Sanaz Keyhan

Dr. Keyhan came into our lives when we were already deep into the IVF process and feeling very overwhelmed and stressed. She was a balm to my soul during the most traumatic times I've ever experienced. IVF was incredibly challenging for me mentally, physically, and emotionally. All I've ever wanted was to be a mother, but my body struggled to cooperate. This led to so many internalized feelings of failure as well as deep sadness. Dr. Keyhan understood that this process was not straightforward or easy and helped me white knuckle through it when I had to. Although we didn't see her every appointment due to PAMF's model, she always messaged to check in and I knew she looked over the notes. My care was highly individualized. She is also brilliant and on top of the research - she could answer every question I threw at her. When our first daughter died shortly before her due date due to a cord accident, Dr. Keyhan sat on the phone with me and cried for an hour even though I was no longer under her care. When I was ready to move forward again, she helped me create a plan - even though she was out of the office on maternity leave. I knew she was always available for consultation, even when out of office, due to my extenuating circumstances and difficulty trusting other providers. Once she was back, we returned to her care and she moved heaven and earth to create the most seamless retrieval I have ever experienced. Despite the high level of PTSD I was navigating, it was the easiest experience we had in 7 cycles. My partner was always treated as an equal in the process and she asked him if he had questions each appointment. When she did the transfer that resulted in our second daughter and first living child, Dr. Keyhan ensured he could be nearby even with COVID protocols and ran out to give him a hug and update as soon as it was completed. She legitimately cares about her patients and cares about them in an authentic way. This is even true for the patients like me - medical outliers whose bodies don't cooperate and who have experienced trauma and have PTSD as well as a high need for information and control. I know I'm not an easy patient for all the above reasons, but Dr. Keyhan never made me feel like a burden or too much. I think of her every time I think of either of my girls and am so glad our paths crossed. Anyone would be fortunate to work with her.

Feel safe to ask any questions you may have - she will never do you wrong. Also know that you're able to be authentic about your full experience - you're a human to her, not just a number.

We were advised to only use one PGT euploid embryo l. This was clearly explained - it seemed to be PAMFs policy for euploids due to concerns about multiples.

Dr. Keyhan is a wonderful doctor (and human being). She has an amazing bed side manner, meaning she is warm, patient and comforting. She explains everything in detail. She really takes time to listen your concerns and answer every question you may have. She also set reasonable expectations for my treatment plan and so far everything that she predicted has been on track. Bedside manner, especially in this field is very important to me. I feel as a patient of Dr. Keyhan, I felt really cared for, in an above and beyond aspect. When I came in for my IVF consultation we realized that it was now or never and she got the ball rolling very quickly for me- which I was so greatly appreciate of. She was also very reassuring and made sure to keep things very positive even when I doubted things. I know that doctors can't guarantee anything at all, but the support and warmth Dr. Keyhan has provided was exceptional. Wonderful doctor.

I would keep her my primary doctor if I could, that is the advice I would give.

The overall strategy Dr. Keyhan prescribed for me was an an Antagonist Protocol. This was decided based on the fact that I had lower normal counts in my follicles and that my partner and I had successful conceived and birthed a child 4 years prior. We also planned on doing a fresh transfer based on this as well.

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.

1 tablet of Lectrozole for three cycles of TIC then 2 tables for three cycles of IUI

billed to insurance is around 10k

Dr. Keyhan is very professional and compassionate. She always took her time during her appointments with us and ensured all our questions and concerns were answered. Most importantly you can feel her sincerity and care for her patients. She brings a warm, friendly and positive vibe every single time. 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.

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.

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 was always welcoming and is a very sweet person. Each time I meet her, I left her office with full of comfort and hope. Connecting with her gives full of positive vibes, which I feel is the crucial thing in any IVF journey. She is the most sweetest and friendly doctor i’ve ever seen. She gave me all the information needed in detailed manner each time, and was never in rush. She listens and answers to all the questions even when the questions are repetitive. Overall, she is a great doctor and fantastic person!

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.

Dr. Keyhan was incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable. I like to ask a lot of questions and Dr. Keyhan gave me answers I could understand. Even when I sent her messages online over the patient portal, she provided me with answers quickly. Her kind words and her confidence in her knowledge and experience made me feel like I was in good hands. I cannot stress enough how much having Dr. Keyhan guide my family and me on this tough experience has been a blessing

Please ask questions. Dr. Keyhan is so patient and kind, she will give you answers that will help you feel more knowledgeable and supported

I do not remember the specific treatment strategy used but I do know that Dr. Keyhan found the strategy that worked the best and we used that strategy to gather the embryos for our future children

I cannot remember specifics but I do remember that the medical group Dr.Kayhan was a part of did offer payment plans

Dr. Keyhan made sure we were informed every step of the way. They went with the single embryo transfer and that worked for us
