Urolgist Rec
Can anyone recommend a urologist for DH in Manhattan, Queens or Nassau?
LI IVF has one but Melville is too far for him to travel bc he works in Manhattan.
TIA!

Not sure what your DH has to go for, but my DH uses Dr. Natan Bar-Chama at RMA NY. We like him a lot. In fact, we have an appt with him tomorrow. He specializes in male infertility.

Re: Urolgist Rec
Thank you! Do you know if we could use the urologist at that office without using their fertility doctors?

Re: Urolgist Rec
My DH saw Dr. Mellinger in Garden City. Don't have his info anymore, but you can google him. He only saw him once for exam and then a second time for follow-up, but he said he was fine.

Yes, you can. Do you mind me asking what your husband needs a urologist for?
For us, DH has been seeing the urlogist for about 5 months but I haven't needed to see an RE yet...since we don't have full answers on DH yet. I'm hoping tomorrow gives us something.

Re: Urolgist Rec
We started seeing an RE bc I have irregular cycles and wasn't ovulating.Dh had an sa with my ob and it came back slightly low morph and low motility. He has a good count and volume though. The re repeated the sa and his morph is still a little low at 8% and his motility was 38% so he wants him to see a urologist but said his numbers are okay for iui or ivf. Good luck tomorrow. I hope you get some answers!

My DH saw Dr. Mellinger also but he was not happy with him. His bedside manner left a lot to be desired (I was with him for the consult).

Thanks! I'm super nervous for today's appt. DH has azoospermia - or a 0 count on his SA. He's been on medication for months but now he has other issues. I think DH will need surgery to see if they can find any live swimmers, but he just started a new job so I'm not sure that taking days off are possible.
I'm just so nervous...about 5 more hours til his appt...and it can't come fast enough!
Regardless, Dr. B-H has a great bedside manner and really knows what he's talking about, from what I've seen so far.

We didn't have good news for DH so we're moving on to IVF. I have an appt with an RE and then we'll schedule IVF to coordinate with DH's surgery to look for swimmers...ouch.
While I can't believe we're going to have to do IVF, I am glad we finally have a plan. It's been a long 6 months of not knowing anything. So now at least we can move on and get this started!

Just my opinion, but I'd recommed a urologist who specializes in male fertility. I've been through kidney stones and I wouldn't send my DH to that urologist for this.
