    Dr. Schutt and her team were amazing and very supportive throughout my treatment at TFC. After years of struggling, we completed our only embryo transfer, and our daughter was born a few months later!

    My husband and I will always be grateful to Dr. Vaughn and TFC. Overall, our IVF experience was wonderful and far exceeded my expectations. We interviewed four Austin doctors/clinics and chose Dr. Vaughn for his bedside manner, approach, treatment record/success rates, and more. We also appreciated the larger team, which meant faster responses on billing and other matters than at some clinics. Despite its size, TFC felt personal and friendly. Although IVF is largely clinical, the clinic and appointments felt warm. I appreciated that Dr. Vaughn tailored treatment to my body. I had heard that understaffed clinics sometimes plan around holidays and weekends, but when Dr. Vaughn was unavailable for two weekend days, I could see other doctors, which was an added benefit. I had heard TFC appointments could run late, but ours were always on time, even near the end of the day. My only advice is to ask your doctor or nurse whether you need more medication. Two front desk staff once confirmed that my prescription was sufficient, but I later ran short and had to rush to Austin to find more. Alto pharmacy was extremely helpful. Asking a doctor or nurse would have prevented this. I began IVF feeling hopeless and negative, but Dr. Vaughn countered that with hope, positivity, and compassion. He explained everything clearly, patiently answered questions, and knew us as people, not just patients. His nurses were also wonderful—special thanks to Aleix—and responded quickly to emails and calls with genuine warmth and support. Dr. Vaughn was very calm before and after retrieval and during transfer. The transfer was unexpectedly beautiful, with a warm bed, soft lighting, and soothing music, making it a personal, positive experience. Our baby may arrive any day, all thanks to TFC and Dr. Vaughn. We sincerely thank you.

    After five long years of trying to conceive, we are immensely grateful to be expecting our precious daughter, thanks to the wonderful Texas Fertility Center team. From the first visit, we felt seen, heard, and supported. The doctors, nurses, and staff were knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in our journey. Even during the hardest moments, Dr. Gavrizi provided clear communication, attentive care, and unwavering encouragement. We never felt like a number; the team truly cared. Thanks to TFC, our dream of parenthood is finally coming true. Words cannot express our gratitude for our daughter. We highly recommend Texas Fertility Center to anyone struggling and considering fertility care. They gave us hope and now a family.
    Jul 16, 2025
    I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Amy Schutt. She listened carefully to all my concerns, and every appointment took no more than 10 minutes. Email communication was quick and convenient. I highly recommend TFC and Dr. Schutt.

    Texas Fertility Center is an excellent clinic with highly skilled doctors and support staff. From day one, Dr. Silverberg gave us hope and a plan—both urgently needed. With help from him, his nurses, and other TFC doctors, we had two successful pregnancies and three amazing babies. Their knowledge and expertise ended years of loss and disappointment and completed our family. I recommend Texas Fertility Center to anyone struggling with fertility—you will be well cared for!

    Everything and the service were excellent. The doctors and nurses were very kind. However, the receptionist at the front desk provided very poor service. She coldly cut me off when I tried to explain that I was undergoing cancer treatment, that insurance would cover all costs, and why I had to complete the information. Very poor attitude.

    I was deeply traumatized and needed time to heal before I could write this review. I suspect that many patients who had poor experiences at this clinic are too traumatized to write anything, which may explain why the reviews are so one-sided. After 18 months at this clinic, both of my ovaries were evaluated. Although one had a cyst, both had high AMH levels and were functioning normally. The doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery to remove the cyst. After surgery, I was told that one ovary was functioning poorly and then that it was completely nonfunctional. We underwent several IUIs and two IVF cycles with very poor results, even though my remaining ovary still had a high AMH level. He proceeded with IVF without explaining the expected outcome. They did not tell me the grades or success rates of the retrieved embryos, which I later learned is standard practice at other clinics. During the first IVF cycle, the nurse instructed me to use a different dose of stimulation medication from the dose the doctor had told me verbally. Fortunately, I caught the discrepancy because I was paying close attention. Apparently, an incorrect dose of a critical injection ‘did not matter.’ During the second cycle, the doctor was very late for the egg retrieval. By the time he arrived, I was crying because I feared the previous weeks of injections had been wasted. They were: the cycle produced nothing. When I complained, the doctor said I was blaming them for my infertility and told me to find another clinic. That was actually the best thing he said, because I did find another clinic where I was treated like a person and became pregnant during my first cycle. What did we discover? This doctor was so focused on my issues that he completely failed to diagnose my husband’s. The problem that actually required treatment was on his side. One more important point: a friend of mine also went to this clinic. Her doctor told her that her case was ‘impossible.’ After four failed IVF cycles, she left the clinic and then conceived naturally. Our situations were completely different, yet we both had poor treatment outcomes at this clinic and both became pregnant shortly after leaving. That is not a coincidence. The clinic made too many preventable mistakes and showed no accountability or compassion.

    We had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Amy Schutt and her team at TFC Cedar Park. They were a strong source of support throughout our journey and consistently provided unwavering help and encouragement. Dr. Schutt is compassionate and understanding, and every meeting with her left our family feeling more confident and reassured. The nurses were always there for us and cared for us as though we were their own children. Dr. Schutt was always happy to talk with us and eager to hear my wife’s thoughts. My wife felt completely comfortable sharing any question or idea with her. Dr. Schutt and her team brought an incredible atmosphere and positive energy to every visit! Looking back, we can confidently say that we would highly recommend Dr. Schutt and her team to our friends and family.

    I have the highest respect for the clinical staff. The level of care they provide is truly exceptional. The medical team’s dedication to patient health is clear. Their expertise and compassion create a supportive environment. I want to thank all the clinical staff for their hard work. Thanks to Dr. Silverberg and his team, I am now 16 weeks pregnant with my daughter. I will return to him for my next transfer.
    Oct 18, 2025
    My husband and I are very grateful to Dr. Silverberg for listening to our wishes and needs throughout the process! After a difficult path, we decided to see Dr. Silverberg. His warmth and his team’s attentive care reassured us and gave us confidence that we would soon have a baby of our own. Even without IVF, his team stayed with us until we learned that I was pregnant! They monitored me closely for 9 weeks, and now we have a perfect baby who is 3 months old! We love you, Dr. Silverberg!

    My experience at this clinic was terrible. They treated you like livestock, moving you in and out quickly. They did not listen when I said I was concerned that I had endometriosis. The doctor said, ‘Oh, it does not matter.’ We underwent a very expensive IUI that would have cost much less at my OB-GYN’s office. I had already completed two there without success, but they insisted I try another at considerable expense. We then proceeded to IVF. I did not feel they handled my injection process carefully. I spent a great deal of money on medication I did not need. In the end, 20 eggs produced one good embryo. During the transfer, I became emotional and laughed at something. The doctor scolded me and told me not to laugh, appearing frustrated throughout the procedure. She even tossed something—not forcefully, but with an ‘I have had enough’ attitude. I saw all the staff staring at her because you are lying on the table looking at everyone. The transfer failed. A few months later, I decided to undergo laparoscopic surgery with my OB-GYN because I could no longer tolerate the pain. After surgery, I conceived naturally twice, but unfortunately miscarried both times. It turned out that I have a clotting disorder, which the doctor also missed. I am writing this review because I wish I had seen one like it when I was reading reviews and deciding where to spend thousands of dollars on fertility care. TFC is not the clinic to choose.

    I am Lucy Wise, Sam’s wife. My experience communicating with this clinic has been very poor. I called repeatedly to schedule or renew a follow-up appointment. Each time I was told the wait would be over an hour, sometimes longer, only for the call to disconnect without anyone answering. This happened repeatedly. At other times, no one answered and the line simply remained open. The clinic did not call back or follow up. For a medical clinic, especially one providing fertility care, this lack of organization and disregard for patients’ time is unacceptable.
    Dec 15, 2025
    Stay away from this clinic! They only care about making money, not whether patients become pregnant. The doctor secretly used conventional fertilization instead of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) but still charged us for ICSI. Three months later, we still have not received a refund. They appear to be working with Ovation to deceive patients. Extremely unprofessional and dishonest!
    Dec 1, 2025
    Very professional, with clear explanations! Thank you for everything you do!

    We love Dr. Silverberg and his team! I had previously gone to another fertility clinic in town and felt they had not identified the root cause of my fertility issues, so I transferred to TFC. Moving to TFC was the best decision we made. Dr. Silverberg not only helped us conceive our son through IVF, but also discovered that I had diabetes. He truly cares about his patients and found the underlying cause of my infertility. After two surgeries and removal of all the polyps, I finally became pregnant. Honestly, before meeting Dr. Silverberg, I was not sure we would ever have a child of our own. We will always be grateful to Dr. Silverberg and his team for helping make our dream come true. Our baby boy was born this fall! I cannot count how many emails and calls I made to Dr. Silverberg’s team with countless questions, and they always answered patiently and thoughtfully. Be sure to ask questions and mention any symptoms or concerns during appointments, as visits can sometimes go quickly. If you forget, leave the nurses a message and they will respond as soon as possible. After I shared with Dr. S’s team how IVF was affecting me physically and emotionally, they worked with me to create an IVF transfer plan suited to my needs. IVF can be physically and emotionally exhausting, so tell the team if it becomes overwhelming. I was also fortunate to see Dr. Hansard and Dr. Vaughn several times when they provided coverage, and both were excellent. I felt their care and patience at every visit. In my view, these doctors are worth the wait. It shows that they take time with each patient and genuinely care. Any excellent clinic will usually have some wait. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone struggling with infertility. After transferring from another clinic, the only learning curve was how to contact the nursing team and doctors. At my previous clinic, I could message them directly through the portal. Here, you must call and choose the correct extension based on the date and time. On your first day with the nurse, ask about the correct process and make sure you understand it. Once you do, it is easy. Dr. S’s nursing team is excellent and extremely efficient. I wish every clinic had a team like this! Their service has spoiled me. Also, because appointments and treatments are frequent, watch your bills closely. I wish I had paid more attention and kept records, especially early in treatment.

    Thank you, Texas Fertility Center! We conceived our third baby through TFC. Dr. Silverberg is truly world-class. He is confident, reassuring, and a gift from above. This clinic was the answer to our prayers. Many of my friends are also his patients, and I always recommend him without hesitation to anyone struggling with fertility issues!

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Silverberg and his excellent care team. IVF is difficult, and the medical team's effort matters enormously. From the beginning, we felt their care and consideration. Every question was answered, and every call was returned the same day. I felt deeply supported at every step, and every treatment plan seemed tailored to my circumstances. Dr. Silverberg is approachable and very funny. I would recommend him and his team to anyone considering IVF. If you are unsure, schedule a consultation. It was completely worthwhile for us. After years of trying without success, we welcomed a beautiful baby girl in November. Highly recommended!

    I am incredibly grateful that we found Dr. Silverberg. He is not only highly skilled but also very experienced—his expertise and confidence are evident in every interaction. We trusted him completely from the start, and I believe that trust helped bring us to this happy moment: I am 10 weeks pregnant! Behind his confidence is a genuinely caring person :) This pregnancy journey had many ups and downs, but he was always there. Whenever I needed help with medication, he responded promptly; whenever I wanted to see him for reassurance, he did his best to fit me in, even at short notice. Graduating from his care feels both bittersweet and reassuring—I will miss him and his team very much. I highly recommend Dr. Silverberg and will always be grateful for his care, compassion, and support.

    ⭐ Review of Dr. Karen Silverberg – Texas Fertility Center We cannot thank Dr. Karen Silverberg and his team enough. After two failed frozen embryo transfers at Boston IVF, I began to think I was simply too old to become pregnant. Dr. Silverberg did not give up on me. Instead, he investigated why the transfers had failed—something no one had done before. He performed a hysteroscopy and found multiple polyps and a tilted uterus that my previous clinic had completely missed. He then recommended an endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) to identify the best time for implantation. He also noticed that my prolactin was elevated. Because of his attention to detail, we discovered a pituitary macroadenoma that could have continued affecting my fertility and overall health. He confirmed it with an MRI and established the right treatment plan. After three months of medication, we were ready for our second frozen embryo transfer (FET). The transfer was successful. Thanks to Dr. Silverberg's skill, persistence, and genuine commitment to finding answers, we now have our miracle baby boy. He changed our lives, and I will always appreciate the care, compassion, and determination he showed throughout our fertility journey. If you want a fertility doctor who overlooks nothing, advocates for you, and treats you as a person rather than a number, Dr. Silverberg is the right choice.

    If I could do it again, I would never return to Texas Fertility Center. As a fertility-preservation patient preparing for chemotherapy, I felt completely unsupported. Dr. Gavrizi entered and left the room without explanation, compassion, or guidance. After one failed IVF cycle, I underwent another feeling completely in the dark. When I first saw the pregnancy on ultrasound, she coldly said there was no heartbeat, without any compassion. I then sought a second opinion and received completely different care. I ultimately miscarried and refused to have anything further to do with Texas Fertility Center or give them more money. Even billing was cold and focused only on payment. Nurse Jamie was the only person who truly cared. IVF is already emotionally and financially exhausting; we deserve doctors who care, review our records, and treat us as people. Save your money. I am not saying every doctor there is bad, but I would never choose Dr. Gavrizi again.
    Jan 22, 2026
    In 2023 and 2024, I worked with Dr. Vaughan at TFC for 13 months. I regret it and wish I had found another doctor sooner. TFC is outdated and uses no email or messaging system, so all communication must happen by phone. They do not answer, only promise callbacks. For someone with a busy job and frequent meetings, this is very stressful. Outside business hours, their voicemail will not even let you leave a message. You must call between 8 a.m. and noon or 1 and 3 p.m., leave a message, and wait. I did not realize how stressful this was—or how it may have affected my outcome—until I changed doctors. I completed 5 IVF stimulation cycles. I responded poorly and usually had only 2-4 follicles. Dr. Vaughan would not retrieve so few, so I never had an egg retrieval. He recommended donor eggs, but I went to another doctor instead. At my first retrieval, I had only two follicles. One egg fertilized and underwent genetic testing, and I now have an embryo. If Dr. Vaughan had retrieved whenever I had two or more follicles, I might now have several embryos and could have saved considerable time and money. I could say much more, but I will stop here. Other TFC doctors may be different, but Dr. Vaughan founded the practice and sets its standards. The entire clinic also lacks an information system. It is time for Dr. Vaughan to retire so a new generation can establish new standards and processes. ---- Update: I delivered a beautiful daughter using the embryo retrieved during my first IVF cycle with another doctor. It was a long journey, and I am immensely grateful she is here.

    I cannot say enough good things about TFC and Dr. Propst. We began our IVF journey at Aspire, but their clinic and communication had many problems. A friend recommended TFC, and I am extremely glad we switched. Dr. Propst communicates thoroughly and thoughtfully. I had an egg retrieval in January and laparoscopic surgery in February to confirm endometriosis. Dr. Propst performed my excision surgery, which went very smoothly. We transferred our best embryo in April and welcomed our healthy baby boy in December. Thank you again, TFC and Dr. Propst. We will return soon to try for our second baby!
    Apr 29, 2026
    My experience with TFC was fantastic overall. While at the beginning I felt a little bit uneasy with the process and felt like their phone/email system left a little bit to be desired….i learned that once you’re in the pipeline with a retrieval or transfer the system is very buttoned up with returning phone calls/emails. The nurse team is all so kind and helpful through a process that has a steep learning curve. I saw Dr. Silverberg throughout my little over 1 year commitment to IVF. He was so kind, positive and knowledgeable. He was realistic which I appreciate but always with a heavy dose of positivity and hope. He is quick in/out of the room but generally doesn’t mind answering a question if you have them! Just be ready with what your questions are… at the end of the day he knows how to get it done/give you the best odds of success. We had a few unexpected outcomes to which he immediately pivoted to a solution that worked the next time. We owe a lot to him and would absolutely send a friend or family member his way. Thank you Dr. Silverberg!!!

    我联系TFC咨询我所需的服务时，他们本应事先获得授权，但他们却说他们不在我的保险网络内，我的保险公司在我接受服务后拒绝支付，而他们仍然可以申请保险。结果，整个疗程的所有费用都由我自掏腰包支付。 服务结束后我联系他们，他们却说我应该通过雇主申请生育服务，所以要我自己去处理。他们甚至直到我多次催促才提供服务明细账单（现在还有几张账单没收到）。 我问Lisa Hansard医生整个过程的费用有多高，她却说：“别问我付款方面的问题，你的保险会报销的。” 说白了，他们的目的就是让你接受服务，他们会给你安排“财务顾问”，说会帮你解决，但服务结束后，他们就会说：“去找你的保险公司，别来烦我们。”
    May 27, 2026
    我和妻子在TFC、Lisa Hansard医生及其团队的帮助下，获得了非常棒的体验。我们非常欣赏她以创伤知情为基础的治疗理念以及她渊博的知识。从第一次就诊就发现我子宫里有一个巨大的肌瘤，到2025年初成功进行胚胎移植，整个过程令人欣慰。去年12月我们迎来了第一个宝宝，等我们准备好要个弟弟或妹妹的时候，一定会再次选择TFC。 致所有正在与不孕不育作斗争的人们——请坚强，祝你们一切顺利！
    May 27, 2026
    我无法用言语来表达我们对凯伦·西尔弗伯格医生及其在TFC团队的感激之情。感谢西尔弗伯格医生及其团队，我们拥有了两个可爱的孩子，这都归功于他精湛的医术。在过去的三年里，我们进行了两轮试管婴儿治疗，一人一胎，我们完全理解患者需要投入的时间和精力，也深知这其中的挑战。对我而言，西尔弗伯格医生或许是我能遇到的最好的医生。他思维敏捷、直率坦诚、关怀备至，而且我一直觉得他非常幽默。当治疗出现问题时，我能真切地感受到他竭尽全力地找出症结所在，并思考我们可以如何改进。此外，他还是一位杰出的女性健康倡导者，致力于让更多人能够获得生育治疗。我不知道他是如何在奔波于各地的同时完成这项工作的，但他确实做到了，我希望更多的家庭能够感激他的付出。我在那里的时候也见过Vaughn医生和Hansard医生，对他们的评价也非常好。 在阅读评论时，我觉得有必要强调几点。生育治疗对很多人来说都是一段非常艰难的时期。仅仅因为一个人对某种态度或方法感到不满，并不意味着你也会有同样的感受。整个过程中可能会有很多难熬的日子。此外，治疗过程中难免会遇到等待的情况。重要的是要理解，他们为了确保患者在需要的时候能够及时就诊，会尽可能安排多位医生，而这取决于治疗周期中一些难以预测的情况，有时甚至要到当天或前一天才能确定。所以，请尽量体谅他们，因为在某些时候，你也会需要同样的体谅。 话虽如此，我真的对他们的团队赞不绝口，并且已经向很多人推荐过他们，他们也都取得了很好的治疗效果！
    May 19, 2026
    我们与舒特医生及其团队的合作非常愉快。整个过程中，他们始终保持积极乐观的态度，给予我们极大的支持。我们非常幸运，只进行了一次取卵和一次移植，就迎来了我们的奇迹宝宝！整个过程中，我完全没有感到焦虑或紧张，因为我信任他们，这绝对是我们做过的最正确的决定之一。
    Jun 28, 2026
    I’m a new patient of Dr. Silverberg. Unfortunately the office do not return calls, they do not answer phones, they don’t give complete information. I went to do some lab works and the lab noticed one of the orders had a different doctor name on it. Another lab also needed an extra box to place the blood sample and the office gave me only one box. The process of IVF is stressful by itself so you hope the medical team you work with help you to make this process easier and not harder.
    Jun 10, 2026
    我非常喜欢和西尔弗伯格医生一起工作。他工作认真负责，知识渊博。他的胚胎移植成功率很高，这都归功于他体贴周到、富有同情心，并且在专业领域内值得信赖。他发现我乳房里有一个我之前不知道的肿块，并且出于对癌症的担忧，他拒绝继续进行试管婴儿治疗。而我之前并不知道，我的乳房X光检查中其实发现了一个更大的肿块，我们既摸不到也看不到。一切皆有因果，多亏了西尔弗伯格医生，我才能及早发现这些肿块！在我之前接触过的其他试管婴儿医生中，没有谁像他这样谨慎细致、关心我的健康，因此我给他五星好评！如果可以打十分就好了。
    Jul 2, 2025
    Completely unethical and financially predatory. This clinic made a major billing error, misled me about insurance coverage, and then tried to make me financially responsible for their mistake, with no accountability or empathy. Their staff is disorganized, communication is poor, and once they have your money, they hide behind a billing department that refuses to acknowledge anything. If you are going through something as vulnerable and personal as fertility treatment, this is not a place you should trust. They will leave you feeling abandoned and helpless, then send you an enormous bill. Avoid at all costs.
    Jun 20, 2025
    We had a good experience with the staff, but they sent some of our test results to an out-of-network lab. As a result, 10 months later we unexpectedly received a bill for nearly $700 that we now have to pay. If they had used the correct lab, the cost would have been fully covered. Ironically, this unexpected bill arrived on the day of our scheduled induction after we ultimately conceived on our own, so we were very unhappy. I do not recommend this center.
    Jun 12, 2025
    Dr. Petrini is amazing—five stars! The nurses are wonderful. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. I can only give four stars because it is frustrating and unreasonable that a clinic with expensive out-of-pocket costs still uses paper medical records. This complicates prescriptions, record sharing, and postoperative care documentation. Overall, I highly recommend them because they excel at their primary purpose. Thank you, Dr. Petrini!
    Dec 18, 2024
    After researching several fertility centers, we chose TFC. We were patients of Dr. Amy Schutt, and I highly recommend her. My husband and I found her very proactive in developing our fertility plan and care, and she was always willing to adjust the plan when we did not see the best results. She also quickly prioritized my health over all our plans and timelines, which I greatly appreciated. She clearly explained how I could care for myself better throughout the process through nutrition, exercise, and stress management. During this daunting process, she and her care team were warm, supportive, responsive, and reassuring, and they were encouraging and joyful after our successful transfer and graduation. Transferring from TFC to our new OB-GYN was bittersweet—the TFC team left a huge void! I cannot imagine how we would have endured this difficult period—1 year and 5 egg retrievals—without Dr. Schutt's knowledge, expertise, and attentive care. Baby boy due May 2025!
    Dec 9, 2024
    Severely incompetent, especially the billing department. I saw Dr. Petrini. I underwent 1 stimulation cycle and 2 embryo transfers, all unsuccessful. Only after switching to another doctor did I learn that poor egg quality was the reason, which had never been communicated to me. I was also fortunate to have kept all my records because they refused to transfer the complete records to my other doctor. Despite having insurance, I ultimately paid $14,000 out of pocket and had to fight for an itemized bill to submit to insurance for partial reimbursement. In addition, my PGT testing order was lost for 10 weeks while I waited for results. Be prepared to visit different clinics and be billed by different providers for every procedure and test. This creates a nightmare of chasing vendors and trying to understand what you have. Dealing with billing and logistics was actually harder than the fertility care itself, which says a lot. Ten months after switching to another fertility group, I am still receiving random bills from the many different providers who charged me through this clinic. The billing department and front desk were never helpful and always had an attitude of, ‘I do not know what this is; it is not my problem.’ Even with insurance, a self-pay clinic may be cheaper and easier. Avoid at all costs.

    We had an amazing experience at this clinic! Fertility treatment is not easy, but Texas Fertility Center made it easy to understand and guided us toward the right steps for greater success. We felt supported by the doctors throughout treatment, and their service was 10 out of 10! We welcomed our new baby in August and could not be happier.
    Apr 20, 2026
    Dr. Petrini is wonderful. Throughout my treatment, she was thoughtful, meticulous, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I will always be grateful to her and to TFC.
    Apr 17, 2026
    I had an excellent experience at Texas Fertility Center, especially under Dr. Petrini’s care. From the initial evaluation through treatment, I always felt well cared for and supported. The staff were consistently warm and friendly, which made an important difference throughout the process. While Dr. Petrini was on maternity leave, Dr. Schutt took over seamlessly, with no interruption in my care. The transition was very smooth, and I remained confident in the entire team. Thank you to the whole team for your professionalism, compassion, and dedication!

    Dr. Petrini and her team are amazing! My wife and I had a wonderful experience here. From the beginning, they were kind, thoughtful, and very clear in their explanations. We felt genuinely cared for. We highly recommend Texas Fertility Center and Dr. Petrini’s team.

    工作人员五个多月都没能更改出生日期，导致保险问题层出不穷。医生要求我们不要“虐待”护士（即要求她们履行职责），而我们并没有使用任何不当言语或语气，只是反复要求她们完成一些日常工作。同一位医生在整个卵泡期都向我们保证一切顺利，之后却突然取消了卵子采集手术。我们多次要求查阅医疗记录，但都被置之不理。我们已就违反《健康保险流通与责任法案》(HIPAA) 一事向德克萨斯州医学委员会、德克萨斯州总检察长办公室和美国卫生与公众服务部民权办公室提出投诉。

    Dr. Petrini is amazing! My husband and I cannot adequately express our gratitude to her and her entire team. She is brilliant, and every recommendation she makes is grounded in research, evidence, and sound medical knowledge. She is empathetic, always encouraging, and patiently answered every question we asked. We never felt rushed or dismissed. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Dr. Petrini with us during one of the hardest periods of our lives as we waited to conceive. Thanks to her care and support, we are now expecting a baby and are deeply grateful for the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Petrini to all prospective parents trying to conceive—she is the best!

    Through two rounds of egg freezing and one pregnancy, Dr. Petrini was the most reassuring and knowledgeable doctor my husband and I could have asked for. She is calm, reassuring, and gives patients confidence! I loved my experience at TFC and have referred many friends. You will not find a more reassuring and helpful fertility clinic in Austin!

    She is amazing. I felt that she genuinely cared about me and listened closely. As a Black woman, I appreciate these qualities in a fertility doctor.

    Dr. Petrini is amazing. She always provided scientific and statistical data so I could make informed treatment decisions. It is clear that she genuinely cares about her patients. The nurses and office staff are also wonderful; they respond to voicemails and emails promptly, and no one ever made me feel foolish for asking many questions. I could not have found a better doctor or team.

    Dr. Allison Petrini is truly a blessing. She is very professional, listens well, gives us different options, and explains the treatment in detail. My wife and I greatly enjoyed working with her and will always be grateful. Thank you, Dr. Petrini and team!

    Dr. Petrini is amazing! After a full year of heartbreak and frustration, she gave me hope and practical advice. She skillfully identified and removed the uterine polyp causing my infertility. After decades of unpleasant experiences with OB-GYNs, Dr. Petrini made me feel heard and truly found and addressed the root of my problem. She did not dismiss me or minimize my concerns as so many others had.
