I've been with QFG for about 7 years and have tried 3 different Doctors. Dr. Chang, Dr. Keeping and am now with Dr. Yazdani.
Dr. Keeping is a lovely doctor and is very caring - but I had to leave his surgery as he only seemed interested in keeping me on the ivf rollercoaster and encouraged me to be persistent when I asked for some tests following 5 years of failure. One of the QFG nurses have since told me that that his real focus is in obgyn and ivf is just a sideline.
I then took fate into my own hands and found Dr. Yazdani. The guy is a genious. He has a lovely bed-side manner and actually even talks to my husband (rare in IVF land). He is very particular and did simple tests which proved I had real infertility issues which required surgery. He has the personal touch and it a true specialist. He's only recently joined QFG. I guess my recommendations come from other nurses/doctors and once I mention I'm seeing Dr. Yazdani - they all know him and his very extroverted personality but comment that they want him looking after them or their partner.
I hope that helps!
Tarnya - finally TTC again and is awaiting EPU on Wednesday 28/1/2010
AFter having grade 5 endometriosis removed I was referred to QFG Dr De Ambrosis for IVF. He tested my DH and I for everything. We basically spent the first day there having blood sucked! After everything was clear we started our cycle of IVF/ICSI and were blessed to fall first go wtih Warren.
We really loved our FS he was just so laid back and down to earth, and made us feel so relaxed. Above all he listened to us and our wants and needs. If we wanted to be tested for something obscure it was never a problem ~ he would just go ahead and order the test.
The other great thing about Warren is that he only does IVF, so this is where his sole interest lies. He isn't running off to deliver babies or do gynea surgery... Its all about IVF with him and getting you pregnant!
I have to say that I agree with TiggerLinda - Dr Das at "City Fertility" in Brisbane is AMAZING!!! Thanks for recommending him. We are happily pregnant with our first and will def go back to Dr Das for our 2nd.
This IVF clinic have chosen not to market themselves using stats like some of the other clinics because as they explained it is too difficult to show an accurate picture and can be false info - much like the famous and pioneering "Sydney Fertility Clinic".
When we moved up from Sydney, where I was being treated at SFC, I was nervous I wouldn't find anyone as good as my FS there. But I have.
I was a very difficult case with endo etc etc etc. And Dr Das did his magic. His manner is so calm and gentle, he really looks after you. If his background and highly regarded credentials aren't enough to convince you, then I don't know what is.
The receptionists, nurses and lab staff deserve a special mention. They were always lovely, compassionate and a delight to deal with.
I hear so much about QFG. The masses seem to go there. But I have to say they are missing out by not considering this wonderful clinic too. Brisbane's best kept secret.
