Infertility Testimonials
During the hardest time in mine and my husband's life, Houston Fertility Institute and our faith offered us the hope that we longed for. Dr. Haddad, Antoinette and the rest of the staff always greeted us with a smile. Each time we arrived for our appointments, we felt comfortable, able to be ourselves, and completely free to ask whatever questions we had. Dr. Haddad gave us devoted attention and showed us how much he cared about us. We did not feel like patients. We felt like friends. They made sure that we were not only feeling well physically, but emotionally. I would recommend anyone I know to Houston Fertility Institute and Dr. Haddad. The positive warm feeling of the office radiates to your heart. Because of Dr. Haddad, we are able to fulfill our life long dream of becoming parents. We are ecstatic to report that we are expecting a beautiful baby girl in November.

A year ago I was doing research on fertility programs around the Houston area after years of longing to start a family. Thankfully, I came across the Houston Fertility Institute and nervously made my first appointment. It was then that I met Dr. Haddad and set off on my journey of making it all reality. He was very thorough in discussing my past medical history and answered all of my questions in detail. We discussed all options available as well as all procedures that would be needed. Once I was on my way through the IVF process, it was an interesting few months of injections, bloodwork, and ultrasounds at the Medical Center office. Dr. Haddad performed all my ultrasound scans and was always willing to listen to my concerns and answer questions that developed along the way. I trusted his recommendations entirely and I believe that made all the difference in my IVF cycle being successful. I also have to say that the great office staff was also so very supportive. Antoinette always made me feel at ease and was always encouraging. I noticed the same concern and great care for all the patients that walked through the doors at the HFI. Thankfully I am now pregnant with twins and I know that I would not have been successful had it not been for Dr. Haddad. After spending so much time visiting the office, I felt not only like a patient but like a friend. I will always be grateful for the help given to me and for making my dream of becoming a mom a reality.

When I first went to see Dr. Haddad, I had little hope, and I honestly was burnt out on doctors talking to me about infertility, because nothing had worked. I was chewing on my last straw, so to speak (not to mention my fingernails). My husband and I had been together for 10 years and married for 7. We’d never used birth control, yet had never gotten pregnant. We had specifically been trying for over 6 years with no success. Infertility had taken a heavy toll on me, in more ways than I cared to count. But I found hope, in Dr. Haddad and HFI. I went in for a consultation and felt immediately comfortable and hopeful there. He was kind and took his time with me in explaining my options. I never once felt rushed. We started treatment immediately, after some initial testing, which is exactly what I wanted. I didn’t want to wait any longer. Dr. Haddad was there every step of the way, as was his nurse Antoinette. We’ve never in my life felt comfortable in a doctor’s office the way I felt at Dr. Haddad’s. They were there to support me all the way through. There were ups and downs and both Dr. Haddad and Antoinette were there to share in my joys and to comfort me when I was scared, nervous or just panicked with waiting. Dr. H. was very hands on, and wasn’t afraid to jump in and even drew my blood when things were busy. Now that’s different! The staff is the same way. Antoinette called me personally with all my results and even called to check on me when I was scared our IVF hadn’t worked. I am happy to report that I am now 25 weeks pregnant with twins, a little boy and a little girl. My family is on its way to being complete after many, many years of heartache. And as I told Dr. Haddad on the card I wrote on my last visit with him, I thank him from the bottom of my uterus!!

I wish by reading my story you see it as a positive outcome and it gives you high hope throughout your journey of trying to conceive.
MY STORY…My husband and I had many unsuccessful rounds of fertility treatments including clomid and IUI over a span of 3.5 years. In January 2006, we agreed that if this round doesn’t work, that would be it for us. We couldn’t physically, emotionally or financially endure the same negative results anymore.
I know GOD had been watching over us because in February 2006…exactly one month after deciding to “quit”…I was hired as a permanent employee by the company that I had been working contract for. After questioning our HR representative about fertility coverage with our insurance I quickly found out that IVF was covered 100% for up to three cycles in a lifetime...which is VERY unheard of in the state of Texas. It sounded too good to be true!!! I immediately called my dr and he was also shocked to hear of the coverage. He said that I should immediately proceed with the IVF before the company realizes that they have done…LOL. He referred me to a very successful Reproductive Endocrinologist that he refers all of his IVF patients to…Dr. Jimmie Gill with the Houston Fertility Institute. I was able to schedule my first appointment in April 2006 and we did our first round of IVF in June 2006. At the retrieval they removed 9 follicles and three days later we had 3 embryos transferred. 14 days after the tr ansfer I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive but I didn’t want to get too excited until it was confirmed by the results of our blood work. Around 1:00 pm we got the call that would forever change our lives…I was FINALLY pregnant. It was what we had been waiting to hear for almost 4 years.
I delivered a healthy baby boy on February 6, 2007 at 10:07 am. His name is Kadyn and at birth he weighed 6lbs 12.5oz. and was 20.5 inches long. I can honestly tell you that every time I look into his eyes…I think of Dr. Gill, Dr. DeSplinter and all of their staff. Without them…we wouldn’t have been blessed with this miracle baby that we have always dreamed about. I will forever be grateful that I have been given this opportunity that had such positive results for our family and it all goes to the Houston Fertility Institute.
I don’t know what the future holds for our family but I can only continue to think GOD is still looking down on us and will one day bless our family with a 2nd child the same way he did with our 1st. If that means we have to do IVF again…I will definitely be using Dr. Gill and his staff at the Houston Fertility Institute.
With much appreciation,

My husband and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary this year - I mean, REALLY celebrating, because this year our dreams came true, with the help of The Houston Fertility Institute. Last year, we had pretty much given up on our hopes for a child of our own. We heard about HFI and made an appointment to see Dr. Gill. The course of action that he recommended for our situation was IVF. Upon making the decision to go forward, HFI immediately began providing us with all of the information that we needed to begin our journey. It was overwhelming at first, but the staff was there every time to answer all of our questions and help us prepare for the procedure. With IVF, it was necessary for me to visit the office 3 times a week for bloodwork and ultrasounds for the month leading up to our procedure. Its almost as though I became a part of the "family" at HFI during this period - I looked forward to my visits, knowing that these people had a true understanding of what I was going through both emotionally and physically (not only because of my lifetime longing for a child, but also because of the physiological and emotional effects of the treatment leading up to the procedure).
At each visit, the staff spent focused time with me, explaining every step of the way what was progressing, what I needed to do, and what to expect. On the day of the retrieval, we were very nervous, but Dr. Gill made us feel so assured. The week came when we were to do the pregnancy test. To our surprise, the staff called us prior to the date of the test to let us know that I was pregnant - they could already tell by the bloodwork, and didn't even want us to have to wait two more days to find out. It was one of the most memorable days of our life!
From that point, we visited the office 3 times a week for the next 10 weeks of my pregnancy. Again, I looked forward to seeing the staff at every visit. Any time I felt scared or concerned, the office would see us or contact us immediately. Now, our son Reagan is almost 3 months old. He is perfect! We couldn't be happier! I recently had the privilege of introducing him to Dr. Gill personally - needless to say, my heart was overflowing with emotion that day.
From my husband and myself, to our entire family and all of our friends, we can never express enough gratitude to Dr. Gill and the entire staff at HFI for what they have done for us. These people really do help people to make their dreams come true! Our lives have been changed by the realization of our new family, and we could never have done it without HFI - our deepest and most heartfelt thanks and appreciation goes out to you!
With adoration and thanks,
- Rhonda and Corey
It was such a wonderful experience working with Dr. Gill and his staff. They were always more than willing to answer our questions & always addressed our individual concerns. Dr. Gill was quickly able to give us the results we were looking for. We now have a beautiful baby girl that wouldn't have been possible without all the staff from Houston Fertility Institute We love referring other couples because of the great experience we had. Dr. Gill has a great way of relating to his patients and he is always up front and honest. We can't wait to go back again. Thanks again Houston Fertility Institute for making our dreams come true!!

When I came to HFI, I was at a point of absolute frustration with my body, my infertile condition and the fact that there are so many clinics that are waiting to take advantage of this situation. My husband and I had already spent thousands of dollars trying to get pregnant. My girlfriend heard the ad (Houston Fertility Clinic on 96.5) and knowing what my husband and I had already gone through, she called me. My husband and I were apprehensive at first because of our previous experience with this. When we met with the staff, consisting of Dr. Gill and Mary Lou, they made us feel like the world had not ended and that with proper medical treatment there was a strong possibility that we would indeed have a successful pregnancy. They did everything they could to reassure us, without giving us false hope, that we would have a family. Dr. Gill always had time to speak with me about my concerns and walked my husband and I through the whole process, both professionally and emotionally. I'll never forget the calm I felt the day I met with Dr. Gill and Mary Lu. It was the first time in 2 ½ years that I felt hope. Today we have a 21 month old, absolutely perfect, gorgeous, healthy little girl that is the definition of our lives. If we could have written to God what to put in and leave out, this is our child, she amazes us on a daily basis. You never know the definition of perfection until you see your child and all the struggle and the money spent, it becomes the most insignificant detail. I thank God every day that there truly is a group of people in the world that want to make families complete like Dr. Gill does. I recommend HFI to any and everyone who is at a point of frustration like we were. Thank you Dr. Gill and his staff for completing us.

After many sad years battling with infertility, numerous doctors and procedures that just did not work for me, I was so happy to have found Dr. Gill and his wonderful staff. I remember how my husband and I were going to give up trying to have a baby; then someone told us to go see Dr. Gill. A week later we made our appointment. From the very first time meeting with Dr. Gill he made us feel like no other doctor had. By the end of our appointment we were so optimistic and confident that if anyone was going to help us have a baby, it would be him. It was hard at times because many of the infertility treatments did not work for me and Dr. Gill had to create a treatment plan that my body would accept. But through it all the staff was amazing and so understanding and Dr. Gill was so patient, caring and always encouraged me that I had to hang in there even when I wanted to give up. I'm glad we made the choice to go see Dr. Gill because my husband and I are now proud parents of a beautiful baby girl and we owe it all to him and his caring staff.

After trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for 1 year I spoke to my OB/GYN who started me on Clomid. After 3 unsuccessful cycles of Clomid my husband and I decided it was time to see a fertility specialist. I did a lot of research online and found many people singing the praises of Dr. Gill, so I made an appointment. At our initial consultation I understood why so many people thought so highly of Dr. Gill and his team. My husband and I were very nervous, but everyone on the staff made us feel comfortable and hopeful. Dr. Gill recommended IVF with ICSI, but due to insurance reasons we decided to do IUI. All together we did 6 unsuccessful IUI cycles. Each failure was very disappointing and emotional, but Dr. Gill and his team kept us hopeful. They were always available to answer questions and my phone calls were always returned promptly, even after business hours. We finally decided to take Dr. Gill's initial recommendation and were successful with our first IVF. We now have beautiful 4 month old twin girls! We thank everyone involved with Houston Fertility Institute for helping us achieve our dream of parenthood!
With much thanks,
- Darla
My experience with Houston Fertility Institute was wonderful. Dr. Gill and his staff were very warm and caring. Both my husband and I were very pleased with the way things were handled and explained, we never felt lost or in the dark about anything. To me this is very important when you're going through a process like IVF. I want everyone to know what a wonderful experience I had with the staff at Houston Fertility Institute. Everyone from the nurses to the receptionist were understanding, patient and kind, no matter how may questions I asked, and they were numerous, they were always patient. I cannot express how wonderful that was. I want to thank Dr. Gill and his staff for all the help and understanding. I am proud to say we are parents of twins, a baby girl and baby boy. Thanks Dr. Gill for making our dream come true.

I would like to start this letter by saying thank you to Dr. Gill, Dr. DeSplinter and all of the staff at Houston Fertility Institute. Your support, encouragement and patience were above and beyond.
We were very lucky with our daughter considering I became pregnant on the second round of treatment. Two months after she was born we started trying again thinking it would not take much. However, it was two years following, before I became pregnant with our son, this time was very difficult for my husband and I. We kept telling ourselves that there is a certain soul we are intended to have and it was just a matter of time. The extra support we received from Dr. Gill and the nurses helped us through each battle. There were numerous months of shots, miscarriages, heart ache and anger but Dr. Gill was always there telling me that he will do everything in his power to overcome my physical hurdles as long as we were willing to continue. He also monitored my mental stability and reminded me not to lose sight of the precious gift of our baby girl.
The mental, physical and financial stress that infertility creates is extreme but Dr. Gill and his staff helped us create a path to get through. If it had not been for that path we would not have our precious angels that create our family. Words can not express our gratitude, admiration and respect, for Dr. Gill and Houston Fertility Institute... Thank You.

My husband and I had basically given up all hope of ever becoming parents after my many years of battling infertility. I had gone through many procedures in the past and nothing seemed to work for me. We came to the realization that we would not be parents and accepted that as our reality. Or so we thought. After going in for a check up, my OB recommended my husband and I go see Dr. Gill. I thought to myself here we go again, but I will listen and see what he has to say. From the minute we walked in the door we felt right at home. Our first visit with Dr. Gill was so very different from anything I had expected. He spent time with us going over my history and within a few minutes told me what our problems were. He also explained to us there was no reason why we could not have a child of our own. Much to my surprise our future changed that very minute, we went from thinking we would never have a child to yes we would have a child. I am very happy to say I am now 8 ½ weeks pregnant. Without the care and support of the whole staff this dream would not be coming true for us. We are counting down the days that our baby will be here for us to hold in our arms.
Infertility is a roller coaster ride with more ups and downs than I can ever explain, but with a Doctor like Jimmy Gill on your side it is well worth everything you go through knowing you will have a baby in the end. I truly believe Dr. Gill has one goal in mind and that is to see that all of his patients are as happy as we are in the end.

On February 4, 2004, we were told about Dr. Gill's fertility practice by a labor/delivery nurse who had just given birth to a beautiful baby boy thanks to his help. My husband and I live in Austin, TX and had looked high and low for someone of his caliber and found plenty of quacks who were either incompetent or just in it for the money.
Shortly after discovering his practice at the Houston Fertility Institute, my husband and I were well on our way. We had a few disappointments in the beginning, as my body would not respond to the drugs as it was supposed to at first, but it didn't take long to get around that. Five months after our first meeting, I was pregnant with twin boys.
Dr. Gill was amazing. However, he doesn't do it all alone. His colleagues are just as knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated as he is. They are all up to date on the latest procedures and medications and are very skilled in determining just what is the right protocol for you.
It's hard to believe a year has passed already and we are about to welcome two little boys into our world. We continue to this day to thank God for our little miracles and for His use of Dr. Gill and his colleagues.

After trying unsuccessfully for more than 2 years to get pregnant, I was referred to a fertility specialist. Like most people in this situation I was scared to death and expecting the worst. Then, upon my first visit with Dr. Gill and his incredible staff at Houston Fertility Institute, I felt almost instant comfort and optimism. Everyone was so patient, considerate and understanding off all the questions and concerns that my husband and I had. They were also sensitive to the emotional impact it had on us. Throughout all of the tests and treatments, I felt more like I was dealing with friends than a doctor's office!
Now, just a year later, I am 4 ½ months pregnant with twins and we couldn't be happier! Everyone at HFI went to great lengths to not only give me the best medical care possible, but to also provide information and encouragement. I was never treated as "just another patient." The process wasn't always easy, but HFI turned a very difficult time into one of the most special experiences of our lives.

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for almost two years. We have been to numerous doctors, which were mostly a waste of time and led to many heartaches. Finally, we were blessed with the findings of Dr. Gill at Houston Fertility Institute. From the moment we started treatment with Dr. Gill, we knew he was different than all the other doctors. I had so much faith in him and knew he would do everything he could to help my husband and I become a family.
Through it all, Dr. Gill and his staff were there to listen and talk. They were a wonderful source of support.
I went to see Dr. Gill a few days ago because I was having some pain. I wasn't due for my two-week pregnancy test for four more days. My pregnancy test came back positive!
To all of you out there who are going through this hard battle, Dr. Gill will get you there! I believe in his practice and know he could do the same for anyone. He and his staff will make it an easier road to travel down and give you your angel too. I will never forget what he did for my husband and me. He has enabled my dreams to come true and my prayers are finally answered.

Let me start by saying that I have seen many doctors throughout my adult life in an attempt to get pregnant. I was told many different things, but the main consensus was that while they could not find any medical reason for my problems, I was simply infertile. My husband and I had started adoption proceedings in our attempt to complete our family. However, I decided that I had to try one more time to get pregnant on my own. My husband and I went in for our consultation fully expecting Dr. Gill to tell us there was no hope. I just needed him to tell me to forget it so I could move forward with adoption. He didn't!! He gave us hope. He and his staff walked us through every option we had and discussed the possibilities with us in a clear manner we both understood. Within two months I was pregnant with twins!!
I am unable to describe in words the incredible support, compassion and empathy that we both received from Dr. Gill and his staff. Both my husband and I were able to get in touch with either Dr. Gill or his nurse anytime with any question we had. Infertility treatment is a highly stressful, highly emotional process to go through. Dr. Gill and his staff never made us feel as though our questions were stupid, or that we were inconveniencing them in any way. His positive attitude helped us to keep our spirits up during a very trying time. There was never a doubt in our mind that Dr. Gill and his staff truly cared about us and were going to do everything in their power to see our dream of having a baby come true.

Earlier this year, I visited Houston Fertility Institute and Dr. Gill after having infertility treatment elsewhere since June 2000. Dr. Gill is very knowledgeable about infertility treatment and has available the latest technologies to help assist treatment. After undergoing treatment with in-vitro fertilization, I am now happily pregnant with twins. I would highly recommend Dr. Gill and the Houston Fertility Institute. The staff and nurses, are so caring and professional and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Gill not only monitors closely before the surgical procedures, but he monitors very closely afterward as well, which I believe made the difference in the positive result for me.
