Anyone use the Muasher Center?

[Anonymous]

I'm just trying to get a feel for how this clinic and Dr. Muasher would be. I am currently a patient at Columbia and am fairly happy there, but am frustrated with the level of attention (or lack there of) from the nurses and staff. I just feel like things get lost in the shuffle and it concerns me. I am the type of patient who likes to have all of the information, copies of reports, etc and I'm thinking that a smaller clinic may work better for my needs. Has anyone had experience with them?

Thanks!

LOVED them... ended up conceiving on my own and finally carrying to term but really really loved the service and attention I got here. I used to joke that I wasn't sure if they prepped before my appts so that I was always greeted by name or if they really knew who i was....

I also like all the info and details on my treatment but I was told by an MD that Muasher has a great lab but my MD didn't recommend him due to his paternalistic (doctor knows best - don't question me) bedside manner.

PP here who has used them.... REALLY?!?!?!

He is dry -- no doubt about that -- but I always asked lots of questions, etc. and had no issues. Really like his staff too.

full disclosure - I was seeing his wife, Lisa Muashaer, and her practice for OB/GYN so really didn't look anywhere else.

His website has videos of him talking about various things -- check him out -- and if nothing else, go talk with him and see for yourself.

Wow- this is so different- I interviewed Dr Muasher after having 3 disaster IUIS from GIVF (they missed my ovulation every time- if that could be possible- I even said it was close since i was reading about blood levels and ultrasounds- dimensions of eggs- they told me i read too much on the internet- happy to say i picked sg and have a healthy baby). Anyway- I was prepared with my thick folder of ttc history- from dc1 that we had 4 m/c's to at that point thanks to givf had 3 failed and untimed iuis (and we had tried naturally for 6 months before going to GIVF). Th Dr knew his stuff but -* looking back* he gave in to what I thought would work.. I wanted the medication to go a lot higher- and I knew by reading that my medication had been increased already at GIVF by my insistance through the IUIs and the same piddly result happened (I am a poor responder etc.) .
Dr Muasher told me he coould blast me (meaning double the really super high dose i already had) if that's what i wanted.. i had already gone to dr g at dominion who was my firfst post givf interview and said he'd blast me- increase the dose to the max- that to me sounded great.. so i conveyed that to Dr Muasher.. when i went to SG- Ithe dr looked it over nad asked me to please let him review- and then said he didn't think increasing anything would make a difference- that i was a low egg responder - that i had done 3 everytime and did not thing even more medicine would make a difference.. and - well- he was right.
