Dr. Gail F Whitman-Elia, MD

Dr. Whitman- Elia was very patient and she is very knowledgeable. I had several failed IVF, I am happy to share that we were blessed with a baby boy, whom he is 10 years old .Thanks to Dr.Whitman- Elia and God. I highly recommend her!!

She knows her stuff and will work with you 100% through the process. Our dear daughter is now 5 and thriving and we owe it all to Dr. Whitman-Elia... and GOD (of course:)!

I came to Dr. Whitman after first going to Coastal Fertility, where the doctor told me that I needed to lose 25lbs before he would approve fertility treatments, despite having had a child before and not weighing that much less. Dr. Whitman ran more tests and obviously cared more about my care than the doctor at Coastal.

Dr Witman-Elia and GOD is responsible for me having my first child at the age of 43. I always told myself that when GOD blessed me with the right man, then he would bless me with a child also and it came to pass. It was hard, but I patiently waited and my husband and I became pregnant on the first cycle. I thank GOD every day for my miracle baby who is now the age of two. I also thank HIM for blessing Dr Whitman-Elia for the gift to assist with producing life.

Let me first say.... DO NOT GO TO THIS CLINIC!!! The staff in incompentent and Dr. Whitman is a piece of work!!!! They messed up on labs, always forgot who I was, changed my protocal 4 times, and so much more that made me find another clinic to use. DO NOT waste your time and money with this clinic. What real clinic works 3 months on and 3 months off and puts EVERYONE on the same protocal? This is crazy! Please beware of this clinic!!!! I'm telling you, you will walk away broke by doing test that are not needed and without your bundle of you joy in your belly!!!! This clinic should not receive any stars!!!! Thank you for reading!!!!

I donâ??t begrudge Dr. Whitman her two unsuccessful rounds of IVF; although theyâ??re not a great sign, they could also be the luck of the draw. What I begrudge is that throughout those treatments, it seems to me that she constantly searched for both ways to charge us for unnecessary tests and procedures, and for ways to blame us when things didnâ??t work. Although my husbandâ??s test results were above average, she insisted on a â??male factorâ?? and made us pay extra for ICSI - and then when it returned a subpar fertilization rate (as ICSI often does) she insisted that he had a rare chromosomal issue and recommended that we pay for lots of expensive tests and procedures. Meanwhile, the fact that my second round of IVF (FET) returned a chemical pregnancy was a clear sign to her that I had a rare and expensive implantation issue (even though, as another doctor pointed out, a chemical pregnancy shows a successful implantation). I think the best story to highlight her incompetence is… when we met with her after our failed fresh transfer, she started the meeting with, â??Well, I wouldnâ??t have recommended that we do a transfer this cycle; it was doomed to fail.â?? You can imagine our shock since she HADNâ??T mentioned this concern to us beforehand, and had therefore wasted our 2 best embryos on a doomed and failed (and expensive) transfer. Needless to say, we have found a different doctor now -- one who has an 80% success rate, has questioned basically every move Dr. Whitman made, who says that none of our past was our fault and we are prime candidates for successful IVF, and returned a stellar fertilization rate using normal IVF procedures that were frankly much less stressful and traumatic than Dr. Whitmanâ??s. In fact, Iâ??m happy to report that I am now 17 weeks pregnant after working with a different doctor who basically questioned every move that Dr. Whitman made. Iâ??m less happy to report that I just received a notice that Dr. Whitmanâ??s office has just reported me to a collections agency for a past-due bill that I never received any notices for. (I paid all other bills punctually and completely.) I would recommend going to ANY doctor besides Dr. Whitman.

Advanced Fertility and Dr. Whitman-Elia are a cut above the rest. The facility is state-of-the-art and the staff is helpful and friendly. My nurse, Judy, was always just a phone call or e-mail away, and they even have a nurse on-call after hours with any other concerns that didn't pop up between 8:30 and 5. Holly in the financial department was also a blessing - she helped us get bills reduced and filed with health insurance (and appealed when things got denied). This is a smooth operation run with utmost professionalism, but also with care and compassion. I am very pleased with the service I received at Advanced, and also with the results! I feel like when I was attended to, I was their number one priority. That is such a great feeling.

She helped me have my beautiful son. Im so glad I went to her.

Caring, quality time and excellent. So grateful to Dr. Elia and staff.

My husband and I used Dr. Whitman-Elia twice and the last time our ivf treatment worked and we have the most beautiful baby girl now. I think that everyone has to realize that this is a very hard science to perfect and sometimes things just don't work out. I believe that Dr. Whitman-Elia is very educated and does the best she can with the technologies available. My husband and I also thought that her staff was very compassionate and friendly, by the second time around they felt like family. We will be using her again in a few months to hopefully conceive our second child and although we have high hopes nothing is ever guaranteed.
