My experience with Dr. Spandorfer echoes with the comments by Ramona N and Citygirl S. My husband and I went to see him for a 2nd opinion after my 1stIVF cycle failed elsewhere. During our initial consultation, he was friendly and looked over my records, stating that he would change the protocol somewhat and that there should be no problems, I’m very healthy and he is not worried about it. Unfortunately, the cycle failed, and I understand that this happens and concrete answers are usually not possible. Naturally, my husband and I had questions and wanted to get some information. During our follow-up with Dr. Spandorfer, I asked relevant questions and he seemed annoyed, as if we were wasting his time. He was trying to get us out of his office as quickly as possible. He said we could not get a copy of the embryologist’s report, that he would not compare the protocol from my first cycle to this one, and was generally disrespected and disinterested. Although my experience with my nurse and most of the other professionals at Cornell was excellent throughout this process, my experience with him was so terrible that I would not return nor recommend him.

I started seeing Doctor Spandorfer about 7 months ago after seeing 2 other doctors and being referred by my acupuncturist to him. Although I am yet to be pregnant I truly believe that I am going to the best center. The office is super clean and just has such a nice atmosphere I don’t even mind going because it just has such good vibes. Although this center is extremely busy and always has a full waiting room I usually never have to wait more than 15 minutes before getting called in and can usually be in and out within a half hour because it just so organized! The nurses and phlebotomist and even the women in the billing office and front desk are so pleasant and kind. I have never had a bad experience with anyone at this place. It is so organized and I don’t think I ever called for question and they didn’t answer and if they didn’t and I left a message within the next hour they would get back to me. Dr. Spandorfer honestly makes this extremely hard experience so much easier for me, he makes me feel very comfortable in a situation that is honestly super uncomfortable and he does not beat around the bush or give you and false hope or promises. He gets right to the point and always tells me he won’t give up unless I give up. I highly recommend this center!

I would not recommend. he might have the knowledge, but lacks the interest, which is typical for most of the doctors at Cornell. not sure if he really follows our case, or just places you on a protocol and somebody else takes over. his lack of interest affects the quality of care.

He was the best doctor we saw, very straight forward, no high pressure sales, and he was supportive in whatever direction we wanted to go in. Ultimately we chose a less invasive route and it worked the first time. Cornell is a well oiled machine, very professional, courteous, and efficient. We never waited for more than 15min, top down the nicest most professional group. This was the polar opposite for North Shore Hospital reproductive Medicine group… awful, awful awful, stay away from North Shore. They had us waiting an hr and even 2hrs at appointments. They said we had zero chance without IVF… they were very very wrong. Cornell has helped many friends and I would not hesitate to recommend them or Dr Spandorfer to anyone. People fly in from all over the world to see him and he is worth it.

He must be great for women in their 20’s or early 30’s. But I doubt he is competent enough to handle complex cases for women in their late 30’s. I’m very disappointed in the overall approach & his lack of compassion.

So far the experience has been nothing but pleasant and very efficient. Dr. Spandorfer really took his time to understand my situation. He cares and is interested in what is going on with a patient. His approach is thorough and I don’t feel pushed into any direction before all the tests are performed. The facility is great, I’ve been to this office 3 times now and I did not have to wait for more than 5 minutes. Dr. Spandorfer was recommended by my acupuncturist out of the list of many other doctors who take my insurance.

How could he not get rave reviews when I got pregnant at 43 and had a healthy baby at 44! He is the opposite of my last experience, the highly(overrated) UCSF on the other coast. Where that felt like a mill, Dr. Spandorfer told me, after a thorough evaluation, that it wouldn’t be crazy not to go straight to IVF and he was right. On top of that he is just about the nicest, most accessible dr. I ever had.

If only all my doctors can be as good as he is. Totally puts you at ease, and is really sympathetic to his patients. He is affliated with Cornell, so the facilities are great. He is really good at what he does, so how lucky am I that he takes my insurance! HIghly recommend for the Ladies.
