RE at Penn Health for Women - Radnor?

I saw the post below for the OB/GYN at Penn Health, but am wondering if anyone can recommend their RE at the same practice?

I have a consult with Dr. Gracia in a few weeks. I was diagnosed years ago with premature ovarian failure (POF) and had a myomectomy in April 2008 to remove 3 large uterine fibroids, I also was treated in Jan. 2008 for hyperthyroidism which I just learned very likely caused my POF. Nice.

So, I'm going for a 3rd opinion - in a nutshell - I was released by former RE, went to a 2nd opinion had a really, really bad experience - the dead fish on their counter should have tipped me off but noooooo, and finally after 6 months of an on again off again meltdown, I'm going for a 3rd opinion.

Any feedback would be wonderful. Thanks!

    Hi Jen,

    Sorry to hear about your challenges. I liked Dr. Maureen Kelly best in the Penn Health for Women - Radnor practice. She was down to earth and I would say she had a good "bedside manner."

    Good Luck!

    Hi Sarah,

    Thanks so much. After doing some more research online, I don't see any reviews at all about Dr. Gracia, so I'm going to switch to Dr. Kelly, hopefully I can get an appointment around the same day/time.

    Take care,

    Jen

    I saw Dr. Pfeiffer there and really liked her. I actually went back in preparation for ttc#2 and even though I was still BFing and not able to start meds she was great in giving me a plan and prescriptions and everything I needed to start right away when I wanted.

    Dr Pffefier (sp) and Dr Kelly are both amazing.

    Dr. Pfeiffer is my RE too and I love her.  I have seen Dr. Kelly and Dr. Gracia along the way as well at monitoring or IUI appts and they seem great too.  GL!

    Thank you all so much. I'm hopeful for some reason now that my thyroid has been under control for 2 years, and I'm losing weight in a healthy way so that I can be back to a healthy weight for my height, and I'm taking better care of myself, that maybe, just maybe I'll have better luck this time. If not, we're considering a trip to Costa Rica and Panama for IVF and donor eggs.

    Thanks again!
