Reviews
After 5 years of fertility struggles, we managed to get pregnant at our very first try at IVF with Dr Monikaa Chawla, from Faikh IVF. Dr Monika was the second Dr we consulted and we immediately felt convinced to go ahead with the procedure. Thank god for that, I am now 12 weeks pregnant!
We are so glad we chose Dr Monika. She’s definitely one of the best fertility doctors in Abu Dhabi. I have seen lots of couples from UAE and from outside UAE getting treatment from her. She’s really the best in what she does!
The nurses and staffs there are really amazing. My whole IVF treatment lasted for about 2 months. The staffs there are very professional and nice. Be it the person who takes your blood or the nurse who jabs you or the nurse who does the Ultrasound. Each and everyone of them made my IVF journey a pleasant one. It wasn’t at all terrifying.
Lastly, I would like to say a HUGE thanks to Dr Monica, the anesthesiologist, and nurses who helped me during my during my final stage of the IVF treatment. They were very supportive, made the whole procedure seem less terrifying! You guys were GREAT!
We are already planning to go to Dr Monika for our second child if we still have issues getting pregnant naturally. :)
PS : The only bad thing I have to say about the clinic is that, say if your appointment with the Doctor is at 11 am, by the time you see the doc will be around 12pm. I guess thats pretty normal in Abu Dhabi.I had a similar experience at another IVF clinic in Abu Dhabi :)
We are in process of IVF with Dr.Monica. She and her team are very supported and we hope and pray to Allah that it will successful . We need your prays .
Dreams really do come true”. After years of infertility and struggling to have kids, we met Dr. Monikaa Chawla at Fakih IVF. Dr. Monikaa gave us hope, when we thought all hope was lost. She is a true professional and it was her patience and expert guidance that helped us achieve our dream. Today I am 13 weeks pregnant and soon to become parents! The staff at Fakih IVF is kind, proficient, caring and just overall amazing. Words can’t express how grateful we are for everything Fakih IVF has done in helping us achieve the greatest gift ever! From the expertise, professionalism, to caring staff, we feel indebted and fortunate. Thank you so much. Fakih IVF is the Best!!!!
All praise is for Allah. We are thankful to Allah Almighty for guiding us to Fakih IVF clinic. We found the facilities to be state of the art and the doctors and staff at the clinic to be extremely professional and helpful. We are especially grateful to Dr. Monika Chawla who provided exceptional care and best possible treatment and procedures available internationally. We previously had a failed IVF cycle and were not sure about the procedure. Dr. Monika provided us great counselling and gave us hope to go through our second IVF cycle with latest treatments. Based on her suggested IVF procedures, medicines and cycle I have successfully conceived and now in my first trimester. We are extremely satisfied and happy with Fakih IVF clinic and hope that more couples will find their dreams come true with them.
Thank you Dr MONIKAA for fulfilling my dream of motherhood . I have twins now 3 mnths old and so grateful for your expertise and being there for me in this journey . God bless !
We want to THANK Dr. Monika Chawla and her dedicated medical team who made our dream comes true. we have just been blessed with baby girl. Million THANKS to Dr, Monika and God bless you and your medical team.
"Making Little Miracles Every Day"
This is the perfect tagline being used by Fakih IVF.
Tons of thanks to respectable Dr. Monika and her team for the marvelous results!!!
100% desired result within very first cycle, amazing success rate :)
With online search we thought of checking the option of Fakih Abu Dhabi.
Being international patient, initial communication started with emails, phone calls and providing all the medical history. Email response was quick and clear. Few medical tests were requested to be completed in our home country.
We were shocked with Low AMH result and internet search results made us really nervous.
I still remember my first appointment with Dr. Monika. One page long list of various queries was with me for her but she answered each and every query to my satisfaction and cleared all the doubts. Low AMH fear was subsided and confidence, positive approach, expertise in the field of infertility, humble/caring attitude of Dr. Monika made our decision to continue IVF in same center. List of queries was replaced with list of medical tests need to be performed before starting the treatment. Even some medication was also prescribed which we continued from next day.
Within one month we completed all the tests and we were in Abu Dhabi to start the treatment.
Treatment was started and all other staff also found to be very supportive and co-operative. Every day injections were our daily routine and continued as per protocol. We enjoyed Dubai/Abu Dhabi must visit places in between.
We were worried due to less numbers of eggs as expected being low AMH. But again positive approach of Dr. Monika gave us new hopes. Egg retrieval happened without any complication. Call regarding fertilization of eggs strengthened our hopes. Call for 5th day blastocyst transfer brought a big smile on our face. Embryo transfer was performed and some medications were continued.
We returned to our home country and first blood test confirmed the pregnancy. Follow up calls from Fakih IVF were really pleasant. Follow up from Dr. Monika regarding pregnancy is still continued.
We got the best treatment and now continuing with pregnancy of 15 weeks.
Once again many thanks to Dr. Monika and her team!!!
After being trying to conceive for 6 years and having no result at all with various treatments of western medicine and Ayurveda , we had almost given up the idea of even becoming family . I had an history of PCOS and Endometriosis. And I am also a victim of Hypothyroidism. When were about to give up the idea as no prayers and blessings were working on us. We came across FAKIH IVF clinic and randomly booked an appointment with Dr Monikaa . Dr Monikaa gave us the Hope and Positivity we were looking for all this time where at other places we were shattered with the complications we have but without providing us solutions. Dr. Monikaa prepared me for the IVF with the constant monitoring and the best possible advice. I did not have any self confidence that I could ever be pregnant because that is what you automatically start to think with your experiences. As much as I start meeting her I started have my self-confidence back. “yes I can do this” .. Finally we went through process of IVF . Everything was carried out very smoothly and precisely Fakih IVF has all the amazing people who could take of you. From doctors to the even the Core staff. They were very attentive to me and took care of my every need. Constantly checked upon me and always were informative. Today thanks to Dr Monikaa and the team we are Blessed with a healthy pregnancy of Twins. They did everything possible to make the process easy and smooth for us.
Every Dr can tell you what problems you have. But only Special Doctors does put their effort to find solutions for you. I am Blessed and glad god showed me the way to Dr Monikaa & Fakih IVF . Once again we want to thank the whole team at Fakih IVF for the amazing service and giving us our little miracles we were waiting for all this time . Thank you So much.
