Sujatha Gunnala 박사, 미국

First, I want to thank God and all the clinic staff, beginning with Dr. Gunnala. From our first appointment, they were thoughtful, gave us confidence, and made us feel like family. Despite a negative experience at another clinic, they gave us confidence and hope here and encouraged us to try even though the success rate was not high. They gave us the confidence to proceed because test results do not determine everything. Thanks to God and their professionalism, we became pregnant on our first attempt. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to realize our dream of becoming parents. 😋

I called to ask about their services. I was disappointed that they did not offer testing or treatment for hhv-6a and did not know what it was. I am genuinely concerned that many women may undergo incomplete testing before in vitro fertilization (IVF) because providers do not understand this hhv variant or its ability to create an environment in which embryos can survive, leaving them without results. One study found the virus in 43% of infertile women and 0% of women of reproductive age. I think this is extremely serious! Treatment is only a simple one-month course of antiviral medication rather than the thousands of dollars required for Ivf. Do they truly not know, or do they prefer the expensive route regardless of the outcome? I would personally be cautious about fertility clinics that do not understand recurrent miscarriage or recurrent implantation failure. You may spend thousands of dollars and invest your hopes without treating the actual cause. In my case, I had 5 children without any problems. They almost came too easily. I developed sepsis in 2018, and my infertility was not diagnosed until we wanted another child. My Ivf clinic was in Mexico. I underwent a limited cycle, but they retrieved 23 eggs and missed some. Only a few were unusable. Several transfers implanted but all ended in m/c between 4+5 and 6+2, with no fetal pole seen. I decided to donate the remaining eggs because I became pregnant easily; something deeper was causing the miscarriages. 4 years later, in March of this year, I developed a rash and was diagnosed with pityriasis rosea, which is associated with hhv 6&7. That began my deep research. Hhv6 has different variants, and Hhv-6a differs from hhv-6b. Hhv-6a is strongly associated with infertility and recurrent miscarriage. It may be common and can suddenly become active because of long covid or other illnesses. If this is my issue, I truly believe the sepsis triggered it. My clinic in Mexico acknowledged that sepsis can cause infertility. I only wanted to seek treatment locally before traveling abroad. I am sharing this so women understand, before choosing these clinics, that they may be unaware of the different causes of infertility and recurrent miscarriage.

First, I want to share that our journey with SFC ultimately resulted in a healthy pregnancy (my wife is now 20 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl)!! However, my review is more about the moments before that success. My wife and I went through IUI and later IVF, experiencing joy, sadness, confusion, and anticipation along the way. The entire team was with us through it all: comforting us when we were afraid, explaining things again and again when we were confused, and laughing with us when we needed some levity. Most importantly, they shared our hope and dream of becoming parents. Through every attempt, every new medication, every unsuccessful result, and every ultrasound, they believed we would eventually succeed. For those with a big dream of becoming parents, Southwest Fertility Center is the best choice. For those who have endured hardship and may feel there is little hope, Southwest Fertility Center is also the best choice. Wherever you are in your journey, every team member will meet you there—protecting your hope, building it up, and reminding you that hope remains. You will receive the best care! This is a special place with some of the most special people. Carla, Yvonne, Daisy, Shelley, Tara, Dr. G...you are invited to Thanksgiving (:

I cannot say enough good things about Southwest Fertility Center. From our first meeting to our last, everyone was incredibly kind. Both Drs. Gunnala, Dr. Tera, and the entire staff made us feel like family. Their care and expertise are among the best in the country. We succeeded on our first attempt, and he is perfect. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. You made our family complete!

Southwest Fertility Center is a godsend for couples whose dreams come true!! Words cannot express how impressed we were by the excellent staff we met along the way. Dr. Gunnala is wonderful, all the APPs are first-rate, and every staff member involved is among the best in the field. My wife and I needed two cycles to achieve our goal, with a due date of December 18, 2025. Although the first unsuccessful cycle was disappointing, the clinic helped us work through that disappointment while giving us the hope we needed. Our ‘graduation’ day will remain a treasured memory that we celebrate for years. In short… Their expertise, compassionate kindness, and attentive support are why we are becoming parents this year. To anyone struggling to build a family: stay hopeful and remember, it only takes one!!!! Southwest Fertility Center, we owe everything to you!!

As a single Black woman, I chose Southwest Fertility Center (SWFC) as my preferred fertility clinic based on the reviews, especially one particular review. SWFC is clean, peaceful, and welcoming. The staff are kind, friendly, and helpful. I never had an unpleasant experience with them. IVF is emotionally, financially, mentally, and physically exhausting. It is also time-consuming and requires long waits for results. Be sure to research IVF yourself, not only for education but also for self-awareness. IVF is a science. Be patient, be kind to yourself, and give your body one more chance. If you begin falling into darkness, remind yourself that, like any other woman, you deserve the title of mother.

I only scheduled a video appointment, and that was it. No one called back to provide fertility assistance. Unfortunately, I wasted my time here. I will keep looking elsewhere in Arizona or another state.

Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Vinay Gunnala and the entire clinic team. From the moment I entered, I felt deeply supported, heard, and cared for. What distinguishes Dr. Gunnala is not only his expertise but his empathy, attention to detail, and commitment to helping patients build their families. At my first visit, Dr. Gunnala patiently listened to my full story, asked thoughtful questions, and ensured no detail was missed. Through careful evaluation and comprehensive testing, he identified a problem with one of my fallopian tubes that was seriously affecting my ability to conceive—something others had never found. With his expertise and prompt action, he performed surgery to remove the affected tube. The procedure went very smoothly, with minimal downtime, an easy recovery, and excellent postoperative comfort, which pleasantly surprised me. Soon after recovering, I had IUI and, to my delight, became pregnant on the first attempt. I still become emotional thinking about how far I have come and the crucial role Dr. Gunnala and his team played. Everyone I met, from the front desk to the nurses and support team, was warm, patient, and genuinely caring. It never felt cold or clinical, but personal and compassionate. If you are struggling with fertility or just beginning your journey and seeking answers, I highly recommend Dr. Vinay Gunnala and this clinic. They gave me hope when I felt lost, and now they have helped give me life's most precious gift.

I have only come here for outside monitoring and have had a very good experience. Every ultrasound technician I met was kind. My favorite was Tara. She was very personable and made the experience easier, especially since appointments can sometimes feel uncomfortable. I was fortunate that she handled most of mine.

I have been pregnant three times, each time with the help of SW Fertility. I could never have done it without them and will always be grateful! My two sons and daughter are all very healthy, and I cannot thank their team enough. In 2019, after six years of trying to conceive while living with PCOS, we finally welcomed our son. Unfortunately, we struggled to conceive again after his birth, so we returned to SW Fertility and had our daughter. We were unsure whether to have another child, but ultimately decided to try. Our younger son was born two weeks ago. If you are struggling with fertility and reading this, please call for an appointment! Dr. Gunnala and Dr. Vinay are the best, and so is their entire team, which has remained the same for years. From Fran at the front desk to Yvonne in the back and the wonderful nurses Tara, Shelley, Lana, and Agatha, everyone treats you like family. Before coming here in 2018, I had seen five doctors and tried countless fertility treatments without success. What makes SW Fertility different is that they combine ovulation-stimulation medication with other medications to improve the chance of conception. Their goal is to help you realize your dream of building a family! I will always be grateful for everything they did to help me become pregnant.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Gunnala and this clinic. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for more than a year when we came here. Dr. Gunnala always explained every step patiently and thoroughly and gave us hope and encouragement that we would one day have the family of our dreams. Everyone, including all the nurse practitioners, especially Shelley, the medical assistants, especially Yvonne, and even the front desk staff, especially Carla, was warm and friendly. Special thanks to nurse Maria, who kindly shared her own fertility experience with us. Your beautiful family and story gave us tremendous hope that we could one day have a family of our own. Thank you to Southwest Fertility Center for supporting us throughout our journey. Because of you, I am now 34 weeks pregnant. I cannot wait to meet our baby and introduce him to everyone who helped make our dream come true.

The entire Southwest Fertility Center team is wonderful! From the front desk and nursing team to the doctors, everyone is kind, considerate, caring, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. Dr. Vinay Gunnala genuinely cares for every patient. Every visit felt personal and valued, and we never felt rushed or left with unanswered questions. Meetings with Dr. Gunnala felt like meaningful conversations with a friend, which brought great comfort during a sensitive and emotional time. Whatever your goals or specific concerns, Dr. Gunnala and his team will help you with dedication and professionalism. If you need help and do not know where to turn, Southwest Fertility Center is the right choice!

Both of our children were made possible with the help of Southwest Fertility Center. Our journey to build a family was long and difficult—nearly six years—but through every high and low, the Southwest Fertility Center team stayed by our side and provided exceptional care and support. Led by Dr. Vinay Gunnala and Dr. Sujata Gunnala, the entire team was outstanding and compassionate. They never treated us as ordinary patients, but cared for us like family. Dr. Vinay is one of the best doctors we have worked with—always patient, never rushed, and very thoughtful in answering our questions and concerns. Most impressive was Dr. Vinay’s individualized treatment plan. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, he closely monitored how my body responded during each cycle and adjusted treatment accordingly. Even when cycles failed, Dr. Vinay and his team gave us tremendous understanding and support and encouraged us not to give up our dream of building a family. Today, the Southwest Fertility Center team feels like family. We will always be grateful and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vinay and his team to anyone seeking fertility treatment.

Dr. Gunnala, Shelly, and everyone here are wonderful. From the start of our family’s fertility journey in 2022 through my second pregnancy in 2026, they have provided warm and friendly help. From the beginning, they were kind, encouraging, and patient. They educated my husband and me so we could make informed decisions and supported us through setbacks, which occur often during infertility treatment. Dr. Gunnala was always positive and optimistic, even when we felt discouraged, helping us remain calm and hopeful. He also helped us set realistic expectations so we could prepare for what came next. We are deeply grateful for all their help and guidance on our path to building a family. If you are unsure which clinic to choose, look no further. Dr. Gunnala and his team will guide you through this difficult time with all the care you could hope for and need. Dr. Gunnala, thank you for creating such a beautiful family for me! We love you!

We are incredibly grateful to the excellent team at Southwest Fertility Center. With their care and guidance, we overcame the challenges of ectopic pregnancy and endometriosis and ultimately welcomed a healthy, happy baby. We are hopeful for the future and plan to return to Southwest Fertility Center to grow our family. Thank you, Dr. Vinay Gunnala and team!

I had a wonderful experience at Southwest Fertility Center and highly recommend them. They supported me through two egg retrievals and two embryo transfers—one unsuccessful and one successful—and I am now six months pregnant as a result of the second transfer. What impressed me most was the tremendous support the entire team provided at every stage. They showed great compassion and support when my first transfer failed, and were just as genuinely happy for me when I succeeded. My primary doctor was Dr. Vinay Gunnala, who was truly outstanding. He is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He always listened to all my questions and concerns, no matter how small, and explained everything clearly and understandably. His calm, reassuring presence made an otherwise highly stressful process much easier. He is exceptionally skilled and always offered thoughtful, practical advice. Nurses Shirley and Tara were also wonderful. I saw them often, and they always comforted me, answered my questions, and provided tremendous support. They made a complicated process much easier. Nurse Maria accompanied me throughout all my testing and was the person who called with both good and difficult news. She is warm and compassionate, always greeting me with a smile and making me feel at ease, even during the hardest moments. From the front desk to the medical assistants, embryologists, anesthesiologists, nurses, and doctors, the entire team cared for me like family. I felt genuinely cared for at every step. IVF is physically and emotionally exhausting, but I am deeply grateful to have had such an excellent team supporting me throughout. I cannot say enough good things about Southwest Fertility Center. If I need another embryo transfer in the future, I will definitely choose them again as we continue building our family.

Southwest Fertility Center made all our dreams come true! After trying for three years, we began our fertility journey in 2024-11. My husband and I initially agreed to undergo three intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. We were financially prepared. After the first two cycles failed, Dr. Gunnala sat down with us and discussed his recommendations and the treatment plan in detail. He was wonderful and knew how deeply we wanted a child, so he did not want us to give up after three cycles. We therefore decided to try a total of five cycles. Thanks to God and science, we conceived after our fourth IUI cycle in 2025-8 and welcomed our miracle baby. We now have a healthy, lively six-week-old boy! To think that without this team's dedication and hard work, we might never have attempted that fourth cycle. We cannot thank the team at Southwest Fertility Center enough for their support, care, laughter, and tears, but most of all, for giving us our baby! Once you have worked with this team, you are family forever! We love visiting them because they deserve to watch this miraculous little boy grow just as much as we do.

Southwest Fertility Center is truly amazing! Dr. Vinay Gunnala is kind, highly skilled, knowledgeable, and very patient. He takes the time to get to know you and discuss your goals and questions without making you feel rushed. The entire team is professional and friendly. Every healthcare professional I met there patiently answered my questions and provided high-quality care. No matter where you are in your fertility journey, I highly recommend Southwest Fertility Center!
