Made an appointment with Houston Fertility Institute - Anyone been there?

So since my periods are getting crazier (this month I had a 21 day cycle and an 8 day LP - WTF?) and with my FSH coming back a little high (11.2), I decided to go talk to yet another RE about freezing some embryos. I went to see another doctor at Baylor in April who specializes in genetic issues, but he didn't think IVF/freezing was a good idea due to low AFC and suggested repeated IUI's. However, someone on here told me that Baylor has a crappy lab. I've heard a lot of good things about HFI and DH was a few years behind Dr. Griffith (at Houston Fertility Institute) in med school so I decided to make an appointment with him...plus, the HFI Willowbrook location is literally like only a couple of miles from my work. So I made an appointment there. Anyone been there? I wonder what their take will be...

However, I was at a different HFI, not willowbrook. I also went to the one in the med center one time and was so disappointed that I never went back. FX hit location is way better.

MrsNukem- I had a consult with Chris and then I got pregnant and didn't go back...probably should have because I had horrible MS and, later, pre-e. I actually did get pregnant at houston ivf, but I still had a bad experience. There were multiple issues, but
