Dr. Scott,
 
My daughter and her husband are patients in your IVF program.   He is a testicular cancer survivor.  After highly recommending your program to them I wanted to let you know how very pleased they have been with the whole process.  She is very needle-phobic and she said that your staffs, both clinical and administrative, have been great.  Additionally, she has been very happy with the care she has received from Dr. Shastri.   I was a bit reticent about recommending anyone to them for something so important in their lives.  In this day and age when patients are so quick to complain I wanted to thank you for the care my daughter has received.   I am confident in anticipating a good outcome in their quest for a family.
 
Again, thank you.
Meg

Dear Dr. Molinaro, Dr. Morris, Nurse Beth, Nurse Bernadette, and RMANJ Support Team:
   
We just wanted to thank you for the excellent service provided while we were under your care last year. We are happy to let you know that our daughter was born earlier this summer on June 4th at 39 weeks. She weighed 6 pounds 4 ounces and there were no complications with the (vaginal) delivery. She is an alert yet calm baby, and has been growing steadily these past few months. We understood that the chances for a successful conception were slim, so feel blessed to share this news.
   
Our son was also an RMANJ "success story" when he was born on  June 1, 2008, thanks to the treatment led by Dr. Michael Slowey. So, we definitely feel doubly blessed. Your high success rate and results speak for themselves, but we also appreciate the 'human' touch you provided as part of the care we received. Thank you!
   
Sincerely yours,
Elise &  Joseph
 
22 Weeks Pregnant
To RMANJ staff,
 
I am 22 weeks pregnant now with a healthy, female baby. We came to RMANJ for family balancing. We have 2 sons and always wanted a daughter. Our experience at RMANJ was nothing short of perfect. My introductory meeting with Dr Drews left me feeling optimistic. Dr Drews' bedside manner made rapport easy. He answered all of my questions, made me feel at ease and excited to begin. Adrienne  was fantastic! From day 1, though a very overwhelming process, Adrienne patiently explained everything to me.  She inspired confidence in the process because of her patience and knowledge. I will say more on Adrienne later.  I did most of my monitoring at the Somerset office. Each and every nurse who took my blood was always happy and friendly, especially considering I always arrived 5:45 am. The woman who works at the front desk, Harriet, has the most amazing disposition. I was always greeted with a smile, she always opened the doors right on time at 5:45 and seemed to never forget a face, an instruction, or to say have a nice day as I left. Dr Shastri was another consistent positive of my experience with RMA. For every sonogram Dr Shastri gave an explanation of what she was looking for, what she saw, and what to expect when the next step was given. She helped to make me feel secure as I left each office visit and not anxiously awaiting my next phone call.
      
Back to Adrienne...I must have asked Adrienne a million questions from exercise and caffeine to injections and regular “is this normal?” emails. Email made communication so much easier for me and she was willing to work with me this way. Adrienne even came to wish me luck in person on the day of my transfer. The nurses and doctors who were present for my retrieval and transfer were more of the same: helpful, friendly, kind and knowledgeable. A very anxiety provoking experience was made calm because of all of their support. I write this letter because too often, people only speak up when they have something about which they'd like to complain. That's a disservice to those who provide great support and who do a great job. We came to RMANJ because one of the doctors is a family friend. We never regretted that decision. On the contrary, we'd happily recommend RMANJ to anyone having either a fertility issue or interested in family balancing. We'd appreciate it if you could let these people know they made a difference. Thank you!

Dr. Morris, all RMANJ doctors, nurses, and staff,
     
Thank you so much for what you do. Last August I underwent IVF and got pregnant with twins after 4 unsuccessful attempts at IUI. We later found out that we were having a boy and a girl. Thanks to all of you we now have a wonderful family and are the happiest we have ever been. We look forward to many great experiences and memories in the future, none of which would have been possible without your help. We truly appreciate everything you do and the professionalism and care in which you do it.
 
Sincerely,
Melissa and Jason

Dear Dr. Bergh,
     
We want to share with you the wonderful news about the birth of our daughter on June 24, 2011. If it wasn't for you and your wonderful team, she would not be here. It truly is a dream come true...and for this we are deeply grateful. As you know IVF is a stressful process, but your team made us feel confident we would finally take home a baby. Rhonda was my wonderful nurse and her genuine compassion for her patients was very comforting. Beth, also, greeted me with a smile and caring concern at each of my visits to the Englewood office. Every doctor I saw during monitoring was professional, informative and answered all my questions. Even the embryologist was wonderful in giving her recommendations just minutes before our transfer! RMANJ deserves the recognition for its' advanced procedures, success rates and wonderful staff. You have made the dream of having a family a reality for us...and thousands across the world. We are forever grateful. Wishing you and your team continued success!

Dr. Molinaro:
     
There aren’t enough words to express to you how grateful we are to you and RMANJ for the wonderful gift you have given us.  Our daughter Charlotte was born on May 31st which was her due date.  You and your team gave us the hope, strength, guidance and compassion we needed as we struggled to have a child.  I never thought I would be sitting here with my beautiful baby next to me writing to you that she actually arrived.  I tell everyone I know about our infertility journey and how RMANJ was the answer to our prayers.  From our very first meeting you eased my mind – I trusted your words that you would get us pregnant.  We never felt like a number, names and situations were always remembered.  Rhonda was a wealth of information and always quick to respond to my daily numerous emails.  Her patience was greatly appreciated.  Beth from monitoring always had a smile and kind words even at 6am.  She could pick up our conversation from where we left off last time.  Her kindness and compassion did not go unnoticed.  Thank you.
     
Sincerely,
Jonathan and Kristy

Dr. Costantini :
 
This does not even come close to representing all of the gratitude we have in our hearts for you and all of your help during this entire process.  Because of you, our dreams are much closer to becoming a reality.
 
We will be forever grateful that you were our doctor.

I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the IVF webinar last night.  I will be doing my first cycle in July and found it to be very informative and encouraging.

Special Thanks 
This email is to thank all of you at RMANJ including my special thanks to Dr Drews and Dr Kim. I delivered a beautiful baby girl on May 23rd. This was a result of a successful frozen embryo transfer in Sept of last year. I would like to refresh your memory that I am someone with no fallopian tubes and I cannot get pregnant naturally. I would definitely come back to RMANJ in future when I plan to have another child and would recommend RMANJ to my friends that have challenges in getting pregnant. I am unable to express my gratitude in words for the excellent care, treatment and guidance I received from  RMANJ staff. My special thanks to you for your continuous support.  
 
 
Gestational Carrier Program
Dr. Scott,
 
We can’t begin to express how much you have changed our lives! After going through your Gestational Carrier program with our Friends, as our surrogate family, we have a precious baby girl named Lexa. She is such a content and happy baby. She laughs and smiles all the time and has been such a joy over the last 7 months! We can’t thank you enough for the amazing work you do at RMANJ and for the long hours and effort you put into your work. You are such a blessing to us, thank you!
      
We believe so strongly in your work that our cousins came all the way from Florida to be treated by you and are also pregnant! I also recommended you to an old High School friend, who has been struggling to get pregnant and she has also begun treatment with you from West Virginia. It is so rewarding to see these stories turning around with positive endings! Thank you!!!!
      
Our GC and 20 year friend has offered to carry for us 1 more time, so we are hoping to see you again in the next 2 years to try and bring our boys home! We don’t know if you would ever be interested, but we know our story of surrogacy is quite different. The fact that we have known our GC for 20 years and have a beautiful baby girl in our lives now has been an avenue for the 4 of us to really reach out and touch lives of so many people. We blogged about our experience from day 1 and had many interested in our journey. I don’t know if you would ever be in need of having patient testimonies at conferences or meetings that you are involved with, but we would love to share our story of surrogacy anytime. If you would like to have us speak we would be more than happy to do so. Just let us know. Have a wonderful Holiday Season and we hope to see you soon!
     
Sincerely,
Myla and Anthony
