RMA is a huge practice and was described to me as "an assembly line". It definitely feels like there are standard menus of treatment plans based on the patients' diagnoses and some patients may not like being lumped together with others. That being said, my care team was quick to alter the more standard plan to better fit my individual situation. This is also RMA's biggest strength - they know what works and what doesn't. New patients should be prepared to be told that for their situation, RMA will typically do A, B, C, etc. It can be overwhelming to have the next few months of your life planned and dumped in front of you. New patients should also be prepared to advocate for themselves if they believe their treatment plan is not customized enough for them.

Because of the size of the practice, you may not see your reproductive endocrinologist for morning monitoring or have them during your procedures. There is a schedule on their website that outlines what doctor is on what day. It all depends on your timing.

RMA is a well oiled machine, great facilities and not a lot goes wrong in their coordination. Everything is tightly controlled and well managed. Their schedules aligned well to our work schedules. One thing we wish for is that they had alt options to Basking Ridge facility for holidays and weekends.

The clinic's monitoring hours were convenient. The clinic functions like a well oiled machine in terms of the process. Completing the diagnostic test, egg retrieval and transfer. They assigned modules before the egg retrieval that would have been helpful to review while completing the diagnostic tests so that i had a better sense of what would happen next and that could have helped me figure out more questions to ask in regards to my care. There isn't a holistic approach. They do not ask about supplements and so I don't know if taking or not taking supplements impacted by results. They did not give me enough time to search for an affordable pharmacy which meant I used a recommended pharmacy. Glen Rock pharmacy is not managed well and not professional and and it caused a lot of added stress. In addition, I felt the same way about GeneScreen for genetic counseling. For a professional and renowned institution one would think they were have more professional partners/affiliations .

Very nice staff overall, efficient check in process and morning monitoring that’s long enough to get to before work. Facilities are clean and all of the doctors are made up to speed on your records before meeting with you. It could feel factory like from time to time due to the size especially when visiting the basking ridge nj office. Overall it’s a good experience and really organized.

Strengths are the early morning hours. I was able to go before work each time so I didn’t have to take any days off of work. I also liked the privacy of the Clinic, they always covered your name when other people came so everyone could keep their activities private.

Great technology and team. Facilities are fantastic and cutting edge. Always be your own advocate, but trust them. They have good experience and knowledge. Proximity to house is a huge plus, but they also have other locations that are close too.

Definitely try to be there early! Wait times can drag on Monday’s and Friday’s since it’s their busiest time. Lab techs are fantastic! Very quick and painless. I love that the Drs are the ones performing the ultrasounds so they can give you real time results.

The clinic has ample parking and is easy to get to. The office is organized. I did this during the coronavirus pandemic, and they revised their check-in protocols to accommodate new safety measures (a little later than I would have liked but I was being hyper careful weeks before it became mainstream). They remember who I am, and are friendly. The nurses were able to find my veins!!!

RMA is highly reputable, but also a very busy place. You will feel like a number and especially during morning monitoring, you will feel that the staff are just there to get you in and out. It does make sense due to the number of patients they see. The staff, nurses, and doctors are highly skilled and knowledgeable. I think RMA is the place for fertility treatment if you really want success. They are very by the book and aren't really open to new or innovative treatments right off the bat though. I would like to think with my success, there was also a little luck involved.

I think the clinic is run well and professional. At times overcrowded but It did not affect the quality and care I received. Everyone seems to know what they are doing. From doctors, nurses through billing department and front desk staff. I have to compliment the acupuncture staff, they were excellent.

They are all wonderful and would recommend them all. All the staff from the Doctors to nurses to blood work staff to staff at desk everyone was so friendly and optimistic for me. They all are supportive and rooting you for a successful pregnancy.

i think that location is smth that i didn't consider first but became very important when i had to go early in the morning for monitoring. As it was early times of the day , plus frequent visits, the close location of clinic worked very well. Secondly, front desk and nurses were absolutely wonderful. Friendly and attentive. Small setback is mondays and fridays as it is a small center so you might encounter longer wait times. But the friendly faces make the wait easier :)

There were a few long waits but these things happen. You go to the clinic a lot so it can’t be perfect timing all the time. Bring a sweater; AC can be intense. Everyone was apologetic when it took a long time during morning monitoring.
