Jeffrey Klein

My experience with Dr. Klein was nothing short of a disaster. I rarely saw him and I felt like another number in a fertility factory. One alarming thing that happened was during monitoring. One of the ultrasound techs told me my uterus was very thick (20+mm). This was especially concerning because my mother had uterine cancer and my uterus had never shown this pattern before. When I reached out to Klein expressing my concerns, he said we should do a hysteroscopy — during which, my uterus looked normal. He failed to take accountability for this shortcoming of his staff. Furthermore, each ultrasound tech gave me a different egg count each time. The whole process lacked basic continuity. When we debriefed about my failed egg retrieval where all my embryos arrested, he told me my egg quality was bad (sure, but how can this be known with certainty?) and that I should consider donor eggs. He essentially told me I should not consider continuing on with my own eggs despite being 34 years old and previously pregnant. I got the strong sense that he cared more about his success statistics than seeing my treatment through to a successful outcome. At several points in my cycle I mentioned that the egg yield was lower than ever before and that I was open to canceling the cycle. This suggestion was ignored and they kept telling me I’d be able to get a few good ones. When they did the retrieval and only six eggs were mature, I questioned whether we triggered too soon and Dr. Klein suggested we could have. I often felt that I knew more about my body and treatment than the doctors in this clinic. At no point did I feel properly supported or cared for during treatment.

If you are looking for a standard protocol in a fertility factory, RMA and Dr. Klein would probably be a reasonable fit. If you have a more unique case (e.g. Previous losses, endometriosis, etc), run for the hills.

Clomid, gonal f, menopur, cetrotide

Dr. Klein is very good at what does. A real profesional with tribal knowledge in his field. He was encouraging but never pushy. I was expecting the process to be very overwhelming especially going through it alone, but it ended up being very manageable and the experience overall was very empowering. He personally called me after the procedure and went over the results with me. He was very thorough and precise, which eases my mind especially at such a busy clinic. There were no mistakes made. A big thanks to Dr. Klein and the amazing nurses and medical staff that work with him.

Ask questions and if you're still unsure about something, send him an email. The staff at RMA is very responsive.

Dr. Klein started me off on a higher dose of medications to stimulate my ovaries, because he wanted me to be happy with my results. Once my levels started to show growth, he brought me dosage back to the standard levels. I ended up with very good results, and I appreciate that he had the expertise to get me there.

Altogether I spent over $12,000 (out of pocket) on my egg freezing cycle. That included the retrieval cost, medication, anesthesia, and office co-pays/lab fees. This is about what I expected to pay.

If I could take Dr. Klein with me everywhere I go, I would. He is equally kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He explains things clearly and takes the time to answer any questions I had, sets clear expectations and fully appraises you of the risks.

If you have questions, ask them. If you have concerns, raise them. He will take the time to answer them as best as possible and make you as comfortable as possible.

2 IVF cycles - both antagonist - first without birth control and the second with. We needed a second cycle after all our embryos arrested on day 3 in the first cycle. The second cycle was different to help the eggs mature at the same rate to retrieve more mature eggs. Both cycles produces 18 eggs each.

The office was rarely busy for morning monitoring, and my wait was typically shorter than 15 minutes. Typically, once I got called in for blood draw, the ultrasound nurse was waiting for me.

Dr. Klein discussed costs with us during our initail consultation. However, most costs associated with my IVF treatment were covered by insurance. I did pay for the remainder of my deductible, which was very little at this point, and for genetic testing of my self, my husband, and the embryos out of pocket, totaling approximately $4000. The cost of the anesthesiologist was not covered by insurance as she was out of network, and that cost $750 for each egg retrieval.

Dr. Klein is particular to elective single embryo transfers for the safety of the mother and the fetus.

Dr Klein was sympathetic, caring, took his time explaining things, positive and optimistic about the entire process. I never felt rushed or like I was another number on his schedule. He made me feel confident in the process and was just very sweet overall. I trusted him with the process as well. He showed compassion when I had a miscarriage (without doing IVF as it just happened naturally without doing an IVF cycle). I always felt excited to see him because he was always positive and showed encouragement that everything will be fine and work out. He was never negative or quiet. He explained everything in detail and answered all my questions promptly and accurately. He is very knowledgeable and offered great recommendations towards which route to take to conceive.

Dr. Klein is very trustworthy and knows what he’s doing. You’re in good hands if you see him.

I remember him starting me low on clomid then slowly increasing the dosage. Same goes for all other medications as he was proceeding carefully.

Monitoring hours was a breeze. Sometimes the office would be very busy, but it was most efficient and worked well with my work schedule.

I don’t remember but it was covered through my insurance except for copays and certain deductibles.

Dr. Klein recommended a single embryo transfer due to my age being that I was categorized as high risk. He felt confident in that recommendation and I trusted him.

Dr. Klein was a wonderful physician. He listened to our concerns, and answered all our questions without being condescending or rushed. He gave us his email after our first appointment, and any time I emailed him with questions, he responded promptly. He was very kind and supportive of our decisions throughout our fertility journey.

Utilize his email. The process of infertility treatments can mess with your head, so use his email when you have questions or concerns about any aspect of what's going on.

Dr. Klein and his team are very concerned about success rates for people trying to conceive as well as doing it in the safest way possible. They follow the newest and best protocols from research (and some of the research they do themselves at RMA). He started us with IUI with Clomid and a trigger shot because my last fertility clinic only used OPK for IUI (obviously without success). After 2 of those, he was willing to do 1-2 more, but we were ready for IVF. He was supportive of this.

Monitoring hours were quick and efficient, even when there were 30 people in the waiting room.

Our insurance does not cover IUI or IVF, so it would have been close to $20,000 (including medications), but military personnel get a discount, so the cost was lower.

He does not support doing multiple embryo transfers because of the risk of multiple gestation. This may not be the case for people with low quality embryos, but when we discussed it, he flat out said no. Only one embryo at a time.

He responds to emails within minutes, he’s aware of how we’re feeling and what’s important, and he’s very bright and knowledgeable. I trust him entirely with our care, and I believe our best interests are what’s most important to him.

Expect efficiency. It may seems like he’s rushing at times, but if you have questions and concerns, he’ll answer them thoroughly. If you think of something later, he’s very reachable.

My husband and I are currently waiting for my thyroid hormones to normalize before we begin our first cycle. I am unsure of what particular strategies and protocols are required, but I honestly trust his judgement while-heartedly. We will have to do the ICSI procedure due to medical necessity. Dr Klein’s people are in contact with our male fertility specialist, and this communication is so helpful so my husband and I don’t have to worry about being the messenger. Between our doctors, I know we’re in good hands.

Unsure of cost as our insurance covers these services.

We have not discussed this yet.

Dr Klein was very approachable and easy to talk to. He explained the IUI process in a simple manner and answered questions we had in lay terms, even though he knew I was a nurse and understood the process. He was easy to get in touch with via text or email.

Don't be afraid to ask any questions. He is very open to answering questions and doesn't make you feel dumb.

Dr Klein did my first two IUIs. He pretty much saw me as a professional favor to my OBGYN since I am a labor and delivery RN. He reviewed all my labs and diagnostics and did a phone consult. I took clomid 50mg, as I had been for the last two cycles, and I tracked my cycle with OPK and called him when I got a positive. We came in the next day for an IUI but after performing an ultrasound discovered that I had already ovulated. We did the IUI that day anyway but it was not successful. The next month he increased my clomid to 75mg and I was monitored by ultrasound until my follicles were the appropriate size. I received a trigger shot of ovidrel in his office and went to his office for an IUI the next morning. Unfortunately, this was also unsuccessful.

I received a bill for our second IUI but not the first. He did not take my insurance.

Jeffrey klein is a wonderful doctor with excellent bedside manner. He takes his time with every patient and never makes you feel like a number. I have yet to have success with a frozen embryo transfer at RMA but I do not believe it is Dr Kleins fault. He has talked me through every step and answers my emails 24/7(when does he sleep haha). Overall a wonderful doctor.

One piece of advice is have your questions ready. He is willing to answer everything truthfully and take the time to spend with you. If you dont have anything to ask dont expect him to sit with you for hours. However take advantage of emailing him. Sometimes I have forgotten to ask something and shoot him a quick email and he ALWAYS responds.

IVF with ICSI Follostim Menopur Ganirelix lupron and hcg dual trigger 10 days of shots and retrieved 23 eggs 8 made it to day 5,biopsied and sent for pgs/pgd testing. 5 came back normal not affected by cystic fibrosis or any chromosonal issues. First FET-failed Second FET-chemical pregnancy Starting second round of IVF now. Same protocol. Note: we had to freeze my eggs and fertilize them 3 months later due to sperm issues so we lost a good amount of eggs in that process.

It is first come first serve but they move very quickly. Monitoring hours are from 7:30-9:30 and between 8:30-9:30 it is slow and you walk in and out.

Biopsy fees are $2000 out of pocket. PGS and PGD is all out of pocket and done through an outside lab. We payed over $10,000! Insurance covers my ivf but only until a certain amount.

My dr will only transfer more than 1 embryo if you are over 35 years old or have had multiple misscarriages and not tested your embryos. Inoriginally wanted to transfer 2 but he took the time to discuss all the risks involved and it all made a lot of sense.

I had a mixed experience. I was a patient of Stangel (whom i did 4 IUI’s and 1 IVF resulting in 1 love birth and 1 vanishing twin) whom retired, so I was given to Klein as a result. I liked him but i felt different than I felt with Stangel. He was great with email and when I asked him to do my IUI with injections he didn’t want to but after convincing him that I knew the risks, he did it and that gave me my second son 😊

Know your body and what you need.

We did an ivf with PGD after my last two FETs resulted in miscarriages. I was told that I started to ovulate early and they only got 9 eggs, 2 worth while. They transferred an AA grade embryo and it failed they think due to ashermans. I was angry that he didn’t have me repeat an HSG beforehand so I had one afterword and they saw the scar tissue. I asked him to do an IUI because I had extra injectables and he reluctantly did it with my next hysteroscopy scheduled and it actually worked resulting in my second son.

First come first serve and because I had to be at work early I would arrive 45 minutes early to secure my #1 spot on line.

It was over $15K for ivf with PGD

No. I wish I had transferred them both.

I like the Dr. Klein is so easy to reach. He always answers my emails right away, and I feel like he knows who I am as a patient of his. Not just someone whose chart he has to check before each visit. On the rare ocassion I had to see another doctor, Dr. Klein always called me himself to check up on me, go over results.

Don't be embarrassed to ask questions, because he is always willing to answer and explain.

Formy two IUI cycles I used 100mg of clomid on days 2-6 with the IUI on day 14. Neither resulted in pregnancy, but we have male factor infertility so we almost expected they wouldn't. For my IVF cycle I did an antagonist protocol with 225 of Gonal-f and starting with 150 of menopur all the way up to 300 of menopur for 8 days. The last 3 days I added .25 of cetrotide. I did a double Lupron and HCG trigger shot on day 9 and had my egg retrieval on day 11. They retrieved 10 eggs, 7 of which fertilized with ICSI. I am scheduled for a fresh transfer on day 16.

My IVF was covered by insurance but there was a $1500 co-payment, $750 for the anesthesia and then the medicines had various co-payments. Almost all of them were covered and the ones that weren't didn't exceed $150. I didn't pay a co-payment per visit each time I saw the doctor. I had a a few small ($20 maybe) fees for blood work when I began all of my testing.

I appreciated Dr. Klein and his honesty with my diagnosis and its relation to my chances of natural conception. He kept me informed, and was often available by email outside of business hours if questions were to arise. Although I understand he is a top rated doctor in this field, he was not the appropriate provider for me; my issues were more challenging and I do not feel that he was able to exercise any creative approaches to my care, as my subsequent doctor had done. Dr. Klein was very kind and compassionate, and a true professional.

Ask him questions, and challenge his responses if you are unhappy with them.

We had 3 unsuccessful IUI cycles. We were preparing for IVF, but my insurance changed and the new insurance would not cover the procedure.

I do not recall. Most, if not all, of my treatment was covered by insurance.

N/A

He has a warm bedside manner. Explains all of the pros and cons realistically. Conscious of my anxiety with procedures and tried to make them as comfortable as they could be. Made time when he could, but had a lot of patients so there was only so much time.

There will be a litany of tests and schedule any conversations ahead of time and not during the prime morning hours if you can help it. He will tell you everything including things you may not want to hear.

For the most part there was a line since we're in a metro area. They were pretty quick with the bloodwork. They would tell us ahead of time to make sure we got in early, but traffic to get there was a factor as well - so it was a domino affect. They wouldn't be able to control how many people would come in everyday. Sometimes it was smooth sailing.

Initial impression was good. Over the course of several treatments, failed cycles and two attempts he became more distant. Second pregnancy I was made to feel as though I was more of an inconvenience than a patient. As if I were greedy wanting to try to have a second child.

Expect good results but not a lot of hand holding and warm cozy feelings. They run a very efficient factory with high ratings but not touchy-feely.

First cycle was just IUI, second used ovidrel and IUI, third was Clomid, Ovidril and IUI (I had severe reaction to Clomid), 4th was injectable with Ovidril and IUI (result ectopic). Last was injections, egg retrieval, IVF, 3 embryo transfer resulting in 1live birth, 1 embryo frozen. 1 year later, embryo transfer resulting in 1live birth.

Usually convenient. I was there at odd hours but could be forced to wait, especially my second experience, almost as a vendetta even if I was the first patient there.

~15k

I interviewed one other doctor and much preferred Dr. Klein. Convenience was a factor but I also prefered Dr. Klein's manner. He did not recommend medication for me (at age 36) and the other doctor did. I got pregnant on my first try, with two back to back IUI's. I didn't love that when I talked about tracking my fertility he called that the "loosy goosy method." I actually found ovulation predictor kits ineffective but have a good sense of when I'm ovulating, so didn't need them. I also was on thyroid medication and dropped off my blood test results with him, expecting that he would manage that, but I got the feeling that he never looked at them, and was told by the receptionist that he wouldn't. That's fine. I found another endocrinologist to manage that during my pregnancy, but would have felt much safer being told that right away. I didn't know what questions to ask. I still recommend him, but recommend that you make sure to ask if there are any concerns so you know what is in his domain and what isn't. All in all, I got what I went there for and ended up very happy. Oh- inseminations had to be performed in the city but I was able to have all the testing done in White Plains.

Just talk to them about privacy if that's a concern for you, and ask questions about any medical concerns so you know if you need to see another specialist as well.

Simple IUI, back to back. I had to get them paperwork in order to have the sperm sent there. I had a blood test to check my FSH levels. Then I went in when I suspected that I was ovulating and had an ultra sound. He recomended a trigger shot just to make sure that the egg would be released at the right time, being that all the inseminations only happened in the mornings. He didn't go over whether this carried any risk and I didn't ask. He did not recommend any medication and I didn't need any. Inseminations were fine, doctors were nice and wished me luck. After the inseminations I was asked to come in for a blood test, maybe in two weeks to determine pregnancy. I got the call later that day and asked how strong the numbers were (someone who had been through fertility treatments told me to ask). She told me what range was good and what mine were. She told me to come back in a few days later for another blood test to see if the numbers doubled. Then at 6 weeks maybe, I went in to hear the heart beat. Soon after he referred me to an OB practice and wished me well.

I think my insurance covered everything but the sperm.

At times it was almost like he was going through the motions, giving a speech he has given many many times before, but because I had done my independent research, I was able to follow along and understood terms he mentioned. I was also able to have conversations with him and not feel belittled. Might have felt differently if I didn't already come to the table with knowledge of what to expect.

Do your research ahead of time.

Since my lab results showed a patient with typical/almost standard numbers, he began a regular treatment strategy, although I told him about my concern of having a late luteal phase. On my 3rd cycle of IUI, he finally listened to my concerns and adjusted based on what I told him, which resulted in me getting pregnant.

The majority of it was covered by my insurance. I had a little out of pocket expenses

I didn't do IVF, so not relevant in my situation.

Dr Klein was very open with us from the first meeting. He explained everything very clearly to us and answered all questions and concerns we had. He performed my transfer and made me feel very comfortable during it. He always returned my calls and e-mails in a timely manner.

Trust what he tells you!

We were told at our first consultant that the clinic only done single embryo transfer. If that was something we didn't like, we could leave after the consultation and never return.

He was very honest and clear. He is very accessible via email, always responding promptly. He takes the time to speak and explain things whenever he calls with information. He is always open to answering questions.

Ask questions because he will take the time to answer your concerns.

We did a frozen egg retrieval with ICSI and genetic testing.

It worked pretty well, I usually didn’t wait over 15 mins.

We are a military family and received 25% off because none of our costs were covered by insurance. The cost for egg retrieval and first transfer was around $12,000. This doesn’t include medication costs.

Dr. Klein is by all accounts an excellent doctor (and I'm the daughter of a doctor, and I have two Ivy League degrees, so I'm a VERY well informed, picky patient!). His attention to detail and understanding of data/risks and medical care is top notch. In addition, he is incredibly caring and compassionate - a rare blend. He is highly practical, but knows when to be cautious, and is one of the best practitioners in the field. Anyone with fertility challenges is lucky to be his patient, and my 9-week old embryo and I will be sad to leave!

Dr. Klein was amazing. He was very realistic with us about our chances and was still willing to help us. He was very responsive on email and in visits. He gives a frank assessment of your situation and was a welcome relief from doctors who gave us the runaround.

Email him - he's very responsive. If you're not a fan of the blunt reality of your situation, he's not your guy.

The most important change Dr. Klein used was only utilizing day 5 transfers for our embryos. Our prior clinic used day 3 transfers and they were not successful. He also allowed us to transfer multiple embryos each time, which greatly improved our odds of success.

More than $20,000 per cycle.

Dr. Klein was almost malicious to me during a post-surgery complication. He was not my doctor but due to timing ended up being the person who did my retrieval. I left the surgery with no pain medication, called that afternoon received no help, and when I called again that night he yelled at me for calling the answering service and bother him (it was only 10pm) and sent me to the ER rather than help me by ordering a simple pain medication. Even my normal doctor at RMA was horrified.

I did not have a good experience with him and if I had it to do over I would not go to RMA if it meant he would be the one to do my procedure. For elective surgeries that can't be totally planned timing-wise I'd want to be comfortable with every doctor in the practice.

He was great especially on email he would get right back to us. Office is very busy but assume that is the case with all clinics.

Email him any questions or concerns and also meet with him not during the morning rush to discuss treatment plans. We met with him each cycle and he spent an hour with us each time once on a Friday night he stayed extra late to answer all of our questions and we closed the office with him. He always called us to answer questions after we were upset with the results of a cycle during his family vacation and you could hear the kids in the background. He really tried to be available and you could tell.

Was pretty quick and first come first serve so i tried to get there early since I had a long commute to the city after my appt

20k

He always answers my emails but sometimes doesn’t answer the question directly .. I felt he didn’t take my care very seriously bc I didn’t do ivf .. he was just laid back with my iuis and wanted me to start ivf but without giving enough chances to iuis .. care wasn’t always clear and he didn’t believe in supplementing with progesterone or estrogen ..

Stay on top of your care

Letrozole 7:5mg for 5 days with trigger shot and one ultrasoundb

700 for iui cycle

Very straight forward, blunt and honest with his responses. I could always email him day or night and even when he was away on vacation and I was qetting prompt responses. No questions are off limit.

Definitely not sugarcoating, so if you looking for someone who tells you want to you want to hear he is not a guy for you. Straight forward facts.

Antagonist protocol each time more aggressive. 3 RD round was antagonist but added clomid

Very efficient, quick, but informative. The supporting staff always very pleasant and gentle with bloodwork.

Besides the insurance coverage. Out of pocket was around 5K which included copay, freezing and starve fees, anesthesia for retrieval and genetic testing of an embryo and IVF meds

One embryo transfer only. I tried to push for multiple. Unsuccessful

Dr. Klein is very thorough and honest. He is extremely accessible and always answers emails promptly and is great at addressing our numerous concerns and questions. While we have not gotten pregnant yet, we trust that Dr. Klein is doing what is best for us and our future family to get us where we want to be.

Ask questions, he is more than willing to answer any and all questions you may have.

We did a frozen egg retrieval with ICSI and genetic screening. We transferred a single embryo during our first 2 transfers.

You can show up in the morning for monitoring hours and are seen first come first served.

We received a 25% discount because we are a military family and fertility treatments are not covered. Our cost for egg retrieval and our first transfer was around $12,000

Dr. Klein is very compassionate and understanding. He is through his job and explains procedures in detail. He is passionate about his field and helping a patient achieve their goal to become pregnant. I had the pleasure of working with him through this journey of infertility. I recommended him to my friends who did achieve pregnancy and now I’m next to try IVF after failed IUIs. Dr. Klein you’re a fantastic doctor! Keep up the good work and remaining human with your patients. It goes along way! Thank you.

You will be in good hands with Dr.Klein! If you’re looking for a specialist that will address your concerns, fears and cheer on your success Dr. Klein is the right doctor!

Dr. Klein was very honest from the beginning advising that the best course of treatment would be IVF but due to financial hardship we had to try IUI first.

I had to pay my copays. IVF isn’t covered by my insurance.
