Center for Human Reproduction

They give the same protocol to everyone. They are not flexible in customizing treatment. Lab is a chaos. Nurses are so unorganized. Dr. Barad is nice when you see him. But that doesn't help in the rest of the treatment. They don't explain what is going on during the treatment. They just see you for a minute, give you orders. Nurses are so poor in explaining and communicating.

Dr. Kushnir is technical and specific about your individual care. He explains things logically and answers all of my questions completely. I felt like he had a real plan for me from the start and wasn't making things up as we went along, which is how I felt a lot of the time with other physicians.

Thoroughly explained what my issues were, and assured that I still have a chance to get pregnant with my own eggs. Very good on following up.

He looked deeply into the possible causes of my individual infertility...instead of just lumping me into a big group of infertile women

He seems to care more about making money off of me rather than trying to treat me.

Busy clinic often full waiting room.

Dr. Barad was consistently gentle with my body and with my emotions. He always allowed time for my humanity--and his own. He was a great comfort during a miserable time in my life.

He is more nurturing than Gleser. He will work with the best timeline for you family. I had a broken leg and young child and he convinced me to wait.

Dr. Gleicher is very medical, so he doesn’t have a warm and cozy demeanor in general. Upon meeting him, he wasn’t too concerned about my protocol because of my age. I believe he assumed my case would be easy, however, he completely butchered my protocol resulting in a failed retrieval.

I felt like a human. Very individual care. Really looked into underlying issues which I did not know I had. An excited to try for the next IVF with his protocol for a successful IVF and delivery of a healthy baby.

Dr Kushnir always smiled at me and spoke to me in a personal manner. He remembered every question I had asked in between visits and always made direct eye contact

He was too busy to call me once so i had to speak to another doctor. I had to pay each time i had an online appt

Dr. Barad is a phenomenal human being, knowledgeable, professional, caring, honest, approachable, kind, and compassionate.

At 44 years old, I'm sixth months pregnant, and I owe it all to the wonderful doctors, nurses, and staff at CHR. When I first visited them, I was completely green at the world of IVF. I knew I was at an advanced age for conceiving my first child, so I went to them immediately when I made the decision to try. I hadn't looked on blogs or read books or talked to a million friends about the process. What I found at CHR was a group of people who were willing to hold my hand and be there for me every step of the way. Their townhouse office felt warm and welcoming--not cold and clinical, and everyone I encountered had the exact same effect on me. In addition to that familiar feeling, the doctors are absolute experts approaching each case on an individual level and with the deepest scientific rigor. As we went through the process, the doctors were constantly monitoring my levels and tweaking the program to achieve the best results. Although it was disappointing to not have the first transfer work, I knew there was hope and that they would do everything to figure out a way to succeed. When I found out that I was pregnant after my fourth transfer, watching the embryo grow for several weeks with regular visits was magical. I found it difficult to say goodbye when I was released to my OB-GYN, but I felt comfortable and confident because they helped me find the right OB for the next part of my journey.

Dr Gleicher took time to personally address our many questions and apprehensions, putting us at ease that, while our hopes and prior experiences were low, that he WOULD succeed. We found him to be accessible and approachable, besides the obvious, extremely knowledgeable expert in his field.

CHR is the absolute best! I live in Florida and have made Dr. Barad my official RE after going through a clinical study with him. He is the kindest, most knowledgeable RE I have yet to meet. I've pretty much exhausted all options in FL because I visited the top two REs in my area (Orlando) and they were terrible and my experiences were traumatic. I then moved on to another RE in Winter Park but the clinic (and doctor) are nothing like CHR. From the front desk staff to the nurses, all the way upstairs to the Phlebotomist who took my blood. They were ALL soooo amazing. I was just absolutely stunned. But, of course, my favorite person there is Dr. Barad. He treats you like you're family. He looks at you in the eyes like you're a real human being. He treats you like you're competent and doesn't explain simple concepts to you as if you were a child. I had absolutely no negative feelings about my entire experience. I am actually going back next Friday and my husband and I are both excited. Can you imagine being excited to travel to NY during a pandemic to have sharp needles stuck in your arms and to have another procedure? Yes, excited! THAT is how wonderful CHR is. Oh and also I wanted to mention that Lori (Lorenis) has been incredibly communicative and helpful the entire 2+ months that I've been "working" with her. I can't imagine going anywhere else for this. I have found my RE and I couldn't be more grateful.
