Reviews
The majority of the reviews on Google Business about the Southwest Fertility Center are very positive.
Jessica, for example, describes the staff as sweet and caring. They helped her and her wife to become pregnant. She would return to the clinic for a second child. Antonia also praises the clinic staff. The patient describes Dr. Gunnala as the best doctor. Antonia did three cycles of Clomid and got pregnant. However, due to the age factor, she lost the baby. She still will return to the clinic and try again. She recommends the fertility clinic anytime. Also, Jess has made a positive experience. She needed a different IVF medication and instead of having to drive to Phoenix, one of the staff met her husband to pick up the medication. Furthermore, the patient also was successful in her first IVF cycle.
However, there are also some negative comments on the fertility clinic. Kaitlyn, for example, describes the billing manager as rude while trying to ask her some questions. While Tasia, on the other hand, appreciates that they make an effort to work with her insurance, she still has found some cons. She was at the clinic 10 times and the staff still doesn't remember her. She had to ask for every step and what needs to be done and is also not satisfied with the information about the test results. While calling for them she was placed on hold and asked repeatedly what kind of test she needs to ask for, who she is. etc.
