Does anyone have experience with Dr. Glassner of Main Line Fertility?

I do! I started out with Dr. Orris, another Main Line Fertility doctor. I stayed with him several months too long before switching to Dr. Glassner. I loved Dr. Glassner. He makes you feel like your story counts. He relates to your troubles, and has a sense of humor that I've never experienced with any other doctor. He always made my husband and I feel at ease despite our situation at the time. The only problem is, he is quite popular, and you don't quite have that one-on-one attention after office hours as you may with other doctors. He does return all calls, but the few times I had to call him, he didn't respond until 11 pm at night. He was still in the office getting back to patients. On a positive note, it only took him 6 months for me to get pregnant. I'm due in April! Good luck to you!

I don't, but I know a few people who have and they say he is great.

I know three people who have gone to him and loved him.  I went to him bout a year and a half ago and didn't really click with him.  I ended up going to Abington Reproductive and loved them.

Dr. Glassner diagnosed me with PCOS last September and I would not recommend him, unless you're looking for an IVF specialist, because I hear he's very good at that and has a high success rate. (They also have a wonderful nursing staff, I really liked most of them.)

I started to feel like I was spinning through a revolving door at his office. He did not take enough time to review my chart before I saw him (he kept forgetting that I felt strongly about going for ONE mature follicle-- not multiples.) And I started seeing other fertility docs (at Christiana and Penn Health for Women at Radnor) who described his prescribed use of clomid as "unorthodox" and seemed confused by his strategy. I even saw another doc in his office when he was unavailable and he contradicted Dr. Glassner's treatment. This was the final straw and I stopped seeing him after that. (Felt like they were just moving me along in the process towards injections and then IVF... because, let's face it... that's where these fertility docs can make beau-coup bucks.)

I would like to highly recommend Penn Health for Women at Radnor. I got pregnant on my first round of Letrozole. (And it was on HALF the dose that the Mail Line Fertility doc prescribed for me!!!)

Good Luck.

Thanks ladies for all of your advice!

I saw Dr. Luis Blasco with Main Line Fertility and would highly recommend him.  He is a kind and gentle man, very knowledgable and was patient with any questions my husband and I had.  We first went to see him in November, and I found out I was pregnant in February.  If something didn't work, he didn't waste any time trying something else.  As you know, it is a difficult time and Dr. Blasco tries to ease any fears, concerns or apprehension.  In addition to all of that, his office staff (in Oaks) is helpful and kind.

 Good luck to you - I send you all good thoughts and wishes!

i had dr orris (who some patients tend not to like) and had no troubles with him. i'm not the kind of patient who needs a touchy-feely-let me cry on your shoulder type doctor. also, i think how you feel about the nursing staff is important because that's who you'll spend most of your time with.  i was preggo within 4 months.  i also met dr glassner and i thought he was cool.  as a patient, i really think that you need to make your expectations clear and if the doc/clinic can't meet your needs then you move on.

I'm a little late here but I went to Dr. Glassner and loved him.  I had no problems with his office or staff.  It is a very busy office.  I always felt like he had time for me.  I ended up doing IVF because of our issues and that staff was wonderful too.  I've heard great things about all the doctors there.  Some are more conservative than others.  Good luck with your decision.

I currently see Dr. Orris, so far so good.  Not pregnant yet but he keeps my hopes up and is very no nonsense.  I don't want the fluff, just someone to do the job and get it done!  A lot of people don't like that about him but I think he's great!

I am way late here, but I love both Dr Glassner and Dr Orris... they were so wonderful, and ultimately successful!
