If you are or have been a patient of Dr. Garbedians, would you be willing to share your honest opinion (good or bad) of her care and treatment as well as your experience with the clinic in general? I have heard (with no specifics) that she can be over-confident and that worries me quite a bit.
Appreciate any insight you may have! Thanks 😊

I am a former patient of Dr Garbedian and cant recommend her enough. I went through two very unsuccessful cycles at other clinics and Hannam was our last hurrah as I have super low AMH. She was super patient-oriented and really looked at my specific issues, how they would play into retrieval and FET. She focused on egg quality vs quantity in my cycle and I ended up with one embryo. We CGS tested it (really happy we did this, even with one, as it ruled out that I do still have genetically normal eggs in there) and did a natural supplemented FET. Im now 17 weeks pregnant with that embryo (only one cycle). I personally had a wonderful experience with the clinic from nursing team (Aalia super great!) and US techs, always felt like I had a lot of information and Dr Garbedian would often call me herself to discuss progress, tweaks, etc. This is only my experience, perhaps I was lucky, but I am honestly sad she cant deliver this baby ha ha. Good luck with your decision and if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

I did an ERA which came back normal. We decided to do it since we only had one embryo, wanted to do everything we could to avoid another stim cycle. In the FET, I took letrozole and no estrogen at all. I was triggered by Hcg and then only progesterone suppositories. I think my other clinic overloaded me with estrogen and progesterone during transfer and it freaked my body out- it also really helped with first trimester preg symptoms to not be on estrogen! I had a chemical pregnancy and failed FET at my last clinic.
She threw the book at my case and I was willing to try everything, it worked in my case!
