Describe the protocols Jason M. Franasiak used in your cycles at RMA of New Jersey and their degree of success.
We started with egg retrieval immediately as he didn't feel IUI was an option for me. He tried egg retrieval twice but then felt it wouldn't be ethical to continue trying as I was a "low responder." We moved onto an egg donor which initially produced a pregnancy. I was offered acupuncture on day of transfer. The miscarriage occurred after my discharge from fertility care. Now they have placed me on probiotics/prebiotics in prep for my next transfer cycle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Samantha Columbo)
Samantha was the most understanding and compassionate nurse I have met through this process. She addressed every concern and question I had immediately, never making me wait long for information. She also allowed me to provide suggestions about how I wanted my care to be carried out and assisted in adjusting things when I requested it.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
RMA has a large set of resources available due to it's size but then sometimes appointments can be hard to get and you may have to travel a distance for some treatments depending on how close you live to the main center. They have very educated and capable staff but I often found it difficult to get someone directly on the phone.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of New Jersey.
Morning monitoring was always much earlier than I needed it to be before work. Most of the time, I had a minimal wait period in the waiting room but on occasion they got backed up.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason M. Franasiak at RMA of New Jersey.
Egg donor/retrieval cost approximately $25,000. Embryo transfer was approximately $5000. All appointments with ultrasounds were $500 and doctor's consult was $250 each time.
Describe Jason M. Franasiak's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of New Jersey.
My doctor prefers single embryo transfers due to evidence indicating it is equally successful and less harmful to the baby and the mother.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason M. Franasiak at RMA of New Jersey?
Don't hesitate to reach out to him after an appointment if you have additional questions he is great at getting back to patients.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason M. Franasiak at RMA of New Jersey?
Dr. Franasiak and my nurse explained each step of the process from the first appointment and followed up regularly even between visits to check in and make sure that I was doing ok. Before we were able to start treatment we got pregnant on our own which turned out to be ectopic but my nurse and the doctor connected with me daily to see how I was feeling and as we get ready to move forward with treatment they have been very supportive, direct and detailed
Describe the protocols Jason M. Franasiak used in your cycles at RMA of New Jersey and their degree of success.
We first saw the doctor last summer and continued to try on our own while getting the work up which took a bit longer than usual due to work conflicts then in January we learned that we were pregnant and came in for a workup because of recurring miscarriages at this time we learned it was ectopic. Dr. Franasiaks initial recommendation was methotrexate with monitoring as it was early in the pregnancy and unfortunately that didn't work and I needed a salpingectomy. The methotrexate will be out of my system by May 1st and we will be moving forward with our first cycle
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Dayna)
Dayna is thorough and compassionate she has coordinated my care so far and gets back to all of my questions by end of day. When I learned that I would need surgery she was out on vacation and the nurse filling in was great, but what stood out to me is that she even called to check in on me when she returned from her vacation.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
As a new patient you should know that the doctor and clinical staff are fantastic.
* Everyone is very responsive
* Scheduling the first appointment if you are new to infertility can be a bit
overwhelming as the front desk staff isn't the most compassionate.
* The office is always open for morning monitoring even in inclement weather
* It's easy to get an appointment

I had a health care cost and billing explanation consultation with a team member before we bagan any treatments to explain my personal health benefits, what my personal responsibilities would include, what my deductible would be, and what treatments my insurance covers before we ever began diagnostics and treatments. Everything has been exactly as described at that meeting so I knew going into this treatment what to expect and was financially prepared for the costs associated with my treatment plan.

I felt like Dr. Franasiak was with me from the beginning until the end, even when I had bleeding early on in the pregnancy. I felt like he explained things to me and was there for me even after hours.... Extremely caring, very knowledgeable, helped us reach our dream of having a baby. Explained things well, was available when needed, very professional. As a patient of IVF, treatment can be tiring and scary. I felt comfortable in Dr. Franasiaks care. I felt like I was being helped on a daily basis.
