Dr. Check and his staff are amazing as I went through close to a year journey at their office. My experience of infertility had alot of ups and downs and eventhough I wanted to give at times. Dr. Check's office refused to give up on me. They encouraged me to not put myself down. They were determined with helping me have a healthy pregnancy. Now we have a beautiful 4 month old baby boy who is the light of our world. I can not thank the office enough who made my dream of becoming a mommy come true.
My husband and I did a LOT of research before choosing Cooper for embryo donation. We used my husband's sperm and almost immediately found an egg donor that we were very impressed with. I was 54 when we became pregnant with our little girl; Dr. Chang did our procedure and we spoke several times with Dr. Check, who was always willing to take as much time as we needed for explanation and support. We were thrilled to get pregnant on our first try, and in June of 2018 at the age of 55 I delivered a very healthy (apgar 7,7 and 8) baby girl. She is doing wonderfully, and every day we thank God for Dr. Check and Cooper. They have made our dreams come true!
After being told at my previous clinic I should get donor eggs after 2 failed IVFs, at 31 and already having one child, I switched to Dr. Check's office. He, along with his staff, were so positive and helpful. I knew that we'd finally have another baby. Check tried many different things and allowed me to cycle through each month. Eventually we got pregnant by IUI. He is amazing! My aunt saw him and he also helped her to get pregnant 25 years before me. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you for my princess!
I had a hard time getting pregnant second time around. No issues with my first child at all, happened as soon as we started trying. With my second child (same partner), we tried for about 1.5 years and nothing. My co-worker recommended to see Dr. Jerome Check.
At our first visit Dr. Check was able to identify my and my husband's issues and act fast. He is a very pleasant doctor who is working on treating an existing issue instead of trying to treat everything that could go wrong. After 1.5 years of trying, it took us only 2 weeks to get pregnant. Staff of this office is very nice and helpful. I was there for the 1st 3 months of my pregnancy (I had a very low progesterone and it was hard for me to keep my pregnancies on top of other issues) and they watched me very closely. I know everyone has different issues and needs different procedures but with only a 25% chance from the procedure I received, I got pregnant and now raising my amazing little boy. Thank you Dr. Check.
We were given a 5% chance at another clinic after our first IVF failed. We thought for sure our second one would too. However, after meeting Dr. Check we were finally given hope. Dr. Check actually diagnosed us at our first appointment and we found out we had female and male infertility! But because we now knew what was wrong we were able to treat it and we now have a son who is almost a year old! Without this clinic we would have never have had our miracle child. Thanks to everyone who help us!
Me and my husband and I tried for 6 1/2 years with another doctor to get pregnant. After 4 miscarriages and no answers, we decided to change doctors. I got an appointment with Doctor Check, and my first visit to him was 2 hours and 45 mins long. What specialist do you know that spends that kind of time with you? He was so informative and so positive and so determined to give us a baby, I knew we had made the right choice. After a few tries, and a couple losses, with Dr Check and some out of the box thinking we got pregnant and stayed pregnant. Our beautiful son was born April 2011, and it's because of Dr Check. The staff was so caring and comforting while going through this very personal situation. Many of the staff understands what it's like to not just "get
pregnant" when you are ready to have a child. I made many friends
through the staff while I was a patient there. We have our son because of
Dr. Check
Because of Dr. Check and what he did for me, I was able to pay it
forward and carry twins for a dear friend of mine, who now also shares in
the joys of being a Mommy. Thank you Dr. Check and Staff for all of your
hard work and compassion!
After over a year of trying to conceive on our own, a friend recommended Dr. Check and the team at Cooper Institute for Reproductive and Hormonal Disorders. She too had struggled with infertility and could not say enough about how amazing the center was. We had tried clomid several times and even started testing and consultations at another clinic, but we felt lost. We had no idea what we were doing or why or what, if anything was wrong. Upon my first meeting with Dr. Check he was able to guess everything we had already gone through with a few simple questions. He was not quick to give a diagnosis or recommend a specific treatment plan but he was confident that WE would indeed become parents one day. Through working with Cooper we have come to understand that there is no one way fix or path to parentdom. Rather it is a unique individualized approach.
Every doctor at Cooper is quite amazing and I felt confident and secure in each one's care. We worked closely with Dr. Cohen and her knowledge and expertise far exceeded our expectations. The center has two locations and had convenient hours, even for our very busy schedule. Perhaps most importantly the entire staff not only offer guidance, but kindness, empathy and compassion to couples experiencing infertility. Infertility can be such an emotional roller coaster, but even at our lowest lows the staff at Cooper gave us hope and encouragement. They were always there to answer our questions or ease our anxiety. They truly were a light at the end of a tunnel and without them, I am not sure were we would be.
Like the friend that once recommended me, I can not say enough good things about the team at Cooper Institute of Reproductive and Hormonal Disorders. In my opinion the center is the whole package and more! Whether you are just beginning your journey or have been on it for longer than you had hoped, talk to the team at Cooper. You won't regret it!
Dear Dr. Check,
My wife, Susanne, and I, after multiple failed IVF attempts at another clinic stopped in for a consult and immediately, in for just a few hours and tests, you determined that we were able to have a child of our own with a little boost of progesterone. In the first case, we were pregnant right away!! We are 8 days from our due date, the joy you have already helped my wife and I to share leaves us in priceless debt to you! Thank you for being amazing and believing.
I am currently 27 weeks pregnant, thanks to the amazing care that I received from Dr. Check and his entire staff. The only way to describe my experience with Dr. Check, Nurse Jackie and the entire staff at Cooper, is that it was extraordinarily different. I had seen two different REs previously (one who is allegedly renowned in the field) and they both treated me like a hopeless case and frankly, I felt like a leper when leaving their offices. One actually attempted to treat me (which was a horrible experience riddled with excessive drugs and resulting in my ovaries shutting down for several months). I was left feeling hopeless and deeply depressed after seeing 2 RE's over 6 months, both who told me I had a 0-5% chance of getting pregnant ever. If you have 'high FSH' and/or 'low AMH' like I do, don't see anyone but Dr. Check. Even if you have 'great numbers' I would never send anyone I know to another doctor besides Dr. Check (and his team).
From the moment I met Dr. Check, he spoke to me with kindness, calmness, and honesty. He is truly a brilliant man, and I appreciated his thorough explanations and dedicated approach. Dr. Check has only ONE goal in mind - to get you pregnant! He did not and will not try scare tactics to make money (sadly, many others will), and he also does not seem to think any case is too difficult. He truly cares for his patients and amazingly, he is completely humble despite his many achievements in medicine.
After years of doctors, drugs and disappointments, I was done trying to conceive until I learned of Cooper Institute. This was my last shot. Dr. Check is an absolute genius and knew exactly what drugs and what dosages I needed to help me conceive. Just a couple months after my first meeting with him, I was pregnant!!!! After 8 agonizing years of trying!!!! Cooper Institute, along with Dr. Check, Dr. Cohen and all its associates has been a a great blessing to my husband and I. We are eternally grateful!!
The journey through fertility treatments is not an easy one; and one I could not have taken without the support of the doctors, nurses, and staff at CCIVF. As an out of town patient, I was provided careful monitoring while out of state. When I came to the Center for my treatments, I was treated like family. For this, I am forever grateful. CCIVF provided the expertise and encouragement that made the miracle of my child's life a possibility.
Dear Dr. Check,
On Father's Day, June 21, 2015, we had our beautiful daughter Rose. How can I say thank you enough for all that you have done for me and my husband? You not only helped me achieve my dream of being a mother after waiting 5 years, you gave me my life back. I am no longer angry, resentful, bitter and depressed. I had given up on having children, so we adopted two children. You were the fourth doctor I had gone to see about keeping my pregnancies. You treated me like an individual and not like a number. You thought outside of the box and truly tried to help me. You gave me hope to believe that I could achieve my dream of being a mother. You convinced me not to use a sperm donor, and you were right; I would have regretted it. I am so elated and amazed that she's really here. I finally have my miracle baby and I owe it all to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If we decide to have another baby, we will definitely come back to the practice. Again, thank you so very much for everything.
Forever Grateful,
My husband and I went to Dr. Check after almost 2 years of trying on our own... I, myself, felt scared and damaged as a woman who could not do what a woman's body was meant to do. From the minute we walked into the office, I felt myself relax and more at ease ... Everyone in there made us feel comfortable, made us laugh, and made me feel "ok". When we met Dr. Check, he educated us on the many aspects of infertility and how it related to us. He explained to us how we would proceed, and for the first time, we had a plan to becoming parents. With the many ups and downs we experienced, the office staff and nurses went above our expectations to help us with varying insurance, billing, and prescription issues to make our journey as easy as they could. We are grateful to all who helped us along the way and look forward to our new addition.
After many ups and downs, we both feel the need to say: Thank you for giving us the gift that we both have so desperately wanted... There are not enough words to describe this. And to all the Internal Staff - you guys are the best at your jobs and will be missed... always helpful and informative!
I always wanted to be a mom and at 39 I came to realize I'd need to take a non-traditional path to do so. I went to Cooper IVF as a single woman and no one batted an eyelash. In fact they welcomed and supported me in realizing my dream to become a mother. The doctors have the knowledge and skill to help women achieve pregnancies. The nurses, ultrasound and bloodwork techs, and office staff not only cheer you on and celebrate your successes, they also share in your disappointment when things don't go as planned. They truly are in your corner and want to see you succeed. And I did! I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl at the age of 40. Two years later I went back to Cooper because I wanted to extend my family. Once again, I was welcomed with open arms. And now my arms are filled with my baby boy. We are a happy family of 3 because of the skill, knowledge, effort, and care delivered by those at Cooper.
We went to Cooper 12 years ago. My partner and I had tried 3 different places with no success. We are celebrating our son's 12 Birthday the 16th of December!! We could not have had him without Dr. Check and his team!!! They made a miracle!!!!!! We will forever be thankful and will be Cooper's Cheerleading Team forever!!!
24 years ago I decided that I wanted to have more children but I couldn't have anymore children ,because my doctor back thenrecommended that I don't have anymore children because I already had three C-sections. I went to A new gynecologist and told her that I would like to have more children and she recommended that I go to see Dr. Check and Dr. Chase, so I did. I went on to the donors list, because my insurance would not cover it. I was picked within a few months. I had the procedure done,I had four eggs that I had put back in, I gave birth to triplets on March 12, 1993
My experience was great. The office staff was supportive and very friendly. They became friends not just office staff. Dr Check and Dr Cho helped me have my baby boy born Christmas of 2015. I highly recommend them.
Before Dr. Check, my husband and I tried for a year with another doctor, with little to no hope. My mother in law recommended Dr. check (he was able to give her a set of twins.) During the first visit with Dr. Check, he was able to diagnose me and start the process. Yes there were many ups and downs but every single doctor/ nurse in his offices, made me feel comfortable and at ease in their hands. The nurses especially were always there to left me up when I was ready to give up. After many miscarriages and uncertainty, Dr. Checo, blessed me with a healthy pregnancy and now my 3 month old beautiful little girl. I'm forever grateful for Dr. Check and his practice at the cooper Institute.
