I had the pleasure of having Dr. Paupoo as my doctor for two pregnancies now. I was first directed to Dr. Paupoo by my insurance company, but I did not know a lot about him as I was new to the world of infertility. As an RN, I not only met many doctors through my clinicals while I was in school, but I now also interact with multiple doctors every day in my career. I have learned that while there are many great doctors, there are also very many that I would hope to never have to deal with on a personal basis. When I met Dr. Paupoo for our first appointment, I knew that I was meeting an amazing doctor.  I am so, so lucky to have crossed paths with this doctor! For years, I struggled with missing menstrual cycles, abnormal pain, and other unusual symptoms. I saw many doctors over the years who dismissed my concerns and told me not to worry until I wanted to get pregnant. Well, that time came, and not one doctor could help me figure out what was going on. I was faced with the grim possibility that I would never get pregnant. When I met Dr. Paupoo, he spent hours listening to my concerns and coming up with a plan for treatment. He spent time diagnosing me, running all the right labs and tests, and explaining what he was doing along the way. Because of his diligence, I was finally diagnosed with a combination of hypothalamic amenorrhea and PCOS, as well as endometriosis. He solved a puzzle that multiple other doctors had failed to put together. While this news was overwhelming, he was honest with me and together we came up with a plan. He performed surgery to help fix the endometriosis, and I recovered completely without any issues. A month later, my husband and I were pregnant after our first IUI with Dr. Paupoo. We were overjoyed! Dr. Paupoo genuinely shared in our joy, and was always appreciative and welcoming of updates as the pregnancy progressed and our precious baby was born. When it came time for us to expand our family further, I went back to Dr. Paupoo who discovered some uterine abnormalities that again other doctors had missed. Thanks to his superior ultrasound skills and diagnostic abilities, I was able to share these images with a high risk OB team that would follow me for my second pregnancy. Without Dr. Paupoo’s expertise, this would not have happened. I am forever grateful to Dr. Paupoo, and I consider him the best doctor that I have ever had. It is rare to meet a doctor who is both passionate about his work and about his patients, and can convey that with a great bedside manner. I would without a doubt recommend Dr. Paupoo to anyone seeking infertility treatment, or even to manage any female gynecological issues. He is one of the best in his field, and I will be returning to him as we continue to grow our family!"

If it were not for Dr. Paupoo my husband and I would not be blessed to have our beautiful baby girl. You see, I am a very complicated case. I suffer from PCOS and endometriosis and never thought I would be able to conceive again after we were blessed with our son. We tried for years to have baby number 2. We tried everything from Clomid to Femara, to injectable hormones and IUI. We saw doctors in other states, I underwent many tests, procedures and surgeries and nothing worked. We were ready to give up when I found out about Dr. Paupoo and we thought we would give it one last chance. Dr. Paupoo is so thorough that he started from square one with me. I thought oh goodness I have to go through all of these tests again. But am I glad that I did, because as Dr. Paupoo, knows and understands  that even though there are textbooks that explain how to proceed with patients such as myself, not all patients are the same and Drs need to think outside of the box. We tried a few rounds of Clomid unsuccessfully and instead of wasting precious time we quickly moved on to the next plan. Even though I had already had surgery and was told everything was good Dr. Paupoo wanted to see for himself.  Needless to say I was shocked to learn what a mess I was on the inside. My right ovary had literally fused itself to my bowels and pretty much everything on my right side. When other Drs in the OR saw that they were hesitant to operate. Dr. Paupoo operated for hours and was able to fix everything, save my ovary and ensure that I was able and ready to conceive. This was at the end of September 2014. After my surgery we continued on with medication to help me ovulate and in March of 2015 I got my first positive pregnancy test in the over four years that we had been trying. I was in shock! I had all but given up hope but Dr. Paupoo told me that it was possible for me to conceive and he would do all that he could to make it happen. True to his word he never gave up hope even when my husband and I had.

If you are having fertility issues, gynecological issues please go to Dr. Paupoo. He is a man of his word, a man with immense knowledge which allows him to help women where others may not be able too. Dr. Paupoo once told me I would get pregnant to which I replied if I conceive I will become your biggest fan. Well here I sit writing this testimonial as his number 1 and biggest fan!

Like I said, but I want to emphasize Dr. Paupoo knows things and understands things that other Drs may not. He works with each patient as an individual and not just another case. For those who are reading this please go see Dr. Paupoo, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Dr. Arasen Paupoo is a phenomenal Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialist, whose knowledge and experience far exceeds any other physician (including other academic infertility specialists) I have seen. He was not afraid to challenge the incorrect diagnoses I had been given, and dig deeper to unearth other contributing factors to my infertility that had been overlooked. Dr. Paupoo devotes a significant amount of time to each patient. He ensures his patients' understanding of procedures, diagnoses, and plans of care, providing detailed explanations, and backing up his decisions with supporting evidence. Although unheard of in most fertility clinics, I see Dr. Paupoo at each visit, instead of rotating physicians or nurse practitioners, which ensures my continuity of care. As someone who loves to independently research diagnoses and treatments, Dr. Paupoo never dismissed my ideas and instead carefully considered and provided rationales either for or against my suggestions. I underwent diagnostic imaging including a 3D ultrasound and MRI to confirm my uterine anomaly prior to surgery. Two radiologists incorrectly read my MRI. Dr. Paupoo was able to prove without question the correct diagnosis, a complete septate uterus, due to his superior ultrasound skills. I'm a complex infertility patient; I was born with a complete septate uterus and have extensive endometriosis, PCOS, blocked Fallopian tubes, and hormonal imbalance. As such,  Dr. Paupoo performed  two outpatient surgeries when  he removed the endometriosis, corrected my tubes, one of which was formed incorrectly at birth, removed my septum, and removed multiple polyps in my uterus. I had complete faith in Dr. Paupoo and healed without issue. I always felt at ease, as he provides his patients with his cell phone number in case of emergency. Dr. Paupoo has vast experience with all of these problems and is the reason I achieved a natural pregnancy, something other physicians told me I would never be able to experience.

Thanks to Dr. Paupoo, my husband and I will soon be celebrating our twin boys' second birthday. After being labeled as having "unexplained infertility" by another doctor, Dr. Paupoo correctly predicted that I would be diagnosed with endometriosis before even examining me. Within weeks I was having surgery, and just three months and two IUIs later, I was pregnant with not just one, but two precious babies!

We are so thankful for Dr. Paupoo and his staff for all they did to help us in what can be a very difficult process. Having never had surgery before, I was very nervous about the procedure. Dr. Paupoo made an appointment with me just to answer my multitude of questions. I have friends who went to other practices who barely saw their own fertility doctors (or had to pay an exorbitant fee if they did), and dealt primarily with nurses. Dr Paupoo always takes the time to explain the options and answer any questions.

With Dr. Paupoo, every test, medical treatment, and procedure is thoughtfully chosen for your individual circumstances. We were always allowed to be a part of decision-making process and never felt that we were put on a pre-determined path like some fertility clinics. He is absolutely one of the very best in his field, and we would recommend him to anyone seeking care for infertility or hormonal issues.

Dr. Paupoo is an amazing doctor! We had seen other fertility specialists before being referred to him and it was a night and day difference. Dr. Paupoo spent more time with us at our first appointment than our previous doctor did the whole 6 months she was treating us. Dr. Paupoo treated us as an individual case, not a "one size fits all" model that we had experienced before. He was able to accurately diagnose multiple conditions that were likely affecting my fertility in just few weeks time, versus being told I had "unexplained infertility" with our previous doctor after 6 months of tests/treatment. Dr. Paupoo did a great job of providing multiple options for treatment and never once did we feel pressured by him to go one way versus another. His background as a professor was very apparent as he did a wonderful job of explaining everything throughout the entire process of treatment. Thanks to his expertise, we were pregnant within 3 months of meeting Dr. Paupoo (1 surgery and 1 cycle of treatment), and now we have a happy and healthy baby girl! My husband and I are so grateful to him for the time he spent with us and the outstanding care he provided every step of the way.  I will definitely be a lifelong patient, as there is not another doctor I trust more.

I am so grateful to have met you Sir. I am so grateful that you are so caring and  patient-focussed. Sir because of you today I have my daughter Khloe and my son Carsten. When every dr gave up on me or didn't care, you never questioned your ability of finding out the cause of my infertility problems. Not only did you find out the cause, then you officially diagnosed me and yet insurance refused to pay for the treatment but you never let that stop you from treating me. Before you Dr Paupoo, I've had a few miscarriages and with you 1 more but that did lead to a diagnosis. You were never late nor cancelled any of my appointments and you took me in when things didn't seem right on short notice. You diagnosed me with severe endometriosis and ovarian cyst and numerous other female problems that is now left in the past. I have not had any pain ever since June 13, 2014 to this day but before that I had so much abdominal pain that affected my daily living for over 9 yrs straight. Dr Paupoo you are my hero to this day, besides my late mom and God you are next. You worked with me and my wonderful husband to keep us not give up throughout the steps of procedure. Dr Paupoo is not just my infertility dr, you were my OB dr as well. You are very trustworthy. You are one of the most intelligent people on earth I've ever met. I wish nothing but the best things in life for you as long as you live. You and your family deserve every good thing that is happening to you. My family and I say thank you Sir. I am writing this message to let other mommy's and future moms aware of Dr Paupoo. Dr Paupoo I am your FAN. I hope one day I would be able to do something tangible for you or your family in my lifetime Sir. Thank you very much for everything you did for me.

There's something that accompanies infertility that's seldom spoke about and that's depression, feelings of anxiety, and often the inability to get out of bed. I knew that when I saw a specialist if they didn't listen to me I was going to have to learn to live the rest of my life with it. The process to meet a specialist meant I was already in my 3rd year of infertility.

I remember my very first appointment to meet Dr. Paupoo. I fixed my hair and dressed up because in some ways this was the biggest interview of my life.  I remember how intently Dr. Paupoo listened and seemed to genuinely care. It was one of the first times I wasn't getting brushed off as a girl who couldn't patiently just wait to get pregnant. Through his listening and different tests, the help of my husband who confirmed my monthly pain was more serious than most women, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. I had surgery to remove it, performed by Dr. Paupoo. It was one of the first times this process changed my life, pain that I thought everyone experienced was suddenly gone.

It was still a 10 month journey to pregnancy, but in time I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl.

There are not words that I can say to adequately thank Dr. Paupoo, so I'll just recommend that if you are suffering with pain or infertility, if you know something just isn't right because you listen to your body, then do not hesitate to call. It just might change your life, like it did mine.
