Review of

Bat-Sheva Maslow Extend Fertility

I felt that Dr. Maslow was definitely educated and intelligent and when I did get to speak with her, she was very willing to explain everything. However, after the initial consultation, I did not see her once. She was not at any of my monitoring appointments and did not perform my egg retrieval. After the retrieval, she did call me with the results, even though they were worse than we hoped

The [Extend Fertility] clinic is very organized. Your calls are answered and nurses call back quickly. Everyone is very nice and professional and you feel taken care of by the support staff. The only issue I had was communication with the nurses and doctor. The clinic itself is very nice though...The nurses were not always up to date on the latest decisions that had been made.

However, after the initial consultation, I did not see her once. She was not at any of my monitoring appointments and did not perform my egg retrieval. After the retrieval, she did call me with the results, even though they were worse than we hoped. It took two weeks to get a phone call with her after my cycle. I felt that this was completely unacceptable. She did not encourage me to email or call her with any questions and overall I did not feel supported at all.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

Advocate for yourself and ask questions

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

Dr Maslow was always nice when we spoke, however I felt that she did not communicate often enough and I was left with many questions and confusion a lot of the time

Describe the protocols Bat-Sheva Maslow used in your cycles at Extend Fertility and their degree of success.

I had two vials of menopur and gonal. At a certain point the menopur was increased the three vials and cetrotide was added. My cycle was not nearly as successful as we had hoped it would be.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Extend Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Avigayil Edelman )

The care coordinator was extremely helpful and always called me back quickly answering all of my questions. I felt that the nursing team in general did not take the time to make sure that the patient fully understood the instructions or results. They didn’t offer any information, you had to ask every single question if you wanted answers

Describe Bat-Sheva Maslow's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Extend Fertility.

We did not get to that point as we had no healthy embryos

What specific things went wrong at Extend Fertility?

Provided conflicting information

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Extend Fertility.

The nurses were not always up to date on the latest decisions that had been made. They would call me and say things like “start estrogen patches so we can do your next cycle in 10 days” and I would just be confused because I hadn’t even spoken the the doctor about my last cycle and had not made any decisions about upcoming ones

Bat-Sheva Maslow Extend Fertility

I met with [Dr. Bat-Sheva Maslow] when I first was thinking about starting the process and she was very clear about what I should expect and answered all my questions, she also called in a few days after my retrieval to check in and answer any other questions, which really made me feel like I was in great, caring hands...It was nice to start and end with Dr. Maslow, because of the familiarity. Also, she was very clear about expectations and had no problem answering all of my questions...

The staff at Extend Fertility as a whole was amazing. Everyone was so caring and had no problem answering questions...Lovely and caring staff. Good communication. Clean and organized facility. The nurses did a great job with communicating next steps and answering follow up questions. During treatment for egg retrieval it is a lot monitoring and blood work, but Extend Fertility was efficient, so that even when I had to go to work afterwards, it was a huge stress. I only wish that they had an Extend Fertility also in Brooklyn...I saw Dr. Guarnaccia and Dr. Maslow. Dr. Guarnaccia preformed my medical scan as well as my retrieval and Dr. Maslow met with me for my final follow up.

How was your experience with Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

Dr. Guarnaccia is amazing. He performed my medical exam as well as my egg retrieval. He was so professional, but personable. I felt very comfortable asking questions and he was very clear with expectations. I truly felt like I was in great hands with Dr. Guarnaccia and I was. After the retrieval, I had almost no pain and the procedure went very smooth. I would highly recommend Dr. Guarnaccia to anyone considering egg retrieval. Dr. Maslow was great. I met with Dr. Maslow for my initial consultation and she reached out to follow up a few days after my procedure. It was nice to start and end with Dr. Maslow, because of the familiarity. Also, she was very clear about expectations and had no problem answering all of my questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Maslow to anyone considering egg retrieval.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

Feel comfortable asking questions, because they both do a wonderful job making the patient feel comfortable and outlining clear expectations.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

During my visits to Extend Fertility I saw Dr. Guarnaccia and Dr. Maslow. Dr. Guarnaccia preformed my medical scan as well as my retrieval and Dr. Maslow met with me for my final follow up. The process went very seamless and I had all of my questions answered. Dr.Guarnaccia is wonderful. I felt very comfortable under his care, especially for the actual egg retrieval. Following my procedure, I had no pain and the aftercare plan was very well communicated. I met with Dr. Maslow when I first was thinking about starting the process and she was very clear about what I should expect and answered all my questions, she also called in a few days after my retrieval to check in and answer any other questions, which really made me feel like I was in great, caring hands. I would highly recommend both doctors!

Describe your experience with your nurse at Extend Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Molly Spilka, Tamar Tenenbaum)

The staff at Extend Fertility as a whole was amazing. Everyone was so caring and had no problem answering questions. The communication was great during my procedure which made me feel so much more comfortable. Tamar my fertility advisor is amazing. She made me feel much more at ease each step, because she answered all of my questions and was very caring. Molly the nurse I worked with is also amazing. She clearly and thoroughly showed me how to mix and administer my medication. She took her time in explaining and answering any questions. If it was not for her, I do not think I would have been as comfortable administering my medication.

Describe your experience with Extend Fertility.

Extend Fertility Strengths: Lovely and caring staff. Good communication. Clean and organized facility. The nurses did a great job with communicating next steps and answering follow up questions.

Bat-Sheva Maslow Extend Fertility

I had a short agonist protocol which was closely monitored and had frequent dose adaptions [by Dr. Maslow] and an lupron trigger. The retrieval date was determined based on the monitoring. She did everything to ensure a good numebr and quality of eggs and the results with her were excellent and a lot better than in my previous treatments. She was able to retrieve a large number of eggs, almost all of them were mature.

Cara [nurse at Extend Fertility] was very helpful and well organized. She was always up to date with what was going on with my case and she took care of all issue...[Monitoring appointments are] Very well organized, quick and efficient. Staff is well trained and very kind and respectful... the set up is designed to improve the results. The monitoring is not just for safety but to optimize for the chances of a good outcome. They usually don't schedule the cycle but start based on the natural cycle which improves chances, also the retrieval date is based on the monitoring and therefore flexible, this increases the chance for an optimal result.

How was your experience with Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

She answered all of my questions, I asked about many issues concerning my case as well as research and upcoming treatments. She was very understanding, knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt very safe with her regarding my treatment and that she did everything to improve my outcome.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

Ask all questions you have and let her know your wishes, she solved a lot of issues that I thought could not be changed.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

She was very warm and understanding, I felt like she cared a lot about me and my outcome. I felt like I can trust her and she found the best treatment for me while answering my questions.

At one point I was traveling and needed help urgently, I emailed her about the issue, she called me within seconds and solved my problem right away.

I had one fee that paid for the whole cycle, I thought it was very affordable.

Review of

Bat-Sheva Maslow Extend Fertility

I am seeing Dr. Maslow for egg freezing.... Dr. Maslow was extremely helpful in explaining the complicated elements of a pleasing to me. She was easy to talk to you even when my results were not so great in the beginning stages. She was encouraging but honest throughout the process, which I really appreciated.... She also went through other hypothetical AMH blood levels with me and how that might impact my anticipated results.

Extend Fertility provides egg freezing exclusively, so I found the prices are lower than other clinics for this very specific service. They used to offer free consultations and diagnostic testing, but now they charge $250 and if you end up using them to freeze your eggs you get to apply that amount to the cost of your egg freezing cycle.... There was one time when I showed up for a blood test that the nurse told me my test wasn’t on the calendar.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

I would come with a list of questions for her. There’s a lot of basic information that needs to be told every single patient but beyond that it really is up to you to do your research and make sure you ask the right questions so that you get the answers you need to feel comfortable with your personal care.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

She sat down with me face-to-face for a full hour and thoroughly went through my test results with me. She also went through other hypothetical AMH blood levels with me and how that might impact my anticipated results.

I’m still in the process of my treatment so I haven’t had any protocols performed yet.

The nursing staff are all generally friendly, and helpful. They were all very accommodating of my fear of needles.

I only met her [Dr. Bat-Sheva Maslow] once during a consultation and was once seen by a different doctor during the routine visits. She did not do my retrieval. She was really nice and knowledgeable and patiently answered my questions...It was a standard egg retrieval process. They told me to add more hormones based on the growth of my follicles...it feels more like you are a patient of the clinic then any patient of a specific doctor.

It's a smaller office, but it's still a bit of a factory. At least it's a well oiled machine with many polite and friendly nurses and staff.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Extend Fertility.

The nurses were sweet, smart, friendly, patient and follow up. However, you have to be organized as things can slip through the cracks. A pharmacy didn't get the prescription and they never told me which type of trigger shot i needed until i asked. I did call to speak to a nurse after a treatment as i was experiencing vertigo and they were useless with that issue. However, this does not surprise me since it was not directly related to the procedure

Describe your experience with Extend Fertility.

Their practice is geared towards women who want to freeze their eggs for the future and not for any immediate treatment, which is what i was doing. It had a smaller feel then an RMI and was less expensive (my insurance did not provide coverage). Everyone is super friendly and nice and wait times are really managable. However, you have to stay organized the whole time as things can fall through the cracks. This will happen at any of the egg retrieval or ivf clinice.

Dr. Maslow was realistic and optimistic at the same time. She explained the stats but was willing to go for it. She was concerned about my financial obligations and therefore took her recommendations seriously. She understood my wants and was excited to try... I saw [her] in person at all critical points...put me on a full stim course to try for IVF. I only produced 1 follicle so we moved to IUI because of COVID-19

Great small clinic [at Extend Fertility]! Short wait time, attentive and responsive staff. Billing explained well. I just wish there was better follow up after my cycle failed...The nursing staff is patient and kind. I wish I had had an assigned nurse for all questions...Low cost in comparison to other NY clinics!! $1700 for IUI. $11K for IVF. Affordable...All the Drs that I met were lovely

She was concerned about my financial obligations and therefore took her recommendations seriously. She understood my wants and was excited to try! We were derailed by COVID-19 and decided to do an IUI rather than a risky 1-2 follicle retrieval at that time. The only one disappointing this is that no one called me from the office after I called to say that the cycle failed.

I chose a female doctor [Dr. Bat-Sheva Maslow] because I think it’s more convenient. She is very nice and professional. The whole procedure went smoothly and I got a pretty good result. I didn’t feel anything miserable, the medication was efficient, I only injected 8 days to get it ready.... They expected to get 10-15 eggs, I got 13 mature eggs, which is pretty good. Although I expected 15.

This clinic [Extend Fertility] is the egg freezing industry leader. I’m happy I made a good choice. I did so much research to find it. I enjoyed the advanced technology and professional team. The whole procedure was pretty enjoyable.... Their monitoring hours is 7:00am-9:30am every day. Which is very convenient. The waiting time is very short.... My fertility advisor Kezia is great! She is very friendly and reachable.

Review of

Bat-Sheva Maslow Extend Fertility

Dr. Maslow cares about her patients and women's education around fertility. She is passionate about what she does and wants her patients to have positive outcomes. She communicates over the phone and over email.... We agreed to do 2 cycles of egg retrieval (I am 40) and we would determine if a third is necessary. After the 2nd, we agreed to a 3rd but she was confident that completing a 4th cycle was unnecessary.

Communication [Extend Fertility] was problematic and obtaining records was an issue. The steps of the process were not made transparent. Ex. How long would the eggs be stored in the clinic and then shipped to the storage facility was not readily available. Had to request that details be made in writing. For example, they called you over the phone to tell you the number of eggs that were going to be frozen but did not offer a written confirmation of the record unless I requested.

How long would the eggs be stored in the clinic and then shipped to the storage facility was not readily available. Had to request that details be made in writing. For example, they called you over the phone to tell you the number of eggs that were going to be frozen but did not offer a written confirmation of the record unless I requested.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility.

Bat-Sheva Maslow Gold Coast IVF

Dr maslows strengths include compassion, knowledge and availability. As a patient I feel she was very thorough in her exam and had great communication. She took the tjme to answer all of mine and my husband's questions. She also gave us all of our options instead of simply IVF...She was very straight forward and compassionate about our chances of fertility...She also spent a great deal,of time explaining everything to us... There is also a class to take on giving yourself injections.

I had medical records faxed multiple times and the clinic [Gold Coast IVF] claimed they never revived my records- email works better!...Very clean and welcoming environment. Weakness in returning messages promptly....Get all prior medical records and bring them with you. I had issues faxing medical history and then not receiving or losing information...[nURSING sTAFF] Informative but not prompt in returning messages left... There is also a class to take on giving yourself injections.

Bat-Sheva Maslow Extend Fertility

Dr. Maslow was very nice and communicated everything well to me. I've only had one consultation with her so far but I have no complaints, everything went well. I look forward to having more appointments with her once I start the process...She took the time to explain the entire egg freezing process to me and also answered al the questions I had. I didn't feel rushed and felt like I had her undivided attention and felt very comfortable speaking to her....

The clinic [Extend Fertility] was quiet and spacious, taking into consideration social distancing. Everything was organized and I was in and out fairly quickly...The first appointment I had with the nurses was very quick and easy. just one quick blood draw...if the patient is looking for a female physician at this clinic. As the only female physician, I did have to wait a few extra weeks for an appointment....

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

Describe your experience with Extend Fertility.

The clinic was quiet and spacious, taking into consideration social distancing. Everything was organized and I was in and out fairly quickly. There was some construction as the clinic is expanding but the only signs of that were signs in the clinic space. Otherwise, I would have had no idea, there was no noise or disturbance that impeded the appointment

Review of

Bat-Sheva Maslow Extend Fertility

Dr. Maslow was candid and took the time to ask me my understanding and knowledge. She was very direct and sometimes a bit more understanding/soft and caring approach would have been helpful . For example, while discussing my progress mid-cycle and that I was slower than expected, the communication was very direct and matter-of-fact. I think I would’ve preferred some more validation of the challenges associated with the process.

The [Extend Fertility] clinic staff warmly welcomed me each morning I came. They (mostly) patiently answered questions I had in my afternoon phone calls...The care coordinator was organized, efficient, and very responsive and responsible whenever I contacted her...The clinic is efficient and mostly warm/caring staff. I wish they would’ve had primary nurse(s), so that I would know that a concern I discussed with someone one day, I could follow up on with the same nurse another day, rather than sharing all over again. If there’s a staff person who you are more comfortable with, request them!

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

Don’t hesitate to speak up and share questions or concerns and advocate for yourself. If you ask, she will take the time to answer. But you have to initiate/ask first.

The clinic staff warmly welcomed me each morning I came. They (mostly) patiently answered questions I had in my afternoon phone calls. When I requested to speak with Dr. Maslow, my request was received and arrangements made for us to speak, rather than brush aside my concerns.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Extend Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Avigayil)

The care coordinator was organized, efficient, and very responsive and responsible whenever I contacted her. I needed paperwork completed and different prescriptions and she took care of it all. I did not have a primary nurse(s), which would’ve been helpful. On the day I received my trigger call, a nurse I had never spoken with called with my instructions which were different than what a different nurse (who I had spoken with numerous times) told me. I was disappointed to hear from someone new (to me) on my last day. When I requested to speak with a nurse in the clinic and by phone, they were mostly very responsive, compassionate, and patient with my questions.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Extend Fertility.

I got my phone call with trigger instructions and they contradicted other information I had been told by a different nurse in the clinic earlier that same day. When I questioned the nurse on the phone, she tried to brush aside my comments/concerns. Later in the afternoon, the original nurse I had spoken with called me and I straightened everything out with her.

Bat-Sheva Maslow Extend Fertility

Dr. Maslow is very knowledgable and has alot of experience in the egg freezing process. She made me feel very secure, and like I am in good hands, when it came to the egg retrieval procedure. She had an amazing bedside manner, and was very caring and made sure I understood everything, and felt comfortable after the retrieval...

They were very knowledgable about the egg freezing procedure, and all the bells and whistles involved in it. The [Extend Fertility] nurses that take your blood test and ultrasound techs were phenomenal...The cost for one cycle of egg freezing was approx. $6,500, and then another approx. $3,000 to the pharmacy for medications...

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

I would advise to feel free to ask as many questions as you need, to get all of the information you desire to feel at ease with the procedure, because Dr. Maslow is very knowledgable and will definitely answer your questions.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bat-Sheva Maslow at Extend Fertility?

Dr. Maslow and all the staff really went above and beyond to be patient with me, to answer all of my questions, and so to say - to hold my hand through the whole process.

Describe the protocols Bat-Sheva Maslow used in your cycles at Extend Fertility and their degree of success.

She monitored my blood tests and ultrasound results during the egg freezing cycle, to see my estrogen levels and the development of the follicles in my ovaries. Based on this information, she adjusted the amount of medications I need prior to the egg retrieval, in order to achieve the best result - which I believe is a good result (20 mature eggs frozen).

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Extend Fertility.

The nursing staff was absolutely amazing - and I mean that. They were very knowledgable about the egg freezing procedure, and all the bells and whistles involved in it. The nurses that take your blood test and ultrasound techs were phenomenal!! (there are alot of blood tests involved in this procedure). The egg retrieval nurse made me feel at ease and answered all of my questions. Just wonderful staff!!

Describe your experience with Extend Fertility.

I think this clinic is a well oiled machine when it comes to egg freezing, and probably other fertility procedures as well. Not only is everyone super experienced and knows exactly what they are doing, but every single person was so compassionate and patient with me, and accommodated my sometimes changing schedule. This is the type of clinic where you feel fully confident entrusting the staff and doctors with your fertility and medical care. Highly recommend - and really no complaints!

Dr. Maslow explained the process and procedure clearly and answered my questions. She treated me with respect and delineated expectations based on my lab work and ultrasound results. Her work with me yielded good results and I had a good experience in her care overall. Although I was not awake during the egg retrieval, I felt that I was in good hands.

The clinic made the process as financially feasible as possible. Extend partners with fertility organizations and pharmacies to help patients receive a discount on expensive medications and the procedure itself. The staff were always friendly and welcoming, and treated me with respect...The staff were friendly and answered all of my questions. Their instructions were always clear.
