XP: Houston Metro Area - RE Recommendations

BellaLuxBellaLux member
in Trouble TTC
Hi Ladies! It's been a long time! I took a much needed break, relocated to Texas and will be jumping back into the world of trx soon! I would greatly appreciate any RE recommendations in Houston (preferably north as I currently reside in The Woodlands), but I'm willing to commute longer for a great RE. Who should I definitely stay away from? Roach at NHCRM is closest to me and my old RE recommended Hickman at Houston IVF. Thanks in advance for all of the feedback!!

Lots of love to those who may be still around from when I was more active!

~TTC#1 Since July 2011~

    Yay more Houston ladies!

    I hear lots of good things about Dr. Haddad (HFI) but we have been with a different practice (FSH). We are considering a second opinion with someone within HFI but don't have anything specific against FSH. I know both practices have a North location- either Willowbrook or Woodlands but not all doctors practice at all locations from what I've found.

    I go to HFI in Clearlake and see Dr. Witz I absolutely love him and the office staff is amazing, and I love the patient portal. I think they have like 9 different locations and I'm pretty sure one is in the Woodlands. Their IVF stats are pretty high. The only thing I don't really care for is that all of the procedures are done at the Piney Point location which is a bit of a drive for me, especially after my HSC when I was sick and in pain.

    Oh and they normally don't have a long wait time to get in. I had my initial consult 3 days after I called for the first time. I've seen that it can take months for some ladies to get the first appt.

    Good luck to you

    Sig Warning/Ch mentioned

    If you are in The Woodlands, I would recommend Dr. Gill or Dr. Griffin at Houston Fertility Institute. I think (although I am not sure) they both see patients in The Woodlands office.  I have consulted with Dr. Griffin. I consulted with Dr. Griffin recently and liked him.  I have not cycled with them, though--however, I have known other people who have and have yet to hear anything bad.  

    I personally can not recommend Houston IVF--and I say that even though I conceived my son with them so you know my experience had to be bad!   They are very reputable and have good stats, but I could not in good conscious recommend them to anyone after my experiences. PM me if you want details.

    I've also been to Dr. Kosavick (or something to that affect) at Baylor. I liked him, but I hate going down to the medical center and I think HFI is known for having a better lab.   

    IF DX: DOR & Fragile X pre-mutation carrier
    2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8

    Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
