Doctor Introduction

Dr. AYKUT BAYRAK, United States


Dr. Bayrak is the founder and medical director of LA IVF, a Southern California fertility clinic group, and is one of the most highly regarded fertility specialists in the United States and internationally. He was born in Northampton, Massachusetts, raised in the Midwest and outside the United States, and lived in Boston and New York during medical school and training. After medical school, Dr. Bayrak conducted reproductive medicine research at the State University of New York, focusing on the initiation of egg growth and delaying menopause. Based on original research he performed as an intern, he received the Brooklyn Gynecological Society's “Prize Paper” award. After gaining research experience, he completed a four-year OB/GYN residency at New York Methodist Hospital–Weill Cornell Medical College. The Physicians Alumni Association named him “Best Resident,” and the following year he received the “Special Excellence in Endoscopic Procedures” award for his advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgical skills.


After training in general obstetrics and gynecology in New York, he completed a three-year reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. During his first fellowship year, he received the “Prize Paper” award at the 51st annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society for his landmark research on hyperprolactinemia. In subsequent years, he also received the Pacific Coast Obstetrical and Gynecological Society's Frank Lynch Memorial Essay Award, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine/Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Fellowship Research Prize Paper Award, a European Society for Photobiology fellowship, a Pacific Coast Reproductive Society award, and a Cook-Davajan Training Award. More recently, he was selected as a “Top Fertility Specialist” and named a “Doctor's Doctor.” Dr. Bayrak is dual board-certified in general obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive endocrinology and infertility.


Dr. Bayrak began his private practice career in Manhattan, New York, where he practiced for several years before returning to Los Angeles as medical director of the Southern California office of the nation's largest fertility practice. As founder and medical director of LA IVF, he continues his career with offices in West Los Angeles, Pasadena, Chino Hills, and San Diego.


Dr. Bayrak's clinical expertise includes treating unexplained infertility, diminished ovarian reserve, advanced reproductive age, complex infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, laparoscopic pelvic surgery, third-party reproduction (egg/sperm donation and surrogacy), egg freezing, and ovulatory disorders such as hyperprolactinemia and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). His clinical interests include applying preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in IVF and preserving fertility through egg freezing (oocyte vitrification).


Dr. Bayrak reports that in 2010, Southern California's first baby was born from a genetically tested frozen egg. He also treated some of the first preimplantation genetic testing cases, formerly known as CGH, using ultra-rapid freezing and comprehensive chromosome and genetic screening of embryos, resulting in live births.


He has written numerous scientific abstracts, articles, and medical textbook chapters on ovarian aging, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), egg donation, and embryo transfer techniques. Dr. Bayrak has presented his research as an invited speaker at national and international scientific conferences. He currently participates in continuing medical education (CME) lectures for residents and general obstetrician-gynecologists. He reviews for the leading journals Fertility and Sterility and The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.


Dr. Bayrak is a diplomate of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (SREI), Pacific Coast Reproductive Society (PCRS), American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL), and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). He is currently licensed to practice in New York, New Jersey, and California and is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena.


Dr. Bayrak enjoys skiing, soccer, travel, and spending time with his family. A perfectionist, he is committed to providing patients with the highest level of care and helping them achieve their goal of having a child.

    Great clinic. Dr. Bayrak was very attentive and took excellent care of me. He is highly professional. Excellent physician and clinic. Very punctual.
    Feb 7, 2025
    This is the most amazing fertility clinic. If you want a complete evaluation and honest answers about infertility, I highly recommend this place. The doctor is the most patient professional I have ever met. The staff is also extremely kind, professional, and well organized. I was deeply impressed by the professionalism of this office. We quickly identified my problem and prepared me for a successful future pregnancy. I am so glad my friend referred me here. I will definitely recommend this office to all my family and friends. I trust this doctor so much that I even asked for a referral to an OB-GYN whom Dr. Bayrak also trusts.

    Dr. Bayrak and his team are wonderful. He is calm and patient and explains everything in detail. He never rushes questions and spends as much time discussing them as needed until you feel comfortable. He inspires hope while staying grounded in facts and data. He communicates important information directly to patients, and his team is always available to help. Dr. Bayrak's “we will not give up” attitude truly helps during a stressful and difficult process. LA IVF is the best. (Writing this at 8 weeks pregnant, thanks to Dr. Bayrak!)

    I have worked with Dr. Bayrak several times, consulted him about family matters, and referred friends and relatives. What impressed me most was how thoroughly he explained every possible option and the process involved with each, never holding back or tiring of questions. During the initial consultation and later visits, you often hear him ask several times, “Do you have any other questions?” to ensure that patients, partners, surrogates, donors, or anyone else involved leave with no unanswered questions. He has one of the best bedside manners of any physician I have met, and I have met many. I highly recommend Dr. Bayrak as anyone's IVF physician. You will be very pleased throughout the process and with the final outcome.

    I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Bayrak and his team. I highly recommend him for his timely, caring approach when I needed it most. He generously spent time answering every question I had during IVF. I visited three clinics and spent considerable money and time before finding him. He felt different from our first meeting. He explained the entire process in detail and gave us a customized treatment plan. My husband and I felt hopeful again. This is a very sensitive process, and I am fortunate that I trusted him. We conceived twins after our first IVF cycle. Thank you, Dr. Bayrak! I greatly appreciate your guidance, knowledge, and care!

    We are pregnant! What a roller-coaster experience! Dr. Bayrak and his team were outstanding throughout this long, difficult, and anxious process. Dr. Bayrak was extremely attentive and always made sure every question was answered. Our first transfer resulted in pregnancy, and honestly, I still cannot believe Dr. Bayrak and his team were as excited as my husband. It was truly a team effort, and now we are patiently awaiting our due date. Thank you, LA IVF Clinic!

    A few years ago, Dr. Bayrak told me I could not conceive naturally and needed IVF. After two failed IVF cycles at this clinic, I conceived naturally. The staff here are very rude and talk about patients behind their backs. They only want money and do not care about you.

    We are deeply grateful to Dr. Aykut Bayrak and the entire LA IVF team for helping us achieve our dream of becoming parents. From day one, Dr. Bayrak was direct, honest, and clear about every step of the process. That transparency was exactly what we needed, and we greatly appreciated it. They did not sugarcoat anything; they simply provided facts, thoughtful guidance, and unwavering commitment to our outcome. This approach gave us confidence and trust and helped us navigate the highs and lows of IVF. We were very fortunate that our first FET resulted in pregnancy, and thanks to Dr. Bayrak's expertise and attentive care, we now have a healthy, beautiful daughter. The clinic staff were also excellent—always responsive, compassionate, and organized. We never felt alone and always knew what to expect. Dr. Bayrak is not only an expert in his field, but also a dedicated advocate for his patients who is committed to achieving the best possible outcome. We are incredibly grateful for his help in realizing our dream of a family.

    Overall, I did not receive the results I expected. My first egg retrieval produced only one egg, which did not reach the embryo stage. This was devastating, especially because I had been told at my last appointment to expect 6-8 eggs. My second retrieval took place the next cycle. Despite a slightly different protocol, the result was the same. With my estradiol dropping sharply and remaining low, I could not accept proceeding with another retrieval only to obtain one egg. I sought a second opinion. The doctor confirmed that continuing retrievals would likely produce only 1-2 eggs. My ovarian reserve was not diminished; in fact, I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). People with PCOS usually have more eggs, with quality rather than quantity being the challenge. I completed a third retrieval with another doctor and obtained 34 eggs without complications or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome [OHSS]. I summarized the advantages and disadvantages of my experience to help others navigate the process. Pros: No waiting; appointments are usually on time. You do not feel rushed and can ask Dr. Bayrak any questions. The clinic performs retrievals, cryopreservation, and many other steps on site, making IVF more convenient than visiting multiple clinics. They accept most insurance plans and WinFertility. Cons: Costs lack transparency. My out-of-pocket cost changed and increased after the first retrieval. The second retrieval cost $250 more without advance notice; I learned only when paying. The explanation was simply, “We raised our prices,” although it was only one month after my first retrieval. When problems arise, no one takes responsibility, and direct answers about poor outcomes are difficult to obtain. In my case, the wrong tube was used for a blood draw, so the laboratory could not perform the correct test. I had to repeat the draw, but the second sample was lost. I finally received results on the third attempt, with no explanation. At one cycle-start appointment, I was told I could not begin for another three weeks because of the clinic's batching process. Only after pressing for an explanation was I told it was due to batching and an upcoming holiday. This could have been communicated in advance. The clinic appears determined to retain as much of your money as possible. If you stop treatment because of the current cycle's outcome, as I did, be prepared to follow up for months to obtain refunds for services not provided. My out-of-pocket payment included ICSI, embryology laboratory fees, PGT, and cryopreservation/storage. Just before my refund was processed, I was told about a previously undisclosed $4,000 “cancellation/coordination fee.” After repeated follow-up, it was reduced to $1,000, but I still received no clear explanation of what it covered or when it had been disclosed. Despite my efforts, the clinic refused to refund it and stopped responding. My blood samples were repeatedly lost, requiring multiple painful redraws. The clinic often failed to call with results as promised, forcing me to follow up constantly. Finally, the clinic does not validate parking, so every appointment costs at least $10 to $15 for parking. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this clinic. I hope this information helps at least one person.

    When evaluating service, I believe nothing speaks more clearly than a new life. If you are reading this, I sincerely wish you luck on this difficult journey. Regardless of what others say, every IVF journey is different, so prepare for an emotional roller coaster. We were fortunate to succeed on our first attempt with Dr. Bayrak, after two failed attempts at two other clinics. We later had two failed attempts with him, but fortunately our most recent one succeeded. Compared with other doctors, I believe he has seen a wider variety of cases, which alone enables him to offer better advice. Our situation as a couple was fairly typical, and we were even younger than most IVF patients. We noticed that other doctors seemed to prefer patients from certain demographic or income groups. Dr. Bayrak and his team were very thoughtful and attentive to our needs. I cannot express how grateful I am that the doctor and team took ample time to discuss even basic questions with us, despite knowing other patients were waiting. Still, you must be realistic: this is ultimately a chemical and biological process used to create life, and different doctors may use broadly similar methods to reach the same result. Everyone must endure some hardship to achieve an outcome, but the final result is absolutely worth it.

    I am currently pregnant thanks to IVF treatment with Dr. Bayrak, and I believe this is a fair and balanced review. I could not conceive naturally because of a condition requiring surgery, which I also had at this clinic. The medical care was excellent from beginning to end. Dr. Bayrak stands out for his responsiveness and attention to detail. He answers emails after hours and on weekends and never makes appointments feel rushed. I often ask many questions, and he always responds patiently, thoroughly, and respectfully rather than hurrying to the next patient. I most appreciate his approach to decisions. He listens carefully to my ideas and works with me when they are medically reasonable. When they are not, he takes time to explain why and discuss alternatives. Based on my conversations with other medical professionals, his approach is consistent and well reasoned. The nursing staff are also wonderful, especially Mariana and Vanessa, who are very gentle and caring. The only drawback is the financial side, which can sometimes feel uncomfortable and transactional. This does not reflect the doctor's medical skill, but it is worth noting. Overall, I am grateful, because without IVF and Dr. Bayrak's attentive care, I would not be where I am today.

    The office manager was unwelcoming and cold. Dr. Bayrak was distant and did not treat patients very well. We did not have a good experience at this facility. The medical assistant who helped guide you through the process was very helpful and calming, but aside from that, it was a terrible experience.

    Dr. Bayrak is one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever had the privilege of working with. After a very painful experience at another clinic, where the focus seemed to be solely on making me pregnant rather than on the pregnancy's health or safety, I was determined to find a doctor who would listen, seek the correct diagnosis, and collaborate on a plan that was safe, effective, and aligned with our family's goals. Dr. Bayrak was the right person for the role. After learning our history, the first thing he did was express sympathy for our loss and promise to help us find a better solution. It was so refreshing to change from doctors who no longer seemed to treat me as a person but as a petri dish. During the first few months, we worked together and used every available tool to diagnose the nature of my infertility, which gave me a strong sense of ownership over our journey. When it was time to proceed with IVF, my retrieval was very easy, painless, and efficient, nothing like the painful overstimulation I had previously experienced. The transfer was equally smooth, and our first FET succeeded. Throughout the process, my emotions and anxiety were addressed with compassion and information. No question was too foolish. I never felt rushed or disconnected from the process. I am now 28 weeks pregnant with our baby girl, and this pregnancy has been far easier than my previous pregnancies. Dr. Bayrak monitored me until 10 weeks, and I have been with my obstetrician since then. I am incredibly excited to welcome the newest member of our family very soon, and to have reached this point much faster than we expected. If, or perhaps when, we decide to continue growing our family, I am glad to know Dr. Bayrak will accompany me on that journey as well. It truly felt like a partnership, and for the first time in years of dealing with infertility, I felt seen.

    My husband and I tried to have a child for 3 years without making any progress until I met Dr. Bayrak. He is the most compassionate doctor I have ever met. He made sure I felt comfortable and safe before every procedure. I trust him with my life and am extremely grateful because we now have a healthy 2-year-old girl. He made our dream come true, and we are now excited to have our second baby next year!

    An extremely unprofessional fertility clinic. Save your time and money and choose a different clinic. I had the worst experience with Dr. Bayrak and his office staff, especially office manager Stacey Huggins.
    Feb 6, 2020
    I am very happy with the treatment I received from Dr. Bayrak. He and his nurse treated me very well 👍 and answered all my questions. He performed my embryo transfer, and I am now 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I completely recommend this clinic. I was concerned that I would not understand because my language is Spanish, but he has a very kind nurse who always translated what he needed to tell me.
    Feb 21, 2025
    Excellent clinic and doctor. Dr. Bayrak is highly professional and meticulous. I enjoyed working with him.
    Mar 24, 2026
    I saw Dr. Bayrak here throughout my treatment, and the level of care was consistently excellent. He was attentive, explained things clearly, and was always willing to answer my questions in detail. I felt well supported throughout treatment.

    The slowest staff and doctor. My appointment check-in was at 9:30, I arrived at 9:15, and it is now 10:58 a.m., but I still have not been seen.

    The staff are friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. Dr. Bayrak is always on time. At other clinics, you may not even see the doctor. I am currently expecting our second baby :) My husband and I are very grateful to the entire staff!

    I found Dr. Bayrak after seeing 3 other fertility doctors in the Los Angeles area. I had no personal referral, but I read reviews about successful pregnancies and his medical background, so I scheduled a consultation. By the time I reached his office, I had dealt with many medical issues related to infertility, so my standard was that he not sugarcoat my chances. I wanted honest facts, and he gave them to me. My chances were not high. I had to do a great deal of “work” to prepare for transfer. Eight months after meeting him, I finally had an embryo transfer, and it succeeded! I have a 2-year-old running around the house. For a long time, I thought that was impossible. Now I am pregnant again and due in February, thanks to Dr. Bayrak. His ability to assess the situation and provide a path forward made it all possible.
    Dec 4, 2022
    Dr. Bayrak helped me when large clinics said I would never have a child without using an egg donor. He is willing to accept difficult cases that others refuse because they fear damaging their success statistics. He is a miracle worker!

    This person will rush you, charge you before and after, then bill your insurance, which will charge you additional amounts. We paid for ultrasounds and laboratory work, then received bills for consultation fees and additional laboratory deductibles.

    Of 29 eggs retrieved at age 39, only 11 survived thawing. Statistically, with approximately 20% attrition, 23-25 should have survived. I became pregnant at age 42 after leaving this clinic, suggesting that egg quality may not have been the issue. After thawing the eggs, the embryologist asked, “Was there a problem with the egg freezing?” I am currently seeing another IVF clinic for baby number 2.

    Hello, I want to thank Dr. Bayrak because he helped my wife become pregnant after many years of trying. I highly recommend this clinic and thank Dr. Bayrak and his entire team for everything they did. They are all good people and treat you well. I recommend them.
