Choosing a Fertility Doctor
During my time scheduling new patient consultations, I encountered many individuals, eager to begin their treatment at RMACT but unsure about how to choose their doctor, I reassured each person that all of our physicians are board certified, follow the same clinical protocols, and specialize in reproductive and endocrine issues. The style in which information is given and care is provided can vary slightly depending on the physician which is why I like to remind patients that your relationship with your fertility doctor is just that… a relationship. And healthy relationships are built on communication, respect, and clear expectations.
Every RMACT fertility doctor is capable of providing the individualized care that all patients need and deserve, regardless of personality. Never hesitate in communicating what your needs are. If you are a person that wants statistics, data and blunt information, say so. If you prefer a more gentle approach, say so. When patients communicate their needs, the physicians and the RMACT team listen and respond so that each patient feels supported.
