What Valley Fertility Patients are saying about Dr Brown

Triple the Joy

My husband & I are very grateful with Dr. Brown and his staff for helping us conceive our healthy and beautiful triplets. We have been married for 14 years and had no problem conceiving our first 2 boys. Once our youngest son was 2yrs old; we decided to add another child to our family. After trying for several years we noticed that there was a problem conceiving. On our first visit with Dr. Brown we knew God had put him on our path to help us have a baby. After several treatments we were able to conceived our triplets: Max, Mikaela & Mireya.

Great Doctor and Staff

Dr. Brown and his staff did an excellent job at helping my husband and I conceive a baby. They were all very patient with all of my questions and never ignored me or my concerns. I really would recommend this doctor to anyone who is trying to have a baby.

We have been trying to have a baby for a while, and end up at dr. brown's office. We had been seeing other doctors who had given up on us. When we first visited Dr. Brown he took his time to explain our issues to us. He offered alternatives that we followed. He was very polite all the time and eager to help us. A couple of months later we found out we are having triplets...God used him to help us. If u r in our shoes don't lose faith and seek help..

Coming to terms with issues of infertility is always a problem and made me a little defensive when people asked me when my next child was coming. When I visited Dr. Brown the first time I was even more devastated than I thought because even though I knew we had issues, all he did was confirm the issue was there and real. But his resolve in explaining to us about the new technology and how excited he is about his career made me feel a little better. As we took on the treatment and moved forward the warm and friendly staff offered support rather than pity. That's huge! Overall my experience so far has been one experience I will never forget! From the very bottom of our hearts and with the most sincere of sentiments, we thank you, your staff and your lab team for making this possible!
Oh boy! Oh boy! God and Dr. Brown's team me gave me a bundle of joy!!

FOREVER GRATEFUL!

A year after we had our daughter, we decided we wanted to have another baby. After trying for months to conceive, we decided to seek medical assistance. We began fertility treatment with different doctors from Houston to Mexico without success. After 9 years of failed treatments, a friend recommended that we see Dr. Brown. We decided to see him in January 2008. We scheduled an appointment and reviewed our options and decided on ovulation induction. We were pregnant by May 2008 with triplets. In January 2009, I delivered 3 beautiful, healthy baby boys. We are forever grateful to Dr. Brown and his staff for the personal attention. Thank you, Dr. Brown.

WE ARE HAVING TWINS!

Dr. Esteban Ortega Brown is a wonderful doctor. He was very courteous and explained all the options that were available. After trying for some time and due to the age factor, my husband and I felt that maybe it was not to be. We are so excited to have received the phone call about our pregnancy. Dr. Brown is truly wonderful!!!

I do highly recommend Dr. Esteban Ortega Brown,...

...my daughter is now 9 years old and it is the best thing that has ever happen to me. I did go thru two different procedures (treatment), everything was worth it. My daughter is an IVF baby. I have always told my daughter about Dr Brown and how she became my miracle baby.

We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Brown.

We had been trying to have a child for years, six to be exact. When we came into Dr. Brown's office, we immediately knew it would be different. We were all there for the same reason... we wanted a family. Dr. Brown and his staff make sure you feel comfortable at every appointment. He meets with you and your spouse to update and discuss any concerns before EVERY examination and after in his office, something that I found very comforting considering the fact that most Dr.'s at times don't even give us a chance to sit up. After only about 6-8 months of treatment, we conceived a baby who happens to now be 4 months old! We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Brown. We certainly will seek his help in planning our next child and would recommend any of our friends and family to see him.

Thank you Dr. Brown

After 2-3 years of trying to achieve pregnancy, Dr. Brown was the catalyst for our success. We are now 11 weeks pregnant and everything is normal. Dr. Brown performed a difficult surgery which led us to where we are today. I am certain there are only a handful of doctors in South Texas who could have performed this surgery with the same success. Thank you Dr. Brown

I would highly recommend Dr. Brown and his staff

I would like to start by thanking the only doctor that help me start my family, Dr. Esteban O. Brown. Before I met Dr. Brown my husband and I had been trying to conceive for seven years. I met Dr. Brown in 2003 and after our 1st examination he let us know that In-Vitro was our solution. In our first attempt the pregnancy test came back positive. We were having our first baby. On October 29, 2003, Lesly Salazar was born. Almost three years later my husband and I wanted another miracle. We returned back to Dr. Brown and again In-Vitro was our only solution luckily, we had two frozen embryos from our prior In-Vitro. Our procedure was successful and now we a expecting our second child due in November 2006. Thank you Dr. Esteban O. Brown.

He's our miracle doctor!

After 3 years of being unsuccessful in conceiving, my husband and I visited Dr. Brown. He immediately performed an ultrasound and noticed some abnormalities. Dr. Brown recommended laparoscopic exploratory surgery, which we had done the following month. He found I had endometriosis which caused my ovaries to fuse to my small intestine and fallopian tube. We scheduled major surgery for two months later to separate these organs. Unfortunately one of my ovaries had to be removed due to its' condition. After surgery, Dr. Brown told us we should be able to conceive in about three months. Sure enough! My husband and I found out we were pregnant three months later. We are now blessed with a beautiful daughter and we are so thankful to Dr. Brown. He's our miracle doctor! We highly recommend him to anyone having problems conceiving.

Dr. Esteban Brown was instrumental in our success in conceiving a child.

From the start, he was positive and told us that he could definitely help us conceive a child. He did tell us that it might be a rocky road, but that if we stuck to the plan; it would end up in a pregnancy. Well sure enough, after a few obstacles, and a year and nine months later, my wife is 2 months pregnant. Thanks for all your help and support dr brown. I proudly recommend dr brown to anyone having trouble conceiving a child.

Dr. Brown helped us achieve our goal in having a child.

In fact, we had twins. He knew our situation and was very knowledgeable in helping us. If it were not for him and God we would not be blessed with our twin 1 year old little boys.

I highly recommend this doctor to help you fill your life of joy.

I have been married for 9 years and barely two years ago I had my first child and I owe it all to Dr. Esteban Ortega Brown. I had lost hope after my 8th year of marriage so we had decided to adopt but one of my husband's friend recommended this doctor to us, so we went. Dr. Brown had given us a lot more hope than all the other doctors I had gone to. He told me straight out that my husband was the one with the problem and he gave us options. After he tested my husband he did a few ultrasounds on me to see if I was okay. Thank God I was. The following month we started the procedure. A month later we received a perfect anniversary gift. Dr. Brown did a pregnancy test with blood and later that day he called me with the news that I was pregnant. Me and my husband just cried. I called the whole world, I think, to tell them the news. Imagine. My mom and my mother-in-law were crazy being that it was their first grandchild ever. Now my little boy is going to be 2 in March and I am now expecting my next child with the help of Dr. Esteban Ortega Brown. I highly recommend this doctor to help you fill your life of joy.
