BEST FERTILITY SPECIALIST IN THE VALLEY.I dont write reviews but had to share this experience.My husband and I tried having kids for 3+ years on our own with no luck. I did my research and found a few doctors that were covered by my insurance.The first reason I chose to visit Advanced Fertility Care was because their website provided you with good information on your options and encouraged you to go outside of their practice and do your own research. I like to stay informed and educate myself so this was a big plus.They also have 3 locations which makes it more convenient. The 2 doctors (both are amazing) rotate through these locations and the staff does the same....so you get familiar with the team and it makes the experience more comfortable.Once I made an appointment with AFC they called me about a week before the appointment to update me that my insurance was checked out and gave me the breakdown of what will be covered and what to expect financially when I come in for my appointment.We primarily worked with Dr. Larsen but did visit with Dr. Zoneraich a few times. Both doctors were down to earth, treated you like a person and not a #, gave you time to ask questions and showed great compassion. Both doctors were very thorough in performing all the right tests to make the best possible recommendation for your unique situation.The staff was always accommodating and pleasant... that includes the billing (which is normally a nightmare in any other situation). The front desk ladies knew who you were when you came...it got pretty emotional at times and I received many hugs :) so they made it feel like you had support and I felt like they really cared.We are now 4 months pregnant with a little girl... cant wait to meet her.If I had to do it again I would not change a thing... well... maybe one... I would of done this sooner.
My wife and I have been trying for over six years to start a family, starting with trying naturally of course, IUI, IVF, and 3 transfers prior to meeting with Dr.Z and the Advanced Fertility team. We wanted to give it one more shot and were lucky enough to have a family friend offer to be a carrier, as well as try one more tansfer with my wife as well.We opted to use a donor egg this time. We felt very comfortable right off the bat. We had worked with 2 other fertility centers in Phoenix and Scottsdale prior. This team made us feel welcome and laid out a game plan and set our expectations and were very clear and realistic.Our wait times were non existent compared to another major facility where we did our first IVF, avg wait 30-40 mins. We were not sold or told that they guaranteed to fill our house with kids like we heard verbatim at other establishments.Staff was always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I feel like they are part of the family. We actually look forward to going in and always enjoyed visiting the so many kind ppl that work there. Cant say enough about Dr.Z, Kristen, Sherri, Stephanie, Bethany and so many other great people that have helped us.In terms of finances, they were very up front in regards to costs and what to expect. They try to help with insurance and I never felt like I was out of the loop, very organized.To wrap it up, we are now pregnant, both our carrier and my wife are carrying and we know we still have along way to go. But we owe so much to this practice and we will miss them a lot as we are now moving on to the OB/GYN phase. Could not recommend this place enough!! Best we have dealt with and we have dealt with some of the biggest and well known practices in the area. 5 stars!
