Best Docs ever. Not enough words to describe personalized service. Very skilled and talented. Was able to help me after repeated failures of major fertility centers in NYC. Thanks again.

Dr Rifaat Salem Md and team are amazing. They are so knowledgeable, professional, and inspired confidence for us at our very first visit. Maybe even more important than that, they treated us with kindness, care and sensitivity during every phone call and visit. There are no words to adequately express the appreciation we feel towards the ORM team. 20 more weeks until we meet our baby boy

I was very frustrated not being able to get pregnant and Dr. Salem's staff was very caring. They listened to me and Dr. Salem did a thorough review of my previous records. He has incredible knowledge! My treatment consisted of hormone treatments and an IVF wasn't necessary. I had a healthy baby this summer, thank you thank you!

I'm in my late 40's and a newlywed wanting to have a child. Dr. Salem reviewed my medical records, then explained in great detail what will be involved, without a definite possible result in getting pregnant & sustain that pregnancy. We have a huge decision to make.Dr. Salem was caring,patient,knowledgeable and KIND. I would recommend him to anyone wanting HONESTY & GREAT CARE. THANKS Dr. Salem
