Describe your experience with Sher Fertility of Texas.
I think SHER DALLAS is the best clinic you'd be lucky to find. I feel some of the clinics strengths are that they know what they're talking about! They are knowledgeable on current procedures and know your concerns before you ask. They are abreast of a wealth of information and everyone is very kind.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Walid Saleh at Sher Fertility of Texas?
Dr. Saleh is the 3rd and best Doctor I've seen over these 6 years of unexplained infertility , then an warly menopause diagnosis and all the emotions and heartache woven into all that, this office has shown more care and understanding and genuine help than the others by far
Describe your experience with your nurse at Sher Fertility of Texas. (Assigned nurse: Heather Jackson )
Very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Very understanding and really on top of everything and can answer all of my panicky questions! Very nice to be with this team
How was your experience with Walid Saleh at Sher Fertility of Texas?
Dr. Saleh is kind, insightful, knowledgeable, respectful and he gives you hope... hope is the most important thing in this process. Dr. Saleh has shown me that compassion is not an unattainable expectation and he treats me like a person and not a check list
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Walid Saleh at Sher Fertility of Texas?
Be open. Dr. Saleh has great advice and a kind tone. He believes un possibilities and, in a situation such as infertility where it can be a long, hard road, he allows you to see the light at the end of, what could be, a very long tunnel.
Describe the protocols Walid Saleh used in your cycles at Sher Fertility of Texas and their degree of success.
Dr. Saleh is our 3rd Infertility Specialist and the tests have shown that we will need an egg donor, so we're still at the beginning stages of this particular journey. She has gone for basic and genetic testing and our next steps are meds and retrieval.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Walid Saleh at Sher Fertility of Texas.
I think Fertility treatments are extremely overpriced and unattainable for most who desperately want it, so with that being considered, it is as affordable as it can be and they're great about billing in a way that's convenient for both parties
Describe Walid Saleh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Sher Fertility of Texas.
Yes, I was told that, with my particular situation, we would mist likely opt for multiple (2) embryo transfer

How was your experience with Walid Saleh at Sher Fertility of Texas?
We decided to see Dr Saleh after recommendations from several friends. The RE we had been seeing prior to Dr Saleh was not always available and I felt like a number in their practice. Dr Saleh is an excellent doctor - he listens, is always available for questions. Dr Saleh does all ultrasounds and procedures himself vs having sonographers and nurses - I really feel this helps with the quality of care and providing the best protocol. We are so pleased with Dr Saleh - we are in the middle of our first IVF cycle and are optmistic that we will have a baby.

We are in the middle of our first IVF cycle. I am 40 and have been trying to get pregnant for several years. Dr Saleh suspected I have an egg quality issue.

Competent and quickly responded by email to my questions. I just wish they were more personable.
How was your experience with Walid Saleh at Sher Fertility of Texas?

Describe the protocols Walid Saleh used in your cycles at Sher Fertility of Texas and their degree of success.
My protocol began 1 month prior to retrieval. The first five days, I took a prenatal, BCP, and baby aspirin. The next week, I added Lupron for 5 days and 5 units the last 2. No BCP for last 2 days also. For the next 4 days I added Cetrotide and had a baseline ultrasound and E2. The following 6 days, I added Estrace. The next 3 days I took Lovenox, prednisone and Gonal-F. The next 6 days I continued previous medications adding in Menopur. Day before retrieval, I only continued prednisone, prenatal, Cetrotide, and HCG. Retrieval day, I took prednisone, prenatal, E2V, and antibiotic. I also did acupuncture 3 months before retrieval and before retrieval and transfer. The goal was to allow me to produce as many quality eggs for my age group.
