Texas Fertility Center

We are so happy that our OB/GYN referred us to TFC and Dr. Silverberg. We received the most professional and compassionate care from the entire TFC staff. Dr. Silverberg was patient and willing to answer any question we brought him. We never felt rushed by him even when we knew he was very busy. He took our concerns seriously and was very proactive in our treatment. His knowledge, expertise and warmth made it easy for us to trust him and follow his recommendations. As a result, we are expecting a baby boy in April. Thank you TFC, Dr. Silverberg, and Kelli Long for taking such good care of us!

Dr. Silverberg and his entire team worked very efficiently and after only 5 months from our initial meeting, I'm pregnant with twins. He also is a very nice and caring person and made me feel like I was his "most important" patient...even though the waiting room was full. Thank you TFC for my new family members!

This place is amazing like a well oiled machine. Large staff of nurses and medical assistants, all very nice and helpful. Whenever I call I get a return call within an hour. Needless to say, their success rate speaks for itself, and when you're trying to have a baby you don't really care about how nice everyone is, you just want them to be great at their job. Dr. Silverberg is a total sweetheart, but also extremely smart, well researched and great at his job. Dr. Vaughn is just as sweet and well researched although I only saw him a few times when he was on call. I don't know how other IVF clinics work, but these doctors work their tails off. They work 7 days a week, every week. The fact that any of them have spouses and families amazes me. If you are doing IVF, and you need to have a retrieval on a saturday, your doctor will be there, not an on-call doctor. I just couldn't believe that my doctor would be there for everything. I figured out what each doctors schedule is- mon... Read more

My husband and I had been trying to conceive on our own for more than two years, with no results. Less than a year after we met Dr. Silverberg at our first TFC appointment, we got pregnant! Dr. Silverberg is the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is brilliant, has a great sense of humor and cares about each and every one of his patients. He gave us the time we needed, answered all of our questions, presented us with options and ideas and then guided us through the fertility process. Every staff member at the TFC is knowledgeable, personable, efficient and nice. They're all such a great team. Every time I needed them, they were there (all of them! including Dr. Silverberg!) and I needed them daily. Amazing care, fantastic people. We're so happy with the results.

We moved to Austin from New England where we were already working with a fertility clinic. We were lucky enough to be recommended to Dr. Silverberg and TFC. Absolutely amazing team! First of all, you see your doctor (or another doctor if yours is out of town) EVERY visit. I can tell you this is not the case at some offices. Dr. Silverberg is extremely knowledgeable, honest and will spend as much time as you want answering questions – even if it makes him late to see someone else. I had to go to the emergency room on a Saturday night. Dr. Silverberg did not just call in orders and let the ER take care of me, but rather showed up and took unbelievable care of me. After Dr. Silverberg left and I was resting, 4 members of the ER staff came by and told my husband and I what an amazing doctor he was and how they very rarely see a doctor actually come to the ER. His family makes a lot of sacrifices for what he does for all of us and we are very appreciative. We are now expecting twin... Read more

great experience. Dr. Hansard is very professional, gives you as much time as you need to answer questions, and is straight up about dx & txt. twice we had something unexpected happen and both times we were called immediately to give us options. At the very last minute, I was expressing fears about twins and she stopped and asked if we should only transfer 1--a very good listener. Also has a sense of humor--I don't trust drs without one. I highly recommend TFC and Lisa Hansard

I have been a patient of TX Fertility for a few years. The realization of infertility is a hard pill to swallow and not an easy process to go through. I am proof that this Center is top notch!! I am 9 weeks pregnant today!!!! Dr. Silverberg and his staff have been extraordinary, without them I don't believe I would have achieved pregnancy! They are patient and loving! I highly recommend TFC!! Forever Grateful, The Smith's

Geez I cannot believe some of these negative reviews. I understand that the outcome can be disappointing (been THERE 5+ times thanks to attempts in Chicago), but it's not fair if only the minority dissent is heard out here. I've been Dr. Silverberg's patient for 6 months and am so thankful to have found a doctor like him (and his colleagues). We are now successfully pregnant with a singleton, after one IVF cycle. Dr. S is thoughtful, funny, smart and responsible. I'm going to miss occasionally seeing him now that my pregnancy is underway! He cares about his patients... has the bedside manner that is like a good friend. Word of warning... ladies. TFC is the only fertility clinic in Austin. If you are in Austin, and handling fertility issues, do NOT use your OB/GYN to address the issues. You will end up spending all your insurance limit and becoming incredibly frustrated. Go STRAIGHT to TFC and use any of the talented drs there. I saw them all (4) during routine appointments... Read more

Dr. Silverberg is an EXCELLENT doctor with vast knowledge and expertise. He is very talented and cares about his patients and their care. He was involved every step of the way in our treatment and made sure we had all the information necessary to make educated decisions about our treatment. We are thankful for his staff especially his nurse Kellye. She was always so accessible and patient and explained all the medications and treatments. She is very sweet, kind, and professional. We greatly appreciate the support and care she gave us. We recommend TFC to all who are seeking excellent care and helpful, knowledgeable staff. If you are seeking the best in fertility treatment, go to Texas Fertility Center.

I just completed my first IVF cycle with Dr. Silverberg and am successfully pregnant with a singleton. The dr.'s office was incredible the whole time. They worked with my insurance company, accommodated my work travel with weekend apts and took great care of me. They were also sensitive to my desire for success, but also keep the risk of multiples low. Dr. Silverberg is great, I will go back to him in a heartbeat next time around.

Like others have said before, going through infertility is a very stressful time. I was looking forward to our first visit with Texas Fertility to help ease this stress that my wife and I were going through. Unfortunately, we were treated as a number only, pushed in and out as quickly as possible. Our doctor was Dr. Silverberg. We saw him several times, and we had the same experience on each visit. He did a couple checks on my wife, prescribed Chlomid, and sent us on our way. Of course we had lots of questions for him, like why is this happening, what can we do different, and he always seemed like it was a burden to answer them. Knowledge-wise, he is obviously the best and knows his stuff, but he did not make us feel comfortable and did not console us at all. I was always very intimitated to ask him questions and felt like we were wasting his time if we stayed longer than 5 minutes. The last straw we had was when we were scheduled to do an IUI. My wife and I had waited ... Read more

went thru 1st cycle at tx fertlity center. the cycle was exremely stressful and poorly managed. No one was helpful to answer any of my questions. Everytime i asked a question to my IVF nurse, she looked at me like i should already know the answer. i fell through the cracks so to speak. All of this making an already stressful situation, more stressul. There was an accounting mistake done for one of my tests that BTW, i ended paying full price for instead of receiving the discount through txfertility (it was almost 2.5 x's the discounted price!) And be ready to end up paying more than what they breakdown for you. Also, my credit card was charged on the tail end (about 3-4 weeks after my transfer was done) of all this without my approving the charge OR even knowing about it (almost 1000$)! I figured out on my own what the charge was for, but never expected to be charged without prior approval (this was actually done by AustinIVF who work in conjunction with texas fertility).I t...

Dr Silverberg was unbelievable! We had been to 2 other fertility doctors and spent unbelievable amounts of money with no results. On our first visit Dr Silverberg spent more time explaining our options to us than ALL the other doctors combined. He was always there for us and called us from his vacation when we were worried about symptoms ,everything was ok just like he said. He even called personally to tell us when our first cycle didn't work and I wasn't pregnant. Dr Silverberg IS late but I am the reason some of you have had to wait. I had to have emergency surgery while pregnant ,Dr Silverberg was there in the middle of his office day to do the surgery. Happy to report I have a perfectly beautiful set of twins!

Awful place. Accounting can't keep records and double charge. They don't answer phones ever. I tried pregnancy twice with them and while treatment not nurses cared to follow up with me. It might be rated great in 2005 but in 2007/2008 this place is not great. I wish Austin had other choices for fertility treatment but this place.

For those who thought this office was so horrible, you might want to check the CDC.gov web site for National Fertility Center results for 2005 (reporting is 2 years behind). Texas Fertility Center is one of the top centers in the nation with pregnancy rates well over 50% (the National average is only 30%). You decide, want a warm fuzzy or a baby. I got mine...THANKS TFC!!!

I was never able to get anyone on the phone during business hours during my fertility treatment. If I left a message someone will call me eventually late in the afternoon or next day. You must go in person to the clinic to talk to anyone. Accounting is a disaster, I prepaid all my lab work at the Texas Fertility Center with my credit card and after a while I still get bills from the lab. Accounting does not communicate prepayment with the Lab Centers and is very time consuming to have to deal with double payments. This is really stressful! Noone followed up with me over the phone after my fertility treatments. I felt none cared!!

Texas Fertility Center has the most detached, inconsiderate doctors and staff. Two of the nurses are nice and very experienced, but it's obvious the instruction from the doctor is bad. One of the nurses is so obviously completely clueless - very inexperienced and not at all knowledgeable, not even in basic interpersonal communication skills with patients. The "on-call" nurse a, although she was nice enough, most of the time didn't return my calls, and when she did, it was often hours later, unless I called two or three times. The only way to interact with a doctor is to go in to the office (although often times they will try to prevent you from coming in) or put up a huge stink to INSIST that the doctor call you back. Otherwise it's always a nurse calling you with test result numbers, but no interpretation. And often times the staff doesn't even call back with the numbers - you have to call and leave a message (oh did I mention they NEVER answer their phone? You always get voice... Read more
