This was the worst experience ever during an already hard time. I went through a year on treatments with my clinic in Colorado and then when my husband and I moved to Arizona this was one of the clinics that was recommended to me. I had a consultation with Dr. Patel. At first I thought this was going to be great, I wasnt going to miss a beat in my treatment. Then our conversation continued and the longer we talked Dr. Patel was rude and very condescending. He told me that until I lost weight (~230lbs), I would never get pregnant (little did I know that at the time of my meeting with him I was actually pregnant). But yet here I am a little more than a year later and I have a healthy 9 month old. If you are even slightly over weight, this is not the place for you. Dr. Patel clearly does not have the desire to help you. I even went as far to call my clinic in Colorado and told them what happened and suggested that they take this clinic off their list of recommendations.
Dr. Patel and his staff are amazing! They did what two other fertility doctors could not do, he got me pregnant. I had gone to HRC-Encino in California when I was 37 years old trying to get pregnant. Two egg extractions and three embryo transfer with no luck. Moved to Arizona started the IVF process again now 39 years of age with Bloom reproductive but felt like they did not listen to me or my concerns wanted to waste my time and money wanting me to do IUI. So left there with shattered dreams and hope. My husband encouraged me let’s try IVF one more time so found Arizona associates. Dr . Patel always took the time out to listen to my concerns kept me informed of what and why he was doing what he was doing.
First of all, if you are looking for a doctor to coddle you and tell you everything is going to go well, he is not the right choice for you. He is kind and has a dry sense of humor but he is not going to sugar coat or give you hugs if things don’t go well. I prefer realistic expectations, statistics, truthfulness, and don’t like hugs from anyone but my family so he was a good fit for me. This is what you will get from Dr. Patel. I don’t think my favorite nurse is there anymore (Bonnie) but she was amazing!! Our baby was born in 2019 via ivf under the care of Dr Patel and his amazing staff. We will hopefully be going back soon for baby #2.
If I could give more stars I would. Almost did not use Dr. Patel bc of the small mount of not so good reviews, and that would have been a big mistake. Dr. Patel, Chelsea, Doreen, Gabi, and the rest of his staff are amazing! They are extremely knowledgable, supportive, answer all questions, organized, responsive (especially using the app by text), and when you have an appointment you never wait. You are in and out. Dr. Patel is all business but he knows exactly what he is doing and his primary goal is to make sure you get pregnant. The best thing we did was allow them to work their magic and they did. We are so appreciative to Dr. Patel and his staff for helping us with our little miracle. We are due 1/3/22.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Patel and his staff. After ttc for 3 years, I got pregnant via IVF after the first transfer. Dr. Patel and his staff made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process and explained everything so well and were always available for questions any time of day. Thank you so much Dr. Patel!
Dr. Patels staff are incredibly kind and helpful. That however was not our experience with him. He was very rude, was unwilling to answer questions, talked over us and made us feel like we had no business trying to get pregnant. If you have no health conditions and are an easy case, youll probably have a great experience. If you have any health conditions, be prepared to be treated as thought you shouldnt be trying to have a child. If I could give a lower rating, I would. I left in tears. Highly, highly would not recommend.
The worst experience ever! Dr. Patel has zero bedside manner what soo ever!!! He only wants patient w zero health issues , he made comments that I shouldnt even be trying to get pregnant! Because Im overweight , old , and had health issues in past . I left that appt in tears and feeling hopeless .I may be alittle overweight but the way he spoke to me was as if I was 600lbs. I would give zero stars if I could
So grateful to the staff and Dr. Patel. I felt like we were always well taken care of. After several tries with IUIs, we were finally successful through IVF and we cant thank them enough. I wouldnt wish this situation on anyone, but if they need help I would highly recommend Dr. Patel!
Dr. Patel was rude and snippy the entire time. I went here seeking out guidance because I was diagnosed with PCOS and was told that I would have a difficult time getting pregnant. His plan was very extreme. It involved placing stents in my fallopians tubes and flushing out my uterus. I decided to go to my OBGYN to see what she thought. She placed me on a mix of Clomid, Metformin, and Progesterone. I was able to get pregnant this way. Complete waste of $300.
This is a very professional facility. Dr. Johnson Took the time to evaluate our specific situation and provided very informative feedback explaining our options to restore our reproductive health. He helped us set-up a plan to get back on track and we are very pleased with the results we are seeing. I would recommend Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health to any couples struggling with fertility issues.
My experience with this office has been phenomenal. The back office staff makes you feel welcome and comfortable. The clinical staff is so understanding and they explained the procedures and outline of my course in just a way that it wasnt scary or overwhelming.I definitely recommend this office to anyone I know.
This place is ridiculous . Dr made us to take all the test knowing that we will be moving to a new place . At the end of the test results he can’t treat us and advised to see the new Dr at new place. Just made us to take all tests in his office .
This location lost my husbands semen analysis results and there is no way in the world I would EVER recommend them to anyone. NEVER GO HERE!
