The Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility

I need to start off by saying that I am not infertile and never was and did not go here because of that. I was sent here by my doctor for a biopsy.
Mine was to evaluate a suspected cancer. There was no cancer. This is a very prestigious medical center with the highest level of technology and the most educated physicians. They also do the most complete job of testing that I have had at any hospital! The tests they did were very extensive and complete. They rule out everything so you will get a diagnosis here if you need one.
However the biopsy was given to me without pain killers! I asked for pain killers they said no we don’t give them for this procedure. I asked if it would hurt.(I thought it might be like a pap smear or a cervical biopsy which is quick and it is only mildly painful if you get a good doctor.) (because otherwise why don’t they give pain killers?)
The doctor who performed it said it only feels like «a pinch», you don’t need anesthesia. Well if someone «pinched» the doctor who said that in the same way with the same amount of pain he would be screaming in pain and crying for it to stop!
Infertile women are sometimes willing to endure whatever torture they have to to get that coveted baby prize. But I have no such issue and this was unbearably painful!
I would have gladly paid for some pain killers with cash. But they said I could not! So much of women’s health care is behind the times and lacks any direct care of the woman as a feeling whole individual. Maybe all medical centers who do this biopsy do it without pain killers. I don’t know. Since this is one of the top in the country I suspect they all do it without pain killers. So it is not unique to this center. But since it is my experience with this I need to post it so you will know what you are getting yourself into. It is probably the best of it’s kind. But women’s health care needs to advance so that the patients pain level is taken into consideration.
All I know is I won’t be going back for any reason and if you are willing to endure this then it is a clean prestigious medical facility.
