I think he [Dr. Kenigsberg] really cares about his patients. I’m in constant communication with him via email and he always always answers my questions. He tells me what he thinks is beneficial for me and my husband. I haven’t gotten pregnant yet but I have faith in my dr...we started off with blood tests for our hormones sono, genetic testing, we decided to do three months of clomid and trying naturally. Then we did clomid and IUI. Now we are on round two of IUI with letrozole. If this fails one more IUI then IVF. We have unexplained infertility fertility
There was a lot of miscommunication between the nurses and the dr [at Long Island IVF] of what was happening for me one month. But i think it was more of the nurse assuming and not checking with him...The cost was average for our state. The billing department is not organized and difficult to deal with...I feel like some of the front desk staff weren’t helpful when we were having an issue with the genetic testing. I had to get my husband to call and all of a sudden it went from “im sorry we can’t help you with this” to “ok ok let me look into this for you.” When he called. Which is super frustrating that woman are treating other woman like that.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Nursing staff is pretty good. There are great staff members and not so great staff members. Billing is pretty bad. A lot of miscommunication between billing and the nursing staff and what’s going on with a patient
Describe your experience with Long Island IVF.
Frankly, billing there has been very challenging to deal with and that’s every month. I feel like some of the front desk staff weren’t helpful when we were having an issue with the genetic testing. I had to get my husband to call and all of a sudden it went from “im sorry we can’t help you with this” to “ok ok let me look into this for you.” When he called. Which is super frustrating that woman are treating other woman like that.

He’s very down to earth and personable. He uses conversational language.
Describe the protocols Daniel Kenigsberg used in your cycles at Long Island IVF and their degree of success.
He was my second RE and we started with an HSG test to make sure all was clear. From there he prescribed every other day intercourse during my fertile window and felt confident in the rate of increased fertility after the HSG test. From there we proceeded to do an additional set of IUI’s with clomid only because I needed to switch health insurance to get IVF coverage and it was 6 months away. He did recommend IVF after the 3 months following the HSG.

Describe Daniel Kenigsberg's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Long Island IVF.
We haven’t got to the point of transfer yet but he recommended one embryo as a standard but would work with us if we wanted to do two. Again, this was a discussion before the retrieval.

he [Dr. Daniel Keningsberg] was very matter-of-fact in explaining my failed results and lacked empathy in his recommendation on how we should proceed...does not come across as warm and compassionate at the initial consultation. If this is your only interaction with him, you will miss out on his openness and availability...was open to address our specific concerns and make accommodations. He made himself available to answer our questions when requested and made it clear he would always get back to us if we had any more questions or concerns
I was assigned a nurse [at Long Island IVF], but I never met her. I only had a couple calls with her in the beginning to get all the paperwork and my schedule set. The nurses I met and interacted with at the Stonybrook and Patchogue locations were all friendly. Diane and Jessica were standouts, both very nice and compassionate. Sharon the PA was amazing! She was very helpful, compassionate and explained everything completely.

Dr. Kenigsberg does not come across as warm and compassionate at the initial consultation. If this is your only interaction with him, you will miss out on his openness and availability. Dr. Kenigsberg was open to address our specific concerns and make accommodations. He made himself available to answer our questions when requested and made it clear he would always get back to us if we had any more questions or concerns. However, he was very matter-of-fact in explaining my failed results and lacked empathy in his recommendation on how we should proceed.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Kenigsberg at Long Island IVF?
Request his email. He will get back to you.

Describe your experience with Long Island IVF.
Strengths: Most of the offices are small because they have 6 locations. I believe this minimizes the patient numbers per office. Never had a long wait time for appointments or monitoring. The staff was always friendly and helpful.
Weaknesses: Didn't see my doctor after initial consultation.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Long Island IVF.
Please see previous comments.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Daniel Kenigsberg at Long Island IVF.
Set price for Freeze-All IVF w/ PGS testing: $17K+, + Anesthesia $600 (Paid to outside practice), + Medication costs. Was refunded some since never made it to PGS testing or transfer.
What specific things went wrong at Long Island IVF?
- Failed to call with results
- Provided conflicting information
- Failed to convey critical information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Long Island IVF.
A couple of blips in the process-
They did't call me after the 1st day of monitoring to let me know if I start Meds. I called them before the office closed and they got me the answer. The nurse said she must have called and left a voicemail at the wrong number.
The ultrasound tech didn't show one day for monitoring. I had to go to a different office location (luckily the other office was only ~15 minutes away.)

My consults [with Dr. Daniel Kenigsberg] were personalized for me. On an individual level. Very informative...from the very first consult was specific with his plan of care. Extremely intelligent and knowledgable with my diagnosis (PCOS). As well as explained in complete detail of my plan of care...He is extremely intelligent with a direct yet warm presence...After each attempt a sonogram and lab work was completed. Rationale for this is to see if there are positive results of pregnancy
In my case. I felt counseling and extra support was needed. Once determined that I couldn't afford IVF [at Long Island IVF]...Everyone at the facility was warm, caring, gentle and understanding...The nursing staff were excellent!!!! Then continued to educate, support and give me hope. Their dispositions were all very caring as well as informative...Approx $4000 out of pocket for just lab work, medications and Hysterosalpingogram test...

My consults were personalized for me. On an individual level. Very informative. Everyone at the facility was warm, caring, gentle and understanding.
Describe the protocols Daniel Kenigsberg used in your cycles at Long Island IVF and their degree of success.
Clomid (oral medications) was used by my GYN. On my very first visit. Dr. K reviewed my chart/ medical history. He prescribed Letrozole (Oral medication) X 2 separate visits with metformin. Explaining it helps to reduce blood sugar levels in woman with PCOS . After each attempt a sonogram and lab work was completed. Rationale for this is to see if there are positive results of pregnancy, hormone levels ect. Unfortunately for me my estrogen level was decreasing. So Dr. K Tested for mucus levels (important for ovulation). As well as and HSG test was preformed (procedure were dye is injected into the Fallopian tubes to determine any blockages). Early testing was completed and it was throughly explained that my diagnosis was determined as Anovulation. Dr. K in detail explained. I would then need injectable hormones to ovulate following egg freezing in order for hormones levels to reduce. The final step would be IVF. A re-insertion of the embryo in the uterus. Unfortunately for me it was unaffordable.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff were excellent!!!! Then continued to educate, support and give me hope. Their dispositions were all very caring as well as informative.

In my case. I felt counseling and extra support was needed. Once determined that I couldn't afford IVF. I felt all alone and extremely emotional for months following. Especially when friends and family continued to share future pregnancies

I loved Dr Kennigsberg. When I met him, I knew immediately that he was the one that would be able to get me pregnant. I had two prior not so great experiences with other doctors and was losing faith. All restored when meeting him...i was started out on birth control so they could "control" my ovulation. I don't recall the names of the 2 injectables that I used. I believe I injected for 10-14 days. There was an hcg shot and 2 progesterone injects. 12 hours after my hcg I had my eggs retrieved. I was getting bloodwork and ultrasounds during this process. I had a 5 day transfer and was using progesterone vaginal suppositories until my 9th week of pregnancy .
