[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone seen Dr. Sacks?[/quote]

I had a consultation with him and it went well! He was the first doctor to actually ask me how I feel. Very compassionate, which is just what I need during this difficult  time. I also had a consult with Abassi and she has the opposite style. Straightforward, no hand holding there. But straight with the facts and seems knowledgeable. Depends on what you’re looking for.

Dear PP or any readers who have been through Cokumbia, do you have any feedback on your experience with Columbia Fertility outside of the doctors themselves. I too had a consult and really appreciated the doctors approach, but I am noticing it is very difficult for me to get someone on the phone. The vibe I get is that the doctors are excellent but the admin and running of the office is lacking. I saw this theme in their Yelp reviews too and was hoping it was just a fluke but now I am seeing it myself firsthand.

Normally I would run but it is hard to find a good RE and I can deal with it if it means real help with infertility issues.

Please let me know if you have this experience and if you have any tips for navigating their less than ideal admin system. Thank you so much!

I've only been there twice for consultations so I can't speak to what it is truly like. Based on my experience, it has been easy to far to get an appointment on the phone. I just call again if nobody picks up. I also got the vibe that they are busy and the office team is always running around. I like how their lab is in house, so I can get my bloodwork done right then and there (previous RE didn't and I had to go to LabCorp after appointments). I would keep a close eye on insurance/bills and things of that sort, just based on reading reviews. Worst part for me so far is paying for parking. Just another cost I didn't have to think about before.
