Bat-Sheva Maslow

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.

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

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.

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

I had a short agonist protocol which was closely monitored and had frequent dose adaptions 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. On my request the MIs were also frozen.

Very well organized, quick and efficient. Staff is well trained and very kind and respectful.

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

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.

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.

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

I haven’t had ultrasound monitoring performed yet, but I do know that it is a general window.

There is a $6000 cycle fee, plus the cost of medications and long-term storage.

This does not apply to me. I am seeing Dr. Maslow for egg freezing.

When you go to Extend Fertility, it feels more like you are a patient of the clinic then any patient of a specific doctor. I only met her 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 was a well run machine. Sometimes it took 15 min and other times it was 30

$6500 for retrieval, $2000 for 5 years of freezing and approx $2000 in hormones

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! 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.

She’s wonderful!

Dr. Maslow 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. We would have tried a retrieval if things weren’t so uncertain.

Low cost in comparison to other NY clinics!! $1700 for IUI. $11K for IVF. Affordable!

Very pleasant and clearly explained the process and my fertility projections. The clinic was very attentive and accommodating. I felt like my concerns were addressed and the supporting materials I was provided were very helpful.

I would note that given the timing of your cycle you will be examined by other doctors within the practice, as well as the actual retrieval.

Given my AMH levels Doctor Maslow tailored my fertility drugs to fit my needs.

$5,500 for the procedure, $2,000 for the drugs and $2,400 for a 5 year storage plan

I chose a female doctor 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.

Don’t fear of anything, I feel the procedure just like a regular period.

They give me the dose is medium. Follistim 225 unites and 2 vials of Menopur per day. I only injected 8 days to get it ready for retraival. They expected to get 10-15 eggs, I got 13 mature eggs, which is pretty good. Although I expected 15.

Their monitoring hours is 7:00am-9:30am every day. Which is very convenient. The waiting time is very short.

First cycle 6500, one year storage 600, medication 3000.

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.

Have a baseline knowledge of fertility. Do your own research and be prepared to ask specific questions

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.

5000 a cycle for egg retrieval. Meds were covered under my insurance

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.

Get all prior medical records and bring them with you. I had issues faxing medical history and then not receiving or losing information.

Day 3 of cycle is blood test and ultrasound. Next birth control is started, then luparon injections then stimulation injections. Then retrieval of egg, fertilizing the eggs, maturing the eggs for 3-5 days and then placing them back into my uterus. Monitoring required for dosing changes. There is also a class to take on giving yourself injections.

Approximately 17,000$

Dr recommended one egg transfer based on our age - 33

experience went very well. 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

I think to just be patient 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.

I have not started treatment yet.

just over $10000

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.

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.

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).

The cost for one cycle of egg freezing was approx. $6,500, and then another approx. $3,000 to the pharmacy for medications.

I had a great experience. I look forward to resuming our partnership when I contact you in the future. I felt at ease and supported, no matter what question I asked. I was so happy with the number of eggs retrieved. Thank you Dr. Maslow.

Have your questions ready.

I had one cycle. I remember the drugs I used for oocyte cryopreservation were 1 Gonal-F RFF 300 IU for ten days, 2 vials of Menopur 150 IU for ten days, 1 box of Cetrotide 0.25 mg 0.25 mg for four days, 3 tablets of Letrozole 2.5 mg for ten days, and 1 Lupron Trigger 80 units once. I received Follicular Ultrasounds, Progesterone, E2 tests five times and, LH testing once.

I had convenient scheduled appointments.

My costs were covered by my health insurance and grants. I had a one cycle of treatment and a 10 year storage plan. Some of the prescriptions had a copay. Linda Chen was great helping me understand the billing process of egg storage.
