    Dr. Collins is an excellent physician to work with while going through infertility. He was very supportive and always answered all our questions. Not only Dr. Collins, but everyone working here is wonderful. They made my husband and me feel supported and heard! After our successful IUI, we cannot wait to bring our adorable baby back to meet the people who helped make it possible! 🩷 If you are looking for the right place to help complete your family, I promise this is it!

    My husband and I are deeply grateful to Dr. Saleh, Dr. Collins, and their incredible team. After 7 years of struggling with infertility, we are now pregnant, all thanks to their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care. From our first visit, Dr. Saleh and his team made us feel comfortable, listened to our concerns, and provided a clear plan tailored to our needs. Nurse Lisa cared and answered every question, and we will always be grateful for all her guidance. At age 34, I lost one ovary because of a complex ovarian cyst, leaving me with one ovary that also had a persistent cyst. I am now 41, and although the process felt difficult, their compassion and attention to detail truly set them apart. At every step, we felt supported and reassured, knowing we were in the hands of professionals who genuinely care about their patients. Trust the process and stay positive! Thanks to Dr. Saleh, our dream of building a family has finally come true, and we are incredibly grateful. If you are looking for a team that combines medical expertise with warmth and kindness, I highly recommend Dr. Saleh and his team. They changed our lives, and we will always be grateful!

    Dr. Saleh, Dr. Collin, and the entire team are wonderful! Our case was difficult. We underwent multiple Clomid cycles, IUIs, and even 3 embryo transfers without success. I did not become pregnant after the first embryo transfer. The next two transfers ended in biochemical pregnancies. After the second transfer, Dr. Saleh called us into his office. He reviewed my chart and tried to identify the problem. I spent one cycle undergoing hysteroscopy and NK cell testing, and another cycle having an endometrial biopsy. I tested positive for endometriosis and received leuprolide treatment for several months. My first transfer after leuprolide resulted in another biochemical pregnancy. Dr. Saleh called us into his office, and we discussed several options for proceeding. We decided to try another transfer using the same medication, and I finally became pregnant! When we received the news, we were thrilled, and it was clear that Dr. Saleh and the staff shared our joy. Our infertility journey was emotionally exhausting, but we were fortunate to have an excellent medical team supporting us. Dr. Saleh is knowledgeable and experienced and takes excellent care of his patients. We highly recommend Dr. Saleh's office to anyone struggling to have a child.

    Dr. Saleh and Maria, our nurse, were excellent throughout the process. I highly recommend CRE to anyone interested in exploring IVF.

    The worst service I have ever experienced. I would never recommend C.R.E to anyone 😔

    An update to my previous review! The pregnancy went smoothly, we welcomed our perfect baby two days ago, and we were discharged today. Bringing a baby home was my dream, and I did not know it would be possible, but Dr. Saleh and his team made it happen! Their office is wonderful and responsive. They have a state-of-the-art laboratory, where we still have 13 frozen embryos, and everyone from the nurses to the embryologists is highly experienced. Dr. Saleh even kept me under his care until I was 8 weeks pregnant and able to see an obstetrician. Highly, highly recommend. Hang in there, and good luck! 💗

    I had a wonderful experience at CRE. Dr. Saleh is one of the best doctors I have ever met. My OB-GYN recommended another doctor, but when I happened across Dr. Walid Saleh online, I had an undeniable feeling that he was the right choice for my fertility treatment. It felt like divine intervention, as though God were giving me a sign that he was the person I should trust. I was absolutely right! I became pregnant after my first transfer. Dr. Saleh is an outstanding doctor, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking fertility treatment. His nurses, Lisa and Alyssa, are also very capable and helpful. Because I experienced a miscarriage before fertility treatment, I had severe anxiety. However, my nurse Lisa consistently comforted and reassured me, helping ease my worries. Thank you, Lisa! You are the best!

    I am extremely grateful to Dr. Saleh and Nurse Lisa for helping me through my pregnancy. They were both very supportive and knowledgeable, and I always felt that I was receiving excellent care. Dr. Saleh was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns, while Lisa was always very helpful and kind. I highly recommend C.R.E to anyone having difficulty becoming pregnant.

    I struggled with infertility for 10 years. I saw different doctors, but Dr. Saleh was the only one who offered support, which you need along with positive energy when you are struggling. Although my case was complicated, he never told me to give up. He supported my decision to keep trying, and thank God I am now pregnant with my miracle baby. I cannot thank Dr. Saleh, the staff, and the nurses enough.

    Dr. Saleh and my nurse Maria were both wonderful. All the staff were friendly and always tried to help with scheduling. Dr. Saleh was the fourth RE doctor I consulted and the third doctor with whom I had an embryo transfer. I moved my remaining embryos to CRE and had my fifth frozen transfer overall, my first with Dr. Saleh, and so far it has been successful. For this transfer, I also had intralipid infusions with Dr. Saleh, and perhaps that was what I needed! I graduated from the clinic yesterday and saw/heard a heartbeat for the first time! This is the farthest I have progressed in a pregnancy, and I do not think I would be here without Dr. Saleh. I would recommend Dr. Saleh to everyone! He is amazing and compassionate. I am so glad I chose to change clinics and move to CRE. It was the best decision I could have made!

    Dr. Collins and the entire CRE team were exceptional throughout our fertility journey. From the first consultation, Dr. Collins was knowledgeable, compassionate, and helpful. He took the time to listen to all our concerns, thoroughly explained every step of the process, and always made us feel heard and reassured. One of the most notable things was his responsiveness—he replied to emails quickly and made sure we never felt lost or uncertain. The entire CRE staff were equally outstanding, providing first-rate care with kindness and professionalism. Thanks to Dr. Collins and his team, we are now expecting our baby girl, and we could not be more grateful! If you are looking for a fertility specialist who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about your journey, I strongly recommend Dr. Collins and CRE. They truly go above and beyond for their patients.

    My husband and I went to Dr. Saleh for help conceiving. He and his team were wonderful. We are now pregnant and grateful for the experience.

    Dr. Saleh and his team made my experience at the IVF center very smooth. They were always available to answer my questions by phone or email, and I appreciated having a dedicated nurse at every visit. The entire process was clear, and I am very pleased with the outcome.
    Jul 1, 2025
    I truly enjoyed my experience at CRE. Everyone, from the front desk staff and nurses to Dr. Collins, was warm, friendly, and helpful. I left every visit feeling that all my questions had been answered. Dr. Collins helped my husband and me complete our family. We just welcomed our lovely daughter, and we truly could not have done it without the CRE team's support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

    After two failed emergency treatments at another clinic, a colleague recommended Dr. Collins. From our first appointment, we felt his care, and he always tried to identify the cause of the problem. He changed our treatment plan, and we immediately saw better results. We had two egg retrievals and three hysterosalpingograms. Although only one resulted in a successful pregnancy, we still consider him the best doctor. He always listened closely to our concerns, guided us, and discussed the next options. His team was also excellent, especially the nurse who was always ready to answer clinical and financial questions. We recommend Dr. Collins and his team and will always be grateful that they supported us throughout the journey!

    I just had a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) with Dr. Saleh, and he was wonderful! He made the entire process very smooth and put me at ease. I truly appreciate how he helped me through it, especially when I felt I could not continue. They also offered nitrous oxide, which was very helpful. If you feel anxious about this procedure, do not hesitate to use it—it made a major difference for me.

    Dr. Collins is simply the best. My journey was not easy, but he did everything possible to help. He answered all my questions carefully and provided relevant research papers. I am anxious by nature, but he truly calmed me, and I never felt rushed during countless appointments. I would not wish infertility on anyone, but Dr. Collins made it easier to navigate. I am happy to write this with my newborn in my arms. Thank you, Dr. Collins and the wonderful CRE team!
    Aug 29, 2025
    Dr. Stephen Collins, nurse Maria, and the entire care team were attentive, knowledgeable, and courteous. We were very fortunate to have their support throughout the process. Today I am 20 weeks pregnant, a milestone my husband and I never imagined we would reach. Thank you so much for giving us hope. We highly recommend this team!
    Aug 27, 2025
    Dr. Collins is amazing! He truly cares about his patients, and his smile and confidence will give you confidence throughout your IVF journey! We were fortunate to find such an excellent doctor to guide us successfully through IVF. We now have a healthy 2-month-old daughter!
    Aug 26, 2025
    I had a wonderful experience at the IVF Center. Dr. Saleh and his team were very supportive throughout the process. The guidance from private nurse Maria Kindley was extremely helpful, and communication by phone and email was smooth. I am happy to say that the treatment was successful!
    Aug 14, 2025
    I cannot speak highly enough of this clinic and Dr. Collins. I experienced infertility for 7 years and visited 3 clinics, but none compared with this one. Nothing is worse than spending a great deal of money only to enter a clinic that makes you feel like a number or less than others. CRE never made us feel that way and far exceeded our expectations. From the receptionist and clinical staff to the nurses and Dr. Collins, everyone made us feel welcome and comfortable. Dr. Collins carefully listened to and understood our condition and was willing to perform additional testing before further treatment, which proved crucial to our journey. I am now 16 weeks pregnant. Thank you so much to Dr. Collins, Lisa, and the team!
    Aug 14, 2025
    I had a wonderful experience at the IVF Center. The staff were very helpful, communicated well, and explained everything clearly. I appreciated seeing the same nurse and doctor each time. And I am finally pregnant! Overall, I am very pleased with how everything turned out.

    After 6 years of trying to conceive, 3 failed IUIs, and one failed IVF cycle at another clinic, I am now nearly 8 weeks pregnant after my first embryo transfer at CRE Fertility. I still cannot believe it is real! The care from Dr. Saleh, the nurses, and the entire CRE team has made this an amazing experience. From the beginning, we knew we were in good hands. Just one week ago, we heard our baby's heartbeat with Dr. Saleh before graduating from the clinic. 100000/10—we will return for all our future babies, haha. This clinic changed our lives and gave us what we had dreamed of for years. I cannot thank them enough!! I also want to mention that the clinic told us Dr. Collins would perform our embryo transfer if our July cycle proceeded, because Dr. Saleh would be unavailable. They informed us in advance, and that is exactly what happened—no concerns! We did not mind. In fact, both Dr. Saleh and Dr. Collins helped make this dream come true, which we think is very special :)
    Sep 16, 2025
    We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Saleh at CRE. All the staff and nurses were very helpful and responded promptly by email and phone. Our nurse, Alyssa, was also very helpful and answered all our questions throughout the process. Best of all, after graduating from the clinic we had a long wait before seeing an obstetrician, and both Dr. Saleh and Alyssa arranged additional checkups and answered many questions.
    Oct 17, 2025
    I love Dr. Saleh and his team! I highly recommend them to everyone!

    Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Saleh and the entire staff at Dallas CRE. From day one, he made me feel valued and cared for rather than like one of many patients at a busy fertility clinic. He explains things clearly, listens patiently, and has a confident yet compassionate manner that immediately puts you at ease. I always felt that my safety and well-being were their highest priorities. The clinic's medical care is outstanding, and I sincerely thank Dr. Saleh for guiding me through my fertility journey.

    I highly recommend Dr. Saleh and the entire CRE staff. After years of secondary infertility, we had nearly lost hope until we met Dr. Saleh. At our initial consultation, we immediately felt reassured, and he understood our situation more thoroughly than any doctor we had consulted over the previous two years. We soon began IVF. We live in a small town about six hours from the clinic, but they went above and beyond to make all our treatment possible. My nurse Alyssa was outstanding throughout and patiently answered all my questions. Every staff member was kind, supportive, and helpful, making every interaction a positive one. We will always be grateful to Dr. Saleh and the entire CRE team. They helped us realize our dream of starting a family.

    I had a wonderful experience at the IVF center in Dallas! Dr. Saleh and the entire team were extremely supportive and caring throughout the process. They made everything feel personal and comfortable. The staff were always available by phone or email to answer my questions. I am delighted to share that it worked—I am pregnant!

    I am incredibly grateful to have been under the care of Dr. Walid and their team. From the very beginning, I felt listened to, supported, and treated with compassion. IVF is an emotional and stressful journey, but they consistently took the time to explain each step clearly, answer all my questions, and reassure me when anxiety crept in. Their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the process. Nurse Alyssa and office staff were also kind, responsive, and truly caring — which makes such a difference during frequent visits and procedures. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I am now carrying my baby, and I will always be thankful for the role they played in helping us achieve this dream. I would highly recommend this doctor and clinic to anyone considering fertility treatment.

    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. He perfectly tailored my protocol and we have graduated from the clinic! :) Having a personal nurse (special mention Alyssa and Lisa) at each visit was reassuring, and they were always available for questions. A big shout out to the Front office staff as well, very well organized and accommodating. - Hema

    We were very fortunate to receive care from Dr. Saleh and his team. He is highly knowledgeable, calm, and reassuring, and always explains everything patiently and thoroughly. It is clear that he genuinely cares about his patients and their outcomes. We also want to give special thanks to our registered nurse, Lisa. Lisa was outstanding and played a vital role in supporting us throughout the process. She was compassionate, responsive, and always patiently answered our questions, making sure we never felt lost or overwhelmed. Her organization and consistent reassurance made an otherwise stressful process much easier. She always went above and beyond, and we are deeply grateful. We are incredibly thankful for the care provided by Dr. Saleh, Lisa, and the entire team. We highly recommend this clinic to anyone on a fertility journey!

    My husband and I came to CRE after trying to conceive for five years. Honestly, after eight rounds of Clomid, two rounds of intrauterine insemination, serious mental health struggles, and a terrible experience at a fertility clinic in California, we just wanted to finish this process and move on with our lives. We certainly did not expect IVF to work, let alone on the first transfer. I credit the entire CRE staff. Dr. Saleh personally participated in every examination and treatment. At the California clinic, I never knew which doctor or nurse I would see that day. Dr. Saleh was warm and thoughtful. Although he can sometimes be direct, he was always honest with us. My nurse, Alyssa, was always available by phone or email and made us feel as though we had personalized concierge care. All the other staff, including nurses, accounting staff, and front desk staff, were also kind and professional. The CRE team is truly amazing. They gave us hope, something I feel we had been missing for a long time. Our daughter is due in August. We are finally going to meet her.
    Mar 16, 2026
    After two heartbreaking failed IVF cycles at another clinic, we were physically and emotionally exhausted and wondered whether our dream could ever come true. Choosing this clinic was the best decision we made. From the first appointment, Dr. Collins and his team showed tremendous compassion, patience, and unwavering support. From our first conversation with Dr. Collins, we felt at home and knew we were in the right place. His understanding, encouragement, and empathy meant so much. He took time to reassess our case, adjust the treatment plan, and explain every step clearly, restoring our hope and confidence. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, our third IVF cycle succeeded, and we now have a beautiful three-month-old daughter. Words cannot describe the joy she brings us. Dr. Collins, the nurses, and the entire team were not only highly skilled, but also gave us extraordinary care and encouragement during our most difficult moments. From the first consultation to the final positive pregnancy test, the staff were consistently compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive. On graduation day, I told Dr. Collins that even if the result had been negative, I would still have been satisfied because of the excellent medical care he provided. He is truly a blessing to couples longing for a child. We will always be grateful for his professionalism, empathy, and dedication to helping families achieve their dreams. If you feel discouraged after repeated failed attempts, do not lose hope—this team truly works miracles. We will forever appreciate their exceptional care and wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone considering IVF. They truly change lives.

    I am 40, have polycystic ovary syndrome, and had never been pregnant. I thought I would never conceive until Dr. Saleh changed everything. I will always be grateful to him because I am now 7 weeks pregnant, and my baby girl is doing well!
    Apr 1, 2026
    Definitely the best IVF clinic. This was our second IVF cycle and, like the first, it was very successful. Dr. Saleh and his team are wonderful, and we had a successful vaginal delivery. Highly recommended!
    Mar 26, 2026
    I was previously treated at another clinic before transferring to Dr. Collins. In my experience, CRE is far better than other clinics. It is organized, efficient, and responsive. I am sincerely grateful to them.
    May 1, 2026
    Dr. Saleh and his team are amazing. From start to finish, I felt supported, well informed, and genuinely cared for. Thanks to his expertise, my first embryo transfer was successful, and I am now holding my healthy, beautiful baby. I will always be grateful to him and highly recommend him.
    Apr 25, 2026
    Dr. Saleh and his team are wonderful. We chose this clinic after a poor experience at another fertility center. They cared for us from out of state both times, with remarkable professionalism and excellent communication. Thanks to this clinic, we now have two beautiful daughters. I highly recommend it, even to those who do not live in the Dallas area.
    Apr 15, 2026
    I had a wonderful experience at the IVF center in Dallas. I underwent IVF and an HSG, and I am delighted to share that I became pregnant under Dr. Saleh's care! The process was very smooth, communication was excellent, and I give it 5/5. The staff were extremely supportive and made everything much easier. They always answered my questions by phone or email. A dedicated nurse attended every visit, making the experience feel personal and reassuring. Overall, I am very satisfied and would recommend this center, especially Dr. Saleh, to everyone!
    Apr 15, 2026
    I had an excellent IVF experience at this center. Dr. Saleh is highly skilled, and I also appreciated the clear, transparent pricing. The staff were attentive and easy to reach by phone or email. A dedicated nurse attended every visit, making the entire process feel personalized. The advanced facilities and comprehensive care in one location made everything easy and convenient. I am very satisfied with the treatment I received.

    I highly recommend CRE. This was the third clinic I visited in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and Dr. Collins is by far the best. He spends a great deal of time with patients at every visit and truly remembers each person's specific circumstances. He personally performs all examinations and consultations, fully considers the patient's preferences when developing treatment plans and making decisions, and is very respectful of our religious beliefs and how they affect treatment choices. He makes patients feel in control of the process while supported by the very best team. He is extremely knowledgeable and stays current with the latest research. Everyone I know who has seen him has succeeded, including me; I gave birth to my baby through CRE last month! We were also very impressed with the financial and embryology teams. They answer questions and emails quickly and are helpful and friendly. Jenny even joined a call with my insurance company and spent two hours after work helping us resolve a coverage issue. We previously had some trouble reaching a nurse, but as far as I know she no longer works at CRE, so I can confidently say that everyone I worked with who is still there is wonderful. I would absolutely recommend this clinic to every friend struggling with infertility!
    May 30, 2026
    We have only the highest praise for Dr. Collins and the CRE team. Their professionalism impressed us from the beginning. All testing was scheduled very quickly, and an on-call nurse was always available to answer our questions. Dr. Collins is the most attentive and thoughtful doctor I have ever met; he will make you wish he could be your OB-GYN throughout pregnancy! We ultimately had two egg retrievals and became pregnant after our first embryo transfer. I am holding our 6-day-old baby right now.
    May 28, 2026
    Terrible! They prescribed an estradiol dose higher than my measured AMH level. I was treated exactly like every other patient. Both the medical and financial sides were a mess. I did not want to write this review, but I felt people needed to be warned.
    May 16, 2026
    Everyone at CRE is passionate about fertility care!!! We are so glad we chose them. Every CRE staff member is caring and does everything possible to help patients achieve their dreams. They represent everything good in the world. Dr. Saleh is amazing!!! The nurses and all the staff are incredible!!!! This genuinely surprised me because I must emphasize that every person involved in our IVF treatment was wonderful. From the valet, receptionist, billing department, nurses, and embryologists to the doctors, and I hope I have not left anyone out, they earned our highest respect and praise. We will always be grateful to them. They are truly the best in the world!!!
