[quote=Anonymous]I went through a cycle with him 6 months ago, and got pregnant the first try.  My husband (45) and I (33) both liked him a lot, and he's good at encouraging you both to be there.  He also referred my husband to Dr. Sherins downstairs, and that was a good move as my husband ended up being the bigger problem.  All in all, Dr. Sacks provides very good care, is a caring person, takes a lot of time to explain things etc.  My only negative about him is that he doesn't seem as up on success rates given certain treatments and ages.  For instance, he suggested implanting our 2-3 blasts on day 5, but neither of us wanted twins.  It was partially based on cost effectiveness (not so cost-effective to freeze only one embryo), and partially on what I think is outdated methodology for someone my age, first try and multiple availablity of embryos.  I did my own research and transferred on day 5 instead of day 3 with only one and am pregnant, but I think if I had listened to him about that point, I would have been not happy with twins.  In the end, he listened to what we wanted to do and didn't fight us too much, but I just got the feeling that the elective single embryo transfer was not something he was up on.  That said, we are very happy with the outcome and really liked him otherwise.  I think, as with all doctors, don't be afraid to question things and do what is right for you.[/quote]
