I saw dr scott only once. I scheduled phone calls though and those calls happened on time and as expected. he had plenty of time for talk and always called in a quiet place with availability to chat. I never felt like he rushed me. he talked to me in a respectful manner quoting stats so I could easily understand them...always very kind, but gave information readily. my questions and concerns were always handles with dignity and respect
I found rmanj to be very good at what they do. the billing team, the nursing staff and all the misc clinicians were friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. the basking ridge location is beautiful, though in the middle of nowhere!...I loved working with [nurse] mary ellen. I hated always having to leave a message and wait for a call back but, her VM always stated her working hours and when to exect a call back. the call backs always came the same day although at times it was frustrating to wait for the calls. mary ellen is extremely knowledgable and compassionate. there was nothing I could ask her or tell her

Describe Richard Scott's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of New Jersey.
dr scott firmly believes in a SET. he states the goal is to bring a healthy child home from the hospital. not 2 or 3 or 6. however, he can be persuaded under certain conditions to alter his approach.
[Dr.] Richard Scott is incredibly knowledgeable, and always took to the time to explain everything to me. He clearly cares both about his patients and about their success...Just understand that he won't be the only person working with you. Your point person will be a nurse; and other doctors could be the ones performing the procedures. But he oversees your case completely, and knows what he's doing...he changed what was not working from my previous clinic, and was able to lead me to successful pregnancies twice.
RMANJ is very large, and this bothers some people. I had no trouble with it, especially with the help of my nurse coordinator. The doctors are all top notch, and I found every one of them (whether doing consultations, ultrasounds, retrievals, or transfers) to be compassionate and wonderful...

Honestly, it was years ago, and I've put it out of my mind. I can tell you that he changed what was not working from my previous clinic, and was able to lead me to successful pregnancies twice. He looks at the specifics of YOUR case. My meds and protocol won't be the same as yours, because we are different people will different issues, who react differently to different medications.

Because of my low quality eggs, I only had 1 embryo to transfer my 1st round with Dr. Scott. My second round, I had 2 remaining, and as it was likely our last shot at it, we decided to transfer both. Dr. Scott was supportive. Only one survived, and I now have 2 beautiful sons.
