    I love them 💗. It has been a long journey since 2018, and now it is 2025 and we did it.

    Working with SJF during my journey to grow my family was a wonderful experience. After complications following the birth of my first child, I did not know whether I could have another. Thanks to SJF's excellent doctors and nurses, they made my dream a reality. They worked to determine which treatment plan was right for me, and their unwavering optimism helped me feel at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend them. Thank you, SJF!

    I am so grateful to South Jersey Fertility Center! After two failed transfers and two egg retrieval cycles, we are finally pregnant! I would not be here today without Dr. Van Deerlin. He is very kind and genuinely cares about his patients. Karyn was my IVF nurse, and she was wonderful to work with and always very kind. All the other doctors and nurses were wonderful too!

    I cannot thank everyone at this facility enough! After nearly a decade of trying, along with life's setbacks and grief, South Jersey Fertility far exceeded our expectations. Every provider was equally attentive to my health and testing and genuinely cared about me. After our second IUI, our baby is due in August, and I just completed my first trimester! My husband and I will always be grateful that they helped us achieve our dream of becoming parents. I would give 100 stars if I could.

    The doctors and staff are so kind, patient, and communicative. Special credit to Dr. Sawin, Melissa, Dana, and Tracy — they have gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, supported, and informed every step of the way. I’m so grateful for their care and highly recommend South Jersey Fertility to anyone looking for a team that genuinely cares.

    The doctor was excellent, but the paperwork was somewhat troublesome.

    We had an amazing experience at SJF. All testing went smoothly, and we quickly identified the problem, which thankfully was treatable. I became pregnant in the second month, and we received the best early-pregnancy care during a stage that often has many uncertainties. Many thanks to all the nurses and doctors who helped us on our fertility journey.

    SJF made the entire experience so easy. Everyone, from the office staff to the doctors, was kind and professional! I highly recommend South Jersey Fertility.
    Jul 11, 2025
    I highly recommend SJF. We saw Dr. Van Deerlin, Dr. Sawin, and Dr. Weisman, and had a very positive impression of all of them. Amber often drew my blood and did an excellent job; I felt at ease every time I saw her. Kate was our IVF nurse and was very attentive and kind. Overall, we had a wonderful team that helped us through a difficult process. The doctors always offered valuable advice and listened carefully to our views. I received attentive care throughout. I must give special thanks to the embryologists. They work behind the scenes and we rarely see them, but they helped create all the miracles. Thank you, SJF!

    Everyone at SJFC was extremely helpful during both my pregnancies. I am very grateful for their help, support, and reassurance.
    Jul 8, 2025
    Thanks to these kind people, my husband and I have our daughter! Now we are also expecting our son thanks to them! Everyone at Sjfert is very kind, helpful, and caring. I will always be grateful because they helped me have the family I dreamed of! They are wonderful people!

    The staff were very friendly and respectful. The environment was clean and tidy. The wait was reasonable, and privacy was excellent. Amber was very gentle during the laboratory work. Dr. Weismann was knowledgeable, professional, and an excellent communicator. She explained everything in great detail and gave me plenty of time to ask questions. Tracy Krause and Melissa were very professional and understanding.

    Using a patient’s BMI to determine what treatment they should receive is outdated. Many doctors say BMI does not account for every patient. It was invented in 1830, for heaven’s sake. Do not come here if you are even slightly overweight. My first appointment was by telehealth, and they were very kind and encouraging. However, when I entered the clinic, I felt they were looking down on and judging me. All my lab results showed that everything was normal—better than expected for my age—and I felt great. Yet they told me they would not even review my results with me until my BMI was below 36. Later, when I visited my regular OB-GYN, the system showed that they had reviewed my results with me, although all they had done was call and say I had a genetic defect. That may also constitute fraud, especially if they billed my insurance for it. Edit: They claim their BMI requirement is different. Perhaps they need to address this with their staff. The receptionist told me in advance that unless my BMI was below 36, they could not review my test results with me, proceed with further testing, or provide any treatment, including medication. Perhaps they need to train their staff better. Please save yourself the trouble and do not come here. It is sad that we live in a world where the standard they follow was invented by someone in 1830.

    What a great experience we had at SJFC. So thankful to have a small office close to us in EHT, where the staff were very kind and supportive. We traveled to the Marlton office for procedures where we were also met with kindness and on time appointments. Any time I had a question, even after hours I received feedback right away. The app kept me up to date in a timely fashion with all results and appts. Staff made it very easy to communicate/ explain instructions and medications via phone, email and paperwork. We are so grateful to the staff and SJFC for giving us our miracle! highly recommend this fertility center

    Highly recommended. Communication was excellent, the staff were warm and friendly, and I am very grateful for their help.
    Nov 13, 2025
    Every staff member was kind and helpful. They patiently answered all my questions, even repeated ones, without the condescending attitude sometimes found among medical specialists. Fertility issues of any kind place enormous emotional strain on patients, and everyone at SJFC handled everything with grace and kindness, providing tremendous support at every step of our care.

    Both my husband and I could hear a nurse say, ‘Someone has to tell her this is never going to work.’ I had already tried many times but wanted to attempt one more IUI here. I felt completely dismissed, as though they did not even want me there throughout my final cycle. The feeling was sickening. I went to a new clinic and succeeded, but I will never forget how they treated me during such a painful journey.
    Oct 21, 2025
    I recently had a baby with SJF’s help. The entire staff was outstanding, and I benefited greatly from their professional expertise. They identified the problem and found the best treatment plan for me.
    Oct 3, 2025
    Great clinic! I had a wonderful experience from the start. All the doctors were kind, professional, and knowledgeable.
    Jan 31, 2026
    Thank you!! I look forward to returning for baby number two in a few years.

    Do not go to this clinic! About three years ago, after difficulty conceiving, I went to SJF. My dissatisfaction began when I started IVF. My egg retrieval outcomes were poor, and I met with doctors several times to understand the problem and how to improve. Each time they were vague, saying I could try certain things if I wanted but offering no specific treatment plan. I had to research every major decision and judge its value myself instead of receiving guidance from medical professionals with decades of experience. I have never known a specialist unable to provide direction. My time and money were wasted, and I regret not changing clinics sooner. I felt like a number in a deli line and received no personalized treatment. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Dougherty and Dr. Manara at the Center for Reproductive Medicine. They are the best doctors I have met and genuinely care about every patient. I also disliked the receptionist repeatedly saying that I, rather than my husband, paid the copay. That was extremely rude.
    Jan 1, 2026
    I recommend my experience at SJF to everyone, so it is time to write a review. Infertility is a dark period for most people, but all the staff, especially at Marlton, were very supportive and professional. I will always be grateful. Graduation day was bittersweet because you work closely with the entire staff during treatment.

    If you want to be judged for your weight or age or undergo repeated—and in my case unnecessary—tests, this clinic is for you. My weight met a certain threshold from my first appointment, but they never mentioned that it would prevent treatment. They required several invasive tests and repeated blood work, each with a copay and insurance billing. Only after I completed every supposedly necessary test and paid all charges did they say they could not help unless my weight met another standard. Why not say so initially? This clinic seems more interested in billing insurers, making money, and judging patients than helping people conceive. Fortunately, I chose another nearby clinic, not RMA. My first appointment there was September 10, and I was pregnant by October—even at age 40 and with a BMI South Jersey Fert considered too high. If you want compassionate, genuinely personalized care, avoid this clinic.

    After the pain of recurrent pregnancy loss, South Jersey Fertility helped us find answers with exceptional care and compassion. Now we can finally celebrate the holiday with our son. Forever grateful.
    Apr 19, 2026
    I just had my first consultation with nurse practitioner Morgan, who was knowledgeable, warm, and very professional. We spent a full hour on Zoom reviewing my submitted documents, answering questions about the process, and identifying next steps. I still need to confirm costs with billing, but my communication with the staff so far has made me confident in choosing them as my provider.

    Do not go. Stay away.

    I hesitated to write this because infertility is deeply personal, but I feel responsible for sharing my experience so other women can make informed choices. I saw a different doctor almost every visit. That alone was not a problem, but continuity of care suffered. At every appointment, they gave me incorrect verbal information: they misstated my husband's sperm count before IUI, asked whether it was my first IUI when it was not, and gave incorrect medication doses. I repeatedly had to correct doctors and show them my records. It was unsettling and felt as though they had not reviewed my chart. I left every visit confused about the reasoning behind their recommendations. Communication was extremely poor, with no app or similar direct-contact tool used by most fertility clinics. As a healthcare professional, I understand efficiency, but they seemed to have no time for questions or explanations. My HSG there was a nightmare. I specifically asked whether to take medication beforehand and was told none was needed. I was in severe pain, and afterward the doctor smirked and said, “You passed the first test, because this is what childbirth feels like!” Afterward, a medical assistant quietly suggested medication for next time, as though pain management for women were a secret. After my second IUI, which they performed without telling me the number of mature eggs—information that would have made me decline because of the multiple-pregnancy risk—I switched to RMA Marlton. The experience was entirely different and personalized. A dedicated nurse called after every monitoring visit with results, and the app provided direct access to nursing, billing, and every department, as well as easy scheduling. My doctor, Franasiak, is amazing. I am now 36 weeks pregnant with a baby girl :-)

    This clinic should be closed and lose its license. I am a survivor of medical abuse at this practice and am finally ready to describe my treatment by Dr. Van Deerlin and Dr. Weisman. My Axia OB-GYN referred me after I spent ten years pleading for help with pelvic pain and suspected endometriosis. As reproductive endocrinologists, these doctors should diagnose and treat endometriosis. Dr. Weisman initially recommended an HSG and hysteroscopy, performed on consecutive days in 2020. I raised concerns about pain management because pelvic-floor dysfunction causes days of pain after any stimulation. They said the tests did not hurt and gave me half the lowest Valium dose, which did not relieve anxiety or pain. My memory is incomplete because I fainted during one procedure. I believe an endometrial biopsy was performed during the hysteroscopy without informed consent. I remember severe pain, pleading and shouting for her to stop. She did not stop; her nurse forcibly held me down until I fainted, and they continued. I believe trauma blocked the memory until years later, when Labcorp told me I owed for an endometrial biopsy I had not known about. The memories later returned in therapy. At another visit, Dr. Van Deerlin told me I had endometriosis, could never conceive naturally, and should begin IVF immediately if I wanted children because I was too old. I was 30, not ready for children, and had never tried to conceive. He was wrong: I conceived on my first attempt after stopping birth control. I have always felt fertility care can be profit-driven, but his behavior was unconscionable. Find an ethical, compassionate doctor. I would not want someone like this near my child.

    I have been with SJF for over two years and cannot say enough good things about them. I previously attended another clinic in Pennsylvania, then my husband and I moved to New Jersey and found SJF. At the previous clinic, we felt completely ignored and excluded, but we never felt that way at SJF. We immediately received attentive care. Every doctor I met explained everything in detail. You can genuinely feel that every doctor and nurse is rooting for you and cares deeply. We struggled with infertility for four years. After two egg retrievals and four embryo transfers, I am now 8 weeks pregnant with our miracle baby. I graduated from SJF today, and I cried. I built lasting, meaningful relationships with my doctors and nurses. Special thanks to Dr. Sawin, Dr. Kuzbari, and Dr. Van Deerlin. Most of my appointments were at the Sewell office, where Barb at the front desk is wonderful. Morgan and Alicia are excellent nurses whose advice has meant a great deal to me, and I plan to stay in touch with them. I will miss everyone very much, but I cannot wait to bring the baby to the office one day to meet them! Highly recommended! Never give up!

    I would recommend SJ Fertility again and again! From the start of our journey, I felt supported, seen, and respected. All the doctors, nurses, and staff are knowledgeable and took time to explain everything to me! I will always be grateful to SJ Fertility. ❤️
    Aug 4, 2025
    I transferred to SJ Fertility from another nearby clinic. Appointments are convenient, responses are prompt, and everything is well organized. Most importantly, you never feel like a number. The doctors personally perform the clinic’s ultrasounds, so you can ask questions at every appointment. Overall, it was an excellent experience!

    I had a wonderful experience at South Jersey Fertility Center. Throughout the process, the staff were consistently kind, supportive, and professional. They helped me feel at ease and hopeful during an emotional time. I am very grateful for their attentive care. Although I have now left the clinic, I will always appreciate everything they did for me. Highly recommended to anyone seeking compassionate, knowledgeable fertility care.
    Aug 27, 2025
    I had a very positive experience at South Jersey Fertility Center. The staff were extremely responsive, and I appreciated how they continually adjusted the treatment plan so it never felt as though time was being wasted. Everyone I interacted with was compassionate and attentive, making the entire process feel more human. By comparison, during two cycles at RMA, I felt more like a number in the system—almost like a laboratory rat—than a patient receiving care. South Jersey Fertility Center was a refreshing change, and I am grateful for the support I received there.

    If you are looking for the right place to start your family SJF is it. My wife and I have spent the last year with them (primarily Sewell location) and can’t say enough. The journey of fertility looks different for everyone and isn’t always easy.. ours wasn’t always easy, but having a dedicated team makes all the difference. I think the biggest thing for us was the love and care we felt by the staff no matter what phase we were in. We are pregnant with our first baby and none of it would be possible without SJF. We truly found a family in SJF for life.

    My infertility journey was filled with despair, exhaustion, loneliness, and sadness. After trying for a year, we chose South Jersey Fertility Center with hope. Their doctors and nurses gave us the best treatment and diagnosis. They are the best medical team in the world 💗💗💗 After two cycles of Clomid plus intrauterine insemination (IUI), I became pregnant 🤰 Yay!
    Apr 29, 2026
    My experience at South Jersey Fertility Center was wonderful. From the beginning, my husband and I felt fully supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. Everyone we met—from the doctors and nurses to the embryologists, financial team, and front desk staff—was kind, thoughtful, and responsive. No matter what we asked, they answered patiently, took time to explain everything clearly, and guided us through this emotional and stressful journey. What stood out was not only their expertise but also their empathy. They truly understand what patients are going through and create an atmosphere that is both professional and compassionate. If you are considering beginning your fertility journey, I highly recommend South Jersey Fertility Center. You will receive excellent care here.

    This is a wonderful clinic. The doctors and nurses are excellent and make you feel at home. I would recommend it to anyone beginning treatment.
    Sep 7, 2017
    Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Sawin. You will not find a more skilled, kind, and professional doctor or surgeon in this field. Dr. Sawin takes time to explain all treatment options. After the first visit, you will finally feel that you understand what is happening and what your treatment options are. I tried other approaches without success. After enduring severe pain for a year, I am glad my regular OB-GYN referred me to Dr. Sawin. My surgery went perfectly. Dr. Sawin and his team are amazing. I finally feel normal again! I had felt as if I were possessed by an alien. You will receive care beyond your expectations. I wish Dr. Sawin could address all my medical needs. I am so grateful for this doctor! I highly recommend Dr. Sawin and his team. Love, Martha.
    Jun 21, 2018
    I highly recommend Dr. Sawin for concerns related to endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and fertility. Dr. Sawin performed surgery on me in 2014, and one of my nurses at the hospital praised him for helping her and her husband have two children. He is knowledgeable, attentive, and patient, listens carefully to patients' concerns, and has an excellent bedside manner.
