While I was not successful in conceiving at The Center for Human Reproduction, I would absolutely recommend them. As someone who may be considered a more complex case, CHR gave me hope during a time when I truly needed it most.First and foremost, everyone there is wonderful. Friendly, kind, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. Even the front desk staff greeted us by name almost daily, which made such a difference during an emotional process. Maria and Sonia were especially exceptional, and I am also grateful for Dr. Gleicher. He was realistic while still being compassionate, and I trusted his professional opinion and expertise.The only reason we are no longer with CHR is because we are from Texas, and after spending two months in New York for two IVF cycles, we decided to pursue treatment closer to home.Now that I have experienced another clinic firsthand, I can honestly say the overall experience at CHR is unmatched. The ultrasounds, bloodwork, communication, organization, and cohesive care all felt efficient and personalized.As an out-of-towner, I also appreciated their Upper East Side location. Walking through Central Park after appointments became part of our routine, and somehow made a difficult experience feel a little lighter.I will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and hope CHR gave us.
