“My first interaction with Dr. Brody and his front office gal was interesting yet pretty great. Dr. Brody is knowledgeable, caring and truly vested in each women’s fertility and pregnancy journey. This was evident by wait times and interactions I overheard with other patients. Wait times are to be desired but I expected that. You should too. Dr. Brody made it a point to let me know to expect long wait times as he is very thorough. Bring a book or listen to music as you patiently wait. It’s well worth it. I am excited for my fertility journey at the hands of Dr. Brody. ”
