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. Goldschlag is smart and reasonable, and unlike many (most??) of the other doctors at Cornell, he is extremely patient and compassionate. Not arrogant or rushed at all...He is often running late for consults. This is because he takes the appropriate amount of time with each patient (despite their scheduling protocol). It's worth it. Block out the time in your day.
Jamie, Dr. Goldschlag's nurse, is awesome. Over 3 years I developed quite the rapport with her...[Cornell is a] factory. Things do slip through the cracks—you have to be very on top of it all and advocate for yourself right from the start. Some staff are lovely, others incompetent and/or rude. Some doctors arrogant/have god complex, and you will see them all at some point if you're there for any length of time. One 2014-2015 fellow, dr. Levine, was unbelievably insensitive and clueless. All worth it. Great success rates and generally very very professional. See Dr. Goldschlag.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Weill Cornell Medical College. (Assigned nurse: Justine. Almost never talked to her. )
Jamie, Dr. Goldschlag's nurse, is awesome. Over 3 years I developed quite the rapport with her. She's so nice and helpful and knowledgable, although can be rushed. That's just the nature of how they run things there. Worth it to deal with.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Oy. Years worth of cycles and treatments....it wasn't perfect. Lots of little mistakes here and there, mostly due to the fact that the doctors seeing you don't know your chart or your own doctors approach or thoughts, but want to prognosticate anyway.
He [Dr. Goldschlag] is very monotone and not that warmest doctor but I am very happy with him overall. Know his time is limited as he has many patients so you will see him only briefly.
[The nurse at Weill Cornell] came to my apartment for the trigger shot as my husband was nervous too do it. Know his [Dr. Goldschlag] time is limited as he has many patients so you will see him only briefly.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Weill Cornell Medical College.
She was very accessible. She came to my apartment for the trigger shot as my husband was nervous too do it.
He [Dr. Goldschlag] was great. Really liked his personality and bedside manner. He was very personal and thoughtful. Unfortunately, my only criticism is that he is working within a very specific system [at Cornell Weill Fertility] and can't really experiment as much as we would have needed. In general, I really liked him though.
If you have any issues, or need them [the doctors at Weill Cornell fertility] to think outside the box, this is not the place to go. In general however, if you simply want to try traditional IVF, Cornell is fine and I really liked him as a person...To see your doc, you actually have to make an appointment. This causes all the other docs to not have any clue about your case, which is why I believe they follow the regimented way they do things so strictly.

Ask him questions! He will answer them.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Dan Goldschlag at Weill Cornell Medical College?
Cornell does things one particular way, and they all adhere to the same formula. While we liked Dr. Goldshlag, it was very rare that we'd actually see him when we went in for bloodwork and monitoring. The way Cornell works, you see whatever doctor is on the floor that day. To see your doc, you actually have to make an appointment. This causes all the other docs to not have any clue about your case, which is why I believe they follow the regimented way they do things so strictly.
