After researching many IVF clinics, I came across Bay IVF. I chose this clinic based on Dr. Polanskys experience (35+ years) and many positive reviews. It was the best decision of my life. From the moment we had our first consultation with Dr. Polansky, we knew we were in good hands with Bay IVF. Dr. Polansky is incredibly knowledgeable and it shows. Dr. Polansky and his team are caring, kind, helpful, compassionate, and go above and beyond. From start to finish, everything went smoothly. Communication was always excellent with quick responses. Scheduling appointments was easy and I would always be seen earlier than my appointment time. My partner and I were very comfortable from the very beginning. I am forever grateful to Dr. Polansky and his team for being a part of our journey to starting a family. I am currently 12 weeks and 2 days and today, I graduated from the clinic. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Polansky and his team (nurses: Alex and Minerva. Front desk: Erica and Nisha, and the amazing embryologists) at Bay IVF for bringing me to this moment. I would recommend this clinic in a heartbeat and over and over again.Here is a glimpse of how our treatment went:January 2024- Initial appointmentFebruary- March 2024- Ovarian stimulationMarch 2024-Egg retrieval (10 retrieved, 7 fertilized, 6 blastocyst , 4 embryos)May 2024- Frozen embryo transferJune 2024- 4 week heartbeat ultrasoundWe did choose to do PGT and we decided to go with the IVF Duo plan, our first transfer was successful.Alice and Michael

I was super grateful to find this place and probably introduced to 20+ my friends. The doctor Polanksy has super professional skills and a lot of experience to face different cases. English is my second language, so I had too many vocabulary didn’t understand. Megan and Erica were very patience to answer each of my questions. 😂So the whole process was smooth. I really really appreciated this clinic did everything to me. I have my dragon twin boys 12 weeks now. When I saw them in the ultrasound, they were so active. 🥰🥰 lovely. I will keep updates with the clinic and come back for my second twin girls. 👧🏻👧🏻. Wait me.

From our first consultation we knew this is where we wanted to go for IVF. Dr. Polansky and his team provide you with all of the information you need in making a decision about going through with IVF. My wife and I felt an instant connection with the whole Bay IVF team and knew they would take care of us through our fertility journey.The entire Bay IVF team welcomes you, works with you, and truly cares about your out come. Dr. Polanksy and his team are always there for you when you have questions or concerns and provide you with honest feedback. My wife and I truly thank Bay IVF for our successful outcome and were sad to leave. Bay IVF makes you feel special!

Dr. Polansky and his medical staff are miracle workers. We had tried implanting once before with Kindbody and it was an inferior and unsuccessful experience. We highly recommend going with Bay IVF, especially if your previous attempts have been unsuccessful.Dr. Polansky is one of the most experienced IVF doctors out there, having worked in the industry since 1985. And it shows. He set clear expectations from the beginning and took the time to explain every step of the process with us. We especially appreciated his honesty and that was huge in building trust. This gave us confidence in the process, which was needed after our first unsuccessful implantation.Bay IVF changed our lives and we can’t thank Dr. Polansky and his staff enough for being there for us and helping us bring a healthy child into our family. I believe that Bay IVF is the best in the business.

Five stars is not enough for the amazing Bay IVF team!Words could never express the gratitude my husband and I will always have for Bay IVF! We were initially planning treatment through Stanford, but didnt feel comfortable there. Thats when we did our research and decided to check out Bay IVF. We scheduled a consultation and felt an instant connection... love at first sight!Dr. Polansky is FANTASTIC and has been performing IVF treatment for a very long time. And you can tell he really loves what he does! He is also very honest, which is very much appreciated.But its not just Dr. Polansky that takes great care of you; his entire team is absolutely amazing. Theyre knowledgable, efficient, patient (I had a lot of questions every time I went in!), warm, and they always make sure youre comfortable at all times.Im so happy to say we are expecting our firstborn early next year after a successful treatment!! I cannot thank Dr. Polansky and his amazing team enough!

I would highly recommend Bay IVF for those wanting to build their family and needing IVF support! From the beginning, Dr. Polansky and the whole Bay IVF team was so supportive and welcoming, while also honest and realistic. We had looked into other IVF clinics who were nice, but we felt not as forthcoming about the reality of our situation. Dr. Polansky’s straightforward approach was one of the reasons we chose Bay IVF. We also had a unique situation, and Dr. Polansky was happy to support us with our goals of building our family!Even though there were lots of ups and downs along the way, Dr. Polansky and his team always had hope for us and went out of their way to support us in continuing the journey! I also truly believe Dr. Polansky’s recommendations made the difference for us with my egg quality! When we came to a point where we were unsure what else could be done, Dr. Polansky came up with an idea that miraculously worked! Now I am sitting cuddled up with our 2 month old baby girl, who is smiling in her sleep 🥰We will be forever grateful to Dr. Polansky, Iris, Minerva, Vivian, Alex, Erica, Julie, our embryologists, and the rest of the Bay IVF team! Our girl is our dream come true!!

My wife and I worked with Dr. Polanski and the rest of Bay IVF staff to realize our dream of having a second child.We had a wonderful experience, starting with our initial consultations. We both felt that Dr. Polanski is very competent and knowledgable about all aspects of IVF and just as importantly we felt that he really cared and helped us make informed decisions that best fit our circumstances.Once we got on the way, we had great support from Bay IVF. The IVF process can have ups and downs. Dr. Polanski and his staff were there for us through it all. We made it through thanks to his encouragement and perseverance. And thanks to his holistic approach to IVF such as emphasis on a healthy diet and other life style recommendations.We are now happy parents of a second child and we can just as happily recommend Bay IVF.

They were responsive and helpful with all of my questions. I found Dr. Polansky to be extremely knowledgable, kind, and honest. I can only give the highest recommendations to Dr. Polansky and the entire Bay IVF team!

This is a preliminary opinion about the pricing:IVF package Price listed on the website doesnt include initial consultation ( $420), Exam ($660), Semen analysis ( $510). They all add up and becomes really expensive. They will not let your PCP order these so that they can have additional proceedings from the tests. Please note that you will have to pay around $4000 for prescriptions as well. Overall you will have to spend around ~$18,000 for a single transfer regardless the IVF will be successful or not.No transparency and Not helpful to save.Updated review after Dr.Polanskys reply:There are lot cheaper IVFs in Los Angeles area, CNY fertility is significantly cheaper, they have nationwide service.we already spent close to $50k in treatments.We have done thorough diagnosis with an expert IVF doctor from SutterHealth. Identified some issues, treated, also we have to increase the dosage of medicines to get good quality of eggs. All these tests were done last month. We just dont want to get broken by doing all these tests again, eg: semen tests can be done by PCP but your representative said it has to be done at your clinic.I was looking for some way to reduce the burden, may be you are a little bit cheaper than other IVFs in bay area but not much.

Bay IVF is an excellent place for fertility treatments. The staff is friendly and they treat you like family. Dr. Francis Polansky cannot be described in words, one has to experience working with him. I love Bay IVF!

From the first consultation to the day I graduated to the care of my OB I was treated so well at Bay IVF! I had my first consultation in September 2014 and last appointment in Feb/March 2016.Each step of the way I was treated with such respect by each member of staff that I met. Whoever happened to be at reception always had a welcoming smile and a kind word. Minerva and Iris both put me at ease at each blood draw visit, knowing I was not a fan of needles, they would chat to me about anything else and inevitably I would end up actually enjoying those visits! I received constant communication from the nurses throughout my treatment which gave me a lot of comfort. I knew I was in good hands.Dr Polansky is such a wonderful doctor. What I loved most about my visits with him was his honesty. He is definitely a doctor who tells it like it is and because of this fact, I trusted his decisions implicitly. I never doubted his choice of medication combinations or the schedule of taking them. When I had a miscarriage he was so caring and I was comforted knowing there was nothing we could have done differently. He gave me time to decide whether wed try again. He always explained why something needed to be done or why something couldnt be done. We had a successful outcome in the end and this success was shared by all at Bay IVF!They say it takes a village to raise a child, the people at Bay IVF will forever be a part of my village. I highly recommend this clinic.
