I also found them hard to get a hold of and actually have them call me back. Twice I had asked them to send medical records to my other doctors and in both cases, it took many times of me calling back and following up for them to send them.Dr. Borkowski really cares for her patients!Dr. Borkowski is one in a million.

She is the perfect combination of knowledge and empathy. She is easy to talk to, which isn't always easy to find when working with someone who is so established in their field. She is very generous with her time. I have been going to her clinic for more than three years, and although we have not been successful with a live birth (we did get pregnant twice), she has been such a light in uncertain and dark times. She passionately supports her patients. What a special woman.I made the decision to freeze my eggs with North Shore Fertility even though it's outside the city bc the reviews were better than the others my insurance provider listed closer…I made the decision to freeze my eggs with North Shore Fertility even though it's outside the city bc the reviews were better than the others my insurance provider listed closer to where I live. With such a big life choice/decision, I felt this was important. I was not disappointed! The staff was so friendly and down to earth. The Dr. was accessible and I had an incredible outcome. I would and will recommend them to anyone looking for a fertility provider!Dr bikowski and her stuff are amazing I had a successful ivf with her after 4 ivf cycle not successful with other fertility center with this clinic first time I had mi angles so…Dr bikowski and her stuff are amazing I had a successful ivf with her after 4 ivf cycle not successful with other fertility center with this clinic first time I had mi angles so go to this clinic and rich you dream.Dr. Anne and every staffs are so sweet, friendly, and nice.

She validates my concerns and gives me hope and encouragement when I am struggling to find it....Dr Anne is the perfect fit for me , I both trust her medical knowledge and she truly makes you feel like you are her only patient. She is ALWAYS available on the phone , she talked to me twice when she was on vacation and when I was sick after a retrieval she checked in with me 2-3 times a day. She's truly wonderful.This man [Dr. Gabe San Roman] showed me and my husband such compassion. I can’t say enough about how wonderful of a doctor and as a human being that he is.

We adore him...He truly cared about you and the obstacles you have been trying to overcome. On the day of my egg retrieval, I had a moment of self-pity and started to cry during this woe-is-me moment (while I was on the OR table). He just stood there and held my hand. He distracted me until the anesthesia kicked in. I will never forget that kindness.Who you would meet
