Fertility Center

WEBVTT 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.583 I opened my practice in 2001 at this location on Katie Freeway, 00:00:10.667 --> 00:00:16.637 and I picked this location for easy access because Houston is very congested, 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.750 and people need to be able to get in and get out 00:00:18.838 --> 00:00:20.208 and get back to the rest of their lives. 00:00:20.708 --> 00:00:25.583 During my training and when I was deciding where I wanted to practice, 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.542 what I noticed is almost every other clinic, 00:00:29.116 --> 00:00:33.357 they're huge. We answer phones, answer emails. 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.600 I wanted to do something that was not so big and corporate and impersonal. 00:00:39.417 --> 00:00:41.333 They really follow you every step of the way. 00:00:41.417 --> 00:00:43.370 They definitely give you all of your information, 00:00:43.458 --> 00:00:47.077 so it definitely put my anxiety a lot at ease. 00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:48.500 Nobody wants to be here. 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.542 Nobody wants to be infertile. We're there with you. 00:00:51.625 --> 00:00:55.500 Infertility is, in some ways, it's like having cancer. 00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:58.600 You don't deserve it. It's scary. 00:00:59.750 --> 00:01:03.320 The doctor can't promise you necessarily the outcome you want. 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.195 And patients are emotionally desperate, 00:01:07.333 --> 00:01:10.542 making it easy for them to fall victim to scams. 00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:12.333 We'll get to be honest with you, 00:01:12.417 --> 00:01:15.042 even if it's news that you don't want to hear. 00:01:15.125 --> 00:01:17.680 We're not going to try to trick you into a treatment 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.000 just to get your money. 00:01:19.083 --> 00:01:21.957 Get the test, see what's going on. Trust your body. 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.634 If you feel like something's off, 00:01:23.834 --> 00:01:27.083 find a doctor that you feel comfortable calling and reaching out to 00:01:27.167 --> 00:01:30.208 because a lot of times your intuition is right. 00:01:30.292 --> 00:01:35.440 This office is unique in that my office staff love what they do. 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.720 My office staff has been with me for years, and in many cases, for decades. 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.637 We have patients sending us Christmas cards. 00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:48.625 I get pictures of graduations from high school, college. 00:01:48.708 --> 00:01:52.917 We've had patients name their kids after various office staff members. 00:01:53.042 --> 00:01:54.370 We have two beautiful kids, 00:01:54.570 --> 00:01:57.583 and we couldn't have done it without the support of this staff, 00:01:57.667 --> 00:02:00.083 and this team, and we're so grateful for them. 00:02:00.167 --> 00:02:04.200 Absolutely a dream come true and never doubted you for a second. 00:02:05.458 --> 00:02:07.875 What I want the patients to feel when they visit our clinic 00:02:07.958 --> 00:02:09.960 is that there's hope, 00:02:10.542 --> 00:02:14.042 that they know that we are going to be honest with them. 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.790 We're going to help them, 00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:21.560 whether it's with education, emotional support. 00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:23.875 We have baby number two right now, 00:02:23.958 --> 00:02:27.526 baking in the belly because, again, you've worked your magic, 00:02:27.726 --> 00:02:28.875 and so we want to thank you. 00:02:29.375 --> 00:02:32.667 It's just a warm feeling when you get to see these people 00:02:33.375 --> 00:02:34.500 year after year, 00:02:34.583 --> 00:02:37.708 knowing that you gave them the chance that nobody else would.
