Love Weill Cornell. Specifically Dr. Pak Chung. He is caring, empathetic, and an excellent doctor - great at his craft, good at explaining things.
I’ve had two babies with his help and saw him for a total of 5 years - the man even called me the morning of my D&C while I was going through a miscarriage - he was not licensed to perform it himself bc it was after 8 weeks, but he remembered the day it was happening and called just to check in on me. Walked me through everything following the devastation, and helped me through a successful pregnancy after.
I can’t possibly say enough good things about him.
Good luck- this process is grueling - you want the right doctor to take you through it.

I went through 4 cycles - one at Columbia under Dr. Priyanka Ghosh, one at Neway Fertility under Dr. Jeff Wang, and the last two at NYU Langone under Dr. Shannon Devore.
I really loved the NYU experience and Dr. Devore is fabulous.
Dr. Wang was empathetic but not effective.
Dr. Ghosh somehow seemed distant and aloof. I think something was going on in her own life, I didn’t feel taken care of under her.

I’m currently pregnant with my first. I decided to deliver at Weil Cornell because of the private room.

My friend raved about her experience with Dr. Jennifer Blakemore at NYU Langone. Friend said she was great at communicating and very proactive about adjusting medication doses when needed. Overall her cycle went well and she felt very cared for by the doctor.

Dr Drew Tortoriello from Sher Fertility. He’s kind and has been very gentle. I’m still in the midst of my TTC/IVF journey but I’m on break for the summer.

I also received a recommendation for Dr Stephen Somkuti of Ferny Fertility in midtown. He isn’t in my insurance network but I’ve heard good things.

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?
