We did multiple IUI and IVF cycles with all failed transfers with a local clinic in Florida. My protocols where the same on every try, no additional testing was provided, I was denied immunology testing (so called “snake oil” by the doctors) as it’s believed immunology issues do not affect fertility (in FL), and my requests/wishes were always dismissed. After interviewing with 4 doctors in NYC we felt 100% confident and comfortable moving our case with the Sher Fertility family.
From the moment I reached out to Patty Converse to schedule a consult with Dr. Sher I felt listened to and cared for. She is an absolute delight to talk to and she will always go 100% out of her way to help and assure you are taken care of no matter how busy or difficult the situation might be. Her professionalism and excellence make it very easy to fall in love with this practice from day 1.
We met with Dr Sher via Facetime as we live out of state. He took the time to review my whole case, explain in detail what he believed was preventing me to get pregnant, answer our questions, and give us a clear plan of action based on my case and my medical history. We knew we were in the best hands and are forever grateful he was available to answer any questions anytime we needed him – Yes, he gave use his personal number WOW!
We transferred our embryos to Sher Fertility in NYC and started the protocol Dr. Sher wrote after my immunology testing.
Our experience preparing and going through the calendar with all the meds (a lot of them) could not have been better. At this point I have not seen anyone, all my protocol, monitoring etc. was handled locally here in FL while the team in NYC made sure everything was in place and I had all the requisitions on hand. I felt the support and care specially from our nurse Irana. She is incredibly smart, meticulous, and available. I felt welcome to reach out with questions and not once they were unanswered.
I had the fortune to talk to Dr. Tortoriello a couple of times before I flew to NYC and saw him for a PRP a couple of days before and at transfer day. Hands down, he is the BEST doctor I have come across in my life. His bedside manner is impeccable. He is extremely gentle and knows what he’s doing…. you will not feel discomfort, pain, stress under his care with procedures you would normally experience them. He handled my transfer with care, professionalism, and not for one second, I felt rushed or out of place. I feel the success of my transfer was due to the great teamwork, experience, and gold standard care of both Dr Sher and Dr. Tortoriello.
