2017 - 2018, Unsuccessful
During my IVF cycl [with Dr. Jay Bolnick] I was monitored every few days through ultrasound and advised to drink a lot of fluids and consume extra protein. I don’t really feel that he used any special protocols. Just basic IVF meds and monitoring...He took the time to explain at consultation and procedures but when I was having issues for baselines for frozen embryo transfer there were issues that weren’t addressed and when I tried to call the office I never received calls back.
I was happy with my care at this clinic [Ob/GYN Associates of WNY] up until the point the infertility nurse left the practice mid-cycle and months passed by without an adequate replacement...For the most part there were no issues until the fertility nurse left the practice. After that point I had issues getting my prescriptions called into pharmacy and had issues getting responses and call backs about treatment options
How was your experience with Jay Bolnick (OB/GYN) at OB/GYN Associates of WNY?
Dr Bolnick explained things fairly well at consultation and when we proceeded with IVF The retrieval went smoothly. I was disappointed that we only had 2 embryos frozen out of 13 retrieved and were unable to do a fresh transfer. When I returned to the office for baseline testing, there were issues with lining thickness and I was unable to go forward with frozen embryo transfer for 3 months in a row. I attempted to address the issues and figure out what we could do to move forward and got no response in several occasions from the dr or nurses
