Reem Sabouni

Dr Sabouni gave me hope when other doctors had told me to give up. No other doctor would even try and she immediately said “I will be in this with you! If you want to try, I will try with you! “ She set realistic expectations and always prioritized my health. I trust her fully. She is so kind and gentle. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and uses her resources to help form plans if things don’t go as expected. She will consult with other REs to make sure everything is done to the best of everyone’s ability and knowledge. The care and personalized attention was beyond what I expected. She is wonderful!

Go and see her. You will not regret it.

We did 4 IUIs. One was cancelled because I had too many follicles. She adjusted meds and the following month I produced exactly the amount we needed. After 3 failed IUIs, we moved to IVF. I have a clotting condition with previous strokes. She was very proactive in ensuring my health was priority and never compromised it. The first IVF cycle, my trigger shot did not mature my eggs. I had a double lupron trigger. They retrieved 14 eggs and none were mature. We did get 2 embryos but both were genetically abnormal. The next IVF cycle, she changed the protocol a smidge. I was on only menopur instead of menopur and gonal-f. She also changed my trigger to lupron and hcg trigger. She retrieved 17 eggs and we had 3 embryos- 2 are genetically normal. They are frozen and we will be transferring soon.

I did not have fertility insurance. IUI was about $2500. IVF is about 15,000. Meds were about $5,000. Genetic testing was about $2500.

Since I never saw my Dr and felt with the clinics , there was a lot of communication problems. With medication to proceedures. I can even add billing to that list . I wish it was encouraged to transfer Dr if the Dr can’t see me . The app or apps were very frustrating when I would have to go to another area to ask a simple question.

Don’t keep patients that you can’t see. I think it’s very unethical to keep me as a patient and not speak until a procedure. Communication is already bad in the office for it to filter out was almost impossible to get a response.

The procedure that was done early 2024 seems like an old study. I want to know why that study was done when it technically can’t be used to treat endometriosis. In addition why aren’t my photos uploaded in our portal to see and prompt questions? Why can you do procedures on DT office and Piney Point only?

$$$$$ all they did was charge me and my insurance

I think from the very beginning I should have been given a plan. It shouldn’t be a fail and then see . I feel that there should be a plan in place for patients like me. I also think the Dr should know what prenatals I am taking and also know what diet I am on. This is a lot of money to put into something without any guidance. I was just shoved in a room for testing and they swiped my card.
