  This review is long overdue, but in the midst of raising and enjoying our 2-year-old, I haven't had much time. Dr. Moghadam helped make us parents. After my initial appointments, he noticed some issues that were possibly preventing us from becoming pregnant, and he laid out a number of options, but was realistic with us too. I always appreciated his frankness and encouraging, yet realistic, approach throughout the process. I cried the day we "graduated" from the clinic to return to my regular OB-Gyn. I am so thankful for Dr. Moghadam and everyone in his clinic who made this overwhelming, terrifying, uncertain process manageable and (fortunately) so successful. We could never thank Dr. Moghadam enough for helping us become parents the most sassy, vibrant, caring and loving little girl.

  Going through IVF is a rock road with highs and lows. It was very challenging for me emotionally and the team at AFI was 100% supportive. Dr. M was sound and knowledgeable. Yes, there were a few times we waited in the waiting room a bit longer than we would have liked. We learned to budget our time and account for a potential wait. Towards the end of our time with them I could tell time was getting managed better and our waits were shorter. As patients we never know what they are dealing with behind the scenes. What I do know is we were successful on our 1st try of IVF. We have a strong and healthy baby boy who is on the 90% percentile. Thank you AFI Team!!

  My husband and I had tried naturally to have a child for 2 years with no results. We visited a few OBGYN and fertility doctors before Dr. Moghadam, and none of the doctors gave us the personal attention and care that Dr. M has given us. After our first visit we knew right away that he was the doctor for us. We knew we could trust him and he would help us as best as he could. Once we began our treatment he provided his personal phone number that we can call, but of course we do not abuse this privilege and respect his family time at home. But the fact that he gives you access to him after hours is just another way to show how much he cares for his patients and how dedicated he is to their success. Some people will say the wait is long, I have never experienced a long wait. Nothing that isn't to be expected from a successful doctor who runs their own personal practice. Even on busy days, even after he just finished a surgery, he STILL makes us feel like he only cares for us. He is warm and friendly at every single appointment. Some may say he talks fast, I didn't think so. But if you do, then ask him to slow down or repeat himself. Anytime I did not understand a term or "the plan" he very kindly explained things in a different way and made absolute certain that I understood all the information. He even went as far as to draw diagrams! Like with every doctor, always advocate for yourself and have open communication.
  Dr. Moghadam has counseled us during every obstacle that we have faced. He is realistic and very honest about your situation and your odds, but he is never "doom and gloom". He is honest and positive, but realistic. That makes such a difference when you are going through the emotional rollercoaster of infertility.
  We are still working through some things, but there is no other doctor I would want counseling us through this. I can not speak highly enough about Dr. Moghadam, if I could give him 10 stars I would. With something has sensitive and emotionally draining as infertility, Dr. M has been a true gift. Whatever happens, I am so thankful we found him.

  We have a babytoday because of Dr. Moghadam. He said to us early on, "my goal is to have a successful pregnancy, that is my only focus." We dabbled with "aggressive fertility" treatments via my wife's previous OBGYN doctor and practice ( a big one...that is north). I would caution anyone from trying fertility treatments at an OBGYN practice: prescribing chlomid or fermara monthly isn't proper treatment for a lot of patients. We wasted many many months following some ridiculously misguided approach by doctors that weren't fertility experts.
  
  On the flip side, Dr. Moghadam immediately had us on a plan with fertility meds, weekly scans for knowing egg growth and count, subsequently injectable trigger shots, etc. The fact is: we had treatment with Dr. M during 4 pregnancy "attempts" and were successful in getting pregnant twice. That's a 50% rate when normal rates are 20% assuming everything else is operating as expected.
  
  Dr. Moghadam cares about the results, the patients, and is passionate about what he does. I am frustrated that we didn't find Dr. M sooner in our journey to having a baby and we were going in circles for 10 months under the care of another doctor who said, "Oh, we treat infertility cases."
  
  When we first started seeing Dr. M, I think he may have been booking more clients than he was able to handle. We would go weekly, and tHere would be times where we'd wait an hour for our appointment while we were on time. We eventually just expressed our frustrations directly with Dr M, and said we are always on time, and we want you to do better. He did. We rarely waited more than 30 minutes past our appointment (maybe 25% of the time?). We also started calling prior to the appointment to make sure they weren't running far behind.
  
  Dr. M is confident, and patient: explains the process and gives lots of background when asked. Do yourself a favor: if you want a baby and are having a hard time, schedule an appointment.
