All the nurses are helpful, friendly and easy to talk to. They are always available to answer any question or concern.
Describe your experience with Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.

IVF is costly. Our insurance did not cover any fertility treatment. However, we worked together with the billing department who were very reasonable to deal with.

The topic was barely discussed as it was obvious from the doctor's end and from our end that we would only transfer one embryo.

How was your experience with Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Success in overcoming our infertility issues did not come immediately for us. I have heard that for some people it does come quickly; however, for us, it had become a very grueling experience which, required a major effort from both of us. We had consulted and were treated by many fertility specialists prior to discovering Dr. Grazi. All of them were very skilled, extremely knowledgeable, highly recommended and reputable, but none of them were anything like Dr. Grazi. Unique and special are only two of the many adjectives that truly describe his key attributes. For us Dr. Grazi was the only weapon we had to combat the grueling experience that we had undergone while going through our “ART” experience. Even though we owe our success to a “Higher Authority” (God the Creator), without, Dr. Grazi our “ART” experience would have been vastly different. Whether we had succeeded or failed in accomplishing our objectives we would still recommend Dr. Grazi to be the doctor of your choosing since he was the only doctor that enabled us to get us through this most difficult crisis in our lives with the least amount of emotional, psychological, spiritual, ethical and financial stress that anyone has ever dream of. Dr. Grazi was God’s answer to our prayers!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Trust his judgement, heed his advice and seriously consider his recommendations for he is truly a very remarkable doctor to be under the care of.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Dr. Richard Grazi is a unique and special doctor to be with. There is no other doctor like him in the field of infertility.
Describe the protocols Richard Grazi used in your cycles at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine and their degree of success.
We started with an IVF procedure that made use of the meds-- Menopur and Bravelle to stimulate egg production.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff was very attentive to all of our needs. They directed us on what we needed to do and when to do it. The service was always available 24 Hours per day.
Describe your experience with Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
The clinic's strengths lies in their cleanliness and orderly atmosphere. The facility and all of its furnishings ae completely new and very well cared for. The waiting room is furnished with a large flat screen television, which, gives the people the chance to unwind from the stress involved with the experience. Children are not allowed to be there since it is such a sensitive issue, which, also relieves the stress associated with going through the experience. We have been to clinics that are like a train station-- noisy and crowded; however this clinic is nothing at all like that. Each doctor has there own separate office and the layout of the clinic is very conducive to a stress-free environment. The waiting area is not lined with photographs of infants as was some of the other clinics we visited. The waiting area does not imply anything of a consumer product being sold or marketed. It clearly has only one element which says -- "Genesis Where Life Begins" -- which can be interpreted in different ways. When one goes to meet with the doctors or nurses they see time testimonials attached to the wall which all praise the good results they achieved while being a patient there. The only weakness I will make mention of is the fact that the time you wait can be long even though there may only be one patient before you.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
An efficient well oiled machine. I had to be there at 6:30 AM if I wanted to get out quickly. This did not ruin my schedule.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
The costs were fair and reasonable. The billing department was very helpful. Cost is negotiated if it is too high for the consumer. Financially this clinic is operated in a very business-like manner. It is excellent! They are very flexible at costs. There isn't a service performed that is over-priced or out of reach for the consumer. Deals are made and results are obtained.
Describe Richard Grazi's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
Dr. Grazi only transferred one embryo. Transferring multiple embryos was never recommended and was never performed.

How was your experience with Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Dr Grazi was not only my physician but he became a trusted and valued friend. When I became his patient it was on the heels of my current doctor retiring. I was very confused and unsure about the future. I felt as though I had to reexplain our history and open up our lives to a new person once again. I was not excited about it at the time but it turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to us. Dr Grazi was always extremely involved, passionate and understanding of our journey. We had many, many, many set backs and he held our hand through each one. I have nothing but love and gratitude for all he did for us and our family.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Trust Dr Grazi's experience and advice-- he has been doing this a long time & has a true understanding of the science behind this process. He never wavered while helping us through our journey and when we did hit a road block he referred us to other specialists with the experience we needed. And after that, we stayed true and had faith in Dr.Grazi and kept our course with him. In the end he brought us to our final destination, our sweet baby girl.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Like everything in life there was a mixture of extremely loving and compassionate nurses and others that "just" did their job. Cindy & Joanne were both amazingly compassionate, understanding and loving. They went above and beyond in every way!

How was your experience with Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Dr. Grazi is very warm and compassionate. I really don't have anything negative to say about him. We started with another Dr, and then ended up with Dr Grazi after our first doctor left. We are very happy to have been under Dr Grazi's care. He did what he could to make us feel comfortable while keeping professional and giving us the honest truth.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Don't put off your first visit. Dr Grazi is there to help. He runs an operation that is unlike most clinical settings. You'll feel welcomed into the "family" at Genesis and you'll know that you're in good hands.

Describe the protocols Richard Grazi used in your cycles at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine and their degree of success.
Dr Grazi performed a frozen transfer on me. His reasoning was to be able to prepare my uterus in the best way possible. Fresh cycles are very time sensitive. By doing frozen, we were able to take our time prepping my body. He actually cancelled my first attempt because my lining wasn't as good as he wanted. The next cycle, my lining was much better and it wound up resulting in a beautiful and successful pregnancy.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff is amazing. They are ALWAYS there for you. You deal with them more than the actual doctor. They become familiar with you, and are very attentive and helpful.
Describe your experience with Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
There really isn't anything negative I can say. The clinic offers early daily monitoring at satellite offices so it doesn't interfere with your work schedule. If you don't live near the main office, you can get blood drawn or a sonogram at a closer office and they bring it to the main office to be tested and reviewed by your dr. It really is VERY convenient; although it would still be very worth the trip to the main office. It feels like a family there. Everyone is very friendly. And the office runs like a well oiled machine. Every department works very well together.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
I don't remember the actual cost, but the financial department was very helpful to us who weren't covered for treatments under our insurance.
Describe Richard Grazi's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
Because I am still young, Dr Grazi wanted us to do a single embryo transfer. Even my ob/gyn says that singleton pregnancies are much safer.

Dr. Grazi had a strange communication style, which I found a bit creepy and inappropriate. I also got the impression that he didn't really listen to my questions all that well - he would often interrupt mid-sentence, which, as a professional woman fairly senior in my career, I found very irritating. Also, he did 3 rounds of IUI, and then only after that told me that because of my age, IUI is very unlikely to be successful -- he didn't have a good answer to why he had me do 3 rounds of IUI instead of going right to IVF.

See if you get the feeling that he's not listening, and if so, get the heck out of there.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
The nurses and front desk staff are very attuned to the patients and know everyone by name. I LOVED the nurses especially.
Describe the protocols Richard Grazi used in your cycles at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine and their degree of success.
I've tossed my notes already, but I remember the nurses telling me that the dose for the ovarian stimulation was lower than average (based on how the body reacted). One thing I noticed was the dose on the 2nd round was lower than on the first, and the number of eggs retrieved was much smaller, and there were no viable blastocysts from the 2nd retrieval.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I loved the nursing staff. There were two IVF nurses who did the phone calls daily and would answer questions - they were usually pretty good about calling back if you had a question. The monitoring nurses were really great - very friendly, and really gave me the feeling they were rooting for me.
Describe your experience with Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
I understand that some clinics have long wait times. I only had one visit out of dozens where I had to wait more than 15 minutes. Weekend monitoring gets a bit busy, but even then they usually have you in and out of there.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
It helped that they have two locations for monitoring, and you could go to either one. I never waited longer than 15 minutes for monitoring.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
They have two different cost schedules - one is for patients covered by insurance, and the other is for self-pay. The self-pay is HIGHER, which we found out when we hit our maximum on the insurance coverage after only 1 round of IVF. 1 round, including medications, clocked in at $20k.

I had a strong preference for single embryo transfer and he seemed fine with that.

He [Dr. Richard Grazi] generally preferred single transfers so that if something went wrong on the maternal end, more than one embryo would not be lost. Also because he didn’t prefer to put patients in the situation of carrying multiples...He’s the kindest and most understanding doctor you could want. He routinely reminded me to balance treatments with other areas of life that brought joy, asked about my grandmother repeatedly when I told him she was sick, etc. When we eventually celebrate the birth of a daughter who was conceived outside of his care, he was so happy for us.

How was your experience with Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
He’s so kind, thoughtful, and gentle. He seems very knowledgeable about medicine and caught 3/4 of my diagnoses right away on the first visit. Even when we went for 3 other opinions, everyone agreed with his course of treatment (even though it wasn’t successful).

Enjoy the best bedside manner you’ll ever receive!
But advocate for yourself with the clinic!

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Some of the nurses were amazing, sensitive and I always felt they were cheering me on, identifying with my situation, etc. Others knew the medicine well, but they were less helpful with answering questions or handling it when I was stressed / upset. One (Irene) was particularly frustrating in her mannerisms because she treated my husband like an outsider, saying he asked too many questions and he should go online to read more info. In the end, she was nice to me, but we tried to avoid her mostly.
Describe your experience with Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
I thought Dr Grazi was excellent, but some members of the nursing staff had some improvements to make. The billing / admin department seemed disorganized. The lab didn’t get me the results I wanted. And the surgical center they used in the building was a disaster - truly a terrible experience. (Rude and insensitive OR staff, couldn’t supply a Tylenol after retrieval because they couldn’t find any - in short, the surgical center was totally unprofessional.)
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
The hours were increasingly early due to short staffing & running multiple monitoring satellite locations. Wait times in the satellite were typically short. Sometimes doors were locked and no one answered the phone, or I missed my chance for monitoring if I arrived too close to the end of the window. At one point, the monitoring hours changed but no one informed me. Sunday monitoring at the main office generally had a long wait time.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
Approximately $12,000/ cycle, plus additional fees for medications, ICSI, PGS, and surgical center.

Dr. Grazi was very professional, knowledgeable, and explained the steps involved with every procedure...For example, when we were down to the last 2 embryos, we wanted to split them, but, he indicated that we had a better chance with transferring the last two at once. Also, when the first 3 transfers did not thrive to result in a pregnancy, Dr Grazi was forceful in recommending that we get a different surrogate, as he had the strong feeling that she was not following the protocol.

Dr. Grazi was very professional, knowledgeable, and explained the steps involved with every procedure. He was caring, and was genuine in explaining the risks involved in all the procedures to be undertaken. For example, when we were down to the last 2 embryos, we wanted to split them, but, he indicated that we had a better chance with transferring the last two at once. Also, when the first 3 transfers did not thrive to result in a pregnancy, Dr Grazi was forceful in recommending that we get a different surrogate, as he had the strong feeling that she was not following the protocol.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Be patient, and put your trust in him
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine?
Dr Grazi was very compassionate. From the time we met him, he made us feel like he cared deeply about our situation, and was willing to help us get through it. His staff was always helpful and caring, especially Tara who helped us managing the different steps. For about 18 years, we went to various centers of excellence, looking for help, and we have never felt the welcoming and the warmth that we found in Dr. Grazi. We felt like he was a father guiding us, and understanding what we were going through. After 18 years, Dr Grazi made our dream come through with the birth of our beautiful daughter. At this point, we would not ask for more, and would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr Grazi and his wonderful crew, at Genesis, especially Charlene, and Tara.
Describe the protocols Richard Grazi used in your cycles at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine and their degree of success.
All four transfers that Dr Grazi performed should have resulted in a positive pregnancy, however, for the first three, the protocol was not strictly followed by the surrogate.

Describe Richard Grazi's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.

The office was a cattle call like experience. The doctor was not very warm however seemed optimistic. He had his nurses perform the IUIs and I had to make an appointment with him to find out why he think it failed. He was not very communicative.
Describe the protocols Richard Grazi used in your cycles at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine and their degree of success.
I did 3 IUIs with this doctor. He recommended letrozole each time and was not open to trying clomid. He did not change up the next cycle after a failed one which I found disappointing. He recommended IVF instead of doing further testing.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
There was only one nurse who was kind and compassionate. Toby was very blunt and cold and made me feel uncomfortable during my IUIs. Another nurse dropped my husbands sperm sample on the floor and still proceeded to do the IUI!
Describe your experience with Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
This clinic is a cattle call. You will not receive any personal or one on one attention. I felt very empty here especially since this was when I was first starting out in my infertility journey. Maybe there are newer doctors there that are more involved in patient care but Dr. Grazi was not one of them.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Richard Grazi at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
We did 3 IUIs with this dr. We did back to back IUIs those cycles. Insurance covered one and we paid $400 for the second one. In total we probably paid around a few thousand for out of pocket IUIS, recombine testing, and copays.

Describe the protocols Richard Grazi used in your cycles at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine and their degree of success.
After a year of ttc with no results and an HSG which showed a blocked left Tube I made my first appointment in December of 2010 at Genesis Fertility with DR GRAZI! I was able to get an appointment rather quickly which I was happy about.
Dr. Grazi sat with me and my husband and we discussed our options.
We started an IUI cycle when I ovulated from my right Fallopian tube as this was the unblocked tube! This resulted in an ectopic pregnancy which was taken care of with methotrexate at Genesis. We then processed to to IVF a few months after the ectopic and I transferred 2 embryos and got negative pt results. The next cycle we did a fresh ivf again and we changed my medicine and I conceived my son , who is now 5.
