[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience with Dr. Widra was very different than the last few posters. I posted about him a few years ago in a thread about high BMI at Shady Grove. He was extremely sensitive about all of that and other problems with my treatment. Can see why people think he is blunt - it's just his style to be quick and straightforward. I still thought he was very respectful and passed my ultra-sensitive feminist radar for interpersonal communications.

If you have specific questions, send them through the nurse in writing and ask her to forward them to him. Or -- and this is key -- schedule a consult to go over a failed cycle, he will go over concerns in more detail and consider adjustments. He is very smart so wouldn't think it's in prospective patients' interest to read this thread and avoid him.

I agree that it's difficult to "negotiate" specific adjustments mid-cycle. If he is out of town during the cycle, other doctors might be reviewing your charts. That is the way it is at SG with everyone.

A few years ago he was not the medical director of the practice.  I think with that title came more demand and duties.

I am one of the PPs, of course I scheduled a follow up appointment after a failed cycle, during which he blew off my concerns, seemed to be miffed that I got tested for MTHFR elsewhere, said that my age is the problem and the only adjustment to protocol he offered was higher doses of meds, that's it, no budging on anything else (extra testing, any other protocols).  I was very oversupressed by BCP despite not being DOR, and spent 8 (yes, eight) days on cetrotide because he started it too early.  Since then I had a cycle on a different protocol with half the stim meds, and double the M2 eggs that fertilized normally, all this being even older than I was when I was with him. To me, what he is doing is lazy.[/quote]
