Dr. Maguire's demeanor was very warm, gentle, kind, and welcoming. During our initial consult she reviewed all possible courses of treatment for me to consider and also explained any tests or procedures that would come before beginning actual treatment. Her manner of speaking was not demeaning - in fact she even asked how much I already knew of reproductive assistance so she could adjust her explanations accordingly. During the morning monitoring appointments she was the attending doctor, she always remembered exactly where I was in the cycle and showed genuine excitement and care leading up to my last appointment.
RMA is a huge practice and was described to me as "an assembly line". It definitely feels like there are standard menus of treatment plans based on the patients' diagnoses and some patients may not like being lumped together with others. That being said, my care team was quick to alter the more standard plan to better fit my individual situation. This is also RMA's biggest strength - they know what works and what doesn't.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
You'll be communicating with your nurse more than the doctor, but the times you do see Dr. Maguire - don't be afraid to be honest about any concerns or questions. She is very attentive and will take the time to explain with care.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
RMA is a very large practice where they definitely seemed to have a number of protocols that most patients fell into. That being said, reviewing my treatment plan with Dr. Maguire and my nurse felt personal and they both took time to explain everything clearly and were quick to answer my questions with great detail.
Describe the protocols Marcy Maguire used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
Preliminary testing included blood labs and a baseline ultrasound. After finding what were believed to be polyps, Dr. Maguire ordered a saline sonogram and HSG. After confirming there were polyps and a fibroid (no myectomy needed), she then ordered a hysteroscopy and polypectomy. For the actual IUI treatment, Dr. Maguire prescribed a 5-day course of letrozole. Due to a lack of satisfactory response to the first course, she then prescribed a second 5-day course of letrozole with daily follicle monitoring. Once two follicles reached 18mm at least, I then took the trigger shot Ovidrel and 36 hours later had an IUI.
How competent was Marcy Maguire at LGBTQ+ care?
Dr. Maguire didn't bat an eye when I explained why I was seeking care at RMA as an LGBTQ+ individual. She immediately detailed the numerous resources available at RMA that I could, and did, take advantage of over the course of my treatment.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Alexis)
Alexis was my primary nurse and primary channel of communication. I often asked questions through the clinic's portal and within a couple of hours, she would follow up with both a message and a phone call to address the question and discuss any potential changes to treatment. Over all, she was simply awesome and made navigating treatment a breeze.

That being said, my care team was quick to alter the more standard plan to better fit my individual situation. This is also RMA's biggest strength - they know what works and what doesn't. New patients should be prepared to be told that for their situation, RMA will typically do A, B, C, etc. It can be overwhelming to have the next few months of your life planned and dumped in front of you. New patients should also be prepared to advocate for themselves if they believe their treatment plan is not customized enough for them.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
The entire course of treatment was covered by insurance. Office visits including ultrasounds and IUI had a $10 copay. Bloodwork was completely covered. There were no copays for the surgical center.
Dr. Maguire has been a game changer during this process. She’s kind and gentle but professional and informative. She calls me personally and always starts with a personal question (how was my weekend, how’s my husband doing, etc). I couldn’t be happier with her...is completely trustworthy in her explanations and changes to treatment plans...She will respond to emails...My first cycle was an antagonist protocol. It was unsuccessful. We changed to a microburst protocol for the second retrieval to allow for better quality eggs and that’s exactly what we got. She also recommended adding a specific folate supplement during the second ER.
The wait time and experience [during monitoring at RMA] varied, depending on the day. Some days, it was quiet and all moved quickly. On days when they were short staffed or there was a large crowd, it went more slowly...Because of the size of the practice, you may not see your reproductive endocrinologist for morning monitoring or have them during your procedures. There is a schedule on their website that outlines what doctor is on what day. It all depends on your timing.

I can covered by insurance. My OPCs are related to acupuncture, medication copays, embryo genetic testing, cryopreservation
Describe Marcy Maguire's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
As someone who's likes to know every aspect of my treatment, Dr. Maguire patiently dealt with a number of questions and erred on the side of detail. Our cycle timed with holidays and the doctor even called us back on an important holiday while spending precious time with her family. We could cite numerous such examples where she went above and beyond to address our anxiety and make us feel comfortable about the entire process.
[the nurse] was compassionate, prompt, proactive and always available to address any of our questions/ concerns...RMA only offers single embryo transfer. And the pros and cons explained to us about single embryo transfer aligned well with our needs...Everything is tightly controlled and well managed. Their schedules aligned well to our work schedules. One thing we wish for is that they had alt options to Basking Ridge facility for holidays and weekends.
How was your experience with Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
"It may be my millionth, but I always remember that it's your first", those were Dr. Maguire's words when we thanked her for being patient with our questions. That line pretty much sums up her attitude and approach. While the process is emotional and painful at times, we have Dr. Maguire to thank for always staying informed. She was always there for us through the procedures and was happy to tweak the treatment plan to our preferences and schedule.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Don't ever shy away from having candid conversations about concerns, fears or familial goals with Dr. Maguire
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
We moved to Dr. Maguire after consulting another doc at RMA, where we were made to feel like a number. Feedback on Dr. Maguire was completely the opposite and she lived up to it from the very first interaction.

RMA is a well oiled machine, great facilities and not a lot goes wrong in their coordination. Everything is tightly controlled and well managed. Their schedules aligned well to our work schedules.

RMA only offers single embryo transfer. And the pros and cons Dr. Maguire explained to us about single embryo transfer aligned well with our needs.
She [Dr. Maguire] seemed caring and she always discussed her plan in terms of research. She tried to provide honest recommendations based on my situation. She doesn't really take a holistic approach. There was some information that she could have provided earlier in the process that could have helped my outcome.... While she was good about explaining the diagnostic process and my diagnosis she did not really explain why she used the protocol and what she was trying to accomplish with each drug.
The clinic [RMA of NJ] functions like a well oiled machine in terms of the process. Completing the diagnostic test, egg retrieval and transfer.... There isn't a holistic approach. They do not ask about supplements and so I don't know if taking or not taking supplements impacted by results. They did not give me enough time to search for an affordable pharmacy which meant I used a recommended pharmacy. Glen Rock pharmacy is not managed well and not professional and and it caused a lot of added stress

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Research and ask question. Ask why she is choosing some drugs over others.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
She seemed to care about my situation and outcome. She followed-up a couple of times after the cycle failed. There doesn't seem like there is a lot of customization of protocols. Its not really a holistic approach to fertility treatment.
Describe the protocols Marcy Maguire used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
High level of follistim, hCG and lupron. While she was good about explaining the diagnostic process and my diagnosis she did not really explain why she used the protocol and what she was trying to accomplish with each drug. I ended up with a lead follicle. Talking to others an reading articles, there may have been a better way to handle the lead follicle to allow other follicles to catch up.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Rachel)
She tried to follow-up in timely manner. I had quite a few questions as the cycle progressed and she answered them throughly and explained why she provided the answer. Sometimes the transfer of information did not go smoothly when she was out of the office and another nurse was in charge of my case.
Describe your experience with RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
The clinic's monitoring hours were convenient. The clinic functions like a well oiled machine in terms of the process. Completing the diagnostic test, egg retrieval and transfer. They assigned modules before the egg retrieval that would have been helpful to review while completing the diagnostic tests so that i had a better sense of what would happen next and that could have helped me figure out more questions to ask in regards to my care. There isn't a holistic approach. They do not ask about supplements and so I don't know if taking or not taking supplements impacted by results. They did not give me enough time to search for an affordable pharmacy which meant I used a recommended pharmacy. Glen Rock pharmacy is not managed well and not professional and and it caused a lot of added stress. In addition, I felt the same way about GeneScreen for genetic counseling. For a professional and renowned institution one would think they were have more professional partners/affiliations .
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
A times there were a lot of patients during monitoring hours. However, I always tried to arrive relatively early and I never had to wait too long. It was relatively close to my job so their hours in conjunction with my work hours worked well. On most days I did not have to wait long unless they were having staffing issues. However, West Orange does not have Saturday hours which is very inconvenient; all patients have to go to Basking Ridge and the wait is a little longer because everyone who goes to their other clinics are funneled to one facility.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
I do not recall; it was a lot.

What specific things went wrong at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Failed to call in prescriptions to pharmacy
Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
The person who called my prescription to the pharmacy did not use my doctor's name and it caused confusion with the follistim discount. There was a slight communication breakdown at times when my nurse was out of the office.
Dr. Maguire is kind, patient, and will spend the time talking out all the different recommendations. She shows compassion and hasn’t given up on me...The doctors also do not believe in reproductive immunology...Dr Maguire’s bedside manner is kind and patient...High levels of stims to get the most eggs (said I needed it even though I was 31). When asked about it affecting quality of eggs she does not think so, other doctors may disagree.
Very nice staff [at RMA] overall, efficient check in process and morning monitoring that’s long enough to get to before work. Facilities are clean and all of the doctors are made up to speed on your records before meeting with you. It could feel factory like from time to time due to the size especially when visiting the basking ridge nj office. Overall it’s a good experience and really organized... morning monitoring hours.
How was your experience with Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Dr. Maguire is kind, patient, and will spend the time talking out all the different recommendations. She shows compassion and hasn’t given up on me. When I first started I was deemed a really easy case and got pregnant the first round but it ended in a missed miscarriage just before the first trimester was about to end and it was with a chromosomally normal embryo. I then went on to have a failed transfer and then an ectopic (which no one ever explained was possible through IVF). The doctors also do not believe in reproductive immunology.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Ask for all prospective outcomes even if you CCS test an embryo know that it doesn’t guarantee a pregnancy and won’t aid against a miscarriage.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?

High levels of stims to get the most eggs (said I needed it even though I was 31). When asked about it affecting quality of eggs she does not think so, other doctors may disagree.
Transfer protocol is pretty typical estradiol and progesterone. Ask about a natural transfer. All of mine have been medicated and just found out I didn’t necessarily need that.
Hysteroscopy should be done for all patients not just saline sonogram. All testing for blood clotting disorders and other auto immune tests should be done before first transfer not after a failure or miscarriage.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Beth Harley)
My nurse support changed midway through my treatment. My support has been pretty good with the exception of some confusion once they had a new urologist start with them and had some issues with coordinating with this new doctor for my husband. Some tests slipped through the cracks but overall I have been well supported.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
With the onboarding of a new urologist there were some hiccups when my husband began being treated with them. From appointments to semen analysis to scheduling next steps in a surgery. These appeared to be the results of just a new doctor and process merging into RMAs practice.
Dr. Maguire has made me feel comfortable since day one. My husband and I walked into our first appointment nervous and unsure of what to expect. [She] made us feel like we were a top priority and she showed nothing but compassion...She also never forgets to call and check in to see how I am doing, ask if I need a break from anything , or see if I just need to talk...She continues to value how I feel and I am confident she is going to create our miracle baby.
I have been to multiple locations [of RMA New Jersey] for either morning monitoring, an IUI procedure, and egg retrieval/embryo transfer. Every location thus far has great staff, is organized, and is always friendly...Alexis [a nurse] has always been available if I ever need to talk. If I send her a message in the portal asking if she can call me, she does within 30 minutes. She is also on top of ensuring what my next steps are in a cycle and explaining things well...The morning monitoring in Eatontown is quick and the providers are efficient.

I can't think of any weaknesses!
Dr. Maguire is the best doctor I have ever met. She saw something on my Fallopian tube and recommended removal before trying to have a baby. Her judgment was spot on- and her surgical skills remarkable. I had no pain from the surgery at all. She then made the process of having a healthy baby as an older mother smooth and seamless..
[my RMA of NJ nurse] was super organized and told me everything I needed to know and do...[monitoring appointments were very seamless. I went In before work and was out by 7 am...Strengths are the early morning hours. I was able to go before work each time so I didn’t have to take any days off of work. I also liked the privacy of the Clinic, they always covered your name when other people came so everyone could keep their activities private.

How was your experience with Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Dr Maguire is one of the kindness and most empathetic doctors I’ve ever come across. Not only was she helpful and supportive throughout my difficult journey, but she felt like a friend. She was always in my corner cheering me on with constant hopefulness and positivity. Even when things looked really grim for me and I didn’t think there was a chance I could actually ah e a baby she supported my decisions to keep going to try alternate things to achieve a pregnancy since I had done so much research on my own to improve my egg quality. Honestly I fully believe that if it weren’t for her I would not have my miracle son and I wouldn’t be trying for my second baby, this time with a gestational carrier due to being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I even credit Dr Maguire with finding my tumor after my pregnancy and saving my life. I am completely indebted to her for so many reasons and I absolutely love her! I highly recommended Dr Maguire, she is the best!

Describe your experience with RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
RMA is a huge place and it feels a little like a fertility factory but every doctor I’ve ever come in contact with has been nothing but kind and compassionate (and I’ve seen many over the years). I liked going to west orange office because it is smaller but I feel like I was at the Basking Ridge office a lot for morning monitoring blood work or for certain procedures and the wait was usually always long but they do try to get you out of there as quickly as possible and are efficient.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
My insurance covered egg retrievals and medication and transferred but I did pay out of pocket about $15k
Dr Maguire made this process so much easier for me. I had so much faith in her as a Dr and I fully trusted her. She always had a smile on her face and answered all of our questions. She was great and I will be going back for her to do my next transfer after this pregnancy...I did not feel comfortable jumping to IVF yet so Dr Maguire gave me other options to try before we went down that route. I wish that I would have listened to her from the beginning!
Definitely try to be there early! Wait times [at RMA of NJ] can drag on Monday’s and Friday’s since it’s their busiest time. Lab techs are fantastic! Very quick and painless.

She had suggested IVF from the beginning after all my initial work up and bloodwork. I did not feel comfortable jumping to IVF yet so Dr Maguire gave me other options to try before we went down that route. I wish that I would have listened to her from the beginning!

Describe the specific things that went wrong at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
I called the after hours line one night with bleeding and the Dr I spoke to mentioned she would put in an order for bloodwork and ultrasound at basking ridge the next day since it was a Saturday. When I arrived, they could not find the order. Luckily it was resolved fairly quickly.

Just trust the process. You won’t get all the information up front - that’s intentional. Don’t google things or listen to TikTok. Everyone’s experience will be different.

The nurses and in-house phlebotomists always remembered me. Checked in on my progress and shared encouraging words. They were all kind. It was so nice to be able to laugh with the staff even on the hardest days.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Rachel, Chinue)
My first coordinator, Rachel, was a little all over the place and not great at communicating with me. When she went on leave, my new nurse, Chinue, was much better. She was really consistent in her communication which helped my anxiety.

Describe Marcy Maguire's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Office protocol at Dr MacGuires is to always do SET.
She [Dr. Marcy Maguire] prefers to do single transfer...She seemed calm and happy, well adjusted, and patient...She made eye contact, spoke clearly and honestly, and fielded our many questions with patience. She was upfront about success rates, which are low for us, and which were not explained to us when we did IUI and IVF in the other clinics we went to...Gonal-F, Ganirelix, Menopure. Then Ovidrell and Luprolide for trigger.
The clinic [RMA of New Jersey] has ample parking and is easy to get to. The office is organized. I did this during the coronavirus pandemic, and they revised their check-in protocols to accommodate new safety measures (a little later than I would have liked but I was being hyper careful weeks before it became mainstream). They remember who I am, and are friendly. The nurses were able to find my veins!!!...The hours were adjusted because of the coronavirus, so there was a longer window of time than normal, which allowed less congestion. For this reason I didn't have to wait long. Still one time I did have to wait over 20 minutes in the room, as the person monitoring me was on a patient call.

She prefers to do single transfer. I have read enough about the complications with multiple transfers and didn't question it.
From day 1 Dr. McGuire was thoughtful and up front. She has a warm manner but I never felt that she was saying things to make me feel better. I truly felt truly that we were in this together...She never made me feel like I was wasting any one's time. She listened openly. I would recommend her to anyone!!! I could not/would not do this w/o her. Every visit with her made me feel special and strengthened me...we developed a protocol and I am 8 weeks pregnant. Fingers crossed.
RMA of NJ has multiple sites near me, and their office hours were always convenient for my work schedule with early office hours.

this was not cheap
Describe Marcy Maguire's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Dr. Maguire is approachable and knowledgeable. She provided a broad overview of the course of treatment and reviewed more in depth as each step was approaching. She set realistic expectations and altered treatment based on how things were progressing and the ultimate results...Dr. Maguire adjusted my dosages and the days. Another doctor performed my egg retrieval...She recommended acupuncture to increase blood flow to the uterine area to increase our chances of a successful implantation. She will also be performing that procedure.
RMA is organized, efficient, and all staff are very friendly. They have an efficient system- blood work and scans from 6-8am and appointments in the afternoon. I would say the only downside is they do not have evening appointments...Nurse Abi was also responsive to my messages, provided thorough instructions, and answered all of my questions regarding any procedures/medications...Never felt rushed during an appointment.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
While Dr. Maguire sets realistic goals, the process is not perfect, so prepare for the unexpected, both good and bad.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Always very friendly and addressed every question or concern we had. Never felt rushed during an appointment.
Describe the protocols Marcy Maguire used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
We started by determining the likely reason for miscarriage, doing several diagnostics including HSG, genetic testing for myself & partner. She also started me on a thyroid medication as my levels were not ideal for pregnancy. Upon learning of my partners translocation, she provided options including IVF and IUI with a donor. We elected IVF. We began the process for egg retrieval. Based upon the ultrasounds & bloodwork, Dr. Maguire adjusted my dosages and the days. Another doctor performed my egg retrieval. We then had the embryos genetically tested. We ended up with only one viable embryo. As a result, Dr. Maguire is taking extra caution. She recommended acupuncture to increase blood flow to the uterine area to increase our chances of a successful implantation. She will also be performing that procedure. That is currently where we are at in the IVF process.

Describe your experience with RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
RMA is organized, efficient, and all staff are very friendly. They have an efficient system- blood work and scans from 6-8am and appointments in the afternoon. I would say the only downside is they do not have evening appointments, so you would need to accommodate your work schedule around that. If you have any weekend appointments, you would need to report to the Basking Ridge location as the West Orange location does not have weekend hours.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Monitoring appointments were general fast and easy. They had hours between 6 and 8 am -the closer you went to 8am, the more crowded it would be. The longest I every had to wait was about 15 mins.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marcy Maguire at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Unfortunately, IVF was not covered by our insurance. Currently out of pocket costs have been $16,000 for egg retrieval, $3,600 for the medications, and estimated $9,000 for the implantation but have not received a bill for that yet.
Describe Marcy Maguire's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
I am in agreement with Dr. Maguire doing one embryo transfer
Dr Maguire is thoughtful and always ready to answer any questions I had about the process...During treatment, I have sent emails with questions and she would call me the same day to answer them. She was not able to perform my egg retrievals, but performed my transfer. She is highly skilled and competent with procedures...First cycle involved antagonist protocol, which is commonly used initially. I required max dose meds as I was slow and poor to respond. Resulted in 1 PGS normal embryo Second cycle was micro dose lupron flare protocol, ideally for those with DOR, which resulted in more eggs, but no PGS normal embryo...
The staff, nurses, and doctors [RMA of NJ] are highly skilled and knowledgeable...They are very by the book and aren't really open to new or innovative treatments right off the bat though...You will feel like a number and especially during morning monitoring, you will feel that the staff are just there to get you in and out. It does make sense due to the number of patients they see...They only offer morning monitoring, but had numerous locations which was convenient when I had to go to monitoring before work...

I think RMA is the place for fertility treatment if you really want success. They are very by the book and aren't really open to new or innovative treatments right off the bat though.
