I am consistently surprised by how many ladies on this site recommend treatment with dr.fakih. Last year I had two failed ivf's with him. Let me start by saying that unless you have done ivf before or are a fertility expert yourself prepare yourself to do a lot of research. dr.fakih and his team don't and won't tell you anything. Doing my first ivf was a very scary time for me. Throughout the whole treatment I only met with fakih once (and that was only after chasing for weeks) and his team never took the time to sit and explains the process to me or what the next steps were. The clinic is EXTREMELY busy. You can expect to have waiting times of more than an hour for a simple follicle scan or blood test. There is a real production line feeling about the whole place. Both of my ivf's failed. After both failures dr.fakih and his team just shrugged their shoulders and said "oh well, try again". I went to my home country to see a specialist who insisted that my husband and I do a karyotype to have a look at our chromosomes. Apparently a standard test he carries out for all couples that start treatment with him. It turns out that my husband has a balanced translocation and that the chances of us conceiving a normal child are about 15% and that we would have to do a complex set of genetic tests on our embryos. Thank god I went to him before I got more shoulder shrugging and spent another 50000 aed for more impersonal, ineffective treatment from fakih and his team. On a final note, when I went to fakih to pick up my file (it took me 10 days to get them to provide me a copy) my name had been spelt wrong on nearly all of the tests. One one important hcg test,the first one to determine pregnancy had someone else's name was printed on the paper, scratched out and mine handwritten over it. If you are looking for a supportive, informative and thorough ivf treatment I would recommend that you give fakih and his team a very wide berth.
