we actually never even met him [Dr. Weckstein] until my first transfer. He did not set expectations or even communicate the specifics of what our embryo quality and development was. He didn’t change anything from our first failed transfer to the second...He claimed we did the “most aggressive” protocol. Gonal F, Menopur Both transfers were medicated, estrogen 3x/day, progesterone shots and suppositories and day 6 transfers...He’s not really involved and you need to have a very hands on case manager to feel even remotely heard...
Every time you walk in for an appointment [at Reproductive Science Center] the front desk doesn’t look up and rudely asks “DOB”, hold a thermometer to your forehead and tell you to sit. You get passes from room to room, nurse to Dr and no one makes eye contact or small talk to shows an ounce of compassion for the journey you are on...EndomeTrio and Receptiva DX order by Dr and performed by Nurse who mid procedure admitted she “wasn’t prepared for the second catheter biopsy” She ended up having to scrape my uterus 3 extra times because she couldn’t gather enough tissue because the first swipe took too much...
How was your experience with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?
Initially we liked him because he seemed to have good bedside manner. But we actually never even met him until my first transfer. He did not set expectations or even communicate the specifics of what our embryo quality and development was. He didn’t change anything from our first failed transfer to the second. He suggested we do the Endometrio after the second but in his notes backpedaled and said he suggested it earlier, which is false. He had a nurse do this procedure when all other clinics the Dr does this. He was completely unapologetic after the procedure was done incorrectly and essentially brushed us off saying that “ he’s sorry he can’t give us the care we are expecting”
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?
He’s nice but doesn’t do well with confrontation or having to back up his failed work. He’s not really involved and you need to have a very hands on case manager to feel even remotely heard

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center. (Assigned nurse: Heather)
She was on PTO when assigned to us and had no coverage. Zero communication for over 3 weeks. Didn’t assign us the necessary modules and classes to learn the injections until the night of our first shots. Was so stressed from her lack of communication we requested to switch case managers midway through our stimulation.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center.
Zero strengths. Front desk rude and never prepared with the appropriate paperwork or fees. So many nurses all with attitude and no empathy or social skills. Passed from Dr to Dr and nurse practitioner performing procedures that should be done by Dr.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Reproductive Science Center.
EndomeTrio and Receptiva DX order by Dr and performed by Nurse who mid procedure admitted she “wasn’t prepared for the second catheter biopsy” She ended up having to scrape my uterus 3 extra times because she couldn’t gather enough tissue because the first swipe took too much. She then left the room to find a Dr to ask if she got enough sample, leaving me on the table in excruciating pain for 10 minutes. Clinic didn’t have the appropriate paperwork ready that was needed for the biopsies to go out. My most recent ultrasound showed polyps and tissue caused from the Nurse’s aggressive scraping
