I could write a book about my overall experience, and my gratitude and love for Dr. Nezhat. My husband and I struggled with secondary infertility for four years. I had just completed a failed round of IVF when my fertility doctor called to tell me that due to a cesarean scar defect, it was highly unlikely that I would be able to carry my own child again. A wave of immediate grief hit me and dropped me to my knees while he continued to clarify the severity of my condition. I had all but given up and tried to live with the idea that our firstborn likely would never have a sibling. It was my mother that spent her nights researching treatment for a cesarean scar defect and through that research, she found Dr. Nezhat. I immediately requested a consult and within minutes of speaking with Dr. Nezhat, my hope started to return. He empathetically listed through my tears as I told my story and explained my concerns (I’m in my late 30s with this condition). Little did I know, he had already reviewed my files, the history, and the previous doctor’s notes and was confident it could be corrected. He scheduled me for surgery within two weeks of our initial conversation. My surgery was an incredibly complicated one, as the issues I had internally were far greater than just the initial scar that was assumed. What was originally scheduled to be a two-hour surgery turned into five, however, when I woke up, Dr. Nezhat assured me it all went well and stated, “You shouldn’t have any trouble getting pregnant now”. Six weeks later, I got to have the opportunity to call Dr. Nezhat directly to (cautiously) let him know that I was pregnant. Dr. Nezhat continued to monitor and support me for several weeks into that pregnancy to ensure that both my baby and I were perfectly healthy. My second baby is now getting ready to turn one and I still get overwhelmed with emotions when I think back on our journey. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Nezhat and his entire staff for the care they provided me and for giving me the opportunity to carry my own baby when others told me it wasn’t possible.
