Jason M. Franasiak

Dr Franasiack was compassionate and personable. We didn’t feel like a number or “just another patient” when we saw him. He always seemed familiar with our case and was ready to answer questions immediately. When we did have a setback with suspected polyps that delayed the transfer cycle, he showed compassion and seemed to genuinely understand our disappointed and took the time to explain the importance of delaying to yield best results

He’s amazing and patient and always ready to answer questions. Don’t hesitate to ask any question you have, even if you feel it’s an awkward/dumb question

We had male factor infertility and given the specifics of it, he cut right to the chase and recommended bypassing medications and IUI. We went straight to IVF with ICSI. We did one egg retrieval cycle with genetic testing and freezing. We did one single embryo transfer cycle

Marlton office never had more than a 10 minute wait

In addition to highly specific diagnosis and treatment program that Dr. Franasiak provided, he was realistic about what the outcomes could be at every stage, and was incredibly kind during every interaction. We always looked forward to seeing him. As far as specific outcomes with Dr. Franasiak and RMA Marlton, they were overwhelmingly positive. For example, with previous clinics, after multiple IVF retrievals, we were only able to produce one PGS normal embryo. For my age at the time (37), this was unusual. Prior clinics gave no explanation, they would just tell us to keep doing retrievals, which was emotionally and financially exhausting. We only needed one round of IVF with Dr. Franasiak, as he made our protocol highly personalized. After just one round, we had FOUR PGS normal embryos. I still remember getting the call, I was in shock and cried about the good news. Similarly, treatment from previous clinics - including years of IUI, IVF, and random surgeries - had never resulted in a clinical pregnancy (only a life threatening ectopic). Previous doctors said I had "implantation failure" and never tested me or gave a reason why. Dr. Franasiak looked into the reasons why I hadn't had implantation in my uterus, and tested me for both endometriosis and chronic endometritus. My results were positive for both. After treating the endometriosis and endometritus, we did our first frozen embryo transfer with Dr. Franasiak, and now I'm overjoyed to be 18-weeks pregnant with our first child due in June. We have recommended Dr. Franasiak and RMA Marlton to all of our friends with fertility issues, and we'll be returning for baby #2 when we're ready.

Start with Dr. Franasiak and RMA Marlton and don't waste your time going anywhere else.

There were several changes to our treatment strategy that were recommended by Dr. Franasiak. On the diet and nutrition side, in getting ready for our retrieval, his office recommended going dairy and gluten free to cut down on inflammation. They also recommended a microbiome protocol which included high potency pre- and pro-biotics, and vaginal probiotic when we got to the transfer stage. Both my husband and I also tested positive for MTHFR mutations, and as a precaution, we were recommended to take 5g of methylfolate per day (people with MTHFR have a higher likelihood of aneuploid embryos). On the medication side, I did about two weeks of estrogen priming with estradiol, and then eventually took about 450 IUs of Gonal-F or Follistim and about 50 IUs of low-dose HGC. I went in every few days for the ultrasound. One big difference I noticed from other clinics, is that I was triggered earlier with Dr. Franasiak's office. All of this resulted in our highest number of eggs (18), which made five embryos, of which an astounding four were chromosomally normal. Dr. Franasiak diagnosed me with endometriosis, which was 60-days of lupron prior to the frozen embryo transfer. During this time, I was also treated for chronic endometritus, which was about 2-weeks of antibiotics. The transfer was seamless, professional, and now I'm pregnant with a baby boy.

Super efficient, minimal wait-time (5-10 minutes at most), and I was usually out within 10-15 minutes after being brought back. It was all very easy, seamless, and professional.

We are very fortunate in that my health insurance covered the cost of diagnosis, IVF, and related care. I only paid the co-pay and a percentage of the medication costs.

Dr. Franasiak explained to us what the pros and cons were of single vs. multiple embryo transfers, and recommended doing a single. We were comfortable with this, and are very happy with the outcome.

I can’t recommend Dr. Franasiak and RMA enough. They are the reason I’m pregnant and why I am so happy and grateful. I loved that he personally called me and gave me the good news. Even when it was discovered that we needed to switch from IUI to IVF, Dr. Franasiak took the time to explain what the next step was and what I should be expecting. I didn’t see him personally that often because I live closer to the Somerset office but Dr. Franasiak was always my main doctor and I am so grateful I made the decision to go with RMA. I will absolutely reschedule an appointment with him for my next pregnancy.

Trust him completely, he’s an amazing doctor and he will do anything in his power to help you build / expand your family. Also answer him any question you have, he’s incredibly patient and kind.

I originally was going to do the IUI but then we needed to redirect to IVF, so I’m not sure if there was a different strategy. When it was clear to the doctor that IUI was not an option, Dr. Franasiak was honest and didn’t waste my time or give me false hope. The process leading up to the egg retrieval was hard because of the daily injections and all the effects of that.

I’m fortunate that my insurance paid most of my treatment but I did have a copay for the fertility medicine, a copay for some of my visits (not all of them, just some), genetic testing, and the egg freezing (because that is not covered by insurance). Medicine copay : approx $175-200 Optional acupuncture: $255 Copay for visits: $30 each Egg freezing: $1,000 Genetic testing: $150-300

I appreciated his very real and straightforward communication, while still making me feel very hopeful about our situation. He always worked with me to find the best course of treatment depending on our circumstances. When I was struggling with setbacks he presented information and facts in a way that was warm, focused on my best interests, while also re-framing my understanding of the setbacks to give me hope and encouragement. I now am pregnant with a healthy baby and it is all because he didn't let me give up. I am forever grateful to him.

Take him up on his offer to answer any questions and trust that he has your best interests in mind.

I was started with a synthetic cycle that resulted in a positive pregnancy that lasted 25 weeks, which then didn't end up working out and we lost the baby due to developmental issues. None relating to genetics or anything myself or the doctors could have predicted. After a few additional unsuccessful synthetic cycles, Dr. Franasiak switched to a natural cycle which resulted in a pregnancy that is healthy and going well (currently!).

Overall it usually went well. It was frustrating when they were backed up and it took a long time to be seen for a quick bloodwork and ultrasound visit.

I had to pay co-pays and out of pocket for certain procedures even with insurance. Since 2020 my total out of pocket is around $15,000 for all medical costs.

The doctor will only allow a single embryo transfer. He informed me that the science demonstrated the best outcomes for mom and baby were due to one single embryo being transferred at a time.

At every sonogram Dr. Franasiak took time out of his busy schedule (even a minute or 2) just to ask how I was doing and always made sure to ask if I had any questions. This extra minute meant the world to me going through treatment because I felt like a human with concerns a say in my treatment, not a number. He explained the process in terms I could understand and thoroughly explained my recommended diagnostic testing and treatment plan. He also considered the number of children I wanted so that my son (provided by RMANJ under his care) could have a sibling which was important to me. Even after my HSG (which I was insanely nervous about) and egg retrieval he called me to see how I was feeling and made sure I was doing OK.

Stay hopeful, keep trying and take care of yourself mentally during the process. Give yourself grace for scheduling an appointment and taking the next step to achieving your dreams. RMANJ has great statistics so do your research and stay strong. It’s ok to feel all the feelings that come with infertility but take care of yourself and give your self grace during the journey because it can be stressful!

I used menopur primarily because it was cheaper and gonal f. My trigger was lupron and I retrieved 14 eggs. 7 fertilized 4 embryos made it to blast and 3 were texted normal with PGD testing. I have 3 4BB embryos one of which resulted in my son Ken. I did a frozen embryo transfer with a natural cycle so no PIO injections just suppositories. My testing was all normal it was just that my husband did not have a lot of sperm so this was the recommended treatment plan. I chose not to do IUIs because the success rates with IVF were so much better and it was hard getting my husband to come into the office

Monitoring here is very quick and easy. Blood draws and sonograms are great. Front desk is so kind

We did a single embryo transfer as multiple are not allowed and I did a fresh transfer because my cycles are normal. I had a beautiful lining with a beautiful transfer that resulted in my son Ken. He was a 4 BB embryo

Dr. Fransiak provided the details necessary to review our treatment options. We were able to get an appointment within a good amount of time to start the diagnostic consultation and follow up results. Even though I did not like the diagnoses, unexplained infertility, he was encouraging on the options to seek pregnancy.

As with any appointment, research beforehand, and write down questions you have to make sure all is covered during your appointment.

Treatments have been prescribed but not started. Dr. Franasiak provided information on what to expect and research before making a decision.

I have very good insurance, no high deductible/PPO plan. Copay of $25 each visit with the doctor. All lab work is covered at 100%. Prescription estimated costs for two medicines was under $50. IUI route was covered at approximately 95%.

None at this time.

Starting with our initial consult, Dr. Franasiak made us feel like more than a number, and like actual people. He had great bed-side manner, yet was always up front with us in regards to what we were facing with Secondary Unexplained Infertility. He was always understanding of our feelings, and justified our frustrations with the lack of answers the tests/treatments/results were able to provide. When we decided it was best for me to take a break from treatments, we had a discussion with Dr. Frasnasiak about same. He reassured us that everything was done by all parties in an effort to conceive a baby, and that all progressed "as it should." He also stated that if we felt it was in my best interest to take some time to ourselves, it was understandable and that if we ever decide to continue with treatment, he will be there to assist us. Although the three treatment (IUI) cycles we went through did not result in a pregnancy, my husband and I were very glad that we chose Dr. Franasiak at RMA, and that they were a part of our journey. We highly recommend him to anyone in the area trying to conceive a baby!

Dr. Franasiak was extremely knowledgable about infertility and the procedures and treatments of same. Although it was initially difficult for me to remain calm during the treatment cycle, I quickly learned how educated he is and that I needed to put my full trust in him. He is very smart and was aware of our case in great detail. Let the doctors do their job, and in doing so it is (or was for us) easier to remain more calm throughout the treatment cycle.

We previously completed four treatment cycles at another clinic, to no avail. Three of which I was prescribed Clomid, and the final one we used Gonal-F. Dr. Franasiak started my first treatment cycle with Gonal-F and had increased my dosage to 100 mL, which was higher than we had previously been prescribed. My follicles developed at different rates each time however, Dr. Franasiak kept a close eye on same. That being said, I did not use Gonal-F for the same number of days each cycle. A few times we were asked to come in a couple days in a row, rather than every other day. This was for Dr. Franasiak's reassurance that all was happening as planned, and to prevent over development of my follicles and any other potential issues.

My husband and I have very good insurance. Although our specialist copay is $5, when reviewing the EOBs/claims, RMA had comparable charges to the previous clinic we went to.

Dr. Franasiak is caring and gentle. He uses the best available evidence to assist him in his decisions and is willing to research for additional treatments that may assist pregnancy. He is thoughtful and I believe he is making the best decisions ossible with regards to my needs and my care

Ask as many questions as you can think of and write them down as prep for meeting with the doctor.

We started with egg retrieval immediately as he didn't feel IUI was an option for me. He tried egg retrieval twice but then felt it wouldn't be ethical to continue trying as I was a "low responder." We moved onto an egg donor which initially produced a pregnancy. I was offered acupuncture on day of transfer. The miscarriage occurred after my discharge from fertility care. Now they have placed me on probiotics/prebiotics in prep for my next transfer cycle.

Morning monitoring was always much earlier than I needed it to be before work. Most of the time, I had a minimal wait period in the waiting room but on occasion they got backed up.

Egg donor/retrieval cost approximately $25,000. Embryo transfer was approximately $5000. All appointments with ultrasounds were $500 and doctor's consult was $250 each time.

My doctor prefers single embryo transfers due to evidence indicating it is equally successful and less harmful to the baby and the mother.

Dr. Franasiak has been pleasant, candid and thorough since my first visit. He explained the details of the treatment options, answered all of my questions and even provided guidance and support through the more emotional side of this journey.

Don't hesitate to reach out to him after an appointment if you have additional questions he is great at getting back to patients.

We first saw the doctor last summer and continued to try on our own while getting the work up which took a bit longer than usual due to work conflicts then in January we learned that we were pregnant and came in for a workup because of recurring miscarriages at this time we learned it was ectopic. Dr. Franasiaks initial recommendation was methotrexate with monitoring as it was early in the pregnancy and unfortunately that didn't work and I needed a salpingectomy. The methotrexate will be out of my system by May 1st and we will be moving forward with our first cycle

Exceptional communication and knowledge. Invites questions and even draws figures to explain in visual representation the issues we are encountering. Makes sure we are comfortable and understand each stage before we proceed. He is also an excellent, skilled surgeon and I had no complications from my hysteroscopic polypectomy.

Ask lots of questions. He is a good listener and does an excellent job explaining things in lay terms.

So far I have completed diagnostics and surgical correction. I’ve had Lab work, genetic testing and consultaion with a genetics councillor, I’ve had an uktrasound, and SIS, and HSG, and a hysteroscopic polypectomy. This cycle I will be using Clomid and will be monitored for ovulation and IUI.

I had a health care cost and billing explanation consultation with a team member before we bagan any treatments to explain my personal health benefits, what my personal responsibilities would include, what my deductible would be, and what treatments my insurance covers before we ever began diagnostics and treatments. Everything has been exactly as described at that meeting so I knew going into this treatment what to expect and was financially prepared for the costs associated with my treatment plan.

Dr Franasiak is an amazing doctor with great bedside manner. He never made me feel uncomfortable or upset given the circumstances. He always inspired hope with me and I always felt like I was in the hands of the absolute BEST.

Keep doing your amazing work and creating life with science by your side :)

He wanted to do 1 embryo transfer only even after I discussed Doing 2 embryos. He felt as if a singleton pregnancy was safest for myself and my future child. He also had my thyroid tested and put me on thyroid meds once I was pregnant because it was low and he didn’t want it to interfere with my pregnancy in any way. During retrieval he recommended I do laser acupuncture before and after the procedure to increases chances of baby “sticking”, and yes it did work!

Monitoring appointments were early in the morning so you could go before work. I like the monitoring appt times now because I can go to monitoring while my husband stays home with my son and I can be back before he has to leave for work. No babysitter needed. If I was working it would have been convenient to get monitoring done before work. It was a very smooth process.

They provided me with a program called “helping heros” and since we were a military family they completely paid for my retrieval and transfer and all Monitoring in full. In addition, they coveted the costs of cryopreservation of my embryos for 2 years after treatment. They also stored my husbands sperm for 1 year at no cost to us. The only costs we had were to the pharmacy for our medications, and even then dr Franasiak provided some samples at no cost to help with the expense.

No comments. I believe he chose the right path for us.

Extremely caring, very knowledgeable, helped us reach our dream of having a baby. Explained things well, was available when needed, very professional. As a patient of IVF, treatment can be tiring and scary. I felt comfortable in Dr. Franasiaks care. I felt like I was being helped on a daily basis.

Ask lots of questions and seek support when needed.

Monitoring was every morning. Very little wait most of the times.

Insurance covered my costs.

Dr. Franasiak is an amazing doctor! His enthusiasm and optimism were exactly what my husband and I needed throughout this IVF journey. His level of professionalism and knowledge were so helpful every step of the way. It’s very evident that Dr. Franasiak is passionate about his work. When we first met Dr. Franasiak, he took the time to get to know us and was very detailed with how the treatment plan would begin and what each step would look like. Dr. Franasiak and the team walked along side my husband and I throughout the entire process and we felt comfort in knowing that with just a phone call we had access to doctors and nurses anytime. Dr. Franasiak is the best and we cannot wait to keep working with him as we continue to build our family!

Ask questions! Dr. Franasiak will take the time to answer them all!

Morning monitoring hours were an efficient, well oiled machine. Everything ran smoothly and in organized manner.

We paid for copays for visits and medications. We paid for the laser acupuncture and what insurance didn’t cover

When I made the appointment with this clinic I thought the doctor would be the one who does all of my monitoring which I have not seen him since I started the cycle. This cycle with injectable medications I only had one follicle I told him that next cycle I would like to increase my dose but he said that he will not do that in fear of multiples even though we are willing to take the risk. Not sure how to evaluate the outcome as I'm still in my 2ww. Positive thing about the clinic is that they do back-to-back iui's which increases the chances...

I paid out of pocket so it cost me 3,000 for Monitoring cycle and about $800 for injectable medication

Dr. Franasiak is a great doctor. He is extremely professional. He takes time to meet with you and go over all options and all questions you may have. I would leave the appointment always feeling so comfortable and happy that I had such a great caring doctor

If you go to RMA please make sure to see doctor Franasiak. You will not be disappointed

I was diagnosed with unexpected infertility. My husband and I were trying for a year before we went to RMA. Dr. F went over all the information with us, and we discussed treatment options. I had one round of IUI which was closely monitored. Now I am pregnant with twins! I’m so happy and thankful for RMA and doctor F!

My insurance was able To cover most of it. But it was worth it!

I had IUI It was a quick easy procedure

Dr. Franasiak was always very professional and kind. He would also take extra time to answer any questions I had along the way during any phase of cycle. Always very positive and very knowledgeable. He would personally make phone calls to congratulate on positive tests.

Ask as many questions up front as possible so you understand the process.

He was an amazing doctor to have. He listened to everything I said and made me feel comfortable every visit and every procedure. I never felt compelled to do something I didn’t want to. He was patient, kind and compassionate.

Dr. Franasiak is a scientist. He explores all options and explains them to you. He is on the cutting edge of the science. Dr. Franasiak set realistic expectations and did a nice job of managing expectations. At low times I was confident we would work together to find a solution.

He is a scientist and will work hard for you. He is realistic when setting expectations.

Estrogen priming antagonist with HGH. Freeze all with CCS testing.

Respectful of schedules and quick

Retrieval probably $15,000; transfer $4000

We had a great experience with Dr. Franasiak. I am currently 26 weeks pregnant, and owe the ability to get pregnant to him. Our process was definitely longer than initially expected, when we found out after my first egg retrieval that I had poor egg quality, likely related to my longstanding history of endometriosis. Because of our desire for two children, we ultimately ended up proceeding with 2 additional egg retrievals to bank embryos. Dr. Franasiak was always supportive of our wishes throughout the process. Many physicians would ignore the management of endometriosis during IVF or wait until 1 or multiple failed transfers before prioritizing treatment of endometriosis to help with success rates. Dr. Franasiak took my diagnosis of endometriosis seriously from the beginning. He never insisted that we just proceed with a transfer as usual first, before addressing the endometriosis. He suggested and was supportive of being as proactive as possible, and following my 3rd egg retrieval, we immediately proceeded with a 2 month course of Lupron Depot and letrozole for suppression based off of the current studies/recommendations. Immediately following this, we went into our first transfer cycle and continued daily Lupron dosing until it was time for progesterone. All of this was to keep my endometriosis fully suppressed until transfer to help us achieve the best possible chance of success. Our first transfer was successful (currently 26 weeks), and I truly believe it was because the endometriosis was taken seriously and addressed prior to transfer. Because we required 3 egg retrievals and struggled to make embryos, it was so important to us to have a customized plan and ensure that none were wasted by just following a clinic's routine transfer protocol.

Don't hesitate to schedule a telemedicine visit or follow up visit to recap your last procedure (egg retrieval, transfer) or discuss next steps. This isn't always suggested by the clinic/nurses, but I would ask for an appointment, and Dr. Franasiak was always happy to meet with my husband and I to go over all of our questions.

My 3 egg retrievals were completed with the antagonist protocol (Gonal, low-dose hCG, cetrotide). I responded very well to these medications for each retrieval producing 26, 28, and 16 eggs for each of the retrievals. Between the final egg retrieval and transfer, we opted for suppression due to my endometriosis with the goal of increasing our chances for a successful first transfer. This consisted of 2 months of Lupron Depot along with daily letrozole. For our first FET which was successful, the protocol consisted of estrogen pills twice daily along with daily low-dose Lupron. The Lupron was to ensure that my ovary remained quiet and estrogen stayed controlled leading up to transfer. 5-6 days prior to the scheduled transfer, we began daily PIO injections and continued those until 10 weeks of gestation.

While I was doing morning monitoring for retrievals and transfer, RMA operated with morning monitoring hours, meaning I could come anytime that was convenient to me from 6am-8am. They just recently changed this to scheduled appointment times, however I did prefer the 2 hour window where I could come when it was convenient for me. Some days, I would be there at opening at 6am because I had a busy work schedule that day, and other days I would arrive closer to 7:45am when that was best for me. It was often very busy on weekends (since the Princeton office also had to come to Marlton for monitoring on the weekends), so I would aim to get there as early as possible before the rush. Overall I found that the morning monitoring process was often very smooth and efficient, with a few days that were notable for having longer delays.

I could not have asked for a better fertility doctor! Dr. Franasiak is truly the best. He is kind and has a very calm demeanor which is perfect for couples going through fertility issues. He explained everything we needed to know, he's detailed, and he makes sure that you have his undivided attention during sessions. You would be extremely lucky to have Dr. Franasiak as your fertility doctor!

He will ease your mind and will help you throughout this journey. He's kind, compassionate, and calm, which is perfect for these types of scenarios. He's very knowledgable and intelligent. I trusted all his recommendations.

We opted for IVF instead of IUI. It involved lots of injections and pills.

I loved the monitoring hours! It's from 6am - 8 am. Closer to 8am it would get busier, so I always tried to come in early. I like that they're open at 6am since I work in the mornings and I was able to stop by before work. It worked out perfectly for me. They are also very flexible.

It was around $14,000 for everything (treatments, procedures, medications). I did have insurance but it's not that great. However, before proceeding with RMa, I knew it was going to be expensive so it was not shocking to me by any means.

They only transfer one embryo at a time. Which was perfectly fine for me.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Franasiak! He was very upfront during our consultation and thoroughly explained what we should expect going forward, any risks, and what our chances were. I saw him for several consultations and check-ins, my HSG, and my FET. I was very nervous for my HSG and Dr. Franasiak completely put me at ease - he put music on during the procedure and kept the conversation going to keep me distracted. I've had 3 HSG's during my fertility journey (only one with Dr. Franasiak) and his was the most comfortable and painless by far. He also made my transfer feel very special. Dr. Franasiak also called me frequently during my treatments - he called to congratulate me when 3 out of my 4 eggs made it through PGT-A testing, again when I received a positive pregnancy test, and again when I graduated the clinic (I was unable to see him for my last appointment due to my own conflicts). Aside from having good bedside manner, Dr. Franasiak is also extremely knowledgeable in his field and I trusted him completely to make the right calls for my retrieval and FET. I'll definitely be calling him down the road when it's time to further expand my family.

I would tell a prospective patient to trust whatever advice Dr. Franasiak provides.

I have low amh (0.6). I had a luteal phase start. I started on 2 vials of Menopur and 300 Follistim. We added Ganirelex on day 6 and triggered with Ovidrel on day 10. We ended up with 4 eggs retrieved. All 4 made it to blast and 3 made it through PGT-A testing.

My egg retrieval cycle was $13,125 and FET was $5,000. I paid up front but my insurance ended up covering the costs. RMA has been easy to deal with regarding reimbursement for what I paid.

I could not recommend Dr. Franasiak strongly enough. After my husband and I were told by another clinic that we wouldn't be able to have our own children, our expectations were quite low as we sought a second opinion. Dr. Franasiak gave us hope we didn't know we could have. He is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate, and we had full confidence the entire time we were in his care. Even though we could potentially have our remaining frozen embryos transferred to a location closer to home, we will continue driving out to Marlton for Dr. Franasiak to help us build our family.

Go in with an open mind and the confidence that you are in great hands. Dr. Franasiak will be honest with you about your situation and possible outcomes, and he will treat you with utmost respect and compassion the entire time.

My husband and I faced a rare male factor infertility called globozoospermia. When we met for our initial visit, Dr. Franasiak explained that he had worked with two other couples in the past with this diagnosis and that both couples were able to have healthy babies as a result of the same strategy. I went through a typical egg retrieval cycle, and the embryologist used calcium ionophore while performing ICSI to fertilize the eggs. The result was four healthy embryos, which were frozen. I underwent one frozen embryo transfer in 2022 which resulted in a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Our second frozen embryo transfer was in August 2023, and I am currently 9 weeks pregnant.

Monitoring hours ran in the morning; specific times varied slightly by location. Sometimes there was a bit of a wait, but the waiting room had plenty of seats and had a quiet atmosphere. The monitoring process ran smoothly.

The egg retrieval cycle (not counting medications) was around $16,000. Genetic testing of the embryos was $300/embryo. Storage of frozen embryos was $1200/year.

RMA adopted a single embryo transfer policy in 2021 due to the success rates of their embryo transfers and the risks involved with being pregnant with multiples. We respected Dr. Franasiak's explanation of the policy and RMA's rationale for adopting it.

Dr. Franasiak was instrumental in our successful IVF journey, and we can't thank him enough. After an unsuccessful first attempt at another clinic, we turned to RMA NJ, choosing them based on their impressively high IVF success rates. From the moment we began treatment at RMA NJ, we experienced an incredible level of warmth and hospitality, a noticeable improvement over our previous experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Franasiak and his clinic for anyone seeking an outstanding IVF experience.

Copay $20 for each visit, $2000 for egg retrieval (not covered by my insurance), $1000 for genetic testing (not covered by my insurance)

I appreciated Dr. Franasiak's straight-forward nature. This allowed my husband and I to have realistic expectations. He presented the pros and cons of all of the options and what was most likely to work, while allowing me to be fully involved in my care and treatment decisions. He touched base with me every step of the way, even when he wasn't able to do all of my procedures (I chose another location for sooner availability). He was always more than willing to answer my questions, even if I thought they were 'dumb' questions.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially if it will help you be more comfortable with your treatment plan.

My first egg retrieval cycle consisted of Gonal F, Menopur, Cetrotide, with Lupron and HCG trigger. This yielded 16 eggs, 9 mature, 8 fertilized, and only 1 blastocyst (the last drop was unexpected, suspected to be an egg quality issue). The blastocyst was PGT normal, but failed to implant. We decided to move forward with a second egg retrieval. This consisted of a higher dose of Gonal F, same dose Menopur, Fyremadel, with Lupron and HCG trigger. We also added Omnitrope/human growth hormone; Dr. Franasiak admitted there was not much data for its use in my age/situation, but we decided to try it. This yielded 36 eggs, 26 mature, 24 fertilized, and 12 blastocysts, all of which were PGT normal. I am currently 8w2d pregnant with my 2nd transfer/1st from that cycle.

Morning monitoring was very convenient for me. I appreciated that I was able to go in before work without needing to take time off. I also appreciated not having to commit to a specific appointment time, and having multiple options for location.

I do have insurance, but unfortunately my infertility coverage is not great and I have a fairly high deductible. Also, my treatment spanned the end of one calendar into the next, so I had to pay towards my deductible twice. After 2 egg retrievals and 2 frozen embryo transfers, including medications, I believe my OOP cost was approximately $15k.

Dr. Franasiak explained the risks and benefits of single vs multiple embryo transfer, and we agreed with his recommendation for single embryo transfer.

Dr. Franasiak is very kind, patient, and gentle. When having my HSG done, he knew I was a nervous wreck and without having my husband there, he was able to keep me calm and be very quick. He was always explaining everything that was going on as it was going on, what we were looking at or what we were doing. His bedside manner's were amazing. He made sure to always ask how I was doing/feeling, always ask for consent before doing something physically, and always acknowledged my husband which we beyond appreciated. When ever my husband had questions or thoughts he was always there for him as well.

I wouldn't change anything.

My husband and I went in for a consultation. Then I had an HSG done to make sure I didn't have any tube or ovarian blockages. Then I had a Saline-sonogram to check the shaping of my Uterus. After that, reported day 1 of my period. After a few days of my period, I started birth control. I took birth control for about 4 days, then went back to check for uterine lining and stopped the b.c. I then took Letrezole twice a day for 5 days. After a few days of no letrezole, i went back and started my monitoring for ovulation. I ended up having 3 healthy large eggs, and a 4th smaller egg. Once my ovulation was occuring, they performed back to back IUI's & sperm washes. Found out 14 days later I was pregnant! Made it to 8 weeks pregnant and "graduated"/discharged back to my regular OB.

I would say it wasn't as much as I thought it would be, it was definitely more affordable than other places that i've heard about. It was still expensive to me and my husband as we are young adults, with life debt. But we made it work.
