Our first meeting was very educational and helped me navigate what interventions might be offered/suggested, how they could affect labor, and whether or not I would want to avoid or consider them. I went into labor 2.5 weeks early with and my water broke at 4:00 am when my husband was out of town. This is where Lacey and Jackie really came through. They were in touch with me even in the early hours of the morning and offered support until I was ready for in person support. Without going into too much detail, I had a VERY fast labor and I have told many people that I don't think I would have mentally or emotionally gotten through it without Lacey. I tell anyone who will listen to me that they should hire KOP Doulas because they offer support that your OB, Nurse or significant other are unable to offer.

Three of the four agencies reached back out same day letting us know they didn't have availability, which we appreciated as it gave us the opportunity to continue our search. King of Prussia Doulas scheduled a consult with us for 2pm on May 22nd which was waited for as we needed support as quickly as possible. We received multiple reminder emails from King of Prussia Doulas in regard to our scheduled appointment throughout the week, including one 30 minutes prior to our appointment. We eagerly waited to connect, as we desperately needed assistance. At 1:51 pm on May 22nd (9 minutes prior to our consult). Amanda from King of Prussia Doulas texted saying she needed to reschedule to the following day, then later the evening sent an email canceling all together. This lack of professionalism cost us days of finding the care and support we needed. If you are looking for support and a very vulnerable time do not trust King of Prussia Doulas to follow through.

I was primarily with Dr. Freedman at the Abington/Willow Grove location who made sure everything was perfect. I appreciated the care and time he took with me at every appointment. You can tell how much he cares for his patients as he reviews everything to be sure that you are on the right plan. It was a long journey for me but was successful as I am now pregnant and couldn't have imagined not having Dr. Freedman, Christina, and the rest of the staff at RMA. I highly recommend RMA!

Please consider a few things before choosing this adoption agency. 1) They have many offices. If…read moreyou are matched with a child that is not in the same state as your office for instances, you will not receive in person support from your placement advisor. I live in the DC area, had a placement advisor in the Delware office, and was matched with a child in PA. I NEVER met my placement advisor in person, after 3+ years with the agency. I cannot say this enough, this SIGNIFICANTLY impacted the outcome of my prospective placement. 2) please be aware that you may nor may not be dealing with a social worker. I had experiences where staff called themselves social workers, but they have neither the training nor the certifications to qualify that title. I am a social worker, have my license, and this is very important.

They are always very helpful. Wish I had know there was a pediatricians office next store before I picked my daughters doctor or we would probably be going there too. I highly recommend Kindercare.

I treated with Dr. Castelbaum for a year and a half and always felt like he was in my corner rooting me on. I came to him not as a new infertility patiemt, but as someone who'd been through the ropes before, and he never spoke down to me or treated me with anything less than respect and patience. Throughout the 2 IVF miscarriages I experienced during treatment, Dr. Castelbaum was there for me 100%, even when I cried and cursed and had a less than positive attitude. He always fit me in for last minute appointments and even daw me for non-treatment visits when u had concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Castelbaum and RMA of Philadelphia. They run a tight ship and always made me feel like I was their #1 priority patient. Kudos to Dr. C!

I had quite a journey with RMA and am ultimately landing on a review between 4 and 5 stars. It's…read morehard for any practice to achieve perfection in fertility treatment - there are so many interactions and variables. I visited RMA over 25 times during my care across 3 different locations. But overall, it came together well and I left feeling like RMA was in my corner and delivered on their promise. I'm very grateful to them for helping us. Doctors Our initial interactions with RMA doctors were not good. Some of the older doctors in the practice are very condescending and controlling - one said some very offensive things to us. Stuff that would make your jaw drop. We considered terminating care but ultimately contacted the practice manager who took our concerns very seriously and we switched to another RMA doctor who we liked right away. This doctor created a very personalized treatment plan and helped us make the right choices at each stage of the process. He also kept me safe through very close monitoring during a very long IVF stim process where I was at very high risk of OHSS and had 10 visits in 14 days. Financial counseling RMA has a robust financial counseling department that gave us accurate information about our costs and took swift action with preapprovals and insurance. In addition, I had to submit some appeals to my insurance and they produced supportive materials / letters swiftly. I received an insane bill from a third party for the anesthesia and they were on it right away - it was a mistake. Our personal financial breakdown: Procedures and appointments $25 copays PGT testing $3000 (optional) Embryo biopsy $1700 (optional) Meds $2200 Insurance paid for everything else Nursing and medical assistant care We had good interactions with nurses and MAs and some of the MAs started to treat us like friends over time. One area that could use improvement is the prior authorization process for drugs - this is managed by MAs and there is no direct line to patients for questions and concerns. "You can't speak to them but we can pass along a message." I had a complex situation (two insurances with different rules) and really needed personalized help. I eventually - through sheer willpower - figured out who to speak to and their email address (and they were happy to help) and got them to submit the right authorizations but by then it was too late. I paid $2200 out of pocket for my meds and the next week an insurance approval letter arrived. Nothing was reimbursed because the approval came too late. Focus on patient comfort IVF treatment is not comfortable but it doesn't have to be traumatic and you should be in control. At RMA in my experience, if you don't advocate for yourself, you may find yourself in physically uncomfortable situations, usually mild but it was definitely upsetting for me at times. For example, if you prefer to insert the ultrasound wand or if you want Valium for procedures - you will have to know to ask. I expressed that I didn't want to do 9 weeks of IVF progesterone shots and my doctor agreed to do a natural cycle - had I not asked, it might not have been offered. Some doctors at RMA don't do any natural cycles. I also turned down the hysteroscopy procedure because of anticipated discomfort and they were not happy - I had to really put my foot down. Eventually they offered to do it under anesthesia to try to convince me, I still said no. My mock transfer and FET transfer were also tricky, taking almost 20 minutes each, and they did present me with options like Valium and even anesthesia for the FET after the mock transfer left the doctor sweating but I had to ask. One other thing I noticed that really bothered me is that the receptionist asks male patients dropping off sperm if they've abstained from sex SO LOUDLY that everyone in the waiting room can hear. Give the guy a little privacy, come on. Communication I was pleased with the communication processes from RMA. There are multiple ways to receive your results and there is always someone to answer your questions. If they say they're going to call, they always do. Instructions for medication administration are thorough and you always know what to expect. Overall result RMA delivered on their promise and got me pregnant with one round of IVF, which is what they expected (they said it was about a 70% chance per round if you do PGT testing). I would recommend them to other patients with the caveat that you should have a perspective on what you want, pick the doctor that suits you, and stick up for yourself.
