    An excellent IVF center.
    Feb 5, 2024
    I found Dr. Smotrich through extensive research and a friend's recommendation. My friend was also older and had faced IVF challenges. I had a terrible experience with another provider and wanted another professional opinion. After transferring my records to Dr. Smotrich, we discussed his recommendations and what I was looking for. I felt our plan aligned because I was already 42 and somewhat desperate because I was "running out of time." Although my first egg retrieval did not produce any viable embryos, I still believed a successful outcome was possible if I continued following the doctor's protocol. Keep in mind that the protocol was not very aggressive. On my third retrieval, we finally obtained only 2 viable embryos. I decided to transfer both, and one successfully implanted and resulted in pregnancy. Nine months later, I have my miracle baby boy, thanks to Dr. Smotrich and his excellent office staff. Everyone was very kind and explained everything to me. I will always be grateful. It is also worth noting that I never felt like I was just a transaction to Dr. S. He genuinely cares about his patients and about helping people have children.

    The best experience possible! Dr. Smotrich was excellent and highly professional. The staff were wonderful too, and my wife and I felt comfortable. We now have our baby girl and could not be happier. Every step was incredible, and we are very grateful to Dr. Smotrich and his staff. Thank you!

    Working with this clinic was extremely frustrating. Some office staff were very rude and seemed unable to track orders or patient charts. I was referred there for outside monitoring and would never recommend it; I only used them because I had no other option. It took 3-7 calls just to schedule an appointment. I cannot comment on their IVF services, but for outside monitoring they were terrible and caused a great deal of stress.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Smotrich and Lupe. They made my trip from North Carolina worthwhile! I had a stressful day before arriving, but left feeling so happy and amazed. I highly recommend them!

    Very professional.

    In August 2010, I underwent egg retrieval. When I said I felt unwell, I was called a “drama queen” after returning to the hotel. I ultimately needed emergency surgery and nearly died. They also forced me to sign documents intended to silence me... I had to use a surrogate and pay all the costs myself, although I should have been compensated... I am only speaking out now, but I should have done so years ago.

    Dr. Smotrich is caring, positive, and knowledgeable. I have been to four fertility clinics, and I am very grateful that I ultimately chose La Jolla IVF and his team.
