Dr. Ziegler is a strong communicator. He is attentive and patient. I am able to speak with him in person and over the phone. He is honest and will paint the whole picture for you so that you have realistic expectations. He also explains technical things at a level that is comprehendable to the patient...has years of experience and I always felt that he was compassionate and non judge mental when responding to my questions. He also has a way of explaining scientific and technical things as a level that is comprehendable to his patients.
Great clinic. This practice [Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey] has been around for a while and is a well oiled machine. I never experience long wait times and my appointments never last long, which I appreciate since I am a full time working mom. The cycle monitoring appointments are always early in the morning so I am never too late for work...Nursing staff is compassionate and patient. If they don’t know the answer to a question, they work hard to get you an answer.

How was your experience with William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Dr. Ziegler is a strong communicator. He is attentive and patient. I am able to speak with him in person and over the phone. He is honest and will paint the whole picture for you so that you have realistic expectations. He also explains technical things at a level that is comprehendable to the patient. I would recommend his practice to a friend who is looking to undergo fertility treatment.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Do not hesitate to ask questions, even when you are think they seem silly. Dr. Ziegler has years of experience and I always felt that he was compassionate and non judge mental when responding to my questions. He also has a way of explaining scientific and technical things as a level that is comprehendable to his patients.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Dr. Ziegler was always able to meet with me in person upon request. I did not feel rushed when I had questions. He was also available via phone. When I had IUIs that resulted in a negative pregnancy test, Dr. Ziegler communicated with me directly over the phone. I appreciated this rather than notification over a portal or via the nursing staff. He had me take updated tests over the course of treating me to ensure we were always capturing my current fertility state. I also felt that he was honest with me regarding my chances for success.

Describe the costs associated with your care under William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
I have insurance through my employer which covers the cost of my procedures up to $20k lifetime max and up to $6k lifetime max. I paid out of pocket for what wasn’t covered. Once I maxed out my prescription max, some of the prescriptions were discounted because of the relationship between the fertility pharmacy and the practice.

He [Dr. William Ziegler] spoke to us so we would understood .. broke everything down completely. He was VERY responsive to phone calls. Made us feel like we were his only patients...He took us straight to our best route. He didn’t push any unnecessary testing. He never made us feel like we were making the wrong decision. I truly feel he had our best interest. The only downfall is his office appointments in Toms River are limited (which is probably irrelevant)considering he was always available in Eatontown . I can’t wait to meet with him again in the near future for a consult.
[The nurses at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey are] Very real. Very helpful. Very talkative. I felt comfortable confiding in them if I wasn’t sure what was going on during the visit...Strengths- friendly environment/ overall pleasant happy staff (they will remember you) Weakness - all situational (where you live — office hours for Toms River testing) .. cost of extra testing and storage but that’s probably the same everywhere but they are completely transparent with it.

Oh man. Ok so we used a million shots ... so many shots. I can’t remember the specifics I’m just so glad it was successful. We started treatment in maybe March/April. Retrieval was in July. Transfer in August. The last medication I have on my fridge is menopure. I remember using a vaginal to build my lining towards the end but can’t remember the name (it wasn’t as terrible as everyone makes it seem). I am/will do this all over again.

How was your experience with Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Dr Martinez is the sweetest, most caring doctor I've ever had. I had to have one of my fallopian tubes removed, as well as some endometriosis and polyps. I felt so reassured, having him as my surgeon as well as my IVF doctor. He is very patient, and will explain everything in as much detail as you need. I have never felt rushed in my appointments with him and he always takes the time to make sure I am feeling good and positive every step of the way.

Dr. Martinez always took the time to explain everything in detail, and in a way that hopeful and friendly and understandable. He is very caring and empathetic.
Describe the protocols Alan Martinez used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey and their degree of success.
When we first came to Dr. Martinez, I had a tubal blockage that I knew I would have to be surgically removed. He explained everything to me, and I felt very confident going into the surgery. Afterwards, I wanted to try to get pregnant naturally (with one fallopian tube remaining), and he never pressured me to start IVF right away. A few months later, we were more mentally prepared to start the IVF process and again, he explained every step and was very patient with us. During our first egg retrieval, we had a very sudden death in the family, which I do think affected our outcome—we had about 9 eggs retrieved and only one embryo that made it to day 5. We did another egg retrieval round and Dr. Martinez tweaked my protocol (I believe it was a long lupron cycle). This time we got 9 eggs again, but 5 made it to day 5, so we had 6 embryos total. We did PGS and had 3 viable embryos after the testing. Our first FET was successful, and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy in 2017.
Now we are trying for our second, with 2 embryos left. We transferred in February, and I did get pregnant, but the pregnancy didn't continue after week 7. Dr. Martinez ran a VERY through pregnancy-loss panel of blood tests, and has tweaked my treatment for the next transfer. We are hopeful that the next FET will be a success!

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
Morning monitoring/blood work is from 7-8am. Sometimes there can be up to 10 people who come in, that I've seen. They move pretty quickly, doesn't take too long once you get there.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
Our first IVF round was out-of-pocket. We paid a lump sum that included the egg retrieval, ICSI, an FET cycle and assisted hatching. We paid separate for medication at Mandell's Pharmacy. This time around, we are covered by insurance, so I only make copayments when I see the doctor (not for monitoring) and medications are covered.
Describe Alan Martinez's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
Dr. Martinez was/is of the mind that one embryo transferred at a time was the right course of action for us.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Be up front with what your expectations are. If you want to go right to IVF due to financial concerns tell him. If you want to go slow and start with Clomid and timed intercourse let him know. The more honest you are the better.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Dr M carefully explained everything and never just threw facts and info at us.
Describe the protocols Alan Martinez used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey and their degree of success.
My first cycle was with clomid and IUI. We weren’t in a rush to have a baby at this point and we’re fine with doing a more conservative approach round one. The IUI didn’t work and then I had cysts from the clomid. Fast forward three months and we tried an alternative drug for clomid, I didn’t respond and had cysts again. At our next consult dr M wanted to go to injectables with IUI but due to my insurance cap I wanted to go right to IVF, dr M got us in with the next group. We did a standard protocol with ICSI, dr M believed I would produce a decent amount of eggs, which I did, 18, 12 mature, and the quality should be good due to my age and AMH.

Dr. Ziegler is like a member of the family - even when things don't go as well as you hope he is honest and supportive and helps you make the best decision possible for you and your family...no matter how hard the case he will do what he can to help you... We have had a rocky road but he has been the one constant source of support throughout a process that not many understand or can help you through. I would say the one limitation is the size of the practice which means patients have to be batched - this can take more time for treatment but I believe this is a very common practice in the industry. Dr. Ziegler is honest and very up to date on the latest research and will give you the honest story on things that may be trending but not clinically validated.
They [nurses at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey] have been great to me throughout the process...[monitoring hours were] Very convenient and didn't take away from work which was great. Never took more than a half hour...He [Dr. Ziegler] actively follows the guidelines as outlined by SART etc. Single embryo was used with pgs. With non-pgs he follows age based guidelines.

Describe the protocols William Ziegler used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey and their degree of success.
Birth Control for 2-3 weeks
overlap with low dose lupron 20 units
Lupron only for 4 days
Stimulation using Follistim/Gonal- F - 225 units (on cycle 2 we went up to 300 half way through Stim)
menopur 75 units (on cycle 2 went up to 150 units half way through)
estrogen from 2- 6 mg increasing overtime
Doxycycline 2X per day for 4 days
Medrol - 3 days
Progesterone Ethyloleate 1ml - 5 days pre-transfer
Crinone - day after transfer
Expected decent response - increase happened when not responding as well as first round.
Round 1 - 14 eggs harvested, 10 mature, 8 fertilized, 4 non pgs tested embryos
FET transfer 2 years later - two embryos - ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks - one identified trisomy 15
2 remaining 3AA and 4BB embryos
Endometrial Receptivity Analysis - Receptive
Round 2 -
14 eggs harvested
13 mature
10 fertilized
2 blastocyst
1 PGS normal, one trisomy 11 and 22
FET - transferred one embryo - negative test
What we have discovered - my blood pressure and thyroid react poorly to estrogen - we now know moving forward to test thyroid frequently and be on BP meds ahead of FET cycle. Interestingly, my body handles a retrieval better than the FET meds - we are considering a fresh transfer as a next step.

Did not opt for PGS this first time [with Dr. William Ziegler] but will do so in our next round. Male factor was the reason why we used ICSI...is a total professional and really helps to try and explain the procedures and process. He's a straight shooter for sure and tells you how it is. I'm someone who needs a bit more delicate bedside manner but he still made me feel like he's on my team and there to make things work. He's called me after hours multiple times just to make sure he touched base and let me know what's next.
The timing [of monitoring appointments at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey] was pretty convenient for me and most of the time it ran like a well-oiled machine. I was in and out within 15-30 minutes usually...Really like this clinic. They're timely and responsive. They all move pretty quickly through my appointments - haven't had to wait an excessive amount of time to get an appointment and they tend to explain things pretty well. My biggest complaint is informing me about timing - while I understand that things can change during a cycle - I would like to know a roundabout timeframe of when I can expect next processes. Understanding where the process is going and how long each aspect will take would really help me to understand where I'm at.

How was your experience with William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Dr. Ziegler is a total professional and really helps to try and explain the procedures and process. He's a straight shooter for sure and tells you how it is. I'm someone who needs a bit more delicate bedside manner but he still made me feel like he's on my team and there to make things work. He's called me after hours multiple times just to make sure he touched base and let me know what's next. I have no doubt that he will continue to be on my team and help me get the outcome we want.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Ask all your questions! Dr. Ziegler knows it all.
Describe the protocols William Ziegler used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey and their degree of success.
Downregulation IVF with ICSI. I used Follistim, Menopur (150 iu and 75 iu respectively). Did not opt for PGS this first time but will do so in our next round. Male factor was the reason why we used ICSI.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
They were very quick to answer my questions when I called and left me instructions I needed. I would have liked to see them check in more periodically during the cycle.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
Really like this clinic. They're timely and responsive. They all move pretty quickly through my appointments - haven't had to wait an excessive amount of time to get an appointment and they tend to explain things pretty well. My biggest complaint is informing me about timing - while I understand that things can change during a cycle - I would like to know a roundabout timeframe of when I can expect next processes. Understanding where the process is going and how long each aspect will take would really help me to understand where I'm at.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
The timing was pretty convenient for me and most of the time it ran like a well-oiled machine. I was in and out within 15-30 minutes usually.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
Embryo freezing - $900 for the first year
PGS Testing - $1200ish for clinic plus a charge per embryo at the PGS testing place.
Everything else is covered by insurance 100% after my deductible is paid.

Dr. Ziegler is very thorough and explains everything to you. He never makes you feel stupid or lost. He goes over every step and explains every detail. I was overwhelmed when I started IVF. He always made sure I understood and would write everything down. After my lap surgery he contacted me the next day to check in.... He immediately understood our situation/concerns and was very easy to speak with. He made us feel very welcomed and at ease.
They [the nurses at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey] were very friendly and helpful. They never gave me information that was crucial without checking with the doctor first. They do need to practice better communication.... we did 10 days of stim medications/injections. I cannot remember the exact meds. I think I used Gonal F, menapour, estradiol and PIO. I used Pregnyl for the trigger. I believe I had to do 3 days of Ganirelix. Whatever I did do it worked because we retrieved 22 eggs! And out of 22 eggs we had 4 perfect embryos!

He was very strict with how many we could transfer based on my age and the embryo quality. He follows the guidelines. He did go over both single and multiple.

He never pressured us or swayed us one way or another he gave us straight facts and let us do what we felt was most comfortable.
With the iuis that was covered under our insurance. With ivf our insurance does not cover anything but they did absolutely try for us. We paid out of pocket so far around $18,000 and I haven't regretted it. We are still undergoing our ivf journey...I love that I can call up [Reproductive Science Center] with any question or concern no matter how crazy and they always take my concern with full attention. I have never felt alone in this whole process I actually feel like they are rooting for me each step of the way.

Dr. Martinez takes as much time as needed to cover all the patient's concerns and to get all the info needed to help them. He went the extra mile and wrote letters to the VA on our behalf explaining why we needed medical coverage to get pregnant.

When my husband I and came back to the clinic in 2017 Dr. Martinez was new to us. From the first visit on, we felt comfortable with him and felt like he truly cared about our wellbeing and the outcome. He was understanding, patient, compassionate and kind through my entire cycle with him. When my transfer last year did not turn out successfully, he called multiple times to check on my status and wellbeing. I knew that when we were ready to try again, he was going to be my doctor.
I mainly saw Tiffany and Marianela in Lawrenceville [RSC of NJ], who are the best! They both were informative, compassionate and caring. They always took interest and just made me feel comfortable. The nurses in Eatontown are also really great. During my last procedure Heather was really great and helped me get through a difficult retrival. I can't say enough good things about the nursing staff, they are one of a kind.

How was your experience with Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
I was a patient of Reproductive Science Center starting in 2011 or 2012. The doctor, who is no longer with the practice, was less than satisfactory to say the least. She had no bedside manner and just felt cold. I ultimately got pregnant by another doctor during that time frame and had my first child. When my husband I and came back to the clinic in 2017 Dr. Martinez was new to us. From the first visit on, we felt comfortable with him and felt like he truly cared about our wellbeing and the outcome. He was understanding, patient, compassionate and kind through my entire cycle with him. When my transfer last year did not turn out successfully, he called multiple times to check on my status and wellbeing. I knew that when we were ready to try again, he was going to be my doctor. Today was my last visit with him and I've had mixed emotions because while I want to move on and grow my pregnancy the "normal" way, I wish he and the nurses could see this pregnancy all the way through. I've never felt more comfortable with a doctor than I have with Dr. Martinez. It's a very invasive and stressful time and you want someone to have your back and that's how I've felt every step of the way. I would recommend Dr. Martinez to anyone that is going through this experience. He is simply the best!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Be patient and trust that Dr. Martinez will guide you in the right direction. Even if things don't turn out the way you want them to, trust that he has your best interest in mind.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Dr. Martinez and the team of nurses in both Lawrenceville and Eatontown, while incredibly busy, always made me feel like they were devoting all their attention to me. I'd watch countless patients come and go and I always felt special when I was working with them.

I can't say enough good things about the nursing staff, they are one of a kind.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
I don't have many bad things to say about the clinic. The only improvement I might suggest is through the billing department. Sometimes, I'd receive conflicting information when asking questions, however I do understand that this is a complicated topic so I took it all with a grain of salt. A strength is that its seems as though overall the staff is incredibly compassionate, caring and knowledgeable.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
For my first treatment cycle with Dr. Martinez, my prescription medication maximum was met so I ended up paying around $6,000. My second cycle, I've only had to pay a few hundred dollars as my insurance renewed because of some special circumstances.
Describe Alan Martinez's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
Dr. Martinez, my husband and I discussed this in depth and we decided given my history and current state that transferring multiple embryos was the best course for us.

At the time I was trying to get pregnant on my own and using Donor Sperm. I tried 3 IUI cycles where all 3 times my eggs just weren't growing to a large enough size (I believe it's 10mm+?) they needed to be to proceed with using the Donor Sperm for any of the cycles. Luckily my Insurance is top notch and covered all my treatments and Meds for the IUI cycles. Having been unsuccessful the clinic suggested using a Donor Egg and my existing Donor Sperm

I had no issue with Dr. Martinez at all. He's always been great every time I talked to him. Always willing to explain anything and everything I asked him. My issue was mainly with the clinic and something that occurred last year during my treatments. I'd rather not say at this time.

None of which was covered by my Insurance, so I borrowed against my 401K and proceeded. Out of the 6 eggs that were fertilized only 1 survived which was used for the IVF cycle; unsuccessfully implanted so now I'm back to where I was with no baby, in debt and locked into my Company and job until it's paid back in 5 yrs. :( I'm taking a break right now struggling with the lack of baby and what I'm going to do next.

He has been very through and has answered all questions. The consults have been very informative. I am overweight and I know Dr. Martinez should mention that losing weight would help fertility issues but I felt like he was a little judgmental and I felt like I was being blamed for issues. I know that was not his intention but that is how I felt.... When I asked why I had to go on birth control before IVF, the response was that they had to control my cycle because there are so many egg retrievals in the office.
They [RSC of NJ] communicate well, it's easy to make an appointment and they are kind. Sometimes I feel rushed. They also only do procedures at the Eatontown office which is far from where I live. When having iuis I asked for a little bit later appointment (it was 7am) due to the distance we were driving and they would not accommodate us.... I once got bloodwork done to check progesterone and they did not call to tell me the results, however they did post on the patient portal.

Ask questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Alan Martinez at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
There have been a few times where I felt rushed because the office was busy. I also felt like some of the appointments, like a pre-op appointment could have been combined with another appointment because all I did was sign paperwork and had to pay a copay. When I asked why I had to go on birth control before IVF, the response was that they had to control my cycle because there are so many egg retrievals in the office. Other times he was wonderful and did treat me like a human.
