Default Looking for an RE in Boston

HI There...

I was just informed by my OBGYN that I need to find a RE to "deal with my issus". This is all getting so frustrating and out of hand. I am in the medical field (veterinarian) so Drs think that they don't need to explain things to me at all. I am very emotional about this afraid and concerned, so I am looking for someone good, and someone who is compassionate.

Thanks so much!
Maija

Are you looking for an RE for TTC or someone to manage your PCOS? I can tell you my experience for each one...

Actually a little of both, but mostly ttc.

Thanks,

I've been going to Boston IVF for over a year now, and have done 3 IUIS and 4 IVFs with them. I would say that on the whole I have been very happy with the care I receive(d) except for a few small communication glitches that I suppose could have happened anywhere. I'm just now thinking that it might be time for me to start looking into other options - but that's just because I'm thinking a fresh set of eyes might be good given my unique situation, not because of any bad experiences.

Not sure where you are located, but I go to the Waltham center, and see Dr. Penzias. Boston IVF has some other locations as well for monitoring and appointments, but all procedures are done at the Waltham location.

As for managing the PCOS, if I was not trying to conceive I would probably go back to an endocrinologist that I met last November at Boston Medical Center who has a special interest in PCOS - her name is Dr. Andrea Coviello and I had a very positive appointment with her, just not at the stage right now where I only want to manage the PCOS.

Hope that info helps. Feel free to PM me if you want any more specifics...
