Robert Greene

Dr. Greene was the absolute best! Friendly, knowledgeable and very intelligent. He was good at explaining everything. He worked to make my body healthier ahead of time which was life changing. His kindness, friendliness and amazing sense of humor made the process so much easier to endure. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Greene. I highly recommend! You won’t regret!

Do whatever he recommends. He’s incredible at what he does and you won’t regret it!

Ivf cycles but due to poor egg quality he recommended donor eggs. We were successful on first donor cycle. In addition Dr, Greene worked in my overall health which was life changing.

Don’t remember.

Dr Greene recommended no more than two embryos transferred in case of multiple pregnancies and I agreed wholeheartedly!

Dr. Greene was very optimistic about our chances for success, our results were surprising to everyone - zero viable eggs retrieved. During our regroup, he was compassionate, caring and encouraged us to consider donor eggs. When asked what he would change about our protocol if we were to try again with our own eggs, his response was unclear.

Take his optimism with a grain of salt, ask about expected results and best/worst case scenarios. Push for details in changes to protocols if needed.

The antagonist protocol was used with birth control prior to the cycle. All my numbers looked good and it was thought that I would respond well. It produced no viable eggs.

Dr. Greene often seems distracted during our visits and burned out. It was really upsetting when he didn't even reach out after my miscarriage. When I ask him specific questions about my treatment or concerns he acts annoyed.

Be willing to advocate for yourself

We did a donor embryo transfer cycle with Dr. Greene which resulted in a miscarriage at 7 weeks. We did a modified natural cycle after having to cancel several cycles with Lupron. We also elected to use Omnitrope and intralipids which were optional add ons

We had to pay a $4,500 "donor embryo coordination fee" which was not billable to insurance. All of the fertility treatments are extremely overpriced

Dr. Greene has a preference for single embryo transfer

Dr. Greene is very compassionate, he explains everything in detail and backs up his information. Dr. Greene makes sure that all his patients questions have been answered before they leave the office. Dr. Greene made sure that my iui's and my ivf and frozen transfers that I was always comfortable. Dr. Greene definitely is a doctor that I trust and recommend to anyone.

Trust Dr. Greene he does an awesome job, he backs up his information and treats you like family.

We went to him in April, started the process in late May, and I'm currently 7w2d pregnant with my first. The nursing staff has been great and it's been as smooth of a process as this can be (knowing this is never a smooth process)

he recommended only transferring one because of risks with multiples and we listened

We adore Dr. Greene and are very grateful for his expert care! At each appointment with him, he spent a significant amount of time with us and we were never rushed. He came prepared with our results and a plan, and encouraged us to be active and informed decision makers in the plan. He explained everything thoroughly, and backed it with current research/evidence. Grounded in numbers and the science of it, he was very positive and optimistic for us, even during setbacks. It always felt like he truly believed we would be successful. We had 2 egg retrievals at age 41 with Drs. O’shaughnessy and Chiang with approximately 20 eggs retrieved. About 80% fertilized with ICSI, and then 3 embryos made it to Day 5 Blastocysts and were genetically normal. We had 2 FET cycles at age 42 with Dr. Greene. In our first FET cycle, we lost Embryo #1 during the thaw before we even got to transfer (very rare), but proceeded with Embryo #2 which resulted in a chemical pregnancy. And for our 2nd FET cycle with Embryo #3, we are currently 20 weeks pregnant and just had a great anatomy scan. Dr. Greene has navigated unexplained infertility, advanced maternal age, and autoimmune disorder (Crohn’s disease) with us.

Trust in the process and Dr. Greene’s knowledge/esperience/research, but also don’t be afraid to speak up and advocate for your care and your desired path!

We are grateful Dr. Greene didn’t chase every expensive, time consuming, and painful test and procedure (re: uterine environment) in our workup. He was confident in our selection of using the autoimmune protocol. We used a phospholipid infusion protocol pre and post transfer, along with hydroxychloroquine pre-transfer through our first trimester. We are currently 20 weeks pregnant with a normal anatomy scan!

Dr. Greene gets to know you as a person. He is very related. He is very knowledgeable and makes you feel like your apart of the decisions. Dr. Greene will do everything he can to help you become successful on your journey.

Don't be able to ask question. Dr. Greene will take the time to answer them and help you feel confident. You are still in charge of your journey.

My first cycle was monitored carefully. Dr. Greene had suspected PCOS but I never showed symptoms so it was hard to diagnose. As my retrieval grew closer Dr. Greene made the decision to move my retrieval up. I think this was a good idea as my eggs quality were decreasing each day. After my first transfer failed, Dr. Greene gave us ample options as to what to change this time and why. He told us his professional opinion but ultimately let us choose the path to go down.

We went through the BUNDL program

Dr. Greene was so knowledgable, he is very thorough and always answered all of my questions without hesitation. If I asked him something or for something and his answer was no, he provided me with concrete evidence as to why the answer is no. I often emailed him and asked for his opinion or advice on something and he got back to me very quickly

You're making the right choice. He is in my opinion the best doctor out there for infertility treatment.

My first egg retrieval left us with zero embryos due to poor egg quality. He was able to convince me to try again and changed my protocol to higher doses of stimulating medications and also primed me with estrogen and human growth hormone which was a total game changer. We walked away with three embryos, two euploid and I am currently pregnant.

I never asked to transfer two embryos. It was recommended that I transfer one and that is what we did.

Although I didn’t see him often, he was very warm and friendly. He kept me optimistic and positive. He also was sure to share information and make sure I understood my treatment. Dr. Greene was honest with treatment and what we should expect in our situation. I am very thankful that he kept it real, but still knew how to present the information in an appropriate manner.

Listen to what he has to say! He might not tell you what you want to hear, but he is giving you the appropriate information.

We went straight to IVF after the infertility diagnosis. My Fallopian tubes are occluded bilaterally and the only option for treatment was IVF. He explained that surgery could happen for me, but most insurance doesn’t cover it, I would have to wait to see if the surgery was even successful, and most women have to do IVF anyway. I did research and he was right. I don’t remember the exact protocols used, but during egg retrieval Dr. Greene monitored my follicle growth throughout and did have to make adjustments to my meds. This was successful as 19 follicles were retrieved. As for FET, we only had to transfer one embryo one time for a successful live birth.

It was extremely expensive, but it is expensive at any clinic. My IVF treatment including genetic testing was over $19,000 and the medication was around $7,000. I do wish the clinic was more helpful in “shopping” for medication vs using the expensive specialty pharmacies.

Dr. Greene explained the rationale for transferring a single embryo, but he still let us make that decision for ourselves. He presented us with facts and let us discuss what we felt was right for our family.

We had a protocol that was tailored to our circumstances. He shared his research and if he needed to know more about an issue, he would research it for himself to know what was best for us. Very knowledgeable and positive..He really tried to get to know and understand us as people and patient's.

For first timers, it may feel like you are waiting for "next steps" constantly, but the wait is worth getting your treatment specialized for you and what you need.

I would have to look this up to be specific.

I was covered through insurance.

He prefers to do a single but is willing to do multiple with good reasoning.

As a patient, fertility treatments and IVF can be very scary and out of control. Dr. Greene is incredibly well informed and educated on cutting edge fertility protocols and yet balances this knowledge with high compassion very skillfully. I always felt very valued, seen, and understood.

Don’t hesitate to ask any question you have along the way and never stop advocating for what you want.

I have been on many protocols for retrievals and transfers. I feel like we brought a couple of complexities to the table with some chromosomal challenges and my lower egg quality. Dr. Greene adjusted protocols to give us the best possible chance at achieving our dreams.

Costs are the hardest part about IVF no question about that. Nothing was covered under insurance which made it more stressful but we got through it
