Dr. Abittan is quick, comprehensive, relatable, and warm when responding to emailed questions. He also makes sure to check in and conduct office exams himself when in a difficult part of the cycle...I was concerned that he was not taking the difficulty of my personal medical situation seriously enough -- he seemed a little flippant. However, I found him to be a dedicated and caring clinician. I think he just has a .more upbeat attitude
The clinic [at Extend Fertility] is a friendly, easygoing environment. They are very forgiving if you run late, though this also means you may end up waiting for a while..avoid monitoring visits on Sundays -- if necessary, go as early as possible in the day. The clinic also allows children in the office, so be prepared to see babies on occasion, especially on Sundays...The nursing staff is friendly, compassionate, and expert
How was your experience with Baruch Abittan at Extend Fertility?
I found Dr. Abittan very personable, comforting, and competent during a difficult time. At our first meeting (consultation), I was concerned that he was not taking the difficulty of my personal medical situation seriously enough -- he seemed a little flippant. However, I found him to be a dedicated and caring clinician. I think he just has a more upbeat attitude. Other doctors may be more cautionary when discussing expectations. He has kindly and clearly answered all of my panicked questions. When I ask technical questions, he provides a solid, clear, evidence-based answer. I transferred to Extend Fertility from another clinic and did have to push a little for Extend to speak with my prior provider (beyond reading my medical chart) -- but I think this was a logistics issue. Once they connected, the providers were able to share helpful information with each other.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Baruch Abittan at Extend Fertility?
Dr. Abittan is a very upbeat person. Depending on your personality and given the uncertainties inherent to all fertility procedures, it may be helpful to remind yourself periodically of the possibility of negative outcomes, just to help maintain realistic expectations. Dr. Abittan will not lie or exaggerate, but he seems more likely to emphasize the positives -- actually usually very helpful during these stressful procedures.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Baruch Abittan at Extend Fertility?
Dr. Abittan is quick, comprehensive, relatable, and warm when responding to emailed questions. He also makes sure to check in and conduct office exams himself when in a difficult part of the cycle. (Otherwise, sonographers and other physicians may conduct monitoring exams.) He is very upbeat and optimistic -- at first, I thought this might be flippant, but it is just good, kind nature.

Describe your experience with Extend Fertility.
The clinic is a friendly, easygoing environment. They are very forgiving if you run late, though this also means you may end up waiting for a while in the waiting room for a monitoring visit or procedure. It can be anxiety-provoking to wait for a procedure (e.g. retrieval surgery), but the office is managing the time and your procedure will not fail because of a longer wait than expected. If possible, avoid monitoring visits on Sundays -- if necessary, go as early as possible in the day. The clinic also allows children in the office, so be prepared to see babies on occasion, especially on Sundays. This may be a little emotionally difficult if you are having a difficult time with your treatment.
