Dr. Michael L. Traub, MD 237 Richmond Valley Road, Staten Island, NY 10309

"Last year my husband and I came to Dr. Traub struggling to have a baby after a year of trying on our own. He gave me a full work up and also checked my husband, after doing all the tests we had a meeting to come up with a plan. He diagnosed me with PCOS and endometriosis after having a surgery to remove a blocked tube. Then we began the IVF process and I was able to get pregnant on the first round and I am currently almost 8 months pregnant. We could not be more grateful for Dr. Traub and his staff. He is straight forward and to the point, him being so direct really helped me understand my situation, which could be scary but honestly helped so much. He very welcoming and honest which we really appreciated. He answers emails pretty quickly, even on the weekends. He always answered my questions in a moment of panic and calmed my anxiety every time. He was recommend to us and after our experience with him we HIGHLY recommend him. The process is far from easy but a doctor you can trust goes a long way!"

"With the expertise of Dr. Traub, my husband and I were able to conceive naturally and just welcomed a healthy baby boy to our family. There are so many positive attributes to Dr. Traub and his staff but the one attribute that resonates most to me is the passion they have for reproductive health. With their passion and dedication, the team is always willing to go above and beyond to support, navigate and assist you throughout this journey. Dr. Traub is extremely detailed oriented and will take the time to explain the start to end process so you understand the full picture. In addition, he will list out a variety of options on what you can do but will ultimately guide you and suggest what the best course of action is. I would highly recommend Dr. Traub and the team at Island Reproductive. We are so grateful for the gift of life and would have never been able to get here without this team. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"WORST doctor/ SCAM ARTIST! I went to Dr. Traub in 2015 because I had been previously diagnosed with PCOS and was getting frequent periods. After performing various tests which mostly came back normal Dr. Traub decided to put me on metformin for 2 months and then repeat the tests. Once the tests were repeated , he told me that my levels drastically changed and that I had a diminished ovarian reserve. I was 27 years old at the time and told that the quality and quantity of my eggs was low and that if I waited any longer to conceive, IVF most likely wouldn’t work, and if it did, I would most likely mis-carry. I was told if I waited any longer I’d most likely require donor eggs. He stated that if I decided to immediately try to conceive naturally and had a successful pregnancy, by the time I delivered the baby, if I wanted to try for another in the near future I would most likely require donor eggs. Therefore, he strongly encouraged me to freeze my eggs at that time and stressed multiple times that if I did not, I would most likely never be able to conceive on my own. I decided not to go along with his recommendation. I got married in 2018 and became pregnant on the first try and had a wonderful pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy child. When we decided to try for another baby in 2020, I again got pregnant on the first try and had another uncomplicated pregnancy and gave birth to another healthy child. I have also heard of several other people who he has told the same information to, and these people out of fear, went ahead and froze their eggs/embryos. I cannot help but feel this is all a way for him to make money"

"Dr. Traub and his staff is simply amazing! He is extremely informative, knowledgeable and he is always reachable! Even outside of office hours- if you have a question- you can email him and he will ALWAYS reply back promptly! Dr. Traub truly cares about his patients and is not looking to make anyone do any unnecessary procedures or treatments that aren’t needed! I know this from my previous experience with another clinic. Nurses Sally and Karen are amazing as well! They are attentive, supportive and explain everything in the process very well! They will make you feel comfortable and at ease. The rest of the staff at the office is extremely nice as well, they all knew me after a few visits and made us feel very welcomed every time we came in for a visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Traub and his staff for anyone with an any kind of fertility question or issue. Thank you Dr. Traub!"

"Dr. Traub and his staff are amazing. He is definitely straightforward and to the point, which might not be for everyone, but because of him I have my daughter and that’s all I could ask for. The team of nurses there are extraordinary, Brenda and Sally are my hero’s. I can’t say enough nice things about his team. Make an appointment and remember to love yourself through the process."
