Notable Cases Handled
A couple where the male partner had non-obstructive azoospermia secondary to Klinefelter syndrome underwent micro-TESE sperm retrieval and ICSI under Dr. Shah's management, achieving successful sperm recovery, fertilisation, and live birth — with successful micro-TESE in approximately 50% of such cases consistent with published literature.
A patient with recurrent implantation failure following three IVF cycles underwent comprehensive immune workup and endometrial scratch protocol under Dr. Shah's guidance, achieving successful pregnancy on the subsequent single blastocyst transfer cycle.
Patient Feedback Themes
- Male Infertility Expertise: Couples with male factor infertility, including azoospermia, specifically seek Dr. Shah for his micro-TESE and surgical sperm retrieval expertise — a subspecialty strength not universally available.
- Affordable IVF Excellence: International patients highlight the combination of high IVF success rates and significantly lower costs compared to Western countries as a key reason for choosing Ahmedabad for fertility treatment.
- Personalised Protocol Design: Patients value his individualised stimulation approach based on AMH, AFC, and prior cycle response rather than standardised protocols.
Treatment Approach & Philosophy
Patient-Centred Care
Dr. Sandeep Shah takes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to infertility management — evaluating both partners fully before designing an ART protocol. He is particularly methodical in the workup of azoospermia, ensuring micro-TESE is offered only when indicated and that couples are fully counselled on success probabilities. For international patients, he coordinates pre-arrival fertility workup remotely, plans treatment timelines to minimise travel, and provides written summaries for continuity of care at home following treatment.
Technology & Innovation
Dr. Shah employs time-lapse embryo monitoring for embryo selection, vitrification cryopreservation for oocytes and embryos, microsurgical micro-TESE for azoospermia, laparoscopic fertility surgical platforms, and PGT-A for chromosomal screening. He integrates comprehensive hormonal profiling including AMH, FSH, and testosterone assays in both male and female infertility evaluation.
