Reviews
The reviews on Google Business about Arizona Center for Fertility Studies are in general very positive.
Ashley, for example, describes Dr. Lipskind as the kindest and caring person who always takes the time to answer all of his patient's questions. The patient also likes the nurses and staff of the clinic. Dominique agrees with the statement of Ashley. The doctor tranquilized her and helped investigate her fertility problem. The patient also describes the clinic atmosphere as soft and warm and would recommend this practice to anyone.
Also, Vivian made very positive experiences with the Arizona Center for Fertility Studies. Her doctor was willing to give her a tubal reversal instead of forcing her to a more expensive IVF. After the reversal, she was already successful at the first IUI cycle. Crissy made a similar experience. While it took her 5 failed IUI cycles at a different facility, she was finally able to conceive at the first attempt thanks to Dr. Lipskind.
However, there is also one negative comment from Sarah. She was a surrogate at the center and she experienced several miscommunications between the doctors and the support teams. As a result, she was overdosed on two medications and therefore, the embryo transfer wasn't successful. The team does not want to hand over her records to her, either.
