Eric Forman

When we left Dr. Forman's office, both my husband and I felt imbued with confidence that we were in good hands. He had taken the time to carefully review our medical history and data, and explained to us potential treatment paths with their advantages and disadvantages, concluding with the best option for our situation. All the while he was eager to hear our story, and provided us with ample opportunities to ask any questions we might have. He also gave us his e-mail address and answered any e-mail within 24 hours.

Dr. Forman had carefully read our medical history before meeting with us. On our first visit, a doctor in training attended our consultation, but before leading us into the room, Dr. Forman asked us in a sensitive manner whether this would be ok with us. It was clear that we had the choice to say no and that this would be accepted and respected. During the consultation, he took the time to listen to us, review any medical data we had brought with us, and explain various details of the anticipated procedures to us, weighing different options and providing a clear treatment plan tailored to our specific situation. He directly organized for us to meet with different members on his team to address various aspects of the treatment, and take blood samples for additional diagnostics. Everyone on his team was completely focused on us and our needs, and acted in a calm and efficient, yet supportive manner.

We are at the very beginning of treatment. Since my husband has azoospermia due to blockage, the anticipated treatment would require sperm extraction, egg extraction, ICSI, and finally IVF. Dr. Forman suggested not to perform both the sperm and egg extractions on the same day, in order to prevent me from having to undergo invasive treatment should the sperm extraction not yield the desired results. Dr. Forman also suggested some strategies to save both time and money, which was very much appreciated.

The care coordinator called a week before our first appointment to make sure that we submit our new patient questionnaire ahead of time, so that Dr. Forman would have the time to review our case before meeting with us. The nurse, Christine, was very helpful, providing us with a checklist of additional diagnostic tests required and talking us through the advantages and disadvantages of genetic testing. The nurse who took our blood was very diligent, competent, and friendly.

The clinic actively takes part in research performed at Columbia University, which means that it remains at the forefront of the field. Treatments provided are state-of-the-art. Besides the expertise, sensitivity and kindness of the staff, the clinic facilities provide a welcoming surrounding.

Dr. Forman suggested implanting a single embryo only, as he was confident that given my values this should not be a problem. He said that if we were to perform genetic testing on the embryo pre-implantation, this would allow us to determine whether any of the generated embryos might not be good for implantation, thus raising the chances to obtain a successful pregnancy after implanting just one embryo.

I am so proud to have him as my Doctor. I was about to give up on CWRC after several failed procedures. But I gave them another chance and met with Dr. Eric Forman. I told him how I felt about CWRC. He assured me that things were going to change. He spoke with confidence. He took his time to explain everything. And I really wanted to try having another baby and so I gave him a try. And then, our journey began, 4 months later, I was pregnant! Dr. Forman made sure that I had all the medications I needed. He kept in touch with me through email and I was shocked that he responded so quickly. I had so many questions and he answered all of them. He was patient with me. He's just an amazing Doctor, not because I became pregnant, but because I didn't feel like just another patient. I didn't feel like I was passed down from one doctor to another. He is absolutely wonderful!

I would tell a prospective patient to tell Dr Forman everything like what works for you and what doesn't. He listens. Example: if you can't get to a scheduled appointment, let him know and he will make it work. Also to ask questions even if it doesn't makes sense, he will explain everything.

Dr. Forman made me feel that I was important and not just another patient. He followed up with me through email, and whenever I had a question, he would respond right away. He was there for me throughout the process.

This time around, by evaluating my previous procedures, Dr. Forman saw that I could take higher dosage but almost the same medication. The only different medication I've received from Dr. Forman is the the pregesterone. Instead of the normal pills, I was given pregesterone in sesame oil. I was also seeing Dr. Forman almost every week during the process and made sure that my bloodwork is all good. I was basically monitored closely which I think helped in the whole process to see how my body is reacting to the treatment.

They were all very nice and they seem to know what they were all doing. They also know your name. They give you privacy. They confirm your name and birthdate. I would say it has gotten better.

Strengths: There is hardly a line when checking in, I never have to wait more than 10 minutes for a bloodwork. And they are all friendly. Weaknesses: The clinic can use a little update especially the bathrooms.

I had insurance that covered everything except for Freezing of the embryos.

Dr. Forman is amazing! Nothing bad to say. You can't go wrong with him as your doctor. Very smart and on top of cutting edge research. And excellent bed side manner. A unique combo! Fertility treatment is very stressful, but knowing that your doctor is always available to answer your questions and guide you, makes the process a little less stressful. He truly has your best interest in mind. Other doctors that I have consulted with did not listen to my family planing goals. Dr. Forman listening to my goals and guided us in the best possible way to help us now and in the long term.

Always ask if you have questions. He will answer.

You never feel like a number with Dr Forman. He takes the time to answer all your questions - even if you have million questions. He's always available by email. He is genuinely interested in your success and remembers your specific diagnosis/situation. After my initial consultation with Dr Forman and before I started treatment with him, I had a hysteroscopy scheduled at a different clinic. He reached out by email to see how the procedure went. Meant a lot to me.

I don't remember the specific dosages. I did 2 retrieval cycles (menpopur, goal F, ganirelix) with HCG and lupron for trigger. We did ICSI And PGS due recurrent pregnancy lost. We did two retrieval cycles for the purpose of storing embryos for the future. We did a single 6 day embryo frozen transfer which stuck. I'm currently 12 weeks. Fingers crossed.

Samantha was great. She called me every day when I went in with the results of the U/S and blood work. She was always available by phone and email to answer my questions.

I monitored at a different RMA NJ location due to convenience. It's nice to have the option of monitoring somewhere closer to home yet still being followed by your doctor. However, sometimes there is a really long wait during monitoring hours. Could be 15 min to over an hour.

Morristown office was in and out. I monitored mostly in Englewood and there's usually a long wait. Avoid Mondays and Fridays if you can.

Ha! Expensive. Luckily we had some insurance coverage. But that quickly runs out and also our insurance didn't cover thinks like genetic testing and embryo freezing. Blocked out how much out of pocket expenses we had - but definitely worth it.

Definitely eSET. Dr. Forman explained that with PGS tested embryos the success rate is very high and therefore not worth the risk of carrying multiples.

Dr. Forman is extremely knowledgeable but above all, he is incredibly kind and patient. He is soft-spoken and remains very calm when I have the tendency to get overly emotional and breakdown in front of him. I was confident that Dr. Forman knew the best treatment plan for my specific situation. Dr. Forman is empathetic and compassionate and sincerely cared for how I was feeling during the cycle and after retrieval. I selfishly wish he wasn't leaving the RMA practice because I would love to continue to be his patient. There aren't enough kind words to describe him; he's definitely a rare find when it comes to being seen by a fertility doctor who honestly cares about his patients.

You're incredibly lucky! Bring a notebook to write things down or come with questions because you're going to be given a lot of information to process. Trust that you're in great hands by being under his care.

Dr. Forman was extremely thorough in explaining each step of my egg retrieval process. I actually went to him for what I thought would only be a consultation but unexpectedly was diagnosed with DOR. He was incredibly compassionate and caring and was always calm in explaining my options as I was completely overwhelmed. Dr. Forman was readily available to answer all of my questions and he kept checking-up on me to ensure I was feeling well. I was a nervous wreck the day I was scheduled for my retrieval and on top of it all, he was not on the schedule for that specific day to do my retrieval. I was elated and surprised when the nurse told Dr. Forman was actually coming in that day to do MY retrieval! He knew I was scared and anxious throughout the entire process and to ease my fears, he went above and beyond and out of his way to be MY doctor to do my retrieval (on a day that he wasn't even scheduled)! Infertility challenges may be a very difficult and sensitive topic for some people; I spent most of the cycle crying and being stressed/frustrated/nervous/anxious - Dr. Forman did everything he could to keep me focused on the positives and I NEVER felt rushed when I went through my endless lists of questions. Not only is he brilliant, but he is genuine and sincerely cares - he's an incredible doctor and exceptional person.

I am 33 years old; on my initial visit, my AMH was 0.29 and there were 3 follicles seen when I went for my initial consultation appointment. I was surprised to learn I actually had DOR. I was on the antagonist protocol and was on a high dose level of medication and took my trigger shot on the 10th day of treatment. I was solely relying on him and his judgement and was extremely fortunate and happy to have 7 eggs retrieved and 6 frozen.

My nurse became my biggest supporter and I felt as if she was on this journey with me. Always encouraging me and reminding me to stay positive and focused. I absolutely adore Dayna for being genuine and candid. I was able to ask her questions that I would normally be too embarrassed to even ask my girlfriends. It's hard to talk about this topic for me but Dayna was more than just my nurse; it felt like she became my biggest fan. She was always in a good mood when she called me and even when it wasn't the best news, she was incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable. All of the nurses that I met at RMA were lovely but Dayna seemed to go above and beyond with keeping me organized, positive, calm, educated and focused.

Because RMANJ is so large and has so many locations, you'd think you'd feel as if you were just 'taking a number' when going to appointments. I actually felt the opposite. Each office I visited, each phlebotomist I encountered, each doctor who saw me - everyone made me feel that I was a person with my own specific needs/questions/concerns. I thought I would feel overwhelmed and defeated by going to such a large practice but it was incredibly convenient to have so many offices be open with very early hours for regular blood tests and ultrasounds. I wish there was more than 1 location that was open on the weekends/holidays but other than that, I have no suggestions/complaints.

The Morristown office seems more efficient with blood work and ultrasounds because they have more rooms available. I also went to the West Orange location which would become more crowded than I would prefer because it is a smaller office. I found this entire process to be extremely emotionally draining but regardless to which office I went to, once I saw the doctor, I felt hopeful and encouraged. Visiting Morristown appeared to be a well oiled machine while visiting West Orange, on some mornings when they were busy, it seemed like I was on a slow moving conveyor belt.

I'm fortunate that I had coverage with my health insurance. I hadn't met my deductibles for the year so the price I paid RMA for 2 retrieval cycles along with egg freezing (after insurance coverage) was $4,200; EXCLUDING medication.

We first met Dr. Forman a few years ago when after TTC for about 3 years on our own. During our first visit with Dr. Forman we were shocked by the amount of information we were given. He was thorough and responsive to any questions we had. At that point in time we were not ready to move forward with treatment due to financial reasons. After switching jobs and moving, my new health insurance covered treatment at another fertility clinic that was much closer to our new home. We made an appointment at the other fertility center and quickly realized that the care was extremely different. Despite the distance and having to pay out of pocket, we returned to Dr. Forman and never looked back! I was extremely nervous about the entire IVF process, and Dr. Forman eased my concerns and gave me the tools I needed to feel confident about our treatment plan. We completed our retrieval which was extremely successful. We did our first transfer about a month later which did not work. Upon receiving the news, Dr. Forman immediately discussed with us a new plan for our next transfer which we were excited about. There was never a pause in care; Dr. Forman was able to keep us focused on our family planning goals. I'm happy to report our second transfer was successful, and I am now in my second trimester. We look forward to continuing to grow our family under Dr. Forman's care!!!

Bring a notebook! You won't remember everything and having notes to look back on is helpful. Dr. Forman is all about patient education...imagine a really thorough high school health class mixed with an advanced college level biology class. That's your new patient appointment in a nutshell!

Dr. Forman treated both myself and my husband with the utmost care, concern, and respect. From moment one, Dr. Forman took the time to explain every step of the process (testing and treatment) and thoroughly answered all of our questions. He gave us the information we needed to make autonomous decisions and feel confident with our diagnosis, treatment, and possible outcomes. He and his staff were readily available via both phone and email whenever we had questions. We felt like our concerns and questions were just as important to him as they were to us.

Because of our fertility obstacles, Dr. Forman said that both IVF and IUI were reasonable options. He weighed the pros and cons of both treatments with us considering our long term family planning goals. Ultimately we decided to do IVF considering my age and our desire to have multiple children in the future. We completed our egg retrieval and opted for CCS testing to test our embryos chromosomes at day 5 after fertilization. All embryos were frozen at this point. About a month later we did a tansfer with one of our normal embryos. We did the standard transfer protocol which included progesterone injections and a timed transfer. Unfortunately this transfer did not work. Dr. Forman reached out to us immediately to discuss strategies going forward. Our next transfer a month later involved the natural approach. It is still medicated, but relies on the body's natural cycle. Dr. Forman felt like I was a good candidate for this option that isn't always the first line of treatment. Our second transfer worked and we are now in our second trimester! Each step of the way Dr. Forman gave us all of our options and let us make our own decisions. Every time we made a decision we felt confident going forward because of the information provided by Dr. Forman.

Our nurse Rachel was amazing! She was extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. She answered are questions and concerns thoroughly and in a kind and caring manner. During our treatment process I spoke to Rachel on the phone multiple times a week. She was great!

RMANJ is easily accessible; Multiple locations and hours of operation make morning monitoring and appointment scheduling extremely easy. They offer a wide variety of services beyond fertility treatment like acupuncture, counseling, and nutrition education. RMANJ strives to treat the entire person/couple not just the infertility!

I found morning monitoring pretty easy. The hours are before a typical work day and occur at all offices. My retrieval cycle was during the holidays and they provided ample notice when hours and locations changed so the transition was seamless. The process was a well oiled machine.

Because we paid out of pocket we purchased a "package" from a third party finance company that works directly with RMANJ that covered the egg retrieval, two transfers, and morning monitoring. This package cost around $16,000. We also paid for genetic testing which cost around $500 and opted for CCS testing which was $2,500.

Dr. Forman encouraged us to do a single embryo transfer during both of our transfers. He provided us with information on the pros and cons of both, and we agreed that single embryo transfer was right for us and our future family. It should be noted that we did CCS testing on our embryos so we had an extra level of confidence making this decision.

Dr. Forman was always very calm, reassuring, and extremely knowledgeable. He never made me feel like a number. He truly loves what he does and is compassionate. I never doubted his advice or recommendations and felt very confident that he was my fertility physician. He always returned my calls or texts very promptly if I had a question or concern which put me at ease.

Request that he perform all your procedures and have your RN assist with coordinating your schedule and his so that can occur barring weather or emergency scheduling changes. His calming bedside manner and confidence will put you at ease for all procedures.

Dr. Forman was always very calm, reassuring, and extremely knowledgeable. h He never made me feel like a number. He truly loves what he does and is compassionate. I never doubted his advice or recommendations and felt very confident that he was my fertility physician. My RN Jennifer Graeve was also excellent and compassionate throughout my entire time with RMA. At times the morning monitoring was tough and made me feel like a number because there were so many people in the waiting room, especially on the weekends, but I am not sure if there is a way to fix that as the hours try to accommodate working women which I like.

I had two IUI attempts using Follistim and Ganirelex. Dr. Forman counseled us that I had no anatomic issues that we couldn't try IUI first, although he told us IVF had better outcomes. I insisted on trying IUI first because was less invasive and required less monitoring. Unfortunately they didn't work and we moved onto IVF. My first egg retrieval yielded 6 eggs and 4 embryos, however all four were not chromosomally normal or acceptable for a transfer. One was a mosaic which in the past evidently were sometimes used but Dr. Forman advised me against it unless it was my only option. He assured me that sometimes this can occur and that he has seen women go on to have future egg retrievals and embryos that are healthy. Although I was devastated and frustrated with the process at this point as it was going on almost 8 months of fertility treatment, I agreed to try again, giving myself a month off to regroup. My final cycle and egg retrieval (which was on Christmas Day and we are convinced blessed as a result :) ) yielded about 6 eggs and we had four healthy embryos!!!! We did ICSI and had all the advanced genetic chromosomal testing done and decided to transfer our male embryo the end of February. On March 6th I finally received the news that we were praying for . .. . I was pregnant!!!! I am now 16 weeks and 4 days and all going well! Bloodwork and early anatomy scan normal. We couldn't be happier.

Jen was excellent and compassionate and answered all my questions and took the time. She would get me an answer from Dr. Forman if she didn't know the answer or if I asked her to check with Dr. Forman.

Great location, great staff. Front desk now has friendly, happy staff. Initially had a woman who was not pleasant and this made for a negative experience. Would like for am monitoring to have hours until 8am until just 7:30am

Was a bit like cattle call for am monitoring, although was efficient and wait times were not long. It is a bit tough when you are going through difficultly of infertility and herded in waiting room and called in to line up for labwork and then sit back again for ultrasound. Staff was always pleasant and cheerful, esp the lab techs so that helped but it was tough at times.

I was fortunate to have great fertility coverage until BCBS PPO but even so I met my max before the end of the year for meds and had to pay couple thousand for that (had two IUI, two egg retrievals in one year)

I was nervous only transferring one embryo because many of my acquaintances and friends had had at least two transferred. Dr. Forman was pretty adament in recommending I transfer only one because of my age and the risks of multiple pregnancies. He said the testing has come such a long was that it allows him to choose only healthy embryos to transfer and the rate of success was high with a normal, healthy embryo as ours. So I trusted him and went with one embryo. I am pregnant and he was right and I was able to avoid twin pregnancy with all its risks.

He's a bit of an awkward turtle, but I found that rather comforting. I like statistics and scientific information and he was always good about providing that. He has been a very good fit for me. Since the beginning, he has collaborated with me on treatment and we have talked through the various options both from a likelihood of success perspective as well as a financial (what is and is not covered by insurance) perspective.

Feel free to ask questions - he is very receptive to that and it will help him know what information you need. He will try to work within the parameters of your insurance, but if you are ready to be more aggressive despite the cost, let him know. I'm certain that if money were no object in my treatment, we would have made the jump to IVF already, but since that has been a huge financial stumbling block, he has been willing to let us do more IUIs than most.

The whole clinic staff is great. They know me personally and are always very supportive and patient whenever I go in. My assigned nurse, who calls me with test results and dosage instructions has been great, and even when there's a substitute, I never feel rushed through the information. Dr. Forman has collaborated with me and my husband regarding our treatment, and has been sensitive to our financial situation as well.

We tried different stims (follistim ended up being the one we stuck with) and different triggers (stuck with ovidrel after an injection site reaction to the other) to see what went better. We adjusted the dosage rate for the first few IUI cycles until we got it right. We tried and then abandoned progesterone suppositories after a bad reaction one month. We talked about non-prescription supplementation as well. I have reacted very well to the follistim and ovidrel - our problem now seems to be my husband's sperm. He referred my husband to a urologist for assessment and supplements.

My primary nurse, Christine, and the entire staff have been great. Even when I'm staggering in for monitoring half-asleep at 6am, they are cheerful, patient, but still efficient. There are two regular phlebotomists in the office and I've had so many blood draws that I know which one prefers which arm. They all know me by name at this point.

In addition to the staff, which I think I've already covered sufficiently, the location is great for me, and the monitoring hours mean that I haven't had to miss work at all for monitoring sessions or IUIs.

My insurance covered meds and IUI treatments and bloodwork, so I paid a $40 copay for each visit where I had an ultrasound. I did have some out-of-pocket costs associated with my hysteroscopy, of course, but that was my insurance deductible. I know they have a 6-cycle money-back-guarantee IVF program, but my husband and I haven't decided if we want to go that route.

We haven't actually done IVF yet, but we have discussed our approach should we have to move into that. He is convinced by the studies that show that a single embryo transfers has resulted in more healthy births, so as a general rule he does single transfers, although if there were a reason to do multiple, I don't think there's a hard and fast policy against that.

Dr. Forman is very knowledgeable, patient and detail oriented. He cares about his patients and wanted the best for his patients. He always addresses my concern and question. He also made sure he is more hands-on with me once I had one failed transfer. He made sure he did the 2nd transfer for me and made sure he can see me in each morning monitor.

Whenever you have concern about your procedures or during early pregnancy, always email Dr. Forman, he will address your concern right away. I see many patients resort to facebook or forum, but they are only getting another person's experience, every body is different, trust your doctor, not facebook or forum. And be very alert and cautious in case any issue comes up.

Dr. Forman always address my concern and question, I might not see him in each morning monitor. But he had made sure he does my transfer and morning monitor since I had one failed FET that was not performed by him. I felt he wanted to make sure I got the care I need and he wanted to make sure he was there for me.

For egg retrieval medication, I dont exactly remember. For FET, it was estrogen, Progesterone oil, Doxycyclin and Madrol.

Merry is very experienced and she is up to the point, unfortunately I never had chance to meet her personally. She is quite responsive in email and phone call.

When your doctor layout the plans for you. Do some homework and understand 100% of each treatment and purpose of them, if not clear at any point, email your doctor or nurse for better explanation. Phone call might be difficult to reach them, but doctor and nurse are better with email conversation.

If you want to be seen quickly, come around 6 AM.

Roughly about 6-7K

Not much to say..I trust their approach.

I am thankful to have met Dr. Forman. He was committed to our goal of achieving pregnancy throughout our time at RMA. He came up with creative solutions and explained all of our options thoroughly. We experienced a number of failures, but Dr. Forman never gave up. He continued to explore possibilities. Dr. Forman was thorough, trustworthy, kind, intelligent, caring, compassionate and easily accessible for questions. He gave us all the time we needed to answer questions. I highly recommend Dr. Forman!

Trust him!

Dr. Forman was patient and kind. He spent as much time with us as we needed. He explained our treatment plan and options in a manner that was easy for us to understand. He was compassionate and caring.

Our first three IVF cycles were traditional cycles with 1 embryo transfer. Dr. Forman had suggested transferring 2, but I was nervous about twins so we proceeded based on my comfort. We used the typical medications of progesterone in oil injections and estrogen. The final cycle was a non-traditional cycle where he created more of a natural cycle and implanted the embryo when my own body was ready to receive it. Medications were similar to the traditional cycles and continued through the first 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Merry was a pleasure to deal with. She was easy to get in touch with and provided reasonable explanations for any questions. She also showed much compassion and care after suffering losses.

RMA was a great clinic. Wait times were minimal for morning monitoring - I think the longest I ever waited was 20 minutes. Phlebotomists were friendly and pleasant and always referred to me by name. I had a positive experience with RMA and can't point out any weaknesses.

Monitoring appointments were a breeze. There was never a long wait and phlebotomists new me by name.

The health insurance company covered most costs, with the exception of our deductible, co-insurance and embryo testing/freezing.

Dr. Forman always outlined our options. After several failures, he suggested transferring 2 embryos. I was uncomfortable and so we proceeded with 1. The final cycle, my husband and I decided to go for 2 embryos and 1 stuck!

Dr. Forman is extremely knowledgeable and very compassionate. He has a very calm demeanor and takes his time explaining everything to the patient. You can tell he has the best interest of the patient at heart although he may seem somewhat quiet or stand off-ish. He is very respectful of the patient and what she and her husband are going through. Here’s a great communicator and is always available night or day by email. You can feel his passion for his work and his general commitment to the patient. I would highly recommend him.

Be open minded and trust that he knows what he is doing. Dr. Forman can be quiet and almost shy in appearance but he is extremely knowledgeable.

Dr. Forman has a nice relaxed way of communicating and he is always available to talk either by phone or email. He is quick to respond as well. He verbalizes understanding of what the couple is going through and offers what he feels is the best treatment option. Ears open and honest and does not create false hope.

Due to my age and the fact that I had good insurance coverage, he recommended we go right to IVF rather than trying IUI. After my first egg collection I had severe abdominal cramping and so with my second egg collection he changed the “trigger “ Med to Lupron and I felt fine after the collection.

Lauren Bizub was great, very understanding through all our ups and downs. There were one or two other nurses however that did not seem to really understand the emotional trouble that goes along with the IVF process. After my first transfer I miscarried at seven weeks. One of the nurses called to tell me that I needed to return to the office for further blood work I explained that I was not in an emotional state to return to the office that week. Instead of verbalizing understanding of my feelings, she just kept on insisting. As a nurse practitioner myself I had to explain to her that going to the office Was an emotional experience in and of itself after a miscarriage and D&C. I explained that I just needed a few days to get myself together. Unfortunately the nurse did not seem to be very understanding or compassionate. I have to say, that part was very disappointing. My doctor and nurse however we’re great.

RMA Morristown was pretty good. One thing I feel the need to comment time is that on any given day during morning monitoring hours, The waiting room which is right across from the front desk, can be very full. There are tons of women and their husbands sitting there very anxious or maybe having just received bad news and just trying to get through the process. Meanwhile at the desk, other patients are being congratulated and given their discharge packet. It’s really difficult to have to sit there and listen to someone else getting the news we truly wish you were getting yourself. I did eventually get that news myself and I was sure to keep quiet and hurry out of the office. I just feel maybe the office staff there needs to be a little more sensitive to all of the women in the waiting room.

Although it did feel like we were cattle being herded, the office was very efficient and I was able to go there before working hours which made things a lot easier.

Somewhere around $15,000

Dr. Forman strongly recommended a single embryo transfer stating that there were less chances of complications. I felt very comfortable with that and I really appreciated his honesty.

Dr. Foreman is very intelligent. He has a matter-of-fact nature that I appreciated. I don't want a doctor to give me the run-around or take unnecessary steps. Dr. Foreman gets straight to the point and gives his opinion on the best course of action. Of course, every choice is solely up to your own discretion and Dr. Foreman will respect whatever that decision is.

Dr. Foreman is very matter-of-fact. It was not that he didn't have a warm bedside manner, but he did not sugar coat things. For this reason, some may feel that he is cold but my husband and I appreciated his candid nature.

Due to health issues, I wanted to fastest route to pregnancy. Dr. Foreman fully understood this and we began a freeze-all IVF with ICSI cycle shortly after a hysteroscopy. After getting CCS testing I underwent a natural FET.

Kathy was truly a blessing. I could not have asked for a more caring and compassionate nurse. She was prompt to give me information and respond to all my questions and concerns. She also acted as my advocate when needed. All the women staff in the Springfield office were also very kind and welcoming. I appreciate all they have done.

A few weaknesses that I would like to point out are the following: 1. Lack of a patient portal. Any and all information I got regarding bloodwork, test results, medications, etc were conveyed to me by my nurse. 2. "Morning Monitoring" hours stink. Maybe they could extend them an hour or two? 3. No one tells you any information regarding your cycle more than one appointment in advance. I understand that everything is subject to change based on your body and where you are in your cycle, but I would have appreciated a more defined plan and explanation of what to expect. Unless I specifically asked, no one offered this information. (Sometimes, that was a good thing. Ignorance is bliss!) A few things I'd like to point out that I think made my time with RMA great: 1. KIND and CARING staff. There is no substitute for the kindness the staff showed. There was always a little breakfast or coffee out in the mornings for patients. Staff knew me by my first name. They showed a genuine interest in my life. 2. Amazing doctors. All the doctors (whether I liked them or not) were very smart. Any of them at any given time could answer any question that you have, whether they were your primary doctor or not. They also made a great effort to learn your chart and your cycle so they could communicate well with you regarding your treatment plans. 3. Clean, updated offices. This was huge for me. 4. Great support system. The Fertilitalk network is great and I felt really special when I learned that Fertilitalk holds gatherings for women to get together and meet peers, and it's compliments of RMA.

I didn't find monitoring hours to be convenient, especially on weekends. There were only a few rare occasions that I was in the office for more than 30 minutes. The weekend office was about 20 minutes from me so we always budgeted an hour and a half just for bloodwork & ultrasound appointments. That being said, I think that the staff did the best they could and everyone was very organized.

I believe Dr. Foreman is highly learned in the benefits of single embryo vs multiple embryo transfers. I was and am confident in his method. By getting CCS testing, you pick the healthiest embryo which lowers your chance of a miscarriage and the need to transfer more than one. This is also beneficial since carrying multiples comes with high risks.

Dr. Forman is one of the best doctors my husband and I have ever come across. He was our hope at a very dark time in our lives. After our first appointment, we had a clear plan of what to expect. Dr. Forman was very upfront and honest throughout the entire process. We felt as though he was truly invested in seeing us come out on the other side as parents. Even after discharge, he helped us navigate some issues we were having with the pregnancy (not IVF related). He recommended doctors and personally kept in touch with us. We could not have asked for a better experience. His knowledge far surpasses other fertility specialists we have seen and we will be forever grateful for finding him and RMA.

I have recommended Dr. Forman to a number of my friends and they have all gone on to become parents. My biggest piece of advice would be to not wait. Make an appointment as soon as you think something may be wrong.

Dr. Forman always answered all of our questions thoroughly and in a way in which we could understand. He set realistic expectations and made sure we were comfortable thoughout the entire process.

Dr. Forman was careful to not hyperstimulate my ovaries. His main concern was quality not quantity. I started with Folistim injections followed by Ganirelix and eventually a trigger shot. He was aiming for 15 quality eggs and we got exactly that.

When I was pregnant the first time around, I was assigned to a nurse named Cely. She was fantastic, but unfortunately she no longer works full time at RMA. The second time I was pregnant, my nurse was Mary Ellen. She was okay... seemed to lack some compassion and I felt as though she really viewed her job as just that... a job. Overall, the staff is great however!

RMA is a smooth running practice. They see alot of patients so it's easy to feel as though you're just a number, but the staff goes out of their way to make sure this doesn't happen. It can be overwhelming at times when you're in a packed room at 6am waiting for monitoring, but I feel as though that's a testament to RMA's great reputation. The financial advisor I had the first time around was awful, but the second time around, I had someone else who was great. Like anything, there are a few bad apples but overall this is not the norm here.

Monitoring can be overwhelming but RMA does a very good job of getting people in and out. Their 530am start time works well for working professionals. I was able to monitor without having to tell my boss what was going on.

I believe all said and done it was about $20-25K; however, insurance paid for a good portion. We were able to freeze embryos if we decided to have more children. The cost for FET for subsequent pregnancies was very reasonable.

My husband and I agree with Dr. Forman's philosophy of aiming for one healthy baby at a time. A singleton birth typically has less complications and less time (if any) in the NICU. We were fully on board with this.

Dr. Eric Foreman is very attentive, kind, caring. He is a brilliant doctor. I feel so lucky that I got him as my doctor. He would respond to questions usually same day. He treats his patients like family or a close friend.

Always have an open mind. Dr. Foreman will do everything possible for you to get the results you want, but also remember it's in a higher -powers hands. Yet stay positive.

Dr. Foreman was always available to answer any questions. He was quick to respond to emails and would also quickly set up a phone call when needed. I've never had a doctor that was that responsive. I felt he truly cared about his patient and wanted me to have the result that I wanted. I can't say enough good things about Dr.Foreman! He's a brilliant doctor, kind and real human being.

I can't remember, but Dr.Foreman will taylor a plan for you

I loved my first nurse, Tanya. She was very kind. I was petrified of giving myself injections and didn't feel comfortable learning from a video; She offered me to come to the office and she showed me how to give myself the injections. She also gave me her cell number in case I had questions when giving myself injections. She truly cared about her patients. Unfortunately, toward the end of my time at RMA Tanya got a new job and I got a new nurse. The new nurse was not located in the location I went to and I didn't find her as warm.

Great doctors! Some nurses great! They should teach all patients in person how to administer the injections. Luckily my first nurse was kind enough to show me the subcutaneous injections. The muscular injections my general doctor and mother showed my husband how to do them.

They weren't too bad if you arrive early

Dr. Foreman preferred single transfer due to the fact that with multiples it's a higher risk on the babies and the mom. From my own research I agreed to his approach.

Dr Forman is very caring. He explained every aspect of the IVF process. He was always available to answer questions. I have recommended Dr Forman to many colleagues and would use him again! As someone who had worked in the medical field for more than 20 years, I appreciated Dr Forman for his medical prowess, his warm demeanor and his honesty. In my opinion, fertility doctor's need to have a good bedside manner, as well as, be innovators in their field. Dr Forman has all of these.

Trust the process and utilize all that RMA has to offer their patients.

Dr Forman made me feel like a human, and not a number, by calling me throughout the cycle .. remembering my name. Dr Forman was always available to answer any questions.

Although I do not recall the specific cycles used, or drug dosages (which are all patient specific), I do remember that my first cycle did not result in an egg retrieval. Dr Forman advised me to stop the cycle and utilize a different protocol. While I was initially upset, it made sense not to spend the money when I would not have gotten the eggs needed for a transfer. I appreciated Dr Forman's honesty.

Christine was a very good communicator. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner.

The main strength of RMA is the size. There are many offices that you can go to for your bloodwork and ultrasounds. The office hours cannot be beat. The Morristown office opened even earlier to accommodate their clients.

The monitoring appointments at RMA are for a specific time period. I have to be at work at 7am .. so I typically was the first person to arrive for my ultrasound. Even when I wasn't the first person .. I never had to wait too long. And better yet, I was never late to work.

As an individual with a large fibroid uterus, Dr Forman advised me against have multiple embryos transferred. I had to have an open myomectomy prior to my transfer and all physicians involved did not think it would be wise to carry more than one child.

We feel extremely blessed to have become pregnant on our first try and we will be forever grateful to you and the entire staff at RMANJ. Every interaction we had with doctors, nurses and staff was positive and we knew we were in good hands for every procedure, ultrasound and test result. Given the size of RMANJ, the personal attention we received was unheard of and much appreciated. We always felt informed and aware of what the next steps were and if we didn't, we had no problem finding out whether from you or our nurses. We came to you during an extremely difficult time in our personal lives and we are so appreciative of the compassion we were shown throughout the entire process.

Email communication is best. Very responsive. Usually within an hour.

Dr. Forman was very responsive to emails and always emailed us right before and after procedures (TESE, retrieval) to let us know how it went.

Antagonist protocol due to low egg reserve.

We began treatment with Tanya who was very helpful and informative. Tanya left the practice in the middle of our cycle and then we had Zahava who was very attentive and informative as well.

Despite the number of patients RMA treats, we still felt like we got personal care. Morning monitoring waits can be long if you don't get there at 5:30am.

Pretty much a well-oiled machine, but the wait could be long (30 mins) if you didn't get there as close to opening at 5:30am as possible.

We were lucky enough to have insurance cover much of our cycle, including PGS testing.

As a patient, I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to recommend him to anyone seeking infertility care. He is extremely compassionate and dedicated to his work.

Be patient with the outcome, as everyone's situation is different. There may be a timeline given, but understand that things may take a bit longer than expected.

Dr. Forman is an excellent reproductive endocrinologist. At each appointment my husband and I had with him, he took his time, never rushed us, explained information very thoroughly, and had such a wonderful bedside manner. There were times where he made special accommodations to see us at the very end of the day, due to my work schedule, and he personally called me prior to each egg retrieval/transfer, even if it was on a Saturday or Sunday.

My most-recent nurse, Ann Marie, is also extremely compassionate and thorough. She kept in contact with me very efficiently, and I never had to worry about hearing from her or having a question answered. She returned all of my phone calls very promptly, and we had an extremely great rapport with one another.

The morning monitoring staff, whether it be the front desk, phlebotomists, or techs, were always warm and friendly, even at the opening hour of 5:30 a.m. The clinic operates like a well-oiled machine. Each and every employee I've had contact with was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable in their position. I've also attended nutrition meetings and a donor-egg seminar through RMA, as they have so much else to offer, to those who are struggling to conceive.

Monitoring hours are extremely fair. I usually arrived at the very start of the morning, and on some days I would not have to wait at all, while other days I've waited over 30 minutes. Patients seem to be flexible, as this tends to be the norm with open monitoring hours. It really depended on the day- if everyone had the same idea to show up at 5:30 a.m., then there'd be a wait. The staff certainly hustled and did the best they could to get all patients cycled through in a timely fashion.

I have wonderful insurance, but because we used an egg-donor, there was a substantial fee to her. We also had to pay out-of-pocket for some other services that we chose (i.e. chromosomal testing of embryos).

Dr. Forman is a young, knowledgeable and passionate physician. Your goal of parenthood will instantly become his. He does not sugarcoat issues or gloss over topics. If you have 400 questions, he will answer all of them. He is direct and matter of fact. Not everyone will appreciate his demeanor but I did.

Be patient, optimistic and trust what he is offering/doing.

Dr. FOrman and his staff were always available, day or night to answer any of my questions or concerns.

I feel that the protocol used was a standard protocol for someone whose already been pregnant naturally in my age group. Evaluation of both myself and husband. Diagnosis and treatment of potential infertility causes. Egg retrevial, icsi, culture to day 5, day 5 pgd testing, freezing ofpotential embryos and waiting for results. I am no expert but I believe this is typical.

Danielle was great for the most part. She could take a little more time with medication explanations while over the phone or send extremely detailed emails to ensure that everything is explained and understood to a patient going through this forthe first time. She did not explain the importance of genetic counseling as that created an unnecessary waiting period in an already long process.

I really had a wonderful experience. I do believe however the importance of simple acts since as smiling when a patient is being greeted by any staff memeber. Some of the front office and back office staff I encountered for morning monitoring was just plain terrible. I have been working in the medical field for 16 years and I've always smiled and greeted my patients as if they were the biggest priority I had at the given moment. Some of these ladies not so much. All of the process is grueling and emotionally as well as physically draining. The least the staff can offer is a compassionate smile.

Very easy, not long wait times. Unfriendly faces in front desk. Like smile people!!! You CHOSE your current profession and employment situation, if you don't like it then leave!

I was lucky enough to have fantastic medical coverage. We paid out of pocket for freezing embryos, acupuncture and PGD testing. We roughly paid about $6,000 in out of pocket expenses.

Dr. Forman was unlike any doctor I have ever seen in that he was extremely accessible and responsive. One thing that really stood out to me was when we had requested an update about our Day 3 embryos (we were waiting to have CCS done on Day 6 and wanted an update to see how many were still alive), the nurse who was supposed to call us was out that day unexpectedly, and so Dr. Forman emailed me personally that evening to give me an update on the embryos. That spoke volumes to me, and we were so very grateful considering we had just come out of an unsuccessful IVF cycle from a different clinic and our anxieties were extremely high. That showed me that he truly cared about our wellbeing and emotional state. In addition to answering the millions of questions we had every step of the way with such patience, Dr. Forman also provided information and options in detail so that we truly understood what to expect and what comes next. He was always realistic, but also optimistic, which helped a lot. I felt I was in great hands with Dr. Forman. He performed my egg retrieval at RMA and 2nd transfer, and I truly trusted his judgement, skill, and care. He is unforgettable and unbeatable.

Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Dr. Forman showed incredible patience with the millions of questions we had every step of the way. We never felt rushed, and he always left us feeling very comfortable to ask more questions. He was extremely responsive and always reachable, which was something we especially valued to a great degree.

I came to Dr. Forman from a different fertility clinic where I had one egg retrieval, which led to OHSS, and zero eggs to transfer. Due to the OHSS resulting from the egg retrieval at the other center, Dr. Forman modified the stim meds and protocol (using less hCG for the trigger), which resulted in a successful egg retrieval (performed by him) and absolutely no OHSS - it was night and day, the differences between the two retrievals. We had 3 CCS-tested normal embryos and we were thrilled. We transferred one of those embryos, but because of scheduling issues on our part, Dr. Forman did not perform that frozen embryo transfer. That embryo did not lead to a pregnancy, and we were getting very nervous about our future even though it's normal for an embryo not to implant. Dr. Forman spoke to us on the phone for a good 30 minutes and discussed our options and what could be done differently to try to improve our chances for the 2nd embryo. He suggested I get a hysteroscopy and D&C to make sure my uterine lining is healthy. They found that there was mild inflammation, and so an antibiotic was prescribed for 10 days to clear it. Dr. Forman also suggested that he perform the transfer this time because he is familiar with the structure of my uterus, which is definitely tilted. When it came time for the 2nd frozen embryo transfer, Dr. Forman was there and walked us through everything. He explained what was being done the entire time, and although it was a bit challenging due to the bend in my uterus, he successfully transferred the embryo, and now I am 10 weeks pregnant!

Joyce was fantastic in every way. She was thorough in her instructions and information, caring and supportive during this anxiety-ridden time, and always responded to my messages in a very timely fashion. She helped us greatly navigate some issues we had with scheduling and we always felt that she was working with us to help make this as stress-free as possible.

Strengths - nice facility and very clean. Staff was always so friendly and helpful. I have been to 3 of their locations, and they were very nice and organized. Always open and available in some capacity at any time. Central computer system makes it easy with multiple offices. I always appreciated the "no kids" policy. They acknowledge it's a very sensitive topic for people struggling with infertility, and that really stood out to us. The offices ran like a well-oiled machine - everyone knew what they were doing and everything was seamless. I never felt like a number even though at times, morning monitoring could get busy. Weaknesses - just wish morning monitoring hours went a tad later (30 minutes later) to fit better with my work schedule.

As I mentioned in a previous answer, RMA ran like a well-oiled machine. At times, it could be crowded and busy, but never unbearable. Some days they took me right away, other days, I might have to wait 20 minutes at most - it really varied. On average, I'd say I would wait 10 minutes to be taken back for blood work. The staff was always so friendly and helpful. Despite the stressful nature of everyone's reason to be there in the first place, it was a very stress-free place. My only small complaint was that I wished the weekday monitoring hours went 30 minutes later so it fit with my work schedule a little better.

Everything was in-network with my insurance plan, so I just had to pay co-pays for a couple non-monitoring/cycle-related appointments. Additional costs that were optional and not covered by insurance were for CCS, cryopreservation, and biopsy of the day-6 embryos for $4,000; an extra sperm sample that had to be frozen for about $300 I think; and we spent $200 twice for laser acupuncture on the days of my 2 transfers. Since we had already done genetic testing and counseling at the previous clinic, we were able to bypass that at RMA, so I'm not sure if there would've been a cost associated with that.

I was extremely happy with my experience at RMA having Dr. Forman as my doctor. He is a very intelligent man who put's his patients best interest first. He advices patients on the best protocol to use, while at the same time taking into consideration if they have ideas. His quick responses to email questions made this process so great knowing that if I ever needed to reach him he was always available. Because of Dr. Forman, my dreams of becoming pregnant came true and we still have 8 more tested embryos stored for the future. I could not of asked for a better experience.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you unsure of anything, reach out and Dr. Forman will be glad to explain the process with you.

Dr Forman took person care of me. I really liked that he took his time to explain the IVF process and answered our questions when we first met him and didn't rush us. He took the time at nights and weekends to email us updates on our embryos. When we had a question he always is available to respond to any questions we had too.

150 units of Gonal F, 300 units of menopur and then added ganarelix in on day 5. Stimmed for 8 days and was able to retrieve 19 eggs!

My nurse was nice. She always remembered to call and give me clear instructions on medications or what my hormone levels were.

I loved RMA. Even though they are a big practice, they still treat everyone with the care that patients want. You feels so welcomed when you walk into any office and the staff smiles at you and is very friendly. Going to monitoring often you get to know the staff and build relationships and it makes it enjoyable to wake up early to go there.

Morning monitoring always ran smoothly. Sometimes I may of waiting up to 45 minutes due to a lot of people, but most of the time I was in and out in under 30 mins. The process of getting called for blood work and then for an ultra sound worked very well. The staff was always very friendly too.

We were lucky to have insurance cover majority of the costs. We only had to pay a small co pay for each medication, PGD testing and the costs to freeze and store extra embryos.

I really couldn't have asked for a better doctor than Dr. Forman. He was the first doctor to provide me with a solution to the issues I was facing when I first became a patient of his. He was extremely dedicated to my health and well being before even starting an IVF cycle. Once I did begin the IVF cycle Dr. Forman was always available to answer my questions and would provide a response to any E-mails within minutes (even during the start of his holiday once!)

When I first became a patient of Dr. Forman, I had already seen several other doctors who did not provide me with any solutions to the unique situation I was in. Dr. Forman took the time to understand exactly what I had been going through and was the first doctor to offer me a solution. I had to undergo several procedures and each time Dr. Forman or other RMA doctors were extremely friendly and caring. Following my procedures I always received a call from my nurse who was checking in to see how I was feeling. Throughout my IVF cycle Dr. Forman was very helpful and would answer any E-mails I sent at any time of day. This truly showed me how dedicated he was to his patients. My nurse was also very dedicated during the cycle, always making sure I was clear on next steps.

I had two nurses during the two and a half years that I was a patient at RMA. Both nurses were extremely nice and always called after the several procedure that I had to see how I was feeling. Once starting the IVF cycle, my nurse was extremely helpful and clearly communicated instructions to be taken. I had many questions during the cycle and would E-mail my nurse frequently. Like Dr. Forman she would respond to all my E-mails before the end of the day.

The clinic is extremely busy during monitoring hours but they do a great job handling all of the appointments. Everyone is very friendly.

Monitoring hours are very busy especially during weekends but RMA does a great job at handling all appointments. The monitoring hours at the Morristown office were even extended by one hour to accommodate availability as patients are trying to get to work afterwards. This is another way that RMA shows how dedicated they are to their patients.

Dr. Forman has an incredible amount of knowledge, and is very skilled in explaining details of treatment options and the IVF process. As my doctor, he never made me feel like a number. He always greeted my husband and I with a smile, and showed a tremendous amount of compassion towards us and our desire to have a family. He has a warm bedside manner and understands that infertility is an emotional process. I always felt that he kept my best interest in mind, while creating his plans for treatment. When canceling a fresh transfer due to mild OHSS, Dr. Forman took the time to explain exactly why it was the best choice to have a frozen transfer instead. I always felt comfortable with our decisions, and felt that each step of the process was truly a team effort.

Be patient and trust him. Dr. Forman has a wealth of knowledge. Let him educate you, and encourage yourself to become an active part of your treatment.

Dr. Forman always treated me like an individual who mattered. He always made me feel like my health and safety were his first priority, and took time to explain each of his choices for my treatment. He was very easy to communicate with, responding rapidly to any e-mails and even calling on the phone.

I did not get my period on my own, so we started the cycle with Provera and then 14 days of BCP. After the fourth day of being off BCP, I started stimming using Follistim and Menopur, with doses changing based on blood work and ultrasound. After 4 days, I added Ganirelex. For my trigger, 36 hours before retrieval, I used 2mL Pregnyl and 40 units Lupron, and then 24 hours prior I used 40 units Lupron again. This retrieval yielded 36 eggs, 23 matured, 16 fertilized, and 10 made it to CCS/PGD. All were normal, 5 girls and 5 boys. When we canceled the fresh transfer, I waited for day 1 which came 12 days later. We did day 3 blood work which was all good, and then we waited until the next month to prep for the frozen transfer. After normal ultrasound and bloodwork, I restarted estrogen suppositories, and 18 days after starting this process, was able to have my frozen embryo transfer. This transfer happened on Nov. 29, 2015 and was successful as I am now 32 weeks pregnant with my blessing of a baby boy!

Danielle was an excellent communicator. She worked with my wacky schedule as a teacher, and if for some reason we were unable to actually talk on the phone, she left me detailed voice messages with clear instructions for medicine and explanations of my lab results. We were able to communicate primarily by phone, but also at times through e-mail.

RMA treats patients as individuals, not as numbers. During my treatment, RMA opened beginning at 5:30 for morning monitoring instead of 6:00, which was wonderful as I did not feel rushed getting to work in the mornings. I highly recommend you arrive a few minutes before 5:30 so that you could be one of the first for blood work and ultrasound. This way, you do not need to worry about getting to work on time. The office staff was always pleasant. The phlebotomists were quick, personable, and painless. The staff worked to make each morning as pleasant of an experience as possible, and seemed to value the time of each patient. I honestly cannot think of any weaknesses- the whole operation is comprised of miracle workers :)

Morning monitoring at RMA is a well-oiled machine. After checking in after the doors were first opened, it usually took just minutes to be called back for bloodwork. If an ultrasound was available first, the staff would place you in a room and ask you to do blood work afterwards. When at Morristown, I would always get a call with my results by the early afternoon, and if I needed to go to Basking Ridge instead, a call with my results would be made at some time during the morning. The staff at RMA know what they are doing, and work to make sure everyone is able to have a stress-free, quick morning.

I was very lucky to have IVF covered under my insurance. Out of pocket, I paid for my medicines, and for costs associated with PGD testing and embryo freezing.

Dr. Forman was extremely informative and went over all possible treatment options. He made the process as easy as possible and followed up with us frequently. I was comforted in knowing that he is extremely knowledgeable in what he does and I put all my trust in him to help me. I couldn't be happier with my experience. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant.

It is important to have patience with the whole process. If things get delayed for one reason or the other, there is a good reason for it and let Dr. Forman help you make educated decisions.

Dr. Forman reached out numerous times throughout the cycle to make sure that I was ok and if I had any questions. He answered all my questions and checked up on me frequently.

I started 1 menopur and 200 Gonal -F on February 1, 2016 for 3 days. It increased to 2 menopur and 225 Follism for 6 days. 2 days before egg retrieval, I used 555iu Pregnyl and 40 iu Leuprolide. Egg retrieval was on February 12, 2016., with 15 eggs retrieved. 14 eggs were mature and 6 embryos survived to day 5. Embryos were tested and ended up with 5 frozen embryos. On March 22, 2016, I started medrol, doxycycline, and progesterone shots. One embryo was transferred March 27th, 2016. Positive pregnancy test on April 5, 2016. Last day of progesterone shots was May 4, 2016 and endometrin gel was used for 14 days. Currently 15 weeks pregnant.

Communication was mostly through voicemail She was always quick to return any phone calls. She always left detailed messages of treatments and blood work/ultrasound appointments.

The clinic is extremely organized. Sometimes I had to go to Basking Ridge and Morristown, each facility was well maintained and the staff were extremely friendly at both places.

Ultrasound and blood work appointments were handled efficiently. I was there no longer than 30 minutes for both ultrasounds and blood work and sometimes it was less than 10 minutes for blood work. I never felt like I was just a number, but rather I felt like a patient and everyone during the early morning monitoring hours were polite and friendly.

Insurance covered up to $10,000. I paid out of pocket, approximately $940 for egg retrieval, $4,300 for PGD testing, and $3,875 for FET.

Dr.Forman provided us with results every time. I've been to other clinics in NY, NJ and across the world and there is no comparison. Dr. Forman always greeted us with a smile and always laid out the facts and clearly communicated the details. He always presented us with options and allowed us to choose. I'm extremely lucky to have worked with Dr. Forman. I recommend him to everyone I meet. He was very attentive to our needs through out the process. Dr. Forman made us feel like we were important to him and he cared about our success. He didn't make use feel like a text book case but rather catered to our specific needs.

He knows what he is doing.

Dr. Forman was very through with details and always responsive with our questions. We never felt rushed. He cared about our success.

I don't recall all of the protocol details. What I do remember is even if he was out he would still review my test results and recommend any changes if needed.

The RMA staff in general are phenomenal. Always pleasant and compassionate. Always called me back with results on a timely fashion. Always felt like I was in good hands even when primary nurse was out of the office. The best thing that worked for me is the ability to reach the nurse via email when needed.

RMA is the best place I've been to. I've been to many clinics in the U.S. and overseas. There is no place like RMA. Out of all the places I went to I only saw results at RMA. The staff is extremely friendly and the doctors are very knowledgeable. Always felt like I was in good hands. I love the RMA atmosphere. It is very important to feel comfortable in the office and the exam room while you are going thru the process and RMA definitely made me feel comfortable and important

You do not wait long at RMA. "Monitoring" is organized and goes quick. I've been to other places where we ended up waiting for hours for monitoring. Not at RMA. RMA knows what they are doing. I feel like they have researched and know how to do things best.

Costs are reasonable for the service and atmosphere they provide.

As per sharef before, I thin the most valuable attribute Dr Forma. Has is his ability to analyze the set backs we had and be able to recommend the best treatment based on science. I really loved this approach as my husband and I like data based decisions and Dr Forman was always very transparent about the options he put in front of us. For example, today I'm pregnant because he recommended this study from a clinic in Spain where they seem to have really solved the endometrian factor..to me it definitely makes sense that not every woman is the same and he recommended a test to determine how receptive and when my uterine linen would be more likely to have an embryo implanted..he recommended this after 2 failed transfers with normal PGD tested embryos, which was very disappointing. Again he recommended and gave us the resources of articles and data to make our decision..I'm really glad ge offered it. My experience with him was beyond positive! I absolutely trusted his judgement and recommendations as I always felt he was not just trying random, but really taking the time to think about us as individuals and not just a number or statistic, if he had he probably would have told us to just try egg donor, but he knew we didn't want that. I have a hard time finding a weaknes in Dr Forman. He really is a very special Doctor and not only because my positive experience with him but also because I know all the other RMA based nurses and personel that I ineracted with RMA would always had a nice thing to say about him. He is just a caring person.

I woukd tell then to be prepared to ask questions. DR Forman is very smart and would most of the time have a very rational answer. He does a very good job explaining difficult medical terminology.

We were blessed to have Dr Forman as our Doctor. We went through very difficult times and he was always very optimistic while at the same time staying true to science based data to help us make decisions on his recommended treatment solutions. He was very kind and responsive to all the 100 questions or more that I would have. He really made the process much more bearable. I have been always impressed with how much he cared for me..he woukd always be alert to any emails I would have with questions. He never gave up on us. Other Doctors I'm sure would have taken us through the path of egg donor but he persisted and we tried many times until now I'm very happy pregnant 12 weeks with my own eggs and my husband sperm. He recommended all sorts of testing but always presenting us with very good science based rationale, which I loved because I never felt he was just trying any random thing. He really spent the time to think thoroughly the best course of treatment, sharing with me literature to understand better his recommendations. I absolutely loved his appproach and really think all his patients are very lucky to have him as their Doctor. Even in the moments when we were close to give up, he gave us hope and helped us through the very painful and emotional process. We still have a long way to go to have a baby in our arms but I know now that Dr Forman was able to figure out what worked for us. We will for ever be grateful to him!!! I feel I'm out of words to thank him..he shoumd feel very proud and happy to know he made our lives happier!!!

The first one was a natural cycle.he mentioned I could participate in the study. After 2 failed egg retriveal cycles where I got no good embryos he mentioned that it is believed that naturally some woman can produce perfectly normal embryos. We tried and we obtained 1 perfect normal embryo (PGD normal) After 2 failed transfers of PGD normal embryos he suggested again to do a ERA a test that determines the receptivity of uterine linen. He shared the research from the clinic insm Spain and also explained very well how it woukd work and was also very transparent of the potentisl results and how it's not normal practice and RMA so it was purely experimental, but his rationale, which I share and agree is that I would not be loosing anything, besides just the money for the test, which we were willing to pay after evrything we had been through. And the results were absolutely amazing as thanks to that I'm today 12 wks pregnant.

Christine was absolutely adorable! Always very responsive and attend to my questions. Very good at following up with my Doctor on all my needs. She would always explain very well all the things I needed to know about medicationa or tests and schedule.. very nice approach and mellow personality.

While I have to say overall my experience with this clunic was positive, I cant miss to point out a big issue: the financial team..I'm sorry but very mediocre. I had 3 different financial coordinators of which only 1 was excelent and she left RMA, which I almost cried when I found out. The the other one I got was pretty much useless. They really need to work on this area. The financial burden adds a lot of stress to the process and I dont think they have the most qualified financial profesionals, neither they are very caring for the patients. Again I only had one that seemed to care for me. I had one that actually kind of insulted me once. Other than that, complementary care is great! I have been doing acupuncture witb Marc Passman and he is absolutely adorable and knowledgeable about all fertility topics so he has made the process really greay for me. I really appreciat his care also!

Very positive all the time. No issues.

Honestly...would have to look at all my 100 pages of receipts for OOO expenses. Overal i was lucky to be covered by insurance but after trying for so many years I exhauste it and also we did PGD testing which is very expensive. In total I'm about not at a total of aprox $40,000. A LOT!!

Dr. Forman was a great doctor. My husband and I felt very comfortable with him, and trusted his advice along the way. Dr. Forman was very good in covering all the positive outcomes of each step, as well as preparing us for all the negative outcomes that could also happen. We appreciated his honest, professional advice and preparation. If I ever had a question for Dr. Forman, he would always respond quickly and with all the information I would need. Especially when I was nervous to start my injectable medication, and nervous I was going to do it wrong, Dr. Forman was quick to respond to my email and answer every question I had. Dr. Forman was compassionate throughout every step we had to take, and would follow up with every procedure. The roughest call that my husband and I had was when Dr. Forman called to tell us that only one of our eggs made it to the embryo stage (obviously, we were hopeful for more embryos to freeze for future use). But he was very compassionate and sympathetic on the phone, and fully described our next plan of action. In the end, the one egg was all we needed, and I am 15 weeks pregnant today! We will absolutely use Dr. Forman again for our future needs!

Trust the doctors, my husband and I did, and we were very happy with the whole process and the end result. And just remember that every patient has a different infertility experience!

Dr. Forman was very easy to talk to throughout our entire process. He was efficient and gave us all the possible outcomes that could happen regarding each step we took. He also was quick to followup with procedures to see how we were feeling.

I put a lot of trust in Dr. Forman and his trusted his professional knowledge as to which medications I should be on. He never put me on more medication that I needed, and would advise me when to stop taking certain medications.

Joyce was our nurse and called me with all my follow up information. She was also very helpful with any questions that we had, and was always quick to respond to messages.

They have their process down pat, and yes, you do feel like cattle some days. But everyone is very nice and they try to get you in and out of the doctor's office as fast as possible for you (especially regarding morning monitoring). Even though you do not see your specific doctor every morning (during morning monitoring) each doctor was very nice and was able to answer any questions that we had.

They start morning monitoring early in the morning (5:30!) to make it convenient for the patients. I appreciated that we were able to go in early every morning and it would not affect our work schedule.

Unfortunately, our insurance did not cover much of our care, but we were aware of typically how much we were going to spend at RMA.
