Going into the egg retrieval/freezing process, I was unsure of what to expect, but from day one I felt completely cared for, educated, and supported every step of the way. Dr. Kashani is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also so compassionate, confident, and reassuring. I also have to thank Karen, Vivian, Isabella and the rest of the team for being so kind and welcoming at every appointment. Everyone always greeted me with warmth, checked in on how I was feeling, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive.Fertility clinic

She was also the very first doctor to mention the possibility of endometriosis after so many of my symptoms had been dismissed by other providers for years. Since my endometriosis was not visible on ultrasounds, she explained that the only true way to diagnose it would be through laparoscopic surgery. As my symptoms became worse, I reached back out to Dr. Kashani for guidance, and she went above and beyond to help me find experienced surgeons, even personally consulting with one of the specialists she recommended. Three weeks ago, I had surgery, and they confirmed that I did in fact have extensive endometriosis. I truly cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Kashani and her entire team. She genuinely cares about her patients and always wants what is best for them. From listening, advocating, coordinating referrals, and supporting me every step of the way, she made me feel seen and cared for during one of the hardest seasons of my life. Thank you, Dr. Kashani and team, for your compassion, dedication, and support. I will forever be grateful.I truly cannot recommend Dr. Kashani enough! During one of the hardest chapters of my life, she cared for me with extraordinary empathy and thoughtfulness. After a life-changing…I truly cannot recommend Dr. Kashani enough! During one of the hardest chapters of my life, she cared for me with extraordinary empathy and thoughtfulness. After a life-changing medical injury had shaken my trust in the healthcare system, she took the time to understand my history and created individualized care plans that made me feel genuinely seen and safe. Her compassion, attentiveness, and humanity have helped rebuild my trust in medicine. She represents the very best of what healthcare should be. I am incredibly grateful to be her patient!We could not have been more happy with our experience with Dr. Kashani. Of course it helps that we were successful, and our little Boy is 7.5 months old, happy and healthy. But we…We could not have been more happy with our experience with Dr. Kashani. Of course it helps that we were successful, and our little Boy is 7.5 months old, happy and healthy. But we tried a larger clinic previously and had 3 failed transfers. I know that statistically our case was not easy, and the failures at the other clinic may well have occurred regardless. But, the real difference was in the care and time taken by Dr. Kashani; to REALLY listen to our concerns and custom tailor the treatment to the worried couple in front of her. She was amazing! She seemed actually emotionally invested in our success. She never rushed us. The staff were organized and thoughtful. Thank you Dr. Kashani and Staff! We hope to come and visit you all soon!I don't fully have the words to describe how grateful I am and how amazing Dr. Kashani is. I believe God brought me to her office knowing how complicated of a journey I would…I don't fully have the words to describe how grateful I am and how amazing Dr. Kashani is. I believe God brought me to her office knowing how complicated of a journey I would have. Dr. Kashani is the definition of caring, knowledgable, thorough, personally invested in each patient's journey, genuine and a doctor that goes above and beyond. She has called me when she promised to call me, took time to answer all the questions I had and when I had an unexpected stroke in my eye after my 2nd egg retrieval due to an undiagnosed heart issue, she advocated for me to be seen urgently at UCI to get treatment, even when the first hospital had sent me home to follow up outpatient. Dr. Kashani has been the comfort and the guidance that was perfectly what we needed during our journey. Even as I was in the hospital getting care, she texted to check up on me each and every day. I will never forget the feeling of truly being cared for as I have with Dr. Kashani. And even as we found success with our first transfer, it was bittersweet to graduate from her clinic as she has been the greatest doctor we have ever met. Her staff is also amazing! Vivian is so organized and easy to reach, which has proven to be such a comfort during a hectic journey and she is so personable and easy to talk to. She is truly one of a kind. Karen is so gentle and kind and always had such comforting words. I appreciate all the effort and care that went into making our journey successful and I will truly miss everyone here. Thank you so much for helping me become a mom.Dr. Kashani will always be an amazing part of my fertility journey, and the first person that really gave me solid, positive and consistent hope that I would not only get pregnant…Dr. Kashani will always be an amazing part of my fertility journey, and the first person that really gave me solid, positive and consistent hope that I would not only get pregnant after years of trying, but that it would happen naturally, even with PCOS. With just a few months of unrushed, personal attention with Dr. Kashani soaking her expertise and guidance with multiple examinations and the right protocols for tracking ovulation windows amidst irregular cycles, I was able to gain peace of mind that there was nothing "wrong" with my body and have full faith that I would conceive. Dr. Kashani gave me many strategic options should I need them to support a quicker timeline, from medicated cycles to IUI and IVF, but what I loved most was her soft approach and low pressure to rush into anything. Within six months of working with Dr. Kashani and her wonderful staff, my husband and I successfully, naturally conceived. I fully believe without the peace of mind that Dr. Kashani brought me, I wouldn't have gotten here. We are so grateful for her team!It is hard to find the words to express how grateful I am to Dr. Keshani. As a labor and delivery nurse I have worked with many doctors and specifically obstetricians— I was so…It is hard to find the words to express how grateful I am to Dr. Keshani. As a labor and delivery nurse I have worked with many doctors and specifically obstetricians— I was so impressed by the amount of time Dr. Keshani’s spent with us at each appointment, her depth of knowledge, and her patience in listening to us. She reviewed every lab result I brought her, and every step of the fertility process. After a year of unsuccessful attempts to conceive, Dr. Keshani identified my anovulatory cycles and corrected my hormonal imbalance—helping us get pregnant within one month of treatment. I cannot recommend her enough.Dr. Kashani and her team are truly exceptional! After a devastating experience with another fertility clinic—where I felt like a number, endured a failed transfer, and suffered…Dr. Kashani and her team are truly exceptional! After a devastating experience with another fertility clinic—where I felt like a number, endured a failed transfer, and suffered five miscarriages—I was ready to give up. My husband found Dr. Kashani through thorough research, and she was a game-changer. From our first call with Vivian, who was kind and informative, I knew this was different. Dr. Kashani’s smaller practice allows for personalized care, and she makes time to address every question with empathy and expertise. Dr. Kashani reviewed my history thoroughly and tailored a plan for my age (41), suggesting a different egg retrieval approach. Her knowledge and outside-the-box thinking led to a 4AA embryo and a successful transfer after a RECEPTIVA test revealed endometriosis, which she treated without surgery. My rainbow baby is now two months old, and I owe it to her! Dr. Kashani was my cheerleader, calling after hours to share results, while Vivian and Karen made every visit warm and comfortable. This team’s compassion and dedication made a challenging IVF journey hopeful and rewarding. If you’re looking for a doctor who’s up-to-date, fights for you, and truly cares, Dr. Kashani is the one. IVF isn’t one-size-fits-all, and she gets that. I’m forever grateful and highly recommend her!Dr. Kashani is beyond amazing. She provides very thorough and detailed care. She is very knowledgeable, empathetic and genuinely cares about her patients. She truly cared for me…Dr. Kashani is beyond amazing. She provides very thorough and detailed care. She is very knowledgeable, empathetic and genuinely cares about her patients. She truly cared for me during the hardest time of my life, shared my pain with me but at the same time kept very optimistic, picked me up and supported me until we reached our goal. She was my true advocate. I am holding my two weeks old baby in my arms because of her. Her office and staff are also very organized and kind. They were really prompt in answering emails, calls and getting back to me with answers, no matter how many times a day I contacted the office. Vivian and Karen are the best, thank you for being there for me when I needed it the most.Dr. Kashani and her staff are absolutely incredible. We drove an hour and a half each way to see her, and it was 100% worth it. We now have a beautiful baby girl! Our first IVF…Dr. Kashani and her staff are absolutely incredible. We drove an hour and a half each way to see her, and it was 100% worth it. We now have a beautiful baby girl! Our first IVF doctor gave up on us - he couldn't figure out what was wrong after we had a miscarriage and then three consecutive failed transfers. He ran all the usual tests and biopsies and everything came back normal. I spoke to several of Dr. Kashani’s patients before setting up the consultation meeting, and she came highly recommended. After consultation meetings with several doctors, we decided to work with Dr. Kashani, even though she was extremely far away from where we lived. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. After going through what felt like a “factory” clinic where I was just a number in the waiting room, I was blown away by the personal care, concern, and empathy that we received from everyone at Dr. Kashani’s office. Dr. Kashani was incredibly thorough and always took the time to answer questions and talk through options without making me feel rushed (or, worse, like a bystander in my own journey). She went above and beyond the normal range of tests and protocols to give us the best chance possible. Everyone in the office is beyond amazing. I always received prompt responses from Vivian at the front desk, and Karen always took extra care when drawing my blood because she knew I wasn’t great with needles. The embryologist went above and beyond to ensure we had the best quality embryos possible. Everyone was kind and personable. We were starting to lose hope that we’d ever be able to conceive on our own. We can’t thank Dr. Kashani and her staff enough for our miracle baby. I recommend her 1000%.My husband and I thoroughly appreciated the kindness, compassionate and detailed care that Dr. Kashani and her team provided us. I always felt so comfortable with her and I liked…My husband and I thoroughly appreciated the kindness, compassionate and detailed care that Dr. Kashani and her team provided us. I always felt so comfortable with her and I liked how she gave us several options. Most importantly, we felt that she was truly invested in us and a positive outcome. I couldn't be more pleased with being referred to her for the entire IVF process.There are good doctors, great doctors, and then there is Dr. Kashani — a truly exceptional, one-of-a-kind IVF specialist who redefines what it means to care for her patients. From…There are good doctors, great doctors, and then there is Dr. Kashani — a truly exceptional, one-of-a-kind IVF specialist who redefines what it means to care for her patients. From the very first consultation to the final steps, she goes above and beyond in every possible way. What sets Dr. Kashani apart isn’t just her deep medical expertise (though she is undoubtedly THE most skilled and detail-oriented doctor I’ve ever encountered), it’s her genuine compassion and dedication to each and every patient. She doesn't just say she cares — she shows it in every interaction. To her, you are not just another number in her clinic. You will always know she deeply cares and is deeply committed to you becoming a parent. She provides a VIP experience from day one. Her communication is unmatched — always clear, timely, and comforting. Her office staff is TRULY phenomenal. They go above and beyond to accommodate and provide unmatched clarity with instructions. Dr. Kashani takes the time to truly listen, to explain, to reassure. Dr. Kashani will spend hours combing through old medical files just to ensure she has every possible piece of the puzzle. Her thoroughness is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s rare to find someone who pairs world-class medical acumen with such warmth and humanity. She leaves no stone unturned and doesn’t give up until she’s explored every avenue to help you succeed. Her attention to detail, her thoughtfulness, and her relentless commitment to your journey is inspiring. I cannot recommend Dr. Kashani enough. Truly, if you are considering IVF or need fertility care, this is the doctor you want by your side. Every single person deserves this level of care, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She’s not just a top-tier doctor — she’s a life-changer.Dr. Kashani changed my life.

Around three years into a very confusing infertility journey that an OBGYN had been "treating" with very strong hormonal medications (which only made my condition worse), I found Dr. Kashani. She immediately knew to get me off of those medications and work with me to get my body to react to real reproductive endocrinology methods that WORK. Dr. Kashani knew that I wanted to avoid having to have IUI or go down the IVF route, and so she structured medicated, timed intercourse cycles for me. When my body didn't react properly to certain medications, she knew exactly what to swap to, and so in 2024, for the first time since 2017, I could mature follicles and ovulate with assistance. Medicated timed intercourse isn't easy and my journey was anything but linear, still Dr. Kashani's warmth, expertise, and energy, as well as her staff's professional, attentive, and caring attitude made the whole process much better. We were able to have SO much success with my most recent TI cycle that my husband and I actually conceived twins –– a risk we knew we were taking but are over the moon with, since we were scared for several years that we could never conceive. Please, if you are struggling to conceive and are stressed out by the unknown, come see Dr. Kashani because she is a top-notch fertility professional. I cannot thank Dr. Kashani and her staff enough for their life-changing care!I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Kashani after being referred to her by a friend, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Prior to coming to her office, I had treatments at two other infertility clinics, and the experience was nothing like what I found here. Working with Dr. Kashani was an absolute breath of fresh air and made it all so much less stressful. Dr. Kashani was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely caring. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered every question with patience, and made sure I felt heard and understood. The clinic itself is warm, welcoming, and well-organized, and the staff is equally kind and efficient. Thanks to Dr. Kashani, I have a beautiful baby boy, and I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise and personalized care. I highly recommend Dr. Kashani. She made all the difference in my journey.I can’t recommend doctor Kashani enough. I get introduced to her because my friend is a doctor at Kaiser and he recommends her to me. I used to have all failed attempts at IVF in…I can’t recommend doctor Kashani enough. I get introduced to her because my friend is a doctor at Kaiser and he recommends her to me. I used to have all failed attempts at IVF in another country, which makes me believe I can’t be pregnant myself and have to find a surrogate. Doctor Kashani talks me out of it and assure me that I will have a different experience with her. She wants me to have the experiences of carrying my own child. I am so glad I listen to her. To my astonishment and happiness, I am successful with her with my 1st attempt. She’s very thorough, and makes sure everything is prepared to the best possible before the embryo transfer. I am currently at 20 weeks and can’t wait for another 20 weeks to pass by quickly so I can see my baby soon. I feel fortunate that I have the chances to meet doctor Kashani and her wonderful team (Vivian, Karen…).Dr K was probably the most important person in our life the tear before I got pregnant.

My husband and I went to a few consultations with other Dr.'s but when we went to our consultation with Dr. Kashani we knew this was the place for us! She is kind, knows her stuff and her staff is great. They've been excellent communicators, test results are never a mystery, I've received check in calls after procedures... I even called after hours on multiple occasions and received a call back within minutes to resolve my issue! Dr. Kashani is just as invested in your pregnancy outcome as you are, she truly cares and wants what's best for you! Wait times for my appointments have always been quick, and I've never felt rushed asking questions or during any of my procedures. We had horrible luck with Dr's along our fertility journey before we got here so having a Dr. this wonderful and a phone number that you can call to talk to a knowledgeable human is such a breath of fresh air! We did one transfer in 2023 that brought us our son and another transfer in 2024 (currently pregnant with our daughter). I know a lot of people's experiences with fertility clinics are dependent on how well it "worked" for them but I think even if IVF hadn't worked for us, I wouldn't have a bad thing to say. Seriously, if I could take Dr. Kashani, Vivian and Karen and make them my Dr. for everything I absolutely would. I would recommend Dr. Kashani a thousand times over (and have to multiple friends and family!).I can’t recommend Dr. Kashani more!

Not only she has the knowledge and is up to date with the medical research on infertility but she has a special gift of connecting and having compassion for her patients.

My husband and I switched to Dr. Kashani’s clinic after doing two egg retrievals with a different clinic. Our first clinic was big, we rarely saw our doctor and felt like just a number. Navigating IVF is very stressful, and feeling like just a number compounded that stress. I am so glad we moved to Dr. Kashani for our third egg retrieval and frozen embryo transfer. The office is small, so you get to know Dr. K and her team very well. You see her at every appointment, which is very reassuring. She pays close attention to detail, never rushes you, and always makes you feel cared for. Your treatment plan is completely personalized and not a set plan that she does for everyone (this is how our prior clinic operated). She is always available to answer questions on the messenger app and always calls with big updates - even on weekends! We got great results from our egg retrieval with her and are now expecting a baby this June, thanks to Dr. Kashani and her wonderful team :) Everyone else in the office is amazing as well! Vivian is the BEST coordinator you could ask for. She is extremely responsive and organized and really helps streamline the whole process. Karen is very kind, and I always find her comforting to be around. The embryologist team is very talented, and the billing department is thorough and easy to communicate with. If you’re thinking of seeing Dr. Kashani, just do it! We drove from San Diego for all our appointments, and it was absolutely worth it. We miss coming to this office and wish we could continue seeing Dr. Kashani for prenatal care. Go see Dr. Kashani and her team - you will not regret it!Dr. Kashani and her team, Karen and Vivian in particular, were more than I could have asked for in my fertility journey.

At every visit, phone call, or any other interaction, they treated me with professionalism, yet also with friendship in such a way that I always felt valued and care for. I appreciated that Dr. Kashani was thorough in explaining the process to me, and she was patient in answering any questions. She is very thoughtful in the way she approaches her patients' situations, carefully monitoring and tailoring the process to fit exactly what is needed. Both Dr. Kashani and her staff are very helpful and responsive. I knew that if I ever messaged Dr. Kashani or emailed the staff, I would receive a receive an immediate response. She is also one of few REI doctors who successfully perform natural cycle transfers, which was important to me in this process, involving less shots but high implantation rates. I am so happy that we chose to work with Dr. Kashani and have already highly recommended her to friends.Dr. Kashani is incredible and I would recommend her to anyone seeking fertility treatment.

We had consultations with a lot of different specialists and our decision was very clear as soon as we talked to her. We felt so cared for during our entire IVF experience. Dr. Kashani is an example of a brilliant physician that also has a patient and kind bedside manner. Her demeanor and approach meant a lot to me while undergoing what can be such a challenging and emotional process. Special thanks to Vivian for all of her hard work that keeps the office running smoothly. Our daughter will be here in just a few months and she would not have been possible without the care we received from this team. We are forever grateful. Thank you so much!Dr. Kashani is a gem and I cannot say enough great things about her! After 3 failed rounds with our previous IVF doctor, we found Dr. Kashani and are so lucky that we did. From…Dr. Kashani is a gem and I cannot say enough great things about her! After 3 failed rounds with our previous IVF doctor, we found Dr. Kashani and are so lucky that we did. From the moment we had our consultation with her, we knew she was the one. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and is open to trying new ideas. Dr. Kashani truly cares about her patients and always had a few plans in mind going forward. She is open minded and always asked about my thoughts and how I felt about each plan to make sure I was comfortable. She details each cycle to her patients instead of treating us all the same. Dr. Kashani's dedication to her patients is truly heartwarming. She would give me calls about updates after hours and even called to discuss an adjusted plan while she was out of town with her family during a holiday weekend! After years of infertility and our first transfer with Dr. Kashani, we are now pregnant and it is all thanks to her! My husband and I have always dreamed of this time and Dr. Kashani made it possible! Dr. Kashani's whole staff made the transition of transferring embryos and paperwork smoothly. Vivian was always so responsive and kept me updated. Karen was always kind and informative when I had my appointments. Truly, this whole office is amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone going through infertility. Infertility is hard enough and these ladies really helped me through it when I was ready to give up. I cannot thank you enough!Dr. Kashani and her staff are the best. Struggling with infertility is devastating but the empathy and kindness I received at her clinic really helped me through this difficult…Dr. Kashani and her staff are the best. Struggling with infertility is devastating but the empathy and kindness I received at her clinic really helped me through this difficult process. Dr. Kashani goes above and beyond for her patients and really cares about you like a friend. I’ve never experienced that with a doctor/patient relationship before. There were times when I panicked because of medication issues or pain and I’d email her at 9pm and she’d respond right away if she could. Her staff is wonderful too. Karen held my hand and let me squeeze it when I was having a painful biopsy. Vivian helped me with shots and always worked with Dr. Kashani to schedule me at times that were best with my work schedule. In addition, Dr. Kashani is super intelligent (while also being able to break things down into simple terms) and keeps up on current research. Honestly, I could go on and on. But, of course, I’m burying the lead … I am now 18 weeks pregnant and so excited to be a mom for the first time!! My husband and I couldn’t have done it without this wonderful team behind us and I look forward to seeing them again when we try for baby 2.After 8 months of several unsuccessful, cold, clinical (and poorly managed) fertility treatment rounds at USC Fertility Clinic, I decided to switch doctors.

Her care for me was above and beyond of any medical care I have got or seen in my life. She is absolutely passionate about her medical expertise as well as keeping her up to date with new medical technologies and finding what was best for my treatment. If you’re reading this review to find an REI doctor and I would say if you have an opportunity to see her please do so and you’ll be ever grateful to yourself that you made that decision. Dr. Kashani and her entire team felt like the closest family every time I saw them. I always felt everyone did their best to make my dream come true. They were like the hope that I needed on this difficult journey and I was not wrong. Because of Dr. Kashani and her team, I am now 21 weeks pregnant and can’t say enough about what is she for me. Dr. Kashani always thinks and works outside the box compared to any other REI doctor and clinic, she always suggests what was best for me considering my situation. She never ever delayed any responses whenever I had any questions and always customize my treatment as needed very frequently to get the best outcome. She truly cares for her patients in such a way that sometimes I feel she is my family than a doctor, even after I “graduated” from her to my OB doctor, Dr. Kashani checked how I’m doing and I know she is always there for me and I can’t wait to introduce our little miracle to her hopefully very soon. I’ll always pray for Dr. Kashani, Vivian, Karen, and her entire team for their best success and the happiest life.After 2.5 years of infertility treatments, 3 different doctors, I finally found THE ONE!

I was very fortunate to have found her after many months of research and consultations with other doctors. My decision of moving forward with her was based on our initial consultation, former patient reviews, and honestly just going with my gut feeling. My husband and I had been trying for almost three years to conceive and we had four failed IUIs. We knew it was time to move on to IVF. Throughout the entire process of our IVF treatment, Dr. Kashani was always available on a timely manner, even calling me during her on time to update us on our final embryo count. She is super patient, great bed side manners, optimistic, but also keeps it real. At one point we had to postpone the the start of our treatment because we had so much going on in our personal lives. Dr. Kashani was super supportive. Always thinking of doing what’s best to optimize results. We had our egg retrieval one year ago today and today as I write this review my husband is sitting in front of me holding our baby boy. We are beyond grateful with Dr. Kashani and all her staff.I can't give enough positive feedback about my experience with Dr. Kashani and her staff. They made me feel as if I was part of their family. Almost as if I was their only…I can't give enough positive feedback about my experience with Dr. Kashani and her staff. They made me feel as if I was part of their family. Almost as if I was their only patient. I went into the IVF process with skepticism, but after talking with Dr. Kashani, I felt more at ease and more convinced that this was the right decision. She has a warm presence and tailors her treatments to each individual's needs. When I was about 6-8 weeks into my pregnancy, I had some scares that the pregnancy had been lost. Dr. Kashani took the time to call me while she was on her own personal time off to assess what was happening and gave her advice. She gave me comfort that everything would be okay. I am now 38 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby. I truly believe that Dr. Kashani loves what she does and I highly recommend her!There are no words to describe Dr. Kashani and my experience with her because she is beyond incredible not only in her profession but as a human being.

It has not been an easy journey for us, but we knew that it likely wouldn’t be based on our previous infertility experience with our first child. It is thanks to Dr Kashani that we rode the many waves of ups and downs again and stuck it through these past two years. Dr Kashani is so thorough and attentive to detail which matters so much to patients like me who had quite the previous infertility and IVF history to deal with. She was always willing to think and work outside the box to continuously adapt and find solutions while still being cautious and mindful of the costs involved. I appreciated her pragmatism and realism in a field that oftentimes doesn’t take emotional and financial toll into account. She did exactly that and was so dedicated to helping us grow our family to include a sibling for our son. This is what sets Dr Kashani apart from so many other IVF doctors - her warmth! She has a true passion for what she does and it shows. Both in delivering tough and good news, she is there for her patients with true compassion and empathy. She is always available to her patients and it is such a comfort knowing that a quick response is always going to be the norm. With Dr Kashani, I always knew what my next steps were and that was such a relief after any kind of news. And, she is surrounded by a great team! Her clinic is so easy to work with whether it is scheduling appointments (which run on time!), dealing with ordering and purchasing meds, and ease of communication. Both Vivian and Natalie were so wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. We are so very excited and filled with gratitude to be pregnant! We can’t thank Dr. Kashani and her team enough and hope others dealing with infertility in the area are lucky enough to work with her. She will be there with you every step of the way!Dr. Kashani has been a light in such a weird confusing dark time for my husband and myself.

My husband and I had been trying for several years and after spending a year being tossed around at our primary’s fertility department, we felt extremely defeated. From the first time we met with Dr. Kashani, you could immediately tell that she cared about what she did. In addition, she had given us more information in an hour than we had ever received with any other doctor. Choosing to do IVF is not an easy decision but Dr. Kashani was extremely patient and helpful as we decided what to do. We chose to move forward and it was by far the best decision we ever made. I am now 7 months pregnant with our sweet babygirl who is due in July! Dr. Kashani is extremely thoughtful and always takes the conservative route with your medical care to give you the best chance possible. I always felt comfortable with her decisions and there was never a day that passed where I didn’t feel like I was in the best care. It was definitely bittersweet the day we had to graduate to our OBGYN. If I had my way, Dr. Kashani would be our doctor throughout our entire pregnancy. I would highly recommend Dr. Kashani to anyone who is looking for fertility assistance. She truly cares about her patients and is invested in their outcome. And while we were fortunate to be successful on our first try, I do know that if there were hurdles in our journey I wouldn’t want any other doctor by our side but Dr. Kashani.Dr. Kashani is truly a blessing!

She is the third RE my husband and I have seen but the first to really make us feel comfortable with the process. I found her through Infertility Unfiltered and was immediately drawn to her kind and caring demeanor. Dr. Kashani has gone above and beyond to follow me through some very serious medical issues that have delayed my treatment timeline. She is truly invested in each patient as if they are her only patient. All of the staff she has at her clinic also live up to this uniquely outstanding level of care Dr. Kashani provides.Where to start?

She supported us both through the medical treatments, but also through the emotional ride that is infertility. She was upfront and honest about everything. We had hard conversations but we also had hard decisions to make. She supported everything we decided to do and never once made us feel bad or pressured into one choice or another.I have recommended her countless times to anyone going through the infertility journey. She is an amazing provider and makes you feel like you’re more than just a patient. She cares about your journey and we definitely felt like she was along for the ride with us, even through our heartbreak, she proved over and over that she is a unique kind of doctor. She truly cares about her patients.There are truly no words that can adequately express how grateful my husband and I are to have found Dr. Kashani during our struggle with infertility. It has been a long,…There are truly no words that can adequately express how grateful my husband and I are to have found Dr. Kashani during our struggle with infertility. It has been a long, difficult 5+ year journey including the past 3 years since we began working with Dr. Kashani but we always felt we were in the best hands with her on our side - supporting us, guiding us and helping us plan next steps for each challenge we faced along the way. Not only is she very knowledgeable, she is also incredibly compassionate and makes you feel so much more like a friend than just another patient. We are now 25 weeks pregnant with a baby girl due in June and can’t possibly thank Dr. Kashani enough for everything she did to help get us here. Even after we “graduated” to our OB, Dr. Kashani has been there for us and we can’t wait to introduce our little miracle to her when she arrives. Thank you SO very much, Dr. Kashani!!!Who you would meet
