*bitching

Yep- I was the one "biching" about "my doctor"not doing any of my procedures.

So there was a thread about GW where people were pissed that "their" doctor didn't do all the monitoring and procedures. Now, people are bitching because only 1 doctor is doing the monitoring and procedures. Personally, if it's a good lab, good doctor and good nurses it's a win.

Wow, this is really unsettling. I like Dr. F but they need to get help really soon before their reputation tanks.

The embryologist is/was Dr Dubey - I googled him, and maybe he too is gone? I did see him on the "Cleveland Clinic" list of visiting scholars though so maybe he is on a research program?
I don't know....
I loved my time at GW, but I probably wouldnt go until they had a second doctor. I was told they had hired someone who would start this spring.
If you are a patient there, you should TALK to them about it before you freak out.

Dr F is amazing, regardless of what is going on there.

I have about 10 months before I'm planning to return to GW for the next treatment.
You think 10 months is enough for them to stablize everything?

We have DH's frozen stuff there.. Don't wish to move it to elsewhere unless we have to...

Head Embryologis? or someone working under the big boss?

I remember the head embryologist was a 55+, semi-bold, middle-eastern looking guy.
Forgot his name.
Did that person leave as well?

I should have gone to Shady Grove.

Then again, every one of my mature eggs fertilized, and the frozen ones survived the thaw and divided.

Don't start second guessing yourself. They have a good lab. All this recent drama is unsettling for sure though.

Not sure what this adds but I once overheard Frankfurter and Gindoff bickering. I couldn't hear wha they were saying, but it struck me as odd. This was in January of this year. I never liked Gindoff all that well. Competent enough doc but horrible bedside manner. Very tone deaf.

hmm, just saw a post on the ttc forum (and confirmed on their website) that Gindoff is at Washington Fertility Center...

Add to that, she was pregnant at the time--that gave her no extra compassion for someone who was losing a pregnancy.

Agree. She was a cold bitch.
