The clinic [Fort Worth Fertility] is a nice space and welcoming environment. The staff is nice and they take you back quickly. Test were done quickly.

You find out at the next appointment...The first person I talked to that went overs the forms and got things ready for the doctor was very friendly and nice. The others helped with procedures where there wasn’t a time for much interaction. They did there jobs efficiently...

Describe the protocols Biren Patel used in your cycles at Fort Worth Fertility and their degree of success.
We have only done testing so far. The next step is a medicated IUI cycle. He says most women are able to get pregnant this way. If my tubes are open and have good egg reserve then this is what we should try. He thinks this will work for me. I was glad he didn’t suggest going right to IVF.

Review of
Dr. Patel was kind and easy to talk to. My only concern was whether or not he really took a close look at my personal circumstance. It felt like I was treated like a patient with "unexplained" fertility with some male factor issues, when I actually should have been treated as a patient with DOR. My AMH level was never explained to me throughout the process of doing 3 IUI procedures.
This clinic will allow up to 2 embryos to be transferred at a time...Its strength is its location- central Fort Worth was convenient for me...I never had the same nurse..Weakness would be scheduling availability, front desk/billing department organization and it's a little on the higher end of pricing...About $1,200 for each IUI plus the cost of medication.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Biren Patel at Fort Worth Fertility?
Ask to see your bloodwork results and then dig into them and ask questions about them. Stay on top of the front office to get answers about billing and scheduling appointments.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Biren Patel at Fort Worth Fertility?
The front desk staff was not organized, appointments did not always start on time, my treatment did not feel proactive.

My first protocol was 200 mg Clomid a day and triggered with Ovidrel. The second and third were Clomid and Follistim injections with Ovidrel trigger. In the third IUI we also tried doing back-to-back days of inseminations to try to get more sperm.

I never had the same nurse so I don't even know their names.

I was not informed about my AMH level and that I should have been considered a DOR patient. My husband had some issues with paperwork and payment almost every time he had to bring a sperm sample into the clinic.
