He’s [Dr. Essig] very warm and capable. He’s knowledgeable in his field and doesn’t drive from a place of fear and or panic. He’s very calm but calculating. He’s also likely to test twice to be certain rather than move you along...He’s helped me through a lot of health concerns and has always been easy to talk to. He seemed concerned about how my decisions would effect my emotional health and has provided helpful information regarding pros and cons...
[Midtown Reproductive Medicine] Quick, on time appointments, warm atmosphere. This office is older, but is clean. I recommend calling back and possibly setting up an appointment to go over important test results. Don’t aim to do this over a call, unless the doctor has agreed to do it this way...They [nurses] are surprisingly warm, but sometimes in a rush. Don’t hesitate to call back, and try to be thorough on the initial pick up. They may need more information from the doctor to accurately assist you...

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Midtown Reproductive Medicine (closed).
Nothing went terribly wrong. I called to set up an appointment and there was something wrong with the computer. I was told to call back the following week, resulting in missing one cycle. I wasn’t fully aware of timing of next steps and so I didn’t press harder to set that appointment. I wish it had been smoother
