Getting Started
Patient Support & Care
The physicians and staff of RK Hospital & IVF Center truly believe that we are not just treating infertility, we are treating human beings. We strive to address both the medical issues that individuals and couples facing the challenge of infertility face, and we also strive to address the well-being of the whole individual.
At RK Hospital & IVF Center, we know that the physical demands and emotional ups and downs of infertility experience can impact life at home, at work and with family. This is a path that one likely did not anticipate and, while there is much reason for hope, the treatment process can also be emotionally trying. The well being of our patients is a crucial aspect of fertility treatment, and we encourage our patients to take advantage of the many resources we have developed to address the emotional and even spiritual needs they may have as a part of their journey.
RK Hospital & IVF Center's extensive support system includes a devoted patient care team, experienced clinical coordinators and educators and an in-house marriage and family therapist who has long specialized in fertility and third party parenting issues. Each of our physicians has his or her own team that will then work with each patient. We do try to get to know our own patients as much as possible in the (hopefully short) time they are working with us in their attempts to conceive. We all feel grateful to work in a rewarding field that allows us to help our patients build their families and have a positive impact on the lives of so many people.
Ongoing Patient Education and Support
Fertility treatment involves attention to detail. Our outstanding team of nurses and clinical coordinators are by our patient's side to help them manage this aspect of care. Our nurses work with each patient to understand their treatment course and help manage medication schedules. When lab results come in, a nurse will contact the patient, explain their results and answer any questions. A RK Hospital & IVF Centerphysician is also always available to speak with their patients by phone or in person, beyond the initial consultation, to discuss lab results, review the treatment plan and progress, or discuss new options. For those taking fertility medications, a nurse will provide injection instruction, including one-on-one guidance and emotional support whenever they need it. Our physicians and nurses are available to our patients 24-7.
If treatment involves intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization, our patients will also be assigned a clinical care coordinator, who will walk them through all aspects of their IUI or IVF cycle. If treatment involves third party reproduction (egg donors or surrogacy), we have specialized staff in our Egg Donor Agency and with our Third Party Coordinators, to make sure the entire process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our staff's extensive experience and careful attention to detail is very reassuring to patients trying to learn about and prepare for their treatments.
