[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've worked with or done consults with all three.

If you want to take one off of your list, I'd remove Osborn/SGF. The least adventurous in terms of trying new protocols or approaches and at 42, you are going to want someone who will be willing to do - or at least look at - every possible path to getting you pregnant.

I found that Payson and Frankfurter have very different points of view - but was impressed by both of them.

Frankfurter was extremely research and data driven. In my case, he was skeptical that 40+ women who produce a limited number of blasts should do PGS. He thinks it risks ruling out embryos that have potential to become normal or harming the embryos. He's also really detail-oriented. He was the only consult I did that read literally my entire file and found things I hadn't noticed.

Payson is backed by a CCRM-Denver-trained lab and collaborates with other CCRM doctors. If you know CCRM's national reputation, you know this is a big plus. As is most of CCRM, he is a big believer in PGS (or CCS testing as they call it) and they do it themselves, claiming they have a lower mosaic rate/rule in more good embryos than others. He was willing to try adding things like human growth hormone to protocols too.

Both CCRM and GWU are smaller than SGF with more direct access to the REs. I'd meet with both of them and make a call based on whose philosophy you trust most.

This seems like good advice.  SGF kicked me out at 42.  [/quote]
