It has been hard to put into words the gratitude my husband and I feel towards Dr. Freedman and RMA. We had been struggling with infertility for over 2 years. We began our journey with another practice and went through all the necessary testing. After completing fertility testing and getting ready to initiate the IVF process, we conceived naturally. Unfortunately, we miscarried at 10 weeks. It was devastating, but decided to go forward with the IVF process. After 2 failed IVF attempts and at the recommendation of a very good friend, we decided to seek a second opinion with Dr. Freedman and RMA. After our initial consultation, we both knew we wanted to work with Dr. Freedman. He was extremely positive, despite all the statistics that came with being a little older. His focus was on giving us the best possible outcome and not on why the chances of getting pregnant were very low with someone in there late 30's. He certainly did not give us any false sense of hope, but made it clear that he and his team would tailor our treatment to our needs and as our physician he would make all final decisions regarding our care. We are happy to report that after the first round of IVF with Dr. Freedman, we are pregnant! None of this would have been possible without the care and expertise of RMA and the entire staff. We would like to thank Dr. Gutmann for her skills in the operating room during fertility testing and talking us down off a ledge when she was on call one evening after an injection mishap. She was supportive, kind and informative during every encounter. We would also like to thank Dr. Castelbaum, who performed our retrieval. We met him for the first time the morning of the retrieval and he was extremely positive and reassuring. He made sure that we were comfortable and explained everything that was going to happen. The embryology team at RMA deserves a very special acknowledgment for their expertise. They were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions at the retrieval and then again at the transfer. We can not pretend to know what goes on in that lab, but their work demonstrates nothing short of excellence. The nursing staff at RMA was amazing. We want to thank them for their time, patience and unbelievable care. Every phone call was returned promptly, every question answered thoroughly and every visit met with a positivity and energy you do not expect to see at 7:00 in the morning. We were seen at the Willow Grove and King of Prussia offices. They have a front desk staff that was extremely friendly and very accommodating. My husband and I have very demanding schedules and from check in to check out, this office ran like a well oiled machine. Finally, we would like to express our most sincere gratitude to Dr. Freedman. IVF does not work for everyone, as we can attest to in the past. We failed twice before and wanted to give it one last try. We knew that if anyone could make this dream a reality it would be Dr. Freedman. He was with us from beginning to end. We saw him at every visit which we could not believe. He performed every ultrasound and talked us through every step. He performed our transfer, which we were hoping for, but with such a large group is not always the case depending on who is on call. When they promote "highly personalized care" as their mission statement, there could not be a truer statement. He guided us through the IVF process from beginning to end. His knowledge and compassion during a very difficult and sensitive time made it that much easier. We have never been more impressed with a physicians bed side manner, clinical acumen and overall expertise in this field. It takes a very special person to manage infertility care and treatment. Dr. Freedman demonstrates all the attributes that make him so successful and such a leader in his field. We can not begin to thank him for what he has done for our family. Good luck to everyone who must endure this journey and know that anything is possible if you have the right people working with you.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Freedman and his staff. Before coming to his office, my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for about a year. As many of the people reading these reviews can understand, each month brought along heartbreak. All of my diagnosis tests came back normal, fertility issues did not run in my family, and I was left confused and upset. When I made the decision to see Dr. Freedman, his confidence and personality were extremely comforting. He assured me that I would be pregnant by the summer (it was April). I appreciated his hands on approach and the fact that the doctors facilitate the ultrasounds (not ultrasound techs) and that the monitoring is all done on-site. I never had a problem getting an appointment and never had to wait more than 5 minutes when showing up to my appointment. This was very important to me, as i was starting a new job. Ultimately, I am VERY HAPPY to say Dr. Freedman helped me achieve pregnancy after just ONE MONTH of treatment with IUI, medicine, and monitoring. He was right...I was pregnant by the summer! Dr. Freedman knows his stuff and when it comes to baby #2, I won't be waiting a year to see him!! Good luck to everyone reading these reviews and remember to never give up!

RMA has been a great experience for me. I am a two time patient over 2 years and have a 1 yr old child and another one on the way in a few months. Dr. Freedman and the staff were great, very helpful and informative. They always responded to my calls and emails right away. After 2 discouraging miscarriages, Dr. Freedman gave me hope and the strength to continue through the process. My treatment was personalized and tailored to my body and my needs. I would definitely recommend Dr. Freedman and RMA.

RMA promises "highly personalized fertility care" but places you on a conveyer belt. While Dr. Freedman is generally responsive, he does not take the time to review your case before speaking with you, meaning that the counsel he provides tends to be generalized rather than specific. We experienced lots of bait and switch with this clinic---the experience they promise is not what is delivered, and the level of care and professionalism that begins very high diminishes once the "sale" is closed. Not atypical for fertility clinics, but quite disappointing.

Dr Freedman is awesone! He is honest, knowledgeable and direct while still maintaining a friendly approachable demeanor. I found him to have great bed side manors and I appreciated his frankness and optimism.

I came to Dr. Freedman after being a patient at another fertility clinic for 7 months. The difference was night and day. Dr. Freedman is extremely knowledgeable in this field, and he will only suggest testing and treatment that is actually necessary (as opposed to the other practice that made you go through a ring circus of tests and procedures because it was "protocol"). Dr. Freedman listened to all of my concerns, with compassion and a sense of humor, explained everything to me in a way I could understand, treated me with care and efficiency and we are now well into our first pregnancy! My only regret is I didn't start my journey with RMA, but I will be coming back for baby # 2!
