Grief Doesn’t Take a Holiday: Holding Space for Joy and Loss at the Same Time

Dr Barad and his team have been super supportive and very friendly and professional at the same time. I would always recommend Center of human reproduction to anyone who wants to conceive. Let me tell you this flew all the way dallas to NY and it was worth it.

Unfortunately, I have had to deal with infertility for 7+ years and have been with 4 different clinics. CHR, Drs Barad and Gleicher, and the entire staff have been nothing short of kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. This clinic is 2.5 hours from us, so it was a big decision to travel out of state for care; but I am so glad we made the decision. We’re still in the thick of it, but I feel comfortable and confident with my treatment plan.***update: I gave birth to two beautiful baby boys in January thanks to CHR. We almost lost hope on being able to grow our family and after one round of IVF with Dr Barad, I became pregnant with twins! We are forever grateful to the entire team for believing in us and not giving up on me or my body. 🙏🏻

When considering IVF, you want to be in the best hands — and that’s exactly what I found at CHR. Dr. Norbert Gleicher isn’t just one of the most respected fertility specialists in the world; he runs a private clinic that pairs world-class expertise with white-glove service. From the moment I walked in, I felt truly seen, heard, and cared for.My IVF journey at CHR was the most loving, intimate, and professional medical experience I’ve ever had. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and compassion. It wasn’t just a procedure — it was a deeply personal and empowering experience.I left CHR with more than just a successful outcome — I left with another family: my baby daughter and the incredible CHR team.I will forever be grateful for the care, expertise, and unwavering professionalism that guided me through every step. Dr. Gleicher and Dr. Barad are unique in their approach. They don’t follow marketing trends or standard protocols blindly. They bring their own evidence-based perspectives and truly understand what they’re doing — and why.
