I just came to know about his passing today and i can't believe it. My wife was under his care in 2016 due to high risk pregnancy & we have a beautiful daughter. A great doctor and a great loss for the world.

I just saw this... I was a patient of Dr.Braverman’s. He delivered two of my daughters one in 1991 and the other 1993. I was a high risk patient and Jeff was the most amazing g doctor. I mounted two photos of home delivering my girls that he use to keep in his office. He once slept in the hospital bed next to after I delivered my youngest
daughter..I had some complications and he wanted to make sure I was ok. I have never come across a more caring,loving doctor and I am so sad to hear of his passing. The world has lost a truly amazing doctor and person... all my prayers to his family. I would never have made it through my pregnancies without him. I was truly blessed to have him as my doctor. My prayers for all the family. A grateful patient Laura Sinberg

As we just celebrated my son’s first birthday, I can’t help but think and remember he is with us because of you Dr. B. You will forever be remembered through the eyes of all the babies you brought into the world. And as I begin to feel the urge to do another transfer it saddens me that you will not physically be with us this time. You will never be forgotten. I have my embryos because of you. So thank you thank you thank you.

I just found out about his passing today and I am quite devastated. He was really an amazing person and without him I would not have the two wonderful children I have today. May his memory be a blessing.

Once day while working for Slomin's, I received a call from Jeffrey Braverman, who was just calling to schedule a regular yearly preventative maintenance on his heating system. During the call he placed me on hold many times...lol, busy man I thought to myself. While being on hold I was listening to the recording of his practice, and all the testimonys that run on the hold message..and when he came back on asked "are you a fertility Dr?" He cracked some whitty joke, as he always did and I immediately knew that he was put in my path for a reason. I had been trying for a very long time to have a baby. By the end of the phone call he had tranferred to me to the front desk and my initial appointment with Dr Braverman was made! from the moment we met he made me feel comfortable, always kept a smile on my face and even more important, gave me hope. He effortlessly arranged a treatment plan with me, conferred with other specialists that he trusted and within 6 months from my first meeting with Doc he did my first IUI I had conceived Twins!! His delivery when he told me there were TWO was a funny memory that I still to this day tell when talking about my experience and referring people to him. Dr Braverman was a kind, funny BRILLIANT man and doctor and I am SO sorry to hear this news today! My heart bleeds for his family as this is a tremendous loss. My girls just turned 11 years old yesterday and he will always have a place in our hearts for blessing us with these amazing human beings I get to call my daughters.
May he rest in peace.

Dr B, you completely saved me. No other way to say it. You were the only doctor who ever truly listened and ‘got it’. I was lost in the dark and you turned the light on. I felt scooped under your wing, safe knowing your genius brain and compassionate heart would not give up on me. After so many others had. I feel like the whole world needs to know what a tragedy this is that you’re gone, and they need to be in awe, like we are, of all that you achieved. All those babies Dr B....All that heartbreak you healed. You made the impossible possible. I was in contact with you for over a decade of my life, the most intense profound experience I’ve ever gone through, with the joyous birth of my girls,...the whole time with you there through my email inbox, from Scotland to NY. I will eternally be gutted I never got to meet you in person. My two beautiful daughters are sleeping in their beds as I write this message to you, in tears. I told you many many times but I’ll say it again - Thank you Dr B, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me my family.

I’m so terribly sorry you didn’t get more time with yours. My heart goes out to them. I know they must be indescribably proud of you and miss you terribly. I will think of you for the rest of my life. Rest in peace Dr B XXXX

I just learned the passing of Dr. B through a friend. I was shocked by the news today. I recall meeting him, and felt confident that he would help me along the way, and he did. I now have two boys because of him. Luke is 16 and Zach is 14. Thank you for making my dreams of becoming a mother a reality. I will forever be grateful for all you have done!! I will always think of you, your funny sense of humor, and your fantasy football talk with my husband. You had that special something that no other doctor had...a true genius!!! You have changed so many lives. Rest In Peace, I will never, ever forget you!!!

After 9 heart breaking miscarriages, I met Dr. Braverman. Because of him, I finally became a Mother to my beautiful 3 year old boy. There is nothing on this world that can ever make up for what you did for us. You have a special place in heaven, for bringing so much happiness to so many families. My son gained an extra angel. You will be missed. R.I.P Dr. B. <3

Dr. Braverman was my son's basketball coach last year and prior. He was a gem of a person. His coaching and guidance gave my son the confidence he needed. We all are extremely shocked by this sad news. May he rest in peace.

Rest easy fine gentlemen. You will always remembered fondly by so many! You made this world a better place!❤️

I first met Dr. Braverman 3 1/2 years ago. He was referred to me by a friend because I was told by prior fertility doctors for several years that they were at a loss as to why not one egg (all great quality) would not implant. We had 9 non-successful transfers until I met Dr. Braverman. On our first visit, I was able to tell what a kind and sensitive human being he was. He truly felt bad for all of our losses. On that visit, he told me, I will get you pregnant. With much uncertainty, because of my past track record, I kindly said, "okay" and smiled, still feeling defeated. Well, our little girl is now 2 1/2!!! He was so excited for us that he made the call to tell me I was pregnant. As I share this , I cry because you do not find many completely compassionate and highly intelligent doctors in a lifetime. He was one in a million! I'm so deeply sad to learn about his passing. I pray for his family, colleagues, and staff.

Such sad and devastating news. Dr. Braverman was the best. He delivered my daughter in 2003. He will always have a special place in my heart. May he rest in eternal peace. Such a terrible loss.

I am devastated to hear the news of Dr. Braverman’s passing. It was only last August 2018 that we had our first consult with him. He was kind, caring and hilarious. I couldn’t even cry in his office as I thought I would because he kept making me laugh. What he also said with conviction was: you will be parents and we are going to make sure you take home your baby. As I sit here at almost 17 weeks pregnant, it is only because of Dr B’s expert care and protocol that it is possible. He was a true pioneer and innovator in the field of reproductive immunology and his family and friends should be so proud of how many people he helped and how his work will continue on by his dedicated team. Rest In Peace Dr. B. You will be missed and your life meant so much to so many and always will.

I first came to Dr. Braverman, when I was barely 30 (hard to believe) after I’d collapsed at my workplace in June 2016, shivering/sweating/vomiting in excruciating pain, and was sent via ambulance to North Shore/LIJ Katz Women’s hospital, where they didn’t know what was wrong but, they wanted to do a hysterectomy! I freaked out, my gut instinct told me to refuse this, so after I was able to keep fluids down, have my fever come down and my white blood cell count lower a bit, they said they’d release me from the ER. My husband and I had been married for only 2 years at that point, but had considered starting trying to conceive in a few months, so it was imperative and we started right away, with Basal Body temperature charting (BBT) and everything else for monitoring fertility (I myself, am an only child, a Pergonal baby; an injectable that is no longer on the market...it took my parents over 5 years to conceive me, since my mom also has stage IV Endometriosis and had a laparotomy in the 60s where they insisted on removing her right ovary due to a massive, grapefruit-sized endometrioma ovarian cyst, and then she needed corrective surgery in 1984 with the father/son team Dr.s Albert and Wayne Decker of Manhattan, who both sadly passed away themselves, not long after I was born-my mom still has the paper chart from 1986 showing all the injections, HCG booster shot, and my conception-she was 38 at the time, which was extremely unusual back then). I had had horrific menstrual cramps my entire life since starting menses at a very young age (10 years old-just like my mom-and one of the main hallmark symptoms of Endometriosis patients) as well as other physical pain, basically it feels like a chainsaw going through my uterus every month...OBGYNs kept telling me since my teens that the pain is normal (it is not, as we now know...in fact, 50% of women don’t even have any menstrual pain) and, despite me telling them about my mom having endo, they all claimed I couldn’t possibly have it. So ultimately I knew I needed the proper surgery, not just to help with chances for conception and healthy pregnancy, but also for quality of life and pain. Dr. B. directed me to his colleague, Dr. Vidali, and I eventually had a 7 hour laparoscopic excision surgery of my Endometriosis almost an entire year after I’d fainted at work (required a bowel prep and an overnight hospital stay). I also was diagnosed with stage IV. Then after a few months went by, Dr. V. had me go back to Dr. B. and we completed some minor interventions and treatments, then eventually moved on to IVF, with 2 egg retrieval cycles and 3 frozen embryo transfer cycles (the first transfer was a complete negative, the second ended in a loss, and finally, the third actually, seemingly, has worked-somehow I am 32.5 weeks pregnant, with hopefully a living child on the way!) I still can’t believe it, I was just saying to my husband about 2 weeks ago how I couldn’t wait to come by with our child, once they are safely earthside, and thank Dr. B. and his whole team (as my mom did with me to her fertility doctors too). I’m very sad, he worked so hard. I had been worried about him, as he was out of the office some last fall and then, I finally got to see him on 12/12 before he told me that I definitely needed to transition to an OBGYN at that point (I was like.......no way dude I don’t want to leave your care lol! I don’t trust anyone else!!!!!!) and he looked so frail and weak that day, had lost a lot of weight and his hair had thinned out some. Goodness ☹️ I didn’t feel comfortable asking what was wrong, but I suspected he was battling cancer, and I’m so so sorry that he must’ve suffered, as the months went by I had started to think everything was okay. I just want to add that Dr. B. is so lucky to have a wonderful, caring, brilliant family, and I wish you all the best and will keep you in my thoughts. I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️❤️
