[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am currently a patient of Dr. Sacks and I really like him and think he's a friendly guy, BUT he is too quick to chat about off-topic subjects (the last concert he attended, stuff like that) before he is sure that you have had all of your questions answered.

This.  At first I liked his approach because it is very humanizing.  I liked having a doctor who cared to ask about me as a person.  But after several IUI and IVF, I don't really need someone to hold my hand.  I want to feel like my RE is really trying to figure out what's going on (I've had 2 BFP--1 from fresh IVF, 1 from frozen--that ended in miscarriages and 2 BFN from 1 fresh and 1 frozen).  DH and I are both 34, and our only known issue is MFI.  By all stats we should have had a successful pregnancy by now.  I feel like Dr. Sacks is just saying it's a numbers game, and we should do more of the same.  But I want to know my RE will at least explore whether there are other issues we need to investigate.  We're looking to GW right now in the hopes that a new set of eyes and a new approach will shed some light on things.

It sounds like Dr. Abbasi might be more of the type to keep investigating.  If I hadn't been driven insane already by the billing and on-and-off rude staff at the DC CFA office (NB: that some of the staff, nurses, and phlebotomists there are amazing, others are terrible, and some are unpredictable) I might have considered switching to her.[/quote]
