She called us on her vacation to check in when we received difficult news and was there every step of the way for our transfer process. Dr. Bachman is a feelings girlie - she hugs, laughs, smiles, hopes, tears up a little - and I’m here for it all.Fertility clinics

If he didn’t like one thing he would have me in there the next day for the next step on his list...made you feel so welcomed and understood...never judged or questioned me on my fear of infertility. No question was stupid...treated me as family and helped me with all my questions and fears. You never left wondering about anything. And if you did all you have to do is shoot them a message and you always got a response. You never go unnoticed for how many patients they see a day.Although quiet he [Dr. George Kovalevsky] answers questions thoroughly and allows time for discussion and decision making.

My retrieval with her was the most successful...I was self-pay for this cycle so she found affordable drugs that would give me excellent results...[she] suggested we try a modified natural (i.e. take letrozole to induce ovulation, trigger with Ovidrel and transfer a week later with suppository progesterone). These two transfers have felt so much better and I think she was correct in thinking my body didn't like the synthetic hormones.Within the experience the interactions with Dr. Russel was very limited.

He is very blunt, and I found that difficult since this is a very emotional process. When I had my consultation virtual visit after the transfer didn't work, I did not feel there was a lot of empathy just straight to the point. I asked to take a different path based on my insurance coverage and he was open to IUI although it is very unlikely it will be successful due to my chromosomal abnormalities. I think he knows what he is doing and will assist with what you need but there will be no feelings behind it.Dr. K is always kind and willing to listen to my questions and concerns.

My appointments were never on time as scheduled and he never seemed to read my chart before meeting with us. He is stretched way too thin for the volume of patients he sees. There’s no way for him to have a good grasp on every patients situation when he is the only one running the show...as things failed over time, he had no real answers.

High protein diet and vitamins for better egg quality.

I asked if this was wise to do without giving my body a break and I was instructed that it was perfectly fine. Well my first retrieval we got 12 eggs and ended up with 2 blastocysts. The next cycle only weeks later we only got 5 eggs which resulted in only 1 blastocyst.

He is not warm and fuzzy, but I didn't need that. He has a dry sense of humor, but I promise it's there. I would use his services again if needed. Over the years I worked with him for our infertility needs, I came to realize he does actually care, for his patients...High protein diet.

He evaluates your situation as a whole and was sure to figure out why before proceeding with something that would not work just to do it. We was very forthcoming and told you everything you needed to know and gave you all your options.... I initially thought we would do one transfer and he strongly suggested two. Which worked out just the way we had anticipatedDr. Russell is extremely smart and knowledgeable which to the a sensitive person can be off putting.

However, my husband and I found comfort in that he was the best person to achieve our goals of having a family. When we walked into his office at the ripe old age of 38 wanting to try for a third child he actually smiled and said that we have done it before we can do it again...Be prepared to be patient because there is only one doctor performing the procedures and answering questions your appointments may not always run on time.Clinic route
