[quote=Anonymous]I had lots of ups and downs with SGF - but ultimately had healthy twins. I also found Dr. Widra very 'straightforward' and focused on the science and seemed to have a strong professional guard up after years of working with families who are struggling with painful and difficult fertility situations and choices (or lack of choices) that can come off as cold and uncaring, but that's the reality of their business. I don't think he and some of the others are particularly good at names or remembering cases/past patients - but they are seeing tons of patients that cycle through (not to excuse but also think it's a combo of personality & professional detachment). If you have any weekend monitoring, it's going to be done at Rockville anyway, and the retrievals and transfers are at Rockville - so you'll be interacting with Rockville one way or another. Your main doctor works on your 'diagnosis' and protocol and decisions about meds/transfers/etc - but you will basically have a range of the doctors who do the monitoring & whoever is scheduled that day doing your retrieval and transfer. I found both the Rockville and DC offices as a bit factory like for monitoring but I guess I don't expect much else at doctor's appointments. I had previously gone to GWU's fertility center & also found ups & downs there. [/quote]
