From our very first consultation with Dr. Moghadam, we felt informed, supported, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Moghadan is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain every step of the IVF process. He was transparent about what to expect, answered our questions honestly, and made sure we understood both the challenges and the possibilities. That gave us confidence from the very beginning. He made us feel hopeful while also being realistic. One thing that really stood out was how organized the entire office is. I never once felt lost in the process. I always knew what the next step was, when it would happen, and exactly what I needed to do. IVF involves a lot of medications, injections, and timing, which can feel overwhelming. However, thanks to the medication “flow sheet” they provided, I never had to guess, call to ask, or worry that I was doing something incorrectly. It gave me so much confidence and made an intimidating process feel manageable. The nurses and front desk staff were exceptional. Every single person I interacted with was kind, patient, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. Even on the rare occasions I had a question, someone almost always answered the phone immediately. If I had to leave a voicemail, I would receive a call back within the hour. Their communication was outstanding. What meant the most was that I never felt like just another patient. I always felt seen, cared for, and supported. IVF is such a vulnerable journey filled with so many emotions, and having a team that truly cares makes all the difference. I loved this office and everyone in it so much that I wished they could continue caring for me throughout my entire pregnancy. That says everything about how much trust and appreciation I have for this team. Thank you, Dr. Moghadam and the entire staff, for making one of the most emotional journeys of our lives feel organized, supported, and hopeful. We are forever grateful for everything you did for our family. IVF can feel overwhelming, lonely, and emotional, but this team never let us feel like we were navigating it alone. Because of their expertise, organization, and genuine compassion, we are now expecting our sweet baby girl. We will always be grateful for everything they did to help make our dream of growing our family come true.Fertility clinic

I selected this clinic specifically for remote monitoring because I was verbally assured over the phone that they were able to perform STAT fertility labs. On Friday 5/8/26 at approximately 7:30 AM, the clinic phone lines were not open as expected. Mary, the medication technician, later stated she had arrived late to work and that the clinic was understaffed. Throughout the morning, I experienced significant difficulty submitting my lab orders. At one point, I was instructed to have my fertility clinic send FSH and LH as non-STAT orders, which is not appropriate given the time-sensitive nature of fertility monitoring. I was then instructed to have my clinic resend a revised order set excluding labs the clinic apparently does not perform, including AMH, TSH, T3, T4, and quantitative hCG. I found this surprising for a clinic providing fertility monitoring services. Even after these corrections, a fourth phone call was necessary simply to confirm that the clinic had everything required for my scheduled 8:00 AM appointment on Monday, May 11th, during a critical time window for cycle day 1 monitoring. During this period, Dr. Moghadam was extremely condescending and chastised me for calling the clinic four times over an eight-hour period, stating that I was “not his only patient.” He also threatened multiple times to contact CNY Fertility and repeatedly threatened to dismiss me as a patient. At the end of the call, Dr. Moghadam berated me, made threats, and spoke to me in an intimidating and dismissive manner. When I politely asked him to have some patience with me, he responded sharply, “Patience?! We’re not going to go there…” By the end of the call, I felt completely violated and humiliated. No patient—especially one navigating fertility treatment—should be treated this way. As a result of this experience, I will not be continuing care with this clinic. I strongly believe Dr. Moghadam’s conduct was inappropriate and incompatible with the level of professionalism and compassion patients deserve in healthcare, particularly in women’s healthcare and fertility-related services.After years of being told everything was fine by other doctors, Dr. M and the team at Austin Fertility Institute truly listened to us and helped us uncover what was really going…After years of being told everything was fine by other doctors, Dr. M and the team at Austin Fertility Institute truly listened to us and helped us uncover what was really going on. Their level of detail, care, and thoughtfulness is unmatched. I’ve never worked with a more caring team. We were so grateful for them that we actually missed them after graduating from IVF to our OB! Thanks to AFI, we grew our family and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Highly recommend this incredible group!I can't say enough about how amazing the AFI team is.

Austin Fertility Institute has successfully assisted my family to create two sweet blessings... currently prego with the second. Dr. Moghadam and his staff provide education, support, and reassurance throughout the IVF process. I truly appreciate that Dr. Mogi functions on best practice and advises his patients in the same manner. This is an HONEST practice that will help you achieve your goals of building a family 💗 Thank you so much specifically- Dr. Moghadam, Tasha, Amy, and Tara for changing my life and blessing our family.Thank you Dr. Moghadam and his team for making our dreams come true!

The first time was with my twins and the second time around has been amazing with a singleton. Both times were successful, and I appreciate all his knowledge and patience along the journey. I would not use any other fertility clinic. We’ve had the best experience!Dr. M changed our life. We are forever grateful for the miracle he helped bring into our lives.

His expertise is greatly appreciated. We are so thankful for everything he did to help get our baby. It was a stressful time yet the team(Urse Amy, Nurse Kaitlyn and Natasha)has been very supportive and encouraging on every step of the way. Thank you for the exceptionally detailed and personalized care.We are incredibly grateful for the care we’ve received thus far at AFI.

I’m writing this review while we are still actively in the middle of our fertility journey. We are hopeful for what’s ahead, but I also feel it’s important to honor our experience as it stands right now and it has been one of genuine care and support. Dr. Moghadam is knowledgeable and thorough. He is present for nearly every ultrasound and monitoring appointment. The amount of time he spends explaining, educating, and answering our questions is so valuable. What stands out most is that he truly looked at our individual case. He pursued proper testing, dug deeper when others hadn’t, and ultimately provided us with a diagnosis that had previously been missed. He also made thoughtful referrals to other specialists when needed, showing that his priority was getting to the root cause. The nurses and staff are incredible. They are compassionate, patient, and consistently kind. It’s comforting to walk into appointments and be greeted by familiar faces who know and care about you. That consistency in both provider and staff makes such a difference. We are thankful to be with this care team and would highly recommend this practice.I’m sharing this because I wish someone had warned me.

I left this clinic early in IVF treatment because I no longer trusted the physician’s medical judgment and did not feel emotionally safe continuing care. During IVF and early pregnancy bleeding, I experienced a pattern of dismissive and intimidating communication. Legitimate medical questions were mocked. I was given ultimatums about procedures rather than collaborative discussion. When I requested HCG monitoring during bleeding and after multiple multiple miscarriages, my concerns were initially ignored and dismissed. During one visit, I was left physically exposed on an exam table while the hallway door was opened. I felt unsafe and violated. I left multiple conversations with this physician sobbing. I developed anxiety before visits and felt fearful about speaking openly. A staff member quietly acknowledged that similar concerns had occurred before, reinforcing that this did not feel isolated to me. After transferring care, my OB immediately identified and treated a UTI during routine early pregnancy labs that had not been addressed by AFI. During a medically sensitive time, discovering that something so basic required attention further eroded my trust. I also encountered concerning issues around lab billing and explanations were unclear and inconsistent. Given the financial burden of fertility treatment, that lack of transparency added to my distrust. The cumulative experience felt emotionally abusive to me. I did not feel safe, respected, medically secure, or financially confident in how my care was being managed. Women deserve trauma-informed, thorough, and transparent fertility care. I would not recommend AFI.Let’s star here. I am giving a one star just because google does not have a poor/zero review.

I am still on my car thinking about the next step, I am very very offended because my cycle will be over for this month. I am giving you Austin Fertility institution (Dr and your team) the hand to take a legal action about your allegation toward me, please as your receipts. This is unacceptable behavior. Will come back to write my story.Could not be more grateful and appreciative of this clinic.

We originally consulted and got a price quote, but life happened and we came back almost a year later and he still honored his quote even though he didn’t have to. He was extremely through throughout the entire process, and very on top of anything, which is great in IVF considering all the things going on. The staff were very nice every-time as well. We’re very thankful his knowledge and experience helped us complete our family.Edited November 2025; My original review stands!

Dr. M and his staff are absolutely incredible and without them, my husband and I wouldn’t have our boys. I will forever be thankful for Austin Fertility Institute for making us parents. Our family is now complete! ❤️❤️ Amazing doctor and staff is an understatement! I can't wait to continue working with them on our fertility journey!!Wish I could give Dr. M & AFI 10 stars!!

We truly cannot recommend them enough. Dr. M is an absolute expert. He provided exceptional, very customized care as we sought to expand our family after experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss. Dr. M spent countless hours with us, explaining the procedures and protocols very clearly and answering our many questions. We never felt rushed, and he always took the time to listen to us. He also performed multiple procedures with extreme precision and skill. Dr. M's team of nurses and medical assistants are incredibly kind, helpful, and supportive, and it truly feels like a family (especially when you are spending so much time at the clinic during fertility treatments!). We are very happy and grateful to have just recently graduated from AFI with a healthy pregnancy. Dr. M is known as the best fertility doctor in Austin for a reason - you can't go wrong!!I had the best experience w AFI!

Graduated once again from Dr Ms w my second baby & I will forever be grateful for being able to grow our family! After doing 2 rounds of IVF at a different clinic in town and only having a 1/3 success rate w transfer I wasn’t sure if I would ever get my chaotic loud family that I dreamed of. I got MUCH better results w AFI on all levels: lower levels of hormones used, higher follicle and embryo yield and 2/2 transfer success rate! Cannot say enough good things about Dr M and his entire staff.We highly recommend Dr. Moghadam and the Austin Fertility Institute. After several years of trying to conceive and working with multiple doctors and clinics without success, our…We highly recommend Dr. Moghadam and the Austin Fertility Institute. After several years of trying to conceive and working with multiple doctors and clinics without success, our endocrinologist referred us to Dr. Moghadam, and it made all the difference. From the very beginning, Dr. Moghadam stood out as the most straightforward, knowledgeable, and informative doctor we had met. He provided expert care with honesty and clarity, and his entire team created an environment that was both highly professional and sincerely supportive. Thanks to Dr. Moghadam and his staff, our first round of IVF was successful, and in 2022, we welcomed a beautiful and healthy baby girl into our lives. Two years later, when we decided to grow our family, we returned to the Austin Fertility Institute, and after another successful transfer, we welcomed a little sister in 2025. What we appreciated most was how genuinely personalized the care felt. Dr. Moghadam always took the time to answer every question, explain each step in detail, and ensure we felt confident and supported throughout the journey. The entire crew was responsive, attentive, and compassionate, making us feel like we were in the best possible hands. We are forever grateful to Dr. Moghadam and the Austin Fertility Institute for helping us achieve our dream of building a family. If you are searching for a fertility specialist who combines world-class expertise with genuine care, look no further than Dr. Moghadam.I would definitely recommend Dr. Moghadam to anyone in the area with support needs.

I never felt in the dark about my treatment; he and the nurses were available to explain protocols. The surgery center staff was also incredibly kind and professional. He is the only specialist in his practice, so I didn’t feel as though I had a long interim of appointments prior to seeing the doctor. However, understand that will typically come with a decent wait time and a commitment to appointments- depending on your job you may need to get that sorted first. He helped us find our solution to becoming parents and we have a little one due this summer 🤍. We plan to see him again for our second if we are still in the area!Horrible experience!

You may need to be familiar with medical jargon to follow the conversations and treatments plans. The staff is also very well trained and knowledgeable. Cons: the bedside manner was traumatizing to the extent that wanted me to feel small. That wasn’t a side effect—it was the goal. And the worst part? Watching me struggle seemed to make him feel powerful.Highly recommend AFI and Dr. M!

After years of trying to conceive with several different doctors and clinics (mostly due to us moving cities) and trying varying levels of treatments with no success, we found Dr. M to be the most straightforward and informative doctor we saw. He was able to explain new things that other doctors hadn’t, was upfront about IVF being the right option for us without being pushy, and explained why the other treatments we’d had didn’t work. Dr. M and his amazing staff were professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. We were lucky to have success on our first round of IVF and just celebrated our baby’s first birthday. The AFI team is great and we will definitely return when we’re ready to add to our family.Where do I even begin when talking about my gratitude for AFI and Dr M.

We chose to pursue reciprocal IVF, and from the beginning, Dr. Moghadam was respectful and knowledgeable about our path to parenthood. I had a long history of extremely painful periods, and Dr. Moghadam was the first doctor to correctly diagnose me with endometriosis. He referred me to an excellent surgeon for a myomectomy, which helped lay the groundwork for a successful transfer. After healing, we had a healthy baby following our first embryo transfer. When we decided to grow our family, we returned to Austin Fertility Institute and are now expecting our second baby in November after another successful transfer. The care we received felt genuinely personalized. Dr. Moghadam always took the time to answer our questions and walk us through each step of the process. While wait times can sometimes be long at times, it’s because he gives each patient the time and attention they need—and we really appreciated that. His staff was also incredibly kind and accommodating. They were especially understanding of my fear of needles and helped me build a routine that made blood draws much more manageable. Fertility treatment can be overwhelming, but having a team that treated us with respect, compassion, and care made all the difference. We're grateful to Austin Fertility Institute for helping us build our family.Dr. Moghadam is very kind and passionate about his work and has much empathy for his patients.

His staff are very professional and communicate the importance of medication schedules very clearly. Also they tried very hard to save us money on medications and gave samples when available. We went through several IVF procedures, but the donor agency did not advise us about the difference between a proven donor versus a non proven donor. We were so new at it.. We unfortunately were unable to succeed after already spending around $50K between two different IVF treatment facilities. Despite all of this, Dr. M. never gave up and still tried his best to always go to plan B, and C, but we accepted responsibility for the fact that we may have made the wrong decision with our donor. Despite all throughout the process we felt VERY cared for and supported. I highly recommend Dr. M to anyone with fertility issues. We are thinking of returning after we have saved up enough money for surrogacy.Dr Mahogdam gives expert care. We trusted him completely with our fertility journey.

Your not just a number your his patient and Once you get to know him he truly cares for you. He is the only doctor at his clinic please be patient.

It was clear to my husband and I he wasn’t just pushing us to the most expensive option, but instead diagnosed me with endometriosis, treated me, and we were blessed to conceive our daughter unassisted after the surgery. His practice is busy, so you may experience some long waits, but that is also the nature of medicine when the doctor has surgeries scheduled as well as taking the time to care for his patients rather than rushing them through. I will continue to recommend AFI to anyone I know who is looking for a fertility specialist!Updated Review – Full Journey Reflected Now that we’ve come full circle in our fertility journey, I wanted to share a more comprehensive review of our experience with Dr. M and…Updated Review – Full Journey Reflected Now that we’ve come full circle in our fertility journey, I wanted to share a more comprehensive review of our experience with Dr. M and his clinic. To begin, I want to acknowledge that Dr. M is a highly competent physician. From the start, he was transparent about our treatment plan and laid out a clear path based on my diagnosis and insurance coverage. We went through one cycle of IVF, which resulted in two viable embryos being frozen. At the time, we hoped for two children, and Dr. M presented us with our options: undergo a second IVF cycle (likely out-of-pocket but with a claim submitted for potential reimbursement) or try IUI. Though I was initially skeptical about IUI, especially given our past struggles, Dr. M encouraged us to consider it—and thankfully, after two cycles, it worked. While we’re deeply grateful that we ultimately achieved our goal of becoming parents, I do want to be candid about the challenges we faced. Dr. M’s bedside manner left much to be desired. While I do believe there is a baseline level of compassion necessary in this field—and he certainly possesses some—I wouldn’t describe the overall patient experience as warm or empathetic. A particularly difficult moment came at 8 weeks pregnant when I experienced heavy bleeding. Unable to reach the clinic during business hours, I texted Dr. M using the number he provided for emergencies. His reply was, “This is inappropriate use of my cell phone. My staff will call you back.” When I was seen at the clinic, he told me in a very dismissive tone, “Your baby is fine, just as I thought,” without showing any empathy for what had been a deeply distressing situation. Fast forward 9 months, and we welcomed a healthy baby boy. After a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, we decided our family was complete. With two frozen embryos still stored at the clinic, I reached out to inquire about our options. Unfortunately, the process of getting clear answers from the staff member in charge was frustrating and vague. It felt like pulling teeth to get any concrete information. I eventually spoke with Natasha at the front desk, who deserves special recognition for always being kind, helpful, and compassionate. Following that conversation, Dr. M called me directly. Rather than addressing my concerns or acknowledging the lack of communication, he defended his staff, highlighted their ability to work from home, and pointed to his clinic’s overall success. He suggested the issue might be in how I was asking my questions—not the quality of the responses being provided. Eventually, we were able to retrieve our embryos from the lab, and the staff there was professional and kind throughout the process. In summary, while I am truly thankful to Dr. M for helping us become parents, I can’t ignore the emotional toll of an experience that often felt transactional and lacking in compassion. If your insurance gives you access to a clinic where you can expect more empathetic and supportive care, I would encourage you to explore those options.I have been a patient of AFI (off and on) for 7 years.

After my first born passed away of a genetic condition, I was desperate for the hope that we could have more children. I visited with Dr M a few months after her passing - knowing I may not be ready for those next steps - but I walked away feeling hope for the first time in a few dark months. I knew when we were ready to explore IVF it would be with Dr M. He encouraged me not to rush, to really process my grief, before beginning a very physically and emotionally taxing process. I have loved ALL his nurses and techs. They are kind, gentle with the tough home calls, and your cheerleader when you need it. We are beyond grateful to Dr M and his staff that now 7 years later I have had 2 healthy children and one more on the way. If you want a brilliant, results-driven physician who really DOES care, this is your place. You won’t feel like a number, like some larger clinics. And how sweet that he hosts a baby reunion each year to celebrate his patients and their growing families!We were told in 2023 that we'd never be able to have kids by another fertility specialist.

Me and my husband started with another fertility clinic initially, and while it was fine I just didn't really feel like it was a good fit for us. We decided to make an appointment with AFI and it was the best decision! We completed 1 round of IVF with great results, and are going to be welcoming a sweet baby boy April 2025. I cannot thank Dr.M, the medical assistants, and nurses enough. I see reviews talking about Dr.M’s bedside manner, and I can’t relate to any of them. Dr.M is very straightforward, and while some may not prefer that, I love it. He’s there to do his job, not sugar coat things for you. I can say whole heartedly say Dr.M was genuinely happy for us throughout our whole journey. Dr. M is my most favorite doctor I have ever seen! Thank you Dr.M for always answering my phone calls with silly questions, being so caring, and funny! Also the medical assistants and nurses are absolute angels. Literally the best team I could have asked for! At my last appointment I bawled my eyes out giving each team member a hug. I spent so much time with them the last few months, and I was so sad to leave them. If I could stay my whole pregnancy I would! This journey was hard, but AFI made it such an enjoyable and easy process. I cannot wait to see you all again for baby number 2… and 3… and maybe even 4! 😂❤️There are not enough words to express how grateful we are to Dr. M and his staff!

Let me start out by saying he is very direct and honest, which in a fertility journey is something you want! I appreciated the fact that he doesn’t dance around any issues and gives you all of the facts up front for your specific journey. You can tell by the knowledge he has and the care he has for his patients, that he is passionate about what he does. My husband and I had tried for 6 years to have kids and we had just about given up when we met with Dr. M. We were very calm and pretty chill about it which probably confused Dr. M a bit but he was willing to take us seriously and recommend we try IUI first. Of course, leaving the decision up to us. With all of the stats given to us, we opted for IUI, it did not work, which was NO fault of AFI. Dr. M gave us the probability of success rate for another round of IUI and given my age, he said IVF would be our best chance. Again, he left the decision up to us! We opted for IVF since I personally felt my hubby and I were running out of time to have a family. My first round of IVF and embryo transfer worked! 9 months later I was able to deliver our healthy baby boy! A complete dream come true! Fast forward to my son being a year old, we decided to contact Dr. M again for another embryo transfer. My second time, it worked as well and now we are about to welcome our little girl into this world! I cannot thank Dr. M enough for taking us seriously and helping us achieve the family that we have now! Of course we can’t thank him enough for putting our minds at ease with all of the facts and Chicago Bears conversations! I cannot forget to mention his wonderful staff as well! Thank you to Dr. M and his amazing team, from the front desk, to his assistants and nurses and the lab for everything they have done for us! I will forever recommend anyone to AFI!This review is long overdue, but I want to take a moment to share my experience for anyone searching for a fertility doctor. You are in the right place! Initially, I was a bit…This review is long overdue, but I want to take a moment to share my experience for anyone searching for a fertility doctor. You are in the right place! Initially, I was a bit apprehensive due to some reviews mentioning less-than-ideal bedside manner. Already feeling vulnerable, I was nervous about feeling unheard or dismissed. However, since becoming his patient in 2022, I can confidently say that Dr. M is the best doctor I've ever had, and we have had a great experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable and it shows in every aspect of his practice. When you visit him, the goal is to start or grow your family, not to receive sugar-coated reassurances. Dr. M is direct, professional, and exceptionally skilled at what he does. Once you get to know him, you'll find he's also funny and lovable and truly wants to help you with your fertility goals. Thanks to Dr. M and his wonderful team, we now have our sweet boy who is now 17 months. Without Dr.M I'm not sure we would be parents today. We recently visited Dr.M with our son he helped make possible to discuss doing another transfer, and the whole experience was wonderful. Given our circumstance of needing to be here in the first place, for what it is, we are happy to be back in the care of Dr.M and his team as we continue to grow our family.We couldn't be happier with our experience with Dr. M and his team.

He is kind, thoughtful, compassionate, knowledgeable and actually takes the time to listen to your questions and concerns and address them promptly. You can’t have a better doctor to partner with for your fertility treatments. His entire team is absolutely amazing. They greet you with a smile and remember your name and truly care about you. You get to always see the same people every time you go there and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you, Dr. Moghadam and team for giving me the best gift ever: the gift of motherhood! I’ll see you soon for the next one!There is simply no one else we’d trust with our journey to complete our family. We are beyond happy with the care we’ve received over the years.

Throughout our fertility journey, I was unbelievably impressed with the attention to detail and education that Dr. Moghadam provided. I can unequivocally state this without hesitation - Dr. M genuinely cares about each patient that walks through the door, AND is laser focused on helping them achieve the best possible outcome. I firmly believe he's one of the last few souls that chose medicine for the right reasons, and continues to instill this mantra in his practice today. While compliments and referrals are great, the real proof is the outcome data, and I'm happy to say we are blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby boy thanks to Dr. M and his staff. Exceptional experience.It was a year ago today that my husband and I had our first consultation with Dr. Moghadam.

He is very blunt, so some can find his bedside manners off-putting. However, I had excellent results for the first time and it was with him. He was able to continue providing results in additional cycles...He performs nearly all the ultrasounds, which is a refreshing change from other clinics...out-of-the-box and customized, no-frills ART treatment with results.

After the first consultation, we scheduled a session where he went over a presentation on what to expect for IUI/IVF etc. and gave us an itemized cost breakdown before we left... He also gives you his cell phone so you can text or call after business hours if needed- and he is prompt to respond!He’s[Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] got many accolades in his field...He is very real and I feel like he cares and he is passionate about what he does...I am still mid my first treatment…He’s[Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] got many accolades in his field...He is very real and I feel like he cares and he is passionate about what he does...I am still mid my first treatment with him...He sent me to get a second opinion on a blood clotting chromosomal anomaly... if he needs to abort the IUI for reason of too many eggs with the fertility drugs or no eggs with the fertility drugs he will credit you another cycle..[Dr. Kenneth Moghadam is] Very honest, direct but very professional and dedicated to his job doctor.

First, he was the first doctor who gave me right diagnosis...took me years to figure out that I have endometriosis. He performed endoscopy and after my surgery I felt much better in terms of managing my symptoms and pain during women’s days. I believe surgery, healthy diet and healthy lifestyle helped me to get pregnant naturally 1 year latter.He [Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] knows your name and case and willing to give his time to answer any questions I might have...He tends to speak really fast but he will slow down and try…He [Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] knows your name and case and willing to give his time to answer any questions I might have...He tends to speak really fast but he will slow down and try to understand/answer your questions. Good bedside manners and personable. He is really busy so be understanding that sometime you’ll have to wait awhile...I did natural IUI with trigger shot due to my anatomy. I had unsuccessful 2 IUIs and trying the third and last IUI when I’m ovulating on the dominant side...ordered a blood test and the result didn’t make it back to the clinic and nobody follow up until I asked about it 2 months later.We felt more like a number because he [Dr. Moghadam] just wasn't personable at all.

He didn't make us feel comfortable, rushed through the meeting, and got frustrated with any questions we asked. There was definitely no warmth or sincerity from him...I think he knows what he is doing and I totally agree with his recommendations on the next steps that we should take. However, I'm going to take those recommendations to a different doctor because there is NO WAY I can work with someone like that on such an important, sensitive journey.We are being treated with Dr K.

Moghadam since 2016, we love the fact that he never changes and he is still so dedicated and so caring every time we come to see him...We did eggs retrieval, fibroid removal, frozen transfers and PGS testing with him. . As a result of all these procedures, he made our dream come true even if our case was difficult...he was also always available for us 24h if we need anything...is very honest and will tell the truth.We only had 1 embryo that passed PGD testing for an autosomal dominant disorder so we didn’t have the option to transfer more than 1 [with Dr. Moghadam]...is the best at treating…We only had 1 embryo that passed PGD testing for an autosomal dominant disorder so we didn’t have the option to transfer more than 1 [with Dr. Moghadam]...is the best at treating his patients like humans rather than numbers! His biggest strength is patient care. We could tell that he really did care about us...is thorough, confident, and really takes the time to know and understand your situation. I think he keeps his practice more boutique like so he really can know and care for everyone who walks through the door. He is very skilled from a surgical perspective as well.Dr. M [Moghadam] thoroughly explained everything every step of the way.

From consultation to IuI he was there for us and made sure we knew what was happening. During my actual iui procedure he even reassured my worries that I had already ovulated by having the nurse show me that I hadn’t. He remembers every detail about us every time we go in.He [Dr. Moghadam] is an expert, very knowledgeable about his craft.

He is a great doctor just wish they would offer a follow up visit after a negative test, instead of calling just saying call is when you start your next cycle... They offer no addition time to follow up with your doctor “only if you want to pay $300 dollars for a consultation.” But they never offer help or answers just opportunities to spend more money....

Me being a healthcare professional, she still explained every part of the procedure and answers all questions. She’s always positive and aggressive with treatment. She willing to work around schedules and offers great advice for timing issues...We had to freeze a sperm sample due to partner being out of the state during the IUI time. Blood work 2 weeks after the IUI for confirmation of the pregnancy. I had attempted clomid with my ob/gyn without succes so we bypassed that. We are on the second cycle and attempting same course of action.At times he [Dr. Moghadam] seemed overwhelmed with too many patients and during this time he was only focused on numbers on the chart.

When he wasn’t a busy those appointments I felt we’re more inclusive ... I did acupuncture, diet and lifestyle changes for 3 months before I sought his actual help. He really understood wanting to be more natural and mixing western and eastern meds together. Once I saw him for actual help, we started with just medicated cycles with femar, folistem and timed entercourse.you will have to wait to see him [Dr. Moghadam]...He always asked if we had questions and I completely trust his judgement on strategies and rationales...He remembered most…you will have to wait to see him [Dr. Moghadam]...He always asked if we had questions and I completely trust his judgement on strategies and rationales...He remembered most details about us and was available for us one night even though he was at a concert. We didn't have the meds we needed for the night and he offered to meet us at the office to get them for the night. But, appointments are overbooked and there were times I waited 2 hours for an appointment.Dr. Moghadam is very proactive.

He likes to put a plan in place and get you started on your course of treatment. That works very well with my personality. He can sometimes talk a little fast and doesn't like to be interrupted. I think once he understands you're overwhelmed with everything being thrown at you he can be more compassionate. He is very easy going and straight forward.He [Dr. Moghadam] is very personable and compassionate. He answered all our questions willingly and never made us feel silly or a bother. Once we started getting results back, I…He [Dr. Moghadam] is very personable and compassionate. He answered all our questions willingly and never made us feel silly or a bother. Once we started getting results back, I feel like he was quick to just say our only option was IVF with icsi. While that may be the case, our problem is male related and I feel that we had to basically ask for a referral to a fertility urologist. We understand IVF is most likely the only way we will conceive but atleast we are getting more answers as to why it's happening.I have interviewed 8 Reproductive Endocrinologists. Dr. Moghadam is the only one that will do all of your ultrasounds and will be with you every step of the way. His care is…I have interviewed 8 Reproductive Endocrinologists. Dr. Moghadam is the only one that will do all of your ultrasounds and will be with you every step of the way. His care is completely different than the majority of REs. My cycle did not go as planned, but I knew that I received the best care possible, so the fault did not lie with him. ... He truly cares about each of his patients. He gave me as much time as I needed for each visit and would answer any question I had. He is a wonderful doctor.[Dr. Moghadam is] smart but bed side manner is lacking.

He doesn’t sugar coat anything. He’s very blunt and tells it like it is. He does rush appointments sometimes and is often late to appointments. He knows what he’s doing but isn’t the most sincere doctor.... My first IVF cycle was normal...by pills, then Lipton and then the stimulation drugs. When that didn’t work very well he went with the antagonist approach for the second and third times and we had to cancel our second time due to no responseHe [Dr. Moghadam] was very to the point, at first I wasn't sure how to take his personality, but he knew exactly what he was doing, and as time went on we got to know him better…He [Dr. Moghadam] was very to the point, at first I wasn't sure how to take his personality, but he knew exactly what he was doing, and as time went on we got to know him better and he was very compassionate. He did a consultation with every appointment which was nice and he always communicated with a schedule what was expected each cycle. ... We decided to do an aggressive approach since my husband was deploying.Some people think [Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] he can be too straight-forward, but I appreciate a doctor who is honest rather than sugar-coating the truth...My follicle growth was…Some people think [Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] he can be too straight-forward, but I appreciate a doctor who is honest rather than sugar-coating the truth...My follicle growth was sometimes unpredictable so during a few of my cycles [he] had to change my dosage day by day...Sometimes he can speak a little faster than I would like and it’s hard to understand what he’s talking about especially when you’re already anxious at the appointment and trying to take in everything he is sayingDr. Crawford is so incredibly compassionate, especially when delivering bad news. You could tell that it was difficult for her to even have to give us the bad news, but she…Dr. Crawford is so incredibly compassionate, especially when delivering bad news. You could tell that it was difficult for her to even have to give us the bad news, but she answered every question we possibly could have had and was available via email....She welcomed our input even when it came to treatment protocols. For example, I responded very poorly to lupron and had a lot of side effects ... I felt hesitant to even discuss that I did not want to do another lupron cycle, but when I expressed my hesitation she agreed.Dr. Crawford was the best doctor I have seen since being diagnosed with PCOS at age 21.

At this stage in my life of trying to become a mother, finding a doctor who would be understanding, yet honest, was most important. She explained every option for conception and even drew out the process on pieces of paper so we had a visual!... When I was diagnosed with DVT in the emergency room she was my advocate. She made me feel like I had someone in my corner the whole time and I will never be able to make her know how amazing that feels.I first started birth control [with Dr. Moghadam] and then the Antagonist Protocol.

I took 75 menopur, and 375 Gonal F. The bcp over suppressed me, and we had to cancel that cycle on Day6. The next cycle, we left out the birth control pills and it was smooth sailing all the way. My prescription was the same, but this tine I showed ten good follicles, one was pretty dominant. The dominant follicle would have to be sacrificed, because the others were all pretty synchronized. We added Cetrotide to prevent ovulation and allow the others to grow. I ended up with 11 eggs, nine mature, nine fertilized normally.Dr. Moghadam always treats us with respect and keeps me in control of my fertility treatments...is a straight-shooter.

He will not sugar coat what needs to be done for your treatment to get closer to your goal to start a family. The office is always busy, but he does take the time to sit down with you and thoroughly consider all options, involve patients in their own care, and genuinely wants to get you pregnant. He gives patients his personal cell phone and always answers no matter what time of night/weekend.[ Dr. Crawford is] Very willing to work, trying to do the best outcomes.

Sometimes had conflict about how far to push treatment and how quickly to scale up. I always felt like she was trying to do the very best. She tried to work around my schedule...Very willing to talk and explain things and answer questions...I used femara so far, to stimulate ovulation on the side that still had a fallopian tube, followed by intercourse. Have discussed other protocols but so far haven't tried that yet.He [Dr. Moghadam] tells it like it is. He's compassionate without being unrealistic or condescending. I like his bedside manner a lot.

He's not the type to sugar coat things or sit and hold your hand, but not everyone wants or needs that type of doctor. However, he will make sure you have answers to all your questions and explains each step... He used oral and injectable medications right away. When I questioned this, he said his experience showed a better outcome and gave me specific examples of how my case fit this protocol.He [Dr. Moghadam] is less accommodating about questions that do not exactly confirm his line of thinking. Examples: the question of when to inject sperm after the trigger in IUI.…He [Dr. Moghadam] is less accommodating about questions that do not exactly confirm his line of thinking. Examples: the question of when to inject sperm after the trigger in IUI. He says it doesn't matter, Cochrane review says the evidence is poor to asses the issue. He almost took offense with me when I mentioned that. I don't mean to be a nosy, know-all patient, but I have too many friends that are medical doctors to know that lots of issues are not as straightforward as some of them are trying to present them.She [Dr. Crawford] is incredibly knowledgable, up to date in the latest research/technology/procedures, personable, and upbeat without giving a false sense of hope...Dr. Crawford…She [Dr. Crawford] is incredibly knowledgable, up to date in the latest research/technology/procedures, personable, and upbeat without giving a false sense of hope...Dr. Crawford remembered exactly who we were each time we saw her...I ended up being one of the "lucky" folks to suffer from severe OHSS (even though my s did not indicate I would be at risk), and she did not rest until I was feeling better, including communicating with me at 6am.At the first appointment, he [Austin Fertility Institute] took his time but appointments there after it was in and out after very long wait times.... He was the first fertility…At the first appointment, he [Austin Fertility Institute] took his time but appointments there after it was in and out after very long wait times.... He was the first fertility doctor I saw and when I did 2 iuis with him, he never mentioned that my lining was thin or try to change any protocols to help with the lining. I only found out by looking at my medical records.... The long wait times sometimes an hour. He was running two locations and must have been stretched thin.Dr. Moghadam is a great doctor who really cares about you as a patient.

He makes sure that you fully understand everything and makes sure to answer all questions. He is very honest in his words and makes you feel like he is giving it his best shot, without giving you any sort of false hope. He doesn't sugarcoat things, but he does make you feel at ease about the decisions that are being made.I am still in the beginning stages of our treatment.

The first on clomid did not induce ovulation, so he immediately encouraged me to begin injections and IUI. He finally suggested after 6 rounds of treatment I move to IVF. I got a second opinion from another doctor who wanted to try one clomid cycle at a higher dose with timed intercourse and I conceived on the first try. I have a son from that. We have tried this treatment since and I have not ovulated every time, though have not conceived. I feel if Dr. Moghadam had adjusted my medicine initially, I may have saved a lot of time and expense.He [Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] may get busy at times, he tries to stay on schedule and does a great job the majority of the time...I really wanted twins again. He explained the risk…He [Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] may get busy at times, he tries to stay on schedule and does a great job the majority of the time...I really wanted twins again. He explained the risk and his hesitation. He said he would do what I wanted but wanted me to speak to maternal health about the risks to be sure I had full knowledge of the risks. He was understanding and didn’t discount my wants...I had to travel over 3 hours to see him but with a history of success I felt it was worth it. I was shown with respect and care every time I went. He took the time to address my questions and on the rare occasion he couldn’t answer all my questions due to time constraints he made sure I was able to speak to a nurse before leaving.Who you would meet
