I honestly don’t know where to begin when describing the journey my husband and I had to get pregnant. Dr. Traub and his incredible dream-team staff took what felt like an impossible road and filled it with hope. At one point, we were coming to terms with the possibility that starting a family might not be in the cards for us—physically or financially. But Dr. Traub refused to let anything stand in the way of success.

What makes Island Reproductive so special is that it’s not just about medicine or money—it’s about making dreams come true. The compassion, dedication, and personalized care we received were beyond anything we could have imagined. The team builds such deep relationships with their patients that when it’s finally time to “graduate” to the next stage of pregnancy, it’s truly bittersweet.

My husband and I will forever be grateful to Dr. Traub and his team for making our dream a reality. If you’re looking for a specialist who truly cares, who fights for you, and who makes you feel like family, I cannot recommend Dr. Traub and his incredible team enough. This is one of the most humble, dedicated, and compassionate places we’ve ever known.

I cannot share enough kind words about this place. When my husband and I walked in back in October (2018), we were welcomed with open arms. After having two cervical procedures, I was rushed by my oncologist to try and get pregnant ASAP as I’ve never gotten pregnant. (PCOS). At our first appointment, Dr. Knochenhauer spent almost an hour with us going over every single detail of my past, present and our hopeful future. He asked all the right questions and let us ask anything and everything we had on our mind. We knew right away we had found the right specialist and office. I had no idea what I was getting into before starting our journey but these people couldn’t have made it any easier for us. They became like family to me. From the front desk, to the ultrasound techs, to the phlebotomists. I can’t find a single fault with anything or anyone here. After 4 months of treatment we are pregnant! Everyone here held our hands the entire way through. I’ve had so many questions this entire journey and I was never rushed off of a phone call or made to feel like I wasn’t important. It makes me so sad to have to leave since we are now pregnant and move on to a regular OBGYN. But I without a doubt recommend this place to anyone trying to get pregnant that’s struggling. You absolutely will not regret it. I owe these people everything. And when it’s time for baby #2, we will be coming back here.

My experience with Dr. Knochenhaur was nothing short of amazing. I felt extremely comfortable, he was very thorough and answered all questions I wanted to know. His surgical team at Staten Island university north including, anesthesiologists, residents, and nurses were an absolute pleasure. They were very friendly made me feel safe and really made it easier for me as I was very anxious about surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Knochenhaur. If you’re looking for a smart, confident, and to the point doctor he is your guy!

Dr. Traub and his staff are amazing! I truly feel supported when I am feeling lost or confused with this whole process.  So much information coming at ya!  They always answer my questions, call or email me back promptly and find solutions when needed. Being on this path has been challenging but having this team behind me has been so helpful. Big thanks to Sally, Melissa and Susan.

Dr. Traub is the most amazing doctor in the world. We had so many things stacked against us. He was compassionate and understanding and was on call for my crazy questions at all times. he really understands that we, as women, are scared and anxious. Sally is a godsend and I truly want her to just be my best friend in the world. After 7 years of infertility we got pregnant with twins on the first try. They are now happy and healthy babies and I have Dr. Traub to thank. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AND HIS CLINIC!

Best doctor ever! Dr. Knochenhauer is very knowledgeable about his entire practice. He does not sugar coat the facts and is very honest when it comes to the possible outcome. My husband and I saw him since January 2017. He sent us both for thorough testing before anything. As a woman of advanced maternal age, he was very honest with us both. It took time and patience. We did IVF with PGS testing 2x and I’m now looking at my beautiful 12 day old daughter. Thank you!
