infertility docs

Anyone have recommendations for infertility doctors and/or clinics?  

If it helps (or matters), we're likely going to need to do ICSI.

Thanks for any help!

Re: infertility docs

  • I dont know what ICSI stands for, does that mean you would you need more than an RE? I loved my RE; Dr. Melvin Thornton I dont know where youre located but my doc is in White Plains right off  287 and affiliated with Columbia University.

  • You can also try the Valley Hospital Fertility Center in Ridgewood, NJ.

    It stands for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). It is an option offered at Valley.

  • Where are you located?  If you start treatment cycles, you will have a lot of appts and probably don't want to travel too far. 

    I also worked with Valley Hospital Fertility Center in Paramus, although we ended up getting a surprise pregnancy in our last cycle before doing IVF.

  • We used RMA of CT.  We used Dr. Murdock but saw all of the Drs there and they are nothing short of FANTASTIC!!  Like Elf said, you are going to be seeing a lot of them, so you are going to want one that is somewhat close to where you are.  However, I have to say that I traveled 35 minutes to see RMA during the week, but on the weekends I travel an hour to see them, that is how much I like and trust them!!

  • ICSI is where they inject a single sperm into the egg...it's mostly for male fertility problems.

    Thanks for the recommendations.  We live in Woodbury.  My doctor recommended Hudson Valley Fertility and Diamond Institute of Infertility.  Just looking for other input.

  • You should check the IVF success rates for the places you are considering, and take into account what % of MFI they deal with, because you want a place experienced with your particular issue(s).  http://www.sart.org/find_frm.html
