Weill Cornell Medicine-Reproductive Medicine, New York NY

My daughter was brought into this world because of Dr. Kilgman and staff. It was a long road to get here. I could not picture any other clinic to go to. Thank you all so much for making my miracle possible!

Dilcia (one of the nurse’s aids) was very kind and helpful and made a difficult process much smoother

I am currently pregnant with twin girls thanks to Dr. Elias and his wonderful staff. Thank you so much for everything you do, it has blessed our family so much!

Don't waste precious cycles with IUI. It's nonsense. Definitely don't bother with the 3 cycles of IUI before you can qualify to retrieve eggs with IVF. If you're in your 40s your days (and cycles with quality eggs) are VERY numbered. Trust us. We went down this road. For every story of fertility there are MUCH higher cases of failure than success. Consider that if you're in your mid 40.you're 9 out of 10 times likely to NOT be successful.

I take issue with a few aspects regarding Cornell’s storage policy. The storage charge for freezing eggs, embryos etc.is considerably higher than other facilities in the tristate area. For example, for Northwell, the first year is free and there is an $850 annual charge thereafter. Cornell has an initial fee of $1225 PLUS an additional fee of $1200 a year. Therefore, over 5 years, you will be paying about 47% MORE with Cornell. The facilities are providing the same service, so this kind of markup seems unreasonable.

Additionally, Cornell has an age restriction regarding how long they will store your eggs and embryos. Cornell will only keep your frozen eggs until you are FIFTY (50) years old. At this point Cornell will not longer keep them. This is at best an enormous inconvenience, and at worse an unreasonable and unacceptable age restriction based on gender and age. I understand the argument that there is increased risk regarding a woman getting pregnant after 50; however, with surrogacy now legal in New York State, this policy seems arbitrary and unduly burdensome against older woman. I wish I had previously been aware of these two matters, but I did not obtain this information until I was well in my cycle. I hope it helps others make the right choice for them.

I’m shocked at the negative reviews. I’ve had a pleasant experience thus far where staff (reception, phlebotomy, nurses and doctors) have treated me well and taken good care of my needs. They have always returned my calls and did their best to answer my questions. More than anything I am so grateful for the two young women who have made the nightmare of bloodwork go quickly and seamlessly, JJ and Rachel R.on the 6th floor of 1305 York Avenue. They are the best!

I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship with this clinic. No one is able to remember anything and they couldn't care less about patients.

The doctors and nurses are wonderful! But beware of the billing staff. They're unresponsive, unkind and extremely unhelpful. Not to mention their cash rates are 4x times higher than other clinics in the city.

Thanks so much Carlene for being so kind and helpful. The nurses and doctors are also great.

I tried to volunteer to be an egg donor. During the preliminary interview, I was asked if I had ever been a victim of abuse. I answered truthfully, that I had, and the counselor's entire demeanor changed. I was then disqualified on grounds that I did not pass their psychological requirements. To this day, I believe it was because of my disclosure of my history of abuse. I feel I was written off as 'damaged goods'. I wish I had known this was something that would be held against me, as I wouldn't have applied for the program only to be treated like a malfunctioning broodmare.
