There are no weekend hours so it made me nervous when I had to wait until Monday to do a procedure. The Doctors and nurses are nice. The treatments/protocols just didn't work for us.

Dr. grossman was very nice. He was quick and thorough with getting eggs with retrieval, my retrieval was about 20 minutes long and wasn’t painful. During retrieval He got 20 eggs. He was humorous as well before the procedure, when I was nervous and a ball of stress.... I’m not sure of dr. Grossmans belief on single vs multiple embryo transfers. But I do know the cny approach is one embryo for a healthier and easier pregnancy.
I love how cny fertility cares for its patients and how the nurses really become invested in the journey with you.
