Review of
He's [Dr. Copperman] knowledgable, yet very clinical. Very pro western medicine, not all that progressive and a bit one sized fits all. His strength certainly comes from that fact that he has years of experience and a successful clinic, and while he can be rushed, he is certainly compassionate. He personally called us after we had an extremely unfortunate cycle.
[RMA of NY] is certainly a cattle call and everything is piecemeal and siloed - each part of the process takes place in a different area with a different person. You interact with at least 3-4 people in a single visit and it's never the same people. I knew that it was a large center before cycling, yet they could add some continuity, such as being assigned to one nurse for your cycle.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Alan Copperman at RMA of New York?
It's a large clinic with 100s of patients cycling at a time. The nurses and doctors are compassionate; however, you don't see any of them enough to create a rapport.
Describe the protocols Alan Copperman used in your cycles at RMA of New York and their degree of success.
Protocol 1: Antagonist, 300 gonal, 2 -3 powder menopur. 5 eggs, 0 fertilized
Protocol 2: Microdose Lupron, lupron morning and night, 300 gonal, 2 powder menopur. 12 eggs, 3 fertilized
The first cycle was a standard initial protocol and it did not work with my body, which is why we moved to a more aggressive microdose flare protocol. While results were much better we had challenges with fertilization at RMA. We dramatically increased our fertilization when we switched clinics.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at RMA of New York.
They were kind and mostly provided directions. I especially appreciated that they both called and then emailed all directions and test results. When your head is spacey this is extremely helpful. They do not draw blood or interact with you at every visit, so the process is a bit more disjointed than it is at other clinics.

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of New York.
Factory conveyer belt - they move quickly and efficiently and you all huddle in the waiting room until your number is called. It was no more than 10-15min for monitoring (note: heading in on the earlier side is better).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Alan Copperman at RMA of New York.
Not sure, but billing was easy if you are out of pocket. Extremely fast and efficient, one email clearly laying out all costs. Once you paid you never thought about it again, which was refreshing.
