A first consultation is dedicated to listening. Dr. Massoud will review your history, discuss your concerns and outline next steps — no tests or treatment are proposed before the full picture is clear.
On arrival, you'll complete a short intake form covering your medical and reproductive history, current medications and any prior investigations or imaging.
The consultation begins with a focused discussion — what's brought you here, your timeline, your concerns and your goals. This usually takes the majority of the visit.
If clinically indicated, a focused gynecological examination and/or transvaginal ultrasound is performed in-clinic — always with your understanding and consent.
You leave with a clear, written summary: working diagnosis, recommended tests if any, treatment options on the table, and a follow-up timeline. Questions in writing are welcome between visits.

Send a message via WhatsApp or the contact form — replies typically within one working day.
Ask a Question →You can book via the contact form, by WhatsApp, or by calling any of the three clinic receptions directly. For first consultations, most patients are seen at the Azure Center in New Jdeideh (PM hours) or Saint Joseph Hospital (AM hours). Choose whichever location and time is most convenient — the appointment, file and follow-up are all coordinated in one place.
If you are consulting about fertility or planning a pregnancy, attending together is strongly encouraged. A male partner's history and basic investigations are part of any complete fertility workup, and many of the decisions involved are shared. That said, you are also very welcome to come alone for an initial conversation.
The clinics accept most major Lebanese insurance providers as well as NSSF coverage for eligible procedures. Coverage for IVF and fertility-related interventions varies by plan; the clinic administration can confirm specifics in advance of your appointment if you share your policy details.
Laparoscopic procedure times depend on the indication — typically 45 minutes to 2 hours. Most patients return home the same day or after one overnight stay. Light activity is usually resumed within a few days; full return to exercise is generally at 3–4 weeks. A written post-operative plan is provided at discharge.
Yes. Every consultation closes with a written summary covering the working diagnosis, any tests requested, treatment options under consideration and the recommended timeline for follow-up. Brief questions between visits can be sent by WhatsApp; substantive matters are always discussed in clinic.
