David Reichman

Dr. Reichman was always on time, always clear and concise, and always took the time to answer my questions. He could reference my journey and personal history in any appointment and stayed consistent in his dedication to helping me move forward with clear and direct information. I felt 100% taken care of and like I was in dedicated, able hands -- even in the huge somewhat vapid environment of Weill Cornell. I felt like Dr. Reichman celebrated our successes and did everything in his power to fight along with us to help us create our family. With setbacks, like discovering Asherman's Syndrome, he changed course on treatment and devised a new plan -- giving us the confidence we needed to keep going.

Fertility doctors are always rushed and clinics are always bustling with a wildly large amount of women trying to build their families. But that doesn't mean that there isn't time for you -- Dr. Reichman will answer the questions that you have in the room or over email/phone. Advocate for yourself, ask the questions you have. Know that he works at Weill Cornell and is therefore clinical and data-driven-- he's not going to recommend supplements, acupuncture, etc. Ask him for his perspective and he will give it to you! Also, try to make appointments in Tribeca when you can versus UES. It's a smaller, quieter, less-Handmaids feel ;)

I first went to Dr. R in hope of a second opinion after a failed retrieval at another clinic. In testing during that second opinion, Dr. Reichman discovered that I had 70% scarring in my uterus (likely from trauma in labor and recent D&Cs) -- the embryo we had tried to implant at my last clinic would have never implanted with the Asherman's diagnoses. With that realization, we ultimately did a retrieval and then surgery to remove my scarring. All of that went smoothly and I was able to get better results than in retrievals past. We ultimately had 13 eggs, 12 were mature, 9 fertilized, and 6 made it to day 5 frozen. We did PGS testing because of reoccurring loss -- 1 was aneuploid but 5 were euploid. 2 of those 5 are mosaic. We transferred one embryo in March with success (so far). I am about to graduate to my OB.

I am only of the few and very lucky/grateful that have insurance coverage. Everything was covered except HCG because I needed a certain variety that wasn't.

For me, at least, with my history of loss and also traumatic labor, it would be dangerous to have more than one pregnancy. So there was a clear direction of only transferring one embryo and I very much agree.

Before going to Dr. Reichman, we had been through 6 unsuccessful rounds of IUI and had effectively been discouraged and turned down by one of the other major NYC institutions for IVF. Despite Weill Cornell not being in-network, my husband and I decided to go to Dr. Reichman given his excellent reviews, candor, and encouragement. We were definitely in a very tough place mentally and feeling hopeless and Dr. Reichman gave us hope that we could one day get pregnant. In fact, when we were first starting with him and had been turned down from the other institution, he called us in the evening from home to explain to us that there was still hope and that he thought he would be able to help us; I can’t even express how much this meant to my husband and I. He explained his approach and protocol to us and was very honest regarding our chances (not guaranteeing success, but providing cautious optimism). Given my Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), we ended up doing 3 back-to-back cycles with him and banked embryos since we wanted to have multiple kids. Dr. Reichman helped us every step of the way to devise this strategy that worked best for our needs. Ultimately, we had an excellent experience with him and couldn’t be more thankful to him for helping us through the IVF journey. We not only had a successful pregnancy that led to the birth of our daughter, but we were also able to bank a couple of embryos that we can use for later if / when we choose to have another kid. Our trust in him and our belief that we were working with one of the best doctors in the country gave us such piece of mind throughout the process and made it substantially easier.

One piece of advice is to listen to him and take his advice. He is not only an excellent doctor, but he has your interests in mind. You feel like you have someone in your corner. He’s not out to “maximize business” but more tells you like it is and gives you advice based on what he thinks is best.

Dr. Reichman tailored my protocols based on what he thought would be most successful and why. Estrogen Patch for a few days leading up to cycle start 225 Gonal F 75 Menopur Cerotide for the back half of the cycle. This led to longer cycles for me as it led to more consistent follicle sizes and synchronized growth

Well oiled machine

Weill Cornell was out of network for us. Our coverage paid for 70% of the costs of the cycle which excluded Genetic Testing and ICSI. Our coverage however did cover the medication 100%.

Dr. Reichman recommended a single embryo transfer given the quality of the embryo. Double embryo transfer was never off the table though and he said could be a strategy for us based on his assessment of the embryo. We went with whatever he recommended.

After a terrible experience with another doctor at a different clinic, I went to Dr. Reichman based on all of the great reviews. He exceeded my expectations and I only wish that I had found him sooner in my journey. I appreciated his balance of compassion and honesty. He was caring and empathetic when things went wrong, and candid and honest about concerns and potential risks. He always gave opinions and recommendations based on my specific medical situation and explained why, which made me feel like I understood each part of the treatment plan. He remained hopeful when I did not, and it felt like he was just as invested as we were in our journey. He responded quickly to emails and personally called to deliver both bad news and good news. He’s a rare doctor to find especially in a city like NYC and we are so grateful to have him as our RE.

Trust Dr. Reichman and his treatment plan and ask questions when you don’t understand something.

We did multiple egg retrieval cycles in order to bank normal embryos. Due to previous miscarriages Dr. Reichman felt (and we agreed) that it was important to test our embryos. I also had multiple hysteroscopies due to lining issues, and he successfully removed scar tissue during these procedures.

For my fresh transfer, Dr. Reichman recommended two untested Day 5 embryos. For my frozen transfers, he recommended single embryo transfer since these were tested embryos.

I cannot say enough positive things about him. Dr. Reichman always made me feel that I knew exactly what was going on and what the plan was. His office tried to schedule me for appointments when he was in the office. The one time I emailed him he got back to me right away. I always felt that he knew me and my history each time I walked in. It was very reassuring.

Trust him

I had gone though three medicated failed cycles at a different practice. With Dr. Reichman I had one "good" embryo after my first retrieval and we did a more natural protocol with alot more monitoring. It worked

Insurance covered my treatment

I only had one embryo so this is not applicable to me

I started seeing Dr. Reichman mid-pandemic, so had to do the first few appointments via telehealth appointments. He was very clear and helpful and directed me to get some of the tests done where I was staying (out of state) so that we could work to get treatment started as quickly as possible when I returned. This also allowed me to compare the treatment from Dr. Reichman to the clinic I was getting these tests done and I can say it was night and day. Dr. Reichman was extremely thorough and thoughtful with his review of my history and tests and made me feel comfortable immediately. As someone who likes to have as much information as possible, I really appreciated how clearly Dr. Reichman laid out my options at each stage of my treatment. Once I received a positive pregnancy test, he was still extremely available and helpful, which helped a lot getting through the first trimester.

Feel free to ask as many questions as you want.

My FSH levels were lower than normal, but my follicle count was normal, so the results were contradictory. Dr. Reichman explained this and laid out my options of moving forward with TTC or freezing embryos for the future. I decided to freeze embryos before moving forward with additional treatments. The egg retrieval and embryo freezing was successful after one round, so we decided to move forward with TTC. I had irregular menstrual cycles, so the options that Dr. Reichman suggested were either oral medication with a trigger shot and timed intercourse or IVF. After we reviewed the options together we decided to try the oral medication for a few months before moving onto IVF with the idea of hoping to save the embryos for future pregnancies as I get older. We did two rounds of Letrozole with monitoring and a trigger shot. After the second round, I received a positive pregnancy test.

Most of my treatment was covered in part by insurance, so I felt that the costs were what I expected.

n/a

Dr. Reichman is an an incredible doctor. His skill, honesty, compassion, and continued dedication make him truly unique and I am so grateful to be his patient. I had an amh of .04 and was told by many doctors that it would be nearly impossible for me to become pregnant. I am now 14 weeks pregnant because of Dr. Reichman. He never gave up on me and used every tool in his toolbox to help us. He continued to change course if things didn’t work. I was not a good ivf candidate given my low egg reserve. Dr. Reichman changed course and we did injections and timed intercourse, which finally worked for us. He also regulated my hormones through the estrogen patch. When I finally got pregnant, he was very cautious and continued me on the estrogen patch and progesterone suppositories.

Trust him and ask questions.

We did ivf to freeze embryos. We made one embryo, which we froze on day one given my low egg reserve. We learned that I was not a good ivf candidate so we moved to trying naturally for a few months. When that didn’t work, Dr. Reichman worked to regulate my hormones and then we did injections and timed intercourse, which led to a successful pregnancy. He had me on an estrogen patch and progesterone suppositories after ovulation and I remained on those for about 12 weeks.

Dr. Reichman was very professional, compassionate, understanding and patient. This was my first experience with IUI/IVF so my husband and I naturally had a lot of questions and Dr. Reichman always took the time to listen and walk us through the process. I always found him to be approachable and easy to talk to. When selecting a doctor, it was also a priority for me to choose someone who would be involved throughout my entire treatment process and that's exactly what Dr. Reichman did. I saw him for every office visit and was lucky enough to have him scheduled on the day of my egg retrieval. I have close friends and family who have gone to other fertility clinics and they only ever had one or two face-to-face meeting with their doctor throughout their entire fertility treatments so I feel very fortunate for the doctor-patient relationship my husband and I were able to have with Dr. Reichman. Very happy with our decision!

Be thorough when reviewing your billing questions with the office. I know in hindsight the questions I should have asked early on which would have made me more prepared for the overall costs associated with our treatment.

I luckily live close to the Tribeca office so I would always go in for monitoring first thing in the morning which meant I never had to wait very long. Even when I had to go to the Upper East Side office for monitoring on the weekends, I wouldn't have to wait very long. There was an efficient process in place so I never felt anxious about losing my place or being forgotten.

RGI/Genetic Screening $4,000.00 Medications $2,498.30 IVF + Cryopreservation $11,525.00 ICSI $3,000.00 Anesthesia $640.00 Embryo Biopsy $2,500.00 Saline Infusion Sonogram $1,753.26 Hospital Facility Fee (Egg Retrieval) $1,005.84 Genetic Diagnosis $2,500.00 Chromosomal Testing $2,200.00 Cancelled FET Cycle $2,308.05 FET Cycle $5,493.00

Dr. Reichman was extremely personable and professional throughout the entire process. I felt comfortable with him, and trusted his advice. I would go in for apts quite often for appointments and during covid it was often a bit nerve wracking, however he made me feel extremely comfortable the entire time. He was always very thorough and explained everything we were doing and all of the precautions.

Dr. Reichman is amazing. He is quick, and straight to the point but always puts you first as the patient.

I started off with just a trigger shot to boost ovulation and I stopped exercising a bit. We then started with clomid IUI (3 times) + trigger shot and the third time I got pregnant!

I began seeing Dr. Reichman after six months at another fertility clinic. After six months, the other clinic had told me that I did not have a chance to get pregnant without IVF, though offered no explanation as to why they'd come to this conclusion. Uncomfortable with the lack of information, I sought a second opinion from Dr. Reichman. Immediately Dr. Reichman provided clear feedback and a detailed explanation as to why he believed my prior treatments had not worked, and guidance on how he would adjust treatment to achieve a successful pregnancy. While he made no promises his suggestions would work overnight, he said that if we were willing to try with him for a couple of months, he felt we'd be able to get pregnant without having to go through IVF (i.e. using a combination of Letrozole and injectable medications). He provided incredibly clear explanations and answered all of my questions thoughtfully. Listening to his approach and feeling 100% confident with his recommendations, I switched to his care mid-cycle from the prior clinic. We ended up getting pregnant the first full cycle under his care! All the tweaks to medicines worked exactly as he'd outlined, and he essentially predicted exactly how my body would react every step of the way! It was a pleasure being Dr. Reichman's patient and I would highly recommend him to anyone embarking on fertility treatments, or anyone who is seeing a doctor who they don't trust fully and completely.

If you ever have questions on your treatment plan, ask him! He will provide thoughtful responses to all questions (i.e. why increasing or decreasing dosages, starting on different dates, etc.) - it's so helpful to understand the rationale behind treatment decisions.

Letrozole - 7.5 mg days 3-7 Menopur - 150 days 10 - 12

The overwhelming majority of my treatment was covered by insurance. I paid co-pays for my visits, and my medications were covered (had to pay ~$50/cycle for injectable medications)

From the beginning, I trusted Dr Reichman completely. He was very straightforward and I could tell that he knew what he was doing. Whenever I came to him with questions or suggestions from research I had done (Dr Google!) he always considered them carefully and responded with research-backed information. I always felt like he truly cared about me and he was always extremely professional while still being kind and personable. I never dreaded appointments with him and always felt confident in his skills.

Don't be afraid to ask him questions during your appointments or to email him if you have further questions/concerns.

I started with 2 timed intercourse cycles using Letrozole to get 1 or 2 more follicles but no success. Then we did 2 IUI cycles also using Letrozole and no success. Due to low AMH, we moved on to IVF. I had 3 egg retrievals and for 2 of them I did estrogen priming, followed by Gonal F and menopur (+ganirelix). These cycles produced 11 and 5 eggs. For one cycle I did estrogen priming and then included microdose lupron with Gonal F and menopur. This cycle produced 9 eggs.

Monitoring appointments were generally pretty seamless and efficient. At times there were delays and I needed to wait a bit to be seen but it was mostly on time. Especially with new protocols due to COVID these appointments were super easy.

I was lucky enough to have complete fertility coverage from my insurance so I had to pay very little. I think the only thing that wasn't covered was genetic screening before we started treatment.

Dr Reichman prefers eSET and always told me about the risks of multiples and due to my age he highly recommended eSET.

I only have good things to say about Dr. Reichman and my experience at Weill Cornell. My husband and I were able to take advantage of the newest technologies in fertility treatment, namely, ICSI with TUNEL to cut down on sperm DNA fragmentation. We started one cycle, but I got very ill in the middle of it and did not have as many follicles as we had hoped, so in the interest of saving money, we stopped and tried again the next cycle. This one was very successful, and we retrieved 13 eggs. We did ICSI and PGS. In the end, we got three "perfect" embryos. After transfer of the first one, I am extremely happy to say that I am 8 weeks pregnant!

Take a long-term approach and realize that it make take a long time to get the result you want (this is for anyone starting IVF). It took us about a year to get pregnant.

My husband and I had a few miscarriages naturally before starting IVF. He is 13 years older than me, and I was 37 when we started IVF. Due to our age, we decided to do PGS so I did not have to suffer more miscarriages. In addition, Dr. Reichman recommended that we do TUNEL to only select the best sperm for ICSI. It worked very well and we got 3 genetically normal embryos from one cycle.

the Tribeca office was fantastic and got us in and out as quickly and effectively as possible. I never had to wait longer than a half hour.

$38,800 - for 1.5 cycles, PGS, ICSI, TUNEL, retrieval of 13 eggs, surgery for uterine scar tissue removal, fertilization, and single FET.

If you go PGS, Dr. Reichman will recommend only doing one embryo transfer, because the risk of multiples is too high if you do more than that. I think almost all doctors take this approach with PGS though.

Dr. Reichman is a dedicated, engaged and determined fertility doctor. He made it clear from day one that ours would be an uphill battle and that he would be with us every step of the way. He outlined our challenges, was very candid about success rates, and asked thoughtful questions to guide us toward an action plan. Each visit from that point forward involved conversations about our progress as well as strategizing our next steps. Dr. Reichman's feedback and intuition helped us to make difficult decisions about the genetic testing of embryos, fresh versus frozen transfers, and whether to commit to additional cycles to increases our odds. Dr. Reichman's professionalism is unparalleled. He is quick to address inquiries via email and he makes sure his nurses have everything they need to fully support patients. Thankfully, while skilled, experienced and confident, he is never arrogant or smug, and he doesn't hesitate to consult colleagues for additional opinions. For example, my sonogram once revealed something that caused Dr. Reichman to question the need for a medical procedure that would have delayed our cycle (but if necessary, we wouldn't have hesitated to do). After reviewing past cases and seeking counsel from a trusted colleague, he decided to forego the procedure and proceed as planned. We greatly appreciated the time he took to truly consider all the factors and arrive at a decision we all trusted as the right one. Through it all, Dr. Reichman was honest, pensive, warm, empathetic and supportive. And he even managed to infuse a bit of humor into things at just the right moments. IVF is an emotionally and physically trying process. Being in Dr. Reichman's care made the difficult times more bearable and the good times even sweeter. We are currently pregnant and are forever grateful to Dr. Reichman and his stellar team for their strong work and endless support.

Honesty is the name of Dr. Reichman's game. He does not sugar coat or provide false hope. Be prepared for candor, and know that it is in the name of earning your trust. He deeply cares and he is committed to helping you achieve your dream of becoming a parent.

We did three rounds of IVF. Admittedly, the details are a bit foggy, but each round involved injections of Gonal-G, menopur and cetrotide. Our doses changed according to the results of my bloodwork and the number and size of developing follicles revealed in sonograms. I distinctly remember delaying the start of a cycle based on a sonogram following my most recent period. Dr. Reichman didn't feel the timing was right and chose to push to the next month, which ended up being a much better month follicle-wise. Each round is a learning experience and our results improved every cycle. Our first frozen embryo transfer did not take. For our second transfer, Dr. Reichman decided to do a "programmed transfer" where we would manipulate my hormones. While my progesterone levels had historically been fine, he chose to prescribe nightly progesterone shots five days before the transfer, 10 days following the transfer (until the results of the pregnancy test), and since we are pregnant, through the first trimester. This was done as a precautionary measure to support the lining of the uterus (until the placenta takes over and produces its own hormones). Additionally, I have worn estrogen patches throughout this time since my estrogen has been consistently low. As my estrogen has increased, the number of patches has decreased in the last week.

The Weill Cornell Tribeca office is a an efficient, well-oiled machine. As a result, they are in demand and have a large clientele. Monitoring hours can get busy. They move through patients efficiently, but the earlier you go, the quicker you'll be done and out the door.

Our insurance does not cover IVF so we paid out-of-pocket. Each round, including all medications, totaled to approximately $25,000. Each frozen embryo transfer is around $4,500.

Since we were doing genetic testing and knew that we had genetically sound embryos prior to transferring, there was no incentive/logic to transferring multiple embryos. My understanding is that this is only done during a fresh transfer when embryos have not been genetically tested.

Dr. Reichman is the best doctor I have ever had. He got to know us very well, knew our case by heart and was very focused and invested. Our case was a bit of a mystery, but he never gave up and figured it out. He was very encouraging throughout the entire journey, even through the downs he was sure we will end up with healthy pregnancy. He is direct and says things as they are, which is also my style so it was greatly appreciated. He was very compassionate when we had a loss, but was also encouraging and helped us move forward quickly, discussing with us plan of attack on a Sunday night at his personal time. Dr. Reichman is pretty quick responder through email. In downtown, Dr. Reichman did my ultrasounds every time, he is almost never absent.

Follow Dr. Reichman’s advice even if you don’t like it (I was irritated when I had to stop exercising), and fully trust him - he will figure it out!

Due to my diminished ovarian reserve and unsuccessful IUI at another clinic, we went straight to IVF. We did 2 back to back retrievals to make sure we have enough embryos, always using ICSI and microfluidics. 1st retrieval - 4 eggs, 3 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 made it to Day 5 and came back PGD normal. 2nd retrieval - 5 eggs, 5 mature, 5 fertilized, 4 made it do Day 5 and PGD normal. Then we did 3 back to back single embryo transfers. 1st natural FET - negative, 2nd natural FET - chemical, 3rd programmed FET - chemical. Dr. Reichman was surprised we didn’t have successful pregnancy yet, so he completely switched the approach. We did another IVF (10 eggs, 10 mature, 9 fertilized) and did a fresh transfer of 2 8-cell embryos on Day 3. It was a negative again, so he did a hysteroscopy to rule out uterine factor. We then proceeded to another IVF, this time using testicular sperm to circumvent the male factor. We had 7 eggs, 5 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 made it to day 3, we did a fresh transfer of 2 embryos (8-cell and 6-cell) on Day 3, which ultimately succeeded. I am now 8 weeks pregnant with singleton, and so far it seems viable and strong pregnancy.

I was going to downtown location around 8am and the wait was sometimes long, but I didn’t mind. If you are not able to wait, highly recommending to go before 7am, as there is almost no one there. The uptown location on a weekend is a different story, it is super crowded, I tried to go at opening bell. When Dr. Reichman was doing the monitoring or retrievals on a weekend, he would tell me at what time to go uptown to make sure I meet him.

My insurance covered $15,000, so we had around $58,000 out of pocket. Retrieval is ~$10, hospital fee/anesthesia ~1K, PGD testing ~$4K-6K (depending on #of embryos), frozen transfer ~$4K. IVF with fresh transfer was around $14K all in, TESE and hysteroscopy were fully covered by insurance so can’t remember the price tag.

In general, Dr. Reichman has preference for a single embryo transfer especially when embryos were tested. He does take into account individual circumstances and changes the approach accordingly.

Our fertility journey began in November 2017 through March 2019. We saw Dr. David Reichman in June of 2018 after our 3rd miscarriage. We were able to successfully have our daughter in 2016 naturally with ease (we got pregnant very quickly). So when we tried for another child it was surprising and shocking when we were not able to, each miscarriage was extremely difficult for us. From the first meeting with Dr. Reichman, he laid out a path for us to figure out what was going on. Long story short-I was diagnosed with "secondary infertility" due to scar tissue in my uterus from a D&C procedure (after 1st miscarriage in 2017) and a condition called Asherman's syndrome (as a result of the D&C). Dr. Reichman performed a hysteroscopy to remove the scar tissue successfully and guided us throughout the IVF procedure. He is a phenomenal doctor, smart and precise. I felt very safe and trusted him 100% with good reason - he is great. We decided to do ICSI with PGT due to me being a carrier for Fabry's disease and later frozen embryo transplant using 5 day old embryo. Because of his careful guidance and treatment we were able to successfully get pregnant after the very 1st transfer (which we did in early March 2019). Our family is blessed and we are so thankful and forever grateful to Dr. Reichman and the entire staff at Weill Cornell CRM - as just few short weeks ago we welcomed a healthy baby boy into our family. Our family feels complete and we would not have been able to do this without the assistance and help of Dr. Reichman. We are forever grateful and thankful for his expert care and have nothing but respect and love for him!

You are great hands. Follow his advice and expert medical guidance. He is an awesome Doctor who will treat you with the care and respect you deserve.

I used Gonal F and other meds as prescribed by Dr. Reichman. We used PGD and did a thorough assessment of the embryos as recommended by Dr. Reichman and the CRM Staff. We used the ICSI procedure as well. I had a high probability of a male child afflicted with the Fabry's disease - hence we took all the necessary steps to make sure that the result is a healthy baby.

Due to our very restricted insurance carrier, we paid out of pocket expenses on most of the medicines and procedure. Roughly out of pocket, our expenses including the entire procedure were circa $26,000. That included everything.

We decided to only transfer 1 embryo at a time - because we wanted the highest probability of success with our procedure the first time around. And we are glad that our procedure worked in our favor.

Dr. Reichman is caring, honest, and very “matter of fact”, which I liked. Every time I went to see him for appointments he always had good news to share with me which made my experience that much more enjoyable.

Research all potential questions, so that you feel confident about your procedure.

Dr. Reichman was adamant about doing one embryo transfer. All was well during the procedure but the truth is while you’re doing IVF you barely see him. I saw him for plenty of appointments prior to but since the UES office was closer to me I didn’t visit tribeca often, which is where he is located. Then the egg retrieval and transfer is done by whatever on call doctor is scheduled for that day so don’t expect Reichman to be there every step of the way.

I would definitely recommend going to the tribeca office and making sure you atleast see a doctor at the very least and not a PA or nurse. My worst experience was at a Weill Cornell Long Island office. I felt like the PA did a bad job at reading my follicles.

IVF medication - $12k IVF - believe it was $15 ICSI - another $5k Covered by insurance thank God

His explanation on why single embryo transfer made sense to me.

My experience with Dr. Reichman was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His confidence gave me strength. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field of medicine. He is prompt and thorough, yet he takes his time to make sure that you understand every aspect of the situation. He is friendly and caring. Excellent bedside manner. Gentle during procedures. One of the best medical professionals I have ever dealt with. I trust him with my health 100% and would recommend anyone I care about to him. He is absolutely amazing.

Trust him. If he says there is a chance for a successful pregnancy then follow his lead. I was at the point where I had no hope. I went to the consultation because my husband really wanted to go. After a few miscarriages, I didn't think anything would work. Dr. Reichman didn't sell me a dream or make promises in any way. He told us our options and made us think about it. We chose to move forward and from day one Dr. Reichman guided me through each step. Everything he said or expected to happen, happened. I'm not saying that every patient will have a success story, but he knows what he is doing. I can't imagine him leading a patient on. He is upfront but gentle when discussing your medical condition. It took me a little while to have confidence in him, but once he gained my confidence I knew I was in the right hands.

In my case, my eggs were poor quality. Which Dr. Reichman mentioned, could be a possibility, during our first consult with him. He recommended Genetic Testing. We knew I could conceive but we couldn't control which egg was being fertilized. By having the eggs Genetically tested, we were able to transfer the healthiest egg. So I took injections for a few weeks, went for the egg retrieval, waited for the lab tests, had the genetic testing done, and finally had the egg transfer. I am now almost 2mo pregnant and all is going well.

Monitoring appts, as well as most other appts. are all done first thing in the morning. Monitoring is very frequent. It is very convenient for the working woman. You can get all your monitoring done and report to work without a problem.

With Dr. Reichman's suggestion, I upgraded my insurance to a plan that covered 90% of the infertility treatment. Everything done in the office was covered. Majority of medication and medical supplies were covered.

In Dr. Reichman's opinion, I didn't need multiple embryo transfer. I'm glad he chose the approach that he did. It was perfect for my individual situation. May not work for every patient but it worked for me and that's all that matters.

He is an excellent and extremely knowledgable medical professional. His manner is friendly but professional, and he is even-keeled and confident in his expertise. His interactions are straightforward and matter-of-fact with enugh warmth and compassion for the experience. I've always felt quite comfortable wit Dr. Reichman. However, morning monitoring hours are not the best time to ask Dr. Reichman detailed questions. He will answer them albeit slightly more brusquely than when you meet with him for a consultation or other appointments. He's very responsive over email. He is, I would say, mostly focused on the fertility treatment as a direct option; he is less concerned with or focused on addressing underlying issues of infertility. He is mission-driven and mission-focused. If you want a more holistic approach (that takes your body's fertility and health into more detailed consideration), Dr. Reichman may not be your first choice. He may be taking these factors into careful consideration, but that wasn't necessarily clearly communicated during my IUI and IVF processes. Overall, I've always trusted his advice, and he has always encouraged me to ask any questions or share any concerns.

Clearly communicate any and all concerns/questions you may have, even if they may seem minor or even if Dr. Reichman does not bring them up.

During IVF, Dr. Reichman ordered a protocol of almost-daily monitoring (usually ultrasound and bloodwork). He was erring on the side of caution, which was a comfort, as I was at risk for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). He prescribed low dosages of Gonal-F and Menopur, increased dosage, then lowered dosage by 10-15 units according to my bloodwork each day. I injected the trigger shot on day 14. Fourteen eggs were retrieved two days later. Five embryos were cryopreserved, one was a fresh transfer on day 5. The embryo successfully implanted. He was very careful with my dosages to avoid OHSS and clearly explained the risks and possibilities.

Mostly efficient and convenient to my schedule (6:45-8:30 am). There were a few (mostly rare) occasions when it felt like a cattle call, long-ish wait, then rushed.

Had to pay out of pocket for all IUI treatments. There was a discount for same-day payments.

Yes, Dr. Reichman strongly recommended a transfer of a single embryo and explained the risks of multiple embryo transfer to my health and the embryo's chances of survival. I completely trusted his judgment and rationale. I appreciated that he is mission-driven and practices extreme caution. He wants to be able to deliver a healthy (as safe as possible) pregnancy, not a risky one.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Dr. Reichman. It was a difficult and long journey and we felt we were in the best hands the entire time. He is extremely knowledgable and we trusted him completely. He is also warm, funny, and caring, and made the experience of being in the office almost every morning as pleasant as possible

You will be in the best hands.

We first underwent a uterine septum repair and polypectomy. Then, we underwent 8 IUI cycles, 3 of which we used clomid. Eventually, we underwent one cycle of IVF and one subsequent embryo transfer that was successful.

We never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes at the Tribeca office. The monitoring hours were very convenient for our work schedule

The costs themselves were based on our insurance coverage and we luckily had fairly good coverage

He informed us of the benefits/risks and left the final decision up to us.

I loved Dr. Reichman. He was always present at every monitoring appointment and always new who I was. He was empathetic but also direct in his advice. His confidence was infectious. I had two other doctors at two other clinics and no one compared.

Just try to get an appointment!

I had 10 failed cycles with different medicines (clomid, injectibles etc.) when I switched to Reichman. While I was doing all of the necessary pre-op stuff for IVF we did one more Clomid + IUI that was unsuccessful. For the IVF we were doing a fresh transfer so he tried to get as many eggs as possible without hyper-stimulating when the egg was transferred. All went well and the transfer was successful.

overall great. ultrasounds were relatively painless and happened quickly (as opposed to some other places I went..)

costs seemed pretty standard and in-line with other clinics. Was covered by insurance for me so I am not exactly sure.

I am under 35 so Dr. Reichman recommended a single transfer. We didn't even consider two...

Dr. Reichman is one of the best doctors out there. He is very knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy. We transferred from RMA to Cornell last fall and are almost six months pregnant with our first. He was able to diagnois us on our first appointment and gave us a realistic plan. We are very grateful and lucky to have found him.

Try to relax during treatments. Acupunture once a week I believed helped me. Don't have too many expectations for the first round of IVF and trust your doctor.

Most of the time it was very fast and efficient. I liked to go towards the end of monitoring hours which was around 8:30am.

2 IUIs, 2 IVFs, 1 embryo transfer Total was between $40 to 50K

Dr. Reichman is kind, warm, and straightforward. I was in another clinic that was over-medicalizing my situation and basically started pushing IUI and IVF from the second cycle of Letrozol treatment. When I switched to Dr. R, he promised to help me get pregnant in under six cycles and assured me I would probably not need IVF or even IUI. On the second cycle, bingo. He was fun and I honestly miss him! Who ever says that about their fertility journey?

Trust him.
