He's very knowledgeable and I can tell he [Dr Dan Goldschlag] knows his stuff. As he is also on a times website of affiliated doctors. However yea I do just feel like a number overtime and I don't really leave the office always understanding my case of pcos. He always says things look good and it's sorta fake sounding and illogical like I'm ttc for over a yr and half and I can multiple cysts on ovaries so how does everything "look good". Wish he'd elaborate more
There are about 50 + patients in the waiting room whenever I come [to Cornell Center for Reproductive Medicine] . And I'm only seen by the Dr minimally for the ultrasound and see him for less then 3 mins before and after combined

Dr. G [Goldschlag] is a good physician. ... Follistim, Menopur, Ganirelix, estrogen priming. I'm over 40 so the doses were high. ... I have only had good experiences so far. ... I transferred 4 embryos, which is shocking for most people ... It doesn't matter who you see at Cornell, the place is busy and you won't have a ton of time with the physicians. ... While there is an insane number of patients at this clinic [Weill Cornell] and most of the NYC metro area ones, I felt like anything that concerned me was taken care of.
Cornell is great if you work full time. The monitoring hours are great and they are fully staffed with physicians rotating so you can get treated constantly, which is lacking at many other clinics. ... This clinic is too lenient with monitoring and it's a disaster with that many patients. ... The main weakness is they have out grown the UES location already. The waiting room is too crowded and loud so it is difficult to hear when they are calling you.
How was your experience with Dan Goldschlag at Weill Cornell Medical College?
Dr. G is a good physician. Weill Cornell is another story. I work as a complementary healthcare practitioner, treating a lot of fertility patients, so I have seen firsthand how bad some physicians are. I have only had good experiences so far.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Dan Goldschlag at Weill Cornell Medical College?
It doesn't matter who you see at Cornell, the place is busy and you won't have a ton of time with the physicians. If you want to spend an hour talking about your health concerns, your diet, supplements, etc, I advise you to find an acupuncturist.

Describe the protocols Dan Goldschlag used in your cycles at Weill Cornell Medical College and their degree of success.
Follistim, Menopur, Ganirelix, estrogen priming. I'm over 40 so the doses were high. I got pregnant but miscarried.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Weill Cornell Medical College.
The nurses were OK. I wish Cornell would join this century and use electronic communications instead of calling to give me instructions.
Describe your experience with Weill Cornell Medical College.
Cornell is great if you work full time. The monitoring hours are great and they are fully staffed with physicians rotating so you can get treated constantly, which is lacking at many other clinics. The main weakness is they have out grown the UES location already. The waiting room is too crowded and loud so it is difficult to hear when they are calling you. The clinic also lacks that human touch.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Weill Cornell Medical College.
This clinic is too lenient with monitoring and it's a disaster with that many patients. I would stop walk in since everyone waits for the last possible moment and start using appointments (or the illusion of appointments). Monitoring is empty til 7:30 then gets overcrowded.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Dan Goldschlag at Weill Cornell Medical College.
My insurance covers infertility 100%, even IVF so my out of pocket was my deductible.
Describe Dan Goldschlag's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Weill Cornell Medical College.
I transferred 4 embryos, which is shocking for most people. Physicians are not required to take calculus or any real math classes to get into med school or during med school. I did take advanced calc, probability and statistics. I calculated out the odds assuming each individual egg has a 15% chance of getting pregnant and even with 4 eggs, the odds are still under 50%. If you are over 40, don't waste time thinking you are going to have multiples cause statistically that's not going to happen.
