Reviews

As can be seen on Google Business, fertility patients are generally extremely satisfied with their patient care received at San Diego Fertility Center.

Moreover, users on platforms like yelp.com also express their gratitude towards the fertility clinic. What they like most is the seamless support and control during the IVF process by numerous fertility professionals. Patients feel confident and trust the staff member who distinguish themselves through their empathy and compassion.

Besides the treatments itself, patients also value the short wait times and easy parking facilities at the clinic.

While the majority of the reviews are extremely favorable, there are also some negative comments on the the fertility procedures itself on yelp.com

User Flash for example started here when trying to get pregnant and had to switch doctors as hers went on maternity leave. One day the patient went in for fresh transfer when her doctor suggested she hold off because of high numbers. However, having had high numbers before, nobody told her canceling was possible. Subsequently, she had failed 3 embryo transfers. She was suggested a surrogate. As she had gotten pregnant twice before, the patient knew she definitely doesn't need a surrogate.

So she went to Dr Morales for a second opinion and that's when things started to be in her favor. The doctor went through her history and depicted all the areas that went wrong with her cycle.

As a consequence, Flash Z. started a new IVF cycle with Dr Morales and was finally able to get pregnant the first time.
