We did ivf [with Dr. Treiser] because of low morphology. I was on Gonal-F amongst other injections for egg retrieval. We used ICSI and did pgs testing recommended by the doctor because of my husbands genes...I only saw her twice during my treatment she was nice. She gave me hope but things didn't turn out how she thought they would. I was given no explanation as to why most of my embryos didn't make it. Just simply that they didn't.

How was your experience with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
I only saw her twice during my treatment she was nice. She gave me hope but things didn't turn out how she thought they would. I was given no explanation as to why most of my embryos didn't make it. Just simply that they didn't.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
Do your research ask questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
I was treated good but felt like they could have explained things better as the process went along.
Describe the protocols Susan Treiser used in your cycles at RMA of New Jersey and their degree of success.
We did ivf because of low morphology. I was on Gonal-F amongst other injections for egg retrieval. We used ICSI and did pgs testing recommended by the doctor because of my husbands genes.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey.
I started the journey assigned to one nurse a month or so into the process when I tried calling her I was told by the front office staff that she no longer worked there. My new nurse seemed to come in and throw a bunch of things at me that the other one never mentioned. I could never get her on the phone when I called but she would always return my voicemails. Sometimes she would give me all my numbers from bloodwork and sometimes she wouldn't.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
They are supposedly one of the highest rated clinics with the most pregnancies and highest babies born. My one and only surviving embryo didn't make it to transfer. So I can't comment on that. The monitoring hours were from 6am to 8am to accommodate working schedules. I start at 6:50am so sometimes it was a little tight for me but they were always pretty fast first thing in the morning.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of New Jersey.
It worked out for me because I tried to be one of the first ones there when it opened so it always went pretty quick. I went one time maybe an hour or so later and there were a lot of people there but even so didn't have to wait in the waiting room for too long.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey.
Our insurance covered $15,000 but on top of that we paid $15,300 out of pocket including medicines (over $8,000 one time and the rest was split up) up front before we could continue.
Describe Susan Treiser's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of New Jersey.
I was told they only transfer one embryo at a time because its safer and less risks.

Dr. Treiser was familiar with my history and addressed my problems personally. I felt as though I was understood and being cared for.... When I went through my miscarriage she personally to apologize and give me all of the details of my next steps (D&C, naturally or pills). She checked in with me several times after my procedure as well. I do wish I would have seen her more, as we are rotated through doctors for early morning monitoring....She answered all of my questions quickly and efficiently and was very transparent.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
Don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions. Ask for clarity, email and call, because they will take the time you need to answer all of your questions and to ensure you understand fully.

Describe the protocols Susan Treiser used in your cycles at RMA of New Jersey and their degree of success.
We started with clomid, and IUI. It unfortunately did not work so we moved on to another hormone medication. She wanted me to do medicated IUIs because of my husband’s sperm quality. My fourth IUI worked, but unfortunately I miscarried several weeks later. They had me in every 2-3 days for ultrasounds to monitor the baby. From then we have had a few more medicated IUIs but none have worked, with my last cycle being an injectable.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Christine )
Everyone in the entire office is friendly, nurturing, understanding and they clearly communicate with you every detail. The follow up to my million emails and questions have been outstanding.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
The clinic is clean and organized. The lab is quick and gentle. The doctors are all great with great bedside manners. They take the time to speak with you, answer questions, and show empathy and compassion. The only weakness is the office is on the smaller side and sometimes you have to travel to another office for monitoring if they aren’t open on the weekends.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey.
Most of my care was covered through my insurance by 80%.

Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Joyce Maloney)
Joyce Maloney is the most AMAZING nurse... I am SO lucky that I was assigned to her caseload. She is the best... so organized, detailed, compassionate and always followed through. She always called me in a timely fashion with my personal results and thorough directions of what to do next. I wish everyone would have the same experience with their nurse.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
A huge strength is how organized they are. Everyone has a job to do and they do it flawlessly, following up with everyone to ensure their treatment moves forward as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of New Jersey.
The Somerset office has a smaller waiting room, so sometimes it was standing room only. With that said, they were very good about getting people in and out, so there really wasn't much waiting around. I usually had to be there by 7:30am, which were the monitoring hours. It wasn't a problem for me because it was on my way to work, but that will be challenging next time with a toddler that has to go to daycare (in the opposite direction).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey.
We did owe co-pays during certain visits, but I was very lucky that insurance covered most of our treatment and medicine.

I like how she [Dr. Treiser] was honest. We already had our diagnosis going into consultation. We saw her as a second opinion and ending up choosing her for treatment. Both doctors recommended the same course of treatment. However, I felt she had more experience and preferred this clinic to the other one....Started out on 225 IU Follistim & 75 IU Menopur every night. Follicles are not growing very fast. Depending on bloodwork she may increase my medication dosage tonight (Day 6) will find out this afternoon.

Be aware that there is a lot of waiting involved in the process. Not like in the waiting room, but to make appointment, get a schedule, etc. if pursuing IVF.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
It's definitely a larger clinic, so I cannot say every time I went in for monitoring I felt like a human. However, during every one-on-one with doctor (and even when I saw my doctor for monitoring) I felt better informed and treated as a person.

Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Cathy Ovacz)
My nurse is very blunt. I would prefer her to be a little more positive, but I guess she is trying to stay realistic. The other doctors/nurses seem a bit more positive though. She is thorough with information. I wish she would have showed me in person re: the injections instead of sending me videos.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
Pros- Great statistics, know what they're doing. They also have experience with my husbands diagnosis (retrograde ejaculation) which is pretty rare. Our previous clinic did not seem to know as much.
Con- They are very large. Some call it a baby factory. However I find comfort in knowing they see a lot of different cases and can react appropriately.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey.
About 15,000 for egg retrieval, and a FET is approximately 4,500
Describe Susan Treiser's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of New Jersey.
She has a strong preference of single embryo transfer. She will only do multiples in rare cases.

How was your experience with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
I have read about other doctors at RMA-NJ trying novel treatments and I'm not sure anything Dr. Treiser is doing in my situation is particularly novel, but then again, it may be that I have not needed anything novel because I am having good success with the current treatment. Dr. Treiser is easy to talk to and easy to get ahold of and explains everything thoroughly that I ask her about so that I'm not concerned about my questions anymore.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
Dr. Treiser can seem a bit quiet at times but if you ask her all your questions and concerns, she will be very kind and talk to you about everything.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
RMA-NJ is very factory-like in that you just show up at any of their clinics on the days that you are to be monitored and whoever is working there that day does your monitoring. I like that they at least list the names of the doctors on the schedule so I can go to the clinics with the doctors I feel most comfortable with. Generally all communication runs through one's assigned nurse by email and by phone messages, but any time I have specifically wanted to directly speak with my doctor Susan Treiser, I have been pleasantly surprised with how quickly and pleasantly she calls me back and speaks at length with me about whatever I want to talk to her about. She has also called me, instead of having the nurse contact me, at key junctures in my treatment, and she is always the one to talk with me after retrieval and every step along the way in regards to embryo development and testing.
There have been tests and medications I have read about and when I bring up a test or a medication adjustment I am wondering about, she has always had good information for me and seems to like talking with me, and has been open to my ideas and suggestions where appropriate.
Describe the protocols Susan Treiser used in your cycles at RMA of New Jersey and their degree of success.
I am an older patient (over 40). She never expressed any negativity towards me like other doctors did. I had good AMH, LH/FSH, and many follicles showing on initial visit. She started me on 300 Follistim/Gonal, 150 menopur, then added in Ganirelex a few days later, and then a lupron trigger with an HCG shot. We had very good results with this so it was definitely a good call I think.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Jordanna)
Jordanna is sweet, humorous, and always gets back to me the same day.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
RMA-NJ is like clockwork.
You feel like you've joined some sort of elite fitness club or something, because you can take your "membership" and show up at any of their offices each morning for monitoring and they know who you are and treat you like a valued participant.
I wish they would do day-3 embryo transfer, they will only transfer day 5's.
That said, they have great PGS testing, it's CCS testing and provides a "normal, mosaic, or abnormal" rating. They will allow transfer of normals and mosaics if you had PGS testing.
They have a few different financing options for folks like me who don't have insurance.
Their embryology department is amazing. I had to have ICSI done and it worked very well. Their frozen embryo statistics are stellar and are one of the reasons I choose RMA-NJ.
All weekday monitoring happens between 6 and 8 in the morning, weekend they are open until 10am. I wish they had later hours.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of New Jersey.
Efficient, well-oiled machine, where you feel special and like part of an elite club of patients.
I just wished they would have monitoring hours after 8am. I have to get up super early for the appointments as I live far away.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey.
IVF with ICSI at RMA is normally roughly 20000 a cycle without insurance. I got a package with ARC (financing that RMA offers) for 3 cycles with ICSI and 6 transfers, for roughly 40000 financed.
They also have an interesting setup for PGS testing where you pay to "buy in" to a package of 10 embryos tested for roughly $4000 where those 10 embryos can be all in one cycle or if not used, spills over to subsequent cycles.
Describe Susan Treiser's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of New Jersey.
Dr. Treiser and I discussed MY research on transfering embryos and what I thought was best (freeze all, multiple cycles, then transfer one at a time) and she agreed with my sense of where to go.

How was your experience with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
I felt Dr. Treiser was very candid and forthcoming, and worked with me to find the best way to treat both my infertility and manage my anxiety about the process. I trusted her and felt she absolutely knew what she was doing. I was very happy with her, although she was not my favorite doctor at the Somerset office.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
She isn’t the warmest doctor at RMA but she does care, and she is extremely knowledgeable. Be honest about what you need from her and she will do her best to meet those needs and make your process easier.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
Dr. Treiser understood that I have an anxiety disorder, so she would be very frank with me and give me numbers, percentages, etc when she could, because that made me feel more in control/like I knew what to expect. When we had bad news, she would call me herself rather than letting the nurse call me. She also was the one to call us when we had good news as well. After my retrievals and transfer (done by Dr. Leo Doherty because of how the schedule fell), she called to check on me and see how I was doing. Also, after I was no longer a patient, I reached out to her about results on my first trimester screen to ask her opinion and she called me back the same day, and asked me to keep her updated. When I emailed her the results of my subsequent NIPT screening, she emailed me back the same day.
Describe the protocols Susan Treiser used in your cycles at RMA of New Jersey and their degree of success.
My first cycle was a typical antagonist protocol because I have PCOS. They expected me to overproduce so they started me on lower doses. However, my body wasn’t responding in the way they had expected. I produced 19 eggs, 16 mature, 12 fertilized with ICSI, and only 2 survived to 6-day blast. Luckily both were PGS normal but Dr. Treiser encouraged us to let her try another cycle to see if we could get better results and bank more, higher quality embryos since we do want more than one child. Our insurance covers IVF and allows banking so we decided to do a second cycle.
We did a Lupron down-regulation protocol the second time. Dr. Treiser felt she had learned about my body in the first cycle and that with the Lupron cycle, she could have more control over how my body would react. We retrieved 24 eggs, 21 mature, 19 fertilized, and 14 made it to day 6 blast. 11/14 were PGS normal. We were so happy we trusted her to do a second cycle.
I am currently 18w5d pregnant with my first transfer of our best quality female.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Patrice Cote)
Patrice is actually a PA, not a nurse. I felt she was very responsive to my concerns, extremely patient with me (my anxiety got the best of me during this process and she would spend a long time on the phone with me answering my giant lists of questions). She was compassionate and intelligent and I trusted her as much as I trusted the doctors.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
RMA is great. I actually have sent a friend there since I graduated, and I know several people who have successfully had babies at RMA, some after years of infertility with no success at other clinics. They are a large practice so you do see a lot of doctors, but all of the doctors at the Somerset office and the ones I met at Basking Ridge were all great. I especially loved Dr. Leo Doherty. He was kind and compassionate and has hands down the best bedside manner of any doctor I’ve ever met in my 29 years of life. The office staff is incredible, the nurses are all kind, and I LOVED the phlebotomist Richmond at Somerset. I was really sad to graduate. My OBGYN is great but the experience doesnt hold a candle to the one I had at RMA. I would recommend them over and over to anyone (and I do!)
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of New Jersey.
Some days were busier than others with monitoring (Mondays and Fridays were busiest) but I learned the best times to go to avoid the rush, and I still felt like I was given enough time with the doctors. On weekends, we had to go a little further to the basking Ridge office because the Somerset office was closed, but the monitoring hours were longer on weekends at BR and I still felt like the wait wasn’t too bad.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey.
My insurance covered IVF luckily, but PGS was out of pocket. We paid $2500 for up to 10 embryos, and then $125 per additional embryo (total $3250). We also had co-pays for visits and meds.
Describe Susan Treiser's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of New Jersey.
RMA strongly prefers eSET, frozen. Especially if you PGS test. I wasn’t given an option to transfer multiples, especially given my age and the fact that I have no miscarriage history. I’m happy with that decision as I am not sure I could handle twins.

She was flexible and allowed me to participate in planning the next steps.She can come across as a bit cool at times but like I mentioned previously, I didn't need hand holding, I needed results.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
Dr Treiser tries to be somewhat personable. Shes pleasant but sticks to the facts with little hand holding.I didn't have any complaints regarding my care until the acquisition of IVF NJ by RMA NJ.
RMA was strictly all business and they herded everyone around like cattle. They were almost rude to my husband and myself because we had to bring our twins for an appointment. They should make a waiting room for parents that's as comfortable as the main waiting area. My husband and the girls had to wait in a tiny room that was claustrophobic. One time I went for an appointment and waited an hour + to be called. RMA said they didn't realize that I was waiting. Despite signing in and saying good morning to everyone.
There is absolutely no privacy at RMA. You get herded around with a group. There's maybe 6-8 women getting blood work at the same time. I had to STAND in a long corridor with at least 10 other women and some of their partners while waiting for an ultrasound. And you can hear everything through the doors.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
When I was a patient at IVF NJ, the nurses were absolutely wonderful. I'm a nurse myself and I was really impressed with the job they did. They were professional but personable, on top of everything, and responded to an email, phone call or text within minutes. They made my two failed cycles easier to deal with and my successful one even more exciting and special.
Once the clinics merged, the nurses began to leave. The nurses from RMA were ok but they weren't on top of things at all. Like I didn't realize I needed my annual mammography when I started my last cycle. They didn't even notice. IVF NJ wouldn't have allowed me to cycle. It took a long time for them to respond to email or messages. Sometimes not until the next day. Any procedure done at IVF NJ was made as pleasant as possible. The nurses, the RE's and the support staff were all really nice and your nurse would come to see you before your transfer. We even received a card after our first transfer from our nurse.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
Overall the experience with RMA was not satisfactory and at times unpleasant. When my first cycle with them failed (an FET with embryos from a prior cycle at IVF NJ) the nurse implied that the embryos weren't up to RMA's standards. Ok.. I have twin girls and my baby boy from those crappy embryos. I'm considering cycling again with them next fall only because of Dr Treiser. I'm already dreading dealing with them again. (RMA)
The billing department was fine. We've paid OOP for everything so the billing department was always nice to us, lol!

Dr. Treiser took the time to actually sit and talk with me, and explained the process. She answered every question I had and was not intimidating to approach. She was very candid and honest. She was always willing to listen. Infertility is a challenging diagnosis with a lot of emotions. Dr. Treiser was sad with me when things didn't go as planned and shared in my joy when I was pregnant finally. Initially, I was having twins, but lost one around 8 weeks. She was comforting and gentle and definitely went above and beyond to support me.

we did 3 IUI's and 2 rounds of IVF. Initially, I was on clomid, but I got visual effects, so I was switched to Femara. We had a sperm issue, so the iui didnt work.
The first IVF yielded 2 good embryos (I have pcos, so even w a lot of eggs, they weren't all mature). We did a fresh transfer, but it didn't work.
She changed the protocol to a feeeze all and added in HGH. I ended up with 4 embryos. Two were transferred and two were kept frozen (one was a 6 day embryo). The changes to the protocol (HGH and stimming for longer) yielded me more embryos. I did get some mild OHSS, but that was expected, hence we planned for a freeze all.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Some of the nurses were better than others. One nurse in particular made a huge difference for me. Her name was Susan L. And she was a blessing. IVFNJ is now merged with RMA, so the nursing staff is completely different now.
Describe your experience with RMA of New Jersey.
It is completely different from when I went, so this question doesn't pertain any longer.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of New Jersey.
If you went in early and beat the rush you got done fast. Certain people were better than others with the monitoring.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey.
My insurance covered most things. I did have some bigger costs with meds, but overall it wasn't bad. When they merged with RMA, costs drastically went up. My storage fee when from $400 a year to $1,200 a year! Also, costs for every visit went up. RMA charges a co-pay for literally everything.
Describe Susan Treiser's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of New Jersey.
We transferred 2 each time. My first transfer did not implant, and I'm not sure why. With the second transfer, it was a frozen cycle and I also added in Accupuncture. Initially, I was pregnant with twins, but we lost one at 8 weeks. I would have been very happy with twins, but I do have a healthy almost 20 month old.

In a 7 month span we saw Dr Treiser 3 times. This process isn’t personable it’s all about staying on task and doing what they suggest even if it cost thousands of dollars... She is knowledgeable but very absent in the process. She did not perform my retrieval, polyp removal or any other appt but was there for the transfer. Just more interaction with Dr Treiser and occasional phone call would have fostered a better connection.

Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Susan welgos)
Susan was straight forward and very good at keeping us on track. She would rush through instructions causing us to call back for clarification. We never both received the information so a lot of times things would get lost in translation

How was your experience with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
Dr. Treiser was the primary doctor behind my treatment plan, however I did not see her for monitoring appointments. She did perform my transfer. As it is a large clinic, many doctors were seen throughout my treatment. I was assigned a coordinator, who acted as the go between between myself and Dr. Treiser.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
She is not the most warm and fuzzy person, but she knows what she is doing!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Treiser at RMA of New Jersey?
Dr. Treiser is very professional, but clearly wants the best for her patients. She was blunt, but caring at the same time. This is clearly her field of expertise, but she still tried to connect with us on a personal level during our visits. Since the birth of my children, she has personally reached out to me to check in.
Describe the protocols Susan Treiser used in your cycles at RMA of New Jersey and their degree of success.
I don't recall specifics. The egg donor cycle was successful, but my previous estrogen priming protocol had resulted in embryos that did not make it to transfer.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Domenica Abramo)
Domenica held my hand throughout the entire donor egg process. She calmed me down when I was a nervous wreck and she celebrated the milestones with me. Domenica promptly responded to all of my requests (Even emailed me back on New Year's Eve)! She was compassionate and reassuring throughout the entire process.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of New Jersey.
Monitoring appointments in Hamilton were during a window of time, but patients were typically moved in and out fairly quickly.

I felt the treatment was more tailored to me as a person than just giving me the same plan that she gives to all her patients.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Jill Kerwin)
My primary nurse was the most amazing, caring person. I really felt like she cared. She answered all of my questions, no matter how many or how big or small. She was great over email and on the phone. Always got back to me very quickly. The rest of the nursing staff were also wonderful--those seen during procedures were attentive and helpful.
