I've seen Dr. Widra at the Sibley office for IVF treatment. He is very knowledgeable, takes his time to explain the different terms and treatments. He is calm, nice and caring. The staff are wonderful as well and will answer any question you have in person, on the phone or via E-mail. I give Dr. Widra and the Sibley office my greatest recommendations.

Two of three IVF cycles are success. The best doctor you can possibly find.

Dr. Widra is very knowledgeable doctor. I found him by best doctor ratings. During my entire cycle I missed communication with Dr. alot, although the RE was indeed very helpful and always kept me updated about everything. I wanted same doctor to handle my case during the entire treatment cycle, whereas I was always seen by different doctors as per their availability.

Dr. Widra and the DC location staff were wonderful. Front desk staff was cheerful and helpful, nursing staff was warm and accommodating. Dr. Widra is very knowledgeable, has a calm and confident personality, and never makes me feel rushed. One of my big concerns with doctor's offices is a lack of communication. Dr. Widra was kind enough to point out that this issue is often inherit, simply because of the type of service I was receiving. He offered to chat or touch base with me any time I was feeling out of touch with the office or had any concerns. Wonderful!

I called him when I started spoting after a positive home pregnancy test. I asked him whether I could come for an early blood test to confirm my pregnancy. First he refused the blood test claiming that it would provide no useful information and then reluctantly agreed after I insisted on it. His recommendation was not consitent with that of his colleague, who called me for a blood test right away during my first pregnancy that ended in an early miscarriage. I think he was almost rude with me and not sympathetic at all to my situation. I find his approach completely unacceptable given that we, as patients, are already under a lot of stress and financial hardship given the hefty cost of the infertility treatment and the last thing we need during the entire process is an unsympathetic, arrogant treatment by the very people WE HIRE to treat us.
