  I was seeing and went through two IVF cycles with Dr. Peter Ahlering at SIRM-St. Louis.  I liked him and really liked his accessibility.

  I am now going to get a second opinion from Dr. Pearlstone.  Dr. Pearlstone was recommended by two of my friends that found success with him.  I have had one meeting so far and he was quite nice.  I am going to redo my previous testing starting next cycle.  The one problem with Dr. Pearlstone is that it can take a long time to get an appointment.  He limits the number of patients he sees so that he can provide very personalized attention to each active patient.  Consequently, there is usually a pretty long waiting list.

  I have heard good things about, but have not seen, Dr. Ratts at Wash U.

  Good luck!

  I went to Dr. Odem at WashU and he was good.  Pretty straightforward.  Amber Cooper actually did my retrieval and I think that if I ever do this again I'd go with her.  I like her personality and she seems really smart.  They're all good there and their stats are a little deflated because they never turn anyone away.

  I see Dr. Keller.  I'm pretty she she is with Dr. Odem.  I like them so far.  Amy did my IUI.

  I have heard great things about Dr. Witten.  Three of my friends have seen him and all 3 of them had success with him.
