[quote=Anonymous]I went to Dr. Davis last year after several rounds of BFNs in DC, and finally got a positive on the first try there. So glad I went. 
I also was monitored locally, but I think they told me to come up there before day 7 - so I did a bit of back and forth, because of work. Some people had cards that you would just scan when you arrive, I did not (which I never figured out why) so I had to sign up at the reception every time. Anyway, the wait for the morning monitoring was not long at all despite being such a huge machine. And I don't think it made a huge difference whether I went earlier around 7:30 or later at 8:20ish.  
As one of the previous posters mentioned, if you are not so used to doing intramuscular injections on your rear side (for the trigger shot), it would be good to ask for a Cornell nurse to do it for you (you pay like $100 cash to the nurse - it's unofficial so they won't tell you unless you ask). I was not particularly impressed with Katie (but she was new then...), but when I had issues with the trigger shot (and that is why I am saying it may be better to ask a Cornell nurse), Jackie was super nice and went out of her way to find a solution for me. 
I didn't like the receptionists in general, as they would be quite cold and unhelpful, but everyone else was nice. Although Dr. Davis was my doctor, I happened to be with Dr. Spandorfer for co-culture stuff and transfer. I really liked him, as he was funny and that made me relax (and maybe the opera that was playing in the transfer room :-))!
Good luck OP!!!        [/quote]
