Fertility Austin Comprehensive Couple Evaluation and Treatment
As the only fertility clinic in Austin specializing in a comprehensive care approach within the same practice, our physicians are able to recommend and provide ALL treatment options to couples. We are the only Austin Fertility center with an in-house reproductive urologist. We strongly believe that the optimal fertility care of the couple – both the female and male partner provides best results for conceiving. Celebrating Mother’s Day: Watch how fertility treatment helped give the Pitman’s their two sons. » Learn more about Female Infertility Causes » Learn more about Male Infertility Causes A common misconception is that infertility is only an issue on the woman’s side. However, 22% of infertility cases are attributed to male factor while an additional 30% to 40% include both male and female factors. Evaluation of the male partner can diagnose and treat reversible hormonal, anatomical, and genetic conditions in which assisted reproductive technology (ART) using the male partner’s sperm can be performed to improve the chances of pregnancy. For irreversible conditions, donor insemination may be an option. The best infertility care requires an in depth knowledge of how the female and male reproductive systems work together. At AFRM, reproductive endocrinologists and reproductive urologists work as a team to improve the fertility outcome for the couple as a whole. Our unique, comprehensive care approach within the same practice, allows our physicians to prescribe combination treatment options including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplastmic sperm (ICSI), IVF/ICSI, intrauterine insemination (IUI), sperm retrieval, varicocele repair, vasectomy reversal, donor egg IVF, and donor sperm for IVF or intrauterine insemination (IUI). Comprehensive couple care is important especially for complex cases such as non-obstructive azoospermia, where there is deficiency of sperm in the semen without blockage in the male anatomy. A very specialized procedure known as microdissection testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) offers the chance to find microscopic pockets of sperm production within the testicle in the majority of men in this difficult circumstance. The extracted sperm can be used in combination with IVF to help couples conceive. This is a very different process than the simple sperm retrieval which is performed for men with blockages (vasectomy or other anatomic obstruction) that requires a very high level of expertise for acceptable success rates. Dr. Parviz Kavoussi has fellowship specialty training in microTESE, is the only surgeon in Austin with such training, and has excellent success rates in such technically demanding sperm retrievals. In addition to improving a couple’s chances of having a baby, our comprehensive evaluations benefit patients from an overall health standpoint. Men with sexual function issues may be impacted by health risks such as high cholesterol, low testosterone, and cancer.Quality and Compassionate Care

She has been an angel to us during our journey, and thanks to her we were able to achieve conception on our first IVF attempt after many other treatments with other doctors have failed.
I suffer from PCOS, and she had provided me with the right protocol that was specifically made for me, and never made me feel like it was a written protocol for anyone else. As someone who has a hard time trusting the process, I have never ever ever ever once doubted, or questioned Dr. Barsky’s skills, guidance, and knowledge. She is absolutely fantastic and we will forever be grateful for the family she has given us.
If you are looking for someone who makes you laugh, but is also SO empathetic, so comforting, and understands your struggle(s) throughout the process, please please please see her she is going to make things so much easier for you.

When I started looking for IVF locations, I was so nervous. I was new to Texas and IVF here and didn't know anybody to ask for experiences or opinions I literally took a chance and picked this clinic. My doctor at Austin Fertility was Dr. Maya Barsky. I have to admit that I was leery of female IVF doctors because of some issues in the past, which I know is unfair to judge all female doctors because of a few that didn't sit well with me (but that's what I did). I had my consultation via FaceTime with Dr. Barsky, she seemed kind, answered any all questions I had and took her time, and she was just so positive.
With each appointment I had with Dr. Barsky, I came to realized how truly great She was. She was so friendly and really took her time with me and my husband. She went through our medical history, our options going forward, which specialized doctors to speak with due to my age, situation, etc.
There was one appointment where my husband and I were concerned about a medical issue that may have changed our minds about having a baby, and Dr. Barksy didn't pressure us either way. In fact, she told us to speak to a certain kind of specialty doctor and gave us a name and phone number of a few. She told us one of our options if we were unsure how to proceed was to wait a month or two if we needed, just to make sure we were making the right decision for my safety and sanity. I knew right then that this doctor was truly WONDERFUL and made to be a doctor. We ended up being "cleared" by the specialized doctor and going through with IVF on time.
At my embryo transfer, Dr. Barsky and her team seemed as excited as I was. The two embryologists were friendly, informative and great. Dr. Barsky and her team of nurses (and also the embryologists) were like my support system since, sadly, my husband couldn't be there. Even without him there, I truly felt supported by everyone in the room. Once the embryo was safely in, I cried happy and exhausted tears. The build up in getting to that point was a lot but I was so happy and hopeful. Throughout this whole cycle, Dr. Barksy held my hand at times, gave me hugs at times, and treated me like a human being and not just a client or a patient. We ALL deserve a doctor like her for this emotional rollercoaster of a process.
I'm happy to say that I am now 12 weeks pregnant (if you're reading this Dr. Barksy or Austin Fertility staff- IT'S A BOY!). I've graduated from the clinic to my OB/GYN labor and delivery doctor. I wish I could have Dr. Barsky as my doctor for this whole pregnancy journey. I've told her this many times so she knows. 🙂
I would have written this positive review whether my IVF process resulted in a pregnancy or not though, simply because it's the truth and Dr. Barksy and her team deserve it. I'm so incredibly happy that I went to Austin Fertility and had Dr. Barsky as my doctor. read more

Well, here it is, the review that will save you time shopping around for the right Dr. to help you grow your family. Dr. Kavoussi is great to speak with, and he’s very straightforward with describing procedures and expectations. I initially had a vasectomy just over a decade back, and it was performed by a relatively young Dr. that placed the clips a bit too low. Dr. Kavoussi stated I was one of his most difficult reversal surgeries, yet it was shortly after the six week recovery period that we had the news that we were expecting. Friends and family were pleasantly surprised about the time frame that we saw results, and it really goes to show how much effort this team puts in when it comes to dealing with complex surgeries like mine. Recovery was fast and didn’t involve much pain at all despite my situation requiring a longer surgery and some bigger incisions. I’m eternally grateful to have the opportunity to have a family after rebuilding my life, and I couldn’t be more appreciative of Dr. Kavoussi and his wonderful team. Thanks again!!! read more

For the record guys I just left the vasectomy clinic. EASIEST PROCEDURE EVER! I laid down for 15 minutes and before I knew it, it was over!

My husband and I were trying for a year and suffered from reoccurring chemical pregnancies. We found Dr. Shahryar Kavoussi's fertility clinic on google. I received a consultation and became a patient of Dr. Shahryar Kavoussi's in June of 2019. In my consultation with Dr. Kavoussi, he addressed every concern, made me feel very positive and sure that he would help me figure out what was preventing my husband and I from conceiving a healthy pregnancy. My blood work showed my prolactin level was elevated so Dr. Kavoussi prescribed me cabergoline to level my hormones which was contributing to why I was having reoccurring miscarriages and prolonged cycles. I also had an HSG dye test which shows that both of my Fallopian tubes were thankfully open. I fell pregnant in October of 2019 on Femara, progesterone suppositories, cabergoline and timed intercourse. Just 3 cycles in of being on cabergoline and a patient of Dr. Kavoussi. I am so thankful for Dr. Kavoussi for helping me resolve my fertility issue and being so attentive to my concerns. I carried my pregnancy to term without any complications. I gave birth on the 4th of July 2020. I currently have a happy and healthy 1 year old that fills our life with SO much LOVE & LIGHT. Now that our daughter is one, we are back at Dr. Kavoussi's office ready to ttc for baby #2. Our baby girl is here with us today because of Dr. Kavoussi and his team! I refer all of my friends with fertility issues to him. He really is knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his patients. If you're reading this review like I was a few years back debating on whether or not to book a consult I'd say give him a call! He will NOT let you down! read more
