Dr. Khorram is a very honest doctor and will give you information clearly and easy to understand. His appointments are efficient...the doctor projects confidence and expertise. I trusted him on day one. He made me feel comfortable without trying to to tip toe around the topic. I loved that he was direct. I actually appreciate that this doctor does not tap into emotions very much. I feel it helps keep me as a patient focused on the facts.

He [Dr. Omid Khorram] comes off with little personality but he know his stuff and is very low priced. We were successful with both transfers. He is very professional and even thought I should just try again naturally. I saw him most every time I went to his office and he performed the egg retrial and egg transfer.... He was willing to do either way, I choose to do 3 [embryos] a time because of wanting to be successful the first time and was willing to have multiplies

Dr. Khorram is a very intelligent doctor and I trust he knows best. He could use some improvement on bedside manner, and explaining procedures to his patients. If I had a question I kind of felt like he was rushed or a little dumb for asking.... The single embryo transfer was our choice. He pushed us to put in two, but we only wanted one as we had experienced twins and the stress on my body already. We should have listened, the one did not take. He told me it was because we only put in one.
