Daniel Stein's Online Review Report Card

Great doctor. A people person. Knows his field. Very knowledgeable about his field. Willie Kemp

If there was an option to give this doctor 0 stars it would easily be warranted. He pushed IVF on me and my wife with the typical used car salesman tactics. He could not explain the issues of our inability to get pregnant beyond it just isn't working. We did the IVF as my wife liked his confidence of the rate of success. First the finance department told us we have really good insurance that covered it partially and would cost a fraction of what it would cost without insurance. As it turns out they did not take our insurance for IVF and had to pay everything out of pocket. We did the operation and low and behold it was unsuccessful and produced no viable embryos. He sent us an email with this information even though we insisted that he call me while my wife was overseas. He never called but insisted he did. When I called his office upset that I had to beg to speak with him, he told me he didn't appreciate me hounding his office for a call. Receiving a phone call from a Doctor is not an extreme request. We then later discovered that he did not bother to do a karyotype test which he did on me but did not do on my wife which is standard operating procedure. After the fact we discovered that my wife has a unique chromosomal abnormality which he never even took into consideration. When I finally spoke to him and he was trying to explain to me the results, I said the operation was a failure as it produced no viable embryos where he got defensive and accused me of being antagonistic. I asked him to meet with my wife and explain the results and situation and he impatiently said that "it wasn't so hard to understand and I should have to explain what happened". I told him that considering he is the doctor and we had a tragedy that for the sake of my wife he should meet with her and discuss the matter which he did but only in a begrudging matter. If I had to describe him it would be as arrogant, impatient, pompous, smug and sloppy.

Dr. Stein has always been very accommodating when I have had a medical emergency. He has personally returned phone calls when I have called to speak to the resident on call about a medical emergency. He is very busy, but has always made time to see me in an emergency. If he can't see me, he sends his best students in his place. He always explains my options and goes over every procedure in detail. I would highly recommend him.

He is overbooked and shuffles patients in and out. You only get an appointment months in the future, forget it if you have a pressing problem. My problem got worse after seeing him initially and the receptionist decided I didn’t qualify to have my appointment and canceled it the at 10am for a 1pm appointment!!!. I got off the waitlist and got an earlier appointment to have it cancelled- it was not even rescheduled by staff!!! Dr Stein does not respond on the portal and the scheduling staff is given authority to decide medical necessity. The receptionists do not have medical degrees. If you need medical help don’t waste your time.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Stein and the entire team at RMA Westside! I could not recommend this practice highly enough! I came to Dr. Stein for a second opinion after having a not so great experience with a different fertility program. I have PCOS/ do not ovulate and my husband and I found out that we were both carriers for the same autosomal recessive disorders, so after discussing our case with Dr. Stein we proceeded with IVF. The whole process was very organized and well laid out. I received a booklet with the anticipated timeline/ expenses, met with a financial assistant and my IVF coordinator (your coordinator is your go to person throughout the entire process for any questions/ scheduling issues you may have). Everything was explained very clearly ans after a very unclear/ overwhelming experience at a previous practice - I was so thankful for this organization!! Routine monitoring hours (vaginal ultrasounds, bloodwork) were 7:00-9:00am daily which allowed me to go before work and still make it in on time. RNs call with results and instructions that afternoon for next steps/ medication adjustments. Educational videos were provided with explanations on medication administration and the nurses made sure all of the correct medications and supplies were ready at my pharmacy. Our egg retrieval and transfer went very smoothly. We were lucky enough to get pregnant after one round of IVF. After the retrieval and biopsy/ genetic testing, we ended up having 4 healthy embryos! We had our first transfer mid October with Dr. Stein and ten days later we found out that it worked! We are due early July :) Once we are ready for baby number 2 we will most definitely be returning to RMA and scheduling our next transfer with Dr. Stein! He was very professional and personable throughout the entire process and had great bedside manner. We are so thankful to him and all the incredible nurses/ other team members!

I wish all couples could have access to the services I received by Dr Stein. For me he is a miracle man and I cannot recommend him enough. He is professional, knowledgeable, he knows all the cutting edge treatments available, but first and foremost he is human. You feel like you are in the best hands and you actually are. He helped when nobody else could and I will be forever grateful.

Dr. Stein and the team at RMANY is the absolute best! We did 4 rounds of IUI and 1 round of IVF which resulted in my now 2 year old son. What I thought would be a scary and stressful experience was actually extremely pleasant. Dr. Stein is so comforting and reassuring. He really has a way of making this process quite pleasant and has a calming way about him. He is also quite funny. We trust him wholeheartedly. In fact, even though we moved out of state, we came back for our second round of IVF and I am now pregnant with my second child. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Dr. Stein and the staff at RMANY are wonderful. The journey to start and expand our family was long and full of ups and downs. Dr. Stein was always encouraging, patient, and compassionate. We are forever grateful to he and his staff for helping us succeed in our dream of having a family. We will miss seeing him as well as the rest of the staff, and they will always hold a special place in our hearts. We can see why Dr. Stein and RMANY are so highly regarded.

Wonderful experience with Dr Stein and RMA Team, from first visit to pregnancy!

I sincerely appreciate Dr. Stein and his team's guidance and support through my IUI and IVF process. They have been always positive and professional. I am not a native English speaker, but they kindly listened to me and answered to my questions.
