Review

On Google Business, patients are extremely content with their treatment at AFS. Megan describes Dr. Wang as one of the kindest, most compassionate doctors she ever had met. He takes his time to respond profoundly to patients questions and makes sure that the experience for both surrogate and intended parents is comfortable. According to Hanna, AFC is a very friendly and professional fertility clinic. She always felt comfortable and safe during her treatment. Both patients would highly recommend the clinic.

On FertilityIQ another positive user experience can be read. The patient emphasizes the compassionate and attentive manner of Dr Wang. She also values the personal approach of the doctor to the patient by adapting the protocols based on her body's response. Read more here: Fertility IQ: Review of American Fertility Services.

    1. My husband and I need a surrogate in order to have a baby. I got my uterus removed when I was 20 due to cervical cancer. Looking for some recommendations. Thank you so much.

      • Hello Icecream,

        I’m so sorry to hear that. I assume you both are US residents. There are numerous fertility clinics which offer surrogacy treatments. Which one you’ll choose depend on various factors such as cost, location and legal situation of your federal state.

        Therefore, I recommend you fill out our Fertility Report. This report includes a list with clinics in your area that provide surrogacy treatments as well as a cost estimate so you’ll get an idea what your treatment will cost.

        wish you all the best!
