I would give zero stars if I could. I did not have a good experience. The clinic staff came across as cold, unfriendly, and condescending. My initial evaluation had two parts: the first was online and the second was in person. Because I have some ongoing health issues, the doctor wanted me to see all my specialists for medical clearance before scheduling the second part. The clinic was supposed to call me to schedule it but never did. When I called, the person seemed rude and did not want to schedule it until I had seen all the specialists, almost as though they did not want to work with me at all. It was then delayed for more than a month because the doctor was on vacation. It felt as though they did not want to work with me because I was too high-risk. At my second in-person appointment, I felt rejected, as though they truly did not want to work with me. This is an emotional experience, and it is ten times worse when you do not feel supported by the doctor involved!

This was not a good experience for us. My wife saw a different doctor/provider at each visit. No one seemed to take ownership of her case. The first doctor she saw kept calling her “dear,” which was unwelcome and felt outdated and strange. (For context, we are also physicians.) It is also telling that they emailed me asking for a review rather than my wife. Overall, it was a poor experience. I am only leaving a review because they subscribed me to their email list even though I did not request it, and they specifically asked for a review. So here it is.

I had a very good experience at Reproductive Partners Fertility Center. I was impressed by the clinic’s professional and efficient management of procedures. All the doctors were kind and welcoming. The nurses and coordinators were very supportive. The first cycle produced good fertilization results. Although the PGS yield was not good, the first attempt was still remarkable considering my age. The embryology team was especially excellent. The embryologist called promptly with progress updates. Laboratory manager Zhang Wei was very professional and patiently answered all my questions. Overall, I am very satisfied with the medical care provided by this clinic. The surgical process was seamless, procedures were performed on the same floor, meditation and transportation were easy, the instructions were very clear, and last but not least, garage parking was convenient.

We had a wonderful experience at RPFC. Dr. Su was excellent and helped us through the crazy IVF journey. We appreciated her conservative approach and felt that she truly considered the science and the long term for me and our future child. We felt supported throughout the process and always had great experiences with every doctor and nurse we worked with. We now have a healthy 7-year-old boy who keeps us very busy!
Apr 15, 2025
Reproductive Partners Fertility Center was very helpful at every step of my IVF journey. They have coordinators who work directly with you to keep you on your medication and treatment plan so the doctors can focus on the medical aspects. They handled my information very carefully when I did not want to know the sex of the embryo, and they were very helpful when I wanted to know whether I was having a boy or girl. My two-year-old son is here because of RPFC! Thank you!
May 21, 2025
Dr. Su was with us through life's highs and lows over the past four years until we received our miracle. Throughout the process, she was caring, warm, and very patient. We truly could not have found a better reproductive endocrinologist. We recommend Dr. Su to everyone who asks, and we will be forever grateful to her!
May 21, 2025
The doctors, phlebotomists, front desk staff—everyone was wonderful and supportive throughout our long journey!
Apr 28, 2025
Reproductive Partners has been wonderful throughout my IVF journey. We have been with them for over a year. The staff are very kind and extremely helpful, and all the doctors there are excellent! I have never felt more seen and heard. :)
Jul 18, 2025
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Wynot. She made me feel very comfortable and reassured about my upcoming treatment. She also helped prepare me for chemotherapy. Thank you, Dr. Wynot.
Jun 24, 2025
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Su. She is kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate. From the first appointment, she made me feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Su patiently explained everything, answered all my questions, and guided me through treatment with patience and empathy. I feel fortunate to have her as my doctor—she truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dr. Su, for your exceptional care!
Jun 10, 2025
Excellent care, treatment, and facilities. I felt comfortable, informed, respected, and safe throughout.
Jun 8, 2025
I highly recommend Dr. Irene Su. She is compassionate, practical, and exceptionally skilled—everything you could want in an IVF doctor. Dr. Su brings expertise and empathy to every appointment, making a stressful treatment process feel manageable and supportive. From the clinic environment to her personalized care, the entire experience exceeded expectations. You will be in excellent hands with her.

Thank you to Dr. Duleba, Rachelle, Jacey, Elizabeth and Jennifer G. at the front desk, Lisa, and all the staff. I am 40 years old, and my first IVF cycle failed. This time, Dr. Duleba helped me obtain five healthy, high-quality embryos. My husband and I are very happy and have great confidence in our team. Thank you so much, Dr. Duleba, for helping complete our family. Our son is now 4 months old.

The RPSD team is friendly, welcoming, helpful, and professional! I highly recommend Reproductive Partners San Diego for your reproductive and fertility needs!
Aug 5, 2025
Had an amazing experience with Dr.Stanhiser, Ashley, and Leann. Would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.
Aug 1, 2025
The teams at RPSD and La Jolla Women’s Surgery Center were excellent. Every step was handled with great care, making me feel like a person rather than a number. Special thanks to Jaycee at RPSD and nurse Ashley at the surgery center—you both went above and beyond. I am deeply grateful.

I recommend this clinic to everyone! Dr. Stanhiser is wonderful, and I am very grateful to the team.

I cannot say enough good things about this hospital and all its staff. The doctors are very kind, and I am so grateful to them. Thank you, Dr. Anglin!
Aug 30, 2025
My experience was so amazing at La Jolla Women’s Surgery center! Christine took great care of me, she made me feel comfortable and calm throughout my surgery. She is very professional, kind, and sweet! Sharon was so wonderful too. Thank you to all the staff here. Dr. Anglin is the best doctor, I am very lucky to be her patient. I can’t say enough how happy I am with my experience here.
Aug 30, 2025
The RPSD center is an amazing clinic. From walking in and meeting with my nurse Sarah, to chatting with the anesthesiologist and my doctor (Dr. Anglin), they all made me feel comfortable and taken care of during the whole process. The center itself feels like a relaxing spa! My nurse Sarah went above and beyond to make sure I understood what to expect, along with post op directions. Thank you so much for everything!
Aug 29, 2025
Overall, I had an excellent experience here! Several staff members provided especially attentive care: Ashlyn, Jacey, Sharon C, and Jay. They were all dedicated and made me feel exceptionally well cared for. If you have the chance to receive their help during your stay, you are very fortunate!
Aug 29, 2025
I had my egg retrieval today, and Ashley was the kindest, most wonderful nurse. She guided me through the entire process and made me feel comfortable.
Aug 17, 2025
Ashley Martinez, Jenn, and Leanne from anesthesia. Every staff member at the surgery center made me feel welcome and comfortable. They truly are the best, and I am so glad I chose them to help me through the procedure!
Dec 1, 2025
Reproductive Partners supported and cared for us throughout fertility treatment. Every visit brought attentive care and warmth. I sincerely thank my care team for remaining gentle and considerate during the hardest moments and making me feel safe. My surgical nurse Ashley cared for and supported me physically and emotionally before and after egg retrieval, putting me at ease. She was truly a gift. The entire surgical team was outstanding, checking on me regularly and showing genuine warmth. This is a special place whose staff truly care about every patient.
Sep 4, 2025
My egg retrieval experience was wonderful! From Dr. Su to nurse Sarah and all the excellent women and men who helped me, I would recommend RPSD to anyone seeking fertility assistance. This was my third retrieval, after two at different practices. This experience was unmatched, and I would choose this clinic again without hesitation.
Sep 3, 2025
My wife and I have been undergoing IVF at RPSD, and everyone has been kind, professional, and attentive. Throughout the process, Dr. Wynott answered all our questions, explained everything in detail, and was consistently caring and friendly. Our care coordinators, Vivian and Sharon, helped with scheduling, guidance, prescriptions, and medication refills, all of which would have been very time-consuming without them. We completed our egg retrieval this morning, and everything went smoothly. We had plenty of time to ask questions and felt heard. Katherine received attentive care during the procedure performed by Dr. Stanhiser, which reassured me. Special thanks to Sarah for ensuring Katherine was cared for during retrieval and for being so kind and friendly all morning! We have spent a great deal of time in clinics and hospitals, and people like her truly make a difference in our lives!

Reproductive Partners changed our lives. We are deeply grateful to have worked with Dr. Garzo, who helped us have our lovely son, and to Dr. Su, who guided us through IVF and helped us have our beautiful daughter. Every appointment brought many emotions, especially the ups and downs of egg retrieval. The surgical center was first-rate. Every nurse and medical professional we met was professional and eager to support my husband and me. Britt was my coordinator, and honestly, I do not know how I would have managed without her. She truly became my friend! She kept everything under control, and I never felt stressed by missing information or uncertainty about what to do. Christine was my nurse on retrieval day, and she was the best. She was warm and calm on a stressful day. She guided me through every step and explained what to expect. After surgery, when I was crying and emotional, she sat with me and helped me realize how fortunate I was. The surgical team remained wonderful throughout—professional yet comforting—and I always felt prepared for each next step. When I came to Reproductive Partners for my embryo transfer, I felt welcomed into a wonderful family by warm, attentive staff. I still remember our first scan when we saw our daughter. Everyone at the clinic was genuinely happy for my husband and me, which felt very special. We are so grateful to be part of the Reproductive Partners family!

I recently completed an egg retrieval, and the service from the doctors and nursing team was impeccable. Special thanks to Dr. Sanjay Agarwal and Ashley on the nursing team; their support team is wonderful. My coordinator Carley has also supported me throughout this difficult journey. Although I still have many steps ahead, I wanted to share my experience so far.
Sep 18, 2025
Of 9 visits, this has happened 3 times. At each visit, it takes them 20–30 minutes to bring you back. If other appointments run late, yours is affected. A reminder: please respect your appointment time because delays affect others. This is helpful to know for someone like me who drives 1.5 to 2 hours each day for appointments and has a frequently changing work schedule. I recommend using PTO to reduce stress. The office staff, from reception to the nurses, are very friendly. Kaiser does not provide the floor number. If your first appointment is on a weekend, be sure to ask: 8th floor, suite 800. The building feels deserted. The office is very clean.

From start to finish, we had a wonderful IVF experience with Dr. Garzo and nurse Tiffany. I still remember speaking by phone with the lovely Elizabeth, who walked us through all the medical and financial details that were new to us while we explored different treatment options. Elizabeth was thorough and helpful. I am so glad we chose RPFC. Tiffany supported me throughout IVF and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel effortless. She is absolutely the best nurse I have ever met. All the nurses were friendly and easy to work with when I came in for blood draws and other tests; the staff here are truly wonderful. Dr. Garzo took excellent care of me, communicated clearly, and was fully informed about the latest research. Tiffany and Dr. Garzo are both very intelligent, so we felt very confident about our chances of IVF success. Everyone's body responds differently, so each day you rely on your doctor for the best medical advice. We trusted Dr. Garzo and were always impressed by his recommendations and calm, kind manner. I am delighted to say that our first IVF cycle was successful, and we now proudly have an eight-month-old baby boy!!! I absolutely recommend RPFC for any infertility treatment. Update: At age 41, we had our second son with Dr. Garzo, with a success rate above 20%; at 44, we had our third child, our daughter, with only a 4% chance!!!! Each time we obtained one healthy embryo, and I successfully carried that embryo. Dr. Garzo was very realistic about our chances but did everything medically possible to ensure the best outcome. We thank God and Dr. Garzo for working miracles through his hands, care, and expertise. Our children are now one, four, and seven, and all are very healthy. I still cannot believe we were given these miracles. Had things not progressed and we been devastated, I believe Dr. Garzo would also have given us security and comfort. The nurses have been consistently very, very kind throughout six years. I highly recommend this clinic!!!!!!!

I recently completed an egg retrieval at San Diego Fertility Center. Overall, I had an excellent experience with the clinic and its doctors. My care coordinator, Ryanne Brust, was responsive and helpful, always replying quickly whenever I had questions. Care coordinator Charlene also supported me by teaching me how to give injections and patiently answering all my medication questions. The women in the blood draw department were also wonderful: kind, gentle, friendly, and compassionate at every visit. Special thanks to my dear friend and nurse, Amanda Druppel, who was exceptional throughout. She originally recommended the clinic, answered all my questions, drove me to and from the clinic on procedure day, served as my nurse during the retrieval, stayed with me for 24 hours afterward, and even gave me my first injection and trigger shot. The surgical center staff made me feel comfortable and safe on retrieval day. The setting was clean, peaceful, and welcoming, and the nurses were kind and reassuring. My fertility doctor, Dr. Su, provided outstanding expertise and guidance throughout treatment. Dr. Lin, who performed my egg retrieval, was kind, attentive, and patient with my questions without making me feel rushed. Overall, this is an excellent fertility center with outstanding communication and professionalism. I would recommend San Diego Fertility Center to anyone undergoing egg freezing or fertility treatment.
Nov 23, 2025
I highly recommend RPSD! Dr. Su is very professional and exceptionally patient. He explains things clearly and genuinely understands patients' concerns. He speaks fluent Mandarin/Chinese, which is a major advantage. Special thanks to clinical coordinator Vivian Suh. Vivian is wonderful—patient, kind, and prompt and thorough in answering every question. She also speaks Chinese, making coordination seamless. The entire staff is excellent. This is a five-star clinic providing exceptional, personalized fertility treatment!
Nov 22, 2025
The entire clinic is amazing! Their warm, friendly atmosphere is evident from the moment you enter. Special thanks to Dr. Garzo, my nurse coordinator Vivian, and Breann, who helped me on egg retrieval day! I highly recommend this clinic!
Dec 20, 2025
I want to recognize Ms. Sharon Carlson for her excellent customer service. She made my daughter and me feel very welcome and comfortable. Ms. Sharon was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to connect me with key people who could guide my daughter's next treatment steps. She also gave me her personal phone number and offered to do everything possible to help us, including gathering more information and contacting others for additional guidance. It was a pleasure working, meeting, and speaking with her. Ms. Sharon Carlson is an outstanding representative of San Diego Fertility Center.

Dr. Stanhiser is wonderful! She cared for me throughout the process, and we ultimately welcomed our perfect daughter. I highly recommend this practice and its entire staff.
Dec 12, 2025
We are very grateful for the attentive care we received here, from the warm front desk staff and nurses to our coordinator Brittany and Dr. Stanhiser. IVF requires spending a great deal of time here, and everyone's warmth and dedication meant so much to us.

I hardly know where to begin. My wife and I began our reciprocal IVF journey at RPSD last August, and Karolina made the entire process remarkably easy from the start. With her guidance, something potentially overwhelming quickly became organized and manageable. During our many visits over the following months, we felt surrounded by a team that truly became like family. Keely, Ashlynn, Cece, Morgan, and many others welcomed us warmly with care and laughter, which mattered greatly during a long and difficult journey. Our coordinator Vivian is exceptionally thoughtful. She celebrated every milestone with us, and her encouragement meant so much. The retrieval nurses Christine, Caitlin, Madison, and many others were also outstanding. They cared for my wife attentively, especially when things did not go well, and we will always be grateful. The embryologists impressed us with their knowledge and insight and handled our case with great respect and care. Finally, and most importantly, Dr. Jamie Stanhiser is beyond exceptional. You will not find another doctor like her. She has a special ability to brighten even the darkest days, and her expertise, support, and compassion are unmatched. As strange as it sounds, graduating from RPSD was difficult because we will miss her deeply. I wish I could express how much she means to us. RPSD was more than a clinic to us; it was a place of care, laughter, and hope. We are profoundly grateful to everyone who accompanied us and know they will remain part of our journey.

I was truly impressed by this employee's hospitality. Her warmth made me feel at home, and I enjoyed spending time with her. She is excellent with people and an ideal employee for this facility. I hope the company hires more employees like her. Sharon Carlson, you are an outstanding employee.
Feb 5, 2026
My husband and I had an amazing experience at RPSD. Everyone, from the front desk and nurses to our coordinator Brittney and our doctor, was kind and helpful. They made an otherwise nerve-racking pregnancy much easier. Thank you! We cannot wait to bring our baby back after he is born 🤍
Feb 2, 2026
Everyone is super friendly!!!
Jan 22, 2026
I had a wonderful experience with Jay, RN. She was professional and understanding, guided me step by step, and answered all my questions. Thank you!
Jan 20, 2026
I transferred to RPSD because my previous fertility center made me feel that my opinions did not matter. At that center, I had one failed and one canceled egg retrieval. They suggested getting another opinion, and after doing some research, I chose Dr. Steinhauser at RPSD. From my first meeting with her and my coordinator Brittney, I felt heard, valued, and understood. They never made me feel uncomfortable for asking questions or advocating for myself. I am incredibly grateful to RPSD because I am now six months pregnant, and I know this center made our IVF success possible.
Jan 20, 2026
I am very grateful to Reproductive Partners, especially Dr. Su for her advice and guidance, and to my nurse Natalie for helping me throughout the process! I felt that my questions were answered and my concerns were heard. I always appreciated how Dr. Su explained the procedures, medications, and her thought process. She always treated me as an intelligent, capable person who could understand everything.
Feb 16, 2026
My husband and I had two excellent experiences at Reproductive Partners Fertility Center. The team is caring, responsive, and very kind. They communicate well and genuinely want their patients to succeed.
Feb 16, 2026
My wife and I underwent reciprocal IVF and had a wonderful experience with Dr. Steinhauser and the entire RPSD team. Every visit was full of laughter and comfort. Everyone on the team was warm and friendly, whether we had met them once or more than a dozen times. We were incredibly fortunate to have success with our first egg retrieval and transfer, all thanks to RPSD. We welcomed our daughter last October and are deeply grateful for this gift!
Feb 13, 2026
My nurse this morning was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive, kind, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. She made me feel comfortable, supported, and well‑taken care of during a moment that can feel vulnerable. I truly appreciated her calm presence and the way she checked in on me with such sincerity. Thank you for providing such compassionate care. Thank You, Breann and surgery team! ❤️
Feb 12, 2026
As soon as my husband and I met Dr. Agarwal at RPSD, we knew we had found the right clinic for our IVF journey. From beginning to end, every doctor, nurse, lab technician, and staff member was kind and considerate. We appreciated the honesty required throughout IVF and felt fully prepared to begin the journey and accept any possible outcome. The clinic has an excellent team of physicians who stay current with the latest evidence-based medicine, which is essential in IVF. We also greatly appreciated the embryologists. Carly S was our nurse coordinator and cared for us throughout with tremendous compassion. She always responded quickly to all my questions and concerns and was organized and thorough. We especially want to thank Dr. Agarwal and nurse Carly S. We know our miracle baby is here because of you! We look forward to a second attempt with you!
Feb 11, 2026
I highly recommend Reproductive Partners! I am a nurse at RPSD and chose to receive treatment there because I truly believe Reproductive Partners provides the best and most personalized care in San Diego. The clinic is clean and welcoming. Dr. Su is approachable, professional, and highly knowledgeable. She explains everything thoroughly and bases her practice on the latest data. I cannot praise her enough! Although I chose Dr. Su as my physician, I strongly recommend any doctor at RPSD. They are kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable with patients, and friendly and respectful toward all staff. My coordinator, Carly S, was outstanding. She kept me informed and guided me through the process as smoothly as possible. The care I received during my egg retrieval was also flawless. Everyone at the surgery center made me feel welcome, comfortable, and exceptionally well cared for. Carly J, Ashley M, Christine, Sarah P, and Brittnie H supported me throughout, which was essential to my experience. They patiently guided me, answered my questions, addressed my concerns, and encouraged me when I was anxious about the possible outcome. Leann was my anesthetist. Although I see anesthesia every day at work, she made sure I understood the process from a patient's perspective. She was attentive, calm, and warm, and I am very grateful for how gently she woke me from anesthesia. Special thanks also to my surgical technician, Jay, who helped me relax and made everything run smoothly. Last but not least, I want to thank my nurse, Ashley M, for taking exceptional care of me on retrieval day and throughout the process. Ashley is not only one of the best nurses I have met, but also an excellent colleague. She made me feel completely safe at one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. Her calm manner, positive attitude, and humor put me at ease and allowed me to let go of my fear. I am truly grateful to her and the entire RPSD team for their wonderful care. Being a patient and employee at RPSD feels like joining a family!

My husband and I were devastated when I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. A friend later recommended RPSD. Even walking into the clinic made us feel comfortable. At every appointment, Dr. Duleba reassured us, set realistic expectations, and helped us discuss the next steps when we struggled or felt discouraged. Everyone at the clinic was kind and welcoming. Thanks to their help, we are expecting a baby boy in May 2026!

A team that truly cared for me—and now I have twins to show for it! Words cannot express my gratitude to Reproductive Partners. Pregnancy is one of life's most emotional experiences, and from the beginning the entire team made me feel supported, heard, and cared for at every step. Their genuine compassion stood out most. They never made me feel like just another patient. They encouraged me when I was afraid and gave me strength when I needed reassurance most. Their warmth was invaluable throughout a journey filled with uncertainty and challenges. I am profoundly grateful to share that I now have beautiful four-month-old twins, and much of this joy is due to this remarkable team's support and dedication. If you are considering fertility treatment and want a clinic that truly stands by you, Reproductive Partners is an excellent choice. My heartfelt thanks to Reproductive Partners! 💛

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this fertility clinic. From the moment you walk in, you feel seen, cared for, and genuinely supported — you never feel like just a number here. Everything is incredibly organized, and the level of service is exceptional. They remember the little details about you, and you can feel that they truly have your best interests at heart. There are a few standout people who have made this journey especially meaningful for us. First and foremost, Dr. Lin. She is so caring, and I completely trust my health and future in her hands. She feels like a warm hug — steady, reassuring, and deeply compassionate. Brittney Gregg, our care coordinator, has been amazing. She is responsive, authentic, and has stood by our side through our million questions and even more emotions. We always know we can count on her. Our incredible nurses: Amelia — truly a gem of a human. We adore her. Jiaqi — pro-level blood draw skills and always remembers me. Morgan — kind, attentive, and wonderful in every interaction. Cece — always smiling and so sweet. The front desk superstars: Ashlyn — the clinic’s front door couldn’t be in better hands. She sets the tone with such warmth. Cece — a checkout and billing superstar who always goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need. Sharon — I can’t imagine a more perfect person to greet you at the surgery center. And the surgery center staff: Tawny — immediately eased my nerves and made me feel safe. Leann, the anesthesiologist — warm, detail-oriented, and clear about what to expect. No surprises, just reassurance. And last, but not least, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the SNACK RACK. The Cheez-Its, the Nutri-Grain bars, the popcorn. On my worst days, that snack rack is always there — and honestly, sometimes that little bit of comfort makes all the difference. I’m sure there are many more amazing people I’m forgetting, but truly, we love this clinic. We had a consultation at another clinic before finding this one, and the difference was night and day. My wife and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our care, and we’re so grateful to be on this journey with this team.

I had my egg retrieval at the gynecologic surgery center this morning. My nurses were Amanda and Sharon. Both were very kind and patiently explained the procedure and aftercare instructions. Even the anesthesiologist was warm and friendly. Thank you, Amanda and Sharon, for your gentleness, thoughtfulness, and care. My entire IVF treatment has gone very smoothly. Sheri is my nurse coordinator and has always been professional and friendly. This clinic deserves more than five stars. They treat people with kindness and compassion, and you never feel like a number. I highly recommend this clinic!!!

My wife and I underwent egg retrievals at the same time and visited the clinic almost daily, giving us a close view of how efficiently Reproductive Partners operates over the past several weeks. The team is exceptional and impressive. From the moment you enter, the staff are warm and welcoming, especially Cece Flores, who is undoubtedly the hardest-working person there. I noticed that patients see a physician within five minutes of their appointment time, which is uncommon at most clinics. I have heard people compare this clinic to a spa, and I completely agree. We felt relaxed and comfortable at every daily visit. I cannot imagine a better atmosphere for reproductive care, or any clinic. Having the same medical technician, Taylor, care for us provided personalized attention. She made time to connect with us and understand our entire journey, making us feel valued and confident that we were receiving the best care. Taylor's blood-draw skills are remarkable—you can barely feel the needle—and after appointments, she spent a few minutes with us to help us process our thoughts, giving us reassurance and confidence in our final decisions. The care coordinators kept everything running smoothly, with Brittany skillfully overseeing the entire operation. They coordinated communication among patients, physicians, and nurses clearly and efficiently, preventing information gaps. Our coordinator, Charlene, was outstanding and responded promptly even when her out-of-office message was active. She showed genuine concern for our entire journey and even contacted us after surgery. Dr. Stanhiser is truly a superwoman. We are very grateful for her support, kindness, and clear explanations. She patiently answers questions and speaks with you in a way that makes you feel like her only patient. Dr. Lin was the surgeon on duty for our procedures. Initially, I worried that Dr. Stanhiser could not participate in part of our care, but meeting Dr. Lin put me at ease. Her extensive experience is unmatched, and her surgical skill allowed both my wife and me to feel well the day after our procedures. The La Jolla Women's Surgery team was very welcoming, and the entire team was ready when we arrived. Each team member met with us individually before surgery, making us feel that everyone understood our progress. Madison is a nurse practitioner who cared for us as a nurse on the day of surgery because she genuinely loves her work, which was evident in her skill and manner. Caitlin and Katie supported us throughout, and anesthesiologist Leanne made the experience easy, painless, and reassuring. Finally, I have never had such a clear medical billing experience. Costs were explained from the beginning, and final charges were at or below the estimates. I never felt anyone was trying to overcharge us. Everyone seemed genuinely invested in our success rather than money. As someone who saved for more than a year, I found it entirely worthwhile, with no surprise charges. I believe our excellent experience so far represents only a small part of this exceptional team's work and directly reflects how well each person performs their role. Thank you to Dr. Garzo for selecting such an outstanding team to create this special place. My wife and I are deeply grateful and cannot wait to continue our fertility journey with Reproductive Partners and recommend you to everyone. Sincerely, Chanel and Jay

Anthony Duleba's clinic is truly outstanding. The entire team demonstrates exceptional compassion and professionalism and genuinely cares for every person who comes for a consultation. They make every effort to ensure you feel seen and heard throughout the process and that they truly understand your situation. Their concern for your well-being and attention at every step are remarkable.

I cannot praise the San Diego Fertility Center team highly enough. As a surrogate for a close friend, I knew the process could sometimes feel overwhelming, emotional, and medically intimidating, but their team made me feel supported, encouraged, and even joyful. From the beginning, their guidance and communication were clear and organized. Every step was thoroughly explained, and they always answered my questions with patience, kindness, honesty, and professionalism. Sometimes I needed extra reassurance or support, but they never made me feel burdensome or rushed. What impressed me most was their dedication and care. They worked weekends and called on holidays when important information arose, and throughout the process they made both me and the intended parents feel genuinely cared for. Our first embryo transfer was very successful, and we are now nearing the end of the first trimester. I truly believe their expertise, communication, and compassion were crucial to this wonderful experience. Special thanks to Vivian Suh and Dr. Duleba’s team—you transformed what could have been a stressful medical process into a beautiful, exciting, and hopeful experience. We are deeply grateful.

We will always be grateful to RPSD for helping us welcome our three wonderful children. From the beginning, everyone we met was compassionate, professional, and genuinely caring. Special thanks to my nurse Charlene, who was exceptional throughout. She was kind, patient, and responsive and made me feel well cared for at every stage of treatment. Dr. Dubela was my primary physician, and I cannot imagine a better care provider. He is experienced and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was always honest with me, even when the truth was difficult to hear. Over the years, I also saw several other doctors at the clinic, and all were excellent. I also thank the front desk staff, coordinators, and embryologists working behind the scenes. Everyone was welcoming and respectful, and their genuine concern for patients and outcomes was clear. Thanks to RPSD, our family is complete, and we will always appreciate the role they played in our lives.

Reproductive Partners is absolutely incredible. They are so kind and supportive, extremely knowledgeable. My wife had Dr. Harrison, and she is the kindest and most gentle MD I have ever met. Also, my wife had Amelia to get her prepared for the procedure, be with her during the procedure, and was with her at the end as well. Amelia was so kind, had an absolutely wonderful bedside Manner, and was exceptionally knowledgeable about all facets of my wife’s procedure. Amelia will make an extraordinary doctor one day, and she is, and will be an asset to her profession. I cannot say enough good things about all of the wonderful people here! Sincerely, Elijah Toohill

I want to specifically recognize the excellent nurses and embryology team. Aside from them, my experience here was deeply disappointing, with numerous problems involving clinicians at every stage. My primary doctor took several weeks off without sharing test results or arranging coverage. They did not create a treatment plan based on my goals, instead treating me like a routine patient or ignoring and dismissing my concerns while still charging the full consultation fee. They also scheduled more than one ineffective treatment cycle or procedure to collect payment. Staff were rude, every appointment ran very late, and visits felt rushed. Overall, they seemed to lack professional experience and often had little confidence or logic when planning next steps. I was even misdiagnosed. The financial team was also rude. I ultimately changed clinics, and the new clinic was a refreshing and far better experience. I recommend avoiding this clinic. If you do go, insist on receiving the answers and treatment you deserve and remain persistent.

I had an excellent experience. I love them. All the staff and nurses took exceptional care of me, and I could feel their kindness and concern.

We could never have imagined receiving such attentive care here. My husband and I agree that our nurse, Carly, is one of the best nurses we have ever met, if not the very best. She was not only highly professional but also kind, providing exceptional care on a day when we could easily have felt extremely anxious. Every member of the RPSD staff was friendly and considerate, going far beyond our expectations to help us. I highly recommend them to anyone undergoing fertility treatment—a perfect score of 10!

I had an excellent experience preserving my fertility at Reproductive Partners. I was especially pleased by the efficiency and professionalism of Breann and the entire surgical center team on the day of my egg retrieval. I felt comfortable throughout the process and woke up without pain to the wonderful news that they had retrieved more than 20 eggs! I will definitely recommend Reproductive Partners to my family and friends.

The surgical center staff did an outstanding job during our egg retrieval. Sharon at the front desk was very kind. Maureen, the anesthesiologist, was attentive, considerate, highly skilled, and meticulous. Last but certainly not least, our nurse, Christine, provided exceptional care that far exceeded expectations. From start to finish, we felt very well cared for, all thanks to her. She not only demonstrated professionalism and compassion, but was also an excellent guide and an outstanding patient advocate. We cannot thank her enough.

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Garza and the entire fertility clinic team for helping us build our family. We welcomed our first baby after our first intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment, and we could not be happier. Throughout the process, Dr. Garza was supportive, informative, and caring. The fertility journey can be emotional and stressful, but his kindness, professionalism, and expertise gave us hope and confidence at every step. Thank you for helping us achieve our dream of becoming parents. We will always be grateful for the care and compassion you showed us. We highly recommend Dr. Garza to anyone on a fertility journey!

Reproductive Partners San Diego restored my confidence that one day I would become a mother and have a family of my own. For a long time, that felt beyond my reach. I cannot say enough good things about this fertility clinic; they are truly first-rate. My registered nurse, Natalie Morrison, made me feel comfortable and reassured because I knew I could ask her any questions or raise any concerns at any time. Even when she was away, I received very prompt responses. The entire staff at Reproductive Partners San Diego is professional, attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. I live in the Coachella Valley, but I still feel that choosing Reproductive Partners San Diego for IVF embryo preservation was the best decision. I am very glad I made that choice and highly recommend this fertility clinic to anyone preparing for IVF or fertility preservation.
