at my previous doctor, he over stimulated me with the trigger shot and recovery was painful and long. Rather than do this again, she [Dr. Laura Meyer] used that information and have me trigger with a belly shot rather than HCG and my recovery was a piece of cake...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.
Elisa [nurse at Greenwich Fertility] was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and approachable and anytime she had to call me with news - whether good or bad - she made the phone call bearable...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!... When I had an appointment, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. They opened early for this which was also a plus and they were very flexible with scheduling around my work calendar.
How was your experience with Laura Meyer at Greenwich Fertility and IVF Center?
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.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Laura Meyer at Greenwich Fertility and IVF Center?
...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!

Describe the protocols Laura Meyer used in your cycles at Greenwich Fertility and IVF Center and their degree of success.
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.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Greenwich Fertility and IVF Center. (Assigned nurse: Elisa Papadopoulos)
Elisa was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and approachable and anytime she had to call me with news - whether good or bad - she made the phone call bearable. She was pregnant during my treatment and teared up talking to me about how she understood how hard things were for me and she was in my corner etc. After her babies were born and my baby was born, etc. we still emailed to keep in touch because a true relationship had been formed during treatment.
Describe your experience with Greenwich Fertility and IVF Center.
Great doctors and for the most part nurses (there was always one nurse I dreaded seeing. I felt like she never drew my blood correctly and she was socially awkward asking about things you should never ask fertility patients about). Most of the staff was also great (again with the exception of one lady in billing who had poor customer service and forgot that she was dealing with hormonal women who usually get bad news). I love how they have appointments for blood and ultra sound rather than do a first come first serve policy which is always a nightmare. When I had an appointment, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. They opened early for this which was also a plus and they were very flexible with scheduling around my work calendar.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Laura Meyer at Greenwich Fertility and IVF Center.
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!
