  I saw Dr Burger for the majority of our infertility process. Shes thorough, warm, and caring. I loved her.

   Unfortunately TFC wouldn't do an FET with our donor embryos, so we had to go through another clinic but Dr Burger, the nurses, billing people are all top notch. And I'm a tough customer to please. Good luck!

  ******ticker warning******

  I have been a TFC patient for almost 2 years.  I started with Dr. S, then moved on to Dr. H, but Dr. B did two of my four IVF transfers (I've also seen Dr. V for monitoring apointments on occasion and he did an IUI for me once my Dr. S was out of town).  I really like Dr. B, and in general the practice is incredibly well run and professional (I'm really learning to appreciate that now that I'm with a regular OB!).  My BFF was also a patient of Dr. B's and she always felt like she was kind of awkward, but I've always really liked her.  She's kinda nerdy, but being smart is partially what makes her a good doctor!  Hopefully, liz4paws will chime in here as well because she also has experience with TFC. 

  I don't really have any advice for you on questions to ask, because appropriate questions really depend on your diagnosis.  Good luck!!

  Thank you all very much! I'm not sure how to add all of my information to the bottom of my profile like y'all! I'm a newbie. I had an HSG performed January
  21st, and was told my left fallopian tube is blocked. I'm also a Type 1 Diabetic. My husband and I have been trying for about 18 months. I'm 28, and he is 30. My regulary OBGYN hasn't been very helpful or encouraging. I'm very nervous! As everyone else here, all I've ever wanted is a child of my own!

  Me 28 DH 30 Married 08-11-07 TTC since 07/11 HSG 01-21-13 Left FTB Seeing RE 1-28-13 RE 1-28-13 Both tubes blocked LAP surgery 2-15-13 Both tubes removed Started IVF #1 June 2013 Meds: BCP, Lupron, Gonal-F, Ovidrel, Medrol, Doxycycline

  Hi there!
  I started going to TFC in August of 2012 after we had had two m/c and had been TTC for over two years at that point. My regular OB is Dr. Cowan at AAOBGYN. My doctor at TFC is Silverberg, but Dr. Burger did our second IUI in November and did our baseline ultrasound with our current IUI cycle and was super nice both times. I really liked her. In fact, I have seen all the doctors there when Dr. S was out of town and loved all of them.
  PM me if you have any questions!!! I had a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy surgery with them in October as well as two IUI cycles since. Good luck to you!!!
