Main Line Fertility (Prelude Network clinic)

From my first Consult w/Dr Glassner, he showed empathy and huge amounts of support for my situation as his wife went through a similar journey. He was real - never wanting to put me or my husband through something if we weren't creating embryos. He was funny - always had a joke to make me smile or relax. The unwavering support he provided was a huge help in my journey.

Although Dr. Glassner is very busy, I usually felt like a person while in treatment at MLF. At times, he can run late to appointments or seemed rushed, but my experience with the support staff and nurses was exceptional. Dr. Glassner is very knowledgable and I felt confident in his recommendations.

After 2 miscarriages, we went to see Dr. Glassner for help. We were able to conceive after 6 cycles, but we found out that the pregnancy was not normal, though we weren't sure why initially. Dr. Glassner and his team helped us through the few first days after finding out our pregnancy was not going to continue. He was able to determine the cause and spent hours working with us to determine a treatment and the next steps. After going through 2 miscarriages alone, with only minimal input from our regular OB/Gyn, Dr Glassner's help and assistance lessened the heartache, sadness and confusion and has us optimistic for the next steps. We told ourselves we would not continue pursuing having a child, but his support is helping us to keep trying to achieve our dream of becoming parents.

He knows what he is talking about with me when we have a meeting set. But I am not sure he would have any idea about my case or me if we didn't have a meeting set

It’s a factory in both the Havertown and Brynmawr office. They want to pack in as many patients as they can and sell as made add on services as they can that have no research to back them up like the ERA.

Dr. Bloom really took the time to get to know me and my husband from our very first appointment. She talked to us about our family size goals and made her recommendations based on what we told her, which is not something our first RE did. Dr. Bloom always took the time to answer my questions and provide thorough explanations. She is extremely empathetic and optimistic, and I always felt that she was personally invested in our success.

Dr Glassner and his staff are very compassionate and understanding. I never felt like I was being judge for my choices and procedures and processes were clearly explained.

Dr. Gocial was always kind and up front but hopeful. He always gave me the time I needed to answer questions and explore options. He even called me back after hours on his way home several times. From the first consult I knew he was the doc for us. I’m fairly anxious and he really decreased my fears and worries. I had been through 2 retrievals and 6 transfers with no success before working with him so I came in fairly fragile but he always treated me with kindness and care.

From the initial surgery consult to the pre-surgery discussion, Dr Gocial was informative, warm, engaging, compassionate, intelligent. He knew me, knew my situation, knew my goals. Dr Gocial is an amazing doctor and human being

Somewhere in between a number or a human. We sought multiple opinions before we landed at Mainline for IVF. Having undergone 6 medicated and IUI cycles - we decided to stay with Dr Glassner after discussing the protocol with him. We felt comfortable. However things changed substantially after our failed 2nd cycle. It seemed we were not enough to provide the results that clinic would like and seemed pushed to go donor egg route. Made us uncomfortable.

They are very good. They care about there patients and actually want to help you with your journey and help you with your goal become a mother. He has a lot of compassion. Talk to my doctor is a pleasure he talks to you like a friend not like a doctor and actually understand what you are going thru. The most I like about my doctor he is real honest about your diagnostic become a mother. He actually tries to help you. I recommend him. Thank you God Bless You !!!!

At first, the office was everything I thought it should be. I walked into my first consult with Dr. Glassner in 2017 pregnant. I went back in early 2019 when I had 3 periods in 6 weeks. When he was very discouraging of the IUI, saying even as he left the room after one that if "you were 25, I would tell you have a 20% chance- I just want to manage your expectations." After it was known that I planned to continue with IUI instead of IVF, it was the last time I saw the doctor and my care was seriously mis-managed; it felt like they didn't care.

The offices at MLF have a tendency to be busy with alot of patients. But once you get into the room with Dr. Glassner, he makes you feel like you are the only patient and he does not rush you. He takes the time to answer all questions, give you his honest opinion and when needed a hug or encouraging words. After my fifth miscarriage, first under his care, he was kind enough to let me slip out the back door so I did not need to see anyone else. He is a super caring doctor.

Dr. Glassner and his staff where compassionate and helpful. The first thing they did was offer empathy for my situation and ask how I was dealing with everything.

Dr. Glassner is so kind and spends time with you answering every question that you may have.

I felt like a human because he has such care and concern and treats you like your the only one in the work at the moment he’s helping you that it feels like he’s full force there for you the whole way on your journey

I saw Dr. Orris 3 times. The first two felt fine, but the last one was really uncomfortable. I had assumed we were stopping because the previous cycles had not been successful, and I was exhausted and ready to go elsewhere and try a new approach. But he seemed irritated with me, somewhat dismissive, and just told me what to do, even though the logistics of it presented a huge challenge given that I was also in the processing of moving across country, changing jobs and had no local clinic set up.

Dr. Glassner is genuinely a caring person with a good sense of humor. On our first visit, he said that when we are in his office, he will talk to us about our case as though we are his own children. We have always felt that intimate care, compassion, and consideration for our case.

Dr. Glassner is the most caring, thoughtful man, and doctor I've ever come across. I started going to him towards the end of 2017 to have a Fertility work up as a single woman. From the beginning I knew he was the right doctor for me. He ran every test under the sun and then some. After talking he advised that there really shouldn't be any issue of me getting pregnant. Donor sperm was perfect. He advised just because my periods were slightly irregular that I should start Metformin. It helps with balancing levels that women with PCOS usually have. It helped me lose 30 pounds. I started taking Metformin for about 6 months and was ready to finally start my IUI's. Dr. Glassner prescribed me Letrozole, for my first cycle. He knew I was excited and he set expectations for me saying IUI's usually don't work on the first try. He was right it failed. Went in for 4 more IUI's each time changing meds. One cycle was just Clomid. Another cycle was a combination of both maxed doses of Letrozole and Clomid. I conceived but miscarried at 17DPO. In 2019 we continued but this time skipped the oral meds and went to injectable meds. Failed in January, conceived in February but miscarried again. After this miscarriage and talking to him he knew I only had one vial of sperm left and we decided to head to IVF. I had my egg retrieval on Monday July 22nd 2019. 13 eggs retrieved, 6 fertilized, 4 made it to blastocyst stage and I am awaiting PGS testing. I cannot speak enough of Dr. Glassner. I know he has my best interest in mind and wants to keep me healthy during this entire time. I will forever be grateful to this man. Even though I am still awaiting my baby, I am hoping to have transfer this month August 2019, I know Michael will be able to make my dreams of becoming a mom a reality soon. Dr. Glassner if you are reading thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will forever be grateful for you!

Dr. Glassner is wonderful! He spent a lot of time with us twice in consultation. We never felt rushed. He was gentle, kind, funny, and understood my spiritual bent and offered his own stories with his kids. His staff are also WONDERFUL! They have all spent a lot of time with us in person and on the phone, letting me cry, talking through options, and answering our million questions! Plus, they have a large egg bank and embryos, which is unique. We had been to another doctor that had the opposite bedside manner and are so happy we found Dr. Glassner! We love this office!

All the staff at his office , including himself have always made me feel comfortable and cares about . They are there for me during each up and down.

Although my husband and I primarily saw the nurses, Dr. Orris was always a phone call away if needed - even on his personal line. After my first failed embryo transfer, Dr. Orris was right on the phone not only explaining the next steps but checking in and providing support.

He was quite straight forward with everything. If I didn’t understand something he would explain it. He gave me the facts and said he will get me pregnant. I believed in his abilities.

Main Line Fertility is a busy clinic, so sometimes personal attention each visit was difficult, but anytime I needed questions answered or explanations, I was absolutely given the attention I needed.

Took time to try to explain treatments
