Dr.Rausch seems nice and she is data driven. I appreciate how she does not sugar coat and she will tell you how it is. I just wished her communication between patients was more accessible...The three failed transfers that I had, Dr.Rausch never called me. The nurse called to give results. And when I wanted to speak with Dr.Rausch I needed to make an appointment with her.
The clinic seems very disorganized. Very difficult get someone on the phone. You call and leave messages and they call you back hours later. Lots of phone tag. Sometimes I don't even get a return call till the next day. They also don't check their email daily so if you email them you may not get a response till days later...Be prepared to ask questions and advocate for yourself. No one will hold your hand there. If you are not on top of them, you will get lost.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Northwell Health (FKA North Shore Long Island Jewish).
For my first FET I was doing a natural transfer. I've been going to the clinic daily for morning monitoring and bloodwork and not one person mentioned to me I will need supplemental progesterone. So the day before transfer which was a Saturday, a covering nurse calls to tell me to start progesterone that night and by that time, my pharmacy was closed. So I was unable to start the progesterone that evening.
There was another incident with my third medicated FET when I was unable to answer the phone regarding my PIO dose and when I called back the nurse wasn't sure if I needed 1ml or 1.5ml.
Also when I had RPL labs drawn,my initial results came back abnormal but they repeated 2 days later and the results were normal.. so it must have been a lab error.
You will not view results, there is no portal. And they do not email you results unless you ask for it everytime.
We never got results from my husband second semen analysis until I had another consult with Dr.Rausch few months later.
I was also never told I had a chaotic embryo till months later.
