All what he cares of is collecting money from patients through pushing them to IVF and marketing his own business supplements that no one else is selling but the company he wants us to buy from !! From the first visit he is pushing and rushing for IVF without even listening to our concerns or providing us with more detailed information . I have felt so bad in his clinic , felt like we are a pocket of money $$$$ and he wants to collect from us as much as he can .. He can work as a business man but not a doctor who care for patients with ethics and manners !

2+ years of TTC naturally and 2 losses. At the time of our consult I had had one miscarriage which was fairly straight forward. My body knew what to do and I didn't require any medical attention to pass the tissue. My system was back to normal within on cycle. My husband and I were okay taking things slow and at the consult wanted to discuss some basics... supplements, lifestyle changes, diet, etc. Dr. T sounded annoyed and kept insisting we start IUI or IVF. I told him I'm okay if we end up there, but I want to start with less invasive measures. Begrudgingly he sent over some information, which included a link to some supplements I'd never heard of. It was all kind of mysterious (read: sketchy) that I couldn't find more information on the company and the supplements themselves. I ordered them anyways, deciding the Doctor obviously knows best. I realized after the fact that he is a "rep" for this company and gets a commission from the sale of supplements (you know, like a beach body coach).

When the 2nd miscarriage had complications I tried getting help from Dr. T several times, calling every few weeks and saying something is wrong. I knew the pregnancy wasn't viable but my body wasn't "clearing everything out" the way it had previously.
I was repeatedly turned away and the dr refused to talk to me. Finally 4 MONTHS later I went on an old HCG requisition and had blood drawn which showed low levels still in my system. **I had been bleeding almost constantly since the miscarriage and knew something was wrong, but the doctor let me suffer with remnant fetal tissue still inside me for months**. Previously my cycles had been very regular, but since then (exactly 1 year ago now) my cycles are a mess, I'm not ovulating, don't get real periods just light spotting for 3-5 weeks straight, 2 weeks no bleeding then back to light spotting. My system is a total mess, I've gained 50lbs, have grown lots of facial hair, lots of hormonal issues.

Once we discovered that HCG was still present in my body he brought me in for a HSG. Did not acknowledge me when I walked in the room, didn't introduce the student doctor that was present and ask if it was okay for him to sit in on the procedure, didn't warn me before inserting the speculum, didn't warn me before inserting the catheter, didn't check in with me while I cried on the table, surprised by the pain. It may be the most dehumanizing encounter of my life. I didn't feel like a person he was caring for, just a body. When the procedure was done he literally slapped me on the knee (playfully, not hard) and proclaimed, "all good!" to indicate to me to leave the room. After getting dressed I waited outside in my change room with the door open when the nurse walked by and I caught her by surprise. She asked why I was still there and I said "... don't I talk to the doctor now?". And she said, "oh, no you don't need to talk to the doctor, he said on your next cycle call the office and we will start IVF." How did he know I wanted that? He never asked, but from day 1 he jumped right to IVF and IUI, the money makers.

That was the last time I considered him my doctor and I promptly asked my GP for a referral elsewhere. He has no bedside manner but I'm actually a medical professional myself and don't mind that so much, I prefer to talk medicine more than emotions. The procedure was bad but my biggest concern was his blatant negligence following my last miscarriage. My cycles had been regular and normal before but I've wasted a year of my life not even being able to try because I'm not ovulating and let me tell you it's miserable living 90% of your life with bleeding.

Run away from Dr. Shaun Tregoning. He is arrogant, dismissive and generating revenue is more important to him than patient care.

Been ttc for over 3 years now with “unexplained” infertility. We did 2 rounds of IUI in 2020 with olive fertility with no success. After that we decided to try naturally for a couple more years and now feel it’s time to do IVF as we still have not conceived a baby. Last week I went in for a hysteroscopy as I was told this is mandatory before we can star treatment. Now up to this point myself nor my husband have not met Dr. Tregoning as our first consultation was over the phone during the start of covid in 2020. Any time I have visited the office a nurse was the one to do the procedure on me, even the IUI treatments, so I wasn’t expecting to see him when I entered the room for my hysteroscopy. I already felt so uncomfortable and nervous about the procedure and walking into the room wrapped in a sheet. He sat there in the chair and stared at me, he didn’t even say hello or try to make me feel at ease in any way. After he finished the procedure which was more painful than I anticipated it to be, he informed me that I have a polyp on my uterus that needs to be removed but will be performed at the hospital under anaesthetic. He said that we can continue with the egg retrieval but will have to wait until after the surgery to do the embryo transfer as the polyp can cause a miscarriage, but does not necessarily cause infertility. He also said it could take some time before I even get in to the hospital for the surgery. He left the room so abruptly I didn’t even have the chance to ask any questions, or to even comprehend what he had just told me. His nurses were really nice and seemed to have empathy for what I was going through but Dr. Tregoning was disturbingly cold. I left their feeling like I had been violated. When I went back to the car where my husband was waiting for me I was so upset and had so many questions. We originally met with his clinic 2 years ago and not once was a hysteroscopy mentioned to us, never did they explain that it could help us find some answers if they were to find something. Especially since they did 2 rounds of IUI on me, why would this not be something they looked at before that procedure if there is a chance I will miscarry?! I researched polyps on uterus and found multiple studies that showed high percentage rate of infertile women conceived within the first year after having polyp(s) removed from their uterus! After this experience and reading the other horror stories on here I will not be returning to Dr. Tregoning ever again.

Had an in hospital procedure. Prior to the procedure, there was one office visit. I was in the hospital for 12 days, and the only time he visited was to inform me that he needed the bed. He totally botched the procedure and I needed follow-up corrective surgery. This was 12 years ago, and the after-effects have stayed with me all this time. He is a truly terrible surgeon.

Had an in hospital procedure done by him- I had to get abnormal cells burned off my cervix. Anyways, I asked him right before the procedure how badly it would hurt - he said “not too bad”. Let me tell you I almost passed out from how badly it hurt. I was seeing stars. My cramps were excruciating. He hadn’t told me to take anything prior to my procedure to help with the pain, and he told me nothing for the after care. Once he was finished the procedure he left me there on the table without word. When I stood up I had almost fainted once again- I was lucky to have had someone drive me there because my cramps were so excruciating on the drive home, I was doubled over in extreme pain. He gave me NO warning. No preparation instructions. he left me out to dry. If I hadn’t had someone there for me I would’ve likely fainted in the hospital by myself. I had no idea what to expect and was quite frankly blindsided by the whole experience.

I will say this happened in 2016 but it has always stuck with me. I got the urge to google him and saw all these bad reviews and thought I’d share my piece. I hope no one has to go through what I did. The fact I still think about this experience 5 years later should say something. Honestly traumatizing.

My experience is almost EXACTLY like that of the reviewer from Aug. 7, 2021, except that I've only had one IUI so far. I felt like he was just trying to put me through the same stuff as everyone else - IUI, IUI, IUI, IVF - collect as much money as possible, next. I spoke with him for 5 minutes for an "initial consultation," then never saw him again until my IUI, when he shoved something up me and said, "Hmmm, well, that's not good." When I asked him to explain, he curtly told me, "Well, I dunno what you don't understand." It's not like I'm a fertility specialist, dude! I walked out crying.

I was also told that I would not be able to speak with the doctor until I was ready for IVF. I feel bad for the nurses who have to cover up for this guy. I'm currently looking for a new fertility specialist.

Disclaimer - If I could have given 0 stars for Helpfulness and Knowledge, I would have. The staff are okay, and because of them, he's punctual. Other than that, 4 thumbs down (toes included!).

After struggling to conceive for over a year and a half we finally got in to a specialist, Dr Tregoning. Right away we were told our only option was to start IUI. All we had prior to this suggested treatment was a 5 minute a phone call, where he refused to listen to any of my concerns and did not want to do ANY diagnostic testing. We did two unsuccessful IUI’s before deciding we did not want to do any more without another conversation with him first. We were told unless we committed to a round of IVF, and finished our last round of IUI, he wouldn’t even speak with us. We chose to leave instead and only then was he willing to have a second phone call with me, again refused any kind of diagnostics testing. He hadn’t even asked me about my cycle length, let alone any other details that could perhaps give a reason to my infertility. He told me I had a 3% chance of ever conceiving on our own, and that IVF was our only option. We chose to leave the clinic and found care else where. I found a new specialist who diagnosed me with PCOS, hypothyroidism, low progesterone and started treating me for my actual issues. She went through my cycle history, health history, tested me for everything she could think of. Within 6 months of my new doctor I got pregnant through a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. With the testing I got done, we also found out that without proper treatment after conception, I would never have been able to have a viable pregnancy. So being told to do IVF would have been a complete waste of time and money with where my body was clearly at. I have never been more disgusted and disappointed with a doctor in my life. A complete money grab. I would recommend if you are looking for a specialist, not to waste your precious time, money and emotional energy on this man. I remember reading other reviews similar to this before we went to him, and I wish I would have listened. There is a reason so many other people have left poor reviews!

I am pregnant in 8 weeks +3days today! Dr. Tregoning is so knowledgeable and communicates with patience. The whole team is nice. I have so many questions all the time and always have detailed suggestions. I feel safe to have them.

So much misinformation was given by Dr. Tregoning. Had several conditions that were ignored to just push through with IUI; one of such conditions is unable to sustain a pregnancy, yet full steam ahead to take my money regardless. The nurses gave conflicting direction and instructions. Didn’t like the fact that he had a yelling fit at his nurses when I was waiting for ultrasound -note: the walls aren’t soundproof. Felt like a number ($$$) and not taken care of as a patient. Switched clinics and it is a night and day of difference.
