[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And one of my nurses ordered thousands of dollars in extra meds that we never needed, which totally sucked. [/quote]

This happened to me as well (at CFA DC office).  I read other threads on this board from patients who had the same nurse do the same thing to them.  Despite the insane billing issues, I originally was reasonably happy with my RE at CFA.  But I had issues with my nurse contact during my first cycle, which should have been a sign.  Instead I continued (doing three more IVF cycles) there thinking that the RE was the most important thing.  But I should have realized that the state of the practice tells you something about the doctor as well.  In my case, not only was the staff disorganized, the RE missed a very common and easy to diagnose condition that resulted from the miscarriage I had after my first cycle...which made it nearly impossible to get pregnant again.  My RE dismissed my complaints about my symptoms...which I think was also somewhat of a result of the office's disorganization.  When I finally switched clinics (to GW), it was diagnosed and corrected right away.  I'm now almost 15 weeks.

All I can say is you have to trust the RE, and you have to trust the staff.  Your IVF cycle depends as much on the staff as it does on your RE...if you are not comfortable with both it will add unneeded stress and possibly impact the outcome.[/quote]
