    Dr Rinaudo was friendly and says "thank you so much". However I just didn't feel comfortable around him or feel assured during the egg retrieval process. I asked a question post procedure and he was quick to dismiss.

    Visit felt rushed. Overall I didn't feel fully informed about next steps. For example I had to ask if I would be placed on medication which I would be. Taking time sensitive medication is a huge part of the process that I would expect my doctor to tell me up front. I wouldn't have known to ask If I didn't do my own research about the procedure online. I also needed to get blood work done but that order wasn't placed for me. I had to ask the team to place the order the next day. Lastly this comment applies to the team - there's inconsistency in information provided in their email vs the pdf documents that are provided which makes understanding instructions next steps etc very confusing.

    Dr. Rinaudo is an incredible physician and I have been under his care for the past 6 months and his decision making and treatment plan have been 100% in my best interest and best possible outcomes for a pregnancy. He and his staff are a well run part of the reproductive endocrinology department with excellent communication.

    Overall very good experience about procedure day. Everything went very smoothly and every person interacted with is very friendly and professional. Since the operating doctor is different than treatment plan doctor and not a choice of the patient hard to determine whether to recommend doctor or not.

    Care providers are very attentive and they make me feel at easy and assured me that I am in good hands.

    Very tailored visit was able to get my questions answered efficiently

    The doctor was very nice and supportive. My one frustration is when I mentioned that I might have a bacterial infection he directed me to my PCP but did not mention until the day of the procedure that it would be a contraindication to placing the planned IUD. Otherwise he was wonderful.

    The only bad thing is I was in significant pain after and dod not expect that afterward since I have had this done before at a different facility and since I had so few follicles. The follow up advice I didn't think was super complete. Other the providers were super nice
