Attention to Detail

Attention to detail is on a 1 - 10 scale, and is scored based on the rate, and severity, of errors committed by the clinic according to the patients.

For example, a severe error might be failing to inform a patient of critical information, while a small error might be failing to call a patient with results.

CDC Success Rates

This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.

For more information please see our FAQs.

Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.

Ask as many questions as you need to. Dr. Luk will take the time to answer them. You can also email her...my husband and I had several in depth meetings with Dr. Luk to discuss the next course of treatment and/or weigh options...Due to poor results from the last two cycles Dr. Luk decided to change direction and try a lupron micro-flare going for quality over quantity; 12 eggs retrieved, 3 made it to freeze; 2/3 were PGS normal...transferred two PGS normal embryos again with an immune protocol; now 20 weeks pregnant with one
Dr. Luk and Dr. Nejat [at Neway Medical] both suggested transferring two embryos after I experienced two chemical pregnancies with PGS tested embryos. They did not take this decision lightly and thoroughly reviewed all the risks with me. In the end I am grateful that they were open to this possibility as I became pregnant with a singleton from this transfer...Despite how busy the clinic is, ultimately it's much smaller than most other clinics, so you will see the same doctor(s), nurses, and front desk staff over and over. It's nice to see familiar faces, and I never felt as though I was treated like a number.
How was your experience with Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
Dr. Luk is very high energy and extremely intelligent. As others have said, she will speak quickly, and you need to be prepared to slow down and ask questions as needed. I have the impression that she is so passionate about her work and so knowledgeable that her mind is going a million miles an minute. However, she is brilliant at what she does and specifically in designing a protocol and adjusting protocols according to each patient's needs. I also found her demeanor to be super friendly and positive.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
Ask as many questions as you need to. Dr. Luk will take the time to answer them. You can also email her and/or the nursing staff with questions; if it's a question best answered by Dr. Luk she will respond. Lastly, my husband and I had several in depth meetings with Dr. Luk to discuss the next course of treatment and/or weigh options. Ask for what you need.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
Although Generation Next got busier and busier throughout the time I was treated by Dr. Luk, I always felt warmly greeted by the front desk, nurses, and Drs. Luk and Nejat.
Describe the protocols Janelle Luk used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
Cycle 1: Antagonist Protocol; 17 eggs retrieved, 0 made it to blast. Moderate OHSS following this cycle. Cycle 2: Antagonist Protocol was done with lower doses of stims following the results of my first cycle as Dr. Luk wanted to avoid poor egg quality caused by stims and also avoid OHSS. 12 eggs retrieved, 2 made it to blast. Fresh 5 day transfer of 2 embryos, negative pregnancy test Cycle 3 (freeze all): Due to poor results from the last two cycles Dr. Luk decided to change direction and try a lupron micro-flare going for quality over quantity; 12 eggs retrieved, 3 made it to freeze; 2/3 were PGS normal. I planned to freeze all this cycle to bank embryos and do another retrieval after. Cycle 4 (freeze all): repeat of the same Lupron Micro-Flare protocol; 9 retrieved, 4 made it to freeze, 4 were PGS normal. FET 1: eSET of one PGS tested normal embryo; chemical pregnancy FET 2: eSET of one PGS tested normal embryo with an immune protocol; chemical pregnancy FET 3: transferred two PGS normal embryos again with an immune protocol; now 20 weeks pregnant with one
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Neway Medical.
The nursing staff here is fantastic. They are warm, friendly, and organized. The best part about them is that they are readily available via email to a general email, and nearly always call or email back right away.
Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
The best part of this clinic is that they are very technology savvy. All results are posted to a portal accessible via an iPhone app; you have email addresses for your doctor(s), the nursing staff, and the reception. Communication is easy and fast. This was the primary reason I switched to this clinic, and it made treatment much less stressful as I didn't have to worry about missing a phone call and not being able to speak to a nurse about a question I had. Generation Next got busier and busier during the time I was treated here. That did mean that wait times increased, however I found that if I was able to go in at the tail end of monitoring hours (10:30 am) when most others are not available to go in, I was in and out within 20 minutes. The waiting area wasn't the most comfortable, however the facility itself was newly renovated and sparkling clean. They are now moving to a new floor where it will be more comfortable and they'll have more room. They also have coffee in the waiting room which is a nice touch. Despite how busy the clinic is, ultimately it's much smaller than most other clinics, so you will see the same doctor(s), nurses, and front desk staff over and over. It's nice to see familiar faces, and I never felt as though I was treated like a number.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Neway Medical.
At the end of my time here monitoring hours were from 7am until 10:30am. Around 7:30-8am the wait could get quite long, however the office always felt like a well-oiled machine getting patients in and out as quickly as they could. Going towards the end of monitoring hours meant that there were very few people waiting. I nearly always saw my doctor at the beginning of treatment, Towards the end they did need to add a few ultrasound technicians to help move monitoring along, however you could always speak to your doctor if needed or ask as many questions as needed.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Janelle Luk at Neway Medical.
100% covered by insurance except PGS testing and anesthesiology.
Describe Janelle Luk's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
Dr. Luk and Dr. Nejat both suggested transferring two embryos after I experienced two chemical pregnancies with PGS tested embryos. They did not take this decision lightly and thoroughly reviewed all the risks with me. In the end I am grateful that they were open to this possibility as I became pregnant with a singleton from this transfer.

I had a great experience with Dr. Kort and I would recommend to anyone who seeks fertility treatment. From day one until the end of my treatment, he was very hands on and very detailed with all my screenings. He listens his patients carefully and makes sure his patients are comfortable with the progress...comforting me during this stressful process. He is very responsive to my emails, even it’s on a weekend. Always available when I need to have a visit last minute. So happy that I completed my treatment with him.
The [Neway Medical] clinic is very efficient. My in and out visits were never more than 20-25 minutes. There is no waiting time which I loved the most-especially there were times that I had been there 4-5 times a week...Nurses in Neway were all amazing. My primary contact was Nurse Cecilia and she did an amazing job. She was very hands on, very informative and very proactive with my visits. I never needed to follow up on anything regarding my visits, because I knew that Cecilia was on top of everything. I couldn’t thank more to Cecilia and her amazing nurse team.
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
I had a great experience with Dr. Kort and I would recommend to anyone who seeks fertility treatment. From day one until the end of my treatment, he was very hands on and very detailed with all my screenings. He listens his patients carefully and makes sure his patients are comfortable with the progress. I’m overly cautious with my ovulation time, so he made sure to see me more often, so we wouldn’t miss my ovulation. My experience with Dr. Kort was all about comforting me during this stressful process. He is very responsive to my emails, even it’s on a weekend. Always available when I need to have a visit last minute. So happy that I completed my treatment with him.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
I couldn’t ask for a better doctor. I was mainly looking for a doctor who is hands on, successful, strong with bedside manner, informative and who understands his patients. He was definitely a right fit for me in this process. Highly recommend!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Kort’s bedside manner is amazing. He is very positive, emphatetic and informative. It’s so important to have a doctor who understands their patient and emphatize what they have been through. He explained thoroughly what the issue was and was able to provide solutions.
Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
I had IUI treatment with Dr. Kort (twice). He prescribed me low dose letrozole and started screenings every month to follow my ovulation. He also prescribed me Ovidrel to inject before IUI day. Two of my IUI’s were unfortunately unsuccessful, but in the process of my third IUI, I got pregnant before we did IUI insemination. I have a very short ovulation window and Dr. Kort quickly understood this. That’s why he guided us on dates to be sexually active if my ovulation is expected in a Sunday (where the clinic is closed) so that I wouldn’t miss a cycle and that’s when I got pregnant thanks to his guidance.

Dr. Kort practices the exact opposite of a "one size fits all" approach to medicine. He took my fears seriously - primarily about the hormone injections - and worked with me to create a schedule that I was comfortable with, but that also got great results. He's one of the kindest and most knowledgeable doctors I've ever had...Dr. Kort performed 95 percent of my ultrasounds (the other 5 percent were by his awesome partner when Dr. Kort was on his days off). He's punctual, empathetic, and compassionate. I was a nervous wreck - no, seriously - and he always made things calm and chill.
No weaknesses I can think of [at Neway Medical]! To reiterate, everyone was kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Personalized experience. Great doctor and staff. I'd only recommend you take the subway or an Uber because parking is kinda bananas...One of the unique things about Neway is that you see your doctor every visit.

Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
At my first consultation, I expressed that I wanted to do IVM instead of IVF because I was afraid of the injections. Dr. Kort made it clear this wasn't the optimal option but agreed it would be okay as a first try. I ended up taking 150 units of Gonal-F for two days, then a 10,000 HCG trigger. I got one mature egg (not shocking as this was basically a natural cycle), but it resulted in a normal 5ab embryo! In this recent round, I was going to take 250 units of Gonal-F for four days but ended up only taking it for two because of side effects. However, this resulted in 5 embryos that were sent out for testing this morning.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Neway Medical. (Assigned nurse: Cecilia)
Cecilia is awesome!! She literally came to my house to give me the injections because I was too chicken to have my husband do them (and she didn't make me feel bad that I felt this way). She was also punctual with ordering meds and made sure everything ran smoothly. Lover her!
Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
No weaknesses I can think of! To reiterate, everyone was kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Personalized experience. Great doctor and staff. I'd only recommend you take the subway or an Uber because parking is kinda bananas if you don't arrive like right after alt side parking.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Daniel Kort at Neway Medical.
Neway was covered by my insurance! I believe the only thing I paid out of pocket was the embryo biopsy and freezing.

Dr. Kort is easily the most kind and warm doctor I have even encountered (I am in healthcare and work with doctors on a daily basis). His bedside manor is something I have never seen and he is hands on - email, text, phone calls...does everything himself; he knows your name and your details without consulting your chart. He is personally vested in your (and your partner) outcome and results. He has the right combination of optimism and realistic expectations...
nursing and staff [at Neway Medical] is next level! From Seon Joon (tending to my needs very warmly and patiently in the OR), Angelica (upbeat friendly smile with blood draws and she is a PRP "liquid gold" master), Shameeka (high energy, can always make you laugh during emotional times!) and the entire team...For monitoring I would be in and out in under 15 minutes (and yes that includes seeing Dr Kort). Note if you wanted more time they would accommodate but with my job I needed this level of efficiency...

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Look no further and visit with Dr. Kort. I had been to a clinic prior and during the summer attended another clinic due to travel logistics and Dr Kort is hands down the best fertility doctor I have met. He knows all the cutting edge options and is open minded to achieve your results. You are not a number and he cares. This is an emotional journey and you want Dr. Kort in your corner. I now travel over an hour for each appointment because no one compares to Dr. Kort. It is worth it!

Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
I am older patient (43 yo) and my levels (FSH) are high (>15) indicating diminished ovarian reserve. I have naturally conceived twin boys at 34yo and have always been regular with my cycle and ovulation. Other doctors I visited were negative, made rude comments about my age and instantly said donor eggs. I wanted to at least try with my eggs. Given how elevated my levels were Dr Kort suggested we try natural (aka no medication). The first round he retrieved one egg, fertilized and made it to day 4. The second round we tried PRP. Dr Kort retrieved 1 egg, fertilized, frozen embryo and generic test are it is good!! The most recent round he retrieved 2 eggs, 1 was able to make it to blast and I am awaiting genetic results. Dr Kort understands my body and appreciates that no two patients are alike. He has a unique blend of being a wicked smart doctor (which is what you want) but also being a human!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Neway Medical.
If I think Dr Kort is amazing his nursing and staff is next level! From Seon Joon (tending to my needs very warmly and patiently in the OR), Angelica (upbeat friendly smile with blood draws and she is a PRP "liquid gold" master), Shameeka (high energy, can always make you laugh during emotional times!) and the entire team! I simply love the entire team!
Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
Strengths: fast, efficient & accommodating. For monitoring I would be in and out in under 15 minutes (and yes that includes seeing Dr Kort). Note if you wanted more time they would accommodate but with my job I needed this level of efficiency Weakness: none.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Daniel Kort at Neway Medical.
My insurance doesn't cover IVF so it is expensive but compared to other NYC clinics Neway is reasonably priced. I do know Neway will take insurance if you are luck enough to have insurance that covers it!
Describe Daniel Kort's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
Please note I have had other friends with Dr Kort and he takes different approaches per the patient needs! He is AMAZING

Dr Kort is deeply knowledgeable and very empathetic...His approach is very hands-on in that one sees him at every ultrasound appointment and he performs the retrieval, transfer process etc himself. He is also extremely accessible and never rushes through an appointment, taking the time to answer all questions and ensuring one is super comfortable with the process and what's going on.

If any of you r procedures involve anesthesia, be aware that the provider may not be covered by your insurance so ensure to check this...They [nurses] were patient with all the follow up questions I had and always ensured to get back to me on any inquiries I sent in via the portal. It was great to have them as an additional resource and I felt supported and cared for the whole time I was at Neway.

Dr Kort was patient, kind, knowledgeable and very thorough. He portrayed a deep sense of personal investment in the success of my treatment.

What specific things went wrong at Neway Medical?
  • Failed to send your chart to another clinic
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Neway Medical.
The front desk at the clinic was supposed to send my paperwork over to the OB/GYN following my getting pregnant. This did not happen despite a few follow ups. They also failed to inform me that the anesthesiologist had changed their insurance coverage, and that the anesthesia process was no longer covered by my particular provider (BCBS Empire).

Dr Kort always had a nice and professional manner. It was always nice to see him and I felt he was quick and thorough with enough time to answer any questions I had for him. I also saw him at each of my visits, unless it was just blood work, and this helped me feel comfortable and like more than a number to him...I felt closely monitored before retrievals and the embryo transfer...I wanted a single embryo transfer which Dr. Kort encouraged. If I wanted 2 embryos he would have asked me to see a specialist in high risk births...
They [nurses at Neway Medical] were all very nice and responded to my emails in a timely manner. They were organized and always got my blood pretty quick (I have tough veins sometimes)...they open at 7:30 and sometimes run late as an office. This seems to have improved from when I started. With the business office and insurance I would encourage proactively contacting them so you aren't surprised. Also, ordering medication from freedom fertility always takes longer than you think so give that time...
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Kort is a nice person and that comes through with every interaction. I also think he's really good at his job and always felt like I was getting the best care possible. I could also email the nurses if I had a question between appointments. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
None. Enjoy the process and good luck! For his office, reach out to the business department to make sure you're clear on what your insurance covers and what it doesn't. This is where most of my curveballs came from but they were minor compared to my overall experience.

Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
I felt closely monitored before retrievals and the embryo transfer. If you work really early in the morning this might not be your clinic. They open at 7:30 and before retrievals I went in a couple times a week for blood and ultrasounds. Make sure the timing works for you. My process was pretty smooth so other than these check ins I don't remember specific strategies. I do remember feeling comfortable through it all. Plus, It worked and I'm currently pregnant after my first transfer!

My co-pays were either $30 or $50, which can add up on the weeks you go in multiple times. The medications were mostly covered except for the progesterone shots at the end which were about $500 total. I forget how much the medications were before my embryo retrievals but there was some cost there.
Describe Daniel Kort's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
I wanted a single embryo transfer which Dr. Kort encouraged. If I wanted 2 embryos he would have asked me to see a specialist in high risk births. More than 2 embryos and you'll need to find another facility. I don't believe they do that here.

Dr. Kort is a wonderful doctor with a great bedside manner. As someone who works with doctors in healthcare, I can confidently say that not only is he knowledgeable and proactive, but he is also easy to talk to and very kind. He made sure we had all of our questions answered and even comforted me the during difficult moments (which did not happen with my previous doctor and most doctors in general). He was also able to answer some questions and fix some things my previous doctor didn’t detect. I could not recommend him enough!
I loved that Neway is a smaller clinic, it was always clean and organized, I never waited long and felt very comfortable there. They included my partner in everything and knew him by name too...Neway was a completely different experience in all of the right ways...I loved the nursing staff! There are two nurses and they were both so wonderful. I was able to communicate with them through an online portal or over the phone and was promptly answered.

If you are looking for a more personal experience and a bit of hand holding on your fertility journey, this could be the right fit for you.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Kort and his entire team were very down to earth, warm and friendly throughout the process. Dr. Kort took the time to get to know my partner and I during a difficult time in our lives and was emotionally present for those conversations. Everyone at the clinic knew my name and I felt very comfortable under their care.
Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
We did 2 rounds of embryo transfers after a full work up with Dr. Kort. There was some tissue remaining from a previous miscarriage and/or an occult septum and he removed that prior to the transfers.

I loved the nursing staff! There are two nurses and they were both so wonderful. I was able to communicate with them through an online portal or over the phone and was promptly answered.

I also enjoyed the location as it was easy to get to as well. I can’t recommend it enough! I was at a very large practice before in another state and found myself feeling disconnected from my doctor and the entire clinic. Neway was a completely different experience in all of the right ways.

[Dr. Kort] was very warm, caring and helpful. He explained things clearly, not talking down to me and not jargon filled either. I was always extremely well informed and an active participant in my decisions and treatment. Amazing bedside manner...He kept me very involved in the process and made sure decisions were mine, not those made by the clinic.
The [Neway Medical] portal as helpful. I always knew my treatment and what to expect. Egg retrieval and transfers went smoothly— I was treated with care throughout the process. Weakness: It took a couple of years to get my bill—that definitely needs to be ironed out...The staff was always warm and welcoming throughout my treatment...It was stressful for me to arrange [monitoring appointments] to be there so early, and they really helped me with that. I was always seen so quickly and on my way to work.
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
I had such a wonderful experience with this doctor with my egg freezing at another practice. When I wanted to do IVF (with an new egg retrieval) as a single mother by choice, I found the clinic where he had moved and came for a consultation. I was so happy to continue working with Dr. Kort and very happy with my care and my results! Communication was excellent. I was always comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. I had a healthy baby boy and have two more embryos (as well as my 14 frozen eggs from my post experience with him for egg freezing. I have referred several good friends to him, and one just completed her egg freezing with him.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Definitely ask any questions or share any concerns. Dr. Kort really cared and really listened. He kept me very involved in the process and made sure decisions were mine, not those made by the clinic.

Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
I was in the birth control so came off a few days before I wanted to start the medicines. I did Menopur, Gonal F, and later Cetrotide. My trigger was Lupron which I was so grateful for as I had horrible swelling after Ovidrel with the two cycles of egg freezing. for the transfer. I had 4 embryos created with donor sperm. 3 made it to day 5 and I froze them until I was ready (about 7 months later). I did estrogen for two weeks and then both pio shots every few days and progesterone suppositories. After a few weeks and the positive pregnancy test I had requested to do twice daily shots only as my progesterone and was very happy with that. I had an excellent and healthy pregnancy and am so grateful.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Neway Medical. (Assigned nurse: Jenifer (but she is no longer there))
The staff was always warm and welcoming throughout my treatment. They seemed genuinely happy with my pregnancy and when I sent picture and visited with my son.

The portal as helpful. I always knew my treatment and what to expect. Egg retrieval and transfers went smoothly— I was treated with care throughout the process. Weakness: It took a couple of years to get my bill—that definitely needs to be ironed out.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Neway Medical.
They really worked with mg schedule. I am a teacher with an 8 am start time about an hour away. We made it work, and often were able to do things on Saturday (or Friday— my later start day). It was stressful for me to arrange to be there so early, and they really helped me with that. I was always seen so quickly and on my way to work.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Daniel Kort at Neway Medical.
I was 80% insured with my job. I got a bill for the retrieval two years later ($1,200). I have not been billed for my transfer yet.
Describe Daniel Kort's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
I was given statistics of recommended embryos for my age (I think it was 1-2) and I asked for just 1.

The thing I like most about Dr. Daniel Kort is that he is supremely confident in what he is doing and is able to transfer that confidence on to you...He was extremely skillful at both the egg retrieval and embryo insertion process. My ovarian position created a minor complication but he handled it pretty well. He was also very responsive and calming when I had a subchorionic hematoma and didn't want me to unnecessarily rush to ER. He was confident it would self-resolve, and it did...
Biggest strength [of Neway Medical] is it is not super crowded and is able to offer personalized attention and care. Location in NYC is extremely convenient, I did not find it difficult to travel from Jersey City, they were flexible with timings as much as possible. The weakness is in their billing team primarily because there is a lot of personnel churn and seem understaffed and not responsive enough.
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
The thing I like most about Dr. Daniel Kort is that he is supremely confident in what he is doing and is able to transfer that confidence on to you, while not trying to downplay any chance of less than desired outcome. Every visit was smooth, he spent a lot of time answering questions and was extremely gentle at the bedside. He was extremely skillful at both the egg retrieval and embryo insertion process. My ovarian position created a minor complication but he handled it pretty well. He was also very responsive and calming when I had a subchorionic hematoma and didn't want me to unnecessarily rush to ER. He was confident it would self-resolve, and it did! The transfer process to my regular OB-Gyn was smooth and I am thrilled now that I'm able to care for my newborn daughter!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
It makes sense to get all the regular treatment and tests done (both partners) with regular OB-Gyn before consulting a fertility physician (applies to anyone, not just Dr. Kort). Fertility treatment is an expensive and a draining process (very frequent visits and lots of processes), hence it's better to have a targeted objective. I understand not all insurance plans offer flexibility.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Daniel Kort was very objective and focused on the outcome we were together trying to achieve. He does not set any wrong or misleading expectations. While he relies on evidence as everyone should, he does not waste time trying to make a determination where not required. In my case, there was no apparent cause for infertility. He did not waste time trying to diagnose, rather supported going directly to the IVF process as my insurance also supported it.
Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
Don't remember specifics. Mine was a direct IVF with a retrieval cycle (egg and partner sperm) post stimulation, freezing for genetic abnormality testing and then FET next cycle once the 'normal' embryos was ascertained. 6 eggs were retrieved, all fertilized successfully, 5 were good quality blastocysts, 3 of which had no chromosomal abnormalities.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Neway Medical. (Assigned nurse: Jennifer)
All the nurses in the Neway team are good. They thoroughly understand the protocols and are able to guide pretty well. They even offered free supervised administration of injections until my partner and I became confident enough to be able to do it ourselves.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Daniel Kort at Neway Medical.
IVF (1 cycle) including single FET - $12-14K approx.
Describe Daniel Kort's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
Dr. Kort was strongly against multiple embryo transfer in my case. I understand he would not recommend it unless absolutely warranted in an individual's case where benefits can outweigh the risks.

found Dr. Kort’s approach and communication from the start the most fitting for me. It was respectful of my ability to understand some more complex information and never dismissive of any of my questions (and I had a lot of those!). Besides feeling that he truly cares about his patients, and legitimately knows what he is doing
I felt comfortable with homey Neway’s environment and loving atmosphere that clinic’s personnel makes you feel. All the nurses were lovely...All retrieval’s and diagnostic tests except PGT testing is done in the house. Neway has an amazing reproductive biologist Dr. Lee who actually deals with your eggs and is responsible for creating embryos. It seems like he is famous for his work.
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Kort’s strength are: Compassionate and dedicated doctor that truly cares about your goals; Honest with what to expect; He is patient with explanations and I never felt rushed at my consultations; Gentle bedside manner; Respect patient’s ability to understand complex information. Goes into details unlike many other doctors. One of his strength is that you can see that he is truly on your team. In the middle of my third cycle, the ultrasound wasn’t showing as many eggs as I would like (less than in my last two cycles). He informed me about it and gave me a choice to stop this cycle and wait till the next, which meant more work for him but it would transfer the fee I paid for my last cycle toward the next in hopes of harvesting more eggs. I ended up going forward with finishing that cycle that I was half-way through with and received an unexpectedly great results creating 3 PGT-tested embryos. I was technically taking a risk of having an unproductive cycle but I just felt very positive that even with low egg count, it will all work out. What he did that was super helpful is that he presented all the information to me but listened to my intuition. Dr. Kort’s calm confident energy really helped me to get through some dark thoughts. I changed partner (life happens!) after the first IVF cycle and was nervous if I would still be taken seriously and treated the same way in the clinic but I was treated with complete professionalism and respect through this tough period of my life by Dr. Kort whose concerns were my well-being and my goal of having a family at the end of all that.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Ask a lot of questions
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
After visiting 5 different clinics and being assessed by 5 different doctors in the city, I found Dr. Kort’s approach and communication from the start the most fitting for me. It was respectful of my ability to understand some more complex information and never dismissive of any of my questions (and I had a lot of those!). Besides feeling that he truly cares about his patients, and legitimately knows what he is doing, I felt comfortable with homey Neway’s environment and loving atmosphere that clinic’s personnel makes you feel. All the nurses were lovely! Other clinics felt like “baby-factories” with dozens of patients sitting in the wait rooms or white futuristic spaceships with cold and distant staff. While being realistic about my prognoses, Dr. Kort gave me pretty clear understanding of my options and was honest regarding possible results. After finishing 3-cycle-IVF with him, I can now say that the results were very close to what he prepared me for (I understand that’s a very hard thing to predict). I felt like throughout my 7 months treatment with Dr. Kort, his calm but confident energy really helped me to get through some dark thoughts. I changed a partner (life happens!) after the first IVF cycle and was nervous if I would still be treated the same in the clinic but I was treated with complete professionalism and respect through this tough period of my life by Dr. Kort and the staff. They always tried to help me out with free medications knowing that I don’t have a health insurance that covers those and this is a huge financial undertaking for me.
Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
Dr. Kort used antagonist short protocol on me to get as many follicles as possible. I had three successful cycles, the first: nine eggs retrieved - two embryos frozen; the second: seven eggs retrieved - 1 embryo frozen; the third one - eight eggs retrieved - 3 embryos frozen. I know that he adjusted my medication carefully after monitoring me every two days most of the time.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Neway Medical.
Everyone was warm and friendly. People seemed organized and things run according to protocol. Always got my medications instructions on time during the cycle.
Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
I think that the atmosphere of the clinic is very nurturing and people are very friendly and compassionate. I didn’t feel that as much in other clinics which seem to focus more on glamorous interiors and impeccable facade. This clinic feels more like home and the waiting room feels like a living room. I like that all of the procedures are done in clinic. All retrieval’s and diagnostic tests except PGT testing is done in the house. Neway has an amazing reproductive biologist Dr. Lee who actually deals with your eggs and is responsible for creating embryos. It seems like he is famous for his work.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Daniel Kort at Neway Medical.
Even though fertility treatment is so expensive and hit my finances super hard, I feel like I was given a good package deal by Neway for a three-cycle-package. Whenever the clinic had any extra medication, I was given some of those super expensive drugs for free.
Describe Daniel Kort's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
Didn’t have the transfer yet.

Dr. Kort is personable, and made accommodations and time for me when ever I needed. He also followed up quickly on email or calls and scheduled video calls to talk through options and plans (as we began during pandemic)...He was thoughtful, and very informative from the beginning. He didn't rush us to begin treatment until we had time to think through our options. He was careful to manage expectations and provide all risk information
Convenient location, one stop shop - for blood work, exams, procedures, consultations etc. [Neway Medical] Appointments were scheduled well with blood work first and then exams. Wait times for exams some times ran long (more than 15-20 min) but I attribute that partly to covid protocols...Most of my interactions with the nurses were a high point in my very frequent visits.
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Kort was very personable in the way he treated my husband and I. He was thoughtful, and very informative from the beginning. He didn't rush us to begin treatment until we had time to think through our options. He was careful to manage expectations and provide all risk information - I was curious about the potential for multiple embryo transfer, which in the end was not an option for us (as I only had 1 successful embryo). Dr. Kort never rushed appointments. There were times when appointments got emotional for me, and Dr. Kort was always encouraging and kind and eased my fears.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Be open about your concerns and honest about what you want to achieve. He was very informative and realistically managed my expectations.

Dr. Kort is warm, empathetic, and down to Earth. He is also very clearly intelligent and passionate about his work. He was available to answer questions and always got back to me in the same day. He took the time to get to know me as a person and establish rapport. I never felt judged even when I had mixed feelings about the success of our IVF..
They [Neway Medical nurses] gave us extra demonstrations on administering the progesterone shots...They use a patient portal and everything can be done in there! They are a boutique clinic so each person there knows you by face and name! It’s Manhattan- there isn’t parking really nearby- we typically walked to our appointments but on the few times I drove, I knew to make sure to leave time to look for parking. There is some between Amsterdam and Broadway on 79th
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Kort is warm, empathetic, and down to Earth. He is also very clearly intelligent and passionate about his work. He was available to answer questions and always got back to me in the same day. He took the time to get to know me as a person and establish rapport. I never felt judged even when I had mixed feelings about the success of our IVF! He personally sees his patients and managed their care. Dr. Kort is not intimidating and speaks to you like a peer. He was 100% accurate with all of his estimations and we owe him our success story! He also provided us with wonderful referrals to other providers. These other providers also had patient centered practices. Dr. Kort gave us realistic timelines and is willing to “fight” insurances for his patients. All of our requested treatments were covered due to his expertise! We were so lucky to find him and will come back to grow our family again in the future! I cried after my last appointment, as I’ve never felt so cared about in a doctors/clinics care.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Trust his analysis and treatment planning! You are in charge, and you made the right step in picking him as a doctor.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Kort and the NeWay team knew details about my life and asked me about my life. They knew my nickname and called me it, they knew my job situation, they asked my husband about his job, and they made appropriate jokes with us. They took the time to make sure we were comfortable with every step and did not use medical language with us. Dr. Kort and his team celebrated all of the happy milestones with us on and individual basis.
Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
Dr. Kort reviewed our history and told us we could go forward with another IUI (or more) cycle, but knew we had tried for several years so he was also on board with going right to IVF. We formed our IVF plan- use my natural cycle before egg retrieval then- menopur, ganirelix, Lupron. Then egg retrieval and ICSI to form embryos. They grew until 5/6 days then were biopsied for PGS then frozen. Once I had a period, a few days later I went on Estradoil and awaited lining to rethicken and genetic results to come back. At that time we scheduled the transfer for the next week! We had the embryologist pick the embryo that was the strongest and that was the one transferred. It worked! Dr. Kort saw me until 9 weeks pregnant. First HCG blood monitoring and then weekly ultrasounds.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Neway Medical. (Assigned nurse: Shameeka)
The nursing and medical team make NeWay a place you WANT to visit! They are warm, remember details about you, and make sure you get excellent care! They gave us extra demonstrations on administering the progesterone shots. They remembered I loved apple juice! They always had tape available versus bandaids, and knew which I preferred. They make appropriate jokes, call you by your preferred name, ask about your life and follow up later about it, and make small talk. They share in your excitement. When our transfer was successful, each member of our team called to say congrats individually! I genuinely am going to miss seeing them weekly/a few times a week. They made this experience something to look forward to and helped me feel confident that this is a manageable experience!
Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
This clinic is organized! They use a patient portal and everything can be done in there! They are a boutique clinic so each person there knows you by face and name! It’s Manhattan- there isn’t parking really nearby- we typically walked to our appointments but on the few times I drove, I knew to make sure to leave time to look for parking. There is some between Amsterdam and Broadway on 79th. This clinic is timely- although I definitely preferred the first appointment of the day as those appointments were often quicker! The clinic is CLEAN. Especially during COVID. They have strict standards and maintain the spaces well. Everyone in the clinic is caring and personable- truly not a single team member who isn’t! From the embryologist, to medical doctors, nurses, techs, and receptionists- everyone is personable and excited for your journey.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Daniel Kort at Neway Medical.
They accepted our insurance as in network. Our costs were low and nothing was cost prohibitive.
Describe Daniel Kort's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
I was relieved he recommended eSET. I was nervous of multiples.

Dr. Kort explained the risks of transferring multiple embryos and since we also had genetic testing done, we felt very confident that transferring a single embryo would give us the best chance of a successful and healthy pregnancy...Not only is he extremely intelligent and professional, he is the most attentive, kind, and compassionate doctor I know. We felt completely safe in his care and trust him 110%. Because of Dr. Kort and his amazing team, we are currently pregnant with our first child and are already looking forward to working with them again as we continue to expand our family.
I love that Neway is a boutique practice with state-of-the-art technology. The care we received was so personalized and everyone, from the front-desk to the nurses and doctors, provided exemplary care and attention. And Dr. Kort was there every step of the way (performing every exam, every sonogram, every procedure) which really made us feel like we were in the best hands. I can not recommend Neway Fertility enough.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Look no further than Dr. Kort. I couldn't imagine a better doctor.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
- Received personalized care - Established a rapport with doctors/nurses and staff - Doctors/nurses showed genuine interest in my care and progress - Ease of communication
Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
Due to my specific case of fibroids as well as having blocked tubes, it was clear that IVF was a necessity. We decided to proceed with two separate egg retrievals, followed by PGS testing of embryos which were frozen and stored. After having necessary surgery, we finally scheduled our first frozen embryo transfer which resulted in a chemical pregnancy. We scheduled our second FET the following month and we are happy to report that we are expecting our first child next year.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Neway Medical. (Assigned nurse: Jen)
Jen, as well as the entire nursing and medical staff (Seon, Shameeka, Tania, Ketevan, Anjelica) were phenomenal. I looked forward to every visit to the office because they really made it feel like I was being welcomed and taken care of by family. We couldn’t have asked for a better team.

Dr. Kort has one of the best bedside manners of any doctor I have ever worked with. Pursuing fertility treatment is an overwhelming process, and I consistently felt like he was a patient guide through the whole thing. He is incredibly responsive and remarkably patient in making sure you get the answers that you need...I would encourage any prospective patient to bite the bullet and make an appointment. I found signing up for a fertility consultation to be such a huge mental hurdle. It's definitely worth it -- and Dr. Kort will be a huge part of making that process less scary.
I primarily worked with [nurse] Jenifer during my time at Neway. Like Dr. Kort she was extremely responsive and increidbly compassionate. She responded to every email the same day -- and always had a solution to any problems that arose. That said, EVERYONE at Neway is on top of their game. I can't think of a single nurse or staffer that wasn't extremely kind -- while also being utterly professional.
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Although we ultimately did not need to pursue either IUI or IVF, Dr. Kort ran a full battery of tests to help diagnose our fertility issue. I had a trouble with my first HSG, so much so that we were unable to successfully complete it the first time around. Dr. Kort found a work around so that the test could be given effectively a second time. As luck would have it, that may have worked. We're now expecting our first child.

The clinic is super clean and well run -- something that is extremely important, but especially so during COVID-19. The online portal is also really easy to use and a great way to keep track of all our records.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Daniel Kort at Neway Medical.
Most of the bills were completely covered by insurance. The billing staff was more than happy to answer any questions.

I have never had such personalized care in our medical experience. Dr. Kort was scientifically thorough, exceptionally compassionate, patient, and fully committed to seeing us through every available option...was not only knowledgable and compassionate, but he showed exemplary humility in difficult situations and was not afraid to look deeper into an issue or seek an alternative opinion. He's a collaborative thinker, which is wonderful in this pursuit. He was a tireless advocate for our success.
The clinic [Newway Medical] is a friendly place to be during a challenging situation, in large part because of it's staff. It is nice to have doctors, nurses, and embryologists in once location, with a lab and storage facilities on site. The billing department could use some improvement. It is hard to get clarity around payments owed, which is stressful...Shameeka Toro, Jenifer Chin, and the entire nursing staff we worked with (Tanya, Anjelica, and Shareeka) were very caring and extremely competent. Shameeka & Jenifer were especially informed, up-to-speed, vibrant, positive, and and dedicated to our pursuit. They helped me and my partner understand the medications and process. And Shameeka is a wiz at dealing with insurance issues.

3 medicated IUI's with Clomid & Ovidrel trigger. 2 egg retrievals after Folistim, Menopur, & Cetrotide, HCG trigger regimen. Prep for transfer with Eustrace & Progesterone in oil. 1 transfer attempted, but embryo not inserted due to complexities with cervix shape. 2 practice transfers following failed attempt, as a way to better understand shape of cervix and prepare for successful transfer.

How competent was Neway Medical at LGBTQ+ care?
I would credit Neway's openness around LGBT care to Dr. Kort, with whom we worked with most often. The other doctors we encountered were polite and kind, but we're not sure what they're like to work with in this regard.
Describe your experience using 3rd party reproduction (donor eggs, donor sperm, or gestational carrier) at Neway Medical.
Dr. Kort worked with our donor and with a prior facility storing our donor's sperm.

Success w/ Doc Not sure
Every appt you have with him [Dr. Kort,] he makes sure you feel confident with what the next step will be. When he had to call me to give me bad news he took the time to help me understand...[he] is against transferring more then one embryo...He tried to be there for every ultrasound and he was the one that did both retrievals. This process is really hard and having a doctor that’s really kind and actually knows you as more then a name on his appt book makes a difference
They [Neway Medical nurses] are compassionate and knowledgeable. They get to know their patients and are there if you have any questions...They are reasonably priced. They have a 3 cycle package for around $18,000 which is cheaper then any other clinic in my area...My biggest issue was with the finance department. They make things up when they aren’t sure and never get back to you.
How was your experience with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
I had a very good experience with Dr. Kort. Every appt you have with him he makes sure you feel confident with what the next step will be. When he had to call me to give me bad news he took the time to help me understand. I had doctors in the past that left me a Voicemail and then too busy to return my call. Dr. Kort did his best to stay with me throughout both cycles. He tried to be there for every ultrasound and he was the one that did both retrievals. This process is really hard and having a doctor that’s really kind and actually knows you as more then a name on his appt book makes a difference. We weren’t successful yet but I feel like he did the best he could.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Daniel Kort at Neway Medical?
Dr. Kort took the time to meet with us and come up with a plan. He was there for every step. When I went in for monitoring he was the one doing the Ultrasound. I didn’t have to wait to hear from the doctor later on. In my previous clinic I met the doctor once for 15 min and never saw him again.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Neway Medical. (Assigned nurse: Jenifer C.)
The nursing staff were amazing. They are compassionate and knowledgeable. They get to know their patients and are there if you have any questions.
Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
The one big problem this clinic has is the finance department. They really don’t have a clue what they are doing and they never get back to you. Even though I’m very pleased with the doctor and nurses I might not come because of the finance department. The stress of dealing with them made things worse for me.

Dr. Kort is a warm, patient and kind doctor, who did not rush us in any of the consultations, provided easy to understand explanations of a complicated process and was available whenever needed...helped us understand the alternatives available, costs involved, and patiently provided the information we needed to decide on the best plan of treatment. He made me feel comfortable during the entire treatment, endless ultrasounds, from truly care since our success was his own success.
Jenifer [nurse at Neway Medical] was the absolutely best throughout the treatment. She sent emails with treatment plan, reminders, called when she said she would. The nursing staff was very caring and attentive...Everything is done at the clinic, tests, bloodwork, retrieval, transfer, which is extremely convenient. Their hours are flexible and the location very accessible. The billing department had some restructuring in 2019 and it became great to work with...Monitoring hours started at early morning and were convenient to get to prior to work....

Dr. Kort was excellent from start to finish. We were treating with him after sustaining two early miscarriages. He is clearly knowledgable and his course of treatment and recommendations worked. He was empathetic, reassuring, and caring every step of the way...[he] noticed a slight Uterine Septum and went on to perform a Hysteroscopic Septoplasty to correct the septum.

Describe the protocols Daniel Kort used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
After two early miscarriages, we had several blood tests, a semen analysis, a Saline Infused Sonogram (SIS), and a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Our blood work, semen analysis, and SIS came back normal. On the HSG, Dr. Kort noticed a slight Uterine Septum and went on to perform a Hysteroscopic Septoplasty to correct the septum. The procedure took 30 minutes and full recovery took about a week. Following surgery, I had another SIS which showed that the septum was corrected. We conceived the following month and are now expecting our rainbow baby in December!

Dr. Zimmermann was very sensiyand responsive to my specific needs. He was attentive and would call me back very quickly and consider treatments that felt tailored to my issues rather than standard protocol. He also provided me with literature that was helpful in making certain decisions.... I felt he had both the expertise and excellent bedside manner. He was sensitive, respectful, and supportive while also being very knowledgeable and experienced. I appreciated that he was there for all of my appointments and procedures and found him to be very patient and thorough.
Excellent clinic [Neway Medical] — quick wait times, excellent staff, pleasant facilities and appearance. The billing dept had some issues but overall all issues were addressed and resolved. They take multiple insurance plans. I saw the same doctor each time and I felt that the staff knew me well. There was a very personal feel — it didn’t feel like a baby factory as I found with other clinics. All the tests were done in house, which was also very helpful and comforting.

Describe the protocols Ralf Zimmermann (retired) used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
8 medicated iui cycles with a small dose of clomid (25 mg) — I had already had 3 unmedicated IUI cycles at a different clinic. Each time I used Ovidrel shot to trigger ovulation. After the failed iui, we decided to move on to ivf and I did 7 days of gonal f. I don’t remember the dose but I know it was pretty low and he lowered it several times because of concern about overstimulation. I also did injections to put off ovulation. I had one egg retrieval that resulted in 32 eggs, 25 fertilized with ivf and icsi, and 18 embryos made it to day 5. The 18 embryos were frozen because I needed to recover — I had mild OHSS. I skipped a cycle and then transferred one embryo resulting in a pregnancy and live birth of a baby boy. I took vagibal and injectable progesterone and estrogen for the first 13 weeks of pregnancy.

Dr. Nejat always treated me with respect and kindness...He has excellent bedside manner and is always calm and gentle...for the most part kept in touch via email and always explained any questions I had about medication or procedures...I felt he was experienced and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, I did not receive the results that I wanted. After years of working with him I am questioning if more could have been done to ensure that I did not go through 2 miscarriages, though I’m not positive that more could have been done.
There were times when nurses needed to be called to contact other clinics when I did outside monitoring. Neway would blame the other clinic even though that clinic could state the time that results were faxed or emailed over. There were also times when I had to call to have refills called in to a local pharmacy more than once...Waiting to get blood drawn was never a long wait. Waiting for ultrasounds could take over an hour if you didn’t go early enough.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Edward Nejat at Neway Medical?
Dr. Nejat always treated me with respect and kindness. He always asked about my students or how my school year was going. He has excellent bedside manner and is always calm and gentle.
Describe the protocols Edward Nejat used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
When I went to Dr. Nejat I wanted to try to complete an Ivf cycle as naturally as possible. He adhered to my wishes and we did several low dose Ivf cycles with Femara and injectables. We were able to successfully retrieve 3 eggs during a cycle that was used only injectables. The fresh transfer failed, one embryo arrested and the last embryo was transferred during a FET. This resulted in pregnancy, but I miscarried at 7/8 weeks. We continued on with another injectables low dose cycle which resulted in an unsuccessful retrieval. We decided to move on to a fully medicated cycle. This was the least successful, all 7 eggs arrested by day 3. We moved onto a donor cycle with a known donor. We were able to get 5 mediocre quality embryos from that cycle. The fresh transfer failed. We found out I had an endometrial infection from a biopsy that was then treated with 3 weeks of antibiotics. The following FET transfer worked, but resulted in a miscarriage at 9 weeks. We have two low quality embryos remaining that we will transfer by the end of the year.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Neway Medical.
I followed Dr. Nejat from one clinic to another. When I first began working with him the nurses were phenomenal. They were kind and compassionate, completely on the ball and easy to communicate with. By the time I left Neway the nursing staff had gone through several overhauls and some of them were very inexperienced.
Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
The staff is courteous. When I last visited Neway the nursing staff was new and the donor department was inexperienced. There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to coordinating a donor cycle. The nurse in charge did not seem to have a deep knowledge of how to make the cycle as smooth as possible.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Neway Medical.
Waiting to get blood drawn was never a long wait. Waiting for ultrasounds could take over an hour if you didn’t go early enough.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Edward Nejat at Neway Medical.
I live in a mandated state so most treatment and medication was covered up until now. I had to pay $5,000 for donor screening, $1,000 a year for storage fees, and $15 copay for monitoring visits.
Describe Edward Nejat's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
Dr. Nejat left this decision up to us, which I was completely comfortable with.
What specific things went wrong at Neway Medical?
  • Failed to call in prescriptions to pharmacy
  • Failed to call with results
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Neway Medical.
There were times when nurses needed to be called to contact other clinics when I did outside monitoring. Neway would blame the other clinic even though that clinic could state the time that results were faxed or emailed over. There were also times when I had to call to have refills called in to a local pharmacy more than once.

We did six timed intercourse cycles, all with negative results. There was no issue with my husband's sperm, but we [with Dr. decided to try one or two rounds of IUI before proceeding to IVF. After the first IUI procedure (done again with Ovidrel and Clomid), I became pregnant...Dr. Zimmermann was familiar with my medical history and the reasons that brought me there. He always took time to answer our questions, and personally called to delivery the results during each cycle. He was sensitive to the emotional nature of this process.
The nursing staff [at Neway Medical] were incredibly sweet. They came to know me as a person, and I never felt like I was just another patient they had to deal with. They were always very responsive when I reached out via phone or email with questions...Early on, there was some confusing back-and-forth with getting the Ovidrel, which needed to come from a specialty pharmacy. It hadn't been called in and approved by insurance when I called the pharmacy, so there was a lot of time spent on the phone with Neway and then with the pharmacy again to get it straightened out, and I eventually ended up borrowing a spare Ovidrel from Neway. After that snafu, there were no more issues with prescriptions.
How was your experience with Ralf Zimmermann (retired) at Neway Medical?
Dr. Zimmermann very clearly knows this area very well. His knowledge of the biology and science behind it all was very reassuring. Sometimes our meetings could feel rushed, but he always thoroughly answered my questions when I asked them. He made candid recommendations while also remaining sensitive.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ralf Zimmermann (retired) at Neway Medical?
Come to your meetings with him prepared with the questions you want to ask.

Describe the protocols Ralf Zimmermann (retired) used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
I do not ovulate or get my period, so after the initial tests, we did cycles with Clomid to induce follicle growth and then an Ovidrel injection to induce ovulation, followed by timed intercourse. We did six timed intercourse cycles, all with negative results. There was no issue with my husband's sperm, but we decided to try one or two rounds of IUI before proceeding to IVF. After the first IUI procedure (done again with Ovidrel and Clomid), I became pregnant.

Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
The doctors are knowledgable the the nursing staff is warm and very responsive. There were some headaches with insurance/prescriptions, so I'd recommend being very on top of that and making sure that you double-check any fees and understand completely who is calling in what prescription and what you need to do to get it.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ralf Zimmermann (retired) at Neway Medical.
There was a co-pay for each visit, and I think that was it.

Due to her [Dr. Luk] cultural background, she's fairly candid and blunt. But I always felt she was compassionate and personally invested in my care. She did her absolute best to make sure that I was taken care of by her staff, and did her personal best to help me through any other issues that she could...She was trying to balance not over medicating me, but also hoping to get enough good eggs knowing that I have zero IVF insurance coverage...
They're [Neway Medical] very aggressive about billing. Immediately phoning for payment as soon as a procedure is done. Even phoning for payment for a procedure that hadn't even been fully decided on yet by the doctor ... Arrive to the receptionist and check in that you've arrived. Seen by the phlebotomists in the order of arrival. Proceed to the ultrasound waiting room and get seen in order there. ...It started out great with nurses that responded to my emails immediately, but as my time there progressed, the nursing staff was having a lot of turnover
How was your experience with Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
Due to her cultural background, she's fairly candid and blunt. But I always felt she was compassionate and personally invested in my care. She did her absolute best to make sure that I was taken care of by her staff, and did her personal best to help me through any other issues that she could.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
She can come across as blunt and not quite as warm, but she is very warm and personable once you get to know who she is. She definitely cares and wants to solve problems. She doesn't follow one treatment plan for everyone but looks over all of your medical information to make a personal plan for each patient.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
I was personally spoken to or emailed on every single occasion.
Describe the protocols Janelle Luk used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
For first round IVF (undiagnosed infertility, I'm almost 35), I think she started with a fairly normal regiment of meds (based on what I read from online forums). My eggs/follicles weren't progressing (on one side) as much as she liked, so she started to increase the medications in hopes of a good cycle. She was trying to balance not over medicating me, but also hoping to get enough good eggs knowing that I have zero IVF insurance coverage. In the end, we were able to retrieve 9 eggs, but only 2 embryos made it for PGD testing.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Neway Medical.
It started out great with nurses that responded to my emails immediately, but as my time there progressed, the nursing staff was having a lot of turnover and Dr. Luk even expressed frustration over this. I don't know what was going on.
Describe your experience with Neway Medical.
Strength: organized, easy to get a hold of someone, treated like a person and not a number, little details like pads/tampons in the exam rooms are appreciated, everything can be done over email (which I prefer because I can't be making private calls at work all the time) Weakness: They're very aggressive about billing. Immediately phoning for payment as soon as a procedure is done. Even phoning for payment for a procedure that hadn't even been fully decided on yet by the doctor (that was annoying to keep explaining that we haven't even fully decided yet if we're doing this procedure, so I'm definitely not paying yet). By the end of my time there, there was a lot of turnover in staff (phlebotomists, nursing, etc)
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Neway Medical.
It was mostly a well-oiled machine. Arrive to the receptionist and check in that you've arrived. Seen by the phlebotomists in the order of arrival. Proceed to the ultrasound waiting room and get seen in order there. Nurse and Dr come in to do the ultrasound and you are out the door.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Janelle Luk at Neway Medical.
I have zero IVF insurance coverage and everything was out of pocket. These were my approximate expenses: 16,500 for IVF (including all monitoring and bloodwork), anesthesia for egg retrieval, PGD/freezing process, and FET Not including: Medications and genetic testing done at third party labs
Describe Janelle Luk's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
This didn't apply to me as I only had one viable embryo to transfer.

On all of my monitoring visits, Dr. Luk would ask me why I was there. I'm unsure if this ws her method to check in and assess my insight and understanding about the process, but it upset and frustrated me, and my perception was that she did not remember who I was...Dr. Luk's communication style was extremely direct and rushed, and sometimes there was a tone of condescension when I posed questions to her, particularly questions we'd discussed before for which I was looking for further clarification.
The clinic's [Neway Medical] strengths are the ease of scheduling monitoring and the easy monitoring hours which allows visits prior to work in the morning. I think this leads to very busy morning hours where the wait can be up to an hour for blood work and ultrasound...the nursing staff were always pleasant for blood draws and prepping for ultrasound. If I asked them questions, they often replied with "I'm new here and I'm not sure"
How was your experience with Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
Dr. Luk's communication style was extremely direct and rushed, and sometimes there was a tone of condescension when I posed questions to her, particularly questions we'd discussed before for which I was looking for further clarification. One of the visits that stuck with me most was a monitoring cycle for natural IUI. I was instructed to come for bloods and ultrasound. After I gave a blood sample, I was taken to an ultrasound room, but then the nurse said "oh, actually no ultrasound" and I was not given any further information. I sat waiting for Dr. Luk for 45 mins before insisting I speak with her and ask why no ultrasound and what was the next step. She informed me that I would not have an ultrasound and IUI would be tomorrow. I have the feeling if I hadn't demanded to speak with her, I wold have left the clinic without any information regarding my visit nor instruction about returning for IUI. This is the kind of interaction that characterized my interactions with her and ultimately lead to me changing doctors within the practice.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
Choose another doctor who is less rushed and has more time for her patients. Also, not to expect a warm and empathic bedside manner.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Janelle Luk at Neway Medical?
On all of my monitoring visits, Dr. Luk would ask me why I was there. I'm unsure if this ws her method to check in and assess my insight and understanding about the process, but it upset and frustrated me, and my perception was that she did not remember who I was. Considering monitoring happens a couple of times per week in that final week leading up to the trigger and IUI, I was always taken aback by her lack of memory about why I was there.
Describe the protocols Janelle Luk used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
My first two cycles of IUI were not stimulated with any drugs, as that was my request. This was one element I was happy with regarding having her as my doctor (i.e., she allowed me to do natural cycles despite low chances of success which she communicated). As I was ovulating naturally, we then attempted one IUI with Ovidrel trigger shot, with the rational that we could time IUI better.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Neway Medical.
The nursing staff were always pleasant for blood draws and prepping for ultrasound. If I asked them questions, they often replied with "I'm new here and I'm not sure", but they would check with the doctor. Phone conversations with them are always pleasant.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Janelle Luk at Neway Medical.
Most of the IUI was covered by my insurance but I can say the I paid a co-pay of $40 each visit. I think she once quoted me $700 for an IUI procedure including semen wash and analysis (this was during a period where I had changed insurance provider and coverage for IUI was still being determined by my insurance).
Describe Janelle Luk's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
Her approach to medications was always recommending medications over natural cycle to improve chances of pregnancy.
What specific things went wrong at Neway Medical?
  • Failed to send your chart to another clinic
  • Failed to inform you of changes in protocol
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Neway Medical.
I asked for my chart to be sent to the clinic that Dr. Luk transferred to (Generation Next). They did not send the entire chart, only part of it. It also took a number of follow-up calls to get the chart sent. Also, please see previous comment about the day that bloods were taken but no ultrasound and there was a lack of communication/instruction around this.

Dr. nejat was easy to get in touch with (very on top of his email communication) he really considered my medical history and family dynamic and schedule and we decided on treatments and timing TOGETHER.... Dr nejat was very calm, patient, and explained everything when i had questions. his bedside manner was excellent and i really appreciated it. my most important thing in a doctor was one who could really understand my personal situation and tailor the protocol to my needs
reception staff [Neway Medical - New York] are top rate. they know your name even as you are just walking in the door. they answer questions quickly by phone and email and are very welcoming and direct you pleasantly within the center. billing department was fine. only thing is that they didnt know that i would need auth for iui injection meds seperate from the auth for iui and i had to pay for the meds out of pocket. also they dont send out their bills in timely fashion

1 cycle clomid 1 cycle letrozole- switched to letrozole to minimize reaction to side effects as well as personal exposure based on family history with cancer in relatives who did fertility treatments 1 cycle letrozole with iui to try and increase chance of pregnancy after this IVF was recomended bec of my age and the length of time since my last pregnancy . mild stimulation to produce minimal eggs and therefore retreival without anesthesia was recomended to limit my exposure to drugs based on family history. we tried to prep for a cycle several times and as yet have not been able to see one thru, mostly bec of logisits not medically related

He [Dr. Nejat] was extremely compassionate and willing to answer all questions. He was always concerned with me as a human not just as a reproductive challenge. He never made me feel rushed. He also showed an impressive capacity and willingness to listen and learn...My one and only criticism was that sometimes when I had a concern that required a detailed understanding of the science behind something (like the use of one drug over another) he didn’t want to get into that detail with me. His standard answer in those instances was always “I’m not worried about that.”
I love that this clinic [Neway Medical] offers a range of treatment options and respects the natural cycles of your body, trying to support it rather than manhandle it. But they also can throw all hormones and control tools if necessary...[Nursing Staff] They were so responsive! And always very competent. And almost all of them were very warm and extremely helpful...The egg retrieval was $8000 not counting medicine and checkups. The transfer was $4000 not counting meds or checkups.
How was your experience with Edward Nejat at Neway Medical?
He was extremely compassionate and willing to answer all questions. He was always concerned with me as a human not just as a reproductive challenge. He never made me feel rushed. He also showed an impressive capacity and willingness to listen and learn. When I showed him research about a procedure I had concerns about, he read it and told me he would adjust his use of it going forward. My one and only criticism was that sometimes when I had a concern that required a detailed understanding of the science behind something (like the use of one drug over another) he didn’t want to get into that detail with me. His standard answer in those instances was always “I’m not worried about that.” I’m a person who does a lot of research and wanted to understand for myself whether I should or should not worry about something. At the end of the day, I never felt like he always steered me in the right direction and made the best decisions he could with the information available and gave me truly excellent care. I never doubted the quality of care and I really trusted him.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Edward Nejat at Neway Medical?
Know he has your best interests at heart and that he really will answer with all details and the science behind his decisions if you explicitly push him to tell you that level of detail.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Edward Nejat at Neway Medical?
He clearly cared about me and my experience under his care. He was always kind and when I admitted to struggling emotionally with the process he gently offered infertility support group references without being pushy about it. He also always seemed interested in me as a person and remembered details about my life from one session to the next. He was also always willing to answer as many questions as I wanted to ask.
Describe the protocols Edward Nejat used in your cycles at Neway Medical and their degree of success.
We used Letrozole in all but one IUI cycle because of my PCOS diagnosis and I responded well to it. The one time we tried Clomid (after my first or second negative pregnancy test), it thinned my lining too much so we went back to Clomid. Dr. Nejat always tried to support my natural cycle as much as possible. When I asked to go on Progesterone after each IUI he prescribed it without challenging me. When I asked to go on Metformin for my PCOS after my 6th IUI (and first chemical pregnancy) he also agreed without challenging me. He gave me lower doses of injectable hormones in the lead up to my egg retrieval to protect me from hyper stimulation (though I ended up hyper stimulated anyway). The egg retrieval, fertilization process and transfer went off without a hitch!

Describe Edward Nejat's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Neway Medical.
Because I was 36 with no major fertility complications, he preferred doing a single transfer to avoid a multiple pregnancy. I agreed.
