to begin with. Yet, Clomid can make your lining even thinner, so I don’t understand why the doctor would recommend that, especially if I was ovulating on my own. After a negative pregnancy test at home, his staff wanted me to go to his office and do a blood pregnancy test. Why? I already know it’s negative. I am thinking $$$$$. So we went for a second round of IUI and this time injectable hormones. Even more expensive. Nothing worked with lining. Then Dr. Peress said, he would have to put his «thinking cap on this one». You have 30 years of experience and now you need your thinking cap? I kept complaining to him that since the d&c after the miscarriage, my period was very scant. He completely disregarded that. Now he wanted to move along to IVF or Surrogacy. Wait a minute! So sketchy! Not to mention his nurses were not nice or helpful and Dr. Peress would come in the room and call me a different name. Too many red flags. I ran away as far as I could.
Then I went to Dr. Scott Roseff, a REAL doctor. He looked at the HSG pictures, and even thought Dr. Peress interpreted it as «normal», Dr. Roseff suggested I had scar tissue in my uterus. Along with scan periods, that made perfect sense. Also, my husbands sperm analysis which was interpreted as normal by Dr. Peress, was far from optimal. He gave us some supplements and his swimmers improved. I had surgery and the scar tissue was removed. I can’t believe we spent a lot of money at Dr. Peress’ office and all he wanted to do is push us into expensive cycles without figuring out the cause. We were disgusted by this. I hope this will keep others from making the same mistake. Some doctors only want your money. BEWARE! We don’t live in Florida anymore but glad we stopped going to Boca Fertility before it was too late and all our savings were gone.
