Dr. Sara Jeanette Mucowski, MD

A Cold, Dismissive, and Emotionally Draining Experience — Please Read Before Booking I went to see Dr. Sara Mucowski after discovering my AMH was low. I was looking for clarity, support, and a full picture of my fertility health including egg freezing and the possibility of conceiving naturally. I did every test she recommended and came in prepared to make informed decisions about my future. Unfortunately, what I experienced at her clinic was cold, impersonal, and deeply upsetting. From the beginning, Dr. Mucowski made zero effort to get to know me as a person or understand what I envisioned for my future family, something I find particularly troubling given her specialty. While I respect a fact-based approach, fertility is an area where bedside manner is critical. Instead, she came across as emotionally detached, condescending, and uninterested in helping me make thoughtful, informed choices. She delivered a large amount of complex medical information very quickly, without checking in… to see if I was following or emotionally absorbing it. When I asked clarifying questions, she often interrupted me mid-sentence or said that she had “already answered that” as if I should instantly absorb and understand complicated medical data she spent years studying, all while I was still trying to process the emotional weight of my situation. When I asked her why my AMH levels might be declining so quickly, her only response was, “i don’t know it’s the cards you’ve been dealt.” That really was the extent of her explanation. No curiosity, no exploration of potential causes. Later, I saw a different specialist who actually took the time to explain real, evidence-based possibilities, such as environmental factors or autoimmune disorders, and even referred me to another doctor to investigate further. That’s the kind of thoughtful, complete care I had hoped to receive from Dr. Mucowski but never did. She presented egg freezing as my only option and painted my future as dark and hopeless. When I asked about my chances of conceiving naturally, she said, “I don’t know, you haven’t been trying,” even though she had more than enough data from my full fertility workup to provide an informed response. She offered no other statistics, no context, and no real options. Just doom and fear. To make matters worse, the experience with her staff was just as troubling. The woman who drew my blood ignored me completely for several minutes while sitting on her phone, never greeted me, and just stared at me when I was brought in. Then she asked if I was married. When I told her that my husband passed away a few years ago, she responded by saying she “felt sorry for me because of the dating world.” That comment was incredibly rude, insensitive, and completely uncalled for. In the end, I left this clinic feeling worse than when I arrived… discouraged, unsupported, and like I was just a number in a very impersonal system. Thankfully, I sought out a second opinion. That other doctor treated me like a human being, took time to explain actual reasons behind low AMH, gave me personalized statistics, and even discussed medications that could help if I try to conceive naturally. He told me that some women live with low AMH for years before it fully declines, and that there are options beyond freezing eggs. He gave me facts, hope, and a well-rounded view, everything Dr. Mucowski failed to do. If you're looking for compassionate, thoughtful fertility care that supports your emotional and physical journey, I urge you to look elsewhere. In my experience, Dr. Mucowski and her staff failed in every way that matters.

In our consultations, she was extremely negative...Pointing out my age and how “old” I was and highlighting how slim of a chance we had. I felt pressured into a tube removal procedure and when I asked questions she was short and condescending. When my test results came back my numbers were really good and she would just point out the negative. Also, she said I was a carrier for Tay-Sachs when I switched Doctors is when I realized how bad my experience was with Dr M. My new doctor, Dr. Pinto, was happy and positive. He looked at the results to my tests and did not see evidence of Tay-Sachs. The contrast of my experience with this new doctor really showed me that this scary time didn’t have to be so bleak and, well, scary. I honestly am so thankful to get out from Dr. M’s care when I look back it was such a dark time. Btw, I’m a happy “old” mother of Twins. And the ivf experience however hard and scary it is in itself was actually pleasant with Dr. Pinto.

We'll always be thankful to Dr. Mucowski, thanks to her I'm holding our 2 month old right now! She was always calm and understanding, she explained things so that we knew exactly what was going to happen. She kept realistic but positive at the same time, which made me feel very comfortable along the way, and gave me confidence in the IVF process. She knows what she's doing, and after just one IVF cycle and 3 months after our first visit we got pregnant.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mucowski and her entire office. We were referred to her by my obgyn after struggling for more than a year to get pregnant. Our first appointment was well over an hour long. We discussed our goals, what we've already tried, and what our options are. From there we did some more testing, three unsuccessful IUIs, and eventually moved onto IVF. When you're going through IVF, you see your doctor and staff every day, or every other day. You really want someone your comfortable with, never mind the fact that they're constantly all up in your business, literally. We were successful and got pregnant after one round of IVF with a fresh transfer. We had a scare at 6 weeks and she was calm and helpful about getting me in immediately, and she seemed almost as happy as we were to see that happy healthy little flutter of a heartbeat on the screen. That was last year, and today I am the incredibly proud mother of a 6 month old little boy, that I credit entirely… to their office. Her entire staff was such an integral part to the process that I don't know what I would have done without them.

Dr. Mucowski and her staff were able to evaluate my husband and I and appropriately diagnosed my condition which we did not know about and enabled us to successfully complete fertility treatment and start a family

I was referred to Dr. Mucowski by my Gynecologist after we tried conceiving for more than 9 months. Had a great first consultation and got started right away with diagnostic tests. With each test result we uncovered a different problem hindering my ability to conceive naturally and Dr Mucowski worked with us every step of the way. After 3 failed IUIs and 2 laparoscopic surgeries we had a successful IVF cycle (FET). She and her staff were very understanding and helpful throughout the whole process that took about a year. They are very punctual and the wait time was never more than 5 minutes which is extremely rare in any doctorâ??s office! They have appointments as early as 7.30 so I never needed to miss work for my appointments. Having an entirely female staff helped a lot. The camaraderie was just excellent. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

She was very caring and attentive to my goals and concerns. The staff was excellent as well. Worked with my limited work schedule.

Professional, yet caring. Willing to work around my hectic schedule. Best of all, I'm pregnant!

I simply could not have asked for a better doctor and nurse staff. They were all so calm and reassuring during each visit. Making my nerves a little more settled each time. I seriously call Dr. Mucowski a miracle worker. I know they have the tools to help with the goal at the end. But, they hold a special place in my heart. Thanks again for making our dream come true.

I was so nervous about having to see a specialist, but Dr. M was so kind and comforting. She is very professional and knows what she's talking about. I am so grateful for her and her staff - I wouldn't have my princess without her!
