Describe your experience with your nurse at Braverman Reproductive Immunology. (Assigned nurse: Sandra Tavares. LInda Silva, Jasmine D'Alessandro)
They were all very compassionate, helpful, always willing to talk you off the ledge if a medication didn't arrive on time or if you missed a dose, they gave instructions if you forgot what they said or forgot how to administer , or mix medications.
Describe your experience with Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
Sometimes the medicine schedule if there was a lot of medications didn't always print out the whole list. It was rare when that happened but if you ask the nurse she would double check to make sure. Most of the time if you had to go to another location they would tell you the location print the information out and it would be listed on your forms so you know where to go however if you forget you could always call and someone would always be willing to help you with whatever you needed.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jeffrey Braverman at Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
My expenses were out of network so I had coinsurance and a deductable to meet which was pretty expensive. Dr. Braverman worked with us to make it reasonable for us to try as long as we had coverage. Now that my insurance refuses to cover it we can no longer afford to try.
Describe Jeffrey Braverman's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
We had 4 embryos that we got from the 1st part of the cycle that were frozen. All 4 were thawed and I was recommended to do all of them. I was nervous but the other Dr Vidale and the embryologist explained that it would be better to put them all in because it would increase our chances and some were not as good graded.
