Review of
Dr. Rybak took the time to get to know my husband and I. He called each time we got bad news so we could hash out a plan. He also took the time to explain what changes may be made and answer all of our questions. When he was my doctor during morning monitoring he always knew all the details of my case and greeted me warmly...
RMA is a well oiled machine. I appreciated the expertise and relative efficiency of the clinic. However if you want to go to a clinic where you're only seeing your doctor this isn't the place for you. At RMA, you have a local office that you go to for early morning monitoring. There are typically 1-2 doctors doing monitoring in the morning and 1-2 phlebotomists taking your blood. Everyone was very nice but also understandably busy. For procedures you go to their central facility in Basking Ridge and you may or may not have your doctor doing the procedure.
How was your experience with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Our experience with Dr. Rybak was great. He always was willing to answer questions, address anything I had read, and provide his candid thoughts. I especially liked that while he always had a recommendation, he also always gave us his rationale behind the recommendation. The tweaks he made to my injection protocol between egg retrievals worked fantastically. We got nearly 5x as many genetically normal embryos during the second retrieval than the first. When we suffered a miscarriage he was willing to do additional testing that I had read about and was very accommodating, understanding, and reassuring.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Don't be afraid to ask questions because Dr. Rybak is more than willing to answer!

Describe the protocols Eli Rybak used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
We did two egg retrievals and three transfers. The first egg retrieval used menopur & follistim to stimulate the follicles and then used ganirelix to delay ovulation. The cycle was successful and resulted in 4 genetically normal 5 day embryos. The first transfer was an FET using estrogen suppositories and progesterone injections. It resulted in a miscarriage at 7 weeks. For our second egg retrieval, we adjusted the protocol but lowering the dosage of stimulants but using them for slightly longer. This resulted in around 20 genetically normal 5 day embryos! - we were thrilled. We then did two more FETs that were unsuccessful with the same protocol as before. We had discussed tweaking the FET protocol during our next cycle (using stim injections), however I ended up getting pregnant spontaneously prior to restarting treatment. Dr. Rybak continued to monitor the spontaneous pregnancy until we graduated to the OBGYN.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Sarah Robinson)
Sarah was a joy to work with. I felt she was very invested in our treatment and getting it to work. She always called with good news or bad news so that we didn't find out via email. She was also extremely responsive and would answer any of my questions. I happen to love statistics and she even proactively sent me some new studies she had learned about through her training . She said when they were presented to the nursing staff she was thinking of me. I really appreciated it.

We are very lucky to have Progyny fertility insurance so everything was covered with the exception of embryo storage.

How was your experience with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
From the moment we met Dr. Rybak we were impressed with his competency and expertise in his field, as well as with his calm, kind, and respectful demeanor. His way of explaining every single step with user-friendly examples was very helpful for us to get a clear picture of exactly what to expect at every part of our journey. As Orthodox Jews, we also truly appreciated Dr. Rybak's ability to connect with us on a deeper level. A "five star rating" is truly not even enough to accurately describe our experience!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Ask as many questions as you'd like and as often as you need to, because they will always be answered in a patient and calm and respectful way. As well, do not worry because you can truly trust Dr. Rybak.

Review of
He’s calm and positive and very respectful of the patient. He [Dr. Rybak] genuinely cares about your situation and takes the time to talk you through each step. When things don’t turn out as expected he calls to console the patient and help plan for the future cycles and discusses how he will adjust for next round. He doesn’t have an ego which many doctors do have he listens to the patients requests and makes sure you feel 100% comfortable with each step of the process.
They are extremely organized nice and efficient. The staff [RMANJ] is so friendly and they remember each patient. The only downside is during morning monitoring the people by the front desk who are not nurses can get a little loud when they’re talking about their daily things like what they did the night before etc. Patients there that early in the morning want it to be quiet. It’s a sensitive situation so loud laughing and talking isn’t appropriate.

Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Julie Cochran )
My nurse was excellent with coordinating my fertility schedule with my life schedule. She allowed me to ask anything and everything and always responded quickly.

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Monitoring hours are early morning and it’s first come first serve. The wait can be long at times but generally it’s before a holiday weekend or a Friday. Only once I had a pa do my ultrasound and she didn’t know what she was doing and I cried on the table in pain (during stims for retrieval) the doctor had to redo the test. From then on I made a point to tell them only a doctor can go near me. The staff was understanding and never sent that pa in again.

Review of
Dr. Rybak is a very kind and knowledgeable person. He seemed to really care and exuded positive energy. He makes the patient feel comfortable and hopeful that their experience will be a success. He asks a lot of questions and is thorough in his answers. He presents as very invested in his patients and is extremely compassionate.... I came from other fertility doctors so he reviewed by file and determined IVF was the best choice for me. He did a saline ultrasound and determined my uterus posed a problem for future pregnancy so he made sure I had that taken care of before starting treatment.
The clinic [RMA of NJ] is well organized and the front desk staff are warm and friendly. They are a well oiled machine. They always return phone calls promptly. Christina is in the finance department and she was very helpful and thorough.... Unfortunately they do not offer any discount or deal for people like myself who have no infertility coverage. They connect you with a pharmacy that offers a discount but the price of meds is still great. I am just starting IVF

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Dr. Rybak always made it a point to make sure I was comfortable. Even during morning monitoring he never rushed me and was empathetic to the circumstances and answered all questions. He has even called me in between treatments (even on the weekend) to make sure that I was "OK" and that we were progressing as expected.
Describe the protocols Eli Rybak used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
I started with Dr. Rybak back in 2013. Treatments varied from then to now as then we did co-ivf. I was on Lupron 2 week kit, Estrace 2 mg, Medrol, Antibiotic, and progesterone in oil for transfer. My wife was on other medications for retrieval. At the end of 2017 to the beginning of this year, we did 3 IUI cycles. I was on Gonal-F (dosage ranged from 75-100 units). Recently, for retrieval I was on Gonal-F (375-450 units), Ganirelix (250 mcg), low dose HCG (50 units), and Lupron for trigger. I had always responded well to treatments so the protocol was the same for all IUIs and for retrieval I responded well too.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Lisa Pomponio)
Lisa knew that fully understanding results and treatments were important to me. She always returned my calls same day and addressed all questions and concerns before 5 PM every time I called. If she was not going to be in the office during when I would normally get results or updates from her, she would email or call to let me know and who would be covering for her. I never felt like a bother to Lisa and she was always extremely patient with me!

This clinic's strengths include: excellent staff (from the receptionist, lab techs, nurses, doctors and administrative staff). The monitoring hours are excellent because it allows us to go in for monitoring before work so that we don't have to request time off. The team at RMANJ take pride in their work and it shows.

Monitoring was super convenient! Super organized and for the most part you were seen fairly quickly.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Medications were almost fully covered for all cycles during co-IVF, IUIs, retrieval and upcoming transfer. I paid my copays for medications with the exception of Low dose HCG that was not covered and Endometrium. In total, I have paid around $1000.00 in copays. For our first retrieval and first two FET, we paid out of pocket as we were not covered under the NJ state mandate. We paid approximately $22,000. This year, the IUIs were covered under my insurance and we were only responsible for copays and coinsurance. Since we have now reached our lifetime fertility max, we paid $4.475 for the upcoming transfer cycle and about $3,800 for the retrieval. We are waiting for the claims to be processed by the insurance company to determine if we are still responsible for more. In addition to the costs of treatment, we have paid storage fees as well as donor sperm (totaling over $6,000).

When I was with him [Dr. Rybak] in the office or on the phone it felt like he genuinely cared about my well being...He was good one on one and made me feel like I was in good hands whenever I saw him. The clinic makes it hard to get in touch with him on the phone which was very frustrating but once he was made aware of the situation he took care of me...I used a few different injections to stimulate my ovaries as much as possible. Went in for morning monitoring very often
1 cycle for a frozen embryo retreival cost around 5200 including genetic testing [at RMA]...It is a very big company and patients tend to get lost. I felt more like a number than a human...I was having complications from what I thought was fibroids and RMA was supposed to remove them for me. I had surgery scheduled with them but in the meantime was hemoragging and they did not help me address that. I asked for help multiple times in managing it and in the end had to go to my OBGYN for help and they ended up performing emergency surgery which ended up resulting in a uterine cancer diagnosis.

Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Rhonda)
My nurse was rude and had no compassion for me. I was having complications and they just referred me to an ER and scheduled me for morning monitoring which was completely inappropriate. They firld the doctors calls and make it hard to get in touch with them. At one point she asked me if I was exaagerating my symptoms. I had to see my OBGYN to address the problem because my nurse would not help me although it was her responsibility.

we travelled far from Brooklyn to RMA because of its lab success rate. Being a carrier for genetic Disease we wanted the best lab...RMA was clean, professional. Never a long wait. Accommodating. Easy to deal with payment and bills. Warm staff. Extremely clean and sensitive to our needs...I spoke with my nurse Rhonda more than I spoke with my mom in a given week.

She was always making my religious concerns a priority.
How was your experience with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
I am a genetic carrier for fragile x syndrome. My ovarian reserve is extremely low. Going through three cycles in less than a year and a half was extremely emotionally and financially taxing. Dr rybak took away all the fears that comes along with IVF and PGD. He explained procedures well, during retrievals and transfers he was always calm warm and smiling. He made us feel comfortable by speaking to us not at us. A big plus was that he is also an Orthodox Jew and addressed all the complicated questions that come about with IVF. Wether a procedure fell out over the sabbath or holiday or how to get the proper supervision. He always was able to direct us properly. Something he did that really touched us before he transferred to of my frozen eggs he paused and said a meaningful prayer it meant the world to us. I see how he deals with patients of all religions and races and he treats us all the same. His compassion and love for helping bringing new souls into this world means everything to him
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?

He listened and thank god they retrieved one 3 eggs . Only one fertilized and made it through PGD and she is joe pregnant

Even though I saw her just once but spoke hundreds of times over the phone. I made a true friend.

Dr Rybak, Did not make me feel like a loss cause. I feel going through ivf can make people feel like an outcast or a nebach. Dr. Rybak felt our pain but also encouraged us that we are doing the right thing. He wants to make sure all my procedures and test are up to date and checking in with my nurse I can’t say many other doctors feel this way about their patients... Dr. Ryback always explained the procedure and wanted to know how I was doing and feeling. He always had a smile on his face and never felt rushed
The front desk staff [RMA of NJ] is super friendly, sensitive and have a great sense of humor. They are kind and patient. I love that the waiting room does not feel like a clinic but a comfy place to wait. The fictional advisor I am assigned to will explain information to me at least a 100 times and does so with all the tome in the world I know she is busy but never makes me feel rushed and only wants to help... I did have to pay for my blood work that was sent to the foundation

My doctor felt that I am young (under 35) and have no fertility issues he felt safe allowing for one egg at a time. I believe at this point we are doing the eighth strategy

He [Dr. Rybak] is the most warm, compassionate and caring doctor I have ever met. He remembers every detail from visit to visit, and although I didn’t see him each visit I felt totally comfortable and trusted him 100% in directing and overseeing my care. I don’t have anything negative to say about the doctor himself... During monitoring I felt like a number because there were so many women, and the doctor doesn’t spend much time with the patient.
It gets very busy at monitoring hours. I would wait sometimes an hour to be seen. They [RMA of NJ] are very efficient, organized, and communicate well. They have a large staff with their roles clearly defined. You are assigned a doctor, nurse and financial coordinator. You know exactly who to contact. The on call doctor are also great and respond very quickly.... They have around 10 different sattelite offices so you can go the most convenient location.

He is very thorough explaining everything, but it is still good to come up with your own questions ahead of time.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
During monitoring I felt like a number because there were so many women, and the doctor doesn’t spend much time with the patient. The doctor himself was amazing though so I feel neutral about the time spent. The nursing staff was incredible and always reachable
Describe the protocols Eli Rybak used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
I did 3 cycles with injectables and timed intercourse which failed. One round of IuI which failed. The IVF cycle was successful- for egg retrieval I did birth control, menopur Gonal-F, ovidrel For embryo transfer did estrace and progesterone. Metrogel the night before.

You could go early in the morning from 545-730 am. They have around 10 different sattelite offices so you can go the most convenient location. You would sign in your name at the front desk and it’s first come first serve. Sometimes there was a line out the door at 530am. You could wait over an hour to be seen.
Describe Eli Rybak's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
He recommended a single embryo transfer given my health and age. He told me it was my decision but advised against multiple. He said that would be very risky for me. He said if the single didn’t work, we could reevaluate.

Review of
He explained treatment plans. When our results continued to lead to poor numbers he didn’t change the protocol which I wish he would have. He kept being optimistic that the treatment plan was a good one and that it just might result in success at some point. After 4 cycles of the same we decided to go for another opinion.... We used menopur, gonal f and cetrotide. We never went over 225 of menopur or 300 Gonal f. We used growth hormone once.
[RMA of NJ is a] Big, clean professional outfit. You could have any of the doctors do your monitoring, retrieval or transfer so don’t get too attached to anyone. The monitoring appointments were hit or miss. You could wait a very long time at times. Sometimes stand on a long line and stand ina crowded waiting room. They are strict about payment. They will not give you any instruction until your account shows it’s been paid. No exceptions.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Discuss other options for changing medication dosages, triggering earlier, transferring 3 day fresh embryos or not PGD testing. It seems he has a set protocol per patient and doesn’t seem to veer from it.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Dr. Rybak was always compassionate. He took the time to explain things. He made a point to reach out to me by phone. During monitoring and communicating with the nurses it felt less personal.

Review of
Dr Eli Ryback is was very informative in detail, and was patient with explaining certain details to me. He welcomed questions and concerns. He sympathized when things didn't go as planned, he was joyous when there was good news. Dr Ryback was very positive and optimistic.... At first I was told what my treatment would be without enough explanation. Once I pushed and showed that I wanted to be directly involved with my plan of care, Dr Ryback took the time to sit down with me and explain all of the pros, cons, and statistics regarding my treatment.
I was assigned a "personal nurse" [at RMA-Englewood] but this was really not the case. She was my primary nurse, however, my nurse was really whoever was on call for that day. She was very clear with instructions for injections and such, but there were times when I felt that she "dropped the ball" on me when she would catch me by surprise with the plan of care - and I had not realized it would be so. It was hard to process that things weren't exactly clear. But she did remedy these "surprises" well and would explain the reasoning to me. There were times though that I felt she was rushed and I had considered asking for a different nurse, but I didn't know if that would really change anything.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
If you have questions, make sure that you ask them and that you are satisfied with your answers. A lot of the back and forth conversation is on the phone (usually with a nurse.) You have the right to ask to meet with your doctor in person. As there are many important things to discuss in your treatment.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
I felt like I was treated more as a human than a number. I was treated with compassion. At first I was told what my treatment would be without enough explanation. Once I pushed and showed that I wanted to be directly involved with my plan of care, Dr Ryback took the time to sit down with me and explain all of the pros, cons, and statistics regarding my treatment. I felt a lot more confident about my plan of care after that. Dr Eli Ryback is very compassionate and acknowledged that I was, in fact, human.
Describe the protocols Eli Rybak used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
I don't remember specific dosages.. one thing that I remember was discussing whether or not I would have to use progesterone injections 2 weeks prior to transfer, up until 8 weeks of pregnancy. I would have liked not to use injections since they were painful. We were discussing the use of progesterone suppositories, but in the end, Dr Ryback wanted me to use the injections since we had not determined my ovulation cycle or if I was ovulating at all. He felt that the progesterone injections would be my best bet after transfer.

Describe your experience with RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
The clinic was clean and comfortable. In terms of Morning Monitoring, a staff member gave me a helpful tip to arrive 10 min before opening in order to beat the morning rush. I would arrive at 5:45am and wait for the doors to open at 6 so that I would be one of the first 5 patients of the day. I was in and out between blood work and ultrasounds in under 30 min (sometimes even 20 min.) If you show up at 7:30, you can expect to wait around for a while due to the volume of patients coming in at that time. The Englewood location was only for my initial consultation, morning monitoring, and meetings that I requested with my Doctor. All other procedures were done at Basking Ridge, NJ, as well as Saturday and Sunday monitoring.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
There was comfortable seating, it was a first come first served basis. So the earlier you arrived, the sooner you'd be seen. A nurse would come into the waiting room and call your first name. This did not bother me. It was run efficiently, which is what you want at 6 in the morning.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
About 95-99% of my bills were covered through insurance, (roughly $15,000+ for the injections, monitoring, and egg retreival.) I don't remember how much the transfer was (maybe $5,000-$10,000 but I honestly don't remember.) There is a $1200/year embryo storage fee which was also not covered by insurance. My insurance did not cover the PGD testing. I paid out of pocket for testing the chromosomes of the embryos, which costed $4500 for up to 12 embryos. (I had 5 embryos, still the same $4500)
Describe Eli Rybak's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Dr Ryback strongly believes in eSET. His motto is "One healthy mother; One healthy baby." He explained that multiple embryo transfer does not guarantee multiple live births. Additionally, multiple embryo's can cause more complications and risks later on. Even twins pose more risks to each other and to the mother. He felt that the healthiest option was a single embryo transferred and I completely agreed with him.

Dr. Rybak [of RMA of New Jersey] made a difficult process bearable. My diagnosis was DOR and I didn't respond well to the meds. But he held out hope and kept adjusting my meds in the hopes of getting better response. He always made time for me and arranged for conference calls to discuss failed cycles and his thoughts moving forward. His bedside manner was gentle and very caring.
[RMA of New Jersey] is a big clinic and clearly knows what they are doing. However, you do feel like a number during the routine monitoring. Some of the doctors get to know you and are kind others just examine you and move onto next patient....You will not always see Dr. Rybak during the monitoring he is reviewing your numbers and keeping an eye on you! Even after I went with another doctor in the clinic just due to logistics he continued to keep an eye on my progress.

Dr. Ryback spent time meeting with my husband and I when we we first started this journey. He was prepared for our meeting and discussed our options. Throughout my treatment he would have conference calls with us to review failed cycles and talk about next steps. I truly felt that he cared about me and my dreams to have a family. I even introduced him to my son that he helped create and he picked him and hugged him and was truly so happy for me.

I have a low amh and my husband has genetic defect so it’s not so easy...[Dr. Eli Rybak] takes the time out to speak to me and I can ask all the my thousands of questions...won’t give you false hope but gives you hope at the same time...when it wasn’t successful (no embryos) he called me and told me and discussed how we will be moving when I felt ready to try again...
They [RMA of New Jersey] are great cause they have comprehensive labs and all in one in the same building. multiple doctors are looking over your case so they can all decide what is the best course of action. but you feel a little like a number cause so many people are there...[nurse] was caring and kind and always answered all my questions... retrieval round plus meds costed around 20k and it wasn’t successful.

Dr. Rybak explains everything on a good way, always has a strong point to prove his knowledge! He always has an answer for everything, would not leave the patient alone instead he would help the patient to make a decision. He shared his frustration when I could not develop any blastocyst, but he was enthusiastic to change the protocol and try to avoid this problem. He always gives me so much hope regarding my age.
Very organized! Clean! I have a big hope on the embryology result next time! I heard about lab [RMANJ] having more that national average success rate! Was not the case on my first round, but not have a high expectation with the new protocol in the next time... Dr. Rybak reviews all details on my medical record. I was monitoring my cycle from Cleveland Ohio, he was personally calling me on the phone when it is necessary!

Review of
What impressed me the most about Dr. Rybak was his humility. Back in 2012 when I first saw him, an interesting medical situation presented itself. Dr. Rybak said he'd review the situation with his colleagues to determine a best course of action. I was so impressed by the fact that he readily admitted that he needed to consult with others and didn't need to put up a bravado that he was all knowing. He got me to a successful pregnancy, even with my complicated medical background. He did this with kindness and compassion and always with a smile. He's always willing to entertain my crazy questions and ideas and I trust that he will only recommend and proceed with what will work best for me. I highly recommend Dr. Rybak!
The staff at RMA of New Jersey is very pleasant to deal with. Early morning monitoring can get pretty busy on certain days, so best to come as early as possible to avoid long lines. The finance department was very accommodating. When I asked if I go monitor at an outside location that was more convenient for more, they agreed to work an arrangement with the other facility.... Brianna is a wonderful nurse and advocate. She always provides with clear instructions

Review of
Dr. Ryback is very compassionate and has made me feel very comfortable. I struggle with anxiety associated with procedures and he has helped me by providing medication and being supportive during procedures.... I am still a pretty new patient at the practice so far I have had an extensive bloodwork completed, an endometrial biopsy and a retrieval. So far my retrieval resulted in 18 eggs of which only 11 were fertilized. This has been my lowest number so far so I am a bit concerned about that.
The clinic [RMANJ] is very big which makes you feel at times like you are just a small piece in the production line, however, they are very knowledgeable and confident in their methods and research. They also do their own genetic testing and seem to be very confident in this area.... Mondays and Friday seem to be the busiest and the wait time could be long. It seems to run efficiently and smoothly.... Julie has been organized and has communicated effectively

Dr Rybak is such a thorough and kind doctor. I went with him based on recommendations from several friends, we are glad we did. He communicates with my husband and I and takes time to speak with us over the phone, together and separately. He has helped my husband work through his concerns and adjusted our treatment as needed. His professionalism is very high, my husband is in pharmaceutical research so he can also communicate with my husband on that level as well.
RMA is a big clinic, so it’s easy to get a little lost. Always ask questions and get to know everyone who you see, for monitoring or procedures. Knowing who everyone is helped me navigate better and be a better advocate for myself. And don’t feel bad ‘pestering’ them for answers, that’s their job.... So far I’ve had one cycle and there hasn’t been much to adjust. We did have one setback with a cyst starting this transfer cycle but it was quickly taken care of.

Dr. Rybak is excellent at answering all questions and explaining things in a clear and understanding way. He also shows true concern for each of his patients. He is absolutely brilliant and not afraid to try new things if something isn't working. He makes you leave his office feeling so cared about and calm.... Dr. Ryback is very special!! After my first devastating and unexpected failed cycle, he called me just to check in to see how I'm holding up. Although most doctors would hopefully do this, Dr. Rybak called me on a Friday afternoon from home 1/2 before the Sabbath was about to begin. He genuinely cares about each one of his patients!
They [RMA NJ] are very organized and experienced in their financial department and medical department. They are on top of all necessary forms and are always making sure their patients are up to date on what they need to sign.... You have to go very early if you don't want to be waiting for a really long time. There are generally a lot of people who go for monitoring hours at the Englewood office....

Dr. Rybak printed our charts, read through them at length, and had spent over and hour making notes BEFORE we arrived. I didn't even have to say, "How would you address our case differently" because that was one of the first things to come out of his mouth.
[Our nurse at RMA New Jersey] helped us through some extremely hard times. She cried with us when we lost our son and celebrated with us when our daughter was born. She wasn't just our nurse, she was like a mother to us...Monitoring hours start at 5:45 -- which is very convenient -- but you need to be the first to arrive or wait until after 7 a.m.
How was your experience with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
He was amazing! Intelligent, compassionate, and caring. He is always looking for new solutions and techniques to help his patients reach the ultimate goal. He will go above and beyond for every one of his patients, including calling us to wish us "Mazel Tov" once our baby girl arrived!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Do your research and know the field, and ask tons of questions. He will always happily answer and take the time to insure you understand exactly what is going on.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
I loved my care team. They were amazing. One thing that really resonated with me was the first time we went to meet with Dr. Rybak, the clinics computer system was down, and Dr. Rybak printed our charts, read through them at lenght, and had spent over and hour making notes BEFORE we arrived. I didn't even have to say, "How would you address our case differently" because that was one of the first things to come out of his mouth.

Very warm personality and truly seemed to care. I felt like a real person under his care even though the waiting room was always full.
The [RMA of New Jersey] office is pristine and the girls at the front g desk were very friendly and warm. They were organized and helpful of helping was ever needed. I never experienced any problems and only have positive things to say about clinic...Very busy waiting room, some days you were in and out, others I’ve waited about an hour.

I did IVF treatment with a egg donor (Spouse). I also did 5 IUI Cycles [with Dr. Rybak]. which failed....was very understanding and sweet and nice and understood what I wanted and never forced me to do anything I did not want to do...honest and professional. He understood my needs and yes I felt he delivered that but I cant say the same regarding the clinic he works for, the communication is the strongest suit.
I would say my first and second nurse (Megan and Brianna) was very sweet and nice and helpful but I cant say the same for my last nurse Jessica [at RMA of New Jersey] and the on call nurses. They were not helpful at all. One of the reasons I did want to go there anymore...The clinic needs more communications and organization skills. I love the hours of the clinic and the staff was very nice but again certain nurses wasn't all that great. They clinic was very clean. The on call nurses and doctor need improvement.

Describe your experience with RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
The clinic needs more communications and organization skills. I love the hours of the clinic and the staff was very nice but again certain nurses wasn't all that great. They clinic was very clean. The on call nurses and doctor need improvement.

We are going with embryo donation through RMA our cycle starts this month...Don't let the title of Rabbi deter you from being open and honest with him [Eli Rybak]. He is just a wonderful warm person who loves helping his patients...He took the time to know us, he is a Rabbi my husband is a pastor and I am a devout Catholic. He makes religion part of our discussion because he knows it is important to us.
I'm paying approximately $14000 for the embryo adoption...My first nurse [at RMA of New Jersey] Melissa Silva was with me through the iui. She was so kind and compassionate and attentive. I'm now working with Ann Marie Luft and the third party team and she has also been a great nurse through this process

The only weakness I can see with this clinic is that there aren't many seats in the morning at the Englewood office for morning monitoring. And Even that is being addressed with a Reno right now. I love RMA Nj

I had the best experience with Dr Rybak and RMA [New Jersey]. My calls were always returned in a timely matter. Dr Rybak called me himself if there was ever a change in procedure or to deliver important news and was able to diagnose me within 10 minutes only meeting me... He was always warm and compassionate and made sure he was available to answer all questions

Dr. Rybak is the nicest RE doctor we have seen, he tries to do all morning checkup but if he can't be there he looks at the results and he even corrects the doctor on call instructions if needed...we got 1 normal embryo out of 8 he said it is not the best but one will work...He is very [thorough and looks at all history while he does his own test...
The check-in front desk, drawing blood team and staff[of RMA of New Jersey] were always very kind, smiley and sent me good vibes...The cost is a bit higher than other clinics we saw as the self pay includes limited cycle visits and not all of them...Dr. Rybak is the nicest RE doctor we have seen, he tries to do all morning checkup but if he can't be there he looks at the results and he even corrects the doctor on call instructions
How was your experience with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Dr. Rybak is the nicest RE doctor we have seen, he tries to do all morning checkup but if he can't be there he looks at the results and he even corrects the doctor on call instructions if needed. We really liked his attention and felt he really cares for us to be successful all along the cycle and transfer.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
He is very thrall and looks at all history while he does his own test so I would recommend to let go and just count on him
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eli Rybak at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
The doctor is human, honest, nice manner and was hopeful from our first consult that he will be our final and right doctor in this long fertility journy. When we got 1 normal embryo out of 8 he said it is not the best but one will work. when we got pregnant you saw on his face and body he was so happy. unfortunately at week 24, we had a stillbirth due to cord accident, once he was informed he called us.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Dessi)
As we wished the cycle to start as quickly as possible from when we had the consult, I think the nurse was a bit pressured but did her job and helped us through it all.

The clinic is small and the morning monitoring is not bad usually 30 min wait at max which was nice. The check-in front desk, drawing blood team and staff were always very kind, smiley and sent me good vibes
