Dr Kathirsean is an amazing doctor! I've been a patient of hers for 4 years now. I went to her when…read moreI turned 30 after getting off the depo birth control shot - My body felt very imbalanced and I wasn't having cycles and knew something was off and I knew I wanted a family one day, so wanted to be proactive and check my fertility. She was very understanding of my wishes to try and do things naturally as I wasn't in the place for IVF, and given this being a fertility provider I never felt they were pushy at all, just simply let me know my options which I loved. Fast forward I came to her at 33 just to check up on everything to see if things improved and it did. My thyroid did back back a little high which hypothyroidism runs in my family - It wasn't too high to be a major concern but fast forward 4 months I became pregnant unexpectedly and she did recommend starting the thyroid medicine to protect my pregnancy and I agreed. My thyroid levels are normal and I feel really good again finally. I appreciate her as a doctor to allow me to try to do things more naturally but also letting me know when it's necessary to go the medicinal route. She was always so kind and patient and a sweet doctor!

Dr. Kathiresan, her team, and all of the staff at the Center of Reproductive Medicine have been so…read moreknowledgeable and compassionate as my husband and I navigated our fertility journey. We felt truly known and cared for by everyone there, and appreciated that the teams were accessible when we had questions or concerns. Dr. Kathiresan was patient, caring and honest each step of the way. The team was right there celebrating with us when we received the good news of our little miracle on the way. I can't recommend Dr. Kathiresan enough for anyone seeking a reproductive endocrinologist.

From the very first appointment (consultation) my…read morehusband and I were reassured that they would be able to help our dream of becoming a family become a reality. The nurses were always very helpful and thorough in explaining the steps from egg retrieval to transfer. HFI has an online portal in which you are able to message nurses and doctors any questions you have. I have worked with many of the different doctors and had great experiences. Dr. Griffith and nurse Jenna are exceptional! We are currently expecting our first child thanks to them! I only wish we would have come to HFI years ago!

We were under the care of Dr. Skorupski and his team at the Willowbrook location. Dr. Skorupski is…read moreby far the best Dr. that I've ever experienced. He is caring and honest, has confidence in what he talks to you about which makes you feel at ease and in good hands throughout the experience. The IVF process was made easy by Dr. Skorupski and the nurses and staff. The online portal is convenient and easy to ask follow up questions with quick response. Appointment time are flexible and you're in and out pretty quickly - very consistent with about 30-40 minutes to get in and out with each ultrasound and blood work appointment. They also use Conception Pharmacy which was fantastic. We tried going through our insurance for medication and ended up just choosing Conception because of the ease of ordering and knowing what was going on with the medication vs the company my insurance used. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Skorupski and this office to anyone needing assistance with fertility. We did one round of IVF due to a faulty fallopian tube on my end and low egg reserve. We got 6 embryos, did PGD testing and had 4 make it to freezing. We implanted two and they both implanted!! As scary and stressful as the experience could have been, it was a comforting and easy experience with this team.

SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT! After heavy bleeding and chronic pelvic pain from 9/2017-11/2017, several…read moreER and GYN specialists visits, it was discovered I had multiple fibroids. I went to see Dr. Mazen Abdallah in October 2017. I told him my husband and I wanted to start a family but the heavy bleeding, pain, and fibroids were preventing that from happening. He reassured me he was going to FIX the problem by removing the fibroids in efforts to start fertility process. Long story short, Dr. Abdallah sold me a dream! He put a BANDAID over the problem by putting me on birth control to stop the bleeding, gave me a narcotic for the pain and approved me to be on bedrest starting 11/9/17. I had surgery dates of 11/21/17 and 12/5/17 but he canceled it saying it's not going to help the pain--he thinks it's something else going. He ordered an MRI but still didn't tell me "what else" is going on. 12/1/17 Dr. Abdallah said he can't help me and referred me to his colleague Dr. Zied at a completely different practice. I became frustrated, still on bedrest, no surgery, still taking the birth control and over the counter pain medication, and had to start over with another physician to get the fibroids removed! Because of all the time wasted and the horrible communication between Dr. Abdallah and Lauren Reed, Head of Patient Financial Services, my short term disability was denied which left me in a financial bind with the fibroids and pain. Lauren Reed (who is NOT a physician or RN) said it wasn't medically necessary for me to be on bedrest, therefore, she can't fill out the forms for my short term disability. This was such a waste of time and I still have the fibroids! **Think twice before settling with Houston Fertility Institute**

Hands down, this is the best fertility spot. If you want to have the highest chances of having a…read morebaby(s) come here. You won't regret it. Just be aware that, unless you are planning on paying CASH and not using insurance, you will have constant billing issues. The billing department is the biggest nightmare I have ever encountered. Susie at the Fertility Center is amazing and was so helpful in all of my many grievances, but the people who are actually in charge of billing are horrible. I was overcharged, told a retrieval was not covered the night before bc of a test i failed to do on a specific date (later they fixed the issue, but you can imagine the stress), would receive endless bills ranging from $5-10,000 after procedures (constant calls trying to figure out what it was for), the list goes on...they tell you a certain number and then it grows and changes constantly. The stress you encounter on top of the stress you are already undergoing with all the IVF drugs is really bad. Be prepared to make this your full time job. With that being said, Nurse Bobbie is incredible. She is the best nurse you will ever meet in your life and I really give her all the credit for my pregnancy. I believe all the Dr's are amazing as well, Dr.Zarutskie, Dr.Schutt, amongst others. They are all so detailed, talk to you thoroughly, give you the utmost attention in answering any questions and concerns, the nurses get back to you right away through the portal, the means of communication with all your records are extremely well organized, they talk to you about everything (what to expect, specific options, extra options, different approaches)... I cannot say enough great things. Super professional. I had a friend that went somewhere else and was so jealous of all the extra info i received, that she didnt. Throughout all my many procedures, the nurses in the back with the surgeries were top notch. It really felt like a luxury experience. The Drs and nurses are INCREDIBLE!!! it's so sad that the billing department is so inept and causes so much stress and confusion on patients. The IVF process is so expensive as it is and this process through TEXAS CHILDREN'S will drain you with their constant whip-lash in what you owe. I will always go back bc I love the dr's, the facility and nurse Bobbie, but just be prepared for the stress associated with the financial part.

He saved my life when I had been to 3 other drs and they did not see it. I had the cancer removed and have been cancer free for a year now. We started the cycle in June with a donor egg that looks like she could be my daughter. and as I went every week Melissa and Cecillia became part of my family. They are on top of things and know everything about every prolem or question you might have. I must have called them a hundred times and they always gave me the answer I needed. The clear Lake office is awesome. They always called me if there would be a delay in my appointment so I wouldn't have to wait long. I had to go to the Piney Point office on Fondren three times but it was very busy there and It didnt compare to the love and care I received at the Clear Lake location. We are expecting twins ( thanks to my 19 yr old egg donor) and are in our 12th week. The babies are due in the 1st week in April. We are so excited and feel so blessed to have chosen Houston Fertility Institute Clear Lake! Greg and Jennifer
