Laura Meyer

Dr Meyer took her time explaining the treatment plans and asking me how I felt about things moving forward. At times I felt she opted for the absolute most conservative approach, sometimes costing me months while waiting.

Be active in the direction of care you want to receive. Research your diagnoses and come to the table informed of ALL your options. Just because a clinic suggests one course of action doesn’t mean you need to accept it. At times I felt like I was being directed in a manner I wouldn’t have chosen had I been more informed. There are multiple protocols, make sure the dr is open minded to trying multiple till you find something that works for your body.

Antagonist protocol was used every time I cycled, with the best result the first time, average dose, yield 3 embryos. Turns out I am a poor responder (with diminished ovarian reserve). Dr opted to increase meds to max dose for 2 additional cycles with very poor results.

Cattle call with a full waiting room. Gina, the receptionist was always pleasant.

I used all my insurance with dr Meyer and had to pay out of pocket for genetic screening, some additional procedures. Copay added up over time and I think the all in cost I had in addition to my “life-time allowance” with insurance was about 10k

Dr would only do single transfer, regardless of my asking to transfer 2 embryos.

Dr.Meyer was an incredibly patient and supportive doctor. I had apprehension moving forward with IVF after my 3 failed IUIs, but she never discouraged me from trying something new, and was open to trying other options I inquired about, prior to moving forward with IVF. During the beginning stages of my IVF cycle, I went through a separate traumatic experience unrelated to my fertility. When Dr. Meyer found out from Dr.Brauer, she personally called me to ask how I was doing. I don't know any doctors that would take the time to reach out to their patients this way. I was really touched and am so appreciative for all her support.

To know that you are in safe hands, and to trust Dr. Meyer's suggestions when opting to try something different. As an example, when my first ivf transfer didn't work, Dr. Meyer suggested I try a natural cycle, based on seeing this work for patients in similar circumstances. I was nervous at first, but trusted her judgement and opted to try the crinone gel versus the progestrone shots. Now, here I am 14 weeks later in my second trimester! I'm so glad I trusted her to try something different.

My treatment based on an unexplained infertility diagnosis, involved 3 IUIs with clomid. I then requested to try Letrozole with timed intercourse. I tried Letrozole for 3 months before moving forward with IVF. For my retrieval Dr. Meyer had me take Gonal F and Menopur, which helped produce 18 eggs. 4 embryos made it to day 5 and 6, and 3 resulted in viable embryos after PGS testing. For my first frozen transfer, I took the progestrone shots which resulted in a chemical miscarriage. After my first failed attempt, Dr. Meyer suggested I try something different with my second frozen transfer, and had me try a natural cycle. She made this suggestion based on seeing success with similar patients. The natural cycle involved taking crione gel inserts 3 times daily, and 1 tablet of estrace. This attempt resulted in a positive pregnancy.

see previous comments: Dr. Meyer was our 'second opinion' doctor and with such a terrible experience at our first doctor, things could really only go up from there. Well they not only went up but they FAR exceeded our expectations. Dr. Meyer's bedside manner is amazing. She truly cares about her patients and take time out of her extremely busy day to answer any and all questions. She is approachable, kind, smart, responsible, careful, and so much more. We actually had very bad news happen at this doctor before getting our good news, but the way she handled it all was amazing; she allowed us to have the strength to go through with it all again.

...don't hold anything back - ask all of your questions as silly as you may think they are. I remember feeling bad that I was taking up all of her time every visit, but you should never feel this way. Luckily, Dr. Meyer helped me realize this!

I have a tendency to ovulate early when on all of these injections so she had me monitored more often than normal when that time was close. Turns out I was right so she had me double my dosage of ganarelix. I was grateful she listened to me and was proactive. Also, at my previous doctor, he over stimulated me with the trigger shot and recovery was painful and long. Rather than do this again, she used that information and have me trigger with a belly shot rather than HCG and my recovery was a piece of cake.

Extremely expensive...we have great insurance and it covered a LOT, but we still managed to have bill after bill! Little things were not covered like thawing but in order to transfer a frozen embryo of course you had to thaw! Things like that kept popping up for us and as I mentioned in a previous window, billing department wasn't always the most pleasant. The money was worth it in the long wrong and the doctors/nurses were so great that they made it easy to temporarily forget about the money part of things!

n/a

She is kind, compassionate and also very scientifically based. She would always call me back when I had questions and gave me all the time I needed. Only drawback is that she is so well liked and the clinic is down a doctor now so her schedule is packed

Most of your appointments will be in the tuckahoe office not Greenwich or Stamford

2 cycles with estrogen priming, 150 Gonal , 300 Menopur and then Ganirelex.added clomid With cycle 2 Poor response to first cycle and ovulated through Ganirelex. Second cycle got a lead follicle of 18 mm by Day 4, so cancelled cycle. Starting third cycle of Lupron flare with bc priming in January

Covered by my insurance (after deductible). They worked well with my insurance (conneticare )

We will PGT if we get to retrieval and only transfer 1. We do not want twins and are on the same page as dr Meyer

Dr. Meyer is warm, approachable, looks at everything from all angles and makes you feel like your health & happiness is always her top priority. She never makes you feel rushed, or judged or wants you to be in a situation where you don't feel her and the entire RMA team's support. She is hands-down the best medical professional I have had the privilege to lead my care in my 45 years.

Do not be afraid to be direct with her, tell her what you REALLY want and need, she will absolutely listen to you and will not brush off your questions or diminish your concerns. Give it to her straight, and even if she comes back to you with low percentages, or predicts challenges in/for your journey, know that she will always do her best to help you overcome the odds + anything that might stand in your way to make sure you become, a mom/parent etc!

Follicle stimulation, donor sperm, egg retrieval, PGS testing, frozen embryo transfer!

Roughly $10,000 for an IVF cycle plus PGS testing.

It did not seem like Dr Meyer would have utilized anything other than a single embryo transfer based on my age and protocol.

Overall a good doctor. Still definitely just starting out her practice and a bit cautious (very inclined to try less invasive procedures for longer than others). With time and experience, expect her to be fantastic.

Be clear about what you want to achieve and how aggressive you want to be with your treatment

Dr. Meyer was kind, trustworthy and patient with all of our questions. She never treated me like I was just a number. She actually seemed to care if we had a set back and she showed excitement when we became pregnant. She called me after I gave birth and asked that we bring our daughter to the office so she can meet her. If I had to go through fertility treatments all over again I would see Dr. Meyer without a doubt.

Trust the process

Dr. Meyer has a strong recommendation to transfer only one embryo instead of multiple because of health risks for the multiples.

I would highly recommend Dr. Meyer to family and or friends. She is a fabulous doctor who proceeds with respect for her patients and for the human body. I would without hesitation go back to her for future fertility treatments. She is a doctor you can trust and one of a kind.

Ask questions as she is open and honest and will take the time to answer them. Trust that she has your best interest at heart.

I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility, so Dr. Meyer recommended a progressive approach. Tried IUI, was unsuccessful, then proceeded to IVF. Did two retrievals before transfer and I am currently carrying an active and healthy pregnancy. When I requested to proceed with the transfer without additional hormones, Dr. Meyer was respectful of that. I always felt that she worked within my level of comfort and preferences while guiding me to facilitate the best outcome.

Most was covered by insurance with the exception of the PGS, for which the full amount was out of pocket.

Dr. Meyer appropriately weighed risks and advised on SET.
