Melissa Esposito

Dr. Espisito is very pleasant, but occasionally seems rushed.

She was extremely compassionate. Very willing to take the time to talk to me about all of my concerns. Allowed me to ask questions and didn’t make me feel stupid for any of the questions I asked

When my husband and I had our consult, we had just suffered our third miscarriage with no previous live births. Achieving our dream of building a family together seemed so hopeless. We had been trying for over 2 years. Dr. Esposito let me cry and explained how she could help us. She was so positive she could help us achieve our goal and explained the whole process to us including our options. I left that appointment with more hope than I expected and I felt like she was on our team, fighting beside us.

I would say I got treated more like a human until after my first & only live birth. Then I felt more like a number after that cuz it was the same protocols time after time & results were similar unfortunately.

She is warm and kind. She makes direct eye contact and doesn't interrupt when you're talking. She is very willing to give more or less detail based on your feedback. She never seems like she's in a hurry.

Dr. Esposito cared deeply about our desire to be parents. She was patient through the process of explaining everything to us even if she had to repeat herself. She was very empathetic and was supportive of the way we wanted to go about treatment.

She treated me good, she Is very busy and hard to get to talk to but great bed side manner

Dr Esposito always took time to talk to me after our appointments, she wouldn't just rush out. She always remembered everything about us and would even stop and talk to us in the hallway. When I was in the room still for different procedures, she would run out to waiting room and let my husband know I was good. She was optimistic but honest about percentages and didn't sugar coat things. Also took time to explain anything we needed in great detail.

Dr. Esposito never took our infertility seriously. During my first time with her, she said, " You just need a little nudge." " It just takes longer in your 30's." I asked her about getting donor sperm b/c I knew there must be something wrong with my husband's sperm and she said, " It won't come to that." I told her about how the urologist told us that my husband's sperm has been attacked by his antibodies and Dr. Esposito said that the Dr. she trained with didn't believe in the antibodies attacking the sperm. So she was implying she didn't believe in it either. I asked her what my husband could take to help his sperm and she said, " Clomid." I thought that was really weird. After I broke away from Dr. Esposito and went to Dr. Bromer, I asked him the same question and he answered it quite differently. He said my husband should take a supplement with L-Carnitine in it. Dr. Esposito never told me about Letrozole. She only told me I could take Clomid to mature more eggs for the IUI. Dr. Bromer told me that Letrozole would be a good choice for me to mature more eggs for IUI. For my first IUI with Dr. Esposito, she didn't order a blood test to check my hormones. She only wanted to go by what the transvaginal ultrasound showed. So the ultrasound make it look like the right day was day 11, but my body was not ready then. I even had old brown chunks of blood come out that day. When I had IUI's with Dr. Bromer, he always ordered a blood test and those tests showed that the right day in my cycle was the 13th day. Dr. Esposito didn't tell me that my husband should lose weight to help the sperm. My husband's sperm back then ( 2014) had a motility of 1+/2 which is below normal. In 2015, my husband started exercising and lost about 20 lbs. After that, the motility gradually increased until it was 2+/3 at the best. Dr. Esposito should have made a big deal about the motility. It is important with IUI. Dr. Esposito never mentioned that there could be a problem with my husband's sperm binding with my eggs and penetrating them. When I saw Dr. Bromer, he told me there was likely a problem with my husband's sperm being able to bind with and penetrate my eggs.

She took the time to give me her honest opinion on my situation and made personal phone calls to calm my nerves

Dr. Esposito made a personal connection with both me and my husband. She made us feel comfortable. And answered every question we had.

I felt like a human because they understand how difficult this process has been for us and they always trying to help you.

She often ran very late and was cold and artificial

She took the time to explain everything in detail unlike my previous fertility clinic Dr. Filer

I switched to Dr. Esposito after not receiving the care and compassion from another doctor in the clinic. On my first consultation with her, I felt heard, seen and validated. I cried with relief because I had felt so tired of having to advocate so hard for myself and with her, I felt like I finally had someone in my corner. She thoroughly reviewed my chart and didn’t dismiss a single question (and there were many). I had a severe complication from my egg retrieval (completed by a different doctor), she called me TWICE a day in the hospital to check on me. She made sure she was the one who performed my transfer and tailored my transfer protocol to our situation. When our first transfer was successful, she performed almost every ultrasound knowing how anxious I was due to our recurrent losses. I could not have asked for a better doctor and i’m so grateful to her.
