She [Dr. Sites] explains everything clearly, answers any and all questions, and has a very kind and calm demeanor which is appreciated during what can be a stressful process. I’ve never felt rushed during any of my appointments with her, and she shows real concern for the comfort of myself and I’m sure other patients.... I am using clomid and a trigger to provide some control over timing as my cycles aren’t totally regular. And I am using IUI because based on age and tests there is no reason to suspect any fertility issues at this point. My first attempt was not successful, and I am in the midst of a second attempt, currently taking clomid.

[Dr. Sites was] Very nice, straight forward, and answered questions. Not the most personable doctor you will meet. Sometimes felt like I had to ask more questions to get all the information I wanted rather than her explaining everything...was on top of my condition which requires surgery before egg retrieval and one before the frozen transfer to optimize success...I agree with her that single embryo transfer is the way to go unlessnover the age of 35.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Cynthia K. Sites at Baystate Reproductive Medicine?
Ask questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Cynthia K. Sites at Baystate Reproductive Medicine?
Everyone was kind and compassionate but it’s a large practice and They don’t take the time to really get to know you as a person. It wouldn’t prevent me continued treatment. I don’t feel like they would remember me 100% if I went back to visit with my baby.
Describe the protocols Cynthia K. Sites used in your cycles at Baystate Reproductive Medicine and their degree of success.
I can’t remember. The protocol before the egg retrieval. Dr Sites was on top of my condition which requires surgery before egg retrieval and one before the frozen transfer to optimize success.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They were wonderful and compassionate. They truly seemed excited when I got my positive results. I will have to say they have the best ultrasound tech who made me feel the most comfortable in a scary situation and found a condition that could have led to a failed transfer if it had gone undetected.
Describe your experience with Baystate Reproductive Medicine.
They are a Large clinic which makes it not as personable of an experience.

Describe Cynthia K. Sites's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Baystate Reproductive Medicine.
I agree with her that single embryo transfer is the way to go unlessnover the age of 35. If you are over that age you have the option for a multiple embryo transfer. She will also base it on your history. It is great that she is open minded for others based on age and history.
