Reviews

I have been seeing Dr. Patel and his staff for many many years due to chronic endometriosis (stage 4) and severe infertility as a result. After being told by other doctors since I was 17 to have a hysterectomy and going down the tunnel of lost hopes, I did my research and found Dr. Patel's office. By time I was beaten down emotionally and financially by Other doctors and hospitals through unnecessary treatments and misdiagnosis, I had to be well versed in my condition and I was not very easy to deal with as a result. When I met with Dr. Patel, he had the patience and understanding along with the expertise to guide AND educate me. I really felt heard and seen with his superb bedside manner and he never dropped the ball not once! Even though I was distraught having dealt with endometriosis so severe, I was shocked at his understanding and level of expertise dealing with patients like myself, and it was Not easy whatsoever. But Dr. Patel and Dr. Mark Johnson (at the time) made me feel at ease every step of the way even when I had many doubts. I have gone through rounds of IVF even with minimal success (less than 10%) chances and I have had a son (2017) and twin girls (2021) as a result!! Dreams do come true and my prayers were answered and I thank God for Dr. Patel and his staff. The staff cares and is amazingly attentive and really helpful through the entire process from start to finish. The stress melts away once in his care and I truly believe I would not be able to do it anywhere else. I cannot express my extreme gratitude for AZ Associates staff and Dr. Patel. He really cares about his patients and their family and is an expert in his field! I would never go anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Patel and staff!

Dr Patel & his staff are absolutely amazing. We were out of state patients which can certainly be an added stress to IVF however, AZRH ensured we received the same quality of care. All of all questions were answered & calls/emails we’re always returned in a timely manner. Their prices are also quite reasonable compared to other clinics. My family & I are forever grateful for this office and their assistance in completing our family. We welcomed our precious boy/girl twins May of 2020!

Dr. Patel and his staff are amazing! After struggling to conceive and a miscarriage, we went to him on the recommendation of my Mayo doctor. We are so incredibly lucky to have found him and experienced their amazing care. They work quickly to run through all the tests to determine a fertility plan based on your health, needs and wants. He suggested we start with an IUI instead of IVF. We were somewhat skeptical that it would work, but remarkably 12 days after our first IUI we received our positive pregnancy test, and our son was just born last month! We truly feel it was a miracle to find this amazing doctor and have such great success on our first attempt! We will forever be grateful to Dr. Patel and cannot recommend him more highly and look forward to working with him again when we are ready for baby #2!

My husband and I started our fertility treatments with Dr. Patel in late 2018, and after 2 retrievals and an across country move that threw a wrench in scheduling, we are blessed to report our first FET was a success and we are currently 30 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. We sought care with Dr. Patel after speaking with 3 friends, family members, and colleagues who had all undergone successful IVF resulting in healthy children thanks to Dr. Patel. There are many great things about his practice including his staff (Doreen, Chelsea, and Kaitlyn, Anne) who become like an extended family since you are there so often. Any questions I had I could email or text one of them and get a very quick response. And many times Dr. Patel would call me to discuss things directly, he is always accessible to you. Dr. Patel works 7 days a week so he sees you at every visit (one of my pre-retrieval ultrasounds and lab draw was Easter morning), which is unique from alot of other fertility practices who use mid-level providers for ultrasound checks. With Dr. Patel doing your ultrasounds, you can trust the decisions he is making are accurate, reliable, and the best for you every time. Another aspect of the practice I respect is their willingness to admit to and correct mistakes. I did have an insurance issue come up and the billing staff admitted their error, felt terrible about it, and offered to cover further treatments to make up for the costs I had to pay (this ended up not being necessary and everything worked out fine, but their willingness to help meant everything). Lastly, if you do your research and look up practice outcomes on the CDC ART success rates website you can sift through the inaccurate claims of many IVF clinics and see the real data. Dr. Patel has some of the highest IVF success rates because he has the experience and a great team around him. I couldn't recommend AzARH more for your fertility care!

Thanks to Dr. Patel I just had my baby boy this month. Him and his staff were amazing throughout the whole process. If I had a question I could email the team and they would always respond quick and address my concerns. Dr. Patel is so very thorough and knowledgeable and I knew the whole time I was going through IVF that I was in the best hands. His practice is smaller and I felt like I wasn't just a number which is how you should feel when going through something like fertility treatments.
