Despite the stress and anxiety that often accompanies infertility issues, my husband and I look forward to going in to see Dr. Castelbaum and his staff. His extensive knowledge of and transparency about our particular situation, patience and phenomenal bedside manner, and genuinely caring staff all attest to why going to RMA makes you feel like you're part of their family, not just a name on a patient file. We are incredibly grateful to have found this practice and would recommend them to anyone looking for help with infertility. Dr. Castelbaum is the reason we were finally able to start a family, and will be the reason it continues to grow. We could not be more thankful for RMA and Dr. Castelbaum!

Dr. Castelbaum came highly recommended to me by multiple people after my husband and I experienced several miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy- when I first met Dr. Castelbaum he conducted a series of tests to assess the etiology for our recurrent losses. Although he did not find a medical reason to explain our situation, he offered us consolation and assured me that he was my doctor through and through supporting our decision to continue trying to get pregnant on our own. When I was pregnant again, Dr Castelbaum and his team followed me closely in those early weeks of pregnancy to ensure the growth and health of our baby was on target before discharging us to our OBGYN. Whenever I was concerned about something or had s question, I would message Dr. C and he responded back to om multiple occasions within 5 minutes! I always felt like he made time for me and my husband. I am happy to say that a year after meeting/ working with Dr. Castelbaum, that my husband and I welcomed our healthy beautiful daughter! Given my history, Dr. C assured me that I will always be his patient, meaning whenever I get pregnant again I am encouraged to see him as soon as possible to assess the viability as well as the location of the baby in my uterus. I am grateful to Dr. C and his team for being there when my husband and I needed the right kind of attention.

Dr. Castlebaum is the best. He was so open to discussions on every concern I had and I felt that he truly cared about me and my wish to be a mom again. I was anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed about the fact that I was not getting pregnant. Over and over he reassured me that it would happen...and it did! He is simply the best!
