How was your experience with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

After two years of TTC, my husband and I decided to seek a new fertility clinic. To our discovery we found NYU Langone in Stony Brook, NY. So, we did some of our own research and we contacted them. We were able to schedule an appointment within days! This came by such a pleasant surprise as our previous clinic we had to wait weeks to be seen but not NYU Langone. My husband and I have been patients at NYU Langone for a year now. Our fertility doctor is Rani B. Fritz PhD, DO and we are incredibly thankful to have the opportunity to work with him to aid in starting our family. We immediately loved how thorough, empathetic, and available Dr. Fritz is and continues to be during this pandemic despite our treatment currently placed on hold. He demonstrates excellent communication with us and ensures we understand any risks thoroughly before committing to treatment. During our time working with Dr. Fritz, he has discover some concerns with myself that were not accessed with our previous clinic. We found out that I have elevated prolactin levels in this discovery it was followed up with a two MRI’s (with and without contrast) which, showed I have a tumor near my pituitary gland. I was always contacted by Dr. Fritz himself to review all our results, very personable. Every apportionment we had, we sat together and discussed what we were going to do next, the time frame, and Dr. Fritz made this stressful, scary, exciting experience become an easy process to follow. These are just a few examples of how thorough and effective Dr. Fritz recommendations are. Additionally, Dr. Fritz addressed all our questions I may even asked the same question on a few occasions and he would simply answer in a manner that made us feel equal. Prior to the cancelation our our treatment, Dr. Fritz contacted me to discuss changes in their policy to ensure the safety and well-being of us and his other patients. When the time came to canceling our upcoming treatment, Dr. Fritz was extremely empathetic and reassuring. At this time we are unfortunately not able to continue our treatment but we are doing our best to remain hopeful and we look forward to continuing our fertility journey with Dr. Fritz.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

My advice to future potential patients is to ensure you and your partner attend the appointments together especially the first appointment. This is to ensure that during your appointments both individuals receive treatment in timely manner. For example, the first appointment my husband and I had blood work drawn. If one individual is not present this could delay future treatment and we all know how long we’ve all waited to begin effective treatment also our time valuable!! This also gives couples the perfect opportunity to ask as many questions with Dr. Fritz which can be done during all your appointments but the first is the launch of where you are and what Dr. Fritz recommends.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Describe the protocols Rani Fritz used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

During two fasting blood withdrawals it was discovered that I have elicited prolactin levels. As a result, Dr. Fritz recommended two MRI’s (with and without contrast). The results showed that I have a tumor near my pituitary gland and I was prescribed to take half a tablet of .5mg (twice a week) of Caberglone. Taking this has relieved some of my symptoms including head aches and tension. Another medication was also prescribed to me, 5000U/VL of Novarel was delivered by mail along with necessary items such as, alcohol swabs, bio hazard container, and needle. I have not utilized this medication as I wanted to see if the Caberglone medication would aid in conceiving naturally. It has not and I was not told that it would I just held hopes that my cause of infertility were due to my levels.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

The nursing staff are warm and welcoming. I appreciate when calling patients inside they ensure to practice HIPPA by calling us last name only. Any time I had a question about when to schedule my next appointment on a specific cycle day they were able to assist and ensured availability.

Describe your experience with NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

The strengths of this clinic is everyone effectively communicates and works together in a cohesive manner. The waiting area is warm and welcoming, the rooms and l office areas are clean and well organized. My only concern is the billing room/office is located across from the waiting area/exiting door. Although they have their own door and the waiting area has TVs on I feel the office could benefit from a sound machine in that area.

Review of

Rani Fritz NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York

He [Dr. Fritz] reviewed all of my records and explanations as to what happened with my prior clinic, gave me a timeline of testing and treatment, explained my diagnosis, and monitored me very carefully throughout my IVF cycle. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel badly for asking many questions, even if some were repeats. He recognized I was in a very difficult situation, always took the time to explain our options, and gave his recommendations as well...

NYU was great overall. The insurance coordinator was communicative regarding my insurance issues and the medication coordinator was good, although sometimes I had to follow up regarding my medications and refills. The wait-times for monitoring were not bad and you see all three doctors who practice in the Brooklyn office as they work on different days. Just note for any procedures (retrieval, transfer) you have to go to the Long Island office...

I would highly recommend Dr. Fritz. He reviewed all of my records and explanations as to what happened with my prior clinic, gave me a timeline of testing and treatment, explained my diagnosis, and monitored me very carefully throughout my IVF cycle.

Ask a lot of questions! Especially regarding potential side effects of treatment/procedures.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Dr. Fritz understood I was in a very dire situation as I had just come from another clinic with failed after failed treatment. He took the time to explain his hypothesis of my diagnosis, the testing he wanted to do, and his proposed course of action. He answered all of my questions along the way and didn't set unrealistic expectations.

Describe the protocols Rani Fritz used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

We did an IVF cycle using menopur, GonalF, and Cetrotide/Ganirelix. I was put on a low dose b/c of my diagnosis and was monitored very closely. The hyper-stimulation lasted about three weeks until my egg retrieval. We then froze embryos, did genetic testing, and did an artificial transfer.

Describe your experience with your nurse at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York. (Assigned nurse: Elena Longoria)

Elena and the rest of the team was very good at checking in with me every visit, both physically and emotionally, and making sure I understood my progress. She answered my questions (whether in-person or via email) and reached out when I wasn't feeling well or had an urgent question.

Dr. Fritz was so thorough with his explanations. No question was discouraged. His consultations, whether on the phone, virtually, or in person, were never rushed. He gets to know all his patients and their situations very well...He is a solutions oriented person and you can tell his treatment plans are well thought out and individualized. Infertility is very difficult, but with him I always felt like I had someone that valued my time and efforts. His presence is also so calming...

I loved that Elena [nurse at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York] always sent me message with injection protocols and other information I needed via the NYU Symantec Encryption Server. I got an mail alert about it and was able to refer to these emails at anytime...Monitoring was done before 10AM. It was great and allowed me to get to my job quickly...

How was your experience with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Dr. Fritz is the best doctor I have ever met. He is a solutions oriented person and you can tell his treatment plans are well thought out and individualized. Infertility is very difficult, but with him I always felt like I had someone that valued my time and efforts. His presence is also so calming. Until I starting seeing Dr. Fritz, I didn't realize how important this characteristic is.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Be on time for the Brooklyn appointments. Take public transportation (subways) there. The traffic there is bad. They do monitoring until about 9:45am.

Injections to increase egg production. Injections to prevent ovulation. Injection to release for retrieval. Progesterone before an ERA test and then before and after transfer to produce receptivity.

I loved that Elena always sent me message with injection protocols and other information I needed via the NYU Symantec Encryption Server. I got an mail alert about it and was able to refer to these emails at anytime. I always kept my laptop screen open when I was taking all these injections. I hate when doctor's offices only do phone calls. It's so easy to hear something incorrectly or misunderstand what is said. I love that Elena always sent messages in this way.

Describe your experience with NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

It was very good to have an office in Brooklyn. It was very easy for me to hop on a train to get to work later. They had a good bathroom and filtered water and cups available. Sometimes you will see other doctors instead of Dr. Fritz. They take turns since Brooklyn is more of a satellite office. The other two doctor there are also good though - Dondick, Goudas.

Dr. Fritz, from our first appointment, was extremely thorough, with what test we would need to do and what our next steps would be. In addition he would explain to my husband and I what the success rates where so we didn’t put additional pressure on ourselves...I felt absolutely comfortable and open to share all of my concerns about each test or procedure. Even when I was unsure of what I wanted to do Dr. Fritz did not pressure us to make a decision...

Dr. Fritz and his entire team [at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of NY] all were on the same page and made every visit more than comfortable. As a new patient I would say come with all of your questions and the entire staff would assist you...Elena was my primary nurse and like Dr. Fritz she was thorough about the plan he had in place. Elena emailed and/or after every visit once my blood work was returned. In addition if I needed clarification on medication or dosage she was available. Elena was patient and always positive. In addition Laverne was the only nurse within the whole RSNY that made the multiple injections all seem like a pinch

I felt absolutely comfortable and open to share all of my concerns about each test or procedure. Even when I was unsure of what I wanted to do Dr. Fritz did not pressure us to make a decision. During our first transfer we weren’t successful and Dr. Fritz went back to the drawing board and tweaked out a better plan for us. And his plan worked, we are pregnant! My last day with Dr. Fritz was bitter sweet. We are ecstatic about our pregnancy yet sad that it would be our last day coming to his office. In addition Dr. Fritz didn’t just send us off. He sent us with a detailed plan in addition to notes for my ob-gyn.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

First we decided to get a few test done and Dr. Fritz suggest we do an ERA and I remember telling him my lining is good. Boy was I wrong after our first transfer failed. I decided to do the ERA which gave Dr. Fritz a more precise day to transfer the embryo. Which worked, we also got the PGA done on all embryos to make sure the embryo we chose to transfer was healthy. Dr. Fritz also suggested we do ICIS I’m not sure of the name of the test but it was a way of obtaining the nest sperm from my husband sample and mixing it in a specific machine.

Rani Fritz NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York

Dr. Fritz was very kind, warm, knowledgable, and comforting. From the initial consult, he took the time to explain the egg freezing process in detail and answered all my questions. Nothing ever felt rushed. He was always accessible by email to answer questions I had along the way. Knowing that I was very nervous going into this egg retrieval, he called me after the procedure to check in and discussed how many eggs we froze....

They [nursing staff at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of NY] went over all the details, made sure I felt comfortable giving myself the medications, and called me to review my results and let me know what dose of medications to take. Although they are busy at times, I did not feel rushed and felt that they got to know me...great location, great doctors, great nursing staff, clean and comfortable atmosphere, great communication. The office is easily accessible by public transportation...Busy at times, but they run efficient.

I always felt like I was in good hands with Dr. Fritz.

Knowing that I was very nervous going into this egg retrieval, he called me after the procedure to check in and discussed how many eggs we froze. The wait to have my ultrasounds and blood work was never very long and the nurse and assistant drawing my blood were always very pleasant and personable.

Describe the protocols Rani Fritz used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

He first started me on birth control for about 1 week. After the birth control he started me on two separate injection medications (Menopur and Gonal F). After a couple of days on those injections he started a third injection called Cetrotide to prevent me from releasing my eggs. Twenty eggs were retrieved, of which 18 were able to be frozen.

Dr Fritz always took the time to answer our questions and concerns thoroughly and kindly.

The online portal makes communication with the nursing staff [at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists] very easy and accessible.

How was your experience with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

As many women suffering with fertility issues can relate, my journey to motherhood has been complicated with some major losses and setbacks. As a result, the whole process has been particularly difficult and full of anxieties and a difficult time trusting all health professionals. Before I found Dr. Fritz, we had seen a few other doctors and left their care secondary to either cancelled cycles, negligence, and even rudeness. Meeting Dr Fritz was a breath of fresh air. His knowledge, patience, and kindness are unparalleled. He is extremely thorough and ensures every i is dotted and every t is crossed. He truly cares about our well-being and success. I felt he was always in our corner and cheering us on towards success as well as guiding us there.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Feel comfortable to be yourself to Dr. Fritz. He is kind, humble, and open. I would often apologize because I would ask 100 questions each visit and one visit he looked at me and said, " I would never be offended by your questions. In fact ask away. You have never seen me on the opposite end, I would be asking just as many questions if it were the other way around." This comment in particular stood out to me because it made me feel like we could relate and that he truly understood my fears.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

After a long and difficult road to pregnancy, I have become a very OCD and rather "difficult" patient. Dr Fritz always took the time to answer our questions and concerns thoroughly and kindly. Even if he was not in the office at the time of my exam or scans, I could always count on a phone call later that day to discuss the results and questions directly with him. Dr Fritz has given us several ways to contact him to discuss questions or concerns and even replies on his days off. Dr Fritz is one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable doctors out there.

Describe the protocols Rani Fritz used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

My case was particularly challenging secondary to diminished ovarian reserve and other complications. Dr Fritz was confident in his choices and because of him we were able to obtain 7 PGS tested embryos with an AMH of .7. Dr Fritz was open to using HGH at my request (which yielded no additional success) but I was happy that he was open to suggestion and input. In addition to the retrievals Dr Fritz performed multiple ERA procedures until the optimal receptivity period was identified. He is precise, thorough, and research based.

The online portal makes communication with the nursing staff very easy and accessible. If any questions came up, I was able to leave a message and was contacted in a couple of hours. The phone system was busy at times but I could always reach Dr Fritz via email or phone.

Describe your experience with NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

The clinic as a whole is good. It is however extremely busy. I believe it is busy because it has physicians like Dr. Fritz that are compassionate and thorough. Be prepared to wait at times but rest assured when you are seen you will get the Dr.'s full attention and care. I can also speak about the really positive experiences I had when dealing with Dr Sung and Dr Saketos. I felt like everyone including the front desk staff, the phelbotomists, Chris the lead US tech (she deserves absolute recognition for her skill, kindess, and expertise), nurses, and egg retrieval teams were fabulous. I was able to form so many nice relationships with this staff that really helped on the "difficult days". Kindness goes a long way.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

Insurance covered almost all services except PGS testing

Describe Rani Fritz's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

After hearing the risks from Dr Fritz regarding multiple embryo transfers I was only interested in eSET.

Dr. Fritz is kind and personable. He made sure to listen and explain everything every step of the way. During the initial consultation (which was a telehealth visit due to covid), he laid out all of our options, the pros and cons, and what steps they entailed. We ended up choosing IUI over IVF and he was very supportive of our decision. He made sure to run extensive tests prior to the IUI to ensure the best chances of success, with a healthy baby. He was genuinely so happy for us when the first IUI try was a success!

We utilized Letrozole (to stimulate egg growth) and Cabergoline (to level out my imbalanced prolactin levels) pills prior to the IUI. We also had a trigger shot on hand in case the at home ovulation test showed no LH surge - but did not need it.

Dr. Fritz welcomed my partner and I with open arms. His goal was always our goal. On sonograms, he would write cute notes for us as well.

Rani Fritz NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York

[Dr. Rani Fritz] spoke to me in a way that made me feel that I was an active participant in my care and treatment course...His demeanor when he walks into a room automatically calms the air and when he counsels you, you automatically feel at ease with the journey that you're about to embark on...clearly explained to me the risks, benefits, and alternatives in a manner that was easy for me to comprehend.

They [Nurses at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York] are THE team that I would want at every doctor's office. Each person had a specific job, but everyone worked together and helped each other when needed. They made their patients feel like a part of a family. I didn't feel like just another patient in the office. Every part of the team knew the name of every patient (without looking). I don't know how they do it-- but they did!

How was your experience with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Dr. Fritz was a physician that understood the pains and frustrations of why patients need to see an infertility specialist. His demeanor when he walks into a room automatically calms the air and when he counsels you, you automatically feel at ease with the journey that you're about to embark on. He spoke to me in a way that made me feel that I was an active participant in my care and treatment course. He clearly explained to me the risks, benefits, and alternatives in a manner that was easy for me to comprehend.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

I would write down all my questions and not feel afraid to ask them. Don't think that you're wasting all of Dr. Fritz's time with all the frivolous questions-- he is there to answer all of them. He certainly answered ALL of mine. And if there's an answer that I didn't understand, I'd ask my question again.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Dr. Fritz tailored his explanation to the patient and didn't use jargon that was unfamiliar. He took the time to re-explain things that I didn't understand. He understood the frustrations that I was having and he validated them while giving me viable solutions and treatment plans for my husband and I. His treatment plans were understandable and clear.

Describe the protocols Rani Fritz used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

I did IUI for several cycles and we spoke and prepared for possible IVF. However, I never started IVF as we were able to achieve our desired result.

Describe your experience with your nurse at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York. (Assigned nurse: Elena Langoria)

Elena, Lishon, and Laverne were phenomenal. They are THE team that I would want at every doctor's office. Each person had a specific job, but everyone worked together and helped each other when needed. They made their patients feel like a part of a family. I didn't feel like just another patient in the office. Every part of the team knew the name of every patient (without looking). I don't know how they do it-- but they did!

Describe your experience with NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

This clinic was warm, welcoming, and understanding. I came to see Dr. Fritz for a specific reason and I left understanding what the problems were, how we were going to address my infertility, and ultimately I achieved my desired result. Furthermore, the nurses and the rest of the care team were just phenomenal. It didn't feel like I was just another patient walking into a cold sterile clinic. I was person that needed help and I walked into a clinic that was warm, understanding, and empathetic to my needs.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

We initially had problems with our insurance and paperwork. And the thought of the costs associated with fertility treatments were daunting. Furthermore, I also received a bill from insurance (in error) that was was quite unnerving. Luckily, Elena was able to help me with my bill and the financial issues with insurance. Furthermore, while we were considering IVF, she was able to put me in contact with the financial counselor prior to starting IVF to ensure that we wouldn't have any surprise bills in the future. She really went above and beyond her job title to help put me at ease with such a stressful aspect of infertility care.

Rani Fritz NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York

Dr. Fritz is kind, compassionate, and took the time to get to know our specific situation before deciding on a treatment plan...He listened to our concerns, made a plan specific to our needs, and was ready to alter that plan as needed throughout our treatment...suggested an ERA to ensure my transfers were done at the proper timing. He also performed a hysteroscopy to remove polyps. I had a history of difficult embryo transfers, so Dr. Fritz did a trial transfer and also decided to have an anesthesiologist on standby, which was not needed during my transfer because he had completed the trial transfer and knew exactly how to avoid previous issues I had had with my other doctors.

They [NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of NY] can sometimes be a bit disorganized (i.e. two different staff members giving different answers to a question) but most issues were minor and this was the most efficiently run clinic of the 3 we had been to...On occasion we got different answers from staff, but each instance was a minor detail. We never had any major issues or anything that interfered with or delayed treatment in any way.

How was your experience with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Dr. Fritz is kind, compassionate, and took the time to get to know our specific situation before deciding on a treatment plan. We had seen 2 doctors previously who seemed to just be checking items off a list, without regard to whether it was working for us, and Dr. Fritz was the exact opposite. He listened to our concerns, made a plan specific to our needs, and was ready to alter that plan as needed throughout our treatment.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Express any concerns with him, and he will surely assuage any fears you might have.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Dr. Fritz has the best bedside manner of all doctors we've met in our 4 year fertility journey. He took the time to really understand our specific situation, and built a treatment plan around our needs, never relying on a cookie cutter plan.

Rani Fritz NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York

[Dr. Fritz] always took the time to answer all of our questions and ensure we were completely aware of every part of our treatments and all of our treatment options. He always made himself available for questions by email or by phone. We never felt rushed or left a consult or conversation without a full understanding of what the next steps were in our treatment.

The nursing staff [at NYU Langone] was excellent...they were compassionate and although the clinic seemed busy at times, I never felt rushed. They always took their times to answer my questions and walked me through my treatment...Their monitoring hours begin at 6:30AM, so it was never a problem for me to get to work on time during my treatment cycles.

How was your experience with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Dr. Fritz is an excellent doctor and came highly recommended from a friend. He always took the time to answer all of our questions and ensure we were completely aware of every part of our treatments and all of our treatment options. He always made himself available for questions by email or by phone. We never felt rushed or left a consult or conversation without a full understanding of what the next steps were in our treatment. The fertility process was very stressful and there is a lot of uncertainty, but his warmth, detail oriented, and compassionate nature made us feel very comfortable and confident under his care.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

You are in excellent hands. Do not hesitate to ask questions, even if they seem simple. He will always take his time to ensure you have a full understanding of the treatment and will never rush you.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

Dr. Fritz came highly recommended from a friend. From his initial consultation, my husband and I immediately felt comfortable with the care we received. He always made an effort to contact us personally with important test results and treatment updates during our cycles. He has excellent bedside manner and was very compassionate during our care/treatment. We always had the feeling that he and his team were truly invested in our treatment and wanted the best outcomes for us.

Describe the protocols Rani Fritz used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

After an extensive workup, were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. We underwent two cycles of clomid/IUI, which did not work and then we decided to proceed with IVF. We decided to do genetic testing on the embryos and transferred one healthy embryo in an artificial frozen embryo transfer cycle. The doses we used in our IVF cycle were 150 units of Gonal F and 150 units of Menopur with Cetrotide added in the middle of the cycle. The oocyte retrieval went smoothly and the recovery was quick. We retrieved 15 eggs and eventually generated 5 embryos with 4 of them being genetically normal. Our frozen embryo cycle was with oral estrogen 2 times per day and intramuscular injections of progesterone.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

The nursing staff was excellent. I primarily communicated with 3 or 4 nurses. They were compassionate and although the clinic seemed busy at times, I never felt rushed. They always took their times to answer my questions and walked me through my treatment.

Describe your experience with NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

The strengths are the doctors, nursing staff, and ultimately the results. The weaknesses are that it can be very busy at times with waits during morning monitoring, however, overall well run considering their volume. Their monitoring hours begin at 6:30AM, so it was never a problem for me to get to work on time during my treatment cycles.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

My costs were covered by my insurance with the exception of the genetic testing on the embryos (~$4,500).

Describe Rani Fritz's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

Dr. Fritz stated that due to the fact that we were genetically testing our embryos and given our age, it was recommended to transfer one embryo.

Rani Fritz NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York

Dr Fritz’s extensive knowledge in the field, skill, and work ethic make him a wonderful Reproductive Endocrinologist, but his bedside manner separates him from the rest! I never felt rushed during visits and I was fully heard. He took my suggestions I gathered from research and online support groups into consideration when planning my cycles. He was open to a balanced fertility approach, combining western and eastern medicine for the best possible results. He responded to my emails in a timely fashion and often picked up the phone to call me in lieu of emailing me back. He was attentive, thorough, informative, and professional.

The [NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of NY] clinic is managed well and efficient. Clean facility that adhered to Covid protocols. Early morning hours very convenient for bloodwork and didn’t interfere with my work schedule. I barely ever waited more than 10 min in the waiting room before my scheduled appointments...I had to be vigilant when it came to Patient Portal messages as I found a discrepancy once or twice in terms of specific directives relayed to me through the portal system. Had to ask several times about bloodwork results that was ordered but not released to me

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.

Compassionate and caring. I had to be vigilant when it came to Patient Portal messages as I found a discrepancy once or twice in terms of specific directives relayed to me through the portal system.

Describe the protocols Rani Fritz used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

I don't remember the full strategy and doses but some of the drugs used in my cycle were GONAL-F, Menopur, Progesterone in oil, Estrogen patches, Cetrotide, and HCG. One treatment strategy was with my high hormone levels when the doctor suggested better results will come from a frozen transfer than a fresh transfer because of the high hormone levels. A positive pregnancy was the result of using this rationale.

Review of

Rani Fritz NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York

From the moment we met Dr. Fritz, we felt very comfortable. He explained all our treatments in detail. I never felt rushed or pushed. He always answered his emailed and when needed, would check in by phone to discuss the progress of our treatment. I can recall there was one time when he was on vacation, but we had what we thought was an important question. He called us back despite being on vacation and helped put us at ease. We are very grateful to have found Dr. Fritz to help us grow our family.

After 2 failed cycles and 1 miscarriage, we reconsulted and decided to begin IVF with genetic testing [at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York]...We retrieved 18 eggs, 10 embryos, which resulted in 7 genetically normal embryos. We did a frozen embryo transfer cycle and transferred one embryo. Current, we are pregnant!...The nursing staff were excellent and efficient. They got to know me well after being a patient for many months. Many times they were a breath of fresh air during this stressful time.

He always discussed all treatment options with us and I never felt pushed and when I asked for his advice, he was very forthcoming and honest. He was always available and responded to emails quickly. At my previous clinic, I felt that I could never reach my doctor and that is one of the major reasons why I switched clinics.

After an extensive work up, we fell into the unexplained fertility category. Dr. Fritz recommended trying IUI with Femera.

I had two successful egg freezing/retrieval procedures with Dr. Fritz...As an African-American female, I had questions about the success of the procedure and medications used for my specific background and he answered every one with data and clear communication. Sometimes I had appointments when Dr. Fritz was not in a particular office, but he always followed up with me on my tests, scans and next steps.

Dr. Fritz and the office staff [at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York] were very professional, personable and timely with their responses. Directions to take my daily injections were easy and clear to follow. Sometimes it was hard to get in contact with a nurse after my procedure and I had to leave multiple messages with the messaging service. I would have liked to have a direct contact after my retrieval.

Dr. Fritz's strengths are that he is extremely up-to-date in the most evidence-based forms of fertility care but also uses his clinical expertise, observations, and patient's preferences to adjust treatment as needed. He is very patient, compassionate and an excellent educator/communicator. He responds promptly to email and phone calls (even after hours and when he is not on call) and takes his time with the patients during the appointments. He is optimistic but sets reasonable expectations.

NYU of Brooklyn [Langone Reproductive Specialists] is very organized and the doctors and staff are wonderful. It was easy to get an appointment and I almost never waited for more than 10 minutes. They were good at returning calls and emails, even after office hours. One thing to be aware of is that the office is only open five days a week.

You can trust Dr. Fritz without hesitation for your treatment.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

I am in my 40s with extremely low ovarian reserve, and have never been pregnant in my life. After 4 egg retrievals prior, Dr. Fritz became our doctor, though our prospects were low we were determined to do all we could to have a child. Dr. Fritz was always kind, sincere encouraging, and most importantly sincerely tried to find the most effective protocol for our situation.

Describe the protocols Rani Fritz used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

Before starting treatment with Dr. Fritz he recommended I start taking DHEA and COq10 to improve ovarian reserve. Prior to the cycle start I took estrogen, then during cycle I took Gonol F, and Menopure, over the cycles some amounts of these medication were increased. During my first 4 cycles with another Dr. I had only one follicle, and one egg retrieved each round, the last five cycles with Dr. Fritz, 2-4 eggs were retrieved each round.

Dr Fritz was very personable and I felt comfortable in my visits with him. He explained and communicated very well and would show me what I was looking at on ultrasounds so that I could understand. He knew what was best to help me achieve my result and here I am pregnant on my first IVF!...he actually got to know me and would remember me...I was very nervous about only transferring 1 egg since I only had so many attempts with insurance I wanted to be safe and transfer 2. But Dr Fritz wanted me to stick with one, he felt it would be too risky for me to try 2 at once and I listened to him and got pregnant with just the 1 egg!

They [nurses at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York] were always attentive and helped with my progesterone shots when needed...The clinic was willing to work with me since I had an hour commute they would accommodate and give me later appointments to work with my schedule as well as helped me with FMLA forms so that way I wouldn't be penalized at work for missing chunks of time...

This clinic [NYU Langone] is awesome and very thorough about what you need to do during Ivf and I enjoyed my experience throughout. They can get a little crowded in the morning, but as long as you get their early and make an early appointment you should be okay. They’re quick to get patients in and very quick about doing blood work and having results immediately...The nursing staff was extremely attentive and caring...
