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.

Dr. Traub was a true professional taking the time to explain procedures and expectations. However, there was one night...I had to call after hours number to get guidance. Dr. Traub was the physician on call that night and he did not present himself with very good bedside manners. He was very short with me, providing instructions as needed, but disparaging me because I was confused by the difference between a syringe and a needle, when I was already feeling very vulnerable.
The [Island Reproductive Services] nursing staff was fantastic, always courteous when calling and taking the time to explain things and answer questions. I did learn about 8 weeks into my second pregnancy that I should have been on baby aspirin, but nobody had told me...after sitting for 2 hours with the nurse to explain everything, have me practice a self-administered intramuscular shot, etc, we were told to wait for the representative to come and discuss the billing process. We waited over 30 minutes when we were already overwhelmed and ready to go home and there was no apology given for what appeared to be just an oversight.
How was your experience with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
Dr. Traub was a true professional taking the time to explain procedures and expectations. However, there was one night when I was scheduled to begin my injections and I was completely overwhelmed with the instructions and I had to call after hours number to get guidance. Dr. Traub was the physician on call that night and he did not present himself with very good bedside manners. He was very short with me, providing instructions as needed, but disparaging me because I was confused by the difference between a syringe and a needle, when I was already feeling very vulnerable.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
Be patient with the process and don't set too high of expectations.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
I was always given the time I needed to ask questions or process any information I had been provided.
Describe the protocols Michael Traub used in your cycles at Island Reproductive Services and their degree of success.
For my first pregnancy, we had a successful IUI on the first attempt. For my second pregnancy, we attempted 3 IUIs. Dr. Traub offered an additional one, but I decided to move forward with the IVF as insurance would allow. I had a giant box of medications delivered to my house, most of which remains unused because I only underwent 1 egg retrieval and one 5-day frozen embryo transfer.

Describe your experience with Island Reproductive Services.
It was nice to have a north shore option closer to home for blood draws and ultrasounds when you are going 2 or more times a week. However, the very limited hours when they perform these procedures made it difficult to coordinate with a full-time work schedule. Additionally, when my husband and I came in for the nurse's visit to explain the whole IVF process, after sitting for 2 hours with the nurse to explain everything, have me practice a self-administered intramuscular shot, etc, we were told to wait for the representative to come and discuss the billing process. We waited over 30 minutes when we were already overwhelmed and ready to go home and there was no apology given for what appeared to be just an oversight.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services.
I honestly don't recall specifically. The twice-a-week ultrasound and blood draw visit costs definitely add up at $30 and $20 respectively. The IVF process was definitely more expensive, maybe around $3,000 with insurance. But at the end of the day, the services they provide here are priceless.
Describe Michael Traub's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Island Reproductive Services.
Being older, I probably would have chosen multiple embryo transfer had I been given the choice, however, Dr. Traub explained they don't do that and I didn't question his expertise.

Dr. Traub is warm, kind, responsive, compassionate, and honest. He took his time to explain things to me and I always left his office understanding my next steps. He understood how badly I wanted children and always made me feel heard. He responded to emails quickly and even took a call from me on a Sunday when I had a concern...Dr. Traub has an office near the Verazzano Bridge that he uses for early morning appointments, even though his main office is in Tottenville. You can easily go to morning monitoring there and still make it to work on time in Brooklyn or Manhattan.
One of their [Island Reproductive Services] main strengths is clear and frequent communication. I always understood exactly what my next step was. They always answer the phone and get back to you quickly with any questions...Morning monitoring was a breeze. They have multiple locations, with one monitoring office located right near the Verazzano Bridge which opens at 6:30 a.m. That made it easy for me to get to work in Brooklyn on time. The office was a well-oiled machine, treating patients in a pleasant and efficient manner.
How was your experience with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
I highly recommend Dr. Traub. He performed surgery on me to remove my uterine fibroids, got me pregnant with my one year old son through IVF, and I’m currently pregnant with my second child through IVF. I was Dr. Traub’s patient from April 2019-March 2022. Dr. Traub is warm, kind, responsive, compassionate, and honest. He took his time to explain things to me and I always left his office understanding my next steps. He understood how badly I wanted children and always made me feel heard. He responded to emails quickly and even took a call from me on a Sunday when I had a concern. Struggling with fertility is extremely difficult, but it wasn’t as scary with Dr. Traub guiding me through it.

Dr. Traub has an office near the Verazzano Bridge that he uses for early morning appointments, even though his main office is in Tottenville. You can easily go to morning monitoring there and still make it to work on time in Brooklyn or Manhattan.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
Dr. Traub is warm and kind, while still being direct and honest. He also hires an exceptionally pleasant staff who always treated me like a person and were sensitive to how difficult this process is. Even though I’m relieved that my fertility journey is behind me, I’m actually going to miss everyone at Dr. Traub’s office.
Describe the protocols Michael Traub used in your cycles at Island Reproductive Services and their degree of success.
First, Dr. Traub did a saline ultrasound to assess how many uterine fibroids I had. Then, he performed surgery to remove them. It took 3 months to recover, then we started IUI. After 3 failed iui’s, we started IVF. (IUI success rates are low to begin with.) My first IVF attempt was successful and I have a healthy one year old son. I returned to Dr. Traub to get pregnant again. We did two embryo transfers with embryos left over from my previous egg retrieval, but I miscarried. We did another egg retrieval and then an embryo transfer. It was successful; I’m currently ten weeks pregnant.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Island Reproductive Services. (Assigned nurse: Sally)
Sally and the rest of Dr. Traub’s team are lovely people. It’s clear that he takes the hiring process seriously. They called me every afternoon after my morning monitoring appointment and clearly explained my next steps. I enjoyed chatting with them at my frequent appointments. They made me feel comfortable at each visit.
Describe your experience with Island Reproductive Services.
One of their main strengths is clear and frequent communication. I always understood exactly what my next step was. They always answer the phone and get back to you quickly with any questions. Their other strength is their kindness. They always put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. I wish all doctor’s offices were as nice as Dr. Traub’s!

Describe the costs associated with your care under Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services.
I can’t remember the total cost, but I remember Sally and Shannon sat down with me and clearly explained my upcoming costs.
Describe Michael Traub's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Island Reproductive Services.
Since I needed a pretty involved surgery to remove my 28 uterine fibroids, we did not even consider transferring multiple embryos. My uterus would not have been able to carry two babies.

Describe the protocols Michael Traub used in your cycles at Island Reproductive Services and their degree of success.
I had to undergo two egg retrieval cycles due to a poor egg quality in my first retrieval. The second egg retrieval cycle was much more successful because Dr. Traub increased the dosages of some stimulation medications. He said this has brought success in the past, and luckily had been successful for me, as well.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Island Reproductive Services. (Assigned nurse: Sally)

Describe your experience with Island Reproductive Services.
Everything is done right here in this office. There is not much that you need to get done outside of the office. The doctor does all of the procedures himself. The nurses are always available to assist. The office staff seems to have good communication amongst themselves, which makes it a pleasant patient experience.

Very comparable and competitive pricing compared to other fertility clinics. The nurses helped in finding the cheapest medications available.
Describe Michael Traub's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Island Reproductive Services.
Prefer the single embryo transfer as opposed to multiple embryo transfer because it is about keeping everyone safe and healthy. Single embryo transfer is safer for the mom, and also the baby.

We completed three IUI cycles using Clomid, Omnitrope, and Estradiol. Two were unsuccessful and the third gave me my daughter! I also completed an egg retrieval and embryo freezing out of pocket.

The clinic [Island Reproductive Services] is very professional and efficient. Going for early morning monitoring was very easy to do before work. Due to the multiple treatments I became friendly with a lot of the staff. They were all so kind...Sally [nurse] was amazing to talk to. She is so kind and patient. Sometimes I would forget part of her instructions and have to call back shortly after. She was always pleasant. Melissa walked us through the IVF medications.

Describe the protocols Michael Traub used in your cycles at Island Reproductive Services and their degree of success.
Due to insurance reasons we had to do 3 IUIs before IVF. After the first cycle took longer to develop mature eggs, Dr. Traub upped the medication for the second and third cycles. When they didn’t work we jumped right into IVF. I responded very well to the injectables and had a large egg retrieval with 13 PGS tested embryos in the end. Through any test and procedure I knew I was in excellent care with Dr. Traub.

[Dr. Traub] treats each patient individually, is patient and has a calming demeanor. He understood how anxious I was throughout this process and never appeared annoyed by it. After failed IUI attempts, we moved on to IVF. He prepared us that this could be necessary and the process was explained clearly...He is very responsive in emails day or night and always right to the point. I appreciate his attentiveness
The [Island Reproductive Services] monitoring appointments are done at two locations on opposite sides of Staten Island which is convenient...The clinic is organized, clean, and well-run. The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to. Even after what must be long days, the staff is always very kind and patient. They are always accommodating with appointments, and very helpful with insurance and medications.
How was your experience with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
Dr. Traub has treated both my sister and myself. We both have PCOS. My sister is now pregnant with her second child, and I am pregnant with my first. All thanks to Dr. Traub. He treats each patient individually, is patient and has a calming demeanor. He understood how anxious I was throughout this process and never appeared annoyed by it. After failed IUI attempts, we moved on to IVF. He prepared us that this could be necessary and the process was explained clearly. We were heart broken after our first IVF transfer failed, Dr. Traub took the time to meet with us and go over everything and helped us move forward onto our second, and now successful, transfer. He is very responsive in emails day or night and always right to the point. I appreciate his attentiveness. You can tell he really cares about his work and his patients.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
It can be a lengthy and difficult process, be sure to write everything down, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Dr. Traub and his staff are kind and patient, they will answer all of your questions and show you compassion during what is likely one of the most difficult times you will face.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
I felt like a human because I was always spoken to respectfully and compassionately. All questions were always answered. All staff was always very professional and kind.
Describe the protocols Michael Traub used in your cycles at Island Reproductive Services and their degree of success.
We started with IUI. The first attempt was a combination of Letrozole and Clomid, and led to a chemical pregnancy. After that we tried adjusting medications for the next few IUI cycles, and after it didn't work we were told to be prepared IVF would likely be necessary. We had to continue with another IUI cycle because of our insurance, which was of no fault to Dr. Traub and he shared in our frustration with this. We moved on to IVF and had a successful egg retrieval. Our first transfer failed, we were not sure why besides sometimes it just doesn't work. Dr. Traub then performed a saline sonogram to check for any possible missed issues although we all knew it wasn't likely. Then we proceeded on to our second transfer which was successful. I continued to be monitored with blood work and sonogram and now preparing to go to my regular OB (and sad to leave Dr. Traub and his staff although very happy this is the reason why)
Describe your experience with your nurse at Island Reproductive Services. (Assigned nurse: Sally (and sometimes Melissa))
Sally was very patient and caring. She explained everything clearly and was always available to answer questions. She always helped me stay organized and tells her patients to write everything down and repeat it back to her so she can make sure you understand. Fertility treatments are very time consuming and require a lot of medications and organization. It means a lot to have a nurse that takes the time to listen and explain. Melissa was also very informative, she is right to the point and showed compassion when she had to deliver any bad news, which I imagine is not easy. The nurses, and nursing staff such as phlebotomists and sonogram techs were always very kind, after seeing them so much you form relationships and it is honestly sad to move on once you have become pregnant and ready to go on to your regular OB.

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Island Reproductive Services.
The monitoring appointments are done at two locations on opposite sides of Staten Island which is convenient. The monitoring is done early in the morning so that patients can go before work which is very convenient and appreciated. The monitoring hours are always organized and run-well.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services.
My insurance did cover a lot but the copayments and medication copayments do add up. We also paid for the genetic testing which was not covered by insurance. The finance person at the clinic broke down all the costs and when they would be due so we could prepare.

He listened to me and had no problem doing what I wanted first...Dr Traub was extremely professional every step of the way.

Describe the protocols Michael Traub used in your cycles at Island Reproductive Services and their degree of success.
We started with medicated IUIs, our plan was to try only 2-3 times because of my age, he had suggested I start with IVF, but I wanted to try IUI first. He listened to me and had no problem doing what I wanted first. Luckily the second IUI resulted in pregnancy.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Island Reproductive Services.

How was your experience with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
Starting the fertility process at 39 (later in the game) is always scary and concerning. You give up your faith, everything you're taught to believe, and give in to science. I initially started my journey at NYU and somewhere along the way you just start to go through the motions and start to feel like a robot, forced to accept whatever hand is dealt to you. It becomes very impersonal and with each unsuccessful procedure you start to give up. When I was done feeling that way, I found Dr. Traub and everything changed. He changed my course of treatment and my thinking in the process. He was sympathetic, personal, knowledgable, accessible and raised my spirits. After my 1st successful egg retrieval, my embryos tested abnormal and I was devastated. I will never forget sobbing with him over the phone on a Sunday then in his office 2 days later when he told me "If you were my wife, I would tell you to try one more time before we consider alternate treatment." He basically talked me off the ledge and guided me emotionally, told me to take a break, regroup and let's start again. I did. Today, at 42 years old, I'm a mom to a beautiful little boy (almost 2) and 10 weeks pregnant with my 2nd (little girl). I always say I owe it all to him. He restored my faith. I recommend him to anyone who asks and he has treated several friends with much success. The hardest part is always saying goodbye but he is always in my heart and my prayers.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
Let him do his job. We tend to get in our own way with our preconceived notions and create issues when there are none...let him guide you and have faith in the process.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?

After leaving NYU and feeling like just a number, meeting Dr. Traub and his staff was refreshing and reassuring.

I currently work with Dr. Traub. I would highly recommend him. I wish I came to him sooner. This has been a hell of a year but he worked hard to figure out exactly what I needed...[he] even responded to emails way outside of work hours...I have to say during this process that helped relax me and remain calm. I full heartedly thank him for where we are today.
Strengths [oh Island Reproductive Services]: welcoming, professional, care about you. They make sure you understand your medications and how to inject yourself. Willing to video you or have you come in for a training if needed again...When sending out biopsy of one of my eggs for genetic testing it had been misplaced...The doctor did what he can to make it up to us financially…[nursing staff was] Very compassionate, patient, and they take their time with you to understand your medications and how to inject yourself safely
How was your experience with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
I currently work with Dr. Traub. I would highly recommend him. I wish I came to him sooner. This has been a hell of a year but he worked hard to figure out exactly what I needed. Throughout any process for fertility treatment it is very scary… they’ll be moments when you’re home and needing to ask questions for clarity and/or peace of mind.. Dr. Traub is excellent with email. He emails you back almost immediately. I have to say during this process that helped relax me and remain calm. I full heartedly thank him for where we are today.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
Trust him. Be patient. Ask questions and don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services?
Dr. Traub and his nurses made it their priority to get information to me ASAP. They answered calls. Called back as soon as possible. Dr. Traub even responded to emails way outside of work hours. I felt like they didn’t want me to feel stressed. They listened and they answered you in a very sufficient and timely manner. When you’re hormonal you don’t feel like yourself. You need support. They provided that support during the scariest time of my life.
Describe the protocols Michael Traub used in your cycles at Island Reproductive Services and their degree of success.
IVF- we did two cycles as my first egg retrieval only resulted in one healthy egg. After second retrieval I was on meds again and closely monitored for transplant of one frozen embryo. I am on lovenox and baby aspirin as I have a low grade blood clotting disorder. Mostly for precaution.

What specific things went wrong at Island Reproductive Services?
  • Lost or damaged samples
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Island Reproductive Services.
When sending out biopsy of one of my eggs for genetic testing it had been misplaced. Unsure if it was the third party clinic who lost it or if the clinic never sent it out. The clinic had signatures stating they sent it out so it’s possible the mistake was not within their clinic. The doctor did what he can to make it up to us financially… emotionally it was a lot. He expressed his heartfelt apology. Upon my second retrieval we sent out a biopsy of the same egg to be tested. I’m just scared that it will need to be thawed a second time for transfer one day. I just hope it’ll make it and remain healthy.

Dr. Traub was caring and compassionate. He always answered every question I asked. Whenever I emailed him I received a reply within minutes. He took his time and always explained everything thoroughly...We did IUI so I took letrozole during my cycles and then was monitored daily with blood work and Sonograms during the cycle. When [he] knew I was ready he would inform me to take the trigger injection (ovidrel) and then I would come in within 36 hours to have the IUI procedure done
We paid out of pocket for one cycle of IUI and it cost 1,250. This included all monitoring and blood work...Throughout this process you will hear from the [Island Reproductive Services] nurses constantly and the fact that they are so nice really helps...Everyone in this office was helpful.

He was always timely, caring, spent the time with you, always available via email.
We had 13 embryos frozen since our first go-round [at Island Reproductive Services]...I was on crinone gel, progesterone pills, baby aspirin, estradiol, prednisone (all different doses/times).

What specific things went wrong at Island Reproductive Services?
  • Canceled a cycle due to clinic error
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Island Reproductive Services.
The only thing that happened is that I changed insurances over the summer before my transfer. (Old insurance covered partial, new insurance did not cover anything IVF- related) I informed the front desk but the change wasn’t communicated so once I started my meds for my transfer cycle, a few days later i got a call saying I had to stop everything and wait until next cycle because the authorization would take too long. I was upset and confused - called back and informed them that i changed my insurance. They were unaware that now I was self-pay. They apologized profusely for the misunderstanding and told me to continue my meds and my schedule as planned. All worked out fine but It was a momentary freak out for me!

Dr. Traub took the time and effort each time we entered his office. When I sent emails with concerns he answered them within hours to ease my mind and reassure that everything was okay. He was very straight forward with results and plans going forward.... Dr. Traub had us skip straight to IVF due to endometriosis. He was forward with our options. He set us up with the nurses who explained the medication and administration of such medication prior to egg retrieval. Once we retrieved our eggs Dr. Traub explained what he had retrieved once I was able to understand. The office kept constant contact with us over the 6 days that the embryos developed.
Island Reproduction is amazing. They are knowledgeable, compassionate, and have unbelievable success rates for women like myself and many others. As far as weaknesses are concerned i truly cannot thing of a single weakness. The doctors and staff and just amazing. When we “graduated” from Dr Traub back to our OB is was bittersweet. We were sad to move on because the office had pretty much become a family to us; and excited because that meant our little one was growing and progressing well

Happy to report we are currently pregnant and progressing nicely with a healthy pregnancy. Dr. Traub also removed endometriosis via laparoscopic surgery. Once again Dr. Traub explained everything every step of the way and was very compassionate with my husband after the procedure.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Island Reproductive Services.
They were absolutely wonderful. Compassionate and knowledgeable. Whenever I had questions they always answered them confidently and made me feel comfortable with their responses. Any time I called the office with questions they called back before the end of the night each time.
Describe your experience with Island Reproductive Services.
Island Reproduction is amazing. They are knowledgeable, compassionate, and have unbelievable success rates for women like myself and many others. As far as weaknesses are concerned i truly cannot thing of a single weakness. The doctors and staff and just amazing. When we “graduated” from Dr Traub back to our OB is was bittersweet. We were sad to move on because the office had pretty much become a family to us; and excited because that meant our little one was growing and progressing well.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Island Reproductive Services.
They were very easy and simple to make. Each time I went for blood work on the morning I completed a Sono if needed. The best part about doing them back to back was that the hours they did this were before work so I didn’t miss a day of work or have to leave early.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Michael Traub at Island Reproductive Services.
Approximately $6,000 out of pocket. That includes all medications, copays for procedures (including the IVF process), and all blood work and sonogram copays.

My situation was particularly difficult but I am so grateful that I did not give up on Dr. Traub and that he also did not give up on us. We have had success and our dream has come true because of him...Every single procedure or treatment I did was with my doctor and his staff...Ask questions to clarify or challenge anything you don't understand- don't be afraid to advocate for yourself....
The nurses [at Island Reproductive Services] are wonderful. They explain everything to you over the phone. If you have any questions/concerns someone always gets back to you...There is minimal wait time and you feel that you are treated as a person, not just another number. You always see your own set doctor/nurses. Every single procedure or treatment I did was with my doctor and his staff. It would be nice if there was an online portal for your personal information as well as hearing it on the phone...

He was responsive when I emailed him and didn't rush me when i had questions...don't expect warm and fuzzy, but he is kind and cares...Tried letrozole, then clomid. had an hsg and shg to confirm tubes were not blocked and no scarring on the uterus...
most [staff at Island Reproductive Services] were communicative, helpful, patient and friendly. they were genuinely happy for me when i got pregnant and that was very touching. i felt they were cheering me on and were invested in my success...$1250 per IUI cycle, not including meds...made a change every unsuccessful cycle so I didn't feel like he was just going through the motions...
