Oumar Kuzbari

Dr. Kuzbari is absolutely amazing. He truly cares about helping his patient's achieve their goal of parenthood. He clearly discusses the risks and benefits. He never made me feel like an inconvenience or a problem. He answered my millions of questions and even elaborated on them once I asked them. Although I haven't achieved a pregnancy yet, I am happy with the care I have received from Dr. Kuzbari.

Be prepared for open communication.

We used Gonal F, Menopur and Cetrotide. After my first cycle resulted in an unsuccessful transfer, another doctor in the practice changed my protocol slightly to have my stim longer.

I went to a satellite office, not the main office. The weekday monitoring appointments are fine. No wait, they run on time. The Saturday appointments are a little chaotic as only one office is open and we all have to go to that office, but it wasn't a long wait.

My insurance covered the majority of my treatments. With my first retrieval I was on different insurance and had to pay $400 out of pocket for the anesthesia. With my 2nd retrieval my insurance covered the anesthesia. I had to pay $500 to freeze my embryo and $300 to freeze it for 6 months.

Dr. Kuzbari made sure I understood the risk of multiples but they recommended transferring both embryos we had from our first cycle.

Although I would have preferred to have been introduced to Dr. Kuzbari from the onset of my fertility journey and to have subsequently be seen only by him, I feel grateful that I had the opportunity to be under his care as often as I was. Dr. Kuzbari remained quietly optimistic that one of those tricks up his sleeve would produce the results I so badly desired. I felt that his knowledge of current fertility practices (new age methods) was strong. He expressed such a high level of confidence in recommending the plan that he thought would be the most beneficial for me. Dr. Kuzbari always seemed genuinely happy for the smallest sign of progress or positive response. And when things didn't quite work out, he seemed just as disappointed as I was. But no matter the outcome on any given day, he made me feel supported, he inspired me to keep a positive outlook and most importantly he was not ready to give up without exhausting all possible options that might bring success!

don't hesitate to ask any question, no matter how trivial or embarrassing you may think it us. Dr. Kuzbari is very open and non-judgmental.

I went through 4 IUIs and 6 IVF cycles. I will admit, it's overwhelming and difficult to keep track of. But each step warranted a different strategy. 1st we were trying to get pregnant as 'naturally' as possible so we tried IUI. (it worked but the results were a tubal pregnancy) when we moved to IVF, the plan changed specific to the intended goal: 1st we were trying to retrieve a good quantity of quality eggs. 2nd we were preparing to thicken my uterine lining 3rd we tested to determine if my thin lining was receptive and 4th and finally, we focused on preparing my body for the frozen egg transfer The different strategies led to an increasingly better understanding of how my body was responding to different medication. The science of fertility is not always predictable but chances of success i'm sure are improved when under the care of a doctor like Dr. Kuzbari who can effectively and accurately assess results and initiate the appropriate changes.

co pays, medications (ordered through Village pharmacy) genetic testing, sperm storage, egg freezing...i estimate that from 2017 to now, we have spent $40k out of pocket

since I only produced one viable embryo I do not have comment

Dr. Kuzbari was very knowledgeable, but also willing to explain and consider information I may have brought to him- uterine biopsies, for example, to test the implantation window, even though that test doesn't usually reveal a problem. He listened, offered his expertise, and devised a plan of action. He was always willing to reassure or console.

After two failed rounds of donor egg embryo transfers, Dr. Kuzbari worked with us to test for implantation timing. It turns out we need an additional 36 hours of progesterone prep- almost unheard of, but we implanted with twins!

There were morning "monitoring hours" that were standard each day, for specific procedures, like blood draws and ultrasounds. However, I also found that they were willing to try to accommodate alternative appointments when possible.

As a NJ schoolteacher, my insurance covered the majority of my costs. There were a few tests that were out of pocket, like the implantation biopsy, and the donor fee was also out of pocket.

Given my age and previous failures, we discussed multiple embryo transfer.

Dr. Kuzbari is a caring man who is determined to do what is best flr his patients. He is candid and I prefer working w him over anyone else in the practice. He has a good bedside manner, and is patient w questions.

He is thorough and will listen to your suggestions and questions patiently and earnestly.

We began with clomid and I had a failed pregnancy with a d and e. Then we tried 2 iuis which didn't work. I got pregnant again and resulted in second d and e. Had a hysteroscopy and tried more iui. Finally did egg retrieval, pgs, icsi, and frozen transfer resulting in my daughter. Just had 2 more hysteroscopies and 2 more transfers. When they failed, we did era. Trying again now.

I had a copay every time I got blood drawn, which was expensive. I so paid about 6000 for testing and at least 1000 fir embryo storage. I have had difficulties w paying for some bloodwork

Because of mt ama, he wanted to do single transfers. He also wanted to preserve my "precious embryos."

This doctor was very kind and personal. He spoke to me honestly and sweet. He explained everything to my understanding. He was very thorough and informative. I always felt comfortable during and after our consultations. I enjoyed my experience during my treatment.

Have all your questions and concerns written down and ready to be addressed.

My treatment was to use donor embryos due to my husband's cancer treatment. We didnt have much to discuss. It was an easy process because our options were limited but optimistic.

The billing is flexible and affordable. They work with you. The transfer was $2,000 less than many clinics in my area.

They have a preference to do only single embryo transfer to the first cycle. They are open to 2 embryo transfer if the first cycle fails.

I’m so grateful for Dr.Kuzbari’s guidance and expertise. His treatment plan that he encouraged resulted in our healthy 2month old son in our first round of IVf. After multiple failed IUI’s, we are grateful for his guidance and plan. He was compassionate, professional, and communicated well.

Ask questions & do research

Standard for services

Based on how our embryos matured, he recommended 2 transfer and it was the best decision.

I went to him for a second opinion after 2 early losses and a fullterm still birth. Be recommended changing my protocol and adding blood thinners. I am very happy with his Outlook and his bedside manner. He explains everything thoroughly and makes sure I ask all the questions i have and I am so happy my friend recommended this new facility.

Always ask questions he is full of knowledge

I am going to do an era prior to another transfer. Im not sure what my protocol will be

Dr. Kuzbari always has an optimistic viewpoint and an upbeat personality. It really helps you through the heartbreaks along this journey. After two failed genetically tested transfers, my husband and I were beside ourselves. Everything looked “perfect” why was this not working? That’s when we sat down with Dr. Kuzbari and developed a new game plan. He suggested doing an ERA- Endometrial Receptivity Array- which tests the uterus to see if it is ready for implementation. Majority of woman were ready on day 5 however the test showed that I was ready at day 6 and needed the extra progesterone. That test was a game changer. Thrilled to report that the latest transfer of two embryos worked perfectly and I’m pregnant with twins!

You are with a terrific doctor who has your absolute best interest at heart.

We did two rounds of retrieval process at first. The first round only came back with one genetically healthy embryo. My husband and I decided to go right into the next round since we knew we would want more than one child in the future and I was mentally in the mood to endure another round. As previously stated in the question prior, we had two failed genetically tested transfers. My husband and myself were heartbroken. Everything looked “perfect” why was this not working? That’s when we sat down with Dr. Kuzbari and developed a new game plan. He suggested doing an ERA- Endometrial Receptivity Array- which tests the uterus to see if it is ready for implementation. Majority of woman were ready on day 5 however the test showed that I was ready at day 6 and needed the extra progesterone. That test was a game changer. Thrilled to report that the latest transfer of two embryos worked perfectly and I’m pregnant with twins! If it was not for the ERA test I would not be pregnant. Very greatful he suggested it because it is considered on the “cutting edge” of technology and not every state performs the test from my understanding. We were just so fortunate to be in the right state with the right doctor.

With blood work and ultrasound it was always scheduled before 8:45am. Very convenient if you needed to work

It was pricy. We did multiple rounds, transfers, genetic testing and the ERA test so there always seemed to be a bill in our mailbox. Hopefully our kids put us in a nice oceanfront nursing home in the future as a thank you.

We had a total of three transfers. The first two were single embryos and the third and final one was two. I was the advocate for two because I couldn’t mentally handle another potentially failed transfer. Dr. Kuzbari went over the pros and cons of having twins and I was well aware of the potential. My husband still has not fully comprehend that we are having twins but luckily he still has time on his side for it to sink in :)
