:) Click to report rating    11/20/09 5 4 5 Dr.Kopher is a very helpful and knowledgable doctor I have ever met. I am not sure of others but he treated me and my husband well. He was very quick to point out the issue and I got pregnant just 3 months after seeing him. He is surely a no nonsense person and explained everything with great patience. He doesn't give you false hope. I am currently pregnant with my first child and this would not have happened so quickly if we were not referred to him.

:) Click to report rating    7/23/09 5 5 5 Dr. Kopher listens really well and answers questions thoroughly. He gives honest, scientifically backed responses that are not always what you "want" to hear, but he will tell you the truth. In one visit, I gained more information about fertility and pregnancy than 4 previous visits to my OB/Nurse Practitioner/Main Doctor ever gave me. I would recommend him. He's not going to hold your hand and soothe your emotions, but he will do everything he can to help and is a competent, honest physician.

:) Click to report rating    7/9/09 5 5 5 Very thorough doctor. Not one to demonstrate deep emotions or engage in patients looking for a pitty party. He does his job efficiently and well. Will explain your problems in a very detailed way. He really helped solve my problems!

:) Click to report rating    6/11/09 5 5 5 Dr. Kopher really treats me well. I am very fortunate that I found him and that he was willing to take me on as a client. He is very knowledgable and will give you a textbook analysis of your problem. Although he seems a bit mechanical, he gets the job done and is a good person.

:) Click to report rating    5/4/09 5 5 5 I saw many doctors before I was referred to Dr. Kopher and NONE of them ever discoered what my problem was. Dr. Kopher knew exactlly what was wrong, and how to treat it. He is "old" school, and knows his stuff. At times, he can be a bit "gruff" but who isn't? He's only a human being, and prone to bad days like everyone else. He's NOT GOD, so don't expect him to be super human. Thanks Dr. Kopher for treating my problem(s) - your wisdom saved me from further suffering!

:) Click to report rating    1/18/08 5 3 5 When I began on the infertility merry-go-round, Dr. Richard Kopher was my physician. I found him to be caring, kind, soft spoken, and a very smart Doctor, who had some of the best listening skills I have ever seen in a physician. Dr. Kopher's honesty about my situation was much appreciated. Although I never became pregnant under Dr. Kopher's care, he referred me to one of his colleagues, Dr. John Malo who was able to help me achieve pregnancy's because of his treatment. I love my 3 kids and will always be greatful to both of these men for all the help and patience they gave me.

:) Click to report rating    10/25/07 5 4 4 Kopher helped us achieve a second pregnancy. He will answer any question encyclopedically, but does not usually volunteer information unless asked. He is also very, very methodical and patient, which is a medically sound approach but can unnerve his generally impatient clients. His greatest strength is his knowledge and professional competence. His greatest drawback is his lack of a bedside manner: he can seem robotic and humorless, and does not especially try to be reassuring. It's easy to mistake this demeanor as a lack of care for his patients, but it is much more likely a lack of social skills. All in all, we recommend him highly.

:| Click to report rating    6/20/07 3 2 Dr. Kopher did not take me seriously AT ALL! I've had health issues my whole life and went to see him when I was 22 about starting the process so i could get pregnant by 24. He basically laughed in my face! He asked why I wanted children so young anyway and to come back in 3-4 years! I told him my concerns about my health and if they'd effect my chances of getting pregnant and he said he didn't know. What kind of specialist is that?? I am now seeing a new doctor who is very helpful.

:) Click to report rating    3/13/07 5 4 Dr. Kopher helped me get pregnant with my son (now 2) and it went very well. He is very clear about risks, sometimes sounding too blunt, and doesn't enter into tests or procedures lightly. He wants to make sure the patient understands risks and options. He doesn't paint a rosy picture just to make the patient feel better. I am now seeing him again to try for a second baby.

:) Click to report rating    2/14/07 5 5 I have been working with Dr. Kopher for about 6 months - still not pregnant, but very hopeful - he has been terrific - the office is well run, the Dr. takes time to explain every procedure and answer each of my questions in thorough detail. I would highly recommend him.

:( Click to report rating    1/6/06 2 1 Dr. Kopher is one of the worst OB and supposed RE's I've ever had the misfortune of having as my physician. He has zero "bedside manner", does not know his claimed specialty and gives bad advice about procedures. He seems to be a decent person, but is just NOT a good doctor. Had we listened to him, we would not have any of our three children, in my opinion. He was also very very rude to my husband, called him the "weak link" in our attempts at pregnacy (can you imagine saying that??) and was just unpleasant to deal with. Would never recommend him to anyone.

:( Click to report rating    7/6/05 4 1 Dr. Kopher was really really bad. I would agree that he tears you down to build you up. He was really harsh and almost distoryed a viable pregnancy. Had a listened to him my 8 year old son would be dead. Beware!

:( Click to report rating    11/18/04 2 1 This doctor is intimidating and thrives off of frightening vulnerable women only to play superman with them. He provided me with what I later learned was inaccurate information.
