I am now pregnant for the second time thanks to Dr. Cholst. The entire staff at CRM is caring and professional. Dr. Cholst made an extremely stressful process just a little bit easier with her positive attitude and encouragement. The nurses made sure to contact me in a timely manner with test results and other answers to my questions. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Cholst to friends and family who need reproductive assistance.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Cholst. Her calm demeanor helped keep us calm during an incredibly stressful time in our lives. Thanks to her recommendations, my husband and I are now pregnant after our first round of IVF. Dr. Cholst and the entire Weill Cornell Staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable which made the entire process seamless- I strongly recommend going to Cornell if you want the best of the best!

I had a great experience with DR.Cholst. She was very warm and kind. She did not rush at any of our appointments. Her staff is also great. After getting pregnant, I was a little sad that we have to part because she was a specialist and I have to see my regular OB-GYN. Overall, I recommend her 100 percent.

One of the best infertility doctor and facility!
After 5 years of Asian herbs, acupunctures, different human reproduction clinics for multiple IUIs, my husband and I decided to visit Dr. Ina Cholst at Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM) for final infertility consultation. On our visit for an appointment, Dr. Cholst was very professional and knowledgeable on our questions and concerns. Dr. Cholst took her time to review our previous medical records and made sure we were physically and emotionally ready for our next step - IVF. After couple of consultation with Dr.Cholst, we went through the IVF procedure and we are finally expecting!! After long 5 years of trying every month, we are finally expecting our first baby with help of Dr. Cholst!

With unexpected medical questions and conditions, CRM offered 24 hours emergency line with designated nurses during day time and on-call IVF doctors at night to answer your questions. Based on full supports from the Dr. Cholst and CRM team, my husband and I felt very comfortable and confident of our IVF procedure. All of Dr.Cholst’s nurses and CRM facility nurses were always understanding of patient’s emotional stress of IVF process and made sure my needs came first.
If you’re looking for the right infertility doctor and facility, I would strongly recommend Dr. Ina Cholst and CRM!

Horrible doctor! Horrible staff! I wasted my time and money. She was never very informative and never supportive.

Dr. Cholst was a pleasure to work with through our IVF process. My husband, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a child is affected by infertility, much like many men who have CF. Dr. Cholst worked with us from the very beginning of the process, explaining everything in detail and assuring us that there was a very high likelihood that all would work out well. Boy, was she right! About two months ago, after many injections, blood draws, ultrasounds, an egg retrieval, my husband's testicular procedure with another Cornell doctor, and finally an embryo transfer, we found out that we're having twins! Dr. Cholst shared in our joy and remarked how gratifying it is for her to work with patients who are dealing with CF, allowing them to have children of their own -- a procedure that wasn't even possible 10 years ago. We're so grateful to have worked with Dr. Cholst and to have had her knowledge, patience, and kindness as part of our journey. Now on to parenthood!

Dr Cholst is a wonderful and compassionate human being. After a year of seeing her she has helped me get through the lows of a miscarriage and the highs of another pregnancy when I felt completely hopeless and despondent. She is attentive, considerate, and completely professional always. I feel very fortunate to have had her as a doctor. I would absolutely come back to her for any future fertility needs and have recommended her to many friends. Her staff also deserves a mention for being incredibly kind and responsive to any questions I've had. I won't miss the daily blood draws but I will miss the interactions with the staff at Weill.

Today we heard a heartbeat. My husband and I have been waiting for this sound after a 3 year long journey. After switching doctors to Dr. Cholst in October, we had a very successful IVF cycle that worked the first time! I cannot thank Dr. Cholst and all the nurses and staff at Weil enough. Dr. Cholst is patient, calm and very thorough. She will remain forever special for the guidance and care she provided to us.

I wish Dr. Cholst could remain with me throughout my entire pregnancy! She was extremely helpful and made a plan for us based on our needs. It was conservative and effective! As soon as we met with her for the first time, I had hope and knew she was going to help us. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Cholst is the best. Very polite, sympathetic, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable. She lays out the facts before you in a clear, concise way. We got pregnant on our own (thanks to some simple tricks she taught us), but in the year she consulted and performed tests with us, we could not have felt more secure in her ability to guide us through our journey.
