Dr. Ziegler is a strong communicator. He is attentive and patient. I am able to speak with him in person and over the phone. He is honest and will paint the whole picture for you so that you have realistic expectations. He also explains technical things at a level that is comprehendable to the patient...has years of experience and I always felt that he was compassionate and non judge mental when responding to my questions. He also has a way of explaining scientific and technical things as a level that is comprehendable to his patients.
Great clinic. This practice [Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey] has been around for a while and is a well oiled machine. I never experience long wait times and my appointments never last long, which I appreciate since I am a full time working mom. The cycle monitoring appointments are always early in the morning so I am never too late for work...Nursing staff is compassionate and patient. If they don’t know the answer to a question, they work hard to get you an answer.

How was your experience with William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Dr. Ziegler is a strong communicator. He is attentive and patient. I am able to speak with him in person and over the phone. He is honest and will paint the whole picture for you so that you have realistic expectations. He also explains technical things at a level that is comprehendable to the patient. I would recommend his practice to a friend who is looking to undergo fertility treatment.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Do not hesitate to ask questions, even when you are think they seem silly. Dr. Ziegler has years of experience and I always felt that he was compassionate and non judge mental when responding to my questions. He also has a way of explaining scientific and technical things as a level that is comprehendable to his patients.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
Dr. Ziegler was always able to meet with me in person upon request. I did not feel rushed when I had questions. He was also available via phone. When I had IUIs that resulted in a negative pregnancy test, Dr. Ziegler communicated with me directly over the phone. I appreciated this rather than notification over a portal or via the nursing staff. He had me take updated tests over the course of treating me to ensure we were always capturing my current fertility state. I also felt that he was honest with me regarding my chances for success.

Describe the costs associated with your care under William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
I have insurance through my employer which covers the cost of my procedures up to $20k lifetime max and up to $6k lifetime max. I paid out of pocket for what wasn’t covered. Once I maxed out my prescription max, some of the prescriptions were discounted because of the relationship between the fertility pharmacy and the practice.

He [Dr. William Ziegler] spoke to us so we would understood .. broke everything down completely. He was VERY responsive to phone calls. Made us feel like we were his only patients...He took us straight to our best route. He didn’t push any unnecessary testing. He never made us feel like we were making the wrong decision. I truly feel he had our best interest. The only downfall is his office appointments in Toms River are limited (which is probably irrelevant)considering he was always available in Eatontown . I can’t wait to meet with him again in the near future for a consult.
[The nurses at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey are] Very real. Very helpful. Very talkative. I felt comfortable confiding in them if I wasn’t sure what was going on during the visit...Strengths- friendly environment/ overall pleasant happy staff (they will remember you) Weakness - all situational (where you live — office hours for Toms River testing) .. cost of extra testing and storage but that’s probably the same everywhere but they are completely transparent with it.

How was your experience with William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey?
I wouldn’t change a thing with our experience. I went through 5 rounds of chlomid with my OBgyn. He took us straight to our best route. He didn’t push any unnecessary testing. He never made us feel like we were making the wrong decision. I truly feel he had our best interest. The only downfall is his office appointments in Toms River are limited (which is probably irrelevant)considering he was always available in Eatontown .

Describe the protocols William Ziegler used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey and their degree of success.
Oh man. Ok so we used a million shots ... so many shots. I can’t remember the specifics I’m just so glad it was successful. We started treatment in maybe March/April. Retrieval was in July. Transfer in August. The last medication I have on my fridge is menopure. I remember using a vaginal to build my lining towards the end but can’t remember the name (it wasn’t as terrible as everyone makes it seem). I am/will do this all over again.

Describe William Ziegler's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
He told me to transfer one. I was 30 at the time. I had no prior infertility issues as far as carrying. I had a healthy full term 5 yearold boy previous of my infertility issues.

Dr. Ziegler is like a member of the family - even when things don't go as well as you hope he is honest and supportive and helps you make the best decision possible for you and your family...no matter how hard the case he will do what he can to help you... We have had a rocky road but he has been the one constant source of support throughout a process that not many understand or can help you through. I would say the one limitation is the size of the practice which means patients have to be batched - this can take more time for treatment but I believe this is a very common practice in the industry. Dr. Ziegler is honest and very up to date on the latest research and will give you the honest story on things that may be trending but not clinically validated.
They [nurses at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey] have been great to me throughout the process...[monitoring hours were] Very convenient and didn't take away from work which was great. Never took more than a half hour...He [Dr. Ziegler] actively follows the guidelines as outlined by SART etc. Single embryo was used with pgs. With non-pgs he follows age based guidelines.

Describe the protocols William Ziegler used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey and their degree of success.
Birth Control for 2-3 weeks
overlap with low dose lupron 20 units
Lupron only for 4 days
Stimulation using Follistim/Gonal- F - 225 units (on cycle 2 we went up to 300 half way through Stim)
menopur 75 units (on cycle 2 went up to 150 units half way through)
estrogen from 2- 6 mg increasing overtime
Doxycycline 2X per day for 4 days
Medrol - 3 days
Progesterone Ethyloleate 1ml - 5 days pre-transfer
Crinone - day after transfer
Expected decent response - increase happened when not responding as well as first round.
Round 1 - 14 eggs harvested, 10 mature, 8 fertilized, 4 non pgs tested embryos
FET transfer 2 years later - two embryos - ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks - one identified trisomy 15
2 remaining 3AA and 4BB embryos
Endometrial Receptivity Analysis - Receptive
Round 2 -
14 eggs harvested
13 mature
10 fertilized
2 blastocyst
1 PGS normal, one trisomy 11 and 22
FET - transferred one embryo - negative test
What we have discovered - my blood pressure and thyroid react poorly to estrogen - we now know moving forward to test thyroid frequently and be on BP meds ahead of FET cycle. Interestingly, my body handles a retrieval better than the FET meds - we are considering a fresh transfer as a next step.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Heather and Hina )
Very supportive - gave me their own water bottle so I could pee for a test. They have been great to me throughout the process.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
Extremely family oriented approach with strong clinical background. Size is potentially a challenge for patient batching. Dr. Mensah and Ziegler are wonderful - Martinez is very nice but can sometimes not be as detailed or take things as seriously. Facilities are beautiful and well thought out.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
Very convenient and didn't take away from work which was great. Never took more than a half hour.
Describe the costs associated with your care under William Ziegler at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
8K for initial retrieval and storage, 8 K for original FET. 15K all in for Retrieval 2 and FET. 700 for PGS testing. Last FET was covered by insurance in full.

Did not opt for PGS this first time [with Dr. William Ziegler] but will do so in our next round. Male factor was the reason why we used ICSI...is a total professional and really helps to try and explain the procedures and process. He's a straight shooter for sure and tells you how it is. I'm someone who needs a bit more delicate bedside manner but he still made me feel like he's on my team and there to make things work. He's called me after hours multiple times just to make sure he touched base and let me know what's next.
The timing [of monitoring appointments at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey] was pretty convenient for me and most of the time it ran like a well-oiled machine. I was in and out within 15-30 minutes usually...Really like this clinic. They're timely and responsive. They all move pretty quickly through my appointments - haven't had to wait an excessive amount of time to get an appointment and they tend to explain things pretty well. My biggest complaint is informing me about timing - while I understand that things can change during a cycle - I would like to know a roundabout timeframe of when I can expect next processes. Understanding where the process is going and how long each aspect will take would really help me to understand where I'm at.

Describe the protocols William Ziegler used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey and their degree of success.
Downregulation IVF with ICSI. I used Follistim, Menopur (150 iu and 75 iu respectively). Did not opt for PGS this first time but will do so in our next round. Male factor was the reason why we used ICSI.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey.
They were very quick to answer my questions when I called and left me instructions I needed. I would have liked to see them check in more periodically during the cycle.

Dr. Ziegler is very thorough and explains everything to you. He never makes you feel stupid or lost. He goes over every step and explains every detail. I was overwhelmed when I started IVF. He always made sure I understood and would write everything down. After my lap surgery he contacted me the next day to check in.... He immediately understood our situation/concerns and was very easy to speak with. He made us feel very welcomed and at ease.
They [the nurses at Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey] were very friendly and helpful. They never gave me information that was crucial without checking with the doctor first. They do need to practice better communication.... we did 10 days of stim medications/injections. I cannot remember the exact meds. I think I used Gonal F, menapour, estradiol and PIO. I used Pregnyl for the trigger. I believe I had to do 3 days of Ganirelix. Whatever I did do it worked because we retrieved 22 eggs! And out of 22 eggs we had 4 perfect embryos!
