Male Patient Testimonials

Dr. Machen was attentive and knowledgeable.  I had a wonderful experience and would recommend him to others.

I stressed about getting a vasectomy for over 15 years!  I finally decided to do it and to be honest, I’m not sure why I stressed for so long.  The procedure was fine (a little mental anxiety, no procedure pain) and the recovery was a piece of cake.  I really had no swelling or pain and while I was supposed to not lift more than 10 pounds for a week, within a day I was back to full mobility and was moving more weight than 10 pounds by about the third day.  I did take a valium before the procedure which I would highly recommend.  In hindsight, I would have asked for one to help the sleep the night before.  Even though I can look back and say it was no big deal, I was still anxious before the procedure.  But again, the procedure and the recovery were easy.  That was a lot of unnecessary stress over the years that I could have avoided.

The procedure was handled very professionally and without any significant pain.  The Dr. did a wonderful job and made me feel at ease with the process.

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi is a VERY knowledgeable Doctor.  Would Highly recommend him.

Extremely thorough and very knowledgeable.  Made the visit to the urologist not so bad after all.  Highly recommend.

Yeiii!!!! My wife almost in her due on Dec 27 with the second one. A baby boy. Thats why we highly recommended to Dr. Kavoussi …he is the best in what he does.

Dr. Kavoussi was incredibly generous with his time for me.  Living across the country, a phone consult was set up quickly so I could discuss my situation and try to find the appropriate course of action.  The information he gave me has led me down the right path to finding the answers I need.  His entire staff was wonderful and respectful, and I am in their debt for their help.  I would recommend Dr. Kavoussi to anyone.

I’m a older man and had been dealing with pain, swelling and Varicocele issues for about 2 years. I knew that I needed surgery but really didn’t want any Urologist that did only 4 or 5 a year. My last Urologist recommended Dr. Parviz Kavoussi. After talking to Dr. Kavoussi, I understood he performs Varicocele surgery’s each week with over 100 each year and trained using a microscope. That’s exactly what I was looking for, especially using a microscope.. The bottom line, I had surgery about 2 weeks ago and still in the process of healing. I’m very glad I found Dr. Kavoussi and recommend him. He’s a very nice young man that will listen to your problems, give you his honest opinion and will follow up with you after your surgery.

I just wanted to thank Dr. Kavoussi for my vasectomy reversal. Just a year after my recovery, my son was born! I could not be happier and I am amazed at how quickly everything happened.

I can’t speak highly enough on the great customer service and experience that I had with Dr Kavoussi and his staff.
I got a vasectomy done, before, during and after the procedure it was clear to me that Dr Kavoussi cares for his patients, he makes sure you have all questions answered.
The procedure and the recovery was pretty much pain-free and seamless.

I had a vasectomy reversal through Dr. Kavoussi and wanted to take the time to give an honest review. Dr. Kavoussi was amazing from the first day of consultation to post surgery care. Very patient and caring is his style. If you are looking for a fertility specialist there is no one better than Dr. Kavoussi.

Wonderful “bedside” manner. Did a great job explaining everything. I feel very confident in his care.

The positive reviews for Dr. Parviz Kavoussi are no exaggeration. Exceptional bedside manner, professionalism and mastery were evident in all of my interactions with him. Can’t recommend him enough.

Dr. Kavoussi is one of the best doctors I have encountered – period. He is highly proficient, and has a phenomenal bedside manner. If one did not know better, he would think Dr. Kavoussi does what he does for the love of mankind, and not for personal gain. A rare man to be sure, and I highly recommend him.

Best doctor in Austin, Texas.  Thanks to Dr. Kavoussi my wife and I are having a baby this year!!  <3

I think the Kavoussi’s family are a gift of God for those of us that struggle with fertility.  I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Dr. Parviz Kavoussi.  He seems to always have the time to explain things out and give his best medical opinion when I needed to make a decision between a set of choices.  Furthermore, Dr. Kavoussi always answered my questions and he takes good care of me.  I could not ask for a better doctor.  I would strongly recommend him.

Terrific care and treatment plan!  Resolved all of my symptoms and shared so much knowledge with me along the way.  Great with patients but also VERY intelligent and good at what he does.

Dr. Kavoussi and his team were excellent.  During my visits, and after they showed genuine care in my well-being, both emotionally and physically.  I recommend Austin Fertility without hesitation.

Dear Dr. Kavoussi, We went with you on June, 2016 for the vasectomy reversal with the hope to be parents.  Only 11 months after my surgery my wife became pregnant. Our daughter was born on February 8th, 2018. I cannot begin to tell you the joy you have brought into our lives. I thought it would take years! You and your team are such a blessing for us. We highly recommend to Austin Fertility Reproductive Medical, they are very kindly and professional. Words cannot express our gratitude. Thank you so much. God bless you.

We had to see both Dr. PK and Dr. SK. They are both amazing doctors. Kind, understanding, up on research, intelligent, and honest.

An important note- Dr. PK is very well known for his success rates with azoospermia patients. And their clinic is very comfortable handling delicate Micro-TESE sperm.

We had a positive pregnancy blood test today. With our own eggs and sperm. Pretty awesome for a couple with azoospermia and a fibroid and polyp history. Bottom line – we trusted their wisdom and guidance and are glad we did.

Dr. P Kavoussi and Dr. S Kavoussi have been so warm and caring to both my husband and I.  We initially met with Dr. P Kavoussi to help with my husband, he sat down with us for almost an hour to explain everything to us and all the different steps we can take to move forward.  We left our appointment with so much confidence knowing he was the best choice for us moving forward with this.  I am extremely hopeful after meeting with both of these amazing doctors and I am so glad I found them to go through this journey with.

My visit to Austin Fertility went as good as anyone could have hoped. Dr. Parviz K. Kavoussi is an excellent doctor. All my visits were quick and easy. Any men hesitating to get a vasectomy, don’t. Visit Dr. Kavoussi and get it done. The procedure was quick with minimal pain. I was back to normal in a couple days. I’m glad I choose this location to have it done.

Hydrocelectomy and Vasectomy at the same time. Dr. Kavoussi has real talent. My recovery has been much faster than expected, I was working (from my zero gravity recliner and laptop) the same day as the procedure. The quality of the work is so perfect, I’m almost inclined to make the closure of the amazingly small incision my social media profile picture.

Guys, if you are self aspirating a hydrocele as I was – don’t be put off by the caveman technique for this surgery shown on YouTube. This procedure as implemented by Dr. Kavoussi is nothing like that and again, the man has serious talent. I’m a fanatical perfectionist in my own profession and I’m very critical of people that don’t do stuff right, I’m rarely impressed by anyone in any profession. With the work done here though, I’m beyond impressed, I’m astounded by the quality.

Dr. Kavoussi is an absolute pro! He’s as friendly as he is professional and really puts you at ease for what I considered to be a stressful procedure. 8 minutes start to finish. I’ll be sending as many people his way as I can.

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi and his team were excellent. During my visits, and after they showed genuine care in my well-being, both emotionally and physically. I recommend Austin Fertility without hesitation.

Long over due review for this guy. Long story short- Parviz is not only intelligent but he is a doctor that truly cares about his craft. Great guy as well. Very kind.

HI! Doctor Kavoussi and Staff! Our son came to see you almost a month ago — you came in to see him after doing procedures all day. You listened to him and quickly assess the situation. We were in your office on Tuesday and by Friday, he was having his procedure done! We were from out of town and you and your staff did everything you could to get his procedure put on the schedule. Friday the 10th of March– you took very good care of him. We were back at the motel and he rested. We were able to travel back to Amarillo. I can honestly say he is out of pain for the first time in almost 3 years. Thank you Dr. Kavoussi and your most excellent staff that helped us get this procedure done. Words are not quite adequate to tell you how much we appreciate you. Our son will be seeing you in a few weeks and will be good to see you and thank you again for all you have done. Signed—a thankful mom!

Great staff, great Dr…. I have been seeing Dr. Parviz K. Kavoussi now for 4 years. I couldn’t be happier to have found this office and this Dr.

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi diagnosed and helped fix a major problem in my fertility.  He was conscientious throughout.  I would recommend him to anyone.

I recently had a no-scalpel vasectomy with Dr. Parviz Kavoussi and am beyond satisfied with the entire experience.  From the initial consultation to the final follow visit, I was very comfortable with all the interactions.  The actual procedure was very short, and the after was totally a breeze.  I experienced very little discomfort and no real pain.  I would strongly suggest anyone looking to have this procedure done to visit AFRM and Dr. Kavoussi.

Dr. Kavoussi is the most compassionate physician I’ve come into contact with, and I’ve known many. I simply cannot recommend this practice enough. There is no leaving his office with unanswered questions or unaddressed concerns. No matter what you face, Dr. Kavoussi will explain your options in the clearest, most encouraging fashion.

I recently had a vasectomy with Dr. Parviz Kavoussi and cannot possibly recommend Austin Fertility enough.

The office staff is courteous and helpful, and Dr. Kavoussi is amazing.  He is professional yet humorous, and instantly put me at ease.  He also went above and beyond to accommodate my busy schedule.

The procedure – no-scalpel vasectomy – was surprisingly pain free and there were only two very brief periods of mild discomfort, and that was having denied the offered valium prescription for the procedure.  On top of that, while it is ongoing, you are allowed to watch TV to distract you from worrying about what’s happening.  After channel surfing for most of the procedure, I found Parks & Rec and was actually laughing while the doctor finished up!

The recovery was an absolute cake walk: I took Friday off from work for the day of the procedure, and afterward took one over the counter Tylenol when I first got home, then kicked back watching movies and playing video games all weekend sitting atop rotating bags of frozen peas.  I experienced no pain during the entire recovery period and was back in the office on Monday!

Guys, if you’ve wanted to get a vasectomy, but have been understandably nervous about it, choose Dr. Parviz Kavoussi and you have absolutely nothing to worry about!

My only regret now that I have gone through the entire process, including the follow-up analysis, is that I won’t have a chance to work with Austin Fertility ever again.  Too bad they don’t practice general family medicine on the side! 😉

I recently got a vasectomy with Dr. Parviz Kavoussi. Long story short: The man was masterful at his work and I am so glad I had the procedure with him. Dr. Kavoussi performs the no-scalpel procedure, which I do prefer after learning the difference between the scalpel and no-scalpel procedures.

FYI guys if you don’t know the difference between scalpel and no-scalpel..(by the way I’m not a doctor. Talk to a doctor.)  There are some tubes they need to block to perform the vasectomy. These tubes are surrounded by nerves and blood vessels. In the scalpel procedure they simply cut the tubes, which also cuts the surrounding nerves and blood vessels. In the no-scalpel procedure, the Dr. gets inside the tubes, and cauterizes them from the inside, leaving the surrounding blood vessels and nerves in tact. Less bleeding and trauma to the body that way.

Dr. Kavoussi was very personable during the initial consult, and took as much time as I needed to answer all my questions. The day of the procedure, I was more nervous than I thought I would be, I was glad I took they Valium they recommended. During the procedure, as I said, Dr. Kavoussi was absolutely masterful in his execution. I wasn’t timing it, but he was done in 5-10 minutes. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated his skill.

There was very little pain during the procedure, and it was primarily from the numbing injection. After the procedure, I also had very minimal pain for the first few days. I was back to work after the weekend(minus Monday).

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi and his staff especially Jamie are amazing, courteous, helpful, great advocates with Insurance and always on the cutting edge of working with newer protocols, keeping me informed etc.  I have been very happy for 1.5 years.

After three children, my wife and I decided we should take action. I did my research on my options in the area and though a friend recommended a doctor who is well known in the area with an interesting name, I didn’t feel that was the right choice for me. I contact Dr Parviz Kavoussi and they took great care of me. They made me comfortable with the process and my recovery was quick and easy. I definitely recommend!

Dr. Parviz and his staff have done more than just turn my hormone health around in a matter of months. They saved my life. At 21 years old I found myself chronically exhausted, disinterested in things I normally loved, and generally miserable. I found Dr. Kavoussi (by some miracle) via a google search, and I just can’t say enough about all that he’s done for me. Dr. Kavoussi goes so far beyond just treating a number (low testosterone, for me). He cares about my future, whether I want kids, my sense of well being, etc. and he tailors my treatment accordingly. If you’re young, and experiencing similar symptoms, don’t be discouraged if some doctor insists your problem cannot be low testosterone. These people will take care of you. The staff are just the kindest people you can imagine, they remember my name and were genuinely ecstatic for me when my numbers came back right.

Dr. Kavoussi is a very personable Doctor.  He is very knowledgeable and caring.  He takes the time to make sure you understand your treatment and will answer questions with understandable and thorough answers.  I highly recommend him as a doctor.

Dr. Parviz was truly a blessing, such a skilled professional with the proof to back it up. I had a reversal done I was laying in bed and the Dr called me the day after just to see how I was doing. His professionalism and dedication to his patients is what makes him such an amazing Dr.

I highly recommend Dr. Kavoussi. About a year ago I was having issues with my pituitary gland, and I was recommended to go see Dr. Kavoussi. I was diagnosed with male infertility, and my wife and I thought that having a child of our own was impossible. Thanks to Dr. Kavoussi, and his brother, and their wonderful staff we are now expecting twin girls

My husband has azoospermia, high FSH and high LH. We sought help from a general urologist here in Austin, to no avail. We are so pleased to have found Dr. Parviz Kavoussi, a fertility doctor subspecialized in these types of issues. We couldn’t be happier with the treatment we have received so far.

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi performed my vasectomy and did a fantastic job. His office was clean and modern and i watched ESPN through the entire procedure. I healed easily and was back to work on Monday. I recommend Dr. Kavoussi whole-heartedly.

Dr. Kavoussi & Staff: Thank you all sooo much for helping us create our beautiful son. We have so much to be thankful for in 2013 ! Wishing you lots of love & much success this year.

Dear Dr. Parviz, I wanted to let you know that our baby arrived on 10-28. Baby, Mom & Dad could not be happier or healthier. I wanted to thank you for all your help in making this possible, for without you and your brother (Dr. S), it would not have happened. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I Highly Recommend Dr. Kavoussi

For over 10 years I thought I had prostate issues, but had very healthy PSA, 0.4. Finally, after recent, painful infection diagnosed by my primary care doctor as a “Hydrocele,” in the right testis, I read Citysearch about Dr. Parviz Kavoussi. I quickly got an appointment. Dr. Kavoussi did the ultrasound himself so I would know exactly my condition. It was a tumor. Dr. Kavoussi removed it less than a week later at South Austin Surgical near St. David’s South. He and his staff prepared me for the painful recovery after testicular surgery; I got better quickly with ice-packing. The tumor was a BENIGN Adenomatoid tumor! I’m back to swimming a mile in less than a month! Urinary function is like when I was young! It was like having a rock removed and nerve pain is almost gone and I have less nerve pain in other areas too! Don’t wait for cancer, or endure testicular pain. Go to Dr. Kavoussi!

I was referred to Dr. Kavoussi by my family doctor after weekly injections failed to increase my testosterone to acceptable levels. Dr. Kavoussi took the time to thoroughly explain all the treatments that he offered. In the end, I decided to go with the time release pellets. I just had my second treatment and the procedure is quick and causes very little pain. Just a small shot to numb the insertion area. The staff is helpful and friendly and I have yet to wait more than 5 minutes to see the doctor once I check in with the front desk. I highly recommend Dr. Kavoussi.

Dear Dr. Parviz, We are pregnant !  Thank you so much for your advice, patience and care over the last year.  You have helped us make our dream of being a family come true.  All our best to you.

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi,

I just wanted to thank you and your staff at Austin Fertility & Reproductive Medicine for taking such good care of me.  You are a true master in your profession and it shows…  I felt totally comfortable in a situation that should make any guy feel awkward.  It was nice to be able to watch Sports Center during the operation from the TV mounted above.  You were thorough, understanding, informational and very quick.  I never had any complications after the surgery and was up and mobile shortly after.  I feel great and I would recommend anyone who needs the procedure done to contact www.austinfertility.com

Thank you so much and God Bless!

I (53 yr. old) suffered from pain on my left testicle for about 5 yrs and it kept getting progressively worse radiating down to my leg.  I heard about Dr. Parviz Kavoussi and after consultation and a minor injection to see if pain was relieved, he decided to perform a procedure called Microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord.  It’s been three months and I feel 200% better, the pain is gone from my testicle.  I have a bit of pain at the incision, but that is normal.  I highly recommend this procedure.  I hope this helps someone out there with the same symtoms.

We have the greatest appreciation for Dr. Kavoussi and everything he did to help us get pregnant.  We truly believe that without him or his brother (Dr. Shahryar Kavoussi), we would not have been successful.  We found out yesterday at 18 weeks that we are having a precious boy !  We are so excited and can’t thank them enough.

Dr. Kavoussi, my wife and I really appreciate everything you have done for us this year.  The baby is growing and developing just fine and should be here in 2 months!  We are excited and cannot wait to start our family.  I personally have you to thank for my part in this process and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

went to Dr. Kavoussi for a Vasectomy Reversal. Without a doubt the best experience I have EVER had with any medical professional. Not only was it a very pleasant experience but he also did an outstanding job! I reached full fertility with minimal scarring. He has such a great staff and an outstanding personality. He’s the man to see for all your male fertility needs!

Highly Recommended!

My husband had a vasectomy done by dr. kavoussi and it was as good as it gets! he was in and out in under an hour and the pain was minimal. dr. kavoussi had great bedside manner and best of all, we were all clear at the first post-op check!

Amazing!!!

I went to a few doctors and made several phone calls trying to find the best suited for a vasectomy reversal, after finding Dr. Kavoussi on google he looked very promising. When I met him I made up my mind on the spot! He had extensive knowledge on all the problems I had, had a very nice nurse (Brandy). They have ALWAYS been extremely friendly and his bedside manners are great. I feel he went above and beyond with my procedure and the follow-up visit has proven that. I now am off the charts and ready to procreate! I can’t thank Dr. Kavoussi enough and this has truly been an incredible experience. If you need a Vasectomy Reversal or any male fertility issues for that matter, THIS IS THE DOCTOR TO SEE!

I went to Dr. Kavoussi for a vasectomy reversal after doing much research. My wife and I were VERY HAPPY that Dr. Kavoussi took as much time as needed during the consultation to answer all of our questions and give us information and answers that were sincere and did not sound like someone reading from a medical journal. After the surgery I called on a Saturday with a general question thinking I would be leaving a message and getting a return call on Monday. Instead, Dr. Kavoussi called me back 5 minutes later!!!!! This kind of service is definitely not the norm in the industry. He again called me on Sunday just to follow up with me. It is truly wonderful to see someone with superb surgical skills still being down to earth and great at treating his patients like friends.

I had a first consultation with Dr Parviz this week. Dr Parviz was the second Doctor I went to see in order to discuss fertility issues. The first Doctor I had visited, a Urologist had not impressed me, and I was gladly surprised to learn that Dr. Parviz was very knowledgeable on all the latest research and methodologies on the subject (had done some self-study) which had not been the case at previous meetings with other Doctors. And he takes the time to listen and discuss your case and go through the test results with you, without feeling that your are being rushed to the door. I seldom take the time to write a review, but I think this time it was worth to do it.!

I visited several doctors and did not get results or help getting the insurance to pay for my procedure. Dr. Kavoussi not only cured my problem but got the insurance company to pay the full amount. I got excellent treatment and care above expectations. He even went to his office on Saturday because I had a concern. Who does that anymore????? I would strongly recommend Dr. Parviz Kavoussi and his staff to anyone. He was also on call 24/7 if I had any questions or concerns. What a blessing to find him!

Low testosterone and the archaic forms of application are what led me to Dr. Kavoussi. Instead of daily applications. I’m on a 3-6 month schedule using implanted time release pellets. *The office staff has been very helpful. I strongly recommend Dr. Kavoussi and the clinic..

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi took excellent care of me in my last two clinic visits.  He made me feel comfortable in discussing some rather personal issues, and I genuinely appreciate his sincerity and reassurance.

Dr. Kavoussi performed my penile implant correction and replacement surgery.  It meant a great deal to me to have him helping me on this.  Although I’ve tried wearing a game face through this situation, it was rough dealing with the results of my previous surgery. His skill, extra attention, and great courtesies did not go unnoticed.  He and the entire team helped lift a huge burden off my shoulders.

It was a pleasure to see Dr (Parviz) Kavoussi.  The conventional wisdom about specialists is that they are impersonal, brusque, and in a hurry to see the next patient.  Dr Kavoussi was none of these things.
