Fertility treatment can be an overwhelming process for many people. Throughout it all, you want to be confident that you are on the right path, that your voice is being heard, and that your fertility specialist has your best interests at heart. If you have any doubts, it could be a good idea to seek a second opinion from an unbiased fertility doctor at another clinic.
Dr Reyftmann has been treating and counselling fertility patients for over 15 years and is an expert on several specialised topics, having authored over 30 international journal articles. He holds further subspecialised accreditation in advanced laparoscopy and reproductive surgery, as well as the French equivalent of the Australian Certificate of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.
With his advanced training, Dr Reyftmann can review your medical history and fertility treatments to date to provide you with an independent opinion. He may provide reassurance that you’ve already been put on the right track, or may uncover some additional factors to be considered. In some cases, he may be able to give you an alternative treatment option that hasn’t been offered before.
Most patients who come to IRML are already in a distressed and vulnerable state. You may have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive for some time or may have just been told you have a condition with a risk of infertility. Given this, you want to feel comfortable and at ease with your fertility specialist, knowing that you’re in a safe space to ask your questions and express your emotions.
The consistent feedback we receive about Dr Reyftmann is that he is patient and easy-going. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and provide reassurance. With a passion for medical teaching, Dr Reyftmann also ensures that his communication meets you at your level of understanding, so that you leave your consultation feeling informed and educated rather than confused.
Many of our patients who seek a second opinion at our Wollongong fertility clinic are here because something about their previous fertility specialist didn’t feel quite right. You might be here because you’re unsure whether your fertility assessment was thorough enough or you felt pushed in a certain direction with fertility treatment without proper consideration of other possible options.
Dr Reyftmann takes a diligent and methodical approach in his assessment. This involves reviewing your fertility tests and treatment so far and providing an expert second opinion on your next steps. His recommendation may involve additional testing to confirm an inconclusive test result or if something appears to have been missed previously. The results of this testing can either confirm that you’re on the right track with the fertility treatment originally recommended, or may subsequently alter your options to include an intervention that hadn’t previously been considered.
As a fertility clinic with years of experience in managing patients with the latest fertility treatments and advanced reproductive surgery, Illawarra Reproductive Medicine and Laparoscopy is perfectly positioned to provide a second opinion on various concerns, including:
