Austin Fertility & Reproductive Medicine

I’m wanting to warn everyone that considers this clinic. The staff do not do their job at following up at all. If you get bad news they have a random person call and make you feel horrible. The Drs are related and seem to not communicate at all. There is no sense of professionalism or privacy at all. The nurse Kate yelled at us in the waiting room and blurted out personal info. The staff seems like a high school group of bullies. It’s sad that this «dr» office just seems to care about the bottom line. Not one baby picture on the wall to show children produced by this clinic. Manager was extremely rude and argued about every concern. .and they called us! After hearing we asked to speak with a manager.“we don’t give the manager name out” is what we heard when we inquired. Wow! No sense of compassion or care. I lost a lot of sleep stressing about the non responsiveness of this clinic. Do your self a favor and just pick another clinic. Nightmare experience:(

Let me to start from the staff at the reception, super nice and understandable people, although my English language is not a perfect, but they could to understand what we were looking for, schedule an appointment and then met the nicest doctor in there (Dr.Shahryar), who talked to us and guid us to the successful way to have our (second and third) babies, with very simple ways, and softest … The prices very affordable and they will try their best to build a big hope and light the way for families like us, and they became as a family for us as well …
There is no words are enough to give for these people, they are above of my language …
And I would love to thank all of them, especially our great doctor in there for his help, for his kindness, and for his warm feelings to push the hope inside ourselves and make it a REAL…

I started seeing Dr. Shahryar Kavoussi in February, and I have been so incredibly impressed with the care I’ve received from his office. Dr. Kavoussi is absolutely wonderful. He is kind and seems to genuinely care about his patients. He has listened to me and taken my concerns seriously, and he does a great job of explaining what he plans to do and why he plans to do it. I feel like he takes a very measured approach, so I don’t feel like I’m being pushed through a factory but am getting care that is specific to my situation. He is optimistic and reassuring without loading you up with false hope. He welcomes answering questions and addressing concerns, and I’ve never felt rushed or dismissed with him. Apart from when he’s been delivering bad news, he always has a smile on his face and the most calm, pleasant, reassuring demeanor. After hearing so many horror stories about RE’s who are terribly insensitive to their patients going through heartbreaking experiences, I can’t say how grateful I have been for Dr. Kavoussi’s kindness and sensitivity, and all of my experiences with everyone else in his office have been much the same. The whole practice seems to take the «care» part of treatment seriously.
In terms of treatment, I feel like Dr. Kavoussi really knows what he’s doing and is up on the latest studies, standards, and treatments and that I’m getting the best possible care from someone interested in giving his patients the best possible outcomes, without being worried about his ego or being wrong. I think it goes back to the fact that this practice seems to put their patients and their patients’ experiences first, and that is the best possible thing you could hope to find in a doctor.

love love love! my wife doesn’t have a Unilocal account but here is her review. and i agree with it 100%!
I cannot recommend AFRM enough! The team at AFRM and Westlake IVF worked with my husband and I throughout the entire process, and I cannot imagine a better team of people to work with. When initially deciding whether to pursue IVF, Dr. Shahryar Kavoussi was incredibly patient and informative during our consultations, answering my many questions and providing me with both the information and the hope that I needed. Throughout the process he — and the entire team — remained absolutely supportive, while keeping me informed about each step I was taking. Kate Odenwald was also a fantastic resource and source of support. In addition to her work during our appointments, she always provided a quick and informative response to my many e-​mails and phone calls about the minutiae of the process.
Everyone on the team got to know my husband and I during the process, and we really felt like we had the entire practice rooting for us in our journey. Each appointment was an opportunity to get reassurance and genuine care as we went through this difficult process. It might seem like a small token, but the smiles and warm greetings we received at all our appointments made what can be a very nerve-​wracking process that much more pleasant. In the end, we were fortunate enough to conceive twins (due in the fall) after our first round of IVF! Being able to see our babies on the sonogram at 6 weeks was a moment I know we will treasure forever. We are so grateful to Dr. Kavoussi, Kate, and everyone at AFRM and Westlake IVF for allowing this miracle to happen!

Dr. K was excellent during our attempts to get pregnant. He listened to our concerns, we came up with a plan, and eventually success! I would recommend him to anyone seeking a Doctor with excellent bedside manners and patience through this difficult process.

I recently got a vasectomy with Dr. Parviz Kavoussi. Long story short: The man was masterful at his work and I am so glad I had the procedure with him. Dr. Kavoussi performs the no-​scalpel procedure, which I do prefer after learning the difference between the scalpel and no-​scalpel procedures.
FYI guys if you don’t know the difference between scalpel and no-scalpel.(by the way I’m not a doctor. Talk to a doctor.) There are some tubes they need to block to perform the vasectomy. These tubes are surrounded by nerves and blood vessels. In the scalpel procedure they simply cut the tubes, which also cuts the surrounding nerves and blood vessels. In the no-​scalpel procedure, the Dr. gets inside the tubes, and cauterizes them from the inside, leaving the surrounding blood vessels and nerves in tact. Less bleeding and trauma to the body that way.
Dr. Kavoussi was very personable during the initial consult, and took as much time as I needed to answer all my questions. The day of the procedure, I was more nervous than I thought I would be, I was glad I took they Valium they recommended. During the procedure, as I said, Dr. Kavoussi was absolutely masterful in his execution. I wasn’t timing it, but he was done in 5 – 10 minutes. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated his skill.
There was very little pain during the procedure, and it was primarily from the numbing injection. After the procedure, I also had very minimal pain for the first few days. I was back to work after the weekend (minus Monday).

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi and he staff especially Jamie are amazing, courteous, helpful, great advocates with Insurance and always on the cutting edge of working with newer protocols, keeping me informed etc. I have been very happy for 1.5 years.

This office is amazing! Everyone here from the doctors to the staff are genuinely the nicest people you could hope to meet in a doctor’s office. I spend half my life in doctor’s offices for work and this is one of the kindest, most patient-​centric practices you will find.
I saw another reviewer complained that the doctor was late and then went on to say Dr. Kavoussi PERSONALLY called him to apologize. That is amazing! Most physicians would not take the time to do this!
And, these are fertility doctors who work on the schedule of women’s ovulation cycles and bodies. They may be late occasionally because they are taking care of their patients and trying to optimize their chances of conception. I dare you to find a doctor’s office where you don’t have to wait on occasion.
I can only think that the bad reviews on here are from people who don’t understand a doctor’s schedule or are blaming the Kavoussis for their infertility.
I cannot give this clinic enough stars! They bend over backwards to help their patients and come in on weekends and holidays to accommodate their patients. They are sincerely kind people…

wow — what a frustrating experience. I needed a form faxed to this office from a referring physician before Austin fertility would begin treatment. This form was faxed several times, and yet due to the incompetence of the front office staff was either misplaced or thrown out. I had to call both office several times over several days before the issue was resolved.
And then, I moved to Florida. I needed my records faxed to Florida doctor. Ok, simple enough, right? Nope. Not with this office lol. Again, it took several days, and 5 or 6 phone calls from me before Jamie (one of the front office all stars) says, «well, we have 30 days to fax records.» This is after they have been telling me and the other dr. office that they have been sending them! Goodness gracious. Jamie has been a (the word I am thinking of starts with a B and rhymes with witch) ever since I have been a patient there.
Yeah, the Dr is personable there, but more often than not, the only available appointments he has are on Friday’s between 3 — 430. I live in Round Rock, do you have any idea how awful that traffic is?
In conclusion, this office is a hassle, unhelpful in every way imaginable, and a great way to get back at someone you don’t like — just reefer them lol

Dr. Kavoussi is a very personable Doctor. He is very knowledgeable and caring. He takes the time to make sure you understand your treatment and will answer questions with understandable and thorough answers. I highly recommend him as a doctor.

There are very few physicians who touch your life in a meaningful way. Dr. Shahryar Kavoussi is one of those physicians. My husband and I decided to start a family later in life (38 years) and spent almost a year working with another physician who lacked quality of care and used antiquated protocols. When we realized we were not going to be successful and had limited time left, we did a tremendous amount of research into clinics and physicians who not only had good success rates, but also based their practice on quality of care as their core mission. Once we met with Dr. Kavoussi, we knew right away we found the right place and we were committed to working with him and his team through our journey towards fertility.
Throughout the 2 year journey, Dr. Kavoussi was invested in our success. He knew us personally and ensured we took aggressive approaches within our limited timeframe of viable oocytes to ensure we were making the best use of our procedures. Finally on our 2^nd IVF, through frozen embryo transfer, we had a little miracle and we were pregnant. I’m 12 weeks along and everything is progressing wonderfully so far.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Kavoussi and his uncompromising commitment towards helping others build their families. I consider him an utmost gentleman and a dear friend.

We are working with both Dr Parvis and Shahyrar Kavoussi from a recommendation from my OB/​GYN and we have been extremely happy. They are both incredibly professional and I was surprised by the personal attention we have gotten. We are in good hands during such a tough time.

I’m writing an honest review because I don’t want other women to waste their time here. After going to another doctor after Dr. Kavoussi, I realized I had a progesterone issue. This could have easily been tested for and fixed but this doctor failed to do that. Also, I felt rushed every single appointment and that I was just another check.
Also, his office staff is horrible! They give a lot of attitude and just not the type of people you expect to deal with in such a sensitive situation.

Initial visit, showed up on time. 45 minutes of waiting, no sign of doctor. Front desk was unaware of anything regarding his schedule, just said «Not sure, shouldn’t be long, sorry for the wait…». I eventually had to just leave.
Dr. Kavoussi did call me later to apologize.

Dr S Kavoussi is a miracle worker. After two years of trying to conceive he diagnosed my issue with a few tests and resolved my problems with several prescriptions. We conceived the first month and now have a sweet little baby boy. Many thanks to Dr S. He is very informative and has an excellent repoire with his patients. I would recommend him to anyone with fertility issues.

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi,
I just wanted to thank you and your staff at Austin Fertility & Reproductive Medicine for taking such good care of me. You are a true master in your profession and it shows… I felt totally comfortable in a situation that should make any guy feel awkward. It was nice to be able to watch sports center during the operation from the TV mounted above. You were thorough, understanding, informational and very quick. I never had any complications after the surgery and was up and mobile shortly after. I feel great and I would recommend anyone who needs the procedure done to contact

my husband had a vasectomy done by dr. kavoussi and it was as good as it gets! he was in and out in under an hour and the pain was minimal. dr. kavoussi had great bedside manner and best of all, we were all clear at the first post-​op check!
highly recommended!

Last year, I was referred to Dr. Shahryar Kavoussi for a medical (laproscopic) procedure from my Gyn. He was one of the nicest, most professional physicians that I have ever met. He performed the surgery as soon as possible (at my request). He was thorough in explaining the prep work involved and the procedure was a success. He followed up with a personal call afterwards — to check in with me, and my recovery was fast. I couldn’t have asked for more!

After some very frustrating run-​ins with other gynecologists, I’m so glad I took the chance to make an appointment with Dr. Shayar Kavoussi. Not only is he well informed on Endometriosis issues and treatment, he really listened and wanted to know what I was dealing with. He seemed to appreciate that I came in having done my own research and didn’t dismiss any concerns or questions I brought up like other doctors have. I have only gone once now but am SO encouraged to find a doctor like him. I only went in seeking help for my Endo problems, not for fertility issues, so I can’t speak to anything related to that, but if you are struggling with Endo I recommend giving Dr. Kavoussi a try.
