Greenwich Fertility and IVF Center

The volume of patients makes it difficult to feel like your treatment is a priority. Bedside manner and time taken to address concerns made me feel more connected

Dr.Meyer, Nicole and the rest of the nurses at GF were always so friendly whenever I came in for an appointment. They all remembered my name and would ask how I was doing. Dana at the front desk was also amazing, and did an incredible job answering any questions I had whenever I called in or saw her.

I never felt like a number. Dr. Witt always had an individualized and tailored approach to my care and I felt he was always speaking to me and my specific needs and situation.

From the moment I walked into the Tuckahoe office, I felt at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and calming. The office staff knew my name and addressed me fondly each time I arrived. I did not feel like a number. I felt like they were my biggest cheerleaders. I went to a NYC "factory" IVF clinic and no one could care less about me let alone know anything about my history.

Dr. Meyer was our 'second opinion' doctor and with such a terrible experience at our first doctor, things could really only go up from there. Well they not only went up but they FAR exceeded our expectations. Dr. Meyer's bedside manner is amazing. She truly cares about her patients and take time out of her extremely busy day to answer any and all questions. She is approachable, kind, smart, responsible, careful, and so much more. We actually had very bad news happen at this doctor before getting our good news, but the way she handled it all was amazing; she allowed us to have the strength to go through with it all again.

My diagnosis was very generic, without much interest in root cause. I felt like she was just interested in prescribing the same course of treatment for everyone. Each interaction is brief and because of the way the clinic is managed, half the time you will see a different doctor anyway. The other doctors prefer you ask questions to 'your doctor', which ultimately means speaking with a nurse.

When I ran into Dr. Brauer at Whole Foods she gave me a hug. It doesn't get more human feeling than that. In the office, we will connect on a person level like notice we share the same nail color then get down to business.

Rarely followed up, her nurses did everything including my medical regiment. She spews statistics with no humanistic feel for the patient and for the arduous process IVF actually is.

Dr. Miller previously ran her own practice, but now has joined with the team at Greenwich Fertility (located in Greenwich and Stamford). With only a handful of exceptions when she was not available, she walked us through the treatment plan each month, did every ultrasound, every IUI, and transfer. The only appointments where I wasn't scheduled to see her were just blood draws, and even then she'd usually poke her head in just to check on how things were going, see if I had any side effects, or just chat. I'm a scientist, so I asked to know blood and guts, and she explained every detail about what each medication does, how it interacts with everything else you're taking, and what kinds of side effects to expect. When you're on so many different meds, understanding what everything does can be crucial for catching errors (pharmacy sending something incorrect, etc.). When she does ultrasounds, she takes the time to point out and explain every feature that she sees. One of the few times she was not available, I got one of the other doctors in the practice who wouldn't even let me see the screen - I can't imagine doing that every other day for weeks at a time. She also makes patient-centered choices on treatment setup. There are various steps along the way where the outcome is the same, but the logistics can be significantly worse - for example, taking 3-4 shots a day vs. mixing meds when stimming for IVF. Dr. Miller went out of her way to choose the technique that she felt would be the easiest and offer the least interference. Where that wasn't possible, (I had to be on PIO injections due to trigger type), she adjusted needle types and gave tips on improving the injections to make the process more tolerable, and got me off of those injections as quickly as possible rather than the "better safe than sorry, but your ass will be a pincushion for 3 months" method used by many clinics. Many fertility practices treat women like they'e at a cattle call, but I never felt that way with Dr. Miller.

The office was wonderful. The nurses were all quick to share their own stories as a means of reassuring me of the probability of success. Dr Brauer was always quick to return a call or see me whenever i needed to come in. Her bedside manner put me totally at ease. She communicated all steps in the process in our first meeting and at every step reassured me that this will work- and she was right!

I felt as though the nursing staff was very caring, however the doctor was a bit impersonal. It felt like he was doing things "by the book" rather than really evaluating what might be wrong and making adjustments every cycle to try and achieve a success.

Dr Meyer has excellent EQ and if very warm making the experience less sterile and formal feeling.

Warm, kind, great listener

Very personal bedside manner, always had separate appointments after failed procedures to discuss next steps, good about knowing persoanl details and following up on prior discussions

Dr Witt and his team was compassionate and you felt like you were his only patient.

Dr. Miller is a warm and genuine doctor who makes one feel comfortable. She ensures that one understands every aspect of the procedure and is very detail-oriented. She definitely made me feel like a human and not like a number.

I suffered a miscarriage from my first pregnancy after 10 months of trying and Dr. Miller showed no emotion when telling me she could not find the heartbeat during an ultrasound

Front desk and nursing staff all knew name upon entering the office. Wonderful group of people who Made a not so great situation of going through fertility treatments a little easier.

He was very engaged with my treatment - I had the best experience working with him and everyone at Greenwich Fertility. He would explain things clearly and seemed really invested in making sure we got the best possible results.

The staff in the office is incredible. I never feel like a both and always feel comfortable while there. They respond to emails and phone messages in a very timely manner

Dr. Witt spent as much time with me as I needed. Always answered any questions, calming my nerves, comforting me during what can be a difficult journey.

She was very delicate when discussing our plan. She hugged us during both the happy and sad times. I felt like she was on this journey with us.

Dr. Meyer always took time to explain everything thoroughly and to answer any questions you had. Never felt rushed and always felt like she was most interested in ensuring you were comfortable and well informed.
