Fertility Specialists of Texas - Southlake

I always knew I wanted a family "some day", and with a mother who was one of nine, I never thought much about having fertility challenges. So, after my 30th birthday I told my husband I was ready to start trying for our family. I tracked, and tested, and did everything I could feasibly do at home to set us up for success and confirmed I seemed to be ovulating regularly. Being the Type A planner in our marriage, after 6 months of trying I approached my husband and asked what he thought he could do to increase our chances (exercise more, stop drinking, etc.). Rather than assume something was wrong, he suggested he have a sperm analysis done since it was little cost, and easily performed (mostly to put my concern to rest). A few days later when we received the results, we were both shocked that he had extremely low sperm count, very low motility, and poor morphology. I had never had anyone in my close circle experience male infertility, and our hopes for a family felt shattered. My husband was referred to a urologist, and after being identified as having a grade 2 varicocele, underwent a varicocele repair surgery. We patiently waited for the three months to pass to see how his sperm parameters had been impacted. While he did see a pretty significant improvement, it was not necessarily enough to feel confident in conceiving naturally. His urologist shared two different IVF clinics, one being Fertility Specialists of Texas. The closest location to us was Southlake with Dr. Patel. From the very first virtual consult, I knew Dr. Patel was who I wanted to work with. He was clearly very knowledgable in his field, shared very helpful information, but what really set him apart was his tremendous level of empathy for what we were going through. After that call in early 2022, we started our IVF journey. Dr. Patel and the entire FST staff's positivity, care, and attention to detail, helped us through two back-to-back retrievals (a suggestion I am so thankful Dr. Patel made). Finally, on August 31, 2023 we transferred our future miracle baby. Seeing the "little flash of light" on the ultrasound ignited the quiet hope in my heart, that this little embryo would turn into miracle baby. When I received the call after my first HCG Beta that I was officially pregnant, I cried tears of joy. Now looking at my beautiful baby girl almost a year from her transfer day, I feel so grateful to FST and Dr. Patel.

FST is the best clinic !! dr Patel is truly a miracle doctor we absolutely adore him he was patient, kind and understanding!! Thanks to this amazing staff for always making us feel comfortable. We have our miracle baby boy thanks to this entire staff!!! We are so blessed and it was worth the wait !!

My husband and I are very happy with the fertility specialist of Texas and Dr Patel. After more than 10 years of working with other fertility doctors. Dr Patel made our dream of becoming parents a reality. He took the time to determine what problems were causing our infertility and miscarriages. Dr Patel made sure to run genetic tests on both me and my husband to determine if there were any genetic abnormalities that were causing the miscarriages. He found that this was more than likely the cause of the miscarriages and put a plan of action in place. Because of Dr Patel's comprehensive work we were able to become pregnant. We are very grateful to Dr Patel for his work to bring us our son.

Dr Patel and the team here are amazing! We went to see them after 1.5 years of trying to conceive and ended up doing IUI and had success our first round! It did take a few weeks before we could be seen but after that we hit the ground running. The entire team was very responsive and knew what they were talking about. Dr Patel is extremely knowledgeable and good at his job! This is a clinic takes a fairly aggressive approach which I personally loved as my husband and I were fully ready to start this journey. A huge thank you to Dr patel and his team!

We are so thankful for our miracle baby, and he might not be here without the team at FST. He is our greatest joy, and it was so wonderful to feel that we had a care team who was willing to work so hard to help us become a family!
