Dr. Frederick L. Licciardi, MD

Dr. Licciardi is EXCELLENT. I would not be pregnant today, if it wasn't for him. I had gone to another Doctor to ask about fertility treatments and was told I didn't need them and that they didn't think it would work. Luckily, I was referred to Dr. Licciardi through a friend who sat with me for almost an hour our first visit to just speak about me and my life. When I asked about what I was interested in, he immediately said "We can absolutely try that, if that's what you'd like to do." Sure enough, we worked together and I got pregnant! His entire team were thorough, caring, and always made me feel taken care of. Highly recommend.

I saw Dr. Licciardi when I was trying to get pregnant. Saw a doctor previous and brought all my paperwork with me. Previous doctor told me that I needed IVF. Saw Dr. Licciardi once with previous doctor paperwork. Told me I did not need IVF. Told me I had a lesion on my pituitary just by looking at blood work. Sent me for more bloodwork, cat scan and then prescribed me a medicine to shrink it. Within a month I was pregnant. Amazing doctor! Now I have 5 year old triplets.

I switched from Cornell to Dr Licciardi after having a stillbirth last summer. He was immediately kind, compassionate to our situation and thorough. I had sent an immense amount of paperwork and when I walked into his office he had it all printed out and had read it all before our consultation. He spent so much time with us that day and you could tell he really felt for us and cared about our outcome. We weren’t just a number to him as i always felt at Cornell. Throughout my treatment cycles he was always available to me and answered any question I had with total patience regardless of how dumb I’m sure they were. There were many times i would get results from a nurse and then he would call to check in after, such as when we found out how many embryos made it. When my pregnancy test came back positive the nurse called, then I got another call from him too. You can just tell he really cares about his patients, and on top of that is a smart man and a good doctor. He really has a heart of… gold.

It's hard to hear your chances of conceiving aren't great (or even likely!). Dr. Licciardi caringly told me my eggs weren't probably going to work (my FSH number). The Reproductive Center found a near perfect match for my egg donor. Dr Licciardi and his fabulous Admin always put me at ease with my (hormonal) phone calls (I was injecting hormones) and saw me whenever I needed soothing, especially post egg-donated IVF. I never doubted that he cared about me as a patient. I have a beautiful 10 year old son to show for it. And I was 47. Nothing is impossible!!! I would recommend him to anyone!!!!

I think this man is an angel. A mother of 12 year old twins I look at them everyday and remember how he was the reason i have them today. I call them my miracle children. Every other doctor told me I could not get pregnant and or carry a child to term. First IVF I was pregnant with Twins. He does not worry about his numbers he cares about his patients. Great guy all around.

Exceptional physician both professionally and personally

When I began seeking fertility treatments I went to Dr. Licciardi after being referred by a friend. He spent very little time with me, didn't effectively communciate options or what to expect and didn't return phone calls. I promptly cancelled all future tests, etc and went to Columbia's Center for Women's Reproductive Care. There I was always able to spend as much time with a doctor as I desired, received return phone calls that same day and became pregnant with my twins. I am sure both facilities have high success rates but going through fertility treatments is emotionally draining and confusing so I would select a doctor or group who is responsive with a caring and patient bedside demeanor.
