can someone recommend an RE?
Can someone recommend an RE?
Also, do you have to be referred by your current Dr to go to an RE?
TIA

Dr.Braverman is amazing and gets TONS of raves on the infertility board. He's located in Woodbury. As far as getting a referral, that depends on how your insurance works.

I am actually seeing him and I did need a referral. If you need one you can get one from your primary care physician.

Re: can someone recommend an RE?
I'm pretty sure whether you need a referral depends on your insurance and not the doctor.
My insurance is Empire BCBS PPO and don't need a referral to see a specialist.
I have no opinion on Dr. Braverman one way or the other, but he does get a lot of positive reviews on the IF board, though there have been some less than favorable reviews as well. When I started searching for a RE, I felt like I HAD to see him because of all the raves. Then I checked and he wasn't part of my insurance plan, and I was a little disappointed at first.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dr. Hershlag at The Center for Human Reproduction at NSUH in Manhasset. Everyone there was fantastic, I cannot say enough about them. Everything is done right there on site.
If you have any questions, please feel free to FM me any time.
I wish you the best of luck in your journey. I found it very hard to take that step to see a RE even though I knew in my head it was time. In my heart it was a little hard to accept that we needed help to achieve something that our bodies were "meant to do." Once I got past that, I have to admit that seeking help was the best decision we made!

I see Dr. Braverman. He's great. As the other ladies said, you only need a referral if your insurance requires it.

I agree with all of this. I have seen Dr. Chu and Dr. Hershlag at this practice. Best decision I made during the TTC process. Everyone there- nurses, techs, etc. are so caring. I actually cried when I 'graduated' from there after conceiving my son. Heading back now as we are trying for #2. Good luck!
