Re: Need input on these RE please...
I go to Dr. Brenner at LI-IVF and have been very happy with him! He's soft spoken, direct and to the point, and is responsible for my BFP!!

Yeah - just curious about each doctor. Do you see all or call and request a specific doctor?

Re: Need input on these RE please...
Dr. Cain and Dr. Stelling are both part of RSNY and I saw them both when I went there. I had a great experience there and am pregnant after our first IVF. My main RE is Dr. San Roman, although at that practice you see everyone. Dr. Stelling did my embryo transfer and I really liked him and Dr. Cain I saw a lot and she was great too.
What I will tell you is to make a few appt's to see who YOU like the best. You will find people who have had good and bad experiences at every place. You want to be somewhere you feel comfortable and that you can trust. If you have any specific questions about the practice I would be happy to answer them for you

Re: Need input on these RE please...
Im a happy patient of LI-IVF. Dr. Kenigsberg is my RE, but I do know that all the drs will discuss together your procedures/protocols, etc and depending on what day you have ERs, ETs, you could get any of them doing it.
I go to the Lake Success office, but I think they all rotate between there, Melville and Port Jeff.
Good luck!
p.s. I was a former patient of RSofNY/Mineola office - very unhappy with office staff and protocol.

Re: Need input on these RE please...
I am a patient at LI IVF and I see Dr. Brenner. He and Dr. Kenigsberg are rated as top doctors in the field. Dr. Droesch is also a doctor with LI IVF. I have been very pleased with the care I have gotten from their practice. They have offices in Lake Success, Melville and Port Jefferson.
ETA: Be sure to choose a practice that has an office close to your work or home because if you start treatments there are many early morning appointments.

I didn't go there met Dr D but was not crazy about her. However, a LOT of posters on here have used them with success. We went with RMA but I don't think they are in your list.

Re: Need input on these RE please...
I was a patient at LIIVF and I was Dr. Droesch's patient. I really did like her. But, when you are a patient at LIIVF, you will likely be seen by all the doctors. I recently got a BFP in May and Dr. Brenner did my transfer. Good Luck!

Re: Need input on these RE please...
Well Dr. Cain and Dr. Stelling are both at RSONY.
What you need to know about a LOT of RE's is that when you see them, they may be your main Dr...but you usually will see all the DR s in the practice and its not like they consult with your Main Dr( although I think , Dr., Brenner and Dr. KEinsingberg do this, but Im not sure).
I know at RSONY...I had no main Dr. and was annoyed after 11 months not one of the Dr's knew who I was by name.
I saw another practice not on yoru list that I liked and they knew me, all the partners...
So all I can say is I was not pleased with them.
Dr. Stelling was nice. Dr. Cain told me after very minimal testing I should take a personal loan out and have IVF or else they couldnt help me and I was wasting their time.
eta- I went to mineola and not the SB office for RSONY and I think that makes a difference.
I think you should look into the Cliic itself vs. the individual drs first and then see. Beacuse you want to like for the most part all the Drs there.
For my IVF cycle, I never once till my retrieval in 8 weeks saw my main Dr b/c of scheduling conflicts.

Re: Need input on these RE please...
I was a pt of RSOFNY who Dr.Cain and Dr.Stelling are affiliated with...I have my DS thanks to them as well as another on the way...Dr.Stelling was my favorite in the practice (very funny, knowledgable, completely approachable etc..)...Dr.Cain is a little more straight laced but very knowledgable and I always felt comfortable with everything she said ...She was who gave me my IUI
<---------------------(Dr.Cain got me here!)
As others have said, you will see all the Dr.'s in the practice (I went to Stony Brook) but for the most part, these are the 2 I saw (Dr.San.Roman a few times)

Re: Need input on these RE please...
1) Dr. Brenner - LI-IVF - very soft-spoken, nice and generally positive. Although if he thinks there is anything bad going on he can be a real "debbie downer". If you go to him, you will consult with him, any procedures will be done with him, but IVF transfers and retrievals are done by the "on call" Dr. and IUI's are done by whichever Dr. or PA is available at the time.
2) Dr. Cain - RSNY - She was actually very nice when I went there...but a little too abrupt for my liking. The biggest problem with RSNY is that you may see her for your consult and never again. They rotate Drs. so there's no way of knowing who is where and when.
3) Dr. Droesch - LI-IVF - Have never met her (and I'm a patient there for over a year) but I know other people who use her and are very happy.
4) Dr. Kenigsberg - LI-IVF - very nice, but extremely upfront. This is a Dr. who tells it like it is - good or bad. He is my current RE and I like him because he is not a handholder and tells it as he sees it.
5) Dr. Palter - I know nothing.
6) Dr. Stelling - RSNY - I met her a few times and the only thing I can really say is that she was the only one who did my IUI's with very little pain (my issue, not theirs) and she tended to be very, very upbeat and positive.
At LIIVF you will generally see your RE for anything major...unless someone else is on call. But, it seems as though only Brenner and Kenigsberg do the transfers and retrievals so you will see one or the other.
At RSNY you will see whoever is in the office that day...there doesn't seem to be any routine regarding it. I was there for over a year and saw my RE (SanRoman) twice the whole time.

Re: Need input on these RE please...
I've been seeing Dr Palter and I really like him and his office staff. I know the website lists a commack location (among others), and I requested a commack appointment, but all of my appointments have been in his syosset office. I was told that the other offices are just for cycling patients.

I agree with the above. I went to the SB office and all the nurses and staff there are so nice. I saw Dr. Cain most of the time. She is not lovey-dovey, but she knows her stuff, she will listen to your concerns. After I had my m/c I asked about baby aspirin and the recurrent m/c panel and she was very receptive and had it done, even though they usually only do it after 2+ loees.

Re: Need input on these RE please...
I go to RSNY and LOVE them. You will see everyone and they are all very nice. I go to West Islip and Stonybrook.
My favorites are Dr. Stelling (a man) and Dr. San Roman. Dr. Cain is also really nice, though as someone mentioned, more matter of fact. The only one I haven't loved so far is Dr. Bray and have only seen her once - she knew her stuff though and you have to respect that.
If you ask at the desk, they will tell you who is where when you make your appointment. The staff is great though.

Re: Need input on these RE please...
Pretty much agree with Gerty about Brenner and Kenigsberg. Dr. Droesch is very nice, I've met her a few times. She is compassionate as well.
Good luck
