We wanted to thank you and Dr. Khalil once again for all the support throughout our journey to welcoming our son. This would have not have happened without your support from day one, and we are just so lucky to have met both of you and experience this magical moment. We are so excited to start our new family, and I hope after all this covid incident has settled down, we can come and thank you again in person.
Thank you so much once again, and I hope to see you soon!

I always knew that I wanted children but unfortunately the years passed, and I couldn't find the man with whom to make them.
At 37, I told myself that it was time to consider having a child on my own. I matured this project for a long time. I learned about the means of carrying it out but as I am French having a child on my own is not allowed, so I had to explore the possibilities offered by other countries and then I was able to start!
I made an appointment with Doctor Atalla on the advice of a friend. She was very available by email throughout the procedure, which was very precious to me because as I lived in Paris in France, I could not easily make an appointment. I was very well followed and very well advised.
I wanted to do IVF to put the chances of success on my side but, unfortunately, I did not respond well enough to the stimulation treatment. So, I finally did a simple IUI, but it worked miraculously the first time! Today I am the happy mother of a healthy little girl and I am gradually learning the joys and difficulties of motherhood!

Egg Donation
From the first appointment where Dr Atalla gave me the news I was in early menopause, she has been clear about my options, given us the confidence to make decisions and always given me the best care possible.
We have always felt she has our best interests at heart and has been reachable constantly when we had questions or worries. After hearing other stories about people going through egg donation, we really feel Nataly has taken every precaution necessary to help us have a child, going above and beyond what other people have been advised.
Thanks to her and her colleagues at the Rincon clinic in Spain, we now have a beautiful daughter and another baby on the way. We will be forever grateful to Nataly and her expertise and would highly recommend her.

Baby Atharv
Dear Dr. Atalla,
We are very delighted to share the news of arrival of our baby boy Master. Atharv Rao. Baby was delivered on 30th April 2019, nearly 6 weeks before actual due date. Abnormal dopplers suggested IUGR and doctors at Harris Birthright center decided to have it delivered just after 33 weeks. By gods grace baby did well outside of the womb and did not require any support from the time of birth. He was at NICU/HDU/SCBU for about a month. Now is home, both mom and baby are doing fine.
A polyp was found during post-natal scan and mom's suggested another scan in December.
We would like to thank you wholeheartedly for all the guidance, support and help given.
Thank you once again.

Baby Mina
My husband and I visited Dr. Atalla after 3 full years of trying for a baby. The reason why we were not successful was unknown even after seeing different doctors.
I still remember my first visit to her office - my husband and I were fully determined to go through any treatment to someday see our baby. When we started our appointment, we have quickly learnt she was as determined as we were for her patients to be successful and happy with a baby at the end of the journey. She made sure we fully understood the procedures (including needles and side-effects) so that we can move together towards our common goal, and at the end we decided to proceed with IVF. During my attempts there were times when she was very direct but I knew this is because she cared about her patients.
Throughout different stages I encountered major and minor hurdles, but at each stages Dr. Atalla swiftly provided solid answers to my inquiries which was very relieving and comforting. After the third embryo transfer, I saw my very first ‘big fat positive’ on the pregnancy test strip. One night at week 8 I bled. Panicking, I emailed Dr. Atalla way after her office hours about what I should do and in 5 minutes she responded back to me with concise advice.
We are now proud parents of a healthy baby girl. I cannot thank Dr. Atalla enough for all she has done for us and we are very happy about the decision we have made to seek help from her. Yukari and Rosuke12th April 2019

Babies Legendre
I first met Dr Attala about my PCOS. But she quickly found that my situation was more critical because my husband had a low sperm quality, and that it would be very hard, or unlikely for me to conceive naturally.
It was a massive shock for us because we always wanted to have children, were young and had never thought we would have fertility issues. We began discussing IVF with Dr. Atalla and felt we were in very good hands with her.
We had to do an ICSI with frozen embryo transfer. Dr Attala was very human and supportive during the whole process, always available to answer any concerns we had. She has great attention to details, performing multiple checks and small treatments to maximise our chances.
When the first two transfers failed, she adjusted my drugs and was always reassuring. I was starting to loose hope with the third transfer, so I was so surprised and happy to discover my positive pregnancy test. On January 2019, after a peaceful pregnancy, I gave birth to 2 beautiful twin girls.
We are so thankful and cannot recommend Dr. Attala highly enough for any couple taking the IVF journey.
Thank you again, we are so happy. “

Menopause Treatment
I am a General Counsel at a Hedge Fund and it's a very demanding role in a very male dominated environment. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for the treatment of menopause has allowed me to excel in the role because I am not suffering from any of the symptoms even though I am going through it. I could not do my job without HRT. Neither would I have the energy nor the calm needed and, with the best will in the world, there would not be the requisite understanding of the symptoms if I displayed them.
I bring many things to my role including experience, logic, knowledge, intelligence and lack of ego. I am also an asset to my business in no small part because of what I bring to my role as a woman. This together with all of my legal and business attributes are no longer held back because of the menopause.
Half of the World’s population probably goes through the menopause. I believe many of the symptoms are instrumental in the departure of talented woman, who should be at the top of their game and reaping the rewards but instead are having to leave the work force altogether. This is a crying shame for the World when menopause symptoms can be mitigated so easily with the use of HRT.

Stella & Jim
Dr Atalla has guided us through a very long journey to have our daughter. She was the very first person we saw and her expertise in Fertility and Assisted Fertility were invaluable to us both.
Dr Atalla gave us encouragement when our first four IVF trials hadn't worked. She gave us information and guidance on the newest medication and procedures that could benefit in conceiving.
We will forever be grateful for Dr Atalla in helping us complete our family. We hope that our testimonial gives other couples hope for the future.

Baby Ana Maria
You have no idea how happy I am as I delivered a healthy baby girl on the 13th of August. You know how uneasy this journey was for me with two cervix dilatation surgeries, hyperstimulation and one “lost" egg. But it was so much worth it!!!
Without you this dream would never come true. You are and will always be one of the most important people in my life as you were the first doctor who properly diagnosed what was going on with me and my husband Konstantin, who helped me by all means to get there, and who supported me throughout the whole process, from the day I came to see you for the first time till the time when my pregnancy was out of risk.
I felt so safe in your medical hands. If I ever go for the second pregnancy (I have one more egg left), I won’t think even for a second about who will be my doctor — even if you are not in London at that time.

Baby Suzanne
More than ten years ago, my husband and I decided to abandon our plans for having children. I'd had eight short-lived pregnancies, with miscarriages at seven, six, then five weeks and, after that, no positive pregnancy tests any more. We had seen a range of doctors but despite various investigations there were no answers.
I was desperate to have children and found that, not being able to, affected my whole life and also my career, even when we had decided to give up.
At age 37 we decided to try one more appointment with a fertility expert to find out whether anything new had been discovered in the two years that had passed. When we met Nataly Atalla it became immediately clear she was taking a personal interest in us. She informed us that there a new treatment was available and I might be an ideal candidate.
With Nataly's help we managed a pregnancy through the anxious and crucial weeks of the first trimester to beyond forty weeks when our daughter was born in April 2003. Her brothers arrived in 2005 and 2009. It still feels like a miracle!

A&C
My first appointment with Dr. Atalla was in May of 2010, in the midst of a massive personal tragedy – just weeks before I had terminated a pregnancy affected with a rare genetic disorder at nearly 24 weeks. I was, understandably, a wreck, and it was difficult to tell my story without crying. The first thing Dr. Atalla said to me was “You will have a baby.” Those were the first positive words I heard from a doctor in weeks, and brought a glimmer of hope into a very tragic time.
Initially I saw Dr. Atalla for gynaecological checkups to follow up after my termination procedure. When I got pregnant naturally again later that year, she conducted my dating scan and saw me through the first trimester. She was also there for me after that pregnancy was affected by the same genetic disorder and I terminated again.
We began discussing IVF with PGD with Dr. Atalla following that procedure, and she immediately took my care directly into her hands. She personally arranged my first appointments with geneticists at the Bridge Centre, and made it a point to see me whenever I came in. She set me up with “the best nurse” to do my first nurse’s appointment and, as always, patiently answered all my husband and I’s lengthy questions and queries.
When time came to begin my IVF treatment, Dr Atalla was there every step of the way. She personally reviewed all of results during the down regulation and ovarian stimulation process. She performed both my egg collection and embryo transfer procedures herself, sometimes re- arranging her schedule to do so.
Dr Atalla has now seen me through a successful first trimester with a twin pregnancy, conducting scans and again, patiently answering my questions before passing me on to a consultant obstetrician. I can’t express enough how important continuity of care is for someone who has been through a situation like mine.
One of the most traumatic things is having to tell and re-tell your story again and again to different doctors who may or may not understand or feel quite impersonal toward you. Dr. Atalla was so phenomenal in that she listened to me, and my husband, and really got to know us well. I walked out of every appointment with her having calmed us about the present and optimistic about the future. It goes without saying that I feel that I have got the best medical care as well.
I look forward to continuing with Dr. Atalla for the foreseeable future and am so grateful to her for everything she has done for me and my husband. Without Dr Atalla I would most definitely not be where I am today.

N &M
Since I was a little girl I dreamed of being a Mum. We had no history of any problems in this department among my immediate family and I assumed that having a child would be a natural outcome for me. Little did I know that I was going to have three consecutive missed miscarriages and no doctor could explain why.
I was encouraged to keep trying naturally, but I lost all hope and faith in what doctors were saying to me. On top of that my hormones were all over the place. Needless to say I was a nervous wreck. During our appointments doctors would "politely" talk to my husband, making the fact that I was crazy very obvious. I have to say I even started doubting myself whether in fact I was sane.
At this stage of our lives we came to see Dr Atalla. She took a very professional approach and listened to what I thought might be the problem. With her positive attitude we found her very reassuring.
Dr Atalla supported us from the very beginning right through to the end and has always followed up on everything. Also, she was excellent in both finding the right words to calm me down and push me when I needed a push. professional approach and listened to what I thought might be the problem. With her positive attitude we found her very reassuring.
Dr Atalla supported us from the very beginning right through to the end and has always followed up on everything. Also, she was excellent in both finding the right words to calm me down and push me when I needed a push. Dr Atalla is very "human" and sensitive in her approach. At the end we had the best gift one could possibly get, the birth of our two beautiful and healthy twin girls.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Dr Atalla. For me she addressed my concerns, supported me throughout and, most importantly, I no longer felt I was being experimented on.

H & M
With the amazing assistance of Nataly, we are finally pregnant with a little baby boy! We first visited Nataly after many months of trying unsuccessfully. Nataly was kind, supportive and informative from that very first appointment.
One of the many great things we found with Nataly was that she conducted the large majority of necessary tests and procedures herself so you were ensured continuity of care and knew she was providing the best and most appropriate medical care for us. During and after the tests and procedures, Nataly was always willing to answer questions and always made time to respond to queries we had between appointments. Nataly maintained a positive but realistic outlook on our situation and was a very calming influence during what was a very difficult time for us.
We have recommended Nataly to a number of close friends and will continue to do so. We are so grateful to Nataly and can't wait to introduce her to our baby.

M&C
We can't thank Dr Atalla and her team enough for the part they played in our successful IVF treatment. Dr Atalla was very sympathetic to our concerns and anxieties, and always made herself available whenever possible to answer any questions, something we appreciated in such a difficult and anxious time.
We can't be more grateful for the role she played in helping us in our journey to give birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl..

S & A
We found Dr Atalla to be engaging and sympathetic to our emotions through the fertility process. She adapted my medication and treatment as my body responded differently to various medications and Dr Atalla performed the key operations and examinations herself, all of which contributed to our successful outcome.
We found Dr Atalla very responsive to ad-hoc queries which, at times, helped alleviate concerns we had. She was responsive to emails which we appreciated as it was our main communication tool given we both worked and struggled to find time for calls or visits. Dr Atalla also notified us immediately of results after various tests which helped reduced anxious waiting time. We would not hesitate to recommend Dr Atalla to someone in a similar situation.

Baby Rachel
My husband & I had absolute no idea what to expect with an IVF journey. We very much wanted a second child and it was our only way to possibly conceive so we decided to go for it. Dr Atalla literally held our hand all the way through it. We could not have done it without her.
Our first child was conceived through IUI at a big clinic in London Bridge and the difference in care and attention was dramatically different. Not only is Dr Atalla very professional, knowledgeable and intelligent, she is incredibly warm hearted and caring. We asked her a lot of silly questions but she never made us feel uneasy in any way. She was a massive pillar of support to us and I kept thanking my lucky stars we were going through it with her.
I had a wobbly moment when the first box of drugs arrived at my house. This big brown box arrived and I felt very overwhelmed and thought I couldn't do it. Dr Atalla and the nurses at CRM guided me through the injections and how to do it and after the first week I was more confident. Our experience at CRM was lovely too, the staff are all very sensitive and caring and normal, and the clinic looks like an upmarket spa and very private.
We had luck with our second IVF cycle and the particular drugs Dr Atalla chose for me this time round worked well for me. The second week wait seemed to go on forever, hard to not think about it after all the work you have put in to get to that point. Now I was pregnant the drugs continued for 3 months and the care continued massively with Dr Atalla. Lots of scans, lots of advice and lots of care.
We highly recommend Dr Atalla to anyone deciding to go through IVF and wanting personal care rather than a clinic vibe which I felt can be a bit like a factory. She really is a gem when you are going through it all.

We welcomed our daughter with the help of Ms. Atalla and Mr. Khalil. Ms. Atalla was thoughtful, supportive and reassuring from the time I first met her and explained my husband and I were looking to have a baby. Following those initial consultations we knew we were in excellent hands. This was confirmed by their responsiveness over email or phone to any of our questions; it was very welcome to receive an immediate email response in the evening or at weekends whenever we got in touch.
When it came time for the birth I felt extremely calm and confident given Mr. Khalil's expertise and reassuring nature. Though my birth did not go according to "my birth plan" (it went by my baby's plan instead!) I couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out and this is largely thanks to Mr. Khalil's guidance throughout the birth.
Luckily my pregnancy was normal and healthy but I was constantly reassured by the knowledge that if I needed anything or if any issues did arise Ms. Atalla and Mr. Khalil would be immediately available. The care I received was nothing short of outstanding. My husband, daughter and I felt so taken care of and were made to feel very special by Ms. Atalla and Mr. Khalil; they truly went above and beyond and made a world of difference before, during and after the birth of our daughter.
We will definitely seek their support when it comes time to make future additions to our family!

My experience with doctor Atalla ends like a fairy tale.
I first visited her because I wanted to have a baby and I knew I had some fertility issue. She first comforted me and assured me that there is different things we can try and she promised me that together we will work hard to make it happen. I knew after that first visit that my dream will come true.
We tried first two treatments that didn't work well but she keeps insisting that there is still some hope and if treatments don't work we will try IVF . I was first scared about the all treatment and the procedure but felt comforted because doctor Atalla was with me all the way along and very available answering all my questions and my fears. I found out that I was pregnant after the first try and that was the happiest day of my life.
During my pregnancy I was treated by her and doctor Khalil who was as helpful and reassuring than her. His professionalism and experience were key points during my last quarter. The most important things about this all experience is for me to be surrounded by professional who you can trust , reassure you and be available. That's why, I want to thank you again Doctor Atalla and Doctor Khalil for all you have done to me and for giving me the best gift I would have ever expected my baby boy!

Baby Henry
We are delighted to introduce Henry, born 8th May 2021 weighing 7lbs 10oz at 38 + 2 weeks.
Delivery was tough but fine overall. Waters broke naturally but then needed an induction as it didn’t progress naturally. The induction worked well until he got as far as I could with long contractions but ended with an emergency C- section. Good job as they think he probably wouldn’t fit through my pelvis. We got home 3 days later and adjusting well.
Thank you so much for making this happen. We are completely in love with him and will be in touch about a sibling in the future!

I believe many of the symptoms are instrumental in the departure of talented woman, who should be at the top of their game and reaping the rewards but instead are having to leave the work force altogether. This is a crying shame for the World when menopause symptoms can be mitigated so easily with the use of HRT.

Dr Atalla has guided us through a very long journey to have our daughter. She was the very first person we saw and her expertise in Fertility and Assisted Fertility were invaluable to us both.
Dr Atalla gave us encouragement when our first four IVF trials hadn't worked. She gave us information and guidance on the newest medication and procedures that could benefit in conceiving.
We will forever be grateful for Dr Atalla in helping us complete our family. We hope that our testimonial gives other couples hope for the future.

You have no idea how happy I am as I delivered a healthy baby girl on the 13th of August. You know how uneasy this journey was for me with two cervix dilatation surgeries, hyperstimulation and one “lost" egg. But it was so much worth it!!!
Without you this dream would never come true. You are and will always be one of the most important people in my life as you were the first doctor who properly diagnosed what was going on with me and my husband Konstantin, who helped me by all means to get there, and who supported me throughout the whole process, from the day I came to see you for the first time till the time when my pregnancy was out of risk.
I felt so safe in your medical hands. If I ever go for the second pregnancy (I have one more egg left), I won’t think even for a second about who will be my doctor — even if you are not in London at that time.

More than ten years ago, my husband and I decided to abandon our plans for having children. I'd had eight short-lived pregnancies, with miscarriages at seven, six, then five weeks and, after that, no positive pregnancy tests any more. We had seen a range of doctors but despite various investigations there were no answers.
I was desperate to have children and found that, not being able to, affected my whole life and also my career, even when we had decided to give up.
At age 37 we decided to try one more appointment with a fertility expert to find out whether anything new had been discovered in the two years that had passed. When we met Nataly Atalla it became immediately clear she was taking a personal interest in us. She informed us that there a new treatment was available and I might be an ideal candidate.
With Nataly's help we managed a pregnancy through the anxious and crucial weeks of the first trimester to beyond forty weeks when our daughter was born in April 2003. Her brothers arrived in 2005 and 2009. It still feels like a miracle!
*A&C
My first appointment with Dr. Atalla was in May of 2010, in the midst of a massive personal tragedy – just weeks before I had terminated a pregnancy affected with a rare genetic disorder at nearly 24 weeks. I was, understandably, a wreck, and it was difficult to tell my story without crying. The first thing Dr. Atalla said to me was “You will have a baby.” Those were the first positive words I heard from a doctor in weeks, and brought a glimmer of hope into a very tragic time.
Initially I saw Dr. Atalla for gynaecological checkups to follow up after my termination procedure. When I got pregnant naturally again later that year, she conducted my dating scan and saw me through the first trimester. She was also there for me after that pregnancy was affected by the same genetic disorder and I terminated again.
We began discussing IVF with PGD with Dr. Atalla following that procedure, and she immediately took my care directly into her hands. She personally arranged my first appointments with geneticists at the Bridge Centre, and made it a point to see me whenever I came in. She set me up with “the best nurse” to do my first nurse’s appointment and, as always, patiently answered all my husband and I’s lengthy questions and queries.
When time came to begin my IVF treatment, Dr Atalla was there every step of the way. She personally reviewed all of results during the down regulation and ovarian stimulation process. She performed both my egg collection and embryo transfer procedures herself, sometimes re- arranging her schedule to do so.
Dr Atalla has now seen me through a successful first trimester with a twin pregnancy, conducting scans and again, patiently answering my questions before passing me on to a consultant obstetrician. I can’t express enough how important continuity of care is for someone who has been through a situation like mine.
One of the most traumatic things is having to tell and re-tell your story again and again to different doctors who may or may not understand or feel quite impersonal toward you. Dr. Atalla was so phenomenal in that she listened to me, and my husband, and really got to know us well. I walked out of every appointment with her having calmed us about the present and optimistic about the future. It goes without saying that I feel that I have got the best medical care as well.
I look forward to continuing with Dr. Atalla for the foreseeable future and am so grateful to her for everything she has done for me and my husband. Without Dr Atalla I would most definitely not be where I am today.

Since I was a little girl I dreamed of being a Mum. We had no history of any problems in this department among my immediate family and I assumed that having a child would be a natural outcome for me. Little did I know that I was going to have three consecutive missed miscarriages and no doctor could explain why.
I was encouraged to keep trying naturally, but I lost all hope and faith in what doctors were saying to me. On top of that my hormones were all over the place. Needless to say I was a nervous wreck. During our appointments doctors would "politely" talk to my husband, making the fact that I was crazy very obvious. I have to say I even started doubting myself whether in fact I was sane.
At this stage of our lives we came to see Dr Atalla. She took a very professional approach and listened to what I thought might be the problem. With her positive attitude we found her very reassuring.
Dr Atalla supported us from the very beginning right through to the end and has always followed up on everything. Also, she was excellent in both finding the right words to calm me down and push me when I needed a push. professional approach and listened to what I thought might be the problem.

Dr Atalla supported us from the very beginning right through to the end and has always followed up on everything. Also, she was excellent in both finding the right words to calm me down and push me when I needed a push. Dr Atalla is very "human" and sensitive in her approach. At the end we had the best gift one could possibly get, the birth of our two beautiful and healthy twin girls.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Dr Atalla. For me she addressed my concerns, supported me throughout and, most importantly, I no longer felt I was being experimented on.

With the amazing assistance of Nataly, we are finally pregnant with a little baby boy! We first visited Nataly after many months of trying unsuccessfully. Nataly was kind, supportive and informative from that very first appointment.
One of the many great things we found with Nataly was that she conducted the large majority of necessary tests and procedures herself so you were ensured continuity of care and knew she was providing the best and most appropriate medical care for us. During and after the tests and procedures, Nataly was always willing to answer questions and always made time to respond to queries we had between appointments. Nataly maintained a positive but realistic outlook on our situation and was a very calming influence during what was a very difficult time for us.
We have recommended Nataly to a number of close friends and will continue to do so. We are so grateful to Nataly and can't wait to introduce her to our baby.

We can't thank Dr Atalla and her team enough for the part they played in our successful IVF treatment. Dr Atalla was very sympathetic to our concerns and anxieties, and always made herself available whenever possible to answer any questions, something we appreciated in such a difficult and anxious time.
We can't be more grateful for the role she played in helping us in our journey to give birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl.
* S & A
We found Dr Atalla to be engaging and sympathetic to our emotions through the fertility process. She adapted my medication and treatment as my body responded differently to various medications and Dr Atalla performed the key operations and examinations herself, all of which contributed to our successful outcome.
We found Dr Atalla very responsive to ad-hoc queries which, at times, helped alleviate concerns we had. She was responsive to emails which we appreciated as it was our main communication tool given we both worked and struggled to find time for calls or visits. Dr Atalla also notified us immediately of results after various tests which helped reduced anxious waiting time. We would not hesitate to recommend Dr Atalla to someone in a similar situation.

My husband & I had absolute no idea what to expect with an IVF journey. We very much wanted a second child and it was our only way to possibly conceive so we decided to go for it. Dr Atalla literally held our hand all the way through it. We could not have done it without her.
Our first child was conceived through IUI at a big clinic in London Bridge and the difference in care and attention was dramatically different. Not only is Dr Atalla very professional, knowledgeable and intelligent, she is incredibly warm hearted and caring. We asked her a lot of silly questions but she never made us feel uneasy in any way. She was a massive pillar of support to us and I kept thanking my lucky stars we were going through it with her.
I had a wobbly moment when the first box of drugs arrived at my house. This big brown box arrived and I felt very overwhelmed and thought I couldn't do it. Dr Atalla and the nurses at CRM guided me through the injections and how to do it and after the first week I was more confident. Our experience at CRM was lovely too, the staff are all very sensitive and caring and normal, and the clinic looks like an upmarket spa and very private.
We had luck with our second IVF cycle and the particular drugs Dr Atalla chose for me this time round worked well for me. The second week wait seemed to go on forever, hard to not think about it after all the work you have put in to get to that point. Now I was pregnant the drugs continued for 3 months and the care continued massively with Dr Atalla. Lots of scans, lots of advice and lots of care.
We highly recommend Dr Atalla to anyone deciding to go through IVF and wanting personal care rather than a clinic vibe which I felt can be a bit like a factory. She really is a gem when you are going through it all.

We welcomed our daughter with the help of Ms. Atalla and Mr. Khalil. Ms. Atalla was thoughtful, supportive and reassuring from the time I first met her and explained my husband and I were looking to have a baby. Following those initial consultations we knew we were in excellent hands. This was confirmed by their responsiveness over email or phone to any of our questions; it was very welcome to receive an immediate email response in the evening or at weekends whenever we got in touch.
When it came time for the birth I felt extremely calm and confident given Mr. Khalil's expertise and reassuring nature. Though my birth did not go according to "my birth plan" (it went by my baby's plan instead!) I couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out and this is largely thanks to Mr. Khalil's guidance throughout the birth.
Luckily my pregnancy was normal and healthy but I was constantly reassured by the knowledge that if I needed anything or if any issues did arise Ms. Atalla and Mr. Khalil would be immediately available. The care I received was nothing short of outstanding. My husband, daughter and I felt so taken care of and were made to feel very special by Ms. Atalla and Mr. Khalil; they truly went above and beyond and made a world of difference before, during and after the birth of our daughter.
We will definitely seek their support when it comes time to make future additions to our family!

My experience with doctor Atalla ends like a fairy tale.
I first visited her because I wanted to have a baby and I knew I had some fertility issue. She first comforted me and assured me that there is different things we can try and she promised me that together we will work hard to make it happen. I knew after that first visit that my dream will come true.
We tried first two treatments that didn't work well but she keeps insisting that there is still some hope and if treatments don't work we will try IVF . I was first scared about the all treatment and the procedure but felt comforted because doctor Atalla was with me all the way along and very available answering all my questions and my fears. I found out that I was pregnant after the first try and that was the happiest day of my life.
During my pregnancy I was treated by her and doctor Khalil who was as helpful and reassuring than her. His professionalism and experience were key points during my last quarter. The most important things about this all experience is for me to be surrounded by professional who you can trust , reassure you and be available. That's why, I want to thank you again Doctor Atalla and Doctor Khalil for all you have done to me and for giving me the best gift I would have ever expected my baby boy!
