Dr.Sher

Has anyone seen him? Or had success at SIRM? I need a second opinion and we are going to Vegas to decompress so I will kill two birds.

 

Also congrats to all the BFP'S!!

 

Thanks.

I live near his Northern CA office and I have heard from my OB/GYN that his office is shady. I don't know if that applies to the Northern CA location or all but since he owns them all I would suggest doing some research first.

I go to the Fertility Center of Las Vegas (Dr. Shapiro) and it is only one of three that are on the SART website (is that correct???). I have heard some bad stories about Dr. Sher in Vegas and the people then went elsewhere.

i go to SIRM NY and have had a great experience.  sadly i'm not a success yet (if you want success stories go to success after if or pregnant after if).

i love my RE, he is compassionate, smart and always listens to me and i know he has my best interest at heart.  he responds w/in a hour to emails and by eod to phone calls. 

i know several ladies who have had success at SIRM NY, NJ and CA.  they have their own approach and it's not for everyone.  Dr. Sher, who works out of the LV office does not report #'s to SART because he thinks lots of clinics lie and pad their #'s.  https://www.ivfauthority.com/search/label/SART

To be honest, there have been a lot of first hand negative experiences and questionable practices with several clinics here on the board, and SIRM-LV does not stand out in my mind. Unless you have first hand experience with this clinic or have specific cases that you can cite, negative comments based on hearsay seem questionable.

For sure, SIRM is not conservative and they can be considered controversial because of their immunology angle, however this approach may be exactly the kind of therapy that is appropriate for certain patients. Furthermore, many clinics are not supportive of practices that differ from their own. I'm not saying that SIRM is or is not without it's downsides, but even the "best" clinics have patients that go elsewhere, and to me this argument is inadequate without supporting information. 

Good luck with your research!

I had a 2nd opinion and immune blood work  at SIRM NJ.  I really like the Dr. there and he has spent considerable time walking through our lab results, options, etc.  One thing I really like is he never pressured us to leave our current Dr. and seems to agree with his plan for us at this point.  Since my immune bloodwork came back negative, we will not be cycling with SIRM at this point due to the distance. But, overall I had a very positive experience there and if I don't have success with my current RE, I would go back. Good luck.  If you are going to be in Vegas anyway, it is worth meeting Dr. Sher and forming your own opinion of him and the practice!

My only hesitation would be that they do not report to SART. I would feel I was taking an unknown gamble.
