    I saw Dr. Pfeifer who's located in Radnor and moved from her to Main Line Fertility as I wanted more of an aggressive approach with my diagnosis.  Now I'm going to see Dr. Browne at RSI as her specialty is in premature ovarian failure.

    I had a very good experience with Dr. Gracia at Penn. I was actually just discharged yesterday. There was also a girl on another board who saw Dr. Kelly and is a week or so ahead of me and had success. Both of us with IVF. I will be honest that in the beginning if you are doing IUI or clomid you might feel somewhat lost in the crowd, but if you have to get to IVF that is a 100% different experience. They have separate schedules for each. And I think they have one of the best labs in the area which for IVF is one of the most important things. I had my doctor and nurse's cell phone numbers and they got back to me promptly and were great to me during ohss as well.
