"Dr Gleicher is a king, he is on the highest level of experience and knowledge. I met some IVF doctors before and no one came even close to his professionalism and wisdom. This generation of doctors are the real doctors, that know IVF inside out. And fight for their patients and not treat them like numbers like most others in that industry. They want the best outcome and actually investigate your issue based on their vast knowledge, almost like a detective. I am so thankful I met him."
"Beautiful office and staff"
"Dr. Gleicher has handpicked best staff for his clinic. The care I have received here surpasses other clinics by a wide margin. I should know because I myself am a physician"
"This was my first IVF experience and it sure was a special experience. Dr. Barad, Dr. Gleicher, Sonya, Maria and the rest of the staff were beyond amazing and attentive every step of the way. They genuinely wanted the best for me and I never felt overlooked. My first egg retrieval and transfer were a success and I’m so grateful for this healthy pregnancy! They are truly the best."
"It was my first time when I met Dr. Gleicher and I felt so comfortable and so special. His words of experience , knowledge mean a lot for me. I definitely recommend Dr Gleicher to everyone who looking for great and honest doctor!"
"Unfortunately, I have had to deal with infertility for 7+ years and have been with 4 different clinics. CHR, Drs Barad and Gleicher, and the entire staff have been nothing short of kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. This clinic is 2.5 hours from us, so it was a big decision to travel out of state for care; but I am so glad we made the decision. We’re still in the thick of it, but I feel comfortable and confident with my treatment plan."
"A very valuable point of view. Dr. Gleicher raised some concerns and issues in my process that led me to discover an unexpected health issue, which I then treated. I went to him for a second opinion and it was very helpful."
"I love the people that work at this facility. Dr. Gleicher was so nice and kind and helped me with my fertility issues. He helped me with complications that I had that my regular obgyns did not notice for years. The front desk staff and my nurse Ms Aliyah was so friendly and willing to work with me and my appointments. This facility gets 5 stars from me hands down."
"Dr Gleicher and Dr Barad are amazing! They have helped me with a successful pregnancy in the past and I’m seeking them out again for help with a sibling for my son. I’ve been to numerous fertility offices and CHR is the only one to actually search for a reason for my infertility. I highly recommend them!!"
"We came here a few months ago, as a first resort and I’m so glad we did! Dr. Gleicher ordered several tests at our first appointment and received a diagnosis within a few weeks of doing our lab work. I am currently following my treatment plan so will update in a few months. The clinic is lovely and all the staff are accommodating, warm and professional. The FD staff represent the clinic so well, Maria was thorough in explaining my treatment steps and promptly answered my many, many questions along the way. Ludmilla is the best nurse ever. She was so gentle and always put my nerves at ease. I would recommend this clinic to anybody for infertility treatment."
"We are writing this letter of gratitude for Dr Norbert Gleicher and the entire staff at Center for Human Reproduction.
My wife and I are so very thankful that we listened to Dr Gleicher's advice back on October 1st,2021 during a
consultation he advised us to not allow our fertilized eggs to be discarded and killed.Our two eggs were tested and declared to be irregular by another IVF lab.
We kept the eggs frozen and after 4 more failed IVF cycles came to Dr Gleicher for another try.
We asked Dr Gleicher if it was worth a try to have eggs transferred into my wife and he studied the data and approved of the procedure.
On February 7th,2024 we had 2 frozen eggs transferred and waited for the results.Finally later in February after the 13 day wait we were advised of blood test that confirmed that we were pregnant with an xx embryo from the transfer.XX is a girl and a huge feeling warmth and happiness overwhelmed both of us.
We had several ultrasounds during the 4-5 weeks following and all were very positive with strong heartbeat and great growth,
Today my wife is approaching her 18th week pregnant and all is going great with the development and follow up visits.
Our baby is growing by the day and we look forward to our 20 week ultrasound for further development rate.
If we had not discussed and listened to Dr Gleicher back in 2021 we would never have been so far with a pregnancy.
The entire staff is wonderful and Hui Na was very helpful and communicative through the entire process with my wife.
Please accept our sincere thank you and heartfelt praise for the team.
Our baby is due around Oct 26th,2024 and we intend to vist to say thanks in person,we will make the trip from our home in Florida.
Blessings to all."
"Dr. Gleicher is fantastic. He’s the most cognitively flexible doctor who has ever treated me. If one thing doesn’t work, he tries something else until he finds the solution and right fit. He never minimizes anything I communicate about my body- he may not have an explanation immediately, but that doesn’t stop him trying to address my issue. Dr. Barad is also wonderful, has a great bedside manner and is incredibly knowledgeable. I trust them both completely. They already helped me have one baby and now I’m back for transfers of the embryos they so insightfully recommended I freeze 5 years ago. I’m very thankful for what Drs. Gleicher and Barad and the rest of their team have done for my family."
"I cannot say enough positive things about this place! Dr. Gleicher was so thorough with me and did not accept the “easy” answer regarding my infertility like all of the other fertility specialist I seen prior to him did. I cannot thank him enough for giving us our miracle baby! My nurse, Aliyah, was the most kind and compassionate nurse I have ever experienced. My entire experience was amazing. I felt so comfortable and confident that I was in good hands. THANK YOU to the entire CHR staff!"
"Very pleasant and patient"
"Dr. Gleicher is not only a leading expert in his field but also an extremely kind and evolved human being. He is a God sent and is truly interested in what is best for his patients and in providing them the best chance of success."
"I have been with CHR since 2018. I came in for a second opinion when my last fertility Dr advised I would need to consider egg donation. I was devastated. When I consulted with Dr. Gleicher on 12/5/2018 he told me you will get pregnant with your own egg. I left positive that I was going to get pregnant. He got to the root of my infertility which the previous Dr did not and managed my treatment to my need. 2/3/2019 I went in for retrieval 2/7/2019, transfer on 2/19/2019. I was pronounced pregnant & on 10/19/2019 my baby girl made me a mommy. Because of Dr Barad & Dr. Gleicher I have been blessed. I am now back for my second & the experience has been the same even with a bit more complications now that I’m a bit older. Dr Barad is a gem he makes you feel so secure & makes you feel like everything will be ok. I have referred 2 friends who also had success with CHR & I will continue referring all woman who want to be a mommy but just need a little help & specific treatment to their need. CHR does not give up on you!"
"The office was well coordinated, courteous staff, and the doctor explained clearly what he thought my condition is, before sending me for lab work and after his patient coordinator guided me kindly. "
"Dr Gleicher is well known in the IVF community for his knowledge on aneuploid embryo transfer and outcomes. I was seeking a consult with a goal of asking some questions and also prioritising my own aneuploid embryos (which the doctor where I live had agreed to transfer). We went through each of the 19 currently frozen embryos and he helped me assess and prioritise each one. He also picked up one thing in my results that no one else had ever mentioned which has given me one more path I could try for my next retrieval to improve my euploidy rate.I’m aware that some of his research is contentious within the scientific medical community (moreso for how the data is presented rather than for the mere fact he advocates for the transfer of aneuploid embryos). In this context I found him to be methodical and very clear, clarifying when necessary. I had a stated goal going into the appointment and I came out having achieved that goal. I appreciated his time deeply."
"The care provided at CHR is second to none and I could not recommend this practice more highly. Truly wonderful experience."
"I would say this is one of the most knowledgeable doctors alive in terms of the science of infertility. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to meet him and allow him to take care of my complex case. In our short interaction so far I can see how much he loves what he do, how he went thoroughly through my history and came up with a very rational plan. I’m looking forward to seeing what is next in this journey."
"Dr. Gleicher is very knowledgeable. I am confident that he will be able to get to the bottom of my infertility issue, and correct the problem."
"It’s a good Centre of human reproduction"
"I am an established patient. Unfortunately, I had an unforeseen life changing event that occurred to me late last year, so I was unable to start my very first IVF Cycle. I advised the nurse that I would have to put the IVF Cycle on hold, as I was not sure if or when I would return. I really hate that I had completed all the blood work, test required and couldn't even start the Cycle (wasn't my fault) - felt like giving up and a waste of my energy, time and money. Just know we may not understand why, but everything happens for a reason. God had a better plan for me!!! 🙏 So, I'm not going to give up on my dream of having a baby...I'm back and ready to continue the process and IVF Cycle with my new partner! We just recently had a consultation with Dr. Gleicher (whom I follow on YouTube) and it went well. I am interested in trying the HIER method at CHR. One of his videos talks about the HIER method - never before seen or heard of I believe at any other Fertility clinic in the US and after watching it, I was sold as it gave me hope! 🤞"
"Dr. Gleicher is super competent and a great listener. Explained things very well and was very honest and gentle when giving tough news. Very much appreciated."
"Conversation went well for my first consultation with Dr. Gleicher"
"Great"
"Dr. Gleicher was nearly 30 minutes late to our consultation, but that's not necessarily anything new when it comes to doctors' offices. I was a little surprised that he went through our entire intake questionnaire with us, despite having sent an initial report based off of it, but appreciated his thoroughness and willingness not to rush us. He spent over an hour on the consult. He also was unwilling to jump to conclusions about our diagnosis, and asked for multiple additional tests, further demonstrating his commitment to careful, individualized care."
"I had a great experience in CHR.I am grateful for the kind of services and treatment that I received in CHR. My medical plan was so organized, and all the people in this clinic from the financial department (Monica), secretaries, nurses and medical team were nice, kind, and professional. They were so helpful, and answered any questions and concerns I had regarding my medical treatment. Although it was tough coordinating from another state to come NYC for this medical treatment, my nurse Huian helped me a lot. I am really satisfied with my medical plan. There wasn't any hope said from other fertility doctors for my case, but Dr. Gleicher was such a knowledgeable doctor in this field and proposed a new plan that increases my chance to 20%. I appreciate Dr.Gleicher. I'm also thankful of the help of my nurse, Huina, other nurses, Ilayda, and Maria in my treatment plan."
"Love Dr Barad he makes you feel so secure and Dr Gleicher is about dedicated treatment to your need."
"Dr. Gleicher, Dr. Barad experience in the field is remarkable. I still trust that my baby(ies) will be brought to life and will be thanks to them."
"Dr. Gleicher is very direct and informative. Answered all my questions about IVF. I’m relieved to have a clear picture of my treatment plan. "
"Dr. Gleicher is great. I’m grateful for the staff at CHR. They really helped me understand my chances of getting pregnant after 40 y.o. He made me feel like I’m in good hands. "
"Great bedside manner and excellent detail when explaining things. "
"Dr. Gleicer provided me with exceptional care. Their welcoming approach, expertise, and compassionate patient care set them apart. They took the time to listen, explain my diagnosis, and answer questions with clarity. Their commitment to high-quality care and genuine concern made me feel valued. I highly recommend Dr. Gleicer to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate healthcare professional. They are truly exceptional, and I'm grateful for the outstanding care I received under their guidance."
"Dr. Gleicher was amazing! He was very knowledgable about my condition and informed me every step of the process. Can't wait to continue my journey here!! "
"Dr. Barad is very professional, focused, and caring. He and Dr. Gleicher make an excellent team. I feel like they're really paying attention to my case and making precise and smart recommendations."
"I just had my first consultation and so far everything is going smooth. Staff seems to be polite and helpful. Hope everything goes smooth here"
"Dr Gleicher was wonderful. He was very generous and took the time to answer all my questions and explain different processes."
"Dr. Gleicher is knowledgable, professional and kind. He helped us get to the root cause of our fertility challenges, which has provided us with a direction moving forward! Highly recommend!"
"When I started this journey over 3 years ago, I knew I would have good days and bad days, but nothing can ease the difficult days more than a compassionate team, that’s CHR. I was seeing a doctor at a center in Chicago and completed 4 awful cycles that left me heartbroken. My former doctor was obsessed with me using an egg donor and gave me almost no hope of having a child with my own eggs. I have DOR and unfortunately, I am considered a poor responder to ovarian stimulations. Thankfully, after a much-needed break from her, I found CHR! They are group of phenomenal human beings, knowledgeable, professional, caring, honest, approachable, kind, and compassionate. Dr. Gleicher, Dr. Barad and Dr. Benor are skilled, experienced, and honest physicians that keep communication as one of the key elements in their relationship with the patient. Even when things did not go as expected, they made sure to comfort me and maintained a positive attitude without being unrealistic. The day I had my first Skype consultation with Dr. Gleicher, I knew they were the ones, and that they will give me my so desired baby. The embryologists are also outstanding, they made sure I understood the process in detail and kept my precious embryos safe. My nurse Maria is someone I will always remember with special affection. Maria was always so caring, she made sure I felt comfortable, and that all the instructions were clear. She was always so easy to reach and always went beyond expectations during my cycles. Even if she had to call with not-so-good news, she found ways to keep my spirit positive. But words are not enough to describe how wonderful CHR is, and what they mean to me. They made my dream of becoming a mother a reality! The valued each of my precious eggs as unique and worth the effort and made the magic of giving me my perfect baby girl. I trusted them throughout the whole process and would do it all over again. I will never forget the day Dr. Barad did my embryo transfer and held my hand, I could imagine his smile through his face mask, and his eyes told me “Everything is going to be ok”. Everyone in CHR is friendly, kind and considered, from the front desk ladies to the nurses, labs techs, etc., you don’t’ have to talk to answering machines or leave messages that no one ever responds, you don’t feel that you are just a number like in other centers. They all make sure you have a great experience since day one. Thank you CHR for not letting me give up on my dream!"
"I just had my initial consultation with Dr. Norbert Gleicher last week. It went really well. He was very patient to answer all my questions and concerns. More importantly, he is digging deeper on my overall health to find out or exclude any health issues that prevents me from achieving my family expansion goal. That's what I have been looking for. I believe in Dr. Gleicher, and I also believe with his help I will succeed in the near future. My confidence in him started me viewing all his Youtube videos. They are very helpful. I already liked him since then. Strongly recommend Dr. Gleicher to anyone who hasn't found out the reasons and corresponding solutions. He provides customized plans, just for you!"
"Dr. Gleicher is a world-renowned expert in fertility for older women, and when I went to him for a second opinion, he did a much more thorough review and testing of my background than the top-ranked care provider I was seeing."
"Very knowledgeable, patient, courteous, and kind. Highly recommended."
"Chose to work with Dr. Gleicher this year after seeing other specialists last year. For ref, I consider myself relatively healthy and with no major fertility issues. I consider the fertility assessment provided here an investment in my future health and family plans. The decision was based on reading some of the publications coming out of his research team. What can I say, there's a massive difference between a world class specialist like Dr. Gleicher and the other drs I've seen so far. Totally recommend!"
"The best doctor, best team and best clinic!"
"Dr. Gleicher is the best in the field. Highly recommended. He is patient and really cares about his patients."
"So far very satisfactory visit."
"Dr. Gleicher was very knowledgeable about the various areas of OB/GYN. His staff provided great assistance with the visit."
"I recently had my first consultation with Dr. Gleicher and it went well, despite we had a little bad connection via Microsoft Teams. However, I've watched Dr. Gleicher for some time now on his YouTube channel with CHR and like what he stands for - research and getting to the root cause of infertility in older women. He seems very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience in fertility. What sold me to give CHR a try is the HIER method and DHEA! I had no idea how important those two key components are in advanced age women until I watched his videos. In my own journey, have not heard about this method at any of the fertility centers in my area. I only heard it first here at CHR and I can only hope and pray that my experience here will be a successful one!!"
"Dr Norbert Gleichen took his time to explain all options available to us . He is also extremely patient when my husband and I had some additional questions for him .."
"Dr. Gleicher and his staff are knowledgeable, thorough, and supportive! Highly recommend!"
"Dr. Gleicher’s knowledge, experience, and research is what you want in what is still thought of as *experimental* medicine. He makes all his research accessible on CHR website allowing non patients to utilize his knowledge. He is beyond professional and direct. I wouldn’t want this any other way, but with the added empathy and respect, I was beyond pleased."
"CHR is the best and the only reason why I am pregnant!! Before coming to the Center for Human Reproduction, my husband and I had been to two fertility clinics in NJ. We did a total of 6 IUIs, two completely failed IVF cycles including one failed fresh transfer. From those clinics we were diagnosed with male factor infertility. But the reason why the cycles were failing came down to my egg quality. The doctors at these clinics told us an array of heartbreaking things, for example, that probably one of us has a genetic disorder that hasn’t been discovered and we can try again, changing absolutely nothing and if it did not work, we wouldn’t be able to have children of our own. What those doctors really meant was that they had no idea how to diagnose me, no less how to treat me. My mother and sister decided to do some research after my failed cycle and came across CHR’s website and it was life changing! I sent CHR all my medical records for the second opinion program and within a week I received a report from Dr. Gleicher - diagnosing me with lean PCOS. I couldn’t believe that after a year and a half, at two major fertility clinics in NJ, I sent my records to CHR and I had a real diagnosis. I couldn’t have been more thrilled. I set up a consultation with Dr. Gleicher as soon as I could so I could get started at their office. I also have Lupus Nephritis SLE and Dr. Gleicher was very knowledgeable about that condition and what risks it poses to pregnancy. Dr. Gleicher was great during the consultation going over everything and wanted me to start a specific dosage of DHEA. I will never forget that before hanging up from our virtual call Dr. Gleicher said, “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.” After all the failed treatments, I couldn’t believe a doctor was telling me not to worry. I breathed a sigh of relief - I knew he was confident in my treatment and therefore I was confident in him. After six weeks of DHEA I was ready for my IVF cycle. During the monitoring I mostly saw Dr. Barad. He is such a caring doctor who treats his patients with dignity. I felt that he truly took into account how difficult having to go through infertility is and it showed. He was patient and always took his time for my questions or to just explain where I was in the process. I was finally ready for my egg retrieval. Now in the past, my embryos did not make it to freeze so I was left with none. The egg retrieval results at CHR were beyond my expectation. I had 12 mature eggs, two of them were put in for a fresh transfer and four made it to five day blastocysts to freeze!! Unfortunately the fresh transfer did not work but I met with Dr. Gleicher and he and my nurse were very caring and supportive throughout that time. Next month I went in for a frozen transfer and I am so happy to say I am pregnant with twins! I cannot thank Dr. Gleicher enough for my diagnosis and Dr. Barad for his care! I graduated from CHR a little over a month ago and what I realized is that CHR is truly a step above the rest in terms of doctors. Not only did they diagnose me, treat me, they gave me my dream of becoming pregnant! I believe with all my heart the reason I am pregnant is because of CHR. Dr. Gleicher and Dr. Barad have the knowledge to be successful as well as the compassion to make the patients feel comfortable. The office as a whole is truly amazing! And it goes beyond the doctors. The nurses were all wonderful, Huina was the nurse assigned to me and she was great. The front desk staff were always welcoming and nice. I felt like everyone there was really rooting for me and that means so much when you are going through something this difficult. I am so thrilled to have graduated and on my way but I was sad to leave CHR and all the amazing people there! Truly, the doctors, nurses and all of the staff are such blessings! I cannot wait to meet my twin girls this spring!!"
"My husband and I met with Dr. Gleicher for consultation, and we couldn't be happier with his professionalism and how thorough he was in assessing our situation. I like his approach of "not all size fits all", he seems to treat each patient as an individual not a statistic. Even though I am advanced in age, we are confident that God Has placed us in the right hands of Dr. Gleicher and his team. We are still early in the process, but we are very hopeful."
"Dr Barad was a doll during my last follow-up. He took tons of time with me to thoroughly go through my case, reviewing the quality of my embryos. He walked me through a number of options for my next round and was both honest and reassuring. I really appreciated the attention he gave my situation. It felt very personalized. He also infused me with some optimism for the next steps, which is so important during this hard journey. Both he and Dr. Gleicher are exceptional as is their approach. I am glad I switched to CHR."
"Love the team at CHR they have my confidence!"
"Great doctor"
"Doctors, nurses and staff are extremely caring, willing to answer any questions and very pleasant."
"I can't say enough good things about CHR!"
"I have just had my initial consultation with Dr. Norbert Gleicher. It was a very positive experience. I am 49, so my chances are low which I am aware of and something doctors have spent much time in informing me. Therefore, it was nice that Dr. Gleicher kept it short, didn't use most of his time pointing out how impossible this is and didn't try to push me into egg donation. Instead, I felt I was given choise to give it a try. In terms of medical history, he was very thorough. Being older, I also hugely appreciate that this center is not driven by statistics, but by individualising treatment. I recommend Dr. Gleicher and are excited to see what the future will bring."
"I reached out to CHR because I’m 45 and after 8 months of trying, was looking for assistance in getting pregnant. After my phone consultation with Dr. Gleicher, I was sent a list of lab appointments, (via their portal), I had to complete extensive blood tests and other requested information to determine the next steps. This is all VERY normal. Most healthcare offices have their portal as a way of communicating. I read someone’s review complaining about having to “take computer classes” to be able to communicate with CHR??? People will complain about anything if they didn’t get their expected outcome. Anyway, once my blood tests came back, Dr. Geicher notified me that my FSH numbers were really good and started me on his recommended supplements to improve egg quality/quantity, in preparation for IVF. After 3 months of being on his supplements, I got pregnant naturally. Dr. Barad and Dr. G closely monitored me for the first 10-12 weeks, (with weekly ultrasounds), making sure everything was going as it should, and Marijana, (who assisted Dr. G and Barad), would constantly check-up on me when I would forget to send my weekly updates in the portal. Not once did I feel like I was “just another patient,” even though I was. With each visit and every interaction, I felt I was not only working with very intelligent people but also that they cared. Once they confirmed my pregnancy was going well, they helped me decide on an OBGYN in my network and released me. TBH, I was very scared to leave because I became dependent on them, and their knowledge and wasn't sure if my next Dr. would be on their level. My experience couldn’t have been a better one, not because I got the outcome I wanted, but because I felt extremely confident, from the initial phone call with Dr. G to the very end, that I was dealing with the “experts” in this field. They don’t tell you on the first call that you need an egg donor, which most Dr’s would do. They assess your situation and decide the best course of action for you. I’m now 4 months pregnant and even though it happened naturally, I don’t think it could have ever happened without the guidance of CHR. More people need to know about this place. Period."
"Dr Gleicher is incredibly knowledgeable and I was very impressed. He was so gentle and really cares"
"This practice is the best I’ve ever gone to. They listen and are personable. They make a stressful situation the most comfortable they can. Every single person I’ve worked with has been so kind and understanding."
"Amazing experience. Dr Gleicher is really great, explains everything in detail. He asks you about the smallest details regarding your health and looks at the problem holistically. The staff at CHR is great, very friendly and professional."
"Dr. Gleicher is not only a leader in his field but I also found him to be a good listener and an empathetic human being."
"Dr Gleicher and team are amazing. Very patient, answer all questions thoroughly and most importantly they are compassionate."
"Excellent first consultation over Teams. I felt Dr Gleicher had a clear ability to reason scientifically about our situation and provide some potential insights as to why we are not currently pregnant."
"An amazing and successful experience. We had been through multiple unsuccessful attempts. Dr Gleicher was not only extremely patient and kind, his expertise is the best in the world. We are eternally grateful for everyone there and have a 6 month old we are in love with."
"We happened upon CHR via our extensive research process, following a failed attempt at another clinic in FL. We were told by IVFMD of Florida that we couldn't have a baby without an egg donor; refusing to accept that heartbreaking news as reality, we thankfully sought a second opinion. At our first consultation via telephone, Dr Gleicher expressed utmost confidence in his ability to manage our case, and in his ability to succeed in helping us have a family. Dr G seems to specialize in difficult cases like ours, and has perfected his approach to maximizing success with same. His staff is incredibly talented, knowledgeable and kind, putting us at ease and walking us thru each step of the way. Having the benefit of perspective of multiple clinics and experiences (and outcomes!), we unabashedly recommend CHR to ANYBODY facing this stressful and agonizing process, and wish them all the best in making their dreams come true. We welcomed our little girl into the world in Dec 2020, and are forever grateful to God and the exceptional team at CHR that made it possible."

"I have been a long-time IVF warrior. I am a young person who unfortunately has very poor ovarian reserve. Prior to CHR, I have had 2 very discouraging retrieval cycles from 2 reputable local IVF clinics. I almost gave up on having my own biological children before contacting CHR. Dr. Gleicher rekindled my confidence through his expertise in dealing with difficult cases like mine. With his one-of-a-kind protocol, I retrieved 19 eggs and produced 8 high-grade embryos! Unfortunately 6 of them did not implant. Then the doctors tried a much more aggressive immune suppressing protocol, and now I am almost due with twins :)I am not giving them great reviews just because I had success with them. Like I said I have been to multiple IVF centers and I have done a lot of research. First of all, you cannot compare IVF centers with statistics alone, because they admit different types of patients. Secondly, bedside manner should not be a factor. My doctor at my previous clinic had super nice bedside manners but they messed up my cycle big time. Dr. Gleicher may appear cold but Dr. Barad is super great with patients. If you read the papers that these doctors write you will see they are at the forefront of IVF technology. I also love their lab technicians. They always disclose a lot of information about my embryos to me and are very candid."
"I would just like to write something about chr. From the moment we started this very stressful journey, we felt so confident we were in good hands. From our first meeting with Dr.Gleicher to our experience with Lorenis our nurse, and of course the wonderful and fabulous Dr. David Barad. He put me and my husband at ease every step of the way, and for that we are forever grateful. Our daughter will be a year and a half this month and chr made our dreams come true. Thank you so much. The Wolchok family.❣️"
"Fantastic experience"
"My consultation visit with Dr. Gleicher was great. He was patient and direct in his communication but also honest."
"Both Dr.Gleicher & Dr.Barad are wonderful doctors. Even more so, the entire team of nurses care for you like you’re family. You will always be greeted with smiles from the administrative team, and the overall environment is warm and welcoming. I always appreciate the honesty yet decorum the doctors use when communicating with you... Because of this amazing team, we now have hope that we will one day in the near future become parents."
