I saw dr scott only once. I scheduled phone calls though and those calls happened on time and as expected. he had plenty of time for talk and always called in a quiet place with availability to chat. I never felt like he rushed me. he talked to me in a respectful manner quoting stats so I could easily understand them...always very kind, but gave information readily. my questions and concerns were always handles with dignity and respect
I found rmanj to be very good at what they do. the billing team, the nursing staff and all the misc clinicians were friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. the basking ridge location is beautiful, though in the middle of nowhere!...I loved working with [nurse] mary ellen. I hated always having to leave a message and wait for a call back but, her VM always stated her working hours and when to exect a call back. the call backs always came the same day although at times it was frustrating to wait for the calls. mary ellen is extremely knowledgable and compassionate. there was nothing I could ask her or tell her

Brace yourself for honesty. He [Dr. Richard Scott] is a good doctor and will explain in a way you can understand as much as you want to know about your diagnosis and treatment, but he also won't sugarcoat. Ultimately, though, it was his brilliant mind and his resolve to stay on the cutting edge of the field that turned over that last stone that got me pregnant with 2 healthy girls,
Adrienne [nurse at RMA of New Jersey] is the total package - meticulous, patient, compassionate. She is rooting for you. I honestly don't know how I would have survived this last leg of my ivf journey without her....A few times, when a different nurse called me, she gave inaccurate medication instructions. It was only because of my own deep understanding of my care that I was able to avoid major problems as a result (i.e. I was able to tell her what my instructions ought to be and she looked up my chart and confirmed).
How was your experience with Richard Scott at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
He is absolutely brilliant, but I think at this point he would rather her focus on research and making strides in the field rather than working with individual patients. He was at some points dismissive of my concerns, which led him to overlook something major. In the end, I was right, and it cost us a failed FET with some very expensive embryos.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Richard Scott at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Dr. Scott was simultaneously candid but also very warm when I first consulted with him in 2014, and the desk often tried to schedule my procedures with him if possible. After I became pregnant and suffered a late-term loss, I returned to his care in 2015, and he had changed. He seemed disinterested in continuing to see patients and exasperated with my placing demands on his time for scheduled follow-up consultations.
Describe the protocols Richard Scott used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
We did high-stim ivf micro-flare protocols with human growth hormone. They were freeze-all cycles wherein we tested the embryos and followed with FETs of euploid blastocysts.

Success w/ Doc Not sure
[Dr.] Richard Scott is incredibly knowledgeable, and always took to the time to explain everything to me. He clearly cares both about his patients and about their success...Just understand that he won't be the only person working with you. Your point person will be a nurse; and other doctors could be the ones performing the procedures. But he oversees your case completely, and knows what he's doing...he changed what was not working from my previous clinic, and was able to lead me to successful pregnancies twice.
RMANJ is very large, and this bothers some people. I had no trouble with it, especially with the help of my nurse coordinator. The doctors are all top notch, and I found every one of them (whether doing consultations, ultrasounds, retrievals, or transfers) to be compassionate and wonderful...
How was your experience with Richard Scott at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
Richard Scott is incredibly intelligent, and cares very deeply for the work that he does. He understands that he is working with human beings, and that each case is unique. He was always willing to answer any questions that we had.

Describe the protocols Richard Scott used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
Honestly, it was years ago, and I've put it out of my mind. I can tell you that he changed what was not working from my previous clinic, and was able to lead me to successful pregnancies twice. He looks at the specifics of YOUR case. My meds and protocol won't be the same as yours, because we are different people will different issues, who react differently to different medications.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (Assigned nurse: Adrienne Kramer)
The nurse is your point person. Any question you have, she/he is available for you. My nurse was incredibly helpful during the processes, and having her available was invaluable.
Describe your experience with RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
They have one of the best labs in the country. For me, this was essential. I had plenty of eggs retrieved, but they were very poor quality, and the ability of the lab to cultivate them to day 5 was essential. RMANJ is very large, and this bothers some people. I had no trouble with it, especially with the help of my nurse coordinator. The doctors are all top notch, and I found every one of them (whether doing consultations, ultrasounds, retrievals, or transfers) to be compassionate and wonderful.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Richard Scott at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Most of it was covered by insurance, but if I didn't have insurance it would have been around $20,000.
Describe Richard Scott's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
Because of my low quality eggs, I only had 1 embryo to transfer my 1st round with Dr. Scott. My second round, I had 2 remaining, and as it was likely our last shot at it, we decided to transfer both. Dr. Scott was supportive. Only one survived, and I now have 2 beautiful sons.

Dr. Scott was a small part of a large team of doctors and nurses in this office. I met with him at the beginning of this process and my communication was most directly with my assigned nurse who I spoke with almost daily. I was a seasoned IVF patient at the point I moved to RMA, and went to the office because of their success rate...Trust in his experience...
[RMA - Morristown is] Busy... several locations... the lab tech werewonderful and very compassionate... office was organized...This is a walk in sign in kinda place.

Callbacks werecompleted daily.. questions were answered daily.. and concerns were forwarded to the attending doctor or your primary doctor. My. Ursewas wonderful...
