[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been to both. Went to Braverman first 2 years ago and he tested and diagnosed my immune issues. I cycled twice with him and was not successfull. He does take insurance, the plans are listed on his website. I liked him but did not like the way the office was run and also [b]could not afford to continue to see him[/b].

I found Dr Abbasi about a year ago. She is the only one in the area who would give you immune meds. I think she sends her tests to Bears while Braverman uses Reprosources and a lab in Chicago.

Baverman is a reproductive immunologist, one of the few in the country. So if you want a comprehensive testing go with him. You can then pursue treatement with Abbasi locally. Thats what i did. Cycled with her twice locally and she prescribed itralipids and steroids. I did not do Neupogen with her but did it with Braverman.

Have you been checked for endometriosis?[/quote]

I am another posted interested in seeing Dr. Braverman. How are his fees? I have lost lot of money in failed IVFs and wondering if I'll be even able to afford to see him! [/quote]

Hi, I am the PP quoted. I had insurance when I saw him, he was out of network so 70% of the fee was covered. to be honest, the women I know that have had success with him are the ones that have had previous failed pregnancies. In my case, I went to him after 4 failed IVFs at 3 diffident clinics (CCRM and SG included) and wanted him to look into my immune issues( I have severe endometriosis ) . I willl be forever grateful to him for referring me to Dr Seckin who operated on my endometriosis. I am also glad I met with Braverman because he did diagnose a ton of immune issues and prescribed treatments. But I could not continue to travel to see him and cycle with him, the cost adds up especially with my track record of failed cycles.

Also, when I saw him I did not know about Dr Abbasi, I wish I had met her sooner. I don't know if she would have worked with him. In any case , she did my monitoring while I cycled with him, so maybe yes, she would have. What I am trying to say is that you can do the bloodwork with him so he can diagnose your immune issues and then cycle localy with Abbasi. She is even open to Neupogen which is pretty radical so to say compared to other REs.[/quote]
