Any thoughts? Which doctors are good? Any success stories that any of you want to share? I have read pretty good reviews so far but wanted to get your opinions ladies as I am highly considering changing practices and they have an office that's close to my job so I'm thrilled about that!
TIA!

Re: RSONY

I'm sorry to say, PASS. This was the first place I started IF tx and the worst. I know two other people who failed here after repeated attempts. Just look on these boards under search and read the comments.

I would make appointments with different places and doctors and see how you feel about them and if they can work with your schedule and needs. You are going to get people who either love or hate a practice depending on their own success there. I was successful at a practice that doesn't get rave reviews on here and there were times I left an appointment in tears after being told something I didn't like but in the end I knew they were doing their jobs and I did ultimately have success with them. Try and seek other opinions but going and meeting with them not just by what you read here.

Re: RSONY

Thank you for all your advice/opinions.

Re: RSONY

Set up a consult. Some Drs there are more willing to do certain tests than others. Dr. Sung is the head and even though she is not warm and fuzzy, she did the correct order of tests and got me a decent game plan. I left there not happy and went for a leading RE with broader scope- turns out I had the same results with slightly lower embryo quality with the better office. The thing with RS is they and many other REs on LI do not believe in immune issues as do certain others so for some, they can not help but others can. They were great with me once I got pregnant and needed to see someone to monitor and they took me in with open arms while the other RE refused bc I didn't have the pregnancy through their treatments. (It was a shocking natural pregnancy). So you will get mixed reviews here. Some girls here had real horror stories too. Just be your own advocate and really stay on top of your treatment if you chose there bc they are crazy busy.

Thank you ladies!!

I used them for my son 6 years ago and felt they were fine. Big practice and not very personal but I was fine with that. When I was trying for baby 2 for the last year I switched to LI IVF because it was closer to my house and easier to get to since I didn't have the job I had trying for my son. I was not too happy with LI IVF during the whole year + of trying. Though there is a lot of things that are very similar in the two practices- both big, doctors don't do your appts, in and out another number to them. So if you're ok with the way LI IVF was run then you'd be ok with RS. I NEVER saw doctors at LI, even when I was doing IVF. My last IUI I left LI IVF and went back to RS (this was just in June). I saw a doctor EVERY day I was there except once which they still offered one and I declined. This time I was using the Islip office which is much smaller than the Mineola office i used 6 years ago. I absolutely LOVED Dr. Stelling. He did EXACTLY what I asked him to do with my cycle when other doctors wouldn't. At consult he sat with me for a long time going through my paperwork and listening to what I had to say and what I wanted. I was sooooooooo much happier with my experience at RS than at LI IVF. Wish I never went to LI IVF (for a few different reasons). So personally I absolutely recommend RS. PM with any questions.

Re: RSONY

I would go elsewhere if you can.

Re: RSONY

Had no issues, I used Dr. Saketos she was so nice and I liked that I was able to sit with her after most visits and discuss unlike LIIVF. I would go for a consultation before doing anything.

Re: RSONY

I will say I had success with them conceiving via IVF in 2013 and 2014(delivered in 2013 and 2015).Prior to them I spent a year and a half at North Shore with about 4/5 FET and a fresh cycle with no BFP. RSNY did a 360 (not necessarily in a good way) from when I first started with them to my FET in 2014. Staff changes, longer wait times at monitoring appointments, etc and I was quite annoyed (posting on here) my frustrations.

I used Dr Trivax who was my primary RE and did both of my transfers(adjusted my cycle for him to do it). He's great (changing my protocol and calling me back(within minutes) once I conceived when I had a heavy bleed and giving me his cell so I wouldn't have to go through the office, etc. The practice itself sucks(Mineola location) but some people on here had said (at the time I was using them) the West Islip(I think) and Stony Brook locations were better.

STAY FAR AWAY.
