Fertility Associates Of Memphis

Keeping it real when parents-​to-​be are in a fog. Let’s face it, parents-​to-​be who have trouble becoming parents often need help conceiving or retaining a pregnancy. We get emotional, we are angry, we are sad. Fortunately for the mid-​south, Fertility Associates of Memphis provides that service and can help most families with their fertility problems.
(It has been six years since I’ve required the services of this office, so you know my review is not tainted by hormones or stained by tears.)
My experience with Fertility Associates of Memphis was not unlike many other moms’ trials. We didn’t have trouble getting pregnant, but I’d suffered multiple miscarriages and 2 D&Cs, and my OBGYN was smart enough to refer me to her partner on a research publication she’d done on multiple miscarriages. Conveniently located in the same building at 80 Humphrey’s Center near Baptist Women’s Hospital, I was walked down to see Dr. Kutteh. After all the emotions I’d experienced in an office full of women, it was a nice change to see some male faces who approached my fertility proactively and in a scientific manner.
I had an HSG (a painful x-​ray of the uterus with dye), DNA testing, progesterone supplements, and eventually, a very simple surgery to repair a minor problem (major enough, however, to prevent any embryo from attaching). It felt good leaving his office after each visit with a proactive feeling, like I knew what was going to happen next, and I knew what we’d done so far. I was kept in the loop, I never felt like crying in the office, and I knew that he’d get me there. When I had the surgery at Methodist, one nurse did not start my IV antibiotics on time and he really gave it to her! This doctor takes care of his patients and wants things done correctly. That’s what I’d want for my own daughter, too.
Some serious precautions (folic acid, progesterone supplements, etc) later, we have a son and daughter, just like we always dreamed of. I have since had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Kutteh when he visited our church, and enjoyed speaking to him and his wife, and thanking him in person for helping us.
Other friends of mine have experienced Clomid for ovulation, and IVF treatments with Dr. Ke and loved his demeanor as well. They have recently taken on a third partner, Dr. Brezina, who became interested in the field after he and his wife experienced their own difficulty conceiving. Isn’t it a comfort to know that your fertility specialist might have experienced some of the heartache and wait that you have?
P. S. When our insurance didn’t want to cover treatment, they fought for us and saved us some money, too!
