Doctor Hammoud discussed every option that we have - thoroughly. Additionally, he answered all of our questions with no concern for time. I left the office feeling very well informed and ready to take the next step.

May 03, 2013

April 25, 2013

he was nice but really rough during the ultra sound!

April 23, 2013

Dr. Hammoud was amazing. he was highly recommended by two very good friends. After being told basics of my condition, PCOS I wasn't very hopeful on conceiving. Dr. Hammoud gave us detailed information within 10 minutes of our appt.

April 22, 2013

This doctor was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable an showed a general interest in my case. He sat at my level, and was focused on me the whole time. He made me feel comfortable and welcome as well as that I was his top priority at that time.

April 19, 2013

I felt like Dr. Hammoud wasn't explanatory about the quality of the embryos/the likelihood of pregnancy. I felt like I didn't get all the answers I wanted. The problem could have been that I didn't know what questions to ask, but I didn't know what questions to ask since this was my first time experiencing IVF!

April 16, 2013

Dr. Hammoud is exceptional. He always takes the time to answer questions and he never dismisses new ideas. He has great bedside manner and has always made me feel very comfortable. I've been impressed with his abilities relating to ultrasounds. He has always been able to see issues easily and can bare bad news with care.

April 10, 2013

Dr. Hammoud is amazing - smart and kind.

April 08, 2013

Dr. Hammoud is exceptional. I am very confident in his abilities/skills and appreciate that he takes the time to listen.

Dr. Hammoud is a great physician. Caring and concerned and positive. It's been a great experience working with him.

March 26, 2013

Dr. Hammoud spent about 40 minuts with me explaining future treatment plans and addressing my questions and concerns.

March 25, 2013

We love Dr. Hammoud. He can make you laugh, is straight forward, answers any questions we had, very caring and just a good guy. We are blessed to have found him - and so quickly too!

March 25, 2013

Dr. Hammoud is very kind and very knowledgeable. He takes time to discuss and answer questions. I have been very pleased with him as my doctor.

March 12, 2013

Dr. Hammoud is wonderful. He takes time to explain everything and responded quickly to my MyChart email on Saturday and Sunday. I would highly recommend him to others.

March 12, 2013

Dr. Hammoud is a wonderful doctor. I really like him and feel that he reàlly cares about me as his patient.

March 08, 2013

Dr Hammoud is kind, knowledgeable and gets to know his patients. He's very honest and upfront with the facts, but always maintains a positive outlook, which is a quality that can be hard to find in a doctor. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Hammoud and his staff and would highly recommend him to anyone experiencing fertility issues.

March 06, 2013

The doctor is always so kind and makes me feel comfortable each time. I usually feel weird seeing a male doctor for womanly problems but he doesn't and seems to understands me and helps me by encouragement.

March 04, 2013

The list of positive attributes that Dr. Hammoud and his staff have is endless! I have always felt like he cares about my situation specifically and I appreciate that he is open to new ideas. Dr. Hammoud is very knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. The list goes on and on!

March 04, 2013

I've already recommend him to multiple people!

February 27, 2013

I love Dr. Hammoud! I don't believe I've ever felt as comfortable with a physician--not even with my PCP of 15+ years. Dr. Hammoud is gifted with the ability to establish a great patient-physician rapport.

February 27, 2013

In all cases Dr Hammoud provided the maximum information and outlined each step of every procedure.

February 26, 2013

Dr. Hammoud is the best doctor a woman trying to conceive could get. He really understands the sensibility of the subject and has an amazing way to make us feel confident and relax throughout the process. Because of his knowledge and confidence (and the amazing team behind him) I am expecting my first child.

February 26, 2013

I wasn't actually prescribed any medications this visit, but I wish that I had asked more questions regarding the medications suggested in future plans (side effects, etc), or that the care provider had offered that information.

February 25, 2013

I would have liked to have left w/ specific aftercare instructions.

February 19, 2013

I really like dr. Hammoud. Even if he was super busy which I'm sure he was he took time to answer my questions and explain things with out me even asking him to explain it. He has a humble confidence about himself which I really like. He seems to care about getting you pregnant as much as you do but not rushing into either. He makes you feel comfortable to take it slow and keep you calm and at ease.

February 12, 2013

Dr. Hammond is wonderful to work with. He could not be any nicer!!

February 11, 2013

Great experience!

Dr. Hammoud is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone!

January 28, 2013

I really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Hammoud. He was professional, efficient, and very helpful. I appreciated how well he explained things - from what he thought could be going on with me to what his plan of action was. He listened carefully and answered all of my questions. I also appreciated how he had reviewed the medical records we had had sent beforehand so he already knew much of what had been going on and was able to get right to the issue.

January 21, 2013

Dr. Hammoud is great! This appointment was especially exciting as we were able to hear a heartbeat for the first time after a successful IVF! After many years of trying to get pregnant on our own, that was a welcome sound! This clinic definitely means what they say: that their first delivery is hope. Working with Dr. Hammoud last year has been such a positive experience. From day one he presented us with many options and helped guide us through each of those options leading up to IVF. I felt confident in his abilities and expertise each step of the way.

January 14, 2013

Wonderful care. A friend told me about this Dr and I have already referred another friend here. Wonderful care

January 08, 2013

Would have liked a heads up on side effects of the medication I was prescribed. Made me sick so I did some research online to see if that was normal or not.

December 31, 2012

Dr. Hammoud is an amazingly smart and caring doctor.

December 28, 2012

Dr Hammoud is wonderful. So kind and shows so much concern, speaks to me positively about my prognosis and includes me in the discussion about treatment options. He really tries to make the process as easy as possible and I appreciate that!

November 26, 2012

Confidence in my care provider should be a 10! Everyone there was absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have been more please with how the Invitro process went. Your clinic has blessed me with twin babies on the way! I can't thank my doctors and nurses enough! I'm so happy!

November 21, 2012

After my procedure Dr. Hammoud did not come back to talk with me while I was recovering nor did he call to tell me the outcome of my procedure later that day or the next. I ended up emailing him and he gave me some basic information about my procedure. I was not given any printed after care instructions.

November 18, 2012

This was our first visit with an infertility specialist & Dr Hammoud was great in explaining things & giving us options to choose from.

One of the best appointments with a physician that I can recall in a while. Really enjoyed Dr. Hammoud.

Dr. Hammoud is an excellent physician.

October 29, 2012

October 24, 2012

We were impressed with Dr. Hammoud. He explained things well and we could tell he had poured over our chart to come up with our IVF protocol. He made us feel that he understood our situation and cared about us. I appreciated that he asked us lots of questions and let us ask lots of questions.

October 22, 2012

We had a very good consult with Dr. Hammoud regarding plans to begin an IVF cycle soon. He explained the process, answered our questions and was encouraging. We left feeling informed and excited to begin the process.

October 15, 2012

Dr. Hammoud is GREAT! He is always willing to discuss the next steps for our treatment, without making us feeling rushed. I also appreciate his quick response in forwarding test results, etc. via MyChart.

Everyone was very helpful, courteous and friendly.

Very responsive and knowledgeable.

August 23, 2012

I was pleased by Dr. Hammoud's knowledge and bedside manner. He inspires trust and confidence.

August 13, 2012

Dr. Hammoud sat us down in his office after the exam and explained our situation, all of the possible reasons for our unexplained infertility and all of our options moving forward. He even asked us what our plans/feelings were instead of assuming that since we were there we were like all other couples seeking infertility help. He was also so very respectful during the exam - I felt more modest and comfortable with him than any other OB/GYN that I have been to.

August 07, 2012

I really appreciated his willingness to answer all of my questions, especially considering how busy they were.

July 27, 2012

My experience with Dr. Hammoud is nothing short of excellent. I am extremely confident about his knowledge and skills, and I am comfortable and relaxed during our encounters. I would highly recommend him to friends or colleagues.

July 09, 2012

Dr. Hammoud is an awesome doctor. Out of all my physicians he's the most caring. He actually takes the time to talk to us. He talks in a nice polite manner and doesn't act arrogant like I'm the doctor and make you feel inferior.

July 09, 2012

Very clear directions were given. i am always EXTREMELY confident with dr. hammoud

June 26, 2012

Dr. Hammoud is the best i have ever dealt with. We had questions at our last Ultrasound follicle check and I was shocked at how much he seemed to care about us and i didn't ever feel that he was in a rush. In fact he even came back and answered more questions. I can't say enough good things about him and his knowledge and ability to explain.

June 20, 2012

I will not shut up about Dr. Hammoud. I have told everyone about how wonderful he is. My last fertility doctor made my experience such a horrible one that i was even questioning looking into another provider and moving forward. Dr. Hammoud is very knowledgable, professional, and kind. i cannot say enough good stuff about him. I am so glad I gave it another shot and landed with him!

June 11, 2012

I thought my doctor was very helpful. He seemed to listen to my concerns and take immediate action upon them. He also took the time to explain a possible diagnosis to my husband and I as well as a plan of action. Overall, I felt a lot more optimistic about my situation leaving the clinic than before I had arrived.

May 17, 2012

My husband and I were both very appreciative of dr. Hammoud taking the time to perform an ultrasound while in the office, thus saving us from scheduling that for another day.

May 15, 2012

I felt very comfortable with Dr. Hammoud and his staff. They were kind, professional, and personable. Made for a great experience.

May 01, 2012

I saw Dr. Hammoud for this visit. He is an excellent doctor. I'm thoroughly impressed with the way that he interacts with his patients, his general demeanor, and how he gives his patients hope during the fertility treatment process. It's not an easy process, and any positive feedback and encouragement from doctors keeps despair at bay. Thank you Dr. Hammoud!

April 26, 2012

I was very impressed. At no time did the Dr. act rushed or made me feel like he needed to be somewhere else. He was patient and kind and took time to answer our questions.

April 18, 2012

We appreciated the knowledge he shared with us and great with how he informed us - a way in which we could understand.

April 17, 2012

Though to be fair, I don't feel like I can fully answer the last couple of questions after only talking to him for 20 minutes.

April 14, 2012

Dr Hammoud took the time to talk to me after my exam to go over my medications and treatment plan. I really appreciated the extra time spent with me.

April 12, 2012

Dr. Hammoud is very patient and helpful. He explained things to us very patiently a number of times so we could fully understand the concepts.

April 11, 2012

We have seen Dr. Hammoud in the past for an IUI treatment about 18 months ago. We have always been thrilled with his service. I'm sure he gets asked the same questions a million times, but he always takes the time to answer our questions like it is the first time he is being asked. He spends a great deal of time with us and makes us feel like our circumstance is just as important to him as any other.

March 31, 2012

Dr Hammoud is a phenomenal physician. He always takes time explaining things to me and expressing his concerns and opinions. He is always so concerned and makes me feel like I am his number one priority. He always does his best to help me and answer all of my questions.

Dr. Hammoud was kind and patient with us. He spent lots of time with us making sure we understood procedures and medical issues. He answered all of our questions. My husband and I both felt he understood and cared about our concerns and situation. Thank you Dr. Hammoud.

March 17, 2012

I enjoyed visiting the facility

March 15, 2012

The Dr I saw before had no clue as to why I couldn't get pregnat, I saw her for a year, she was moving very slow on things. I came into your office and the Dr looked at my test results and said "your not ovulating" it took him about 2 seconds to fgure that out. Since then he has been very aggressive in my treatment and although I am not pregnat yet after 8 months I feel like we are making progress.

March 10, 2012

Love my experience at the U... ALL the staff and providers spend quality one-on-one time to make sure my questions are addressed and to explain the next steps I should take. I have been to quite a few doctors (other places) and have NEVER had this kind of quality time with the doctor. I love it!

March 08, 2012

Dr. Hammoud is very caring and professional from start to finish I feel like he has explained my situation and all procedures so that I understand what is going to happen. I appreciated the kindness shown toward myself and my family. I have had few Dr that I feel completely confident in, but I feel very satisfied with him. I feel like he listens to my concerns and addressees them right there. I also feel like he is compassionate, smart, and truthful. During this stressful time in my life, I am thankful that Dr. Hammoud has been my care provider. I interact with lots of patients, co-worker, friends and family and I feel very confident in recommending him to any of them. Thanks again for all the time taken to help me through this trial in my life.

March 07, 2012

I love Dr. Hammoud. He spent a lot of time with us and he left you with all questions answered.

March 03, 2012

Dr Hammoud is wonderful. He always spends sufficent time with me and makes sure my needs are met and that I understand everything. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

February 28, 2012

February 04, 2012

Recommendation to others will depend on success.

February 03, 2012

Because my doctor does an excellent job, that my aunt told me about him, and now she is jumping with joy that her first child is coming, after waiting for 13 years finally she feels blessed to have know my doctor. so thank u.

January 27, 2012

Though I do like my doctor, if I refer people I will absolutely tell them to be prepared to spend at least 1 1/2- 2 hours there if they choose this provider.

January 18, 2012

This was just a very quick checkpoint. But everyone always treats me wonderfully...like part of the family

January 14, 2012

Dr. Hammoud is kind, patient and knowledgeable. I have already referred some friends to see him.

January 12, 2012

Once I saw Dr. hammoud, he was great!

January 07, 2012

He is very knowledgable, yet when I had serious reservations about his mode of treatment he was unwilling to acknowledge that my past experience with certain medications should direct our current mode of treatment
