Where do I begin talking about Dr. Silverberg?! Hands down, he is the BEST fertility doctor here in Austin (and probably even in the world according to my current OBGYN). He is a HUGE asset to the fertility world without exaggeration. He is very knowledgeable, confident, very professional and honest(does not sugarcoat your issue and finds a solution for it!) about his expertise in fertility medicine!

I have struggled to conceive since my first miscarriage in 2019 and two of the fertility doctors I had (when I was in my previous state) were very mediocre regarding their practices and procedures on me personally(not trying to undermine them). I felt that they were doing the bare minimum and haven't had confidence with them. Long story short, my husband and I moved to Austin in late 2020 and started my fertility journey with Dr. Silverberg after reading all the good reviews about him. Indeed, he is way more than the reviews describe his expertise, I was blown away on the FIRST day we met him, when he was able to suspect the problem I had, without first checking me with the sonogram.

He found a huge cyst in fact two, that the other doctors missed even after doing other procedures to find faults in the uterus! I knew right then, that I made the BEST choice coming to him. My case and the issue I had, was very complicated as I was not responding to all the fertility meds and was not producing the needed eggs and my blood estrogen level was shooting up like I was producing 40 something eggs.

But he was very flexible and quick in handling my issue and pulled through all that and helped us get pregnant by march 2022 after a successful second transfer. My husband actually jokes and says "this dude can do anything with his eyes blinded folded!" I am telling you, he is that confident and knowledgeable. It was a long process but I NEVER had a single doubt like I had with my previous doctors that he would fail/miss key procedures.

He was always a step ahead and I had a 200000000% confidence in him and I was always relaxed overall with him as my fertility specialist because, at the end of the day if it had not worked, I knew it wasn't from lack of his expertise but luck! It is amazing to be able to find a good doctor and not have to worry about their work as the fertility world is definitely a hard environment to navigate around!

The very same thing goes to his nurses and all the TFC employees, they are always on the top of the game! They NEVER even for once miss any of your calls, paperwork and everything about your situation even though they are very busy!

Thanks to Dr. Silverberg and the amazing TFC team, we are 16 weeks pregnant with a little boy! I never thought we would need fertility treatment, but when it became evident we would not be magically getting pregnant on our own, we came to TFC. Every single person there went out of their way to make our experience as easy as possible, and we always felt loved.

From making the first appointment, to getting that call from the nurse congratulating me on my pregnancy, they were all just the sweetest and I couldn't recommend this place more. 5 stars. Would get pregnant here again :

I have nothing but good things to say about Texas fertility, especially my Dr. Kaylen Silverberg. We've been to 3 different fertility clinics due to moving here from nyc and then again, needing a second opinion. Dr. Silverberg was thorough, never rushed me, gave me the hard facts while having empathy for our circumstances. He is kind, respectful, very attentive and when needed, saw us without question. Highly recommend their practice and request Silverberg

Dr. Kaylen Silverberg is hands down, the best. We were seeing Dr. Amanda Skillern for two rounds of what was potentially unnecessary IVF treatments (two egg retrievals and 3 implantations). After our results were only getting worse, we decided to switch and found Dr. Silverberg through researching and reading reviews. He successfully diagnosed endometriosis, did the surgery, and was thoughtful enough to do a hysteroscopy while I was already under anesthesia and found I had several polyps in my uterus.

Our last doctor was completely un-concerned with getting to the root of our infertility. We were an open checkbook to her. With Dr. Silverberg it was the complete opposite. He even told us after the surgery to try naturally for as long as we felt comfortable, which we've been doing happily! He was not pushy at all, answered all of our questions no matter how silly and was so genuinely empathetic toward what we had gone through.

It was like night and day compared to our past experience with Skillern. I was honestly hesitant to see a male doctor, I thought I would be more comfortable with a woman but I was completely wrong. He took his time with us, listened to us, asked a lot of questions and was 100% in our corner. It was obvious very quickly that he was investigating and trying to figure out what was happening to us instead of just blindly signing us up for the most expensive treatments.

We spent more time with him in that month leading up to and including the surgery than Dr. Skillern had in the year and a half we were under her "care". If you're considering going with anyone else - do yourself a solid and just schedule a consult with Dr. Silverberg. He is fantastic, has a great facility with a team of people that know what they're doing. Dr. Skillern's only saving grace is two staff members - Mel and Rikki, who are wonderful humans, but other than that, it was the worst experience of my life. Dr. Silverberg on the other hand is absolutely amazing. We've been trying naturally and been able to feel normal again thanks to him for the past few months.

Even though we've not gotten pregnant yet, my husband and I feel so much more at ease knowing that if we need further treatment, we're actually with a fantastic and ethical doctor who means the oath he took to do no harm. Completely thoughtful, thorough, insightful, knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic and has a pretty good sense of humor which always helps! I can't say enough good things about him and TFC in general.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with the most amazing and caring doctor in Texas Fertility Center Dr. Thomas C. Vaughn. We did two IFV protocols with him and eventually a frozen transfer which was successful and we got our twins, our tested frozen embryo split in to to identical twins. Unfortunately I has a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks.

I am so thankful that I had a chance to work with this doctor and his team. Dr. Vaughn is very knowledgeable and his bedside manner is incredible. The best day of my life was when we graduated from Dr. Vaughn's clinic and were on the way to a healthy pregnancy unfortunately God had other plans for us. I still have some embryos left and I will be working with this amazing doctor this year again. I am grateful forever that doctor helped me to get pregnant and be a mother to twin baby girls even this was only for 3 months, it was the happiest three months of my life.

Dr. Propst and his team are the best. He spoke to my husband and I like people and treated us with compassion. The people at TFC made our dreams of being parents come true. 10/10 recommend TFC to anyone struggling with infertility. Love this Dr office

I can't begin to say how much we love Dr. Silverberg and Texas Fertility Center. He has been such a blessing in our fertility journey. He takes the time to make sure you understand everything and doesn't make you feel rushed ever. I love the fact that he is honest and compassionate at the same time. We are now pregnant with our first child and couldn't be happier. Honestly we wish Dr. Silverberg could be our OBGYN we love him so much. If you're wondering if Texas Fertility Center is the right place for you, I can't stress enough that it is.

We worked with Dr. Propst, and he is absolutely wonderful. Super caring, understanding, and helpful. And the nurses are always willing to answer a call or email if you have any questions. We faced a lot of obstacles and hardships through the process, throughout which, they were always there for us and truly cared. And I'm the end we got our happy ending! I am currently pregnant with twins! TFC is amazing and we were very lucky to have them with us! Highly recommend them!

My partner and I made an appointment with Dr. Silverberg after seeing the positive reviews he and his practice had received and Dr. Silverberg's fulsome published work on fertility. We were told to allocate approximately 45 minutes for our initial consultation. We arrived on time for our 9:00 a.m. appointment (this the earliest appointment available in the mornings per the scheduler) and were promptly called back by a nurse to go over medical history and preliminary questions.

The front desk staff and the nurse we worked with were polite and knowledgeable. After the nurse left, we were instructed to wait for Dr. Silverberg in his office. By 9:30 he had not arrived and my partner and I decided to let the front desk know we would be leaving. We were quoted an approximate $350 charge for the consultation and did not feel it was appropriate to pay that much for what would be a rushed 15-20 minute conversation, assuming Dr. Silverberg would have even showed up immediately after 9:30.

I cannot speak for Dr. Silverberg's skillset as a physician but his professionalism with us left much to be desired. Based on our experience, I recommend working with one of the other highly rated fertility specialists in Austin if you have a hectic work schedule.

Dr. Vaughn is a true gem. I don't ever write reviews, but I knew I had to write one about Dr. Vaughn because my experience with him has been nothing but remarkable. He truly cares about his patients, which is apparent in each and every interaction with him. His bedside manor is nothing I've ever experienced. Anyone that is fortunate enough to see him as a patient is very lucky! He's the best of the best!

Dr. Vaughn and his team were great. They did all kinds of testing and tried less invasive procedures before moving on to IVF. Pam and the rest of the nurses were so helpful and explained everything to us. We are happy to report we now have a newborn. We intend on going back again for baby #2.

Dr Vaughn was fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better REI. He is experienced, knowledgeable, very professional and kind. From our first appointment to the last (we are pregnant!) he took time to explain every procedure in detail. He was patient to answer our many questions too. I would definitely recommend him and his team!

Update: dang Christi S Business Owner, You obviously did not read the review. I couldn't get past your receptionist's attitude to make an appointment with a doctor at your clinic LOL. I'm sure you've helped conceived thousands of babies buuuuuttttt it's probably because you're one of the very few fertility clinics in the area.

If you've gotten 3 of "the same" review then maybe it's time to hire a new receptionist lol. Maybe you can change your 23,000 babies to 100,000 babies with just a friendlier voice at the other end of the phone :

My issue with Texas Fertility Clinic is their lack of reasonable Covid precautions, especially during the Delta wave. Their current policy is that masks are a personal choice if you're vaccinated. So when I went to see the doctor for an ultrasound - during this recent Austin Stage 5 crisis - almost none of the doctors or nurses or staff wore masks.

I felt so unsafe as one of the only people wearing a mask in a very busy office. I am vaccinated, but I have a son who is not yet eligible and a mom who is fighting cancer and undergoing chemo. Still, they stand by their policy. They did offer to do my next consultation virtually if I'd prefer, but what about my next in-person procedure? Because of their lack of safety precautions, I'm going to find a new clinic, despite how well this one came recommended. It's very personal to find the right fertility doctor, and I want someone who puts my health first.

I've never had a worse "care" experience with a healthcare provider. I am not someone who writes reviews often, but I honestly feel that I need to warn future patients about TFC. I went to Dr. Probst for egg freezing after being referred to TFC by a friend of mine. From the first appointment, I felt like I was interacting with a business vs. a doctor's office. Dr. Probst spent very little time with me and seemed annoyed when I pushed for more conversation.

He also answered some of my questions with contradicting information from what is on their website. For example, I asked if I would have a stronger change of success with freezing eggs vs. embryos, and he said no. On the website, it says the opposite. I should have stopped after the first appointment, but the reviews were good and I figured the actual medical process would be professional. WRONG.

The paperwork they sent me was all of the place and confusing - I'm not sure why they can't consolidate and digitize everything. They also gave me a big stack of forms to bring to the lab to get tests done - without explaining which tests I needed when. This meant I got to the lab and was completely confused. When I tried calling the office to get clarity, no one answered or got back to me (which became the norm).

Everything got SO MUCH WORSE when I started with the medication. They had me order all of the shots directly from the pharmacy and didn't spent any time with me to explain how to use the shots or answer questions. when I tried calling the "on-call nurse, " she didn't answer. It was terrifying! When I told Dr. Probst about my experience, he smirked.

When it became time for surgery, I arrived to the surgery center and they had lost my paperwork so I had to fill it out again. I could honestly go on and on about my terrible experience, but the moral of the story is: AVOID TFC AT ALL COSTS.

We had very negative experiences here. Thankfully we found a better clinic and we now have a beautiful baby. This place struck me as very profit driven with little regard for patient care. I'd strongly recommend a different clinic.

We had the most amazing experience with Dr Burger and her team. They were careful in guiding us through every step of the way, had an amazing team available essentially 24/7 for support and questions, and really cared about the process and our outcome. I would recommend them to ANYONE, however, I've realized that many of my friends or acquaintances have already used them and love them! Thank you again for helping us with our journey and leading us toward a first assisted successful pregnancy!

We started our journey with TFC and Dr. Silverberg last June and I am now holding my precious 1 month old baby boy. He is a very compassionate and phenomenal Dr. who was recommended to us by many doctors in the Houston/Austin area, very knowledgeable, caring, and great sense of humor. He never made us feel hopeless or judged even though we went in to our first consult fearful and emotional due to our history.

He is very straightforward, professional and his bedside manner is calming. Our nurse Ashely was the best! She was very attentive and was always there to answer our questions and concerns. Overall their practice is top notch, they made us feel like family. We were actually sad when we graduated from TFC to our Obgyn clinic. Dr. Silverberg and TFC were an absolute blessing to our family and we will be forever grateful to him.

Going to TFC has been an absolute pleasure. Their office staff is knowledgable, polite, welcoming, and friendly. They are always willing to help and go above and beyond. My husband and I decided to see Dr. Kaylen Silverberg, and we are so glad we did. Although Dr. Silverberg's specialty is fertility, he is well versed in all aspects of medicine.

It is clear that he stays up to date with all of the latest in medicine, and performs research himself. We were recommended by multiple other physicians in Austin to see him, many saying he is the best. He is one of the smartest and most knowledgeable doctors I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. The thing we appreciate the most about Dr. Silverberg is that he takes the time to get to know his patients.

We are not just another number or statistic to him. He genuinely cares about us and our success. He always takes the time to answer any questions, and explain any procedures, without making you feel rushed. It is clear he is passionate about fertility and helping families. He does not try to recommend procedures or treatments just to make money, in fact, he is very aware of the costs of treatment and is sensitive to the cost every step of the way.

He often presents different options and costs, with success rates of each, and leaves the decision to the patient. I personally appreciate his sense of humor. He knows when to make me laugh when we are faced with bad news, or when things are not going our way. That being said, he is always positive and will always do everything he can to make you successful.

He is one of the last great doctors around who truly epitomizes the profession by serving his patients and advancing treatment and science, rather than trying to line his pockets. My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him during our treatment, and consider him not only our doctor but a friend.

Great experience with TFC and Dr. Vaughn. He was patient and answered all of our questions even though I know he had a lot of other patients waiting to be seen. When he is in the room with you, you can tell that his focus is entirely on you and your wife's needs. His office staff are always available and accommodating to our questions and concerns.

We had to utilize their services on a Saturday and they were so pleasant and understanding. Would use them again in a heartbeat (Hopefully won't need to). Honestly can't speak highly enough about this practice.

We had such a great experience with Dr. Hansard and the team at Texas Fertility! The office has a fun, positive energy and we actually loved going to our appointments! Anytime I was nervous or needed further explanation Dr. Hansard and the nurses were quick to address our concerns and help us understand all of our options. There is always someone to answer your questions. I really felt cared for. So thankful they helped us get pregnant and we will definitely go back to Dr. Hansard when it is time for baby #2!

Dr. Silverberg may be one of the best doctors I have ever consulted with. He immediately made me feel comfortable given the stressful circumstances. My concerns and fears were continuously given validation and explained thoroughly. After surgery he asked that we come back to see him if we were not pregnant in 3 months. Fortunately we were blessed to get pregnant the following month.

As part of his on-going care procedure, we continued to see him for the next 5 weeks before he felt comfortable enough to pass me on to my regular OB. During those final 5 weeks he and his team were available to answer all of the many questions and concerns we had as first time parents. He treated us like individuals, and what felt like family, not just the next patients. Getting the okay to go to my regular OB was bittersweet. No need to look elsewhere, Dr. Silverberg and his team are excellent.

Dr. Silverberg was recommended to me by a friend who had a great and successful experience under his care. After having a disappointing and sub par experience with Dr. Natalie Crawford at Austin Fertility Institute, I decided to take my friend's recommendation to see Dr. Silverberg. Although I ultimately did not need help conceiving, I needed help with close monitoring of my hormones and a massive subchorionic hematoma in order to maintain my pregnancy. Dr. Silverberg provided exceptional care and has a great personality.

I am a medical professional as well and have high standards for the care I receive. I had zero qualms with how Dr. Silverberg practiced patient care. The office and medical staff were all very helpful, professional, and reliable in meeting all aspects of my needs. There was usually a 5-10 minute wait to get called from the lobby and put into an exam room-- I would wait 45min to 1.5hr when I was a patient of Dr. Natalie Crawford. Hands down, I would choose Texas Fertility Center and Dr. Silverberg over and over again to provide my fertility/initial OB care.

Be careful if you choose to work with this fertility clinic. I spent an enormous amount of time communicating with one of the employees before I went in for my first appt, to try and coordinate the initial consultation on the same day as my baseline ultrasound. I was told I wouldn't have to pay $220 for the consult plus $220 for the ultrasound if it was the same day - just one $220 fee.

Well low and behold when I went to check out, after delaying my appt for months to time it just right, I was charged over $400 (for a visit that was less than 30 minutes) despite my emails stating otherwise. This place only cares about the money they bring in and will not work with you to find a resolution. Aside from the financial side, they will also change your appt location without even asking you if that works for you. If driving to Austin when you planned on going to Round Rock doesn't work for you, you'll lose your appt.

Regardless of how our journey with infertility ends, Doctor Propst has been so encouraging. We've been trying after my surgery to unblock my tubes since July. He discovered this along with a septum after numerous doctors just shrugged and blamed PCOS. We've gotten pregnant once. It ended in a chemical pregnancy (early miscarriage), but once Dr Propst saw what was going to happen, he called me personally.

He reassured me it's a common thing and not to worry. This was followed by an email from his nurse, Cynthia, expressing her condolences. He genuinely cares. We didn't get pregnant this time after confirmation of ovulating, and we could clearly see that he was a bummed about it as we were, but it's part of the process! Not every egg is a good egg. Thankfully, Dr Propst is a good egg, and he's going to help us catch ours! We're looking forward to continue our journey with Dr Propst. I honestly can't say I've seen a more caring doctor in my life with PCOS. I wish more were like him.

I have full confidence in Dr. Silverberg, that he is willing to do the right thing for the patient, and not just the easy fix. My wife and I worked with Dr. Silverberg for around six months to get pregnant. All along the way he would diagnose and give his medical recommendations that were honest and calculated. We started our journey thinking IVF was the only option, but because of Dr. Silverberg's willingness to attempt to save my wife's fallopian tube, and laser skills, we ended up with a naturally conceived twins.

New patients Dr. Silverberg will run late, please understand that Dr. Silverberg is always willing to help when complications arise, and they will, so his scheduling inevitably gets thrown off. He will be late to appointments, but it's because he's helping someone's with an unforeseen issue. The office and Dr. Silverberg try and plan things, but inevitably fertility patients are unpredictable, and the office does a wonderful job of accommodating the unexpected.

The offices of Texas fertility are some of the best the medical world has ever seen, seriously the Samsung Sonogram machines blow our obgyn's ancient GE ultrasound machines out of the water. The nurses and billing staff are very good. Put your future children in Dr. Silverberg and Texas Fertilities care it's the best practice for fertility.

Dr. Burger and her nurse Kat are so kind, compassionate, and helpful. Struggling with infertility is no easy journey but they not only stayed positive and solutions oriented throughout the process, but also were successful! Within 7 months of starting with Dr. Burger I was pregnant and just recently delivered a healthy baby girl. I was sad when I "graduated" from TFC because I had such a wonderful experience and wished they could have seen me throughout my pregnancy. There will always be a special place in my heart for these two women who made my dream of becoming a mom a reality. Thank you TFC!
