This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.
For more information please see our FAQs.
Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.
He [Dr. Kenneth Moghadam] may get busy at times, he tries to stay on schedule and does a great job the majority of the time...I really wanted twins again. He explained the risk and his hesitation. He said he would do what I wanted but wanted me to speak to maternal health about the risks to be sure I had full knowledge of the risks. He was understanding and didn’t discount my wants...I had to travel over 3 hours to see him but with a history of success I felt it was worth it. I was shown with respect and care every time I went. He took the time to address my questions and on the rare occasion he couldn’t answer all my questions due to time constraints he made sure I was able to speak to a nurse before leaving.
They [nurses at Austin Fertility Institute] were caring and informative.the nursing staff was nice and informative. The first week was a little tough. Getting medication called in and the protocol hit a snag but it was quickly fixed and never happened again...It is a quiet and comfortable waiting room. 90% of the time they are on schedule and have time to answer all your questions. On rare occasions they get very busy and it feels a bit rushed. The nurses return calls same day and are very helpful and their are nurses on call over the weekend to give advice if there is an emergency.

Understand that he wants the best for you. He knows what he is doing and wants success. He may get busy at times, he tries to stay on schedule and does a great job the majority of the time. I know this can be an emotionally driven time but know he wants you to be successful and he has proven o er and over that he can get even tough cases (like mine) there. Be your own advocate and let him know what you need (more communication etc) to make sure your needs are met.

[ Dr. Crawford is] Very willing to work, trying to do the best outcomes. Sometimes had conflict about how far to push treatment and how quickly to scale up. I always felt like she was trying to do the very best. She tried to work around my schedule...Very willing to talk and explain things and answer questions...I used femara so far, to stimulate ovulation on the side that still had a fallopian tube, followed by intercourse. Have discussed other protocols but so far haven't tried that yet.
staff [at Austin Fertility] is kind of hard to get a hold of. Appointments are scheduled optimistically and frequently run late. Nursing line always goes to voicemail. They do call back and answer questions, but can never get a hold of them...cycles $500 per femara/intercourse. IUI $1500, IVF 10,000..Clinic is very helpful. It's kind of hard to trust the scheduling. Frequently runs late, but I think that's at least partially because they try to educate and fully answer questions. Care is always done well.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Austin Fertility Institute.
had trouble getting ovudril prescription to the correct pharmacy, it took several phone calls. Eventually got it sorted out.
I saw Dr. Moghadam for several cycles. The first on clomid did not induce ovulation, so he immediately encouraged me to begin injections and IUI. He finally suggested after 6 rounds of treatment I move to IVF. I got a second opinion from another doctor who wanted to try one clomid cycle at a higher dose with timed intercourse and I conceived on the first try. I have a son from that. We have tried this treatment since and I have not ovulated every time, though have not conceived. I feel if Dr. Moghadam had adjusted my medicine initially, I may have saved a lot of time and expense.
Terribly long wait times [at Austin Fertility Institute], but the doctor takes as much time with you as you need. The wait time did add additional stress to an already stressful situation due to having to take off work. I liked that Dr. Moghadam talked me through each procedure and showed me via ultrasound what was happening. I found it very reassuring.... Plan to wait at least 2 hours for appointments.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kenneth Moghadam at Austin Fertility Institute.
I was able to pay one set price for each cycle, rather than pay by appointment, which was nice. I believe an IUI was 1500 out of pocket, not including any medications, just visits.
He [Dr. Moghadam] is very personable and compassionate. He answered all our questions willingly and never made us feel silly or a bother. Once we started getting results back, I feel like he was quick to just say our only option was IVF with icsi. While that may be the case, our problem is male related and I feel that we had to basically ask for a referral to a fertility urologist. We understand IVF is most likely the only way we will conceive but atleast we are getting more answers as to why it's happening.
Wait times and appointments [at Austin Fertility Inst] need to be better managed. I feel like overbooking may be a problem. It's a small waiting room for the volume of patients. I was very impressed with how fast we were scheduled an appointment. We only had to wait 2 weeks, when we were told the average wait time was over a month.... Quick to get in but had to wait 2hrs past our follow up appointment to be seen for our lab work, for only a 5 minute conversation.

He [Dr. Moghadam] is an expert, very knowledgeable about his craft. He is a great doctor just wish they would offer a follow up visit after a negative test, instead of calling just saying call is when you start your next cycle... They offer no addition time to follow up with your doctor “only if you want to pay $300 dollars for a consultation.” But they never offer help or answers just opportunities to spend more money.... All of my procedures were standard
They [Austin Fertility Institute] work hard but appointments are typically late and IUI procedures are done after the 36 hour time line Strengths they are knowledgeable and helpful. They truly take their time with you and try to explain as much as possible.... [Cost Of Treatment] 1500 per cycle 3000 for surgery... This process is difficult! Every negative pregnancy test is draining. The doctor never analyzing the data taken from previous experience, calls you and makes a plan to be better.

[Dr. Kenneth Moghadam is] Very honest, direct but very professional and dedicated to his job doctor. First, he was the first doctor who gave me right diagnosis...took me years to figure out that I have endometriosis. He performed endoscopy and after my surgery I felt much better in terms of managing my symptoms and pain during women’s days. I believe surgery, healthy diet and healthy lifestyle helped me to get pregnant naturally 1 year latter.
[Austin Fertility Institute is in a] Very convenient location, smaller office but with personal approach to their patients, professional staff, good equipment. Sometimes it took longer for nurses to reach you with information about your test results but if you call them first they always have information available...Best staff!!! I liked friendly atmosphere in his office. Nurses and other personnel were nice, professional and always in a good mood.

Don’t remember
What specific things went wrong at Austin Fertility Institute?
Dr. M [Moghadam] thoroughly explained everything every step of the way. From consultation to IuI he was there for us and made sure we knew what was happening. During my actual iui procedure he even reassured my worries that I had already ovulated by having the nurse show me that I hadn’t. He remembers every detail about us every time we go in.
The wait times at their North office [Austin Fertility Institute] can be very long! I think they overbook so prepare to wait an hour or more if you go on a busy day. The South office was great, I never waited and it was much more personable there!... All of the nurses I interacted with were very nice and caring, especially Jamie and Nicole who I saw the most. They care as much as the doctors do about each patient that comes through the office.

Dr. M was very caring toward our situation and as upset as we were that I had not become pregnant during our treatments thus far.
Describe the protocols Kenneth Moghadam used in your cycles at Austin Fertility Institute and their degree of success.
Dr. M had me start on Letrozole day from days 3-7 and also combined it with the injectable Follistim from days 5-9. My body responded exactly as expected and I had to mature follicles. On my second iui I had the same protocol but my body didn’t responded as well so an extra day of Follistim was added and I think I still only had 1 mature follicle this time.

You will have to wait a while in the waiting room, but that is because he gives so much attention to you once you are with him. I would prefer to wait than to be shuffled around between nurses as I have been in other clinics.

At the first appointment, he [Austin Fertility Institute] took his time but appointments there after it was in and out after very long wait times.... He was the first fertility doctor I saw and when I did 2 iuis with him, he never mentioned that my lining was thin or try to change any protocols to help with the lining.
