Dr. Morris was always conservative in selecting single embryo transfer because of the high likelihood for success in our case...has always taken an interest in who we are personally and established a relationship with us as peers. She is genuinely happy or sad for us as we went through the ups and downs of fertility treatment.
[our RMA of NJ nurse] was so helpful during this last round of IVF especially as it took place during the pandemic. I continue to update her on my pregnancy and go to her for questions/concerns such as the vaccine and its use in pregnancy...It is very regimented which I prefer but some others may not like. It is a large operation that works like a well pulled machine and I felt comfortable in that but understand that some others prefer a cozy tight nit feel.
How was your experience with Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Dr. Morris is extremely knowledgeable and up to date with current research and best practices. We went back to her to have all 3 of our children and grew such a lovely personal relationship. She always wants to know how our family is doing and to see pictures of our children.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
I think some may view her as a bit clinical but I think if given time to build rapport she is a lovely person who is very caring and devoted to her patients and their families.

Describe the protocols Jamie Morris used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
We had 3 failed IUI attempts. We became pregnant on our first IVF cycle that was part of a research study. It involved PGS testing and transfer of a single frozen embryo. We had two failed frozen transfers about 1-2 years later and repeated repeated retrieval and had success with the first frozen PGS tested transfer that cycle. Finally 2 years later we had success with the transfer of a frozen embryo selected for the sex.

Describe Jamie Morris's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Dr. Morris was always conservative in selecting single embryo transfer because of the high likelihood for success in our case. She explained her reasoning and methodology and clearly wanted to achieve a healthy and lasting pregnancy and baby.
Dr Morris made us feel like we were her only patients, it was always a very personal experience. When we first began the fertility process we were nervous and unsure what to expect, we chose Dr Morris because her RMA video was very relatable and we were not disappointed. While she is very direct and to the point she managed to do it in a way with such compassion.... We ended up doing injectables and IUI, Dr. Morris felt they would be the most effective for our situation and she was right.
The clinic [RMA of NJ] was awesome I have no negative things to say, the facility was beautiful the staff was always friendly and there hours were tremendously accommodating. We could get early appointments so our treatments never effected our work life.... Michelle was AMAZING! I have no other words but wonderful things to say about Michelle, she was compassionate, straight forward, and always on top of my medical care. I know she had a lot of others to deal with but I felt like I was her number one priority all the time.

While she is very direct and to the point she managed to do it in a way with such compassion. Her staff was the same way, when we graduated from RMA back to our regular doctor I remember feeling a bit sad because we would miss dealing with her and her team. As we look to have our second we wouldn’t hesitate for a minute going back to RMA with Dr Morris

Rely on her and her staff they are great and don’t loose hope!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
My husband dealt with the financial aspect of the care. The billing department was easy to deal with from what I recall.
Dr. Morris is a great doctor. We did not get pregnant with our transfer, however, I was comfortable with our process. We were successful with our first cycle 2 years ago, and my husband and I (and Dr. Morris) were comfortable going through the same process. Dr. Morris is extremely sympathetic and compassionate. She is straightforward and answers every question with intellect and professionalism. She is also very down-to-earth and makes you feel comfortable.
Strengths - The physicians and nursing staff [RMA of New Jersey] are great, and smart. I trust the strategy and processes they have chosen for my treatment. Weaknesses - They are busy, so sometimes you feel as though you are just going through the motions... It's tedious and sometimes they are busy and sometimes they are not, but overall the monitoring appointments are fine and the hours are fairly convenient... I would recommend RMA!

Describe the protocols Jamie Morris used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
After having a successful IVF with RMA our first time (with Dr. Forman), Dr. Morris used our first treatment strategy as a guide, while alternating a few aspects.
In the end, our results were the same as the first time, 6 eggs retrieved (I have a diminished ovarian count), 4 took to ICSI, and one Embryo created. I tested a positive low beta on day 9, and ended up losing the pregnancy on day 11.

Strengths - The physicians and nursing staff are great, and smart. I trust the strategy and processes they have chosen for my treatment.
Weaknesses - They are busy, so sometimes you feel as though you are just going through the motions, but all in all, after you have to have blood drawn so many times, that becomes tedious too. :)
I would recommend RMA!

Describe Jamie Morris's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Even though we only had one embryo to use anyways, I would only choose to do single embryo transfer, but that is my personal opinion.
She [Dr. Morris] promotes eSET...was very warm and friendly - she would call me directly if I had questions. If she was in the room when my nursed called me, she would say hello in the background... never pressured me to start IVF. It took 2 years to be able to save enough for the egg retrieval and Dr. Morris answered my numerous questions over that entire time. She knew I liked to know every detail and every scenario possible and was patient and kind with me.
Dayna [nurse at RMA of New Jersey] is energetic, positive and fun. She didn't waste time with all the cliches - "it only takes one" etc - stuff like that. But instead said "hey if it doesn't work, we try again." And I liked feeling like she was going to be with me the entire time through this process...[monitoring] was very efficient - the earlier the faster you were out of there!...I would recommend sitting down with a financial coordinator and having everything priced out for you so there are no surprises!
How was your experience with Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
The main issue I had with IVF was coming up with the money. Dr. Morris understood and never pressured me to start IVF. It took 2 years to be able to save enough for the egg retrieval and Dr. Morris answered my numerous questions over that entire time. She knew I liked to know every detail and every scenario possible and was patient and kind with me. Dr. Morris did a lot of my morning monitoring and always had a smile and often a hug if I needed one. I think if we met under different circumstances we could definitely be friends.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Ask a lot of questions! Dr. Morris is great and will answer all of them! sometimes even with a diagram.

Describe the protocols Jamie Morris used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
I did "max protocol" for the meds - high dose of gonal. I got 12 eggs - which were more than expected but only 1 made it to day 5 - which was unexpected.

Describe Jamie Morris's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
She promotes eSET. I don't have strong feelings on that either way.
Jamie Morris was very knowledgeable and did a good job with clearly and succinctly summarizing all of our treatment options, as well as summarized clearly all of the results of our fertility tests. When she performed my IUI procedure, she performed it very quickly and painlessly, which I appreciated. I think I could have benefitted from a little more time spent during our appointments, they always felt a bit rushed....I took Clomid for 5 days (cycle days 3-7) and had a trigger injection of Ovidrel on Day 16
The clinic [RMA- Morristown] was always very clean and organized, with light music making for a relaxed atmosphere. Coffee and water were also available. I appreciated that the clinic had signs indicating that children were not allowed...Dayna was absolutely wonderful to work with. She always provided a full report of my testing results, as well as explained in detail every step of our treatment process.... We had some testing done in NYC prior to visiting RMA, but the RMA doctors asked that we re-do our testing in their offices

When she performed my IUI procedure, she performed it very quickly and painlessly, which I appreciated. I think I could have benefitted from a little more time spent during our appointments, they always felt a bit rushed. After the IUI procedure, she walked out very quickly, with little explanation on next steps and instructions for me.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Come prepared to each of your appointments with all of your questions, so you can ask her at once.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Jamie Morris has done a wonderful job of clearly and succinctly summarizing our options for fertility treatment (IUI, IVF), as well as explaining the IUI process once we decided to proceed with that. However, I would have appreciated/benefited from some more information regarding follow up. After the IUI procedure was performed, I didn't receive any further information on what I should be or could be doing to help boost our chances for success, she exited the room fairly quickly.
Describe the protocols Jamie Morris used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
I took Clomid for 5 days (cycle days 3-7) and had a trigger injection of Ovidrel on Day 16, after my blood-work and ultrasound showed that I was ready to ovulate. I went in on Day 17 and Day 18 for two back-to-back IUI procedures. I have follow up bloodwork on this Friday, Day 24, and an appointment scheduled for next Friday, Day 31, for a pregnancy test, unless the period comes sooner.

The clinic was always very clean and organized, with light music making for a relaxed atmosphere. Coffee and water were also available. I appreciated that the clinic had signs indicating that children were not allowed, as I know this could cause sadness or anxiety for RMA patients. I was always able to check in very quickly, and never waited longer than my appointment time to be seen.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
My husband and I paid for all costs out of pocket, this has been a very expensive process so far. We had some testing done in NYC prior to visiting RMA, but the RMA doctors asked that we re-do our testing in their offices, which has made this process very expensive for us. I believe we have spent somewhere around $5k-$7k out of pocket already, and might be looking at up to $32k in additional costs if we proceed with IVF.
Describe Jamie Morris's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Dr. Morris always made me feel at ease. She constantly checked with me during conversations to make sure I was ok (mentally and physically). She wanted to make sure I wasn't too overwhelmed. She even said if ever I felt too overwhelmed to call her and she would chat. She has called me to make sure I understood everything going on and that we were all on the same page...She's very knowledgeable and always willing to answer my questions. She always makes me feel at ease. I couldn't ask for a better Dr.
We went for IUI [at RMA] before IVF because we were unexplained infertility. We also did IUI with clomid instead of injections because we were completely out of pocket...one primary nurse. Joyce is always on top of her calls. Whether it's calling you back after you leave a message to answer any questions or to give you results and/or instructions from morning monitoring she always calls you in a timely fashion...There system was once a problem when I went for blood work after my husband was already in.

Make sure like with any appointment for any treatment to have a list of questions you may have. There really isn't anything to be ready for with her. She really explains things thoroughly and is willing to go over things in more depth if you don't understand.

Describe your experience with RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
RMA has a lot of patients and they are really quick during morning monitoring to get you out so you can get to work. If you wait more than 20 minutes definitely check with them. My husband and I both had to go for blood work and because we went at separate times they checked him off in the system after he left and it kicked me out so when I went and checked in at the front it didn't register in the back with the phlebotomist. That only happened once. Every other time I've been there it's never been a problem.

Describe Jamie Morris's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
I wrote in my previous review. There system was once a problem when I went for blood work after my husband was already in.
Jamie Morris was very knowledgeable. From the first day that I had my consultation with her, I felt like I was in good hands. She always had a plan. I never felt like I was a lost cause. She always explained everything to me and would explain over-and-over again if needed.... Three rounds of IUI using clomid and donor sperm. The third IUI resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. It was then that Dr Morris suggested IVF. The first round of IVF resulted in all my embryos arresting. Because of that, Dr Morris put me on a micro-flare cycle. I was able to get one 5-day blast. (That "blast" is now sleeping on my lap).
I only ever had a problem with my nurse [at RMA of NJ]. She cancelled one of my appointments "for me". When I arrived for my appointment (after jumping through hoops to get off work) they told me that my nurse cancelled my appointment! I have no idea why she did that. When I would get a negative beta she would joke that I could now have a cocktail and eat soft cheese. she was so insensitive! She also forgot to schedule my last cycle (the one that finally resulted in my daughter). I was livid! If I go back to RMA I will definitely request a different nurse.

Dr Morris took it upon herself to research a genetic disorder my husband and I are both carriers for. She made she I was aware of the risks of transferring a girl and wanted me to know she was in my corner no matter what I chose. She personally called me to find out my choice of whether to do a blind transfer or know the gender of the embryo... I was disappointed that she did not perform my egg retrieval or my transfer. The only procedure that Dr. Morris performed was my saline sonogram. She was always friendly and talkative during morning monitoring and made sure I was aware of everything.
RMA was amazing. Every person there from the secretaries, phlembotomists, nurses and attending doctors were amazing. They were always friendly and willing to listen to you. My only issue was with a fellow who had horrible bedside manner when I went for my first ultrasound when I was 4-5 weeks along. She couldn't find the yolk sac and was extremely blunt and uncaring when explaining to me that I could have a miscarriage...Danielle was very sweet and nice and always got back to my when i had a question or concern.

Danielle was very sweet and nice and always got back to my when i had a question or concern.

I felt I had a relationship with her so I was upset when it was not her giving me instructions.

She couldn't find the yolk sac and was extremely blunt and uncaring when explaining to me that I could have a miscarriage. It made me uncomfortable and extremely scared. What I did appreciate was when I went back for my next ultrasound it was written in my chart that an attending doctor (dr forman) had to be the one doing my ultrasound.
Dr. Morris prescribed high dosages of pills, extra supplements including prenatal and high dosages of follistem. She wanted to get my follicles grow faster. I was lucky to have ten growing but during retrievals, they were all zero eggs retrieved. ... Dr. Morris talks to you as if she is not speaking with a patient but a business person. I did not feel comfortable and her time is precious.

How was your experience with Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Dr. Morris talks to you as if she is not speaking with a patient but a business person. I did not feel comfortable and her time is precious. We are timed! Each time you see or speak with her either on the phone or face to face it is $300 for 15 minutes. It is all about the money! She was never there 100% of the time. Whenever I do my sonogram, it is always different doctors. Dr. Morris was not the one who did my retrievals. But I do love that doctor cause she is more sympathetic. I would not recommend her.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Research! Research! Research! Do you your research well about Dr. Morris. Do not settle for one doctor for consultation. At the end of the day, it is your decision to make but, in honestly, please do not pick her!

(it is really hard to say).
Weaknesses - charding patients to see there doctor for 15 minutes everytime sucks! That is why we only saw her twice cause it was expensive. She's hardly at the clinic, would be nice if she was there doing her rounds and talking to her patients. The place should have windows for sunshine...extra vitamin D and provide positive moods for patients.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
I remembered just getting blood work first and then ultrasound second. Who does the sonogram I remembered for me was another doctor (male) so it was a sonographers. The doctor was respectful and he would tell us what he sees and tell us how big the follicles were and how many. That's about it.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jamie Morris at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Oh boy! So, we took out a loan for medical loan that they have at that clinic. So, we never saw the money, it was sent straight to the clinic. All I remembered, if we needed to speak with Dr. Morris, it will cost us each time $300 for 15 minutes of her time.
Describe Jamie Morris's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
I did not get this far when I was under the care of Dr. Morris.
She [Dr. Morris] was very helpful in helping me understand all different aspects of treatments. With having gone thru multiple losses she was very caring in trying to find out what the problem was. I never felt like a number with her...She was very caring with the whole process....I would go in on day 3 of cycle for bloodwork and ultrasound. I would start my follistum then. Normally 100 iu I would go for bloodwork ultrasound for a couple days until they told me to use my ovidril trigger shot. Then I would do 2 back to back days of iui. Would go back a couple days later to check levels.
There very helpful with everything from making appts to helping w finance. I became very friendly with most of the staff [at RMA]. I was there so much that they made me feel very welcome. They were compasonite with me thru every loss that we had...Always felt very comfortable with the nurses! They always answered my crazy questions!,,, No ivf coverage.

She [Dr. Jamie Morris] seemed to listen. Paid attention to my requests...took time to review my history and explain everything. She was polite and lighthearted but didn't sugar coat things. When things were not successful she immediately moved to plan B and explained again why we changed plans...We had to start with clomid as my insurance insisted on that. But, as soon as I failed that cycle, she moved on to the injectable medication as she feels that more effective
Dana [nurse at RMA of New Jersey] is very prompt at returning my emails or calls. She's friendly and patient...The strengths are that they offer many options for fitting into your busy schedule. Blood draws and ultrasound at different campuses and a big window to come in according to my schedule. The weakness in my opinion is that my doctor doesn't always do my insemination. It is done by a physician but someone that I didn't know

At first I thought Dr. Morris was cold in how she explained things but then I realized that maybe she has to be this way to be understanding to all of our situations. I had a miscarriage and she was more than compassionate when she had to tell me the news during the ultrasound and then shared private information about herself. It made me feel more connected to her at that point...She has your best interest at heart.

Describe the protocols Jamie Morris used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
We only underwent IUI because my insurance covered that and not IVF. She had recommended IVF immediately but we couldn't afford it at the time. I underwent 3 IUIs with 3 negative pregnancy tests. Once we were able to come up with funding for the IVF I underwent 2 egg retrievals as one embryo was created from the first round. The second round she changed my dosage a bit and I was lucky enough to get 4 embryos.

Morning monitoring is from 6-8 and I think it should be extended an extra hour. Some patients travel very far to come to the clinic like myself. So when I leave my house at 6:30 AM I don't arrive to the clinic until about 7:15-7:30 AM.

Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
1. I was sent another patients transfer instructions
2. my trigger shot was never called into the pharmacy prior to transfer so I had to scramble to get it.
Jamie [Dr. Morris] was very caring. She made me feel comfortable. She was aggressive with the treatment and got right to the point. If IVF was covered she would have had us go right to IVF but since it was not she recommended trying 2 IUI cycles. Both which failed but she was a great dr....She had me on follistim injections with an ovadrel trigger shot which worked in stimulating my overuse. I had 3 mature follicles for both IUIs... Request her and request to not start on clomid and go straight to injections if possible
The clinic [RMA NJ] overall was always very Clean, professional and caring. I felt like they really knew what they were doing and they were trying their best to help us reach our goals of becoming pregnant. It did take over 2 months to actually start a treatment cycle because of all the preliminary tests so I do recommend starting as soon as you can!... Insurance covered everything except medication. It was about $1000 per cycle for the medications... Jaclyn was great! Always available and to the point
