Hi,

I am trying to change my MD because the first one I had did not return any of my phone calls and there office is always closed. So I am thinking about going to the place listed in the header. I would go to the office out of Reading MA. I was hoping that their is someone from my area that may go to this office and could give me some feedback. I just dont want to make the wrong decision again, and I do not want to be disappointed again. Any feedback would be helpful and appreciated!

Thanks a bunch,

Erin

Hi Erin,
I'm going through the same thing. I go to a RE in Melrose. I was suppose to go for my first beta today at 8am. I waited outside her office for a half hour and she never showed up!!!! I called her answering service 2 times and still have not heard from her!!!! Anyway to top it all off I got AF today I would like to switch RE but I don't know if I can go through the whole process again. Let me know how you make out

You go to Dr Phansey. That is who I am going to and am going to be switching, I have had nothing but problems with her. I think it would be a good idea for you to change as well. I looked up the new office that I am considering and they are more well known, they have a website that offers a lot of information regarding sucess rates, you may want to at least check it out.

How long have you been going to Dr. P for? I think I will have to stay with her only because I still have eggs left over at New England Medical Center. Do you? I have been looking into Mass General they seem to have a great program. I'll also take a look at New England Fertility.

I have not been going long. I had a conseltation about 3 weeks ago, she said she would get my medical records and then set up an appointment adn I have heard nothing back. I have called twice and asked what was going on and they said that they would speak to the Dr and get back to me and I never heard back. Today was the final straw when i called and the answering service said that they never opened the office. I knew right then I needed to make a change. I would not want it to happen either when I had a very important appointment or if I had a serious question. I mean Dr P seemed really nice in the meeting I had but I feel that this is way to important of a process to have any doubts about my provider.

I have not had any IVF done yet nor have I started any medications for it. I am already nervous to find out what is going to happen, what is the process and when can I start, I really cant have this added stress of is she going to be there and will they ever call back.

I know this is going to be a dumb question but being a newbie I am not sure what a beta is, can you tell me?

Beta just means blood work to see if you are pregnant.
