Dr. William Dodds is pretty good! He's at Michigan Reproductive: http://www.michiganivf.com/ He didn't know as much about PCOS as my regular endo, and he did want me off the Gluc at 12 weeks. When I told him my regular endo had suggested continuing it throughout the pregnancy, he said that was fine. He seemed very skilled to me, as well as being caring and compassionate. He appreciates intelligent questions.

His partner, Dr. Young, is equally skilled but I found his bedside manner to be seriously lacking. I saw him for my first consult and he seemed very irritated by all my questions, plus I had a few other not-so-great experiences with him. I avoided him whenever possible, but I did have to see him a few times, and things always went fine (except for not liking him).

Good luck!

Hi there,

I would not suggest Dr. Dodds at all! They do not participate with any isurance and it makes it difficult to get all of your testing done. Dr. Dodds was incredibly rude to my husband when he questioned their decision to no longer accept insurance. I have also heard bad things about Dr. Young.

I went through Dr. Eward who is now retired, but his nurse practioner, Muriel DeVos, is still practicing and she is very knowledgable about PCOS and fertility issues. She can do everything for you except IVF. She is a part of a Dr. Robert DeJonge's office, he is a family practiioner located in Rockford and on East Paris. If you call Dr. DeJonge's office you can schedule an appt with Muriel directly, you dont need to see Dr. DeJonge. Muriel did my IUI when I got preg with my son and we planned on doing it again but then found out I was already preg. She is very knowledgable about the benefits of metformin.

If you need her number, plese email me or if you have other questions.
