Dr. Gelman took us through the journey, making sure all checks were done so that we would have the best success chance from the beginning, he was always honest, upfront, compassionate, and I love he always sees the good on all things...[he] was always patient and willing to explain. Our IVF journey threw us some curveballs, but [he] always found a way to move to the next step while allowing us to work as a team.
Thank you to all the staff at Cooper City office [of IVFMD South Florida Institute for Reproductive Medicine]. This IVF miracle is not possible without all the moving pieces including nurses, lab, finance, all the team... This clinic in general only does single embryo transfers now to minimize any risks...We did a regular egg retrieval process with low-level medications, added Femara to avoid bringing my estrogen dominance up, then did laparoscopy to remove tubes and clean out endometriosis, then did an ERA test to make sure I did the transfer on the best day possible, and then did a natural transfer cycle to avoid heavy medicines like LUPRON.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kenneth Gelman at IVFMD South Florida Institute for Reproductive Medicine?
Today I’m almost 10 weeks pregnant and got pregnant on my first transfer after trying absolutely everything possible and seen at least 6 fertility renown Doctors for 6 + years. It took us this long to find Dr. Gelman but once we found him, we knew from the very beginning that he was not only qualified, but he had his heart on it (and that’s rare in the industry). And I don’t like to make this comparison, but it is certainly how we felt with other Doctors before Dr Gelman, it was like going to a car dealership. They just wanted to sell you an IVF right away no matter what things needed further exploration or testing.
