How was your experience with Peter Schlegel at Weill Cornell Medical College?
Dr. Schlegel is a highly regarded male factor infertility specialist who pioneered micro-TESE. I felt he was incredibly knowledgeable and humble despite having patients who travel to see him worldwide.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Peter Schlegel at Weill Cornell Medical College?
Dr. Schlegel's opinions regarding male factor infertility and co-management with IVF will cost a pretty penny, but it is worth it considering he is one of the few experts in the field. I felt he genuinely cared for us and our situation and only would only do what was medically necessary (not out to take our money).

Describe the protocols Peter Schlegel used in your cycles at Weill Cornell Medical College and their degree of success.
Dr. Schlegel can schedule a phone consultation and review records/labs regarding male factor infertility regardless of continuing treatment with him.
We were traveling for our treatment and first met him for a pre-op examination and final consultation. Dr. Schlegel was to perform a micro-TESE timed with an antagonist protocol IVF cycle with WCMC. Our TESE was actually cancelled because they found sperm on our operative day. Dr. Schlegel's office was probably more informative about the timing of the egg retrieval than the IVF staff. We have continued to stay in touch with him for additional consults after failed cycles and may see him again in the future should we decide to pursue TESE/IVF.
