Dr. Samantha M. Pfeifer, MD

I'm not one to write reviews in general, but I had such a positive experience with Dr. Pfeifer and the entire staff at Weill Cornell Center for Reproductive Health that I thought it fitting. I recently underwent a specialized reproductive surgery, and my search for doctor within my network who performed it was in itself complicated. I waited a few months to consult with Dr. Pfeifer, but it was well worth the wait. She is not only an amazing physician in the technical sense, but also a fantastic communicator. Her warmth, sense of humor, and patience in translating all of the medical details helped put me at ease, especially considering that it was my first surgery. Also, the support and nursing staff were professional, responsive, patient, and kind, even in spite of my very neurotic aversion to needles. Highly recommend!

Dr. Pfeiffer may have a lot of medical credentials, however she definitely doesn't get credit in being a sensitive an assertive Dr.. She doesn't return phone calls, has a rude attitude and no sensitivity after failed cycle.

Pfeifer was great during IVF consultation. HOWEVER, during IBF she never called with any sort of results or follow up except for the morning of the transfer. That's it. After a positive pregnancy test, she didn't call. Her nurse did. After a lutheal test my HSG levels are low and might not be a viable pregnancy, still no call. When I asked her secretary for an appointment, receptionist said she will "pencil me in" for 2 weeks from today. I am SO disappointed. And sad really. Such a stressful time and then your doctor doesn't make an effort to speak with you - not a great feeling. I emailed the nurse with one more question after asking many questions on the phone, and she asked me to call Pfeifer. Yea... Good luck with that. GO WOTH someone else.

there are so many good Dr. out there but she most definitely doesn't count as on of them!!! she is hard to get through and past for sending her bills she doesn't care about you

Great doctor!

Our daughter went a year suffering 10 out 10 pain every menstral cycle due to undiagnosed double uterus. Dr Pfeiffer was referred to us through our pediatric ObGyn. Surgery was needed to removed the rt uterus and remove her monthly pain. Dr Pfeiffer diagnosis and treatment was the best music to our eyes and the surgery went as described. Her consultation and bedside manner was encouraging and soothing. We're so happy to have met her and hope anyone with this problem gets a Dr who can help you like dr Pfeiffer helped us.

she is a nice person in general. but impossible to get through!!!!!! IVF is a very painful process as well as very stressfull.. please save yourself stress and get a Dr. who is more personal and easy to get through.

I adore Dr Pfeifer! She is smart, thoughtful and was genuinely excited about my successful IVF process. I could not believe how much time she spent with me during my initial consultation.

The IVF process is a lonely and confusing time. I did not feel supported at all by this doctor; the follow up was completely lacking, there was zero proactive check in on how things were going and I felt that I literally had to fend for myself and be the only advocate of myself during the process. She was also very dismissive of my questions and input. Her nurse was kind and responsive, but I recommend that you try other doctors, please save yourself the energy, you need it much more for the process itself and not dealing with the lack of care.

Ladies please be aware of this physician. I did my homework on the entire practice however, after all said and done was extremely disappointed with her and her staff. She sees you once during the entire process and that's it. She will run tests on you - everything under the sun and even if your FSH and AMH levels are horrible will never suggest other options on ways to become a mother. In fact, she NEVER discusses any of the test results with you. I found it to be my responsibility to call her. Any questions you have good luck on trying to reach her Nurses - they never return calls. There is supposed to be a physician on call during the injection process if you have a brief question - no dr. is on call either. This is very serious if you need to be doing an injection at a specific time. You are responsible for everything. Dr. P's nurse is supposed to run your insurance and see what is covered and what will be out of pocket. Her nurse never made any calls to help me. In fact, I… had to call my ins. carrier to find out. If you have billing questions and need to contact the hospital - all the #'s they provide you are outdated. The departments in the hospital absolutely do not communicate with one another. The process is supposed to be stress free - lol Dr. Pfeifer's staff makes this process overwhelming and you have to obtain information YOURSELF. It really is a do it your self process because Dr. P and her staff are MIA. I would not suggest going to see her unless you enjoy headaches.
