Thank you Dr Saleh , we lost our hope but you made us parents , once again thank you so much. I would like to thank nurse Maria as well for excellent supportMy husband and I are incredibly grateful to Dr. Walid Saleh for the exceptional care throughout our fertility journey. Dr. Saleh is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled, but…My husband and I are incredibly grateful to Dr. Walid Saleh for the exceptional care throughout our fertility journey. Dr. Saleh is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled, but also compassionate, patient, and reassuring. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all our questions, and gave us confidence during what can be an emotional and stressful experience. Nurse Maria was equally wonderful. She was always kind, responsive, and supportive, making sure we felt cared for every step of the way. Her encouragement and prompt communication made a huge difference throughout treatment. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of Dr. Saleh, Nurse Maria, and the entire team, we are now expecting our little miracle. We will always be thankful for the care, professionalism, and hope they provided us. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking fertility treatment. They truly make their patients feel supported and valued.I can’t recommend CRE enough. This was my third clinic in the DFW area and Dr. Collins is the best of the best.

He spends a lot of time with you at each appointment and genuinely remembers you and your specific case. He does all of his own scans and consults and he takes patient desires into account when it comes to treatment plans and decisions and was flexible with our religious beliefs and the way those affected our treatment choices. He makes you feel in control of the process but with the best and most supportive team behind you. He is also very smart and up to date on the latest research - everyone who I know who has seen him has had success including myself (I just delivered my CRE baby last month)! We also had great experiences with the finance and embryology team. They were all quick to answer questions and respond to emails and were very helpful and nice. Jeanine even called my insurance company with me and spent two hours (after hours) with us figuring out an insurance coverage question we had. We did have a few issues getting ahold of our nurse but from what I’ve heard she is no longer with CRE anyway so I can confidently say everyone I worked with there who is still there was truly wonderful! I would absolutely send any of my friends struggling with infertility here!We have nothing but high praise for Dr. Collins and the team at CRE. From day one, we were impressed by their level of care. We were scheduled quickly for everything and always…We have nothing but high praise for Dr. Collins and the team at CRE. From day one, we were impressed by their level of care. We were scheduled quickly for everything and always had access to on-call nurses for any of our questions. Dr. Collins was the most attentive and caring doctor I've ever had (he will make you wish he could be your OBGYN throughout your entire pregnancy!) We ended up doing two egg retrievals and got pregnant with our first embryo transfer. I am currently holding our 6 day old baby right now <3 I would recommend CRE in a heartbeat for anyone going through infertility struggles. They were a godsend for us.Everyone at CRE is passionate about fertility!!! So happy that we switched to them.

Literally every single beautiful person involved at CRE cares and gives their all to bring their patients dreams to reality. They are all things good in this world. Dr. Saleh is AMAZING!!! Nurses and staff are all AMAZING!!!! This was a huge shock to me as I cannot stress it enough that everyone involved at any point in our IVF journey has been AMAZING. The valets, the receptionists, billing department, nurses, ebryologists, and doctors (hope I included everyone) have earned out highest respects and praises and we will forever be grateful for them. They are absolutely the best in the world!!!Dr. Saleh and his team are amazing. From start to finish, I felt supported, informed, and truly cared for.

We worked with this clinic after a bad experience with another fertility clinic. They worked with us both times from out of state and were so incredibly professional and phenomenal with communication. We have two beautiful daughters thanks to this clinic. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone, even those who may not live in the Dallas area.I had a truly positive experience with the IVF services at this center.

They were always there to answer questions, whether by phone or email, and I appreciated having my own nurse each visit. The process was clear, and I'm grateful for the result. April 2026 Update If I could, I would give Dr. Saleh and the wonderful staff at CRE five stars again. Today, as I sit holding my three month old daughter, I’ve reflected on how much they have changed my life. He took my ‘case’ on when my previous clinic completely gave up on me and advised that I have exploratory surgery that I felt was utterly unnecessary. Boy was I correct. From day one, Dr. Saleh drafted a game plain on simple notebook paper, walked through it with my husband and I, and set things in motion. Within three months, I was pregnant and two months later released into OB care. I safely delivered a healthy, full term baby girl earlier this year. My husband and I cannot be more grateful to CRE for the most wonderful gift of all…a take home rainbow baby!I’m 40 years old and never been pregnant with pcos I thought I would never get pregnant until doctor Saleh changed everything and I’m forever thankful cause I’m 7 weeks pregnant…I’m 40 years old and never been pregnant with pcos I thought I would never get pregnant until doctor Saleh changed everything and I’m forever thankful cause I’m 7 weeks pregnant now and my baby girl is just fine!!!!I had a wonderful experience at the IVF center in Dallas.

I received both IVF and HSG services and am thrilled to share that I got pregnant with Dr. Saleh! The entire process was smooth, and the communication was excellent, with a perfect 5/5 score. The staff were incredibly supportive which made this process so much easier. ,They were always available to answer my many questions via phone or email. Having a personal nurse for every visit made the journey feel personalized and reassuring. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience and would definitely recommend anyone to this center. Especially to Dr. Saleh!After two heartbreaking failed IVF attempts in a different clinic, we were emotionally exhausted and unsure if our dream would ever come true. Choosing this clinic was the best…After two heartbreaking failed IVF attempts in a different clinic, we were emotionally exhausted and unsure if our dream would ever come true. Choosing this clinic was the best decision we made. From the very first appointment, Dr. Collins and his team showed compassion, patience, and unwavering support. Speaking with Dr. Collins the very first day, we felt at home and knew we were at the right place. His understanding, words of encouragement and empathy made quite a great difference. He took the time to reassess our case, adjust our treatment plan, and explain every step clearly, which gave us renewed hope and confidence. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, our third IVF cycle was successful — and today we are blessed with a beautiful baby girl (3 months old). The joy she has brought into our lives is beyond words. Dr. Collins, nurses and the entire team were not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind and encouraging during the most difficult moments of our journey. From the very first consultation to the final positive pregnancy test, the staff was compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. I told Dr. Collins the day I was discharged from the clinic that even if I ended up with a negative result, I would still be satisfied because of the quality care I received from him. He is a blessing and God’s gift to couples looking to have their own child. We are forever grateful for his professionalism, empathy, and commitment to helping families grow. If you are struggling after failed attempts, don’t lose hope — this team truly makes miracles happen. We will forever be thankful for the exceptional care we received and wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone considering IVF. They truly change lives.I switched to Dr. Collins after having been with another clinic and based on my experience, CRE is above and beyond their competitors.

He is extremely knowledgeable, calm, and reassuring, and always takes the time to explain things thoughtfully. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his patients and their outcomes. We also wanted to give a special shout-out to Lisa, our RN. Lisa has been absolutely exceptional and played such an important role in making us feel supported throughout this process. She is incredibly compassionate and responsive, always taking the time to answer questions, making sure we never felt lost or overwhelmed. Her organization and constant reassurance has made a stressful process feel much more approachable. She has consistently gone so far above and beyond, and we are deeply grateful. We can't thank Dr. Saleh, Lisa, and the entire team enough for the care we have received. We would highly recommend this practice to anyone beginning their fertility journey!My husband and I came to CRE after five years TTC.

Honestly, after eight rounds of Clomid, two rounds of IUI, some pretty extreme mental health struggles, and a really bad experience with our last fertility clinic (in CA), we just wanted closure so that we could move on with our lives. We certainly weren't expecting IVF to work, let alone on the first transfer. The only thing I can attribute this to is the entire staff at CRE. Dr. Saleh was at every scan/procedure. (At my CA clinic, I never knew which doctor or nurse would be seeing me that day.) Saleh was kind and attentive and, although sometimes it was hard to hear, he was honest with us. My nurse, Alyssa, was always one call/email away, so it truly felt like we received concierge care. All the other staff (nurses, accounting staff, front desk ladies, etc.) were kind and professional. The team at CRE showed up. They gave us hope, and I truly feel like that was something we had been missing for a really long time. Our baby girl is due in August. Finally.We are incredibly grateful to have been under the care of Dr. Saleh and their team.. Compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive.

He explained everything clearly from the beginning and made us feel confident every step of the way.

After a battle with secondary infertility we thought all hope was lost until we met with Dr Saleh. During our initial consultation we immediately felt at ease and understood more about our situation than we did in the 2 previous years with other doctors. We were able to quickly get the process going for IVF. We live in a small town about 6 hours away but they worked with us to make everything possible with no issues. My nurse Alyssa was incredible through the whole process answering all of my questions. The entire staff was incredibly kind, supportive and helpful in every encounter we had. We will forever be grateful to Dr Saleh and his entire staff at CRE. They helped us complete our family.I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Saleh and the staff at CRE Dallas.

His experience and expertise helped guide my husband and I through, what is an exhausting and difficult process. Yet, his direction and medical advice made an incredibly hard process a little bit easier and that goes a LONG way. They were prompt to respond (which is huge in a very time sensitive process), always empathetic and supportive, there to celebrate the wins, and also console us in the hard times. He came highly recommended from a friend of a friend and we drove 6 hours to see him and would do it all over again a million times to be where we are today. Dr. Saleh helped us conceive our second baby boy which completed our family! We’re unbelievably grateful and forever indebted! ❤️Dr. Saleh is an exceptional Physician and extremely knowledgeable.

He always addressed my concerns with professionalism and honesty, putting my mind at ease and allowed me to feel comfortable and confident in my plan of care. I don't mind driving all the way from Aubrey to Dallas for every appointment. Their response to any questions via email or phone is quick (I was very impressed). I HIGHLY recommend him and his wonderful team to anyone pursuing fertility treatment. (Trust me… After trying at other fertility clinics and going for several failed rounds of IVF and IUI’s, I was so fortunate to have found this clinic in Nov 2021) I am finally pregnant and forever grateful. Heard the little ones heart beat for the first time 🙏🏾 Thank you, Dr Walid Saleh and my amazing nurse Heather J, RN (Clinical Nurse Manager) NB: The Office interior has been upgraded (It has a relaxing/calming feeling) I wish I could give them 10 STARSClinic route
