Doctor Introduction

Dr. Doreen Hock, United States


Dr. Doreen Hock's favorite part of reproductive endocrinology is using the knowledge gained throughout the process to piece the puzzle together.

“It is amazing to see technologies and capabilities that were not even available three years ago,” she says. “I have returning patients who come back for a second child, and I can say, 'This is what we did last time, but this is what we can do now.'

Dr. Hock is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and OB/GYN and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She also earned her medical degree, completed her OB/GYN residency, and completed her reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

Dr. Hock specializes in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and says the latest proven technologies pioneered by RMA have had an incredible impact. “SelectCCS [Comprehensive Chromosome Screening] is a major step in the right direction,” she says, referring to the breakthrough process used to identify the most viable embryo for single transfer. “A great deal of cutting-edge research takes place at RMA. We are leaders, not followers.”

    Extremely Disappointing Experience 1. Lack of Communication: I did not receive any confirmation call or text regarding my appointment and had to follow up myself, which was both inconvenient and concerning. 2. Unhygienic Facilities: The restroom located across from the reception desk — near the coffee and tea bar — was in an unacceptable condition. It was not only unclean, but the toilet had been left unflushed and the door left open, which created a very unpleasant and unsanitary environment. I immediately reported this to the receptionist. A higher standard of cleanliness and facility maintenance is expected. 3. Outdated and Uncomfortable Examination Room: The room designated for the semen analysis was extremely outdated. The floor tiles appear to be decades old. Additionally, the adult content on the TV required patients to purchase viewing minutes, with only brief, silent clips available otherwise — which is inappropriate and impractical for the intended purpose. When I inquired about how the system worked, the technician was unable to assist. Due to these concerns, I chose to leave the appointment and rebook at the Basking Ridge location, which has always provided a significantly better experience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to the Somerset branch. The contrast in quality between locations is stark, and I hope serious improvements are made.

    You are the reason for the best thing in my life—my son ❤️ Thank you, RMA!

    I am extremely grateful to this outstanding team, especially Dr. Leo Doherty and his assistant Jennifer Saldarriaga. You made my family possible. I also want to thank all the nurses and ultrasound teams at the Morristown, Somerset, and Springfield offices, as well as the receptionists and phlebotomy teams at every facility. God bless you all!

    I had an excellent experience at RMA. The doctors, nurses, and care staff are highly professional and outstanding. I received detailed explanations of every part of the process, and the nurses always kept me updated through the portal about test results, medications, and other tasks. Whenever I had questions, messages and calls were answered promptly. As this was my first pregnancy, I was initially very afraid, but RMA made my conception journey much easier. I recommend RMA to anyone seeking assisted reproductive treatment. Trust me, you will not find a better choice than RMA😊

    After nearly two years as an RMA patient, I feel compelled to share my experience so others can make informed decisions. Unfortunately, my time here involved disappointment, poor communication, and a serious surgical error. First, the positive: the front desk staff and phlebotomists are the heart of this institution. Their warm smiles and kindness during early-morning visits brought some comfort during a difficult journey. Unfortunately, that is where the positives end for me. The clinical care lacked a human touch and often felt robotic. I frequently contacted doctors and nurses with questions or concerns and waited weeks for a response, if I received one at all. Communication was not only frustrating but discouraging, especially during treatment as physically and emotionally draining as fertility care. The turning point was surgery at RMA that sent me to the emergency room and later required corrective surgery. I was told my fallopian tube would be cauterized to prevent hydrosalpinx, but the wrong location was cauterized. This error could have ruined my entire fertility journey. Fortunately, a referring physician—ironically, my RMA doctor—helped me find another surgeon who corrected the mistake. The new doctor also encouraged me to seek fertility treatment elsewhere, which I did. I am now 7 weeks pregnant under a completely different team, and I genuinely believe leaving RMA transformed my life. RMA is expensive, and for the price I expected better care. I strongly encourage anyone considering this clinic to research thoroughly and explore alternatives. Fertility treatment is already challenging; you deserve a communicative, caring team that, above all, treats you as a person rather than a number.

    Do not waste your time, money, or energy. Infertility is stressful enough without the added burden of incompetence. 1. My bill had someone else’s name on it. I called finance three times to confirm the charges were actually mine. The woman I spoke with was one of the nastiest people I have ever encountered, and I am a nurse, which says a lot. I asked for a manager, but three days later he still had not called back. 2. Since meeting Dr. Doherty, I have been assigned three different nurses. None responded to my requests for help. You cannot reach anyone by phone. All communication is through a portal and feels entirely robotic. No one communicates by phone. 3. No one answers when you call. You can leave voicemails for days without a return call. Dr. Doherty is kind and thoughtful, but it is unfortunate that he works for such a poor organization. As a nurse, I know the standard healthcare should meet. I have not even begun treatment with them, and this has been my experience so far. It has shown me everything I need to know.

    I am so glad I found a clinic like RMA and a doctor like Dr. Hock. They are the best team I have encountered. My experience was excellent, and they were very attentive. I appreciate their hours because I do not have to miss work, which is a bonus for me. Overall, I would recommend this clinic without hesitation. Thank you for everything you do.

    Dr. Leo Doherty made the consultation very smooth. He ensured I was comfortable and explained everything respectfully and clearly. The other RMA staff were also very helpful and considerate. This made it easier to face and manage such a sensitive time.

    You simply cannot reach them by phone. I tried several times and could not reach a person. I initially chose this clinic because it was close to work, but ultimately selected another solely because someone there answered the phone, was friendly, and asked how they could help. Sometimes good customer service and prompt responses truly make all the difference.

    When I first walked into RMA Somerset in October 2022, I had no idea what lay ahead. From the initial consultation, Dr. Hock listened patiently and attentively to our concerns and gave us hope. After each step, she explained what came next and the issues we faced, then outlined our options and the best course of action. We are deeply grateful to RMA, Dr. Hock, all the kind staff, and everyone involved in this journey. Nearly a year later, we are pregnant! I highly recommend Dr. Hock and the RMA team!

    My husband and I cannot express how grateful we are to Dr. Hock. We established care with her in 11/2020. Unfortunately, our unexplained infertility proved more difficult than expected. Coming from medical backgrounds, we appreciated her algorithm-based, evidence-based approach. When standard treatments failed, she collaborated with other RMA doctors to identify less conventional options that might help our case. She always thoroughly explained her recommendations for the next cycle, including the treatment plan and why she believed it was our best choice. Beyond her clinical expertise, Dr. Hock kept us from losing hope despite several failed transfers. I cannot overstate how important that was in helping us continue treatment, knowing we shared the same goal. Thankfully, after two years of working together, we became pregnant and had a baby girl. We cannot thank Dr. Hock and her RMA team enough. We highly recommend Dr. Hock and RMA to anyone struggling with infertility.

    Dr. Hock is amazing! I felt supported by her at every step. Her bedside manner is wonderful and truly eased my anxiety. I am endlessly grateful to her!
