It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient along with outstanding medical care. I appreciate [him] taking time to go over diagnosis clearly along with treatment options...If you are a member of the BIPOC community I highly recommend Dr.DavidAbout a week after working with Dr. David I had answers to both the infertility from the last year and recurrent miscarriages.

After two courses of antibiotics (which resolved the infertility!), I was pregnant naturally again. But this time we had a plan of attack against the miscarriages, and it worked...Antibiotics followed by baby aspirin daily, prednisone, intrilipid infusions (at a low dose) every three weeks, daily blood thinners for the first trimester and high levels of progesterone (600!) for the first trimester.Sami David is a wonderful doctor. He is compassionate & caring and takes the time to fully analyze each patients history before the initial consult.... he tends to go back to the…Sami David is a wonderful doctor. He is compassionate & caring and takes the time to fully analyze each patients history before the initial consult.... he tends to go back to the same “bag of tricks” with cough syrup and antibiotics. He kept insisting that I had early pregnancy losses but my issue was more complicated than that as I had done 11 ivf cycles prior to consulting with him and knew my issue was embryo qualityDr David is truly committed to looking for every possible way to conceive the old fashioned way...Dr David really takes time--as in hours, not minutes, to understand his patients…Dr David is truly committed to looking for every possible way to conceive the old fashioned way...Dr David really takes time--as in hours, not minutes, to understand his patients and to look for areas that other clinics might overlook, like health and lifestyle factors. And, Dr David takes the male partner very seriously. My partner was thoroughly tested. Dr David also tests for things that none of my two IVF clinics tested for, like post-coital testing to see if the sperm were still alive and motoring around and what that window looks like for an individual couple.I liked that he [Dr. Sami David] did full diagnostics, exploring various treatments, not only looking into blood work tests...is compassionate, experienced, very positive,…I liked that he [Dr. Sami David] did full diagnostics, exploring various treatments, not only looking into blood work tests...is compassionate, experienced, very positive, detailed with diagnostics, but a little bit hesitant to explore and listen to the patient's suggestions/concerns that he hadn't encountered before...Listen to his advices and try out all his suggestions, and quickly move on with his diagnostics.Dr. David asked me questions other doctors hadn’t. He looked to find and fix the problem instead of just putting me through a course of meds and procedures...Dr. David prescribed…Dr. David asked me questions other doctors hadn’t. He looked to find and fix the problem instead of just putting me through a course of meds and procedures...Dr. David prescribed me a daily baby aspirin because he suspected I may have a clotting issue based on family history of early heart disease. He also instructed me to use a baking soda douche and to lay on my back 20 for twenty minutes after sex.He [Dr. Sami David] was always very kind...was able to diagnose several problems that the two previous clinics missed. Even though I have not been able to carry a pregnancy to…He [Dr. Sami David] was always very kind...was able to diagnose several problems that the two previous clinics missed. Even though I have not been able to carry a pregnancy to term, I am much closer than I would ever have been had I not seen him...We haven't gotten to IVF yet because we are still treating issues that prevent pregnancy. In general, he is very conservative with treatment, favoring fewer eggs at higher quality. He has concerns that large dosages of gonal-f degrade egg quality. For our IUIs, I started gonal-f on day three and used it until I had two follicles near 19mm.Dr. David himself is warm and genuinely caring, and I never feel rushed...Dr. David would never hold a patient back from pursuing IVF but likes to pursue adequate diagnostics and…Dr. David himself is warm and genuinely caring, and I never feel rushed...Dr. David would never hold a patient back from pursuing IVF but likes to pursue adequate diagnostics and lifestyle changes first...Dr. David provided an incredibly thorough intake of both me AND my husband... Dr. David takes all of my concerns seriously, is non-judgmental, and supports patient empowerment and education. Further, he supports complementary medicine which other doctors either dismissed or were not well informed about, especially in relation to fertility...He found that my husband had not been thoroughly evaluated and referred him for additional testingEach time I visited, Dr. David sat with me and discussed current results or procedures. He takes as much time as is needed and has a reassuring, calm presence...The main reason I…Each time I visited, Dr. David sat with me and discussed current results or procedures. He takes as much time as is needed and has a reassuring, calm presence...The main reason I went to see Dr. David is because of my unexplained infertility. I am 35 and my husband and I both checked out fine in all testing at our previous doctor's office...Dr. David is extremely thorough, testing for many issues that other doctors ignore. He calls himself a fertility detective and I think that's a pretty accurate description.I felt like he was a salesman, bragging about his success records. He told me on one phone call without even reading my background that he thought i was getting pregnant every…I felt like he was a salesman, bragging about his success records. He told me on one phone call without even reading my background that he thought i was getting pregnant every month and he could "save" it by adding progesterone. I found him to be highly irresponsible as a Dr.I saw this doctor [Dr. David] for every IUI. He was nice and kind but kind of old school. He is not accessible to talk to on the phone and requires you to come in to speak to…I saw this doctor [Dr. David] for every IUI. He was nice and kind but kind of old school. He is not accessible to talk to on the phone and requires you to come in to speak to him...Dr. David is a very old school dr who believes there is an underlying reason to why women cant get pregnant and he attempts to find those reasons. He said most women do not need IVF and "promised" he'd get me pregnant..He [Dr. David] was very confident, I would say arrogant, and didn't seem so concerned with me as an individual patient. He's also stubborn and had a very set way of how he wanted…He [Dr. David] was very confident, I would say arrogant, and didn't seem so concerned with me as an individual patient. He's also stubborn and had a very set way of how he wanted to handle things. In addition, he missed key information during his testing, which potentially led to a miscarriage.Most importantly, we felt that we could trust the process with him... [Sami David] is not about procedures, he's about diagnostics.He [Dr. David] also treats IUI as as important as IVF, very important for the over 42 crowd, since IVF doesn't work as well with older eggs, even the mini cycles Dr. David is a…He [Dr. David] also treats IUI as as important as IVF, very important for the over 42 crowd, since IVF doesn't work as well with older eggs, even the mini cycles Dr. David is a proponent of.I always felt that he [Dr. Sami David] was considering my personal situation and not simply following some routine, and so he made me feel like we were a team and would figure out…I always felt that he [Dr. Sami David] was considering my personal situation and not simply following some routine, and so he made me feel like we were a team and would figure out together what was interfering with my getting pregnant. He displayed a high level of expertise and knowledge, and I felt optimistic and hopeful instead of defeated and unbearably sad. He was always warm and present, not distracted and rushed-he actually smiled and laughed at times which put me very much at ease.He [Dr. Sami David] is very patient and follows a very logical process of "peeling away the onion skin" to figure out what is interfering with your fertility. He does not JUMP to…He [Dr. Sami David] is very patient and follows a very logical process of "peeling away the onion skin" to figure out what is interfering with your fertility. He does not JUMP to set conclusions when things don't work the 1st time, but patiently tweaks the protocol to your response. He looks outside the box and instead of attributing my infertility to old eggs...He gave me hope when I had fear and no confidence. I HAVE A SON!!!Who you would meet
