Reviews

The majority of the reviews on Google Business about the Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology and are very positive.

Roslyn, for example, describes Dr. Gelety and his staff as nice and professional. The patient is thrilled about the consultation with the doctor who provided her a detailed analysis of her pregnancy chances, among other things. Victoria also made positive experiences with this clinic. What she appreciates is the fact that Dr. Gelety is straightforward and very knowledgeable. Also, the financial aspects are rated positively. There's transparency and the center offers good value for money.

However, there are also some negative comments. Khanifa, for example, had a positive first impression in 2013 which, however, changed in 2017. She felt that the doctor and his staff were cold and made mistakes with the date, among other things, which is why she didn't have an efficient treatment. Matt's first appointment went fine, but afterwards, he and his wife weren't provided with any further information. The staff was difficult to reach via e-mails or calls, too.
