I don't have any recommendations but you can find a list of them by visiting www.surromomsonline.com and then do the following:

Click on "Links" on the left side of the page
click on "Surrogacy/Donor Agencies & Consultants"
Click on "Texas"

Currently there are six agencies listed with SMO. I cannot vouch for any of them, however.

Good luck!

Hugs,

Dr. Doody comes to mind. I think my RE sends his patients there when there is a hurricane. I don't know what the clinic is called. Might want to look it up. And I am not totally sure if they do surrogacy or egg donor or what. Worth a try.

Southwest Surrogacy Associates with Kathy Stern is in Houston. Kathy is a psychologist and has done surrogacy herself. She is a nice person.

Dr Doody

Doctors Kevin and Kathy Doody have a clinic in Bedford, TX which is near DFW airport. It is call The Center for Assisted Reproduction or otherwise known at CAR. The website is WWW.embryo.net .

They have several physicians working with them as well. I know this because we used Dr Nackley in 2001. We were very pleased with the medical treatment we received. I actually hyperstimulated during our first IVF cycle. Dr Nackely was new to the clinic and therefore consulted with Dr. Kevin throughout my cycle.

We were successful with this cycle and our son is about to celebrate his 4th birthday. I do know that they have an embryo donation program because they dicussed it with us briefly because we had 15 embryos after that cycle. They also offer Gestational surrogacy according to their website.

I hope you find this helpful.

I would not recommend Drs. Doody though. They are notorious for kicking you out of their IVF program after 1 failed cycle. They won't waste their CDC stats on you for a second try. Most IVF doctors are not like that because they know tweaking sometimes has to happen. I know of at least 3 couples from Dallas that ended up with Dr. George Grunert and Dr. Randall Dunn here in Houston because of this. I've struck up friendships with these 3 women sitting in the waiting room.

Here is their website. http://www.obgynassociates.com/doctors.html

I too have heard of the Doodys being very strict about which patients they will continue to treat. And yes, rumor has it that it's all because of their stats. But on another, more personal note, I've worked on some volunteer projects with Dr Kathy and she is a very nice person with a big heart. She is wired pretty tight though. Dr Nackley is a very sweet, smart and gentle doctor. We loved her.

We made the decision to go to another physician for our FET. Cost was what made us consider it and then a series of events convinced us to consult with Dr Le in Irving. We have 5 personal friends that have had success with Dr Le over the last 3 years. One set of triplets, one set of twins, two singles, one which was GS. (one sister carried for another sister). All of these have been fresh cycles except for the triplets. They were actually FET. Dr Le doesn't charge as much as most DFW physicians. He will tell you it's because he wants to help families grow and if you have frozen embies, then he wants you to be able to have more children should you desire, without going broke.

We tried last summer, but it was not successful. However, we had two very stressful situations arise right in the middle of it all. I believe that those situations played a huge part in the failure.

www.ivfmd.net

Dr. Le is the founder and medical director of Advanced Reproductive Care Center of Irving. He is one of the few clinicians who are also certified as a high complexity laboratory director (HCLD). He oversees the Embryology and Andrology laboratories as well as the Assisted Reproductive Technologies program. He earned his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch and completed residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where he won several awards serving as chief resident. He received fellowship training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He is board certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Obstetrics & Gynecology. He has served as a clinical assistant professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center and is the author of several scientific journal articles. Dr. Le has special interest in management of complex endocrine problems such as polycystic ovary syndrome, menstrual irregularity, and abnormal sexual development. He specializes in operative laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and all aspects of Assisted Reproductive Technologies.
