How was your experience with Randall Dunn at Houston Fertility Specialists?
Although we have not had a successful treatment, we would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Dunn. He is friendly, intelligent, empathetic, and truly cares about us. After our losses, he has hugged us and given us encouraging words. He has stated many times that he prays for us. He presents the facts along with latest evidence to support his plans, but always listens to us. We never feel pressured to move in a certain direction. After our first cycle of IVF ended unsuccessfully, he humbly stated that he would not be offended if we wanted to seek a second opinion. While some may call us naive, we put little thought into seeking a second opinion elsewhere. We are committed to Dr. Dunn because he is committed to us.

Describe the protocols Randall Dunn used in your cycles at Houston Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
Dr. Dunn started with the initial blood work panel to determine my AMH level and HCG to see if my tubes were open. We then found out that I had lean PCOS which is why we started on the letrozole route. After two unsuccessful months, we then moved on to a round of letrozole and IUI. When that didn't work, we had a surgery to look for any signs of endometriosis, which he found stage 1. We then, switch to 2 more rounds of IUI but with clomid. When that didn't work, we moved on to IVF retrival 1 resulting in 2 pgs normal embryos. We had 1 miscarriage and 1 negative result from that round. Then we moved on to round 2 of IVF, this time with 6 normal PGS embryos. One chemical pregnacy and 3 unsuccessful transfers so far!
Describe your experience with your nurse at Houston Fertility Specialists. (Assigned nurse: Gloria)
The nurses, technician, and entire staff are like family to me now! They know us by name. They cheer us on, cry with us after each loss or fail treatments, and remind us daily that our miracle is coming. It's just taking a little bit longer.
Describe your experience with Houston Fertility Specialists.
It's hard to get in touch with the nurses. You need to leave a voicemail and they will return the call back to you. If you are a person that needs immediate answers, please know that this will not always be the case. The nurses have set patients that they are working with. IVF schedules are more complex and requires more of their attention. So if you are just starting out its important to be patient. The staff is kind and caring but let's remember that they're all doing their best to provide the best care. Fertility is a tricky thing. Treatments are based on the women's menstrual cycles which is not always predictable. Ask lots of questions when you see your doctor. This is the time to ask clarifying questions, tell them about your concerns, advocate for yourself. Doctor Dunn does a great job catering to my specifics needs and medical history. I never feel like he's prescribing the exact same medications
