How was your experience with Sanaz Keyhan at Palo Alto Medical Foundation?
The doctor is nice and shows empathy, but the procedure and treatment at this clinic are very routine. If you don’t have inflammation or other medical issues, this place might work well for you. However, if you have conditions like mine, I recommend treating those first or seeking care elsewhere. Otherwise, you risk wasting your insurance limits here.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sanaz Keyhan at Palo Alto Medical Foundation?
Get a ob/gyn that also treat fertility issues.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sanaz Keyhan at Palo Alto Medical Foundation?
My experience during the first three timed intercourse (TIC) cycles was somewhat frustrating. Despite attending the clinic for three cycles, I only saw the doctor twice. During this time, my egg development was slow, even with the prescribed 1 tablet of Letrozole. It wasn't until the third cycle that the doctor recognized that the dosage was insufficient, and only then did she adjust my prescription to 2 tablets for the next cycle. Additionally, I have endometriosis, a condition known to cause inflammation. However, I was informed that there were no medications available to reduce this inflammation, which I later found out is not accurate. This experience has left me questioning the level of personalized care I received.

1 tablet of Lectrozole for three cycles of TIC then 2 tables for three cycles of IUI
Describe your experience with Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
This clinic is well-suited for routine procedures, offering convenience and accessibility. The staff, particularly the nurses, are very friendly and attentive, ensuring a welcoming and supportive environment. One of the significant advantages of this clinic is its extended hours, as it remains open on holidays and weekends, which is highly convenient for those with busy schedules or unexpected needs. However, it's important to note that while the clinic excels in routine care, those with more complex medical conditions, such as inflammation or other underlying health issues, might find the treatment options here somewhat limited. In such cases, it may be more beneficial to seek specialized care elsewhere to ensure that your specific needs are thoroughly addressed. Overall, for standard procedures and general care, this clinic offers reliable service in a convenient and patient-friendly setting.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
I tested for an LH surge and promptly informed the clinic, expecting a call to schedule my IUI. However, no one contacted me. When I followed up, I was informed that only one time slot was available for the IUI, which was very inconvenient for my schedule.

Dr. Keyhan always came in to our appointments with such warmth and friendliness. She always too time to check in with me, ask questions and respond to my questions...is very professional and compassionate...Most importantly you can feel her sincerity and care for her patients...Sometimes I came in with questions based on my own research and she would always come back to me after looking into it herself. I appreciated her openness. There were also a couple of times where she ensured to meet with us even on days where she was scheduled for surgery. She also personally checked in with us via call when we were concerned early on in our pregnancy even when she was on vacation. Dr. Keyhan’s personality and knowledge certainly made fertility treatments easier for us.

Describe the protocols Sanaz Keyhan used in your cycles at Palo Alto Medical Foundation and their degree of success.
As i have anovulation/PCOs. We did timed intercourse by starting on a 5 day treatment of Letrozole (starting around day 3 of cycle). Initially we started with 2.5mg but eventually ended up using 7.5mg as my body did not respond to the lower dose. Each month I ovulated with about 3 times using ovidrel to trigger ovulation (I had high fertility detected via ovulation kit but did not reach peak fertility by the time expected). Along with Letrozole I took 10mg dexamethasone for 10 days at the start of the cycle to lower DHEAs levels.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Sanaz Keyhan at Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
Per my Anthem Blue Cross insurance, for timed intercourse and oral medication and injectables I only had to pay co-pay of $25 per visit and about $100 for the injectable medication which I didn’t need each cycle.

Dr. Sanaz takes utmost care of her patients. She invests her time both in terms of quality and quantity.

Describe the protocols Sanaz Keyhan used in your cycles at Palo Alto Medical Foundation and their degree of success.
Dr. Sanaz suggested us to undergo IVF directly without any IUI or other alternatives. It’s because i have low overian reserve with an autoimmune Kidney condition. So I thought this is a wise choice. As my egg count is low we ended up retrieving 8 or 9 eggs. so she suggest doing ICSI, which gave us 3 good grade embryos. As my first two transfers (one embryo each) ended up with early miscarriage, we did an ERA test before our last embryo transfer. Results came out normal, but it at least served as a proof that our transfers were done on right time. Luckily, my third transfer gave up positive results and i’m 19 weeks pregnant at the moment.
