[quote=Anonymous]I definitely agree that emailing Dr. Sacks is the best.  He generally responds very quickly and thoroughly.

As for the nurses, I think both Wendy and Venecia are nice, but they both seem a little flighty to me.  Not sure how to better explain it than that...I just was never fully inspired with confidence.  (I did like the IUI nurse's better.)  I often felt better putting follow-up questions to Dr. Sacks directly (which was easy due to email).  I do really like Marcia, who is the nurse director.  You may interact with her occasionally.

The one thing I would recommend is to verify all of your protocols, treatment plans, etc with Dr. Sacks directly.  I did catch one mistake in what my nurse communicated.  I know it's frustrating that you should have to, and some people may feel that you shouldn't disturb your RE, but IF is the only type of medical issue I've ever had where it seems standard not to get details about your treatment from your doctor directly.  I dont' think it's at all intrusive to check in with your doctor directly to make sure you understand the treatment being recommended (and why if that's not obvious).  In the end, you pay a lot for this treatment and the face-to-face time with your RE is minimal if you don't push for more.[/quote]
