Patient Testimonials
Patient Testimonials - We love hearing from our patients! Here are some who want to share their experience at NYFS.
I've been to other clinics and not had this experience. After speaking with Dr. Batzofin, I think I've just met the best Doctor in this field! K.B.
Hi Teresa, Thank you... I appreciate the ability to correspond with you all regarding my fertility issues. It is such a blessing to have thorough care regarding the circumstance. I already feel comfortable and the staff is very warm. I finally feel I’m getting answers and can't ask for more. Sincerely, Natalie
Dr Batzofin - Thank you so much for this truly thoughtful email. It is enormously helpful. It was a real pleasure to meet you, and already the experience is a healing one from the experience we had at our previous clinic. R.T.
Hi Dr. Batzofin, It was so nice to meet you today. We appreciate your methodology: you have provided a lot of interesting information and have encouraged us to ask questions. Thank you for that. S & C
Hi Teresa, Thank you for taking the time and reaching out to me. That is very kind of you. I'm just reviewing all the documents that Dr. Batzofin e-mailed me last night. Sid and I have lots of reading to do :) We look forward working with all of you. My husband and I both felt that our visit went very well yesterday from the minute we walked into the office until we left. The staff we met have been wonderful and welcomed us with a warm smile. It's a very big difference from where I did my first "failed" IVF cycle. I have an appointment next Tuesday to get a fluid ultra sound done so hopefully we can meet then. Have a good evening! Donna
Dr. Goudas, It was very nice to meet you too. You answered all of my questions and your staff is wonderful! Nancy
Dear Dr. Batzofin, This e-mail is long overdue, please forgive us...but when my sister came to me and said she needed help conceiving there was no other doctor that came to mind but YOU! Attached a few pictures of our twins Sammy and Zoey with their older sister Erica. I hope all is well!! All our Best, Judy and George
Adam is a joy and looks just like his father. Whether we make a second attempt or not, I shall remain ever grateful to you for our son!
Dr Goudas, Thank you so much for taking the time yesterday to provide me with this information. Your patience and friendliness is very much appreciated.
Thank You for your extremely individual, upfront, & caring approach. K.B.
Dear Dr. B. and Dr. Goudas, Thank you again for reviewing our case and giving us hope of having our own baby. SK
Dave and I were finishing up our second year working with a fertility clinic in our area when we heard about Dr. Batzofin and his team at New York Fertility Services. The couple we talked with spoke so highly of NYFS but we were terrified to leave the clinic we had been working with – after all, they knew every test that we’d ever had – we’d have to start at the beginning if we moved to a new clinic. So we continued working with that clinic for 8 more months before we decided that we had nothing to lose – now in our mid-40’s, we felt we were running out of time. We contacted Dr. Batzofin’s office and six months after walking through NYFS’s front door, we were pregnant. Dr. Batzofin treated our case with a specific approach geared towards our fertility needs, not a generic broad spectrum approach that our previous clinic had taken. And his embryologist treated every single embryo under his care with caution and passion – we heard directly from John about our embryo’s development – not from a station nurse who was typically not familiar with all of our loss. And the office team did everything within their power to help make the process as special as possible for us – the hardest part of working with NYFS for us was letting them go as we moved our care to an OB/GYN near our home. We still cannot believe it has happened for us and are thankful every single day for Dr. Batzofin and the folks at New York Fertility Services.

I talk about you with everybody...people like you don't exist!!say hi to everybody in the clinic!! :)))) Roberta
Hi Teresa, Thank you so much for the e-mail. My interactions with New York Fertility Services have been lovely and I truly look forward to working with you all. Have a great weekend!

Hi Teresa-
Thank you for your warm welcome; I'm already in love with the staff. I look forward to seeing you again when we start our cycle!
Denise
Dr. Batzofin,
I appreciate your personal note. As you know, fertility makes even the least superstitious person think again, but I really thought things would've turned out a lot differently, too. I am certainly eager to try for Maria(and James) again. For sure. And, Maria has expressed the desire to try again as well. Maria is so warm and optimistic that it is impossible not to like her....I am thrilled that she asked me to help her- she is such a sweetie! And, as I'd mentioned several times to Kristina, your office staff and you, too, of course, are probably the nicest, kindest, most thorough fertility people that I have worked with over the years. Sincerely. You are a pleasure.
Thank you again for writing!
Jennifer (Surrogate)
Dear Dr. Batzofin,
It was very nice to meet you today. Hopefully Jerry and I are not in for a long journey, but if we are, I feel very comfortable and confident that we are in great hands with you and your staff. I was nervous for today's appointment and your friendly and welcoming staff, along with your kindness and humor, put me at ease immediately. The documents you attached were interesting. Jerry and I will talk tonight about any questions we may have. I'm feeling very positive about this, though, and am looking forward to getting some insight into what is going on.
Best,Annie
Hello Dr. Batzofin,
Thank you for taking the time in meeting with my husband and I and for reviewing my case. I am confident with your expertise and treatment plan, our dream will come true. I look forward in meeting with you in a few weeks to go over the results from our blood work and to proceeding with our cycle.
Warm Regards, Bridget
HI, Dr. Batzofin,
It was lovely speaking with you this morning, I appreciate the personalization of you calling yourself and the organization of your practice. This is by far the best experience I have had so far and I have made three donations! I look forward to working with you and the NYFS team.
Nicole (Egg Donor)
Hi Doctor Batzofin,
Corin and I are just back home from NYC. Thank you for the chance to help us with starting a family at our old age. Probable - no, possible - yes, had to give it a try. The outcome was very disappointing and hit Corin hard. Being typical Chinese, her emotions are private but run deep on the inside. So as we recover ourselves from it all over the next few months most likely we'll try again using a donor egg. Everyone on your staff through out the process were amazingly compassionate and caring to both of us. Thanks to everyone for their kindness.
Regards,
John and Corin
Dear Colleen,
Ideally, I would love to work with you again. Your facility is amazing, and the service was phenomenal. I cannot say enough good things about NYFS!!!
Casey (egg donor)
Thanks for arranging the skype consult, Teresa! It was very helpful, especially to know I could proceed even while I am living in London. I look forward to working with you and your team. Jeannie
Hi Colleen,
Good news - I'm pregnant!!! I had 2 blood tests: one on Friday with 346 mIU/ml and one today (Monday) with 839 mIU/ml - I'll keep you updated during the next weeks. Please tell Dr Batzofin and the whole team "Thank you" with all my heart!!
M.R.



A BIG thank you to the most amazing staff we've ever met! Each one of you has made our experience something SO wonderful! Each one of you has treated us so kindly, so warmly and made us feel so special. We ar truly forever grateful for all you have done for us. All our best, C&L
Dear Dr. Batzofin, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for making my process that I went through much easier being around such amazing and caring people. I am looking forward to my next step with such a great group. As sad as it was, I am very hopeful, lucky and grateful I have options most people would not have. I have such a caring group with me and I look forward to my next stage with you. R&G
Hi Dr Batzofin, Thank you so very much for taking so much time with us on our first visit. You are right that the minute Martin and I walked into your office, it was very clear to us that you were different and we felt so grateful to have found such a wonderful Doctor with an incredible practice. I love the combination of both Eastern and Western medicine and you clearly have a gift for working with patients. We feel very blessed. We will take your suggestions with all that you recommend and are very excited about the next steps. Warmest, Hannah
Hi, Dr. Batzofin and Teresa, We just cannot thank you enough!!! Our son is the most precious gift you could have given us! We think of you everyday when we look at him and are in awe at how much our lives have changed because of you and your wonderful staff. We were truly blessed when we found you! Greetings from Vienna, M.B.
Dr. B, Thank you again for your compassion, kindness and humor throughout this process and to your entire team as well! I'm somewhat relieved actually this was not the cycle and looking forward in catching up on sleep and fun this summer. Thank you for the recommendation on the books/reading and will look into them. I know the next cycle in the FALL will be successful!! I’ll see you in a few weeks!
It’s awesome that you guys are so sweet and kind. I called a couple of other clinics before you and they were cold and not interested in taking the time to explain things to me. You are so patient and answered all of my questions and I really appreciate that. It’s awkward to call and have this kind of conversation with someone you have never met but you made me feel so comfortable! Thank you for that! Samantha
Hi Teresa, What an office!! I am so sad that I did not meet you when I was in today. What an experience! I made the right decision to make this appointment. You started it off with a kind, gentle and welcoming way that felt like I was being welcomed with a warm hug...imagine you can do that over the phone! With appreciation from the bottom of my heart, Lucy
Thank you very much for everything! I've been very impressed at how organized you guys are and how prompt you are in replying to emails. I am looking forward to my IFV cycle next month! LW
Dear Dr. Batzofin, Thank you for taking the time to reach out, sharing, understanding, and making me feel comfortable. There are so many things that are running in my head and more importantly in my heart thanks to you. I have to put my thoughts together and write a proper thank you but I had to reach out immediately to let you know that you have soothed a part of my soul. I am grateful for your gentle way with me. In the short time we spent together, I could feel that you are a person who sees things with his heart and for this reason, I know that I have been blessed to walk through the doors of your office. For whichever way the course of this journey goes... I must say THANK YOU right this moment!! With gratitude and appreciation from the bottom of my heart, D. E.
Hey there, Dr. Batzofin and fabulous team!! I am doing GREAT! Just had our second level ultrasound - baby is perfect! Very active, healthy looking brain and all four chambers of the heart - couldn't ask for anything more! I have not felt him/her yet but the doctor yesterday said it is only a matter of days! I think about you all every time I realize how lucky we are for this experience!! I'll keep you posted on our progress! Thanks for everything! You, Dr. Batzofin and your staff are miracle workers and truly made our dreams come true! We will be forever grateful! Debbie and Rod
Thank you so much Teresa...it was so wonderful to speak to you and I felt immediately like you understood what I am going through! I cant wait to meet the NYF Family. I will print the forms out and bring it in the office in person if its ok because I work only 3 blocks away...so i can sneak out lunch time. I am looking forward to get started...I am soooo excited and feel positive about this. I went to the FB page and loooved all the baby photos...they are so adorable... :) Katie V.
Hi Dr. Batzofin, Thank you for such an amazing consultation with you! You have an amazing nurse for my blood draw – very gentle - and an even more amazing staff. The warmth from you and your staff makes me happy and comfortable. I'm so anxious for the IUI. We look forward to seeing you soon, Debbie and Julie
Dr. Batzofin,
Thank you for the follow-up and I'm looking forward to working with you and your team! As always based on my visit today with you, I know I'm in great hands with you and your amazing team! You gave me very important insights/perspectives and made me realize a lot. I met with Kayleigh this past Friday and she did an amazing job reviewing my upcoming calendar for meds. You guys are great! AA
Hi Teresa, Thank you for your help and warm, positive, sunny self! Bonnie
Hi ,Dr. B. Thank you for everything! We're hoping for the best and will be sending you more patients as I really appreciated how well you explained everything. Jessie
Hey teresa. It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday. Staff and doctors were great. I’m so happy I found you and am able to freeze my sperm so I can have kids one day after my chemo. You guys give me hope! Thank you! D.A.
It was nice to meet you as well Dr Batzofin. We were impressed with your analysis and we thought your office had a very comfortable feel. We are reading through the material now that you sent, and also evaluating the costs. We are leaning heavily towards doing this soon since the costs are not too high. We will talk to you next week about starting our cycle. Thank you for your kindness! T&J
Dear Teresa, Thank you very much for all your help today . There is just one question I have other wise I am set and determined to do this with New York Fertility Services. I feel no other company can compare to the amazement you placed on me today. Me and my family would be more then grateful to do such an important thing with Dr. Batzofin. The question is if we would be able to set up the first appointment and all that follows after next month? We will be ready to start then! Thank you, thank you!
Hi Teresa, It was nice speaking with you earlier. I appreciate the prompt follow-ups by all. I look forward to meeting you as well when I have my consult with Dr. Batzofin. Regards, Angie
Dr. Batzofin, Thank you SO very much for the birthday wishes!...and for helping me to get my everything functioning again!:)
We cannot begin to express to you, our deepest gratitude, for allowing us the opportunity to work with you on this journey. Leo and I are both SO grateful to have even had the chance to try and make this possible. You have taken such good care of me, even though I may not be an "ideal" candidate...I've had such a lovely experience with a smooth cycle. Of course, every patient you see, wants to walk away with a family. And we are no different...but we want you to know, that Leo and I both feel, that it already was a dream come true to work with you. Best, Cynthia
Dearest Dr. Batzofin, I don't know how to express my appreciate to you, you give me a chance to let my dream come true! I am so so so happy. I rest on bed all the time now, so I always thought I am so lucky to met you! Thank you very much – you give me the best time in my life. I will always miss you and your team, your clinic!Best regards, R.S.
Dear Dr. Batzofin, Thank you so much for everything, you are all so kind, clever, and lovely. I will update you every month or so, and will definitely bring the babies to see you in the winter after they arrive! L.B.
hello teresa,

For what its worth, Dr. B: I found your process to be very comfortable(no stress). I'm not a doctor but think that plays a big part in getting pregnant. Susan and I were very impressed and happy with our experience with your group. So different from the other center where we felt alone in a big factory! Again thank you for all your help!! Joe
HI, Colleen, I felt the loving energy at the office and I also felt relieved after leaving the office – knowing I’m in good hands with Dr. Batzofin. I will see you soon. I can’t wait to get started! LMP
Hi Teresa - Thanks so much for your lovely email. I saw Kristina today for my blood test and spoke with Melanie on the phone about the insurance, so I'm feeling pretty positive about everything. We plan to do a cycle of IUI with meds for my next cycle which will be around the middle of August. Have a great weekend and we look forward to meeting you soon! Kind regards, Carol
Hello Ms. Randolph, Thank you so much for replying so detailed and quickly. Pls let me think about it for a while and then contact you. Thank you again! your job is wonderful! Zara
Dear Dr. Batzofin, It was very nice to meet you too. Thanks for all the documents, we will go through them and will come back to you in case we had further questions. We will be away in the next 4 weeks but will definitely be in touch when we are back to NYC at the beginning of July so we can start the process. Thanks again for your time and advice. Kind Regards, Zoey
Hi Viviana! Thank you for your caring email. :) I am feeling well. We had lunch, went home, and i watched TV and rested. Sterling and I are going to discuss the next steps and whether we are proceeding with our cycle next month or the following month. I will email or call you to let you know. Thanks to everyone in your office for making me feel comfortable today! Hope you have a great weekend, Kylie
Dear Dr. Batzofin, Thank you very much for your kind support, advice and helping my dream come true. I am looking forward to working with you in the near future. I am also looking forward to receiving the package price from your office. Everyone was so nice and friendly – you, too! Sincerely, Nancy
Likewise, Dr. Batzofin – we really enjoyed meeting you! Thanks so much for sending us the relevant information; I guess we have lots of homework / reading to do!!!! We will most certainly be in touch upon return from our Summer holiday and look forward to working with you soon. With best regards, Paul and Violet
Hi Dr. Batzofin, I hope that this finds you well! Things are going well on this end and, again, I can't believe how fast time is flying by. It's more difficult than I thought to put into words the joy that you've given us. But because I want everyone to know how wonderful you are, here it goes: From the moment that I called Dr. Batzofin's office, I was met with a friendly voice who wanted to help. Immediately, I was given an appointment and emailed information. Upon entering the waiting room at New York Fertility Services, that same welcoming attitude was present. Being greeted by your first name as you walk in the door and just the personal feeling of the staff made me feel as though I was their only patient and no one else mattered. It was a stressful time, but never once did I worry about the care that I was receiving from the moment that I met Dr. Batzofin. Dr. Batzofin spent as much time as my husband and I needed to have our questions answered and our concerns addressed-not only during our initial meeting, but throughout our time there. He was more than willing to sit with us or answer any questions via email. Once my diagnosis of PCOS was confirmed, we tried a round of IUI during which I overstimulated. As uncomfortable and discouraging as this was, neither he nor my husband and I gave up hope. A few months later we started the IVM process and luckily we became pregnant. Being able to see and hear the heartbeat of our baby was, at the time, the most magical moment and one that we will never forget. Our son, Benjamin has given us so much joy and is honestly the greatest blessing in our life. His smile lights up his face and the room and fills our hearts with more love than we ever knew existed. We will never be able to say enough wonderful things about our experience with Dr. Batzofin and his New York Fertility Services staff nor will we be able to thank them enough. Thank you with all our heart! Ariana
Hi Dr. B, How have you been? Hope you are well! We are doing great and Olivia is growing every day - what a beautiful baby girl she is. I attach a pic for you to see her. We are ready to try to give her a little brother or sister! We are really grateful for all your care and you are the only doctor we trust. Thank you! Deborah & Jim
Hi Teresa, It was a nice conversation with Dr. Joel, very iinformative. I am ready to see what the next step will be and anxious to start my cycle! JC
Hi Tiana, Thank you so much. Lauren is doing well thanks - I can't believe you remembered us! That alone made me so happy to know that this practice is super personal. Thank you all for that and we look forward to working with you! Julie
Hello Teresa, Thank you for your kind email, I have been very pleased with your office and the doctor, your office is truly amazing. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with your group. We will be in touch Take Care, C.M.
Thank you so much Teresa. We love the place. We are figuring out when we will start our treatment with you once we’re back in NY. We can’t wait to get started! Annie and Marcus
Hi Teresa, Thank you for your email. Your staff is warm and caring and also very personal when addressing the staff. I love that they remember me and make me feel comfortable. I am a same sex couple and I am not infertile but I love the patience and treatment I receive at this clinic and with Dr. Batzofin. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you and to working with Dr. Batzofin and your staff. Warmly, Donna
Dr. Batzofin, Thank you for getting back to me and for sending the information. I will get back to you about our final decision but I feel my husband and I are leaning toward the one cycle of own egg to one cycle of donor egg. Even if small chance is there, I would like to try. Better to try than to wonder later on "what if". Even if in reality all indications and logic point one toward donor egg, still if there is a chance I will feel good that I tried all options. My heart is wide open to donor egg. To me, egg of donor plays big role for my dreams and small role once baby is implanted and becomes fetus. Once umbilical chord is formed and I am feeding and nourishing that child, it is mine and we are one. All thoughts one has about it not being "my egg" vanish. I am so grateful to have that option. Thank you and I will let you know our decision after holiday. We look forward to working with you and your wonderful staff, whether it's for our egg or donor egg. Best K.A.
Dr. Batzofin, Thank you so much for your time today. My wife is crazy about you and I know we’ve finally found the right place so thanks for being honest and pointing us in the right direction. We look forward to working with you! O.G.
Hi Dr Batzofin, Thank you so so much! We are thrilled and have you and your entire team to thank. We had such a special and positive experience at your clinic and can't be more appreciative of the expertise of everyone involved. Viviana has been incredible - her communication and support throughout this whole process has been amazing. Will keep you updated on our pregnancy. Many, many thanks, Gemma and Rupert
Dear Teresa, I want to say thank you so much! We had a great impression of the clinic from the moment we walked in, very nice staff and Dr. Batzofin was wonderful! We look forward to working with all of you and starting our family! J & D
Dear Doctor Batzofin, Sorry for being a little bit late in thanking you for our beautiful son but we have just come back from the mountain. You are always in our mind for the beautiful gift you have given us! We wish you a Happy New Year! We hope to come back to New York City and it will be a big pleasure to see you again! Lots of Love, D, M, L and T
Hi, Teresa, Excellent!!!!! I appreciate your help and setting up my consultation - it means a lot to have such a quick response. You have been the nicest I have spoken to throughout this journey. I will have forms to you by tomorrow. I look forward to meeting you in person and to working with you, Dr. Batzofin and the entire NYFS Team! Jessica

Andrea
What you do is a God Send, Dr. Batzofin! You do such a wonderful service for people! We owe our son to you. We don’t know what we would do without our son! Thank you with all of our hearts!
Thanks again, Dr. Batzofin. I felt very comfortable with you and your staff!
Hello Dr. B, Thanks do much for your time, talent, warmth and humor! This morning I had a wonderful and I pray fortuitous conversation with Jillian. After I told her of your embryo adoption opportunity, she told me that there may be more embryos of the kind she and her partner used. I would love to know if there are enough embryos and more about the sperm and egg donors! Thanks so much and I look forward to accepting the precious embryos that your wonderful patients have so generously donated! Trisha
Hi Dr Batzofin, Thank you so so much! We are thrilled and have you and your entire team to thank. We had such a special and positive experience at your clinic and can't be more appreciative of the expertise of everyone involved.

Thank you Dr. Batzofin!!! You are an incredible doctor and person!! We are looking forward to working with you. The final piece is the financial component. I will be contacting Colleen Ryan to see what our costs will be for our treatment. Thank you again. Have a great Evening!! Everyone has been sooo fantastic in communicating!
Hi Teresa, It was great talking with you over phone and your response through email, certainly the information you provided is informative and impressing me to consult further with Dr Batzofin. I will appreciate if you can fix appointment within this week. I am ok with the copay amount for consultation and also further for treatment. I will bring the form which you sent through mail along with me. Looking forward to hear from you soon. Thanks in Anticipation, Verma Mellon
Hi Dr.Batzofin, I just wanted to say thank you so much for meeting with us yesterday. We were so excited to meet you. You made us feel very comfortable. Thank you so much for your time - it was very helpful and we will be seeing you soon. We so appreicate the discount you give for military since it will be the only way we can afford to try and start our family! God Bless you! :)
HI, Dr. Batzofin, We loved you and your staff! We were really "doc shopping" yesterday as your office was the very first we saw. Little did we know we'd find the right fit for us so fast. Guess God is on our side! Happy Holidays! Susan
Teresa, Thank you so much for your time and patience. I truly appreciate it. I am looking forward to meeting you and Dr Batzofin on Tues. I will send the paperwork back to you prior to the visit. Have a great rest of the week and weekend. Connie
Dear Dr. Batzofin, It was a great pleasure to meet you and your team the other day, and thank you very much for your message and useful documents. We are both very excited about this possibility. With your very helpful and easy-to-understand explanations and warm support by all of the staffs in your team, we feel that we clearly understand the procedure. We are expecting M's period in the next few days, so we will call you on the first day of the period to schedule blood tests and ultrasound. We can't wait to get started! Best wishes, T & M
Dear Dr Batzofin, Sorry for being a little bit late to send you this sincere thank you but we just come back from the mountain. You are always in our mind and heart, as we are so grateful for our son! We wish you a happy year and life. Lots of Love, Diana & Martin PS We hope to have soon the opportunity to come to NYC. If you wish it'll be a big pleasure to meet you again
Hi Teresa, Thanks for your email. Do you know its your first call that made us to come visit your center? We liked Dr. Batzofin. The other people that we met in your office are also nice. We look forward to working with you soon, so as to make our dreams come true! Cath
Dear Dr. Batzofin & everyone! Wishing you all a joyful holiday week! Dr. Batzofin, I'm truly surprised to receive this email just a few minutes after my appointment, especially with so much info attached! Wow!!! ~ I finally finished reading the 9 of them! Thank you very much. So...quite unexpected...now I need to explore my options and rely on your professional (and perhaps emotional) help. :) 41 & newly single! Thank you & I look forward to exploring what my options are. (quite upsetting to find that I fall into 40+ group...medical group.):)) Sherry
HI, Dr. Batzofin, We really appreciate all of your efforts and those of your team. We knew going into this cycle that it was a very long shot but it was one that we found irresistible to pass up. We look forward to the next step in our journey. Mike and Joanie
Dear Dr. B., It was a pleasure to meet you and everyone at your office this evening. I really appreciate your thorough, prompt follow up and the time you have taken to provide me with a "plain language" summary of my case. We look forward to starting the process next month! A & C
Dear Dr. Batzofin, I am encouraged by our meeting as well as the aggressive treatment schedule you outlined during our visit. I will read through all the materials you have provided in this email and come back with any questions. In the meantime I will plan to proceed with the tests you are recommending and also schedule testing for my husband when he is back in the country later this month. Many thanks again. I look forward to taking the next steps! Best Regards, Nicole

"Dear Dr. Batzofin & staff personnel, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff for everything you have all done to get us to this point. Ever since I started with your clinic and have seen your practices and learned your approach, I have been very convinced that we would be successful with this journey. I know science has done it's job and it's time for mother nature to do the rest. I feel confident my body will endure an excellent pregnancy just as I have two times previously and before we know it, the intended parents will have their bundle of joy. It wouldn't be possible without you and your staff. Working with the girls has been unbelieveable, I have enjoyed them very much. I hope I wasn't too much of a pain at times with my questions but it seems when you venture into the unknown having questions is a natural instinct. Again thank you. I look forward to continuing my journey with you. God bless! All my love, Jennifer P. -Surrogate"
"Hello~ Thank you! And yes, we were very pleased after meeting Dr. Batzofin and the rest of the office. We will be in touch! Have a great day!" ~D. B.
"Thank you for all your help. It really is refreshing to have my questions answered so quickly." K.M.
"It’s so nice to meet you all. My husband and I are looking forward to the IVF process and right away felt very comfortable with Dr. Batzofin and the staff. We were greeted with warmth and smiles, this has been truly uplifting especially since we are going through a lot of emotional stress from the cancer. We look forward to our next visit." V.B.
"Dear Dr. Batzofin, We thank you for all that you have done for us. You have been a wonderful doctor to both me and my husband. You have been our "sounding board" as well as our savior in terms of diagnosing my endometriosis and referring me to the very best surgeon possible. For that we can never thank you enough. You had given me answers to something I knew relatively nothing about and then gave me my health back before it declined even more so. We wish you, your family and your practice the very best. We will definitely keep in touch and let you know how everything is progressing. Warmly, K and S"
Dear Dr. Batzofin, "Over two years have passed since we were in your office peering on the screen watching our little embryo. Now that little embryo is 19 months old! We are ready and hoping to get pregnant again. What should we do next ? Come into your office for blood work when I have my next period or something else? Should we try on our own for a bit before we come back? Please let me know what you think because we truly value your opinion. From the bottom of our hearts, we can’t thank you enough for this wonderful gift of our beautiful child! We look forward to seeing everyone soon."
"Hi Dr. Batzofin! Just thought that I'd drop you a quick note to say hi. It's hard to believe that our son is already 5 months old! Time is flying by! He's rolling all over the place and trying to do more than he can! Hopefully I'll make it in to introduce you to him soon! I'm still trying to figure him out-it seems like every time I think I'm onto something, he changes!! I know that's not surprising! As always, thank you so much for making our family complete!"
"Dear Dr Joel Batzofin, I have been meaning to write to you for the past 2++ years. I was planning to write an elaborate thank you for a wonderful encouraging phone call i received from you in 2005, which sent me back on my path to parenthood. Best intentions aside... I must apologize for not writing to your sooner. Just to jog your memory (cos i am sure you have helped hundreds)...I sent you an 11 page medical report from Malaysia explaining my long battle with fertility. I remember your jovial reassuring voice explaining to me for 45 minutes not less, how in your view I should not give up and that a case such as mine required me to face the challenge of trial and error. Even though we probably sensed mid way in the conversation that it was going to be a tad difficult for me to make it to NY to consult you in person, you continued to talk to me in a way I appreciate and will never forget. I remember your confident voice saying that many in my position just had to keep going. And the gentle reminder that this was a journey that required mental, physical and emotional commitment. We spoke in August 2005 I believe coz I was just told by my Malaysian doctor in May 2005 that he didn’t know what else to do with me. That is when my web friends told me about your establishment. Unfortunately my idea of coming to New York was stymied by the reality that it was a tad too far to realistically do any treatments but I congratulate myself for exploring my options that far.. as that gave me that all important encounter with you. Perhaps I must share with you that in 2005 I truly had given up the dream of having a baby. I was a low responder - I was a one egg wonder (if at all)- no matter what meds I took. ( I remember you candidly telling me that that is the toughest group to treat. And the only option is to not give up). Our conversation was followed by some attempts (on my part) to consider the trip to NY. NY was not possible (even though my local doctor did seem excited by the prospect of working with a famous NY doctor). Regardless... you helped reignite my dream. The only question was how now. January 2006 - I finally landed on the doorstep of the "cowboy" of cowboys in the treatment of infertility in Malaysia. "They" say he has a "touch" but he sure could learn a thing from you regarding personal touch. I am deeply grateful to him nonetheless. Today, I have beautiful twins…And I want to thank you Dr. Joel for that wonderful supportive conversation from so very long ago! I have thought of sending you a thank you card too many times... and never did coz i wanted to word it just right. Pardon my delayed thanks! If you are ever in this part of the world, PLEASE don’t hesitate to contact me. I would love to meet you.” God Bless You! Warm Regards, S.A."
“Thank you very much for your informative email and the attachments. I will be diligent in reading these materials, following the instructions, and taking action. Yesterday's appointment was very enlightening and encouraging, and I thank you. Your understanding on my goals is correct. Everyone is wonderful in your office and thank you so much for instilling confidence and promoting hope for my situation.” A.R.
“First and foremost, I am extremely comfortable in your office and with your staff. And secondly, I have had success. We do have a lot to be thankful for and appreciate it and Dr. B. every day!" A.C.
“I'm a huge fan of Dr. Batzofin. In fact I recommended 2 friends there...One of which conceived a baby boy 4 months ago as well. My son Jesse is a thriving little boy and we're so happy to have him in our lives. Here's a recent picture. We're so thankful for Dr. Batzofin's help, we couldn't have done it without his help.” E.S.
"Dear Dr. Batzofin, Just a quick note to let you know how lucky we feel that we found you and your clinic. We know we are in good hands and we know we will be parents, probably soon. The concerns we raised in our Monday meeting, as well as the tears shed, were all part of the process, the fear, the stress, the great desire to be parents. We would like you to know that throughout the entire process, from the first time we met with you on a Friday morning, to the IUIs and the IVF, we felt very comfortable with you and taken care by you and your team (especially Kristina and Colleen). Beyond being professional, you have always been attentive to our needs and concerns and never treated us as a number. I know you probably get many thank you emails and letters from patients who already have babies, and I wanted to send this now, even before we get pregnant. Thank you, shabat shalom, and see you soon." Rachel S.
