Reviews

(2023, USA Parents)

Pacific Fertility Center is great. We worked with Dr. Ryan for both of our surrogacies and were really happy working with her. She and her team and precise and focused on constantly improving their success rates. We went through two transfers to reach out first pregnancy and only one transfer for our second pregnancy.

(2023, USA Parents)

We had a great medical outcome in the end, but the journey was plagued with errors, poor coordination and management on the part of the Fertility Clinic. This added a lot of stress and anxiety to ourselves (IPs) and our gestational carrier. The staff at PFC are all good people but they seem to be overworked / overwhelmed with the number of patients they serve.

(2023, International Parents)

It was even easier working with PFC on my second journey.
