Attention to Detail

Attention to detail is on a 1 - 10 scale, and is scored based on the rate, and severity, of errors committed by the clinic according to the patients.

For example, a severe error might be failing to inform a patient of critical information, while a small error might be failing to call a patient with results.

CDC Success Rates

This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.

For more information please see our FAQs.

Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.

Describe the protocols Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) used in your cycles at Braverman Reproductive Immunology and their degree of success.
1sy cycle - Nature pregnancy- dr Braverman does not use clomid as he believes it worsens the Endometriosis. He put me on Femara for 5 days starting day 3 of cycle. From day 10 to 15 he used to do ultrasound to see how many follicles grow up. He also put me on Neupogen, lovenox, intarlipids, metformin and aspirin. I did conceive this cycle but misscarried with no heartbeat. He figured my omega6 to omega3 ratio was high causing more inflammation. So next cycle he put me on 1200mg fish oil 2 pills twice a day. 2nd cycle- Natural pregnancy- After correcting my omega6 to omega3 ratio second cycle saw the heartbeat with same protocol but I still misscarried as gestational sac was looking scattered on ultrasound. He figured there us something wrong with my uterus lining and advised me to go for first ivf so that he can have more control to see what's going on with uterus lining. 3rd cycle -ivf - we did egg retrieval and after that started finding out uterine lining issues. Did couple of EFT tests from yale university which revealed more glandular development and vaginal progesterone did not help to bring it down. So he put me on 3 months of depot lupron and after it we did frozen transfer. I still misscarried. Entire protocol was same except this time I did PIO shots instead suppositories.

Describe your experience with Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
Long wait to get appointments for new patients. Immune test results takes longer to get the results but once you have the results dr starts protocol as per our request. Drive to clinic is more than 3 hours for me and sometimes it's more waiting time once inside the clinic. Staff is very good.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
To become a new patient and manage 3 pregnancies initially I had to pay 3000 one time payment.after that each visit for ultrasound was billed to my insurance.

How was your experience with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
Well, where do I begin. I learned I had "elevated killer cells" in 2012 and had no idea what that even meant. I found Dr. Braverman online, emailed him right away and what do you know, he emailed me immediately back. We spoke, he clarified what this means and what do you know, we had a possibility of something other than "unexplained." We did testing, found out my immune system was attacking my system, embryo and any chance of having a child. Dr. Braverman then developed a protocol designed specifically for me and once implemented with my doctor in Florida, I was pregnant and gave birth to my daughter in 2014. Then in 2015, we wanted to try for Baby #2. We thought we had the magic protocol but apparently by body and age, had changed the game. Dr. Braverman then worked with us again from 2015 until 2018 trying different options and finally, I sit here today pregnant with Baby No. 2. Why? It is due to Dr. Braverman constantly thinking outside the box, coming up with other options, protocols and never ever once giving up on our case. It is important going through something so emotional, physical and expensive to have a doctor that will be there with you through it all and not give up or treat you like a number.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
I would advise any prospective patient to be honest, open, tell him everything about you, your past, your medical history and your dos and don'ts in terms of what you will or will not be willing to do. Dr. Braverman can then use this information going forward and save you time in trial and error.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
I truly feel that Dr. Braverman and his staff treated me like a human as my case was rather complicated. Dr. Braverman always either sat down with me in person or over the phone (since I am in Florida) to go over my testing, my cycles, immune results and came up with a customized plan on how to have the family my husband and I always dreamed of having.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Braverman Reproductive Immunology. (Assigned nurse: Jasmine D'Allessandro )
Jasmine D'Allessandro was amazing, always available, clarified any questions or information I was concerned about. I would always be able to email her anytime and would always get a prompt response back. It is very important for a patient in another state to have access to information and clarification and I found that without a doubt with Dr. Braverman's office and Jasmine.
Describe your experience with Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
Well, I worked with Dr. Braverman's office from 2012 to the Present so I know how great the practice truly is. I honestly have nothing critical to say about Dr. Bravermans practice. The billing and insurance department was always available and went above and beyond to assist me in trying to work with my insurance company to get procedures covered and always worked with me if I needed anything in terms of billing with Dr. Braverman's office. The front desk was wonderful in terms of scheduling, always working with my flight schedule if I was to come into town or if it was a simple phone call with Dr. Braverman to discuss a failed cycle, a successful cycle or the next steps in our process.

Dr Vidali was very easy to talk to and explained everything clearly. He came off warm and caring. He was very involved with pre and post care for my laparoscopy. He gave me his cell number to text him if anything came up which really alleviated my anxiety when recovering from a difficult surgery...This dr truly believed that endometriosis could be a factor. He explained the surgery and what to expect very clearly.
This clinic is very nice. You dont need to wait long for an appointment and they treat you like a human there. I honestly cant think of any weaknesses...The cost of my surgery with this dr. [Vidal] was $10,000 because my insurance did not cover this procedure and he is known to be one of the best endometriosis excision specialists in NY...[nurses] They were very nice and communicated with me in a timely manner and only when needed.
How was your experience with Andrea Vidali at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
I had a really good experience with this dr. I had 3 failed IVFS in which I produced many eggs and embryos and all the embryos would arrest or would be poor quality. I also never conceived naturally or with IUI. I was nervous to do surgery to explore for endometriosis, adhesions, polyps, fibroids..etc but felt like it was pointless to keep doing IVFS and getting the same results. This dr truly believed that endometriosis could be a factor. He explained the surgery and what to expect very clearly. He was very accessible for questions/concerns pre and post surgery.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Andrea Vidali at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
My advice would be to relax and be calm because this dr. truly has everything covered and it very gentle.

He is pretty accessible and even lets you email questions to him which he always answers that same day. He can come off as blunt... He also found some small immunological issues which could be contributing to inability to conceive naturally, with IUI and having failed IVF's. ...He has lots of research backing up his immune treatments and seems to be very dedicated to his work...Dr. Braverman leaves no stone un-turned.
This clinic [Braverman] can be somewhat disorganized at times so you need to be on top of your test results and call in to get them. It is easy to make an appointment and they seem flexible. The staff there are very nice as well. Stacey helped me a lot to to get reimbursement from my insurance company. She was SUPER helpful! Judy who is in charge of finances is also a pleasure to work with. The front desk receptionist Darlene is also very sweet and easy to communicate with.
How was your experience with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
Dr. Braverman is the 6th Dr. I have been to on this long 5 year journey of infertility. Ive done multiple IVFs producing many eggs and embryos however none would make it to blast or if they did would be poor quality. No doctor could tell me why and we did every test imaginable! Dr. Braverman suggested endometriosis and immunological testing can be an answer for this anomaly. I did an laparoscopy like he suggested and endometriosis was in fact found. He also found some small immunological issues which could be contributing to inability to conceive naturally, with IUI and having failed IVF's. I so far did one IUI with his immune meds and awaiting for the results but I am hopeful. Dr. Braverman always answered any questions I had and was very easy to contact via email. He has lots of research backing up his immune treatments and seems to be very dedicated to his work.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
My advice would be to get ready to take lots and lots of medications which can be overwhelming. A lot of this immunology testing is really confusing but you just need to trust him. Dr. Braverman leaves no stone un-turned.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
I feel like a human being treated by Dr. Braverman. He is pretty accessible and even lets you email questions to him which he always answers that same day. He can come off as blunt but he is the 6th dr I have been to so I dont mind it and appreciate that he can back up his theories.
Describe the protocols Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) used in your cycles at Braverman Reproductive Immunology and their degree of success.
My first IUI with Dr. Braverman we used 5mg of letrozole for 5 days, triggered with ovidrel and had back to back IUI's 2 days in a row. The day of my IUI I had to start taking lovenox 40mg (blood thinner for APA's_ twice a day, prednisone 10mg (a steroid for immune factors) twice a day, and Crinone a few days later once in the AM. All of these medications were to treat any immune factor that affect conception. I am still in this current cycle so dont know if it worked yet but I am hopeful since no other dr could tell me why I could not conceive naturally.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Braverman Reproductive Immunology. (Assigned nurse: Jasmine)
I have spoken to several nurses but for this current cycle Jasmine was the main one. She was very helpful and sent out a detailed email with instructions on how to take many complicated medications. She was also quick to answer my emails and showed me how to do the lovenox injections.

My full immune panel cost $3,000 and that includes his analyzing of your results and 3 natural monitored cycles. The lab fee for this testing was around $1500. If you decided to do a laparoscopy out of pocket its $10.000.

At a previous fertility clinic, I had tried a blanket immune protocol with Predinose (40 mgs) starting after ovulation and lovenox (40 mgs) but it failed and I had my 8th miscarriage. Dr Braverman did a laparoscopy on me and found stage 2 Endometriosis. He advised me to take a 3 month break from fertility treatments and take prednisone 10 mgs, Omega 3s, his supplement “Endo- optimize” and try a gluten free diet...That seemed to do the trick as pregnancy #9 worked!
Overall, I would say the strength quite outweigh the weaknesses [at Braverman Reproductive Immunology]...When it comes to strengths at this clinic, I had great experiences with staff, I was always informed very well what the next treatments will be, nurses and doctors answered my inquiries promptly. As for the negatives, They seem somewhat disorganized and possibly overwhelmed with patient volume, When meeting with Dr. Braverman he often didn’t see us until 30 minutes to an hour after the appointment was booked which could be quite frustrating when you had to take time off work to attend the appointment.
How was your experience with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
Dr Braverman was a god sent for us! If it weren’t for him I’m sure I wouldn’t have had my daughter in April 2018. My husband and I were apprehensive after the first consultation because we had experienced so much heartbreak and loss that it was hard to trust that things would be different with Dr Braverman. I was beginning to believe I was a hopeless cause because all other doctors said there was nothing more they could do for us but he seemed very adamant that he could help us and he did. He was willing to leave no stone unturned and thought outside the box. Coming from someone who works in the medical field, he is a wonderfully smart man and very gifted at what he does. I would definitely recommend him!

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
I felt like a human under Dr. Bravermans care because he was personable and always answered my emails and phone calls promptly. Dr. Braverman even went out of his way to check on me even after I had passed the first trimester to make sure that my baby and I were doing ok.

After 3 months he had me on as follows: Femara days 5-13, after ovulation he had me up my dose of Predinose to 40 mgs until weaning at 12 weeks, low dose aspirin and 40 mgs of lovenox throughout my whole pregnancy, Neupogen shots from 3 days past ovulation to 9 weeks, and progesterone. He monitored how my immune system was responding throughout the first trimester and sometimes adjusted doses accordingly. That seemed to do the trick as pregnancy #9 worked!

Dr. Braverman and his staff [Braverman Repro] responded to me in a timely and personal manner. They responded as if they knew me personally even though we never met in person. There was always someone to answer the phone and provide a real person to talk to almost immediately. And they did well with managing emotions and anxieties/questions during the process...Dr. Braverman prescribed a immunological workup of blood tests for me and my husband.
I had two nurses [Braverman - Woodbury] that responded to my care during the 1st trimester of my pregnancy. They provided bloodwork results and provided feedback on changes to my drug regimen.

Their communication via email/phone was excellent...As an out of state patient, I had seen a local fertility doctor with no success.

How was your experience with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
As an out of state patient, I had seen a local fertility doctor with no success. Dr. Braverman was able to partner with my local doctor and continue my care without having to travel to NYC the entire time. Our experience was not the inability to get pregnant but stay pregnant. He was able to identify our issue and had a medical protocol to manage the pregnancy so we did not lose another baby. He answered questions via email quickly throughout the pregnancy and also his nursing staff would answer questions via email and phone.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
It is always important to get an second opinion. If you can't get the result that you want, there is a potential to get a different response with a doctor who specializes in something different. Dr. Braverman is a scientist, specializing in the reasons for infertility and experiment with new medicines and methods to help achieve your goal.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
Dr. Braverman and his staff responded to me in a timely and personal manner. They responded as if they knew me personally even though we never met in person. There was always someone to answer the phone and provide a real person to talk to almost immediately. And they did well with managing emotions and anxieties/questions during the process.
Describe the protocols Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) used in your cycles at Braverman Reproductive Immunology and their degree of success.
Dr. Braverman prescribed a immunological workup of blood tests for me and my husband. These results were able to provide us with answers regarding the immunological response to pregnancy in my body. He suggested that I have silent endometriosis and to have surgery in NYC. Since I had a previous surgery, I was able to provide the video and voice over to his surgeon and he evaluated that I did not have endometriosis. Therefore, we tried to get pregnant on our own with success. I started his supplement list with vitamins and Endo-Optimize immediately after meeting with him as well as eliminated gluten from my diet and changed food sourcing to be as local as possible especially for meat. As soon as I became pregnant, Dr. Braverman ordered bloodwork every 2 weeks and he adjusted my drug regimen during the first trimester. I was on a high dose of Prednisone, Neupogen and Lovenox. I was also previously on Synthroid and remained on that treatment throughout pregnancy. Also during my 1st trimester, I would get an ultrasound every two weeks with my local doctor and he would administer IVIG (Intralipids) every 2 weeks per the recommendation of Dr. Braverman. During the 3rd trimester, I switched to Heparin at week 36 weeks and remained for 6 weeks postpartum. Baby girl was delivered in February 2017!!
Describe your experience with your nurse at Braverman Reproductive Immunology. (Assigned nurse: Linda and Jasmine)
I had two nurses that responded to my care during the 1st trimester of my pregnancy. They provided bloodwork results and provided feedback on changes to my drug regimen. Due to the fact that I was an out of state patient, I never met either in person. Their communication via email/phone was excellent.
Describe your experience with Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
I never visited this clinic in person.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
Dr. Braverman has an initial cost for the beginning of treatment that provides care. We also paid about $1500 for the initial immunological testing that was diagnostic. Once I was pregnant, we paid another fee, equal to the first, for the duration of our care. Any readings of bloodwork were an additional fee.

Dr. Braverman was much more attentive and available than our previous doctor. He was also far more thorough from the very beginning. He suspected my "silent" endometriosis from the first consultation. Other doctors may have led me through multiple IVF cycles without addressing that fundamental issue. He also diagnosed and treated other underlying conditions that our previous doctor had missed. His approach helped us have a healthy child and we are very grateful.
The nursing staff [at Braverman Reproductive Immunology] is very knowledgeable and diligent. They are generally pretty responsive as well. I definitely felt like they delivered personalized and compassionate care.... Prednisone, intralipids, neupogen, metformin, lovenox, baby aspirin, resveratrol, vitamin d, melatonin, coQ10, pine tree bark, fish oil, prenatal vitamins... The operation is more intimate than most of the larger, hospital-affiliated centers in the area. Patients typically have the option to see a doctor in Manhattan for monitoring, which may be more convenient for some people than Woodbury

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
My insurance company covered monitoring, but not procedures, which I believe cost $6,000-$10,000 per cycle. I also had coverage for some but not all of the medications. This was a huge cost, especially for ovarian stimulation drugs and neupogen. The immunological testing ordered through Reprosource was also very expensive.
What specific things went wrong at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
  • Failed to call with results
  • Failed to order appropriate test

Dr. Braverman accepted me as a patient when other doctors had no hope for me. After so many losses my prognosis looked bleak without using a gestational surrogate. He had the means to give me answers and felt he could help me and ultimately helped make my family a reality. He took the time to go over my results himself and also do my preconception physical when I went to see him before trying for our second child. And when I unexpectedly became pregnant with my third child he helped get the medications I needed to also make that pregnancy successful. I'm very lucky to have found Dr. Braverman.
Strengths of this clinic [Braverman Reproductive Immunology] include state of the art suite of immune testing, convenience of doing lab draws in house and also infusions should you need to have one. I am of course assuming all of this is still current information. Convenience from NYC to the Woodbury isn't the best, so if you are traveling you will probably need a rental car from the airport or amtrak. Luckily there are hotel options that are not too far from the clinic in Woodbury. This location also has a research team who analyzes patient data and immune results. There is a fee associated with this. The website does outline their fees better than information I could provide here and they did change for each of my pregnancies so likely whatever I put will be outdated. Just be aware that the fees may be more and/or higher than you expect them to be. On one occasion I did have a wait in the office and traffic back to NYC made it hard for me to get my rental car back in time to catch my train. Make sure to give yourself plenty of extra time if you go to the office to visit and allow extra time for traffic back into the city.
How was your experience with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
I loved Dr. Braverman's sense of humor. He thinks outside the box and is willing to try treatments that other doctors would never try. I really felt like he cared about me and my family. I honestly can't thank Dr. Braverman for everything he has done for me including giving me hope and making himself available through email and phone. During my second successful pregnancy I developed IUGR and even though his policy at the time was to monitor through first trimester I contacted him at 28w with this news asking for advice. He instructed me to go back in my intralipid treatment and suggested other therapies and we were able to reverse the IUGR. I was monitored very closely and we could see this trend starting around 20w. Dr. Braverman was gracious and kind enough to help me even though I was no longer his patient. And now I have three Braverman babies because of him and his staff. My advice to others in this situation if you are not a textbook case and there is no explanation for your losses please go see him and get his comprehensive immune testing. If you are a fairly run of the mill case then maybe you don't need the "big guns". But if you want the best and you want success there is no question that you need to go see Dr. Braverman. Good luck to any others out there reading this I certainly wish you all what I have now :-)
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
My advice to others out there struggling... Trust your gut, if you think there is more going on with your body than standard tests can detect please get comprehensive testing with a doctor with a team of people who can help interpret and treat the issues that may come up. Also, please don't let any doctor tell you that immune treatment is voodoo for fertility. There are so many studies out there telling us otherwise.

Describe the protocols Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) used in your cycles at Braverman Reproductive Immunology and their degree of success.
For all three of my successful pregnancies we used Neupogen, intralipids, lovenox, prednisone, and synthroid. This was after I miscarried twice on IVIG and Humira (plus lovenox, prednisone and synthriod) with another clinic. All were natural conceptions and treatments generally started at the beginning of the cycle or ovulation. The dosages were different for each pregnancy. For my first successful pregnancy (pregnancy #9) I only used Neupogen (1mcg/kg for low Tregs to 12w), lovenox (60mg twice a day for FVL and +APS) and synthroid (borderline hypothyroid) plus 1 dose of intralipids. Successful induction at 39w. Second successful pregnancy I had to be on prednisone (10mg to 14w) to get pregnant and then I had to have intralipids every 2 weeks plus lovenox, Neupogen and synthroid for all the reasons mentioned above. I went back on intralipds and a higher dosage of lovenox (80mg twice a day) after the IUGR diagnosis at 29w which we were able to reverse by 36w. Successful induction at 38w5d. Third successful pregnancy higher dose of prednisone (20mg to 16w) and higher dose of Neupogen (1.5mcg/kg) probably from starting them late plus 60mg of lovenox twice a day and intralipids every 2 weeks. Diagnosed with CVP at 12w and monitored closely throughout. Successful induction at 38w6d.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Braverman Reproductive Immunology. (Assigned nurse: Cynthia, Sandra, )
On multiple occasions either Sandra or Cynthia had to put in orders for blood work or immune testing for me and did so in a prompt manner. They were always nice and willing to help. I was a long distance patient so everything had to be done via email or on the phone. I did have the pleasure of meeting them on one occasion and they were just as nice in person.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
This changed with each pregnancy along with the number of tests and treatments available to patients through several years. Also in that time Dr. Braverman has added his research team which also accounts for the additional costs. I believe that with my first pregnancy fees were $2,000 and included first trimester monitoring with additional costs of testing. I paid OOP for my Neupogen but could get next day delivery of medication through the pharmacy Dr. Braverman works with. For my second successful pregnancy I was already a patient of his. I think my fees were $2500 and included first trimester monitoring and was good for 3 pregnancies. I did need to go see him in person for this preconception appointment, 6w and 12w, and had additional costs associated with that. For my last successful pregnancy I think the immune management fee was $3000 and included monitoring for my entire pregnancy. I again paid OOP for my Neupogen but at this point knew a few places that I could get it a bit cheaper. The immune panels were through Reprosource's safeguard program and were ~$500 each but insurance covered them for my last pregnancy so I had no additional costs for that other than medications. Again, their website has a better outline of the costs associated with a cycle. Also keep in mind I did not have any ART with these, they were all natural conceptions.

My two nurses were good at Dr. Braverman's office but the staff can be very disorganized and finance is notorious for late billing - so that's something for patients to know. I forgot to mention in my review but I was charged for test result analysis 16 and 10 months late - my baby was almost 6 months old and I wasn't getting a paycheque as I was on leave! That kind of lack of organization is offensive to me since we paid out of pocket. I think there is work to be done there, even though I quite liked the head of finance Judy and found her very helpful when you could actually track her down to talk to her.

By the time I called Dr. Braverman we had been trying to conceive for 8 years and in this time we had done 3 cycles of Clomid, 3 AI's and 16 IVF's including frozen transfers and I had, had 4 bio chemical pregnancies. I was pregnant with my baby girl by my 2nd cycle of treatment with Dr. Braverman. We tried Neupogen and it worked the first time we tried it! When it came to trying to conceive my 2nd child my circumstances has changed completely. Due to complications during my last IVF procedure I lost both my ovaries so was in surgical menopause and still Dr. Braverman never gave up on me. He was right there again just as he was before to guide me and my doctors in South Africa each and every step of the way. Today I have 2 healthy happy miracle children. I give thanks daily to Dr. Braverman for going the extra mile f
I felt like a human as Dr. Braverman gave me hope when no other doctor had any answers for me other than unexplained infertility and to try a surrogate. Dr Braverman took my call immediately when I made my very first desperate call to him all the way from South Africa. I had already spent a substantial amount of money with another clinic in the USA who specialised in immunological infertility and they said there's nothing further they can do for me. When I spoke with Dr. Braverman he said I still have options and he can help me. So although I have not met with him in NY he has worked with my doctors in South Africa and managed my protocol over email, Skype and telephonically. He answered every single email and call of mine personally. He was always available to me when I needed him even if it was just for reassurance during my pregnancy. Even though I am in South Africa, Dr. Braverman managed my protocol from NY and it was perfect. I felt as though he held my hand every step of the way.

How was your experience with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
When every doctor was out of answers and everyone I knew was telling me to give up and try a surrogate Dr. Braverman was there to say he had a few more options we can still try. In his words my case has been one of the most difficult in his experience and here I sit today with 2 beautiful healthy children. If a friend of mine had not found Dr. Braverman's website and given me the details I would not have the family I have today. Dr. Braverman worked with my doctors in South Africa to advise them on the best protocol for my immune related infertility. It was not necessary for me to travel to NY or to send blood to the USA as I had previously done. By the time I called Dr. Braverman we had been trying to conceive for 8 years and in this time we had done 3 cycles of Clomid, 3 AI's and 16 IVF's including frozen transfers and I had, had 4 bio chemical pregnancies.

I give thanks daily to Dr. Braverman for going the extra mile for me and thinking out of the box and to my Drs in South Africa that were willing to work with Dr. Braverman to help my dream to become a reality. I feel it's such a privilege for anyone going through infertility to be in NY and be able to be treated by Dr. Braverman personally. Having said that it made no difference to my treatment that I was in South Africa. It was as though Dr. Braverman was right here with me.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
I believe you are in the best hand possible with Dr. Braverman. Distance makes no difference to your treatment protocol. So if you're in another country don't let that stop you from making the call to Dr. Braverman. He can help you and if he can't he will tell you but you can be assured he will leave no rock unturned.

Describe the protocols Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) used in your cycles at Braverman Reproductive Immunology and their degree of success.
The first time we used Neupogen was the first time I was able to fall pregnant and stay pregnant with my baby girl. The same thing with my next pregnancy. Dr. Braverman suggested HCG injections to thicken and improve the structure of my uterine lining. This worked perfectly and once we got my uterine lining looking how it was supposed look we used neupogen again and I conceived by miracle boy. We also used Clexane, Intralipids and injectable oestrogen.

He [Dr Braverman] made me feel like a human compared to other fertility clinics because other REs told me that reproductive immunology was nonsense. But, it was clear that it was what I needed to hold a pregnancy to term. What he does is beyond an IVF factory line and he has developed tests that help diagnose an individuals immune issues. Even compared to other Reproductive Immunology doctors his test are just so much more thorough and his treatment is individualized for each patient. The other doctor who treated my immune issues (without success) appeared to give everyone the same protocol.
There were some bumps in the road when I first started. But, Braverman is a genius and fully responsible for treating my immune issues and helping me finally carry baby boy to term. Other clinics are completely out of date with their understanding (or lack thereof) of immunology. Overall, I had a wonderful experience wit Braverman and am going back when I plan to start trying for a second. I highly highly recommend. One other thing that I was not prompted to comment on was the experience of my transfer. Although, I guess this would have been appropriate in the why I felt treated like a human section. My actual transfer experience with Dr. Braverman far surpassed my experience at NYU. This was at Braverman's 23rd st clinic (I believe he has a new clinic now) so it was not at nice looking as NYU's facility but it was just SO much more humane..
How was your experience with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
Again, there were some bumps in the road at this clinic. But, since he was the only doctor who was able to acknowledge and treat my immune issues so that I was able to keep a pregnancy -- I was miscarrying genetically normal embryos at NYU -- he will only get great grades from me. Anyone who is struggling with unexplained high FSH, endometriosis or RPL MUST go to him.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
The immune drugs are brutal - be prepared. Not for the weak. But, if you want a baby he is your best bet. This is where many people go when they do not have any other options and have lost many babies and a lot of those people get their miracles from him. Hopefully, more people start with him first and save themselves money and heartache. If only I started with him....
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
I will not mark anything bad about Dr. Braverman, he is not perfect. At first his office seemed a little sloppy to me. And sometimes I do not understand his sense of humor. BUT, Dr. Braverman is a genius and a pioneer in the field of reproductive immunology. I follow other patients and am in online communities and can see he really is the doctor to go to for reproductive immunology. He made me feel like a human compared to other fertility clinics because other REs told me that reproductive immunology was nonsense. But, it was clear that it was what I needed to hold a pregnancy to term. What he does is beyond an IVF factory line and he has developed tests that help diagnose an individuals immune issues. Even compared to other Reproductive Immunology doctors his test are just so much more thorough and his treatment is individualized for each patient. The other doctor who treated my immune issues (without success) appeared to give everyone the same protocol.
Describe the protocols Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) used in your cycles at Braverman Reproductive Immunology and their degree of success.
I transferred my last PGD normal embryo from NYU (a clinic that will get a negative review from me) to Braverman's lab for a frozen transfer. I used Dr. Braverman’s immune protocol as prescribed (except protocol was changed bc IVIG was not covered by my insurance) and went to an acupuncturist, Angela Le, who helped me with diet and supplements. 2.5 mg of Letrozole at bedtime for 5 days starting 12 days before 5 day transfer (this is for endometriosis and implantation, I believe). 40mg 2X a day of Lovenox starting about 15 days before 5 day transfer (for implantation and because women w immune issues are prone to thrombophelia) – I switched to 40 mg once a day when I had a bad bleed at 18 weeks and continued this dose through 36 weeks of pregnancy when I was switched to heparin. Baby Asprin one pill a day but stopped after I had a bad bleed at 18 weeks.. 40mg of prednisone (I started this end of Jan/2014 and my transfer wasn't until 4/12/14. Bc I had to take it for 2 weeks an then wait 2 weeks for the blood test to come back to make sure it was working and then wait for me to get my period and then suppress the cycle -–[ I took BCP for a while and then Lupron for cycle suppression]. I had some bad side effects at 40 mg of prednisone so at 9 weeks pregnant he dropped me to 20 mg. He would have preferred me to stay on 40mg but he had to balance my health with the baby's) Intralipids every other week starting about 2 weeks before transfer. .4 cc of Delestrogen 2 times (Tues evening and Friday evening) a week injected in bum from 15 days before transfer until 12 weeks pregnant (although he let me stop at 10 weeks). 2 ml progesterone injected nightly in the bum nightly starting 5 days before 5 day transfer. Estrogen and progesterone (E2 V2 with P4 2/100) suppositories - not sure when I started these but I think the day of transfer. He also had me take some doxycycline before the transfer but cannot remember exact days. Finally, he also had me use and some sort of antibiotic vaginal suppository as well before transfer. All my other transfers either failed to implant or resulted in miscarraiges. It's clear Braverman's immune treatment is what helped me have a very healthy baby boy delivered at 41.5 weeks.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Braverman Reproductive Immunology. (Assigned nurse: Sandra and Linda)
Again, they were not perfect. But, they were amazing when it counted. Absolutely compassionate and have been doing this for a very long time.
Describe your experience with Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
There were some bumps in the road when I first started. But, Braverman is a genius and fully responsible for treating my immune issues and helping me finally carry baby boy to term. Other clinics are completely out of date with their understanding (or lack thereof) of immunology. Overall, I had a wonderful experience wit Braverman and am going back when I plan to start trying for a second. I highly highly recommend. One other thing that I was not prompted to comment on was the experience of my transfer. Although, I guess this would have been appropriate in the why I felt treated like a human section. My actual transfer experience with Dr. Braverman far surpassed my experience at NYU. This was at Braverman's 23rd st clinic (I believe he has a new clinic now) so it was not at nice looking as NYU's facility but it was just SO much more humane..
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology.
I think it was about $16,000 for the transfer and immune testing and monitoring through week 12 of my pregnancy. I have gotten about $3000 back from Reprosource which is a lab he uses after my insurance paid them more than expected.

Dr Braverman has been the most knowledgeable doctor I have seen in my 5 yrs of infertility treatments. Discovered a blood disorder (APA) and placed me on supplements to Aid in this. After 3 months on the supplements I got pregnant naturally after all other treatments in my 5 yrs with other drs not being successful...He has a great bed side manner and never made me feel it was impossible. Was encouraging and always available to Asher questions & concerns.
Everyone [at Braverman - Woodbury] was very responsive since I wS an out of state patient most correspondence was done on phone & email. Only visited office 1 time, nurse was very helpful and compassionate. They made a mistake sending out supplements but corrected it asap...Insurance is not accepted for blood work or office visits. Blood work was $3000 office visit $900 Reading of blood work every 2 weeks was extra charge..

Dr Braverman gave me chance when other doctors gave up or suggested I have a surrogate. He realized I had immune issues and dealt with them right away (through blood work, medications, etc). He was always available through email or phone whenever I had a question. Granted it's an expensive course of treatment but we have our miracle baby and I would do it all over again. I don't know any other doctors that are doing what he does.

He's [Dr. Braverman] wonderful, always explained everything and he's the only doctor to think outside the box and prescribe different medications......thanks to his immune panel, he discovered I needed to add prednisone for inflammation...He treated me with neupogen, lovenox, Metformin and steroids - when other clinics didn't even consider those drugs.Dr B doesn't do the retrieval and transfers himself.

How was your experience with Jeffrey Braverman (deceased) at Braverman Reproductive Immunology?
He's amazing and made me confident that I would take home a baby despite 2 failed previous transfers. I did take home a baby on my first cycle with him. I had two chemical pregnancies following that pregnancy, but thanks to his immune panel, he discovered I needed to add prednisone for inflammation and I got pregnant on the next cycle i had after adding the prednisone!

Do what he [Dr. Braverman] says to do! He knows his stuff! I was reluctant on more than one occasion during treatment because it was so different than my prior dr. I had to keep reminding myself that my prior treatment did not get me where I wanted to be.
Dr Braverman [of Braverman Reproductive Immunology] is extremely intelligent and gifted. He delivers quality reliable care for people like myself who have previously undefinied challenges. He seeks the underlying cause of your infertility instead of just using a trial and error approach. He is well worth the investment

I immediately panicked and found one of he nurses (Lisa) who sat with me and reassured me that she felt like I was ok. This was totally normal in a "normal pregnancy" everything ended up being fine, but I will never forget her sitting with me and rushing me back so I didn't have to sit there and wait longer.
