I had a tubal ligation in 2007 during a previous marriage. In 2009 I remarried and my husband and I decided we would like to have a child together, so I set about searching for a good doctor to help us out. In March of 2011 I found Dr. Kavoussi, and from our very first meeting, I felt incredibly comfortable with him and confident in his ability to help us achieve pregnancy. In April my husband and I took out a loan for the full amount of the surgery and scheduled our date in May. My surgery was unsuccessful, due to my excess weight and not through any fault of Dr. Kavoussi. Even though my surgery failed through no fault of his own, Dr. Kavoussi still seemed to view this as a personal failure and even called me personally on a Saturday to see how I was feeling and discuss what my other options were to achieve pregnancy. While this has been a long, painful journey for me, and I won't be able to achieve pregnancy due largely to the financial aspect and that my husband is deploying with the Army, as soon as I can afford it, I will DEFINITELY return to Dr. Kavoussi and the rest of the wonderful staff at Austin Fertility and Reproductive Medicine.
