Doctor help
I am so upset I was all set to make an appt. with Dr. Rosenfeld and I read on their website that they don't take Empire Government Insurance.
Does anyone have any experience with these doctors?
Steven Brenner Kristen Cain kathleen Droesch Mitchell Essig Daniel Kenigsberg Michael Lydic Ellen Miller Steven Palter Joseph Pena Jane Ruman Maria Saketos Gabriel San Roman James Stelling Linda Sung
Sorry it's so long, but I did some research and decided I was going to try Dr. Rosenfeld then to find out he's not in my plan. I guess i should of checked insurance first.

Re: Doctor help
Brenner, Droesch and Kenigsberg are all part of LI-IVF, where I go now. I like this office a lot. Good hours and nice girls in the office.
I went to Dr. Lydic and Dr. Bronson previously. Great doctors, bad office hours and snotty receptionist.
HTH!

Re: Doctor help
I also went to Lydic and Bronson. Office housrs were okay for me, but that is because I worked very nearby. I prefer Bronson of the two, but both are good.
PS. Annie the receptionaist is gone

Re: Doctor help
I just wanted to add, that the office I go to now (LI-IVF - Kenigsberg, Droesch and Brenner) are participating with Empire as a "center of excellence" which means you don't pay copays. And believe me, those copays add up! I don't know about you, but my copay is now $18...so when I was going to Lydic, he did a sono and an office visit, it would cost me $36 every time! Sometimes I'd go 2-3 times/week!! And then have to pay $18 to get blood taken on top of that!

Interesting. I was charged a copay every single time I went. I think I'm going to look into getting a refund!

Maybe because she had a major issue with the skill of speaking normally Although now they have Darlene who has been snotty to me at times. I had to give her a talkin to

Re: Doctor help
I currently go to RS of NY were Dr. San Roman, Cain, Stelling , Sekatos and Sung are. My Dr. is San Roman, but I don't always see him. They have rotating schedules so you never really know what doctor you are going to see on what day.
I got to the Mineola office and have no complaints. I am currently doing an IVF cycle with them.

Re: Doctor help
I am also going to LI-IVF and seeing Kenigsberg. I have dealt with him almost all the time (not for sonos and blood, but transfers, retrievals, water sono, etc.). I really like him, although I've heard some complain about his bedside manner.
Dr. Brenner did my last transfer and he is a sweetheart.

I do too. They take the insurance, but you have to pay your deductable. I pay $300/yr and then nothing else. I even did IVF and going to do FET, and haven't paid anything else.

Re: Doctor help
Dr. Essig was my OB/GYN many years ago. He had a regular OB/GYN practice and he also treated infertility patients. I do not know if he still operates that way. I really liked him but I was only using him for routine exams to monitor fibroids before I had surgery. I remember that he was the IF doctor for a well known baseball player and the player's wife, and they got pregnant with him.
LI/IVF is who I always recommend, though. I consulted briefly with Dr. Kenigsberg. Also, Dr. Kathleen Droesh is the wife of my OB, Dr. James Droesch and I sing his praise non-stop.
