Re: Fertility Specialist

  • IRH is hands down the absolute best in the region.  I had an ectopic this year and was treated there, and had my surgery done at Christ by them.  They are excellent.  PM me if you have any specific questions.
  • Loading the player...
  • We went to IRH and saw Dr. Burwinkel. We loved it - they are great (well, we didn't love that we had to see them... :-). We saw them for about a year and had a miscarriage (with a D&C at Christ) and then a successful pregnancy. Every step of the way was great. Feel free to PM if you want more info!
    Due with #1 in July 2014!
  • I also saw Dr Burwinkel. He was great!

  • I saw and  love Jennifer Thei. She was the only one that listed to me. Got Prego that same month! We went to Christ Dr. Michaels and it took forever to get prego. Switched and poof! :) NO one would listen to my crazy story or believed my on how I needed to get prego. Dr. Thei did she was amazing.

  • I'm a current patient at UC Center for Reproductive Health and have been very happy with our experience so far. We're just over half way through our first IVF cycle, so hopefully I'll have a success story to share soon. They have two offices - one in West Chester and one in Clifton.

    Feel free to PM me if you'd like more info on the practice.

    We saw Thie and Awadalla. Got pregnant with Awadalla on the first try and we are currently waiting to see if we'll have another Awadalla special in 9 months. He is the best.

  • I went to UC Health also, at Christ and West Chester. There are only 3 RE's and they are all really available and their nurses are so nice. The RE's do every u/s and are at every appt.
