Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent experience we had only one visit but I can already feel we are in good hands

Dr. Babayev was god sent for us , we got his reference while doing some research on IVF online & approached him , as we were having difficulty with conceiving naturally . From our first visit to doctors office we knew we are in good hands , we went though IVF treatment under him at UTSW & my wife is 8 month into her pregnancy , he is not with UTSW now and he moved to Mayo clinic Rochester, Minnesota, all the best Dr. Babayev.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Babayev in September 2018 and he met me with major skepticism because I had never believed I needed science to help me have a baby, however, he was able to speak with me on a human level and explain everything to me so that I was comfortable. My husband and I made the decision to move forward and I am so glad we did. His team was supportive and positive and made me feel like more than just a patient. Thanks to him we are pregnant with our baby surprise!

Dr. Babayev is a rare physician - possessing strong evidence-based knowledge and skills, with a warm approach to interacting with his patients. My pregnancy journey has not been easy, but Dr. Babayev made sure I was well taken cared of. He always patiently listened to all of questions/concerns, was very thoughtful in his guidance, and always made us feel he was rooting for us. I feel very fortunate to have him as my provider, and would strongly recommend him to others. He's a gem.

Dr. Babayev has been nothing but beyond amazing from the first consultation to every single office visit. He is very knowledgable in his field and doesn't do unnecessary tests/procedures that hasn't been proven to work. He is easy to work with and responds incredibly fast to all my messages and phone calls. Even though our journey took multiple IVF rounds due to an extremely low sperm count and a genetic background, we finally got pregnant with our miracle baby!

There are not words enough to describe our love and appreciation for Dr. Babayev and his staff ... they are all incredible! While being professional he was personal enough to let us know he cares and was going to do anything within his power to help us reach our goals of having a baby. From our first consultation with him to our last OB appointment, he has been nothing short of awesome. He always has a smile on face and seemed genuinely happy to see us! We would highly recommend Dr. Babayev!

Dr. Babayev is very personable and spends a great deal of time discussing options before starting any treatment plan. Our situation was complicated, to say the least, but Dr. Babayev was able to create 11 embryos from the first extraction attempt. After, we were very fortunate that the baby stuck with the first IVF cycle. I would have to say Dr. Babayev is extremely traditional, but his methods get great results!

Dr. Babayev is an amazing doctor. From the moment you go in for your first appointment he spends at least an hour just talking to you and getting to know you. Without him, we would not be expecting. Him and his entire staff are incredible. Infertility is a difficult road to go down and he is an expert. The staff really gets to know you. Our experience started with a handshake and ended with joy and hugs from him and the staff. I could not have asked for a better doctor.

My wife was under the care of Dr. Babayev last year when we decided to have baby number 2. As a nurse, I was put at ease with knowing we were working with a top notch professional. Dr. Babayev is courteous and goes above and beyond to answer questions. We are a same gender couple and we never felt intimidated or out of place in his office. We did ICI once without hormones and got pregnant! I have recommended Dr. Babayev to friends in the past and will continue to do so. Thank you so much.

If you are looking for a compassionate, intelligent, expert in infertility treatment then you have to meet Dr. Babayev! He diligently worked with my wife and I to help us through our IVF journey. He is so respectful, professional, and passionate about what he does. We could not have asked for a better IVF doctor to guide us through the most exciting, stressful, and amazing journey our of lives. He takes the time to explain everything and makes you feel very comfortable with each step you take.

I am so thankful for Dr. Babayev. From day one, I felt that I was receiving the best care. After figuring out that I had PCOS, he developed a plan to help me. I appreciated that he wasn’t extremely aggressive from the beginning. Thankfully after a couple rounds of clomid and a couple rounds of clomid with an IUI, I got pregnant. My daughter is now 3 months. Dr. Babayev was always extremely patient, willing to listen, on time, and sincerely kind. Highly recommend!
