I am beyond grateful to have worked with the Fertility Institute of San Diego. Dr. H and her entire team are some of the most compassionate and hands-on professionals I’ve ever encountered. From start to finish, I felt genuinely cared for, well-informed, and supported every step of the way. There was never a moment of confusion, and the level of education provided throughout the process was exceptional. I even made some friends along this journey. I couldn’t recommend a better practice, doctor, or staff. 🩵
Dr. H and her team are amazing! We recently did our embryo transfer and just got the news that WE ARE PREGNANT. So excited!Here are the pros that stood out to me throughout this process:1. Quick appointments. During IVF you must go in A LOT which can be hard for some, but they were quick and efficient every single time and never kept you waiting. This was key for me.2. Dr. H and her team are very knowledgeable. Every time I had a question, they had an answer and explained the reason why. This was very reassuring for me and my partner.3. All very nice and sweet staff. Everyone I came in contact with was an absolute pleasure. Even when talking about sensitive topics, Dr. H and the whole team seemed comforting and compassionate. On two occasions, I had to contact Dr. H at night and on the weekend with questions about my medications. She was so nice and even took the time to ask how I was doing rather than rushing me off the phone. It really was next level customer service.4. Quick Response times, I had quite a few questions during the past year and each and every time I sent an email, it was responded to immediately.To be honest, not really any cons.100% highly recommend you to trust Dr. H to help you through your journey of building your family. We are very grateful for them,
Oh where to begin…what a fantastic journey it’s been!First of we all we want to start out by giving a huge shoutout to not just Dr. Hosseinzadeh but also her absolutely amazing crew of angels namely Martha, Carley and Marina! They are all beyond incredible human beings and we cannot thank them enough! We highly and we mean HIGHLY recommend this clinic!Anyways we started our journey to pregnancy with a lot of uncertainty and not a lot of hope because of previous attempts. That all changed the moment we walked into the Fertility Institute of San Diego and met with Dr. H and her team.We were immediately given a glimpse of what could be with the immensely compassionate, professional, inspiring and uplifting attitude of this team of angels. Soon after we started our first attempt at IVF and although my partner Tabitha is 38 years young, we got 6 eggs and 4 got fertilized. We new our chances were slim but not long after we had our first chance with a healthy little girl embryo! We did a second round bc we want at least 2 children if possible and this time we got a boy! The whole process was so easy and seamless because of the care, patience and professionalism of Dr. H and her team. We then took that big jump and implanted the boy, it was intense to say the least. The wait was unbearable but to our total surprise and utter amazement we were finally pregnant!!!The team took extreme care of us during the first few weeks, even as far as Dr. H answering a phone call at 3 am in the morning just to reassure us everything would be alright. That phone call is the epitome of this clinic. They are there for you in every sense of the word. Day or night this team is on it, with so much love and patience!We are now 16 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy and can’t wait to go back for the girl!!We cannot recommend this clinic enough to anyone out there. SERIOUSLY!If you are reading this we understand the hesitancy of deciding what to do or where to go but if IVF is your path then this is the place to go! Trust us! This is our new family and we cannot be more grateful!Thank you thank you thank you Dr. Hosseinzahdeh and your team! You girls are miracle makers!
I highly recommend Dr. H and her clinic for fertility care! She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and caring. I very much appreciate that she is positive and proactive, and takes the time to genuinely listen to and respond to questions and her concerns. Her team is kind and professional every step of the way, and created a very warm environment to seek medical area. Dr. H and her clinic were also vastly different than my experience at other prior clinics with purportedly good reputations (a well known clinic in Atlanta and university-based clinic in San Diego). In sharp contrast to my experience with the Fertility Institute, these clinics were negative, cold, rushed, and less informed. With that past experience, I am especially appreciative of the wonderful care and treatment I received by the Fertility Institute!
I have had an amazing experience with Dr. H & her team since the beginning. I heard back from them so quickly after my initial inquiry and was immediately able to speak with Dr. H to get a better understanding of this process. From there things started moving quickly. They always answer my questions and stay so calm through the ups and downs. It has really made me feel so comfortable and confident through the entire process.AND the best part is....... I am pregnant! :) Trust them, they are incredible.
Dr. H and her staff are simply amazing. They are very caring, responsive, supportive and make everything so easy. I will be doing a second retrieval with them soon knowing we are in good hands to increase our chances to have more healthy embryos. They make everything easy to deal with from counseling to planning financially and setting up appointments. Their care is wonderful. 5 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking fertility treatment.
Dr. H and team were great to work with! We had worked briefly with another clinic and were turned off by the cold feeling we got each time we visited. On top of that, the doctors there didnt seem to believe in our chances and werent very supportive. We had the complete opposite experience with Dr. H and the team at Fertility Institute. The place feels warm, almost like youre in your own living room, and the staff always stays very positive. We always felt supported and cared for here.
Dr. Hosseinzadeh and the team at FISD are phenomenal! They consistently guided and supported us, patiently answered all our questions, and ultimately helped us achieve six healthy embryos in our third attempt, successfully transferring one already. Dr. H closely monitors each stage using cutting-edge technology and communicates every detail clearly with patients. She thoroughly explained the advantages of IVF over other fertility methods and is always available to address our concerns, even on weekends. Her warm and welcoming demeanor, along with her ability to remember the smallest details about her patients, always helped ease our stress. We are immensely thankful for their continued support, even after two unsuccessful IVF cycles. Words cannot fully express our gratitude for Dr. H and her staff. I highly recommend this clinic.
Being a single mother by choice going through IVF, my journey at FISD, under the care of Dr. H and her exceptional staff, has been nothing short of amazing. Every step, from scheduling appointments to managing medication and check-ups, has been marked by positivity and a reassuring calmness. What sets this clinic apart is their unwavering dedication to patient care – whenever Ive had additional questions or needed clarification post-appointment, the team has been incredibly accommodating, promptly responding with the information I need. Dr. Hs expertise, combined with her reassuring demeanor, instills confidence and comfort throughout the entire process. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend FISD to anyone embarking on their fertility journey.
Dr. H. Is Amazing!!!I’m happy to have Dr. Hosseinzadeh, Martha, and her staff for my very first surrogacy journey. They have been available and supportive the entire journey. They made me feel welcomed and appreciated. Martha educated my oldest daughter and I in person on how to inject and how to take medications. They’ve all been very empathetic and considerate. The nurse that wheeled me out after transfer was very kindhearted. I appreciate the nurse who sat with me before transfer. Everyone came in to check on me as well as tend to another patients’ immediate need. I was fully prepared for medical screening and transfer. I’m overjoyed for my Intended Parents that my first transfer was successful and I am currently 5 weeks along. I’m grateful for the entire experience. 10/10! Thank you all so very much for all you’ve done! It has truly been a blessing! God bless you all for your service!
I started my journey with Dr. H. last year about this time. Now we are prepping for the first transfer. It took us three egg retrieval cycles to freeze 6 PGT tested embryos. Dr. H has always been very nice and kind and very patient with all of our questions. After our poor egg quality and two non-euploid embryos, she sat with us and suggested a few things to change in lifestyle and supplements. Those were the game changers. The first cycle failed due to lack of sperm, my partner was super stressed and could not produce sperm the first time. So technically speaking we had two cycles.The stuff in FISD are always very nice and calm, I love how Keila adds a big smile everytime we ask her about something. She is also very prompt in placing orders and staff. Karly was always nice and patient in explaining the cost etc. IVF is an expensive process both monetarily and physically. FISD has been very supportive at all the time. I always get encouraging words from Dr. H after every ultrasound. She would explain everything with scientific explanations. It is being a great experience with them. I recommended my friends this clinic already. I highly recommend this to all my review readers.
We were very happy with our experience with Dr.H she is very knowledgeable and explains everything step by step throughout the process and the staff are also amazing. We are so glad we found Dr.H she was able to help us through ivf and have successfully embryo transfer.
Dr. H and the team are great! As a health professional myself I was particular about who I chose to work with. I felt cared for as an individual by Dr. H. After my first round of egg freezing with a poor outcome, she shared her thoughts with my best interest at heart and helped me plan to do it a second time after some adjustments and financial help...and it was more successful than I predicted. I have peace of mind about future family building, and though I hope I do not need to use these frozen eggs I am grateful I have a doctor I trust in the process. Also after I had found Dr. H, another doctor friend of mine also recommended her to me. So she comes highly recommended! Best of luck to any and all navigating fertility and family building.
FISD is truly amazing! I was lucky enough to be a donor for their clinic, and throughout my entire donor process they treated me with such care and respect. Dr. H is very hands on with her patients and truly cares about them. The nursing staff and anesthesiologist on the day of my retrieval surgery were exceptional, so comforting, knowledgeable, and just above and beyond. I am so grateful for the team there for giving me an amazing donor experience, truly something I will never forget!
My daughter was treated amazingly well by the staff at the IVF & Fertility Treatment Center/Fertility Institute of San Diego this morning. She had a wonderful experience. I would like to give a big shout out to Marina Johnson for her caring ways on how she treated my daughter, Carolynne. Marina is kind hearted, sincere and very professional. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much Dr H, Milly, Martha and team for helping us through this journey.i wouldnt have gotten through this without you guys. you guys are Brilliant,Caring, and you the way you guys made me feel so cared for i really do appreciate it. thank you for all your help in the process of getting pregnant and staying pregnant and the day has finally came that i graduated from the clinic and i am very sad wish i could stay with you guys through the rest of pregnancy. Thank you again!
I can’t express enough how well you will be taken care of here. The whole place is so welcoming and their communication style is quick, efficient and honest. From the first time I met Dr. H, i felt taken care of. She sat down with us and explained the entire process. Not her coordinator, her. At other clinics I got 15 minutes of Face time with the doctor during the consultation. Here, she shows you the ultrasound and then reviews everything with you thoroughly! And wow, Martha. So knowledgeable and communicative. Every question of mine had an answer. She is an incredible coordinator and always remembers the small conversations we have in passing. She’d check in with me the next visit of how a big event went the prior weekend (which I vaguely mentioned the week before!) Their prices are slightly higher than other clinics but you get what you pay for!!!! I don’t feel like a number or a money sign here, I feel like a person. They are an incredible team.
The patient-care and education that Dr. H, Martha, Marina, Carly, and the rest of the team had was excellent! I felt prepared every step of the way and comfortable enough to ask questions. When it comes to billing and finances, there is room for improvement. There were surprise bills, not-so-clear communication as the process went along as to what was included in the initial cost and what wasnt, and I was re-billed for services that had already been paid. I hope communication whether via email, phone, or automated notifications can be better in the future for patients, but overall, I would recommend them. We are thankful for how theyve helped our family.
Look no further, Fertility Institute of San Diego should be your top and only choice!The whole team and experience was absolutely fantastic! Dr. H is so kind, understanding and incredibly talented at what she does. Carly, Martha, Marina and everyone else are so welcoming and answer any and all questions you might have. I can see how the process can be scary, but the team makes it incredibly easy and seamless. I 1 million percent recommend Fertility Institute of San Diego, they are true artists at what they do!
How can we possibly say enough about Dr. Minoos Hosseinzadeh and her entire team at Fertility Institute of San Diego? We had the absolute BEST experience with Dr. H and FISD during what is often a scary, emotional, sometimes desperate, and information-heavy process. Dr. Hosseinzadeh is the PERFECT person to guide anyone through this process. Her compassion, empathy, kindness, and level of expertise was unmatched while we interviewed multiple doctors before beginning. Her success rate over the last 25+ years speaks for itself. We never considered changing doctors and never will (if we choose to do IVF again).Everyone from Carly greeting you at the front desk to Marina helping you to your room to Martha being your nurse & also drawing your blood. Joann also may be a more permanent part of their lovely team now as well. Everyone in their practice loves what they do and cares about each and every detail of their patients. Dr. H has created an extremely calming & positive environment all around. They remembered details of our lives that even we forgot at times, lol. You are NOT just a number here.We asked SOOOOO many questions and they always had an answer for us! Sooooooo many questions. They are so patient & attentive. Can’t say enough.We loved their office in the Ximed building and parking is always easy enough (costs $3 after validation). Great coffee and food cart downstairs too for our busy lives!The AMAZING news! I’m 39 years-old and 23 weeks pregnant with our first child. WOOHOO! Baby boy is due on 3/30/2024. He is healthy and tracking well on all fronts!MORE INFO: It took us 2 Egg Retrieval Surgeries and 2 Frozen Embryo Transfers over the course of approximately 10 months when you count when the shots started to when we found out we were pregnant after the 2nd transfer. Due to my age and me being overweight (probably even technically “obese”), I was nervous how long this may take us and if it would work. We loved that Dr. H’s track record is a 75% success rate, so most of her patients get pregnant with 1-2 transfers. This was MUCH higher than the other 2 doctors we interviewed.I believe Dr. H’s policy is that she only does frozen embryo transfers because she genetically tests every embryo. I don’t think it’s an option not to, so we’d love that because that was something we wanted to do anyway.First Egg Retrieval Surgery was in December 2022 (18 eggs > 12 fertilized > 4 reached blastocyst > 1 genetically healthy embryo) and we progressed straight into a 2nd Egg Retrieval Surgery in February 2023 (17 eggs > 10 fertilized > 2 reached blastocyst > 1 genetically healthy embryo).First FET was April 2023. On Day 8 after FET, my HCG was 25. However, by Day 11 it had dropped to I think 13, so the embryo didn’t full “take”.I believe Dr. H only does day 5 transfers also unless they do an ERA first and determine it should be Day 4 or 6. Ask Dr. H about ERA! I recommend doing this early on before any transfer.We did an ERA, which confirmed Day 5 was the correct transfer day for me. It’s like an entire “mock transfer” as far as prep with shots.Then, we did a 2nd FET in July 2023 and here we are! Due in March 2024! WOOT WOOT.You guys - I just cannot describe how thorough Dr. H is!!!! This process costs so much money, so she uses science, data, and expertise to give you the absolute BEST shot at every turn! Plus, they have one of the best embryologists in the game I’ve heard!She’s the best as is her staff! 10/10.Oh, and even if your insurance doesn’t cover FISD, SUBMIT THE BILLS TO INSURANCE ANYWAY!!! We got quite a bit reimbursed months after the fact by submitting the bill from FISD to our BCBS PPO insurance online. PRO TIP: Ask your insurance company EXACTLY what you need listed on every FISD Superbill / invoice / receipt and then send those requirements to Carly.
The whole experience was so amazing!The doctor was so intelligent and she knows what she’s doing!Carly and Martha always answered my questions and Marina was the sweetest in recovery! She talked to me and took me to my car and is the absolute best!!!It was a great experience! Now we are hoping for a baby girl!
We came from a different fertility clinic with a lot of disappointment and fear that all clinics would be like that one was. Immediately we found out how lucky we were to be at Fertility Institute of San Diego. Dr. H has been extremely helpful and super informative the entire time. She answers any questions that we have with great detail so that we can understand the whole process. She is at every ultrasound and appointment and she continues to be very involved and hands on which is so nice having the same doctor with you through the entire journey!! This isn’t something you can find at most clinics. Millie has been our coordinator from day 1 and we are very thankful for her. She is so sweet and helpful with any questions we have and very reassuring through this overwhelming process. Whenever I email her, I get a response very quickly! She is awesome and we had an instant connection with her!! We are so excited to continue this journey with this amazing team at fertility institute of San Diego.
Can’t say enough good things about Dr H and her team. My husband and I are blessed to have a 5 year old son but unfortunately attempting to have a second child wasn’t going so well.. you see I have endometriosis and even though I had the surgery to remove it, years of trying we were still left with sadness every month not being pregnant. I found this clinic and we could not be happier with how we’ve been treated, the process, and oh yea we’re pregnant! Should be graduating soon and we could not be happier and more gracious!!
I highly recommendFertility Institute of San Diego.Five Stars Dr and Staff.First of all I would like to thankDr. Minoos Hosseinzadeh and all her staff for all the work, support and caring they Have done for us.We were very lucky to be at the Fertility Institute of San Diego. Dr. H has been extremely helpful and super informative the entire time. She answers any questions that we have with great detail so that we can understand the whole process. She is at every ultrasound and appointment and she continues to be very involved and hands on which is so nice having the same doctor with you through the entire journey!! This isn’t something you can find at most clinics. Millie and Martha have been our coordinators from day 1 and we are very thankful for them .They were so sweet and helpful with any questions we have and very reassuring through this overwhelming process. Whenever I email or call them I get a response very quickly! We are so excited to continue this journey with this amazing team at fertility institute of San Diego.Thank you again forDr.H, Milli, Martha and Marina.Wish you all the best always.
Dr. Hossenizadeh and her team is an absolute miracle!! I love how she does all the ultrasounds herself instead of a technician. They were ALWAYS on time or even took me early. Dr. H, Millie and Martha became our family over the months. Every step of the process was explained to us as we went along as to not be overwhelmed. I was able to preserve 6 healthy embryos and we are currently pregnant with a baby boy!! We are forever thankful to have found this great place. We cant wait for the arrival of our baby in October and look forward to more pregnancies with Dr. H and the team. Highly highly highly recommend!!!
A huge THANK YOU to Dr. H and her team (Milli and Martha)! These past months you all have been like family to us and treated us the same. We are very blessed, happy and excited to be pregnant with our child! I am very happy and thankful for the day I met Dr H. I had met a few doctors while my husband and I were considering our options and we were both very happy and comforted after our first conversation with Dr. H. Infertility is a hard journey and Dr. H and her team have always been there for all the questions and concerns, making the journey as easy and stress free as possible. They have been patient and welcoming. The personal care that was provided is unparalleled to anywhere else. The doctor saw us at every single appointment and gave us all the time we needed. Dr H. is a perfectionist and will not leave anything to chance making sure that there was no stone left unturned to get a successful outcome. I highly recommend Dr. H, I would even go so far as to say that you dont need to look anywhere else. She has been a miracle worker for us and we cant wait to meet our little blessing.
Dr. Hosseinzadeh is excellent and was able to help me achieve better outcomes than expected. Shes incredibly knowledgeable and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone dealing with infertility or wanting to proactively freeze their eggs!
I really cant say enough good things about our experience at Fertility Institute. Our journey has been a long one with a lot of tears both good and bad, days I didnt think we would make it, exhaustion both physically and financially, and almost giving up. I truly believe without the caring support from Dr.H and her team we would not be where we are today. When we decided to go down the path of IVF I knew I needed a caring present doctor and staff working with us through it and Dr.H exceeded our expectations. As a military family my husband has had to be away for many if not most of my procedures. Dr.H has ALWAYS asked about him and kept him in the loop when he couldnt be present. When he is able to be there she always makes him feel apart of the process which is so important to us. Both Dr.H and Martha especially have been there for me personally when I had tears or endless questions they would always answer them and let me know I am not alone in this journey. We consider Dr.H and her team apart of our now thankfully growing family.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hosseinzadeh and her staff. I had previously gone to another fertility center that was giving me the run around and kept putting off my treatment (for almost five years) because they perceived me as a bad candidate for IVF. I finally got frustrated and sought out a new doctor. I saw three different doctors but chose Dr. Hosseinzadeh who seemed the most knowledgeable and committed to my success. Within three months of my first visit with Dr. Hosseinzadeh I was pregnant, and later that year gave birth to a healthy baby.Dr. Hosseinzadeh is a testament to what a difference it makes to have a doctor that not only has the required knowledge and skills, but also believes in you and is invested in your success. Her staff was also extremely compassionate and professional. As a team they worked tirelessly to make my husband’s and I’s dreams a reality.Fertility struggles are real, and I am so glad I found Fertility Institute of San Diego to partner with on my journey.
The Fertility Institute of San Diego delivered an exceptional journey from April to June, resulting in our 18-week pregnancy with a baby girl. Dr. Minoos Hosseinzadeh, and the entire team showcased remarkable care and professionalism. Recommending their IVF services in San Diego, CA is easy. Their support turned our conception dream into reality, making the experience truly extraordinary.
There are not enough words in the world to express my gratitude for this miracle team. I’m so utterly grateful for Dr Hosseinzadeh and Martha and the whole team. Martha has been with me every step of the way and I cannot thank her and the whole staff enough. I never felt alone in the process or overwhelmed because Martha was with me every step of the way. I’m truly grateful. A little back story I do have endometriosis. My husband got a vasectomy reversal in 2020 and we tried for 8 months with no luck and turns out the surgery wasn’t successful. Despite the end result, it still took a toll on us. Trying to conceive is an emotional journey nonetheless. The trooper that he is got another one in 2022. The surgery was successful this time around. But unfortunately a few months in and still nothing. The toll this took on me emotionally and mentally, I didn’t think having a baby would ever happen for me; for us. Finally about a year into trying I found my miracle team FISD. They are truly truly amazing. The warmth and assurance they give you is like no other. They are with you every step of the way. I have gone to other fertility specialists before and I always felt overwhelmed and anxious and just overall I always felt on my own, but not with FISD. They treat you like family. They are there with you for every step and you never feel alone or unsure about anything. I got started on letrozole, trigger shots and progesterone. But again the toll of trying to conceive you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel so I thought despite having a plan it just wasn’t in my future. I was convinced but Dr Hosseinzadeh was positive it would happen for us and with her amazing team she was right. Thanks to her and her amazing team we are expecting our first baby! We are so over the moon about it. My husband and I are still on cloud 9. I’m truly so thankful for FISD. There are really not enough words to express my gratitude. We would not be here without them. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Dr. Hosseinzadeh and her team have become part of our family throughout our fertility journey. They have supported us in both times of celebration and times of loss.Dr. Hosseinzadeh has a unique ability to explain highly technical information with user friendly language. She is compassionate, incredibly talented, detail-driven and so very kind. Martha, our coordinator, is simply the best. She is warm, knowledgeable and always on the ball.The office staff can teach a masterclass on communication and efficiency. They are respectful of our time and have been proven capable of accommodating our scheduling needs.I am so thankful for this staff. When our time comes to have a baby, we will have Dr. Hosseinzadeh and her team to thank!
My wife and I are unable to have children without IVF, now with the help of Dr Hosseinzadeh and her staff, we are now pregnant! Our journey was not without hardship, it had some of the biggest emotional highs and lows I’ve ever experienced, and our journey took us longer than we expected. Being active duty military there were some portions that I would have to miss and Dr H and the staff were there for my wife when I could not be. I really appreciate the professionalism and support given to us during one of the most trying times in our lives.
Fertility Institute of San Diego staffs are always nice, welcoming and organized. Milli is always available to answer your questions and inform you right away if theres any change in protocol. She even gave us tips on how to get discount on meds. Dr H is very thorough at the initial consultation and very honest about what to expect as you go through the process. We are very satisfied with the care provided to us.
I am traveling this journey with my daughter who wholeheartedly wants to be a mother. Coming to all the appointments, procedures and listening as Dr H would explain things. So let me tell you about my experience along side my daughters journey. I felt that my daughter was in great hands. I was always included in all conversations and most of all my daughter and I felt loved. If I had any questions, Dr H would explain things in a way that I could understand. I am thankful for Dr H, for being the dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate doctor that she is. Words cant express my gratitude for all that she does and continue to do for my daughter. A special thanks to her nurse Millie. Shes not just a nurse, shes your friend. We admire you both, you are truly two amazing human beings!
I can’t imagine going through this journey with any other team. Dr. Hosseinzadeh, Martha, Mille, and staff have been the best part about an experience that is unpredictable at best, disappointing at other times, and hopefully- in our near future- joyous. Through the ups and downs, my wife and I have felt supported and understood by these women in a way that has been paramount to our ability to keep trying to accomplish our dreams of motherhood. Dr. Hosseinzadeh is the ideal blend of badass doctor who still sees her patients as people and whose warm heart is always on display. Martha, our coordinator, always makes us feel heard. We had no idea when we were choosing Fertility Institute of San Diego as our fertility team that we were choosing more than doctors and specialists. We gained a little family on our journey of trying to create just that.
As the female partner of the person going through the fertility process, I was immediately welcomed by everyone at FISD. They knew me by name and always made sure to include me when they were going over everything with my partner. And because I was the one administering the shots, they were always available if I had any questions. (Their online tutorials were a huge help!).Dr. H was a wealth of knowledge and she never pushes you one way or the other; she offers all of the information to you and gives you the space to decide what direction to go.Millie and Martha were always talked about the second my partner got home. They all became like family, rooting us on the entire way, feeling the emotions with us.As the partner, I was the one on the outside making sure she was supported, writing down the information so we wouldn’t forget, and giving her the shots. FISD was there to hold her hand. What a cool experience to go through with a group of “strangers” who want this to happen as badly as you do. 5/5
My husband and I went to Fertility Institute of San Diego because we were not happy at our other fertility clinic. It was time to make a change. New clinic, New work up, New chance! Once meeting Dr. Hosseinzadeh and her team we felt right at home. Every appointment we had we got to see Dr. Hosseinzadeh and she made us feel like family. Infertility is such a challenging journey and Dr. Hosseinzadeh was with us every step of the way, explaining every procedure with such patience. She was so communicative and available for any questions and concerns we had and made all the difference in the world to us. More than anything, we are thrilled to have achieved a healthy pregnancy and to have welcomed a beautiful baby girl! I highly recommend Dr. Hosseinzadeh and her team to assist with any fertility needs. She is a miracle maker and we are forever indebted to her for our blessing.
We strongly regretted being their customer that caused super expensive emotionally and financially for us. Their irresponsible actions, lack of coordination, dishonest methods, and mismanagement. focused on making money. incorrect diagnoses. What’s more concerning is their unwillingness to admit their mistakes or take responsibility. The absence of a skilled team, with no doctors or specialists other than Minos Hosseinzadeh, has resulted in disastrous outcomes, as IVF is very sensitive procedure, caused the waste of our embryos. no considering patient satisfaction. We insist that they face consequences for their extremely poor performance. as it is completely unacceptable.
There are not enough words to express how amazing Dr. H and her entire staff are. Never in my life have I felt more included and had so much attentiveness and care from a doctor. From my first phone consultation with Dr. H, her caring, warm, and positive personality is one that you would never want to leave. She continuously walks you thru the entire process so you know what to expect on each visit, what symptoms you may be feeling at home, and the most important for myself, the “why” for each step. It helped me so much to understand and be included in each step of my fertility journey and the reasoning behind each decision made. Her staff is just as amazing as she is. They call when they say they will; they always answer the phone; and most of all, they make themselves available for anything. There were times I was worried, or feeling something different, and I immediately worry. To ease my own mind, I would always reach out to Dr. H’s IVF coordinators, Martha and Millie. Both took the time to get me answers and call me back to ease my mind. The doctor HERSELF made the time to call me on numerous occasions to explain my next steps.. and the most incredible part, was it wasn’t a short phone call!! Dr. H spent as much time as I needed on the phone to calm my nerves or provide guidance; on more than one occasion.Dr. H and her entire team are some of the BEST people I have ever been lucky enough to come across. After 2 egg retrievals, we successfully created 2 embryos and am now 12 weeks pregnant. There was never a doubt in my mind, with Dr. H’s expertise, knowledge, care, and attention to detail that we wouldn’t be successful.My husbands point of view below:When I first sat down with my wife and talked about going to see Dr H. I have to admit, I was very hesitant. I’m a factual type of person. I don’t usually pull the trigger on anything unless I’m pretty sure of the outcome. After meeting Dr H and her staff, I went home that day and had totally different outlook on what I’ve only been dreaming about for years. A child of my own was now possible. Starting from the egg retrievals, to the transfer, she and her staff had only the very best of interest for my wife and I; always making themselves available for questions, concerns, or just a genuine conversation. I am 59 years old and truly thought that time had passed me by. Imagine my first call of that we successfully made 2 embryos! Then multiply infinity when Dr H and her whole staff got us both on the phone to tell us we were pregnant. I’ve heard of the expression over the moon.. but never fully understood what that meant until that day. I would recommend anyone out there who doesn’t think they have a shot to this, to give this wonderful woman and her staff a chance. If they can make my dream come true, then they most certainly can do it for anyone out there thinking about doing this. I’m a believer. I couldn’t say that in the beginning, but I most certainly am now.
So far we’ve had our Skype consultation with Dr. Hosseinzadeh and we feel the warm kindness and heartfelt sincerity from her as well as Millie our coordinator. We look forward to our journey with them and to know we are in good hands makes us that more comfortable with the process. Thank you Fertility Institute of SD, we appreciate you dearly.
Dr. Hosseinzadeh, Millie, and Martha have played such an important role in my journey to become a mother. I took this journey on my own with my mother by my side 8 months ago. Every time I came into the clinic it feels like I was welcomed wholeheartedly. Millie has been my biggest supporter from the very beginning starting off with the initial email and phone call. Her compassion and gentleness for me has set her apart from everyone else. I started off with IUI and after several unsuccessful tries we found that IVF would be the next best option. My first IVF cycle, though unsuccessful as well, unveiled the necessary data as to why the IUI attempts were unsuccessful. Just when I thought my dreams of becoming a mother were gone, Dr. Hosseinzadeh continued to give me hope given the new information found from that IFV cycle. I’m now in my second IFV cycle and this time has been much more successful than the first. They were able to capture almost 2.5x more eggs and fertilize 5x as many eggs.Dr. Hosseinzadeh and her team alone would be the reason why I would highly recommend her clinic. You are not just a patient there, you are family. They want this dream and much as you do.
TL;DR: This is an amazing doctor, amazing office staff! Dr. H is hands-on and gets the results. We don’t deserve her, she’s knowledgeable, innovative and passionate about her patients. I would never have been able to get pregnant without her.Long version:I wish I could explain to you in words the miracle that that we experienced when we found Dr. H. Words are not enough to adequately communicate how special she and this facility are but I will do my best to show you.My husband and I have been married for 8 years, we were trying to get pregnant for 3 of those years.Before we found Dr. H I had given up. I could not bear to see another negative pregnancy test. I could not handle not knowing what was wrong with me and why I could not fix it. I’m a bit of a DIYer, I love mending clothes and creating my own life-hacks. But when it came to fertility I could not make it work and none of the advice my well-intentioned family and friends gave helped.My amazing husband looked on Google one day and found an office close by with great reviews.I was terrified at first, terrified to fail (as if it was in my control), but I was willing to meet her.It was during the peak of the pandemic, September 2020, so our first meeting was via zoom. I was late because of a work call, flustered and unsure, and then I saw her on the screen. She called me “my dear,” knew a few key things about me because of a questionnaire and told us strait away what we might be facing. There was something about her positive nature and attention to details that made me trust her from the start.Fast forward to our first in-person meeting. Lots of tests have been done and she’s telling us in detail about why we have experienced infertility. The information she gave me was so clear and direct, hard to hear but almost reassuring. I finally knew. There was a lot working against both my husband and myself, but she had a detailed plan to get us pregnant. We went through two rounds of IVF, got 7 healthy embryos, and as I’m writing this, one of those embryos is in my uterus. I feel hope for the first time, that we will soon have a beautiful baby girl.
During our first consultation, we were impressed by Dr. H’s patience, knowledge and transparency of the IVF/ICSI process and quickly earned our trust. Dr. H, Millie and Martha’s guidance and support helped us get through the overwhelming IVF process and stress by creating custom, comprehensive plans for my journey to a successful egg retrieval and embryo transfer. We always received prompt service and great, personal care that we have never experienced in healthcare. I am now 14 weeks pregnant and can’t wait to meet our baby in early 2023 and future babies with the help of FISD. We can’t thank the team enough for making our dream of building a family into a reality.
Dr. H is an excellent medical ally for your assisted family planning. She will give you the full spectrum of what is ahead and be a great cheerleader for you and your spouse. Her extreme attention to your experience makes her and her team seem like family. Great leaders cannot be great without a 5-star staff. They are warm, knowledgeable, and very accurate. Youll feel like you have every bit of support you need for your journey, and not mention a huge support network advocating for your overall health and well-being.
If you are considering freezing your eggs, I highly recommend the Fertility Institute of San Diego. Dr. Hosseinzadeh (Dr. H) is an excellent doctor. A few things I loved about Dr. H is that she is incredibly compulsive and detailed oriented but also understanding, realistic, honest, and committed to you and your reproductive goals. Also, her staff, Millie and Martha, delivered me a level of care, compassion, and competence that is unmatched. Mille and Martha have many years of experience in this specialized field. They were also super response to all my questions via email and phone . When they were busy assisting a patient, they always returned my call in a timely manner.If you’re anything like me, it seems like the terms precision medicine, personalized care, and patient-tailored treatments are quickly becoming watered down by clinics using it as a marketing ploy to attract patients. Dr. H and her team restored my faith in personalized care. Dr. H and her team very closely monitored my progress throughout my journey and made informed decisions to help improve my success along the way.About me: I always dreamed of having children. As a single 34 year old woman, with no children, the ticking of my biological clock was often at the forefront of my mind. Once my gynecologist at a leading hospital reminded me that, “I chose my career over children.” While I know egg freezing by no means promises pregnancy down the road, thanks to my experience, I feel that I have the best chance of success in the future. Now that the egg retrieval process is over, a lot of the biological clock mental weight has been lifted. Thank you Dr. H, Millie and Martha for making it easy for me to fully trust you with my care.No regrets. If anything, I would have just told my younger self to go for it sooner. Will definitely come back for other fertility needs.
I have my eggs frozen here. Their office staff is a joke. They dont send you a bill, raise the yearly cost without notifications and charge ridiculous fees.
Going through the process of freezing my eggs was overall a lovely experience by Dr. Hosseinzadeh and her wonderful staff. My appts were timely but never rushed and everyone there was so helpful in answering my questions. This process was so intimidating to start but every step of the way I felt more confident because of the support offered by Dr. H and her whole office. I will return in the future with any other fertility needs as I have full trust in this team!
I am so glad I found Dr. Hasseinzadah and her team, Martha and BIG shout out to Millie! They have been so kind, caring and helpful since day one. Prior to meeting The Dr. - Millie reached out to me to set up the consult, and has been there every step of the way. When I say her customer care goes beyond I mean x100. She immediately responds and I never feel stupid asking her a question. She takes time to check in and make sure I am okay and understanding the process.Dr Hosseinzadah is beyond amazing. She is so passionate and with her experience is so knowledgeable- but she can explain things to me in a way where I really understand. From why to what to how, she is so good at explaining the process in a meaningful way. You can tell she is in love with what she does.This process is necessary I feel for everyone, no matter what age. I am just so glad I chose them bc they have made me feel welcome and comfortable and informed since day one. Never feel it’s too late or too early to get checked out. Not fair, but our clocks are always ticking as women!
We were looking into IVF for a few years. We consulted many fertility specialists in the San Diego and Los Angeles area. After our initial consultation with Dr. Hosseinzadeh, we knew she was the one we wanted to go with. She is very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. She explained us the whole process in detail using analogies and answered all of our questions and concerns. She is the most caring and compassionate doctor. Her perfectionist personality is exactly what we needed. She did not take chances with anything. Every step was well planned, and attention was paid to every detail. She monitored me very closely and was available to us whenever we needed, even on weekends and after hours. Her staff is amazing, flexible, courteous, and caring. They kept my busy schedule in mind when scheduling appointments, reminded me of upcoming appointments, and promptly returned my calls. Even though we were a very complicated case, Dr. Hosseinzadeh did not give up on us and did not let us give up. She figured out the problem and was able to fix it using her expertise. We are now 21 weeks pregnant with our son. We are very thankful and glad we chose her. We highly recommend Dr. Hosseinzadeh. She is absolutely the best!
Friendly and helpful staff. Dr. H is great, very professional and always willing to answer questions and talk through different situations. She tries her best to help her patients achieve the best results in each cycle.
An absolutely wonderful clinic. From the moment I met the doctor in the pink room I was immediately put at ease. Ive never met a type-a personality who was so on top of everything, organized and through who was also genuinely kind, compassionate, friendly and just as excited for my journey/amazing results as I am. I am now happily expecting and would not only come back I would happily recommend her to all of my friends and family!
When I Googled IVF and came across Dr. Hs practice, I had no idea what I was in for. I had been through A LOT emotionally and physically which lead us to this point, and I was full of fear and anxiety. Dr. H was the perfect match for my husband and I and we could not have asked for a more thorough, type-A, caring and genuine doctor and office. Our journey was long and exhausting and not always full of good news. Dr. H was always available for me and did everything she could to help us grow our family. Although our case was difficult and threw many bumps in the road, I would recommend her and her practice to anyone looking for their last (or first) resort of hope. We are currently expecting and could not be happier!
I was a repeat surrogate, and for our second journey, Dr Hosseinzadeh was our IVF Doctor. From the start she was always patient open to answering any questions at all that I had. What I found the most comforting, was that she was not only interested in helping our IPs conceive, but also about how I felt about the entire process along the way. I was also very confident in her as a doctor as well that she made sure that I myself was a good fit for the parents as well for this process. Her staff is very attentive, respectful and punctual with returning any calls and emails. While they are located in California, I myself reside in Wisconsin, even with the long distance medication adjustments, etc. I felt as though her office was right around the corner from my own home. With her help, our IPs were able to complete their family with twins!
We were very hesitant to go through IVF so we took a year to decide. Dr. H and her team received us and talked to us without any pressure multiple times during this one year. They were extremely patient. Well, no regrets, we are now the proud parents of a little boy. During the protocol they answered every questions (and we had a lot), were always in a good mood, sweet and made this process very personal. I would highly recommend this institute if you are looking for state of the art, personal IVF care.
I found Fertility Institute of San Diego through google. I didn’t know the day I called for a consultation appointment would be the best decision of my life. Dr Hosseinzadeh is the most patient doctor I’ve been to. She explained the entire process, patiently answered every question I ever had and did everything in her power to get us pregnant. She is a calming presence as is her office. She gives you the entire truth while being sensitive to your emotions because let’s face it, when you need extensive fertility treatments such as ivf, you’re already emotionally wrought. My case was especially difficult but I am successfully pregnant and I am forever grateful to Dr Hosseinzadeh and Fertility Institute of San Diego. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Hosseinzadeh. My experience was definitely not an easy one but I was so supported and cared for by Dr Hosseinzadeh and her entire staff.
I like this clinic all staff are very friendly and doctor Minos is very kine and friendly she is a very responsible person, I lived in Orange County but I choose this clinic because when I had a first meeting with her in skype, she gave me good feeling . I recommend this clinic for having baby , the biggest thing is that the first delivery embryo was successful even I am not young.
This is the most pessimistic, inconsiderate doctor my wife and I have ever been to. My wife burst into tears due to what Dr. H told us during our consultation. She strongly advised us to consider IVF and gave (refused to give) any other option, even though we had made it VERY clear that we were looking for alternative means of conceiving.I have low sperm count but genetically wise nothing is wrong with myself and I do have motile healthy sperms.However, Dr. H immediately drew the conclusion that we had zero chance of getting pregnant (except for IVF) --YES, thats what she said during our consultation: ZERO chance--. Think how devastating that is to hear. Though, she immediately corrected herself given how ludicrous, unthoughtful and UNTRUE that claim was. How can you say ZERO chance?My wife is perfectly fine, though there were some recent issues Dr. H observed during her ultrasound. What did she recommend? Since IVF is the only option, these issues arent a concern?! Assume your follicle tubes are closed, but according to Dr. H thats not important, as during IVF they dont have to be open! Imagine THAT!Is this all? Of course not! She said to my wife that her clock is ticking faster than others (based on a single ultrasound session), and we should act quickly with IVF! How can someone say such an inconsiderate thing, especially after all her other metrics look fine!As a result, my wife is still in severe shock and depression after this consultation. Most disregardful, fully unthoughtful.There is a huge distinction between telling inconvenient facts and being outright inconsiderate (and bullying the patient into selecting IVF), especially when there are no guarantees about anything. Dr. Hs attitude belongs to the latter category.If you want to go through IVF/IOU without human connection you might consider her, as I believe thats all this clinic proposes (not fertility institute but IVF institute). For anything else I recommend staying away!
The entire team is perfect. Shaunee ensures to keep appointments on top, Dr. Hosseinzadeh follows up, at every point in time. The IVF cycle and FET cycle was planned as per our schedule. The only sad part is the intramuscular meds needed on a daily basis which was painful for the wife. Otherwise the entire process was seamless. I truly recommend this clinic and the center.
We were looking for answers and help with a very important decision and I am very pleased with what we found in Dr Hosseinzadah and her staff at FISD - Millie has been awesome in assisting us every step of the way as we learn more about all the necessary steps to this life changing process. If you are looking for caring and complete staff to help with this journey - look no further than the folks at FISD
Super Disappointed. Highly Not recommended!We already have embryo, were trying to move our embryo to this institute, my old place told me if I move to the new place, normally the new facility is supposed to have the tank for this transportation (free or little fee)Unfortunately this institute doesnt have this service.does not have tank for embryo transportation. You gonna call the specific transportation company to do so, and pay another 700 bucks.(most facility will pay for this or have the tank for you)Then i requested refund, Shauni did not answer the phone any more and got charged 500 dollars for cancellation fee per their so-called stupid policy (during the pay date and cancellation date, only 2 days, no doctor appointment and 500 dollarsgone)Most importantly, my wife as a patient has not signed the consent paperwork for cancellation fee. As a Partner, i paid and signed only.( Because on that day no doctor appointment i went to this facility for payment only, my wife didnt signed the paperwork for consent. they told me my wife would sign too By next appointment, but, when I requested the refund, they said my wife didnt have to sign, and 500 bucks wouldnt be refunded!Highly not recommended!
Great team, they took good care of us and I am very satisfied by our experience thank you milly , Martha and dr 👩⚕️ We really do appreciate you guys 😀

Dr. Hosseinzadeh is an incredible doctor. She’s brilliant, kind, and amazing at her craft. I’d highly recommend the Fertility Institute.
