Dr. Vitaly A Kushnir, MD

Just wanted to express my appreciation to team at CHR for the care and respect I was shown during my visit. Please convey my appreciation also to Dr Kushnir for his patience, persistence, care and the dignity with which he treated me. I was made to feel like a member of the CHR family and not like a patient. I do not have enough words to express my gratitude.

Great doc, very patient and caring!

Dr Kushnir helped us realize our dream of a family. His intellect and skills are superb.

I found Dr. Kushnir to be much more patient and compassionate compared to my prior fertility specialists. He explained my pregnancy chances with each treatment but left the final choice up to me. I was able to get pregnant after 2 rounds of invitro and am expecting in April! CHR coordinators were also very supportive through my cycle especially Tatiana.

Technically knowledgeable and accomplished through research and publications, yes. People skills are not there; he argued with my husband on the phone and denied it and he always looks off to the side, minimal eye contact and acts with suspicion and little empathy. While in the hallway, we overheard him making an insensitive remark about an overweigh and single woman over 40 trying to have a baby; I went home and cried myself to sleep in my husbands arms. The staff will even suggest if you are uncomfortable with him performing a procedure due to his personality and junior experience, you can see Dr Gleicher or Dr Barad - although older, both are very pleasant and great interpersonal skills with significant more client one on one interaction. They all have long wait times......so switch early to one of the other doctors if you can. If you cannot, leave and find a more pleasant, people friendly doctor. This is an emotionally charged journey so you need a caring doctor who shows… it to you every time.
