Which was something everyone at RMA knew when we started our first cycle. Half way through or first failed cycle - when calling to let us know that no embryos made it - he also let us know he’d be leaving to start another clinic in Cali. We originally had decided on RMA because of a specific doctor. So I think it really depends on which nurse is assigned to you and whether you will have a more positive experience. Also, when I spoke with other nurses that covered for my nurse when she was off, I felt that they spent more time with me on the phone, I didn't feel rushed, and they were more detailed about my treatments, what to expect, side effects, what to avoid, etc. At times I felt a little rushed during our calls as well. what to avoid doing, such as exercising.) I felt that my nurse wasn't fully forthcoming with some of that information, so I researched a lot online, then asked her questions to confirm. For example, there are certain restrictions you have before and after egg retrieval as well as after the embryo transfer (i.e. I felt that I had to ask a lot of questions in order to get all of the information I needed. I really can't criticize too much, however, I felt that she didn't always communicate certain things to me. The nurse assigned to me was always prompt with returning my phone calls and calling me to give medication instructions during my cycles. Fischer- she is warm, compassionate, funny, and very knowledgeable. She also performed my last 2 ultrasounds at RMA after I was pregnant, which I was also happy about! I would definitely recommend Dr. Fischer was able to perform both my egg retrieval and embryo transfer. (we decided on IVF due to the higher probability that we would conceive.) I was also so happy that Dr. Fischer fully explained the treatments that were available to us, guided us on the probability of conception through IUI vs IVF, and never pushed us towards a specific treatment. Fischer displayed so much compassion and gave my husband and me hope that we could conceive with fertility treatments.
It was both reassuring and upsetting for me, and Dr. Fischer, she was able to diagnose me with PCOS, which was one of the factors of our infertility. Within the first 5 minutes of my first conversation with Dr. For most of my adult life, I tried to tell my doctors that I felt that something was "off," but I felt that my doctors never really listened to me and brushed aside my symptoms. She was very reassuring and she was the first doctor who diagnosed me with PCOS at the age of 34. Her knowledge and compassion were extremely evident.
Fischer, which was virtual due to the COVID pandemic, I immediately liked her and felt I could trust her 100%. I have gone elsewhere since and felt treated with respect every time. It felt humiliating, and we left feeling completely hopeless. There should have been informed consent before we had an appointment and tons of testing completed, as I would not have proceeded with the appointment. I find the practice to be fat phobic as there is no reason why they could not choose to move forward with IUI. RMA will not provide any treatment if you are over their BMI limit, period. Most offices will say it is due to anesthesia. But after almost all next steps, she proceeded to write that it was only once my BMI was under their cutoff. We last met with the nurse who proceeded to tell us the next steps. And he mentioned not being able to do IVF but starting with IUI after the initial testing. At my appointment, the doctor was very thorough discussing reproductive medicine. I was told what BMI limit for IVF, and I understood this to mean the limit was for IVF only, as they did not explain otherwise. I called before I went and asked about BMI limit.
