How was your experience with Sana Salih at RMA of Philadelphia?
She was very pleasant and compassionate each time, however she didn't communicate well and never explained each step well or as to why we were doing it. I did like the fact that I saw her each visit and for my procedure. After my failed IUI she didn't seem bothered and basically said let's do it again. We didn't like that approach at all.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at RMA of Philadelphia.
The nurse practioner, Melissa was not pleasant at all and quite rude when I had questions about the injections. It was overwhelming to feel stupid for having questions when dealing with infertility itself is already such a tough thing. She wasn't understanding or compassionate at all. The receptionist wasn't particularly friendly either which was a shame.
Lastly, our doctor just didn't communicate well at all and some vital info wasn't told to us until much later
