Reviews
(2022, USA parents) The agency was great. Sometimes it was a bit of a let down to have to deal with unexpected costs and the emotional toll of dealing with let downs of cycles not going to plan and being delayed a couple of times, but it was nice to see that we got our child first try.
Approved
(2021, International parents) The clinic, headed by Dr. Winkler, was great. During the whole process the staff was very welcoming. I received warm treatment, very professional. Dr. Winkler would call to explain where we are in the process and what it means of everything, lots of patience and courtesy. The little things that make a big difference especially when it comes to a complex process, the availability of the doctor, and the accessibility of information throughout the process were simply excellent. Highly satisfied.
Approved
(2017 & 2019, US parents) Dr. Winkler and her staff were truly amazing through our surrogacy journey, for both of our children. We would highly recommend her services to any future parents!
Approved
(2019, International parents) Dr. Winkler is an amazing doctor! She is so helpful and available at any time, and also all the nurses are so nice. They were all perfect.
Approved
(2019, International parents) LARC staff has been great. All the staff is always ready to assist and cheerful. We have been really pleased with the services and Dr. Nurit Winkler in particular was very important in our journey. We will be always grateful for your assistance, support and professional services.

(2019, International parents) We had a great experience with this clinic. Dr. Winkler is an amazing doctor, very professional and dedicated. She gave us all the information and reassurance we needed.
Approved
(2018, International parents) We absolutely loved working with Dr. Winkler! We did IVF with a surrogate. She really took her time to explain all the steps along the way, we could always ask questions. When decisions had to be made she explained us clearly the options with pro's and cons and gave us her opinion but left us the freedom to make choices. She gave great advice from all the experience she has. We trust her and took her advice, she knew what she was doing! With a great result. We had some bumps along our journey to become parents but Dr. Winkler was always there, supportive, compasionate and positive! She was easily reachable and always replied or reached out to us when needed, so all the communication always went well. We would definately work with Dr. Winkler again and would also recommand working with Dr. Winkler to other intended parents.

(2018, International parents) Dr Winkler helped make our dream come true. Being two females from New Zealand our options for creating a family were quite limited. We decided to take control of the situation as best we could and go to the US to do IVF. It was scary and very overwhelming just thinking about the whole process but once we found Dr Winkler things became much easier. She truly is a guardian Angel. We spoke many times via Skype before we went over and she put us at ease with her wonderful caring manner and obvious intelligence and experience. Because of the realities of nature we had a bit of a roller coaster ride but the whole way through she kept us positive and optimistic. Today we have a beautiful 3 month old baby boy and we couldn't be happier. Dr Winkler will always have a special place in our hearts and we would recommend her and her wonderful team to anyone around the world who is having difficulty creating their own family.
Approved
(2018, International parents) After some conversations with some friends of us from Israel,Dr Winkler was highly recommended to us! Every question was quickly answered, she was always present with us and within this very stressful process, we felt that she was always there for us ! So big THANKS for that

(2017, International parents) in Hebrew: תהליך הפונדקאות יכול להיות ארוך ומייגע. במישור הרפואי, התהליך מלווה בהמון לחצים ופחדים. להורים המיועדים צצות שאלות כמו: האם הפונדקאית באמת נחמדה וטובה כפי שהיתה בשיחת ההיכרות ? האם סיכויי ההצלחה איתה עולים או יורדים בהתאם לפוריות שלה ובהשוואה לממוצע? האם היא נחשבת לפונדקאית טובה, מעולה או סבירה? האם היא תשמור על עצמה במהלך ההריון ? בהתחלה, היו לא מעט חששות לגבי הפונדקאית לאור מצב רפואי שנתגלה , אך דוקטור נורית ווינקלר ראתה בפונדקאית אישה נפלאה, אחראית, שקטה, נינוחה, משתפת פעולה, בעלת פוטנציאל אדיר להצלחה וממש לא ויתרה לנו וכמעט והתחננה בפנינו שלא נפסיד אותה, גם במחיר של המתנה נוספת לטיפול בבעיה הרפואית שנמצאה. שמענו בקולה של דוקטור נורית ווינקלר ואכן הפונדקאית שלנו היתה מעולה. היא נקלטה להריון בנסיון הראשון בשני תהליכי פונדקאות שעשתה עבורנו, שמרה על ההריון והעובר כאילו היה זה תינוק שלה ולבסוף ילדה לנו בן ובת בריאים בתוך שנה ושבעה חודשים. ד"ר ווינקלר היתה מאוד אינפורמטיבית. היא מאוד מקצועית והסבירה כל שלב בהרחבה בשיחות טלפון ובשיחות ווידאו. העובדה שיכולנו לדבר איתה בעברית הרגיעה אותנו מלבד העובדה שאישיותה משרה שלווה, רוגע ונינוחות. ולבסוף אומר שלא יכולנו לבקש רופאה יותר טובה מד"ר ווינקלר והיא זו שהקלה עלינו בתהליך בפן הרפואי. אנחנו ממליצים בחום ובאהבה

(2016, International parents) We arrived to Dr. Winkler after 3 frustrating attempts in Bangkok, which did not succeed. Dr. Winkler escorted us through the process of choosing an Egg Donor and surrogate. At first we were frustrated again: Dr. Winkler did not approve of the genetic tests of the egg donor nor of the psychological profile of our surrogate. And we wanted so much to have a baby. Quickly. On any step of the way, communication was key. When Dr. Winkler explained her recommendations we immediately felt that we were in good hands and accepted them. This has resulted in two successful pregnancies at the first attempt. And we now embrace are two amazing sons - and have much of it to thank Dr. Winkler for.

(2018, International parents) La dottoressa Wrinkler è sempre stata gentilissima, il fatto che conoscesse l'italiano mi stato molto d'aiuto. Mi sono sempre trovata bene con lei, e ha sempre provveduto a soddisfare le nostre richieste ed esigenze. Sia via Skype sia via telefono. Ha avverato il nostro sogno con questo meraviglioso bambino. Onestà e limpidezza ci hanno sempre accompagnato lungo il percorso. Quando guardo negli occhi del bambino vedo tutta la felicità e la speranza che ci ha a accompagnato in due anni di percorso. Grazie alla clinica e alla dottoressa, ottimo staff.

Very Professional and very human being

We are a German couple and we only can say good things about Dr. Winkler. She is not only a Doctor she is more then this. She is very emphatic, understanding and she always has a answer for your questions so that you always feel more then a patient. We had two cycles there and everything went so great. At the first cycle ( fresh transfer with two embryos) our surrogate became pregnant with one baby and at our second cycle ( frozen with 2 embryos) our surrogate became pregnant with 2 babies. We are so thankful for everything and only can say Dr. Winkler is the best !!! We absolutely recommend her!!
