    After three years of infertility and seeing numerous doctors, we had lost hope and time. Then we found Dr. Moghadam—Dr. Mogey, as I like to call him—and his AFI team. Our hope returned, and for good reason: we graduated a few weeks ago! I could write an entire love letter or essay to AFI, but I will try to keep it brief and sweet. Dr. Mogey is direct and extremely knowledgeable. He is also compassionate and funny. I trusted him completely, despite having trust issues, especially in healthcare, and felt that he genuinely cared about me as a patient and about our ultimate goal. I cannot praise AFI enough. The front-desk staff, technicians, and nurses are all kind and helpful. We miss them! From the first consultation, we knew we were in good hands and were amazed by how quickly he made things happen. We are very grateful. I am an anxious person, but Dr. Mogey was transparent and reassuring and always took time to answer all our questions thoroughly. Because this is a specialty office, I also expected long waits, but to my pleasant surprise, we were usually in and out quickly. I can recall only one or two longer waits, which is not bad considering how many visits IVF requires. In short, if you are serious about your fertility, see Dr. Mogey and the AFI team. Do it.

    Thank you, Dr. M!! You helped us so much and did an outstanding job. Even with all the trials and difficulties, my experience here was wonderful. I cannot wait to do it again and grow our family ☺️

    I had a terrible experience with Dr. Moghadam and do not recommend this place. During my visit, Dr. Moghadam showed a complete lack of empathy and was aggressive, judgmental, and disrespectful. His bedside manner was the worst I have ever encountered. I expressed my dissatisfaction with his behavior and had to leave his office. I regret not heeding the warnings in numerous one-star reviews about his disrespectful conduct. I will not allow him to bully me.

    The experience with this doctor was not pleasant at all :( I understand all the low-rating feedback here.
    Feb 5, 2025
    I would give zero stars if I could. I was shocked by the way he spoke to patients. I would never want anyone to lose the opportunity to have a family, but if you can go anywhere else, you should. Thanks to Aspire Fertility, I have a wonderful baby boy!

    Dr. Moghadam is very kind and passionate about his work and highly compassionate toward patients. His staff are very professional and clearly communicated the importance of the medication schedule. They also worked hard to reduce our medication costs and provided samples when available. We underwent several IVF procedures, but the donor agency did not explain the difference between proven and unproven donors. We were new to this. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful after spending about $50,000 across two IVF centers. Even so, Dr. M. never gave up and always did his best to carry out plans B and C, though we accepted responsibility for the wrong decision we may have made about the donor. We felt very cared for and supported throughout the process. I highly recommend Dr. M to anyone with fertility problems. We are considering returning after saving enough for surrogacy.

    My highest recommendation for Austin Fertility Institute! Having such a supportive and knowledgeable team beside you during fertility treatment truly helps.

    Dr. Moghadam and the entire AFI team have been outstanding to my family and me over the past 3 years. In 2022, after multiple miscarriages and visits to other Austin fertility clinics, I met Dr. M and his nurse, and we developed a plan for a successful pregnancy. This is not an assembly-line fertility clinic like some others in Austin. He cares about patients, creates detailed plans, and even messages or calls on weekends and holidays so you are not left waiting for laboratory work. After our daughter was born and we moved out of Texas, my husband and I decided to return to AFI in Austin to help us become pregnant again, and everything has gone smoothly. If you want a fertility clinic that cares about your successful pregnancy and treats you as more than a number, AFI is an excellent choice. I highly recommend them.

    Dr. Moghadam's patient care felt very personalized, which reassured me. Whenever we had questions or concerns, he gave us direct, honest answers. Our first egg retrieval and first embryo transfer were successful. Thank you to Dr. M and the AFI staff for supporting us throughout IVF.
    Feb 13, 2025
    Working with Dr. M was wonderful. He is direct, communicates clearly, and cares about his patients. It was clear to my husband and me that he was not simply directing us toward the most expensive option. He diagnosed and treated my endometriosis, and we were fortunate to conceive our daughter without assistance after surgery. His clinic is busy, so waits can be long, but that is also the nature of medicine: doctors schedule surgeries and take time with patients rather than rushing them. I will continue recommending AFI to anyone I know seeking a fertility specialist!

    Where do I begin in expressing my gratitude for AFI and Dr. M? We came to him after a previous doctor diagnosed diminished ovarian reserve while we were struggling to have a second child. The original clinic would not change its protocol, investigate more deeply, or consider the whole picture. Dr. M was different. He explained every option and which he believed would work, and we trusted him immediately. He is direct and to the point, but is that not why you go to a fertility clinic: for answers? That is what I wanted. Do not mistake his directness for a lack of care; nothing could be further from the truth. I can confidently recommend Dr. M and his staff to anyone. We are now awaiting the birth of twins conceived during our first IUI cycle at AFI, and I could not be more grateful to Dr. M. He wanted the process to go as smoothly as we did and became excited at every ultrasound when we said the babies had suddenly appeared. I will never forget Dr. M and his desire to see our dream of growing our family come true. If you are struggling with infertility, go to AFI. I promise you will not regret the decision. We will see you next time at AFI with our two babies!

    My wife and I had a very positive experience working with Dr. Moghadam and his team at Austin Fertility Institute. We chose reciprocal IVF, and from the beginning, Dr. Moghadam was very respectful and knowledgeable about our path to parenthood. I had long experienced painful periods, and Dr. Moghadam was the first physician to correctly diagnose my endometriosis. He referred me to an excellent surgeon for a myomectomy, which laid the foundation for a successful transfer. I recovered well after surgery, and our first embryo transfer resulted in a healthy baby. When we decided to expand our family, we returned to Austin Fertility Institute. Following another successful embryo transfer, we are expecting our second baby in November. We received truly personalized care. Dr. Moghadam always answered our questions patiently and guided us through each step. Although waits were sometimes long, this was because he gave every patient the time and attention they needed, which we deeply appreciated. His staff were also very kind and helpful. They were especially understanding about my fear of needles and helped me establish a routine for blood draws, making them easier to tolerate. Fertility treatment can feel overwhelming, but having a respectful, compassionate, and caring team made all the difference. We are very grateful to Austin Fertility Institute for helping us build our family.

    Updated Review—Our Full Journey Now that our fertility journey is complete, I want to share a fuller account of our experience with Dr. M and his clinic. First, I want to acknowledge that Dr. M is highly professional. From the beginning, he was candid about our treatment options and created a clear plan based on my diagnosis and insurance coverage. We completed one IVF cycle and froze two viable embryos. At the time, we hoped for two children, and Dr. M presented two options: a second IVF cycle, potentially paid out of pocket with a claim submitted for reimbursement, or intrauterine insemination (IUI). Although I was initially skeptical about IUI, especially given our past experience, Dr. M encouraged us to consider it—and thankfully, it succeeded after two cycles. Although we are extremely grateful to have achieved our goal of becoming parents, I want to speak honestly about the challenges we faced. Dr. M's bedside manner was deeply disappointing. Although I believe this field requires compassion, and he does show some, I would not describe the overall patient experience he provides as warm or empathetic. At 8 weeks pregnant, I experienced a particularly difficult episode of severe bleeding. Unable to reach the clinic during office hours, I texted Dr. M at the emergency number he had provided. He replied, “This is an inappropriate use of my cell phone. My staff will call you back.” When I was seen at the clinic, he dismissively told me, “Your baby is fine, just as I thought,” without expressing any empathy for the deeply distressing situation. Nine months later, we welcomed a healthy baby boy. After a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, we felt our family was complete. Because the clinic still stored two frozen embryos, I contacted them to ask about other options. Unfortunately, getting a clear answer from the responsible staff was frustrating and vague. I struggled to obtain any specific information. Eventually, I spoke with Natasha at the front desk, who was always kind, helpful, and compassionate and deserves special recognition. After that conversation, Dr. M called me directly. Instead of addressing my concerns or acknowledging the communication problems, he defended his staff, emphasized their ability to work from home, and highlighted the clinic's strong overall performance. He implied that the issue might be how I asked my questions rather than the quality of the responses. We ultimately retrieved our embryos from the laboratory, whose staff were professional and kind throughout the process. In summary, although I am very grateful to Dr. M for helping us become parents, I cannot overlook the emotional impact of an experience that often felt transactional and lacking in compassion. If your insurance allows you to choose a clinic where care is more empathetic and supportive, I encourage you to explore that option.

    In 2023, another fertility specialist told us we would never be able to have children. On July 1, 2025, we welcomed beautiful twins. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Moghadam. We sincerely thank him for everything he did. We highly recommend him and have referred several friends who are investigating their own fertility concerns.
    Jul 6, 2025
    I waited more than a year before reflecting on the treatment I received. Pros: Dr. M is knowledgeable and communicates the treatment process and options well. You may need some familiarity with medical terminology to understand their discussions and plans. The staff are also well trained and knowledgeable. Cons: His bedside manner left me feeling hurt and diminished. This was not a side effect—it seemed to be his intention. Worst of all, he appeared to feel powerful while watching me struggle.

    What a great doctor! He tells you everything you need to know. Truly excellent.
    Aug 23, 2025
    We highly recommend Dr. Moghadam and Austin Fertility Institute. We tried to conceive for years and saw several doctors without success. Then our endocrinologist recommended Dr. Moghadam, and it changed everything for us. From the beginning, Dr. Moghadam was the most candid, knowledgeable, and insightful physician we had ever met. He provided expert care with honesty and clarity, while his entire team created a highly professional and genuinely supportive environment. Thanks to Dr. Moghadam and his team, our first IVF cycle was successful, and we welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby girl in 2022. Two years later, we decided to grow our family and returned to Austin Fertility Institute. After another successful transfer, we welcomed her little sister in 2025. What we appreciated most was the truly personalized care. Dr. Moghadam patiently answered every question, explained each step in detail, and ensured we felt confident and fully supported throughout the process. The entire team was responsive, attentive, and caring, making us feel that we were receiving the best possible care. We will always be grateful to Dr. Moghadam and Austin Fertility Institute for helping us achieve our dream of building a family. If you are looking for a fertility specialist who combines world-class expertise with genuine compassion, Dr. Moghadam is the one.

    I had the best experience at AFI! After becoming pregnant with my second baby, I graduated from Dr. M’s care again, and I will always be grateful that they helped our family grow! After two IVF cycles at another clinic in town, with only one successful transfer out of three, I was not even sure I could have the lively family I dreamed of. At AFI, I had better results in every way: lower hormone doses, more follicles and embryos, and a transfer success rate of one in two! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. M and his entire team.
    Oct 31, 2025
    I wish I could give Dr. M and AFI ten stars! We strongly recommend them. Dr. M is truly an expert. After our recurrent pregnancy losses, he provided exceptional, highly personalized care as we tried to grow our family. He spent countless hours with us, clearly explaining processes and options and patiently answering our many questions. We never felt rushed, and he always listened carefully. He also performed several procedures with remarkable precision and skill. Dr. M's nurses and medical assistants were kind, helpful, and very supportive, making us feel like part of a family, especially during fertility treatment when we spent so much time at the clinic. We are delighted and grateful to have recently graduated from AFI with a successful pregnancy. Dr. M is known as Austin's best fertility doctor for good reason; you cannot go wrong choosing him!
    Nov 18, 2025
    Update November 2025; My original review still stands! Dr. M and his team are incredible. Without them, my husband and I would not have our sons. I will forever be grateful to Austin Fertility Institute for making us parents. Our family is now complete! ❤️❤️ Saying the doctor and team are excellent does not begin to describe them! I cannot wait to continue working with them as we begin our fertility journey!

    We cannot thank this clinic enough. We initially had a consultation and received a quote, but circumstances caused a delay. When we contacted him again nearly a year later, he still honored it even though he did not have to. He was attentive and personally involved throughout the process, which was especially valuable given the unexpected issues that can arise during IVF. The clinic staff were also very kind. We are deeply grateful that his extensive knowledge and experience helped us fulfill our dream of building a family.

    Let us start here. I am giving one star only because Google does not allow negative or zero-star ratings. I am still sitting in my car trying to decide what to do next. I am extremely angry because my cycle for this month is now over. I authorize Austin Fertility Center—the doctor and your team—to take legal action regarding the accusations you have made against me. Please provide your evidence. This conduct is unacceptable. I will return to add more about my experience.
    Feb 22, 2026
    We are deeply grateful for the care AFI has provided so far. Our fertility journey is still ongoing. We remain hopeful and want to document the genuine care and support we have already experienced. Dr. Moghadam is knowledgeable and meticulous. He personally participates in nearly every ultrasound and follow-up, devoting substantial time to explanations, education, and our questions, which is very reassuring. Most impressive is his attention to our individual circumstances. He ordered necessary tests, investigated areas other doctors overlooked, and found a previously missed cause. When needed, he thoughtfully refers us to other specialists, showing that identifying the cause is his priority. The nurses and staff are also wonderful: compassionate, patient, and consistently kind. Familiar faces and the feeling that they know and understand you make each visit reassuring. Continuity among clinicians and staff matters greatly. We are grateful to work with this excellent medical team and highly recommend the clinic.

    I am sharing this experience because I wish someone had warned me beforehand. I left this clinic early in my IVF treatment because I no longer trusted the doctor's medical judgment and did not feel emotionally safe continuing care. During IVF treatment and bleeding in early pregnancy, I experienced a pattern of cold and intimidating communication. My reasonable medical questions were mocked. Instead of having a collaborative discussion with me, they gave me ultimatums. When I requested HCG monitoring during bleeding and after multiple miscarriages, my concerns were initially ignored and dismissed. At one appointment, I was left naked on the exam table with the door to the hallway open. I felt unsafe and violated. I left several conversations with this doctor sobbing. I felt anxious before every appointment and afraid to express myself honestly. A staff member quietly told me that others had experienced similar situations, making me realize I was not the only one. After transferring care, my OB-GYN immediately detected and treated a urinary tract infection during a routine early-pregnancy visit that AFI had missed. During such a medically sensitive time, learning that even something so basic required special vigilance further undermined my trust in the clinic. I also encountered issues with laboratory billing, with vague and inconsistent explanations. Given the already significant financial burden of fertility treatment, this lack of transparency further increased my distrust. Taken together, these experiences left me feeling emotionally abused. I did not feel safe, respected, medically protected, or free from financial pressure in the management of my care. Women deserve trauma-informed, fully transparent fertility care. I do not recommend AFI.
    Apr 15, 2026
    We were fortunate to receive treatment from Dr. Moghadam and his team twice. The first time resulted in twins, and the second in a singleton pregnancy; both experiences went very smoothly. Both were successful, and I am very grateful for his expertise and patience throughout. I would not choose any other fertility clinic. We had the best experience here!

    感谢莫格哈达姆医生和他的团队，让我们的梦想成真！我们备孕很艰难，如果没有他的帮助，我们就无法在十二月迎来我们的小宝贝！

    我无法用言语来表达我对奥斯汀生育研究所 (AFI) 团队的感激之情。他们成功地帮助我的家庭迎来了两个可爱的宝宝……现在我又怀上了第二个。莫格哈达姆医生和他的团队在整个试管婴儿过程中提供了专业的指导、支持和鼓励。我非常感激莫格哈达姆医生始终坚持最佳实践，并以同样的方式指导他的患者。这是一家真正诚实可靠的机构，能够帮助你实现组建家庭的梦想💗 特别感谢莫格哈达姆医生、塔莎、艾米和塔拉，感谢你们改变了我的人生，也祝福了我的家庭。

    多年来，其他医生都告诉我们一切正常，但奥斯汀生育研究所的M医生和团队真正倾听​​了我们的心声，帮助我们找到了问题的症结所在。他们细致入微、关怀备至、体贴周到，无与伦比。我从未遇到过如此充满爱心的团队。我们非常感激他们，以至于从试管婴儿治疗转到妇产科后，我们竟然还有些想念他们！感谢奥斯汀生育研究所，我们拥有了梦寐以求的家庭，我感到无比幸福。强烈推荐这个优秀的团队！

    昨天与肯尼斯·K·莫格哈达姆医生通话后，我泪流满面。 我特意选择这家诊所进行远程监测，因为他们在电话里口头向我保证，他们可以进行紧急生育实验室检查。 2026年5月8日星期五早上7:30左右，诊所的电话线路没有像预期那样开通。药剂师玛丽后来告诉我，她上班迟到了，诊所人手不足。 整个上午，我提交实验室检查申请都遇到了很大的困难。有一次，他们指示我让诊所把FSH和LH作为非紧急检查项目提交，考虑到生育监测的时效性，这显然是不合适的。 之后，他们又指示我让诊所重新提交一份修改后的申请单，其中不包括诊所显然不做的检查项目，例如AMH、TSH、T3、T4和定量hCG。对于一家提供生育监测服务的诊所来说，我对此感到非常惊讶。 即使在这些更正之后，我仍然需要打第四通电话，仅仅是为了确认诊所是否已备齐我5月11日星期一早上8点预约所需的一切物品。那天是月经周期第一天监测的关键时间窗口。 在此期间，莫格哈达姆医生态度极其傲慢，斥责我在八小时内给诊所打了四次电话，并声称我“不是他唯一的病人”。他还多次威胁要联系中纽约生育中心，并反复扬言要取消我的病人资格。 通话结束时，莫格哈达姆医生对我破口大骂，发出威胁，并以恐吓和轻蔑的语气与我交谈。当我礼貌地请他耐心一些时，他却厉声说道：“耐心？！我们没必要谈这个……” 通话结束时，我感到自己受到了彻底的侵犯和羞辱。任何病人——尤其是正在接受生育治疗的病人——都不应该受到这样的对待。 鉴于此次经历，我将不再在该诊所接受治疗。我坚信莫格哈达姆医生的行为不当，与医疗保健领域，特别是女性医疗保健和生育相关服务领域，患者应享有的专业精神和人文关怀严重不符。

    I was in tears after speaking with Dr. Kenneth K. Moghaddam yesterday. I specifically chose this clinic for remote monitoring because they verbally assured me by phone that they could perform urgent fertility laboratory tests. At around 7:30 a.m. on Friday, May 8, 2026, the clinic’s phone lines did not open as expected. Pharmacist Mary later told me she had arrived late and that the clinic was understaffed. Throughout the morning, I had great difficulty submitting the laboratory order. At one point, they instructed me to have my clinic submit FSH and LH as nonurgent tests, which was clearly inappropriate given the time-sensitive nature of fertility monitoring. They then told me to have my clinic resubmit a revised order that excluded tests the clinic apparently does not perform, including AMH, TSH, T3, T4, and quantitative hCG. I found this very surprising for a clinic that provides fertility monitoring. Even after these corrections, I still had to make a fourth call simply to confirm that the clinic had everything needed for my appointment at 8 a.m. on Monday, May 11. This was a critical monitoring window on the first day of my menstrual cycle. During this process, Dr. Moghaddam was extremely arrogant. He reprimanded me for calling the clinic four times within eight hours and stated that I was “not his only patient.” He also repeatedly threatened to contact CNY Fertility and repeatedly threatened to dismiss me as a patient. By the end of the call, Dr. Moghaddam was yelling and making threats, speaking to me in an intimidating and contemptuous manner. When I politely asked him to be patient, he snapped, “Patient?! We don’t need to discuss that...” I ended the call feeling completely violated and humiliated. No patient—especially one undergoing fertility treatment—should be treated this way. Because of this experience, I will no longer receive care at this clinic. I firmly believe Dr. Moghaddam’s conduct was inappropriate and seriously inconsistent with the professionalism and compassion patients deserve in healthcare, particularly women’s health and fertility services.
    May 12, 2026
    For years, other doctors told us everything was normal, but Dr. M and the team at Austin Fertility Institute truly listened and helped us identify the underlying problem. Their attention to detail, care, and thoughtfulness are unmatched. I have never met such a compassionate team. We appreciated them so much that we actually missed them after moving from IVF care to our OB/GYN! Thanks to Austin Fertility Institute, we have the family we dreamed of and feel incredibly blessed. I highly recommend this excellent team!

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to the team at Austin Fertility Institute (AFI). They successfully helped my family welcome two beautiful babies, and I am now pregnant with our second. Dr. Moghaddam and his team provided professional guidance, support, and encouragement throughout IVF. I am very grateful that Dr. Moghaddam consistently follows best practices and guides his patients accordingly. This is a truly honest and trustworthy practice that can help you realize your dream of building a family 💗 Special thanks to Dr. Moghaddam, Tasha, Amy, and Tara for changing my life and blessing my family.

    Thank you to Dr. Moghaddam and his team for making our dream come true! We struggled to conceive, and without his help, we would not have welcomed our little one in December!

    A few years ago, before my son was born, I went to the Austin Fertility Institute for testing to see whether there were any fertility issues before trying to conceive. Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. M was one of the most disappointing medical experiences I have ever had. He was cold and rude, not only to me but also to my partner. During an already vulnerable time, I felt like nothing more than a number—or worse, merely a source of income for him. I left feeling unheard, unvalued, and very angry. He even told us to go elsewhere if we continued discussing the discount he had offered. Later, when I became pregnant and wanted to take a photo of the fetus/yolk sac, Dr. M yelled at me: “You can't take pictures in someone else's facility without permission. That's unacceptable—are you crazy?” I did not know the rules at the time and had never been to a fertility clinic; he could have been kinder. He rolled his eyes, had a terrible attitude, and seemed impatient whenever I spoke. I knew I could no longer waste my money on a fertility doctor who became irritated by every question. We should have just looked online. Only three visits left such a strong impression that afterward I chose only female doctors for reproductive healthcare. I have moved past the experience, but I want to share it so others know to look for compassionate doctors who genuinely care about their health, their journey, and their peace of mind.

    Update November 2025; My original review still stands! Dr. M and his team are amazing. Without them, my husband and I would not have our sons. I will always be grateful to Austin Fertility Institute for making us parents. Our family is now complete! ❤️❤️ Saying the doctor and team are exceptional is an understatement! I cannot wait to continue working with them and begin our fertility journey!

    I wish I could give Dr. M and AFI ten stars! We highly recommend them. Dr. M is truly an expert. After our recurrent pregnancy losses, he provided exceptional, highly personalized care as we tried to grow our family. Dr. M spent countless hours with us, clearly explaining procedures and options and patiently answering our many questions. We never felt rushed, and he always listened. He also performed several procedures with extraordinary precision and skill. Dr. M’s nurses and medical assistants were kind, helpful, and very supportive, making us feel like part of a family, especially since fertility treatment meant spending so much time at the clinic! We are thrilled and grateful to have recently graduated from AFI with a successful pregnancy. Dr. M is known as Austin’s best fertility doctor for good reason—you cannot go wrong choosing him!

    We highly recommend Dr. Moghadam and Austin Fertility Institute. After years of trying to conceive and seeing several doctors without success, our endocrinologist referred us to Dr. Moghadam, which changed everything. From the beginning, Dr. Moghadam was the most honest, knowledgeable, and insightful doctor we had met. He provided expert care with honesty and clarity, while his entire team created a highly professional and genuinely supportive environment. Thanks to Dr. Moghadam and his team, our first IVF cycle succeeded, and we welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby girl in 2022. Two years later, we returned to Austin Fertility Institute to expand our family, and after another successful transfer, we welcomed her little sister in 2025. We are especially grateful for the truly personalized care. Dr. Moghadam patiently answered every question, explained each step in detail, and ensured we felt confident and fully supported throughout. The entire team was responsive, attentive, and compassionate, making us feel we were receiving the best possible care. We will always be grateful to Dr. Moghadam and Austin Fertility Institute for helping us realize our dream of a family. If you want a fertility specialist who combines world-class expertise with genuine care, Dr. Moghadam is an excellent choice.

    I had the best experience w AFI! Graduated once again from Dr Ms w my second baby & I will forever be grateful for being able to grow our family! After doing 2 rounds of IVF at a different clinic in town and only having a 1/3 success rate w transfer I wasn’t sure if I would ever get my chaotic loud family that I dreamed of. I got MUCH better results w AFI on all levels: lower levels of hormones used, higher follicle and embryo yield and 2/2 transfer success rate! Cannot say enough good things about Dr M and his entire staff.

    I waited more than a year before reflecting on the treatment I received. Pros: Dr. M is knowledgeable and communicates treatment processes and options well. You may need some familiarity with medical terminology to understand the discussions and treatment plans. The staff are also well trained and knowledgeable. Cons: His bedside manner left me feeling hurt and seemed intended to make me feel small. This was not a side effect—it was the goal. The worst part? Watching me struggle seemed to make him feel powerful.

    In 2023, another fertility specialist told us we would never be able to have children. On July 1, 2025, we welcomed adorable twins. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Moghadam. We are sincerely grateful for everything he did. We highly recommend him and have referred several friends who are investigating their own fertility concerns.

    Updated Review—Our Complete Journey Now that our fertility journey is complete, I want to share a fuller account of our experience with Dr. M and his clinic. First, I acknowledge that Dr. M is a highly skilled physician. From the beginning, he was very candid about our treatment options and created a clear plan based on my diagnosis and insurance coverage. We completed one IVF cycle and froze two viable embryos. At the time, we hoped to have two children, and Dr. M presented two options: complete a second IVF cycle, possibly paying out of pocket and submitting a claim for reimbursement, or try intrauterine insemination (IUI). Although I was initially skeptical about IUI, especially given our previous experience, Dr. M encouraged us to consider it—and thankfully, it worked after two cycles. Although we are deeply grateful that we ultimately achieved our goal of becoming parents, I also want to be candid about the challenges we faced. Dr. M's bedside manner was very disappointing. While I believe this field requires compassion—and he does show some—I would not describe the overall patient experience he provides as warm or compassionate. At 8 weeks pregnant, I went through an especially difficult period when I experienced heavy bleeding. Unable to reach the clinic during business hours, I texted the emergency number Dr. M had provided. He replied, "This is an inappropriate use of the cell phone. My staff will call you back." When I was seen at the clinic, he told me in a very dismissive tone, "Your baby is fine, just as I thought," without showing any empathy for the deeply distressing situation. Nine months later, we welcomed a healthy baby boy. After a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, we felt our family was complete. Because the clinic still had two frozen embryos, I contacted them to ask about other options. Unfortunately, getting a clear answer from the appropriate staff was frustrating and confusing. I had to work very hard to obtain any concrete information. Eventually, I spoke with Natasha at the front desk, who was always kind, helpful, and compassionate and deserves special recognition. After that conversation, Dr. M called me directly. Rather than addressing my concerns or acknowledging the poor communication, he defended his staff, emphasized their ability to work from home, and noted the clinic's strong overall performance. He implied that the issue may have been how I asked my questions rather than the quality of the responses. Ultimately, we retrieved our embryos from the laboratory, whose staff were professional and kind throughout the process. In summary, although I am very grateful to Dr. M for helping us become parents, I cannot overlook the emotional impact of an experience that often felt transactional and lacking in compassion. If your insurance allows you to choose a clinic where you can receive more empathetic and supportive care, I encourage you to explore your options.

    My wife and I had a very positive experience working with Dr. Moghadam and his team at Austin Fertility Institute. We chose reciprocal IVF, and from the beginning Dr. Moghadam was highly respectful of and knowledgeable about our path to parenthood. I had long suffered from painful periods, and Dr. Moghadam was the first physician to correctly diagnose my endometriosis. He referred me to an excellent surgeon for a myomectomy, which laid the foundation for a successful transfer. I recovered well after surgery, and we had a healthy baby after our first embryo transfer. When we decided to grow our family, we returned to Austin Fertility Institute. After another successful embryo transfer, we are expecting our second baby in November. The care felt truly personalized. Dr. Moghadam always answered our questions patiently and guided us through every step. Although wait times were sometimes long, it was because he gave each patient the time and attention they needed, which we greatly appreciated. His staff were also very kind and helpful. They were especially understanding of my fear of needles and helped me become accustomed to regular blood draws, making them easier to tolerate. Fertility treatment can be overwhelming, but having a respectful, compassionate, and caring team makes all the difference. We are deeply grateful to Austin Fertility Institute for helping us build our family.

    Highly recommend AFI and Dr. M! After years of trying to conceive with several different doctors and clinics (mostly due to us moving cities) and trying varying levels of treatments with no success, we found Dr. M to be the most straightforward and informative doctor we saw. He was able to explain new things that other doctors hadn’t, was upfront about IVF being the right option for us without being pushy, and explained why the other treatments we’d had didn’t work. Dr. M and his amazing staff were professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. We were lucky to have success on our first round of IVF and just celebrated our baby’s first birthday. The AFI team is great and we will definitely return when we’re ready to add to our family.

    Words cannot express how grateful we are to Dr. M and his staff! First, he is very direct and honest, exactly what you want during a fertility journey. I appreciate that he does not avoid any issue and presents all the facts about your particular journey up front. His knowledge and concern for patients show how passionate he is about his work. My husband and I had tried to have a child for 6 years and were close to giving up when we met Dr. M. We were very calm about it, which may have puzzled him, but he took us seriously and suggested trying IUI first while leaving the decision to us. Based on the statistics we received, we chose IUI, but it did not work, which was not AFI's fault. Dr. M gave us the success rate for another IUI and said IVF would offer our best chance given my age. Again, he left the decision to us. We chose IVF because I felt my husband and I were running out of time to start a family. My first IVF cycle and embryo transfer worked. Nine months later, I delivered our healthy baby boy. It was a dream come true. When our son was one, we contacted Dr. M again for another embryo transfer. My second transfer also worked, and we are now about to welcome our baby girl. I am extremely grateful that Dr. M took us seriously and helped us build the family we have today. His factual approach and Chicago Bears conversations certainly helped us feel at ease. I must also mention his excellent staff. Thank you to Dr. M and his wonderful team, from the front desk to his assistant, nurses, and laboratory, for everything they did for us. I will always recommend AFI!

    I would absolutely recommend Dr. Moghadam to anyone in the area needing fertility support. I never felt uncertain about my treatment. He and the nurses explained the protocols, and the surgical center staff were also very kind and professional. He is the only specialist in his practice, so I did not feel that I had many interim appointments before seeing the doctor. However, please understand that this can mean reasonable wait times and a need to keep appointments. Depending on your work, you may need to plan ahead. He helped us find a path to parenthood, and we are expecting a baby this summer. If we still lived in the area, we would plan to see him again!
