My wife and I couldnt be happier with the quality of care of Dr. Werlin and his staff. Suffice it to say there is a difference between their facility and others. To make a very long story somewhat shorter, my wife and I attempted our first round of IVF with another medical center, and while the process was much the same, the quality of care was not something we felt comfortable with. The first attempt failed, and we were so discouraged that we took time away to decide if starting a family was something we were adamant about pursuing. When we were ready to try again, much more research on the internet led my wife to suggest Coastal Fertility Medical Center, and their free open house seminar to see what they were about. From our first seminar visit, and our subsequent consultation with Dr. Werlin, we could tell there was something different about him and his team. They showed a warmth and compassion that had been lacking with our previous medical experience. We chose to move forward with another attempt, and were pleased to discover that while Dr. Werlin had moved to a brand new facility in Irvine, their costs for our needed procedures were the same as what we had previously paid. The vast majority of the services that a patient needs are offered in house, from labs to ultrasounds, and other types of testing as well. This speeds up the process and makes needed visits more productive and valuable. Office hours start at 6:30am, which was huge for two working prospective parents; they are open 7 days a week and holidays too. Ill be honest, at first I was skeptical that something that sounded too good to be true, was. Its rare in the world when you can find someone who is as good as their word, but Dr. Werlin is. He said he would be the one performing the ultrasounds; he was. He said he would be the one calling us with the results of my wifes blood tests; he did. During one surgical procedure, he was in the pre-op room describing to my wife what was going to happen during the procedure, took her into the procedure, performed the procedure himself, brought her out into post-op, checked in on her multiple times prior to her being discharged, and even put her in a wheelchair and pushed her to our car himself when she was ready to go home. The way he treated both my wife and myself with courtesy, respect, care, honesty, and did all of it with an upbeat positive manner (even at 6:30am, no easy feat) blew me away. His unique, personal practice has been a refreshing change from everything else we had been used to. It was the 2nd most important thing about our experience with Dr.Werlin; the 1st being the day he called to tell us that we were going to have the family we had wanted for a long time. I cant recommend him and his staff highly enough. If you want more information on what your options are or are already considering IVF, go see them. No one is promised anything; nor were we. But even if we hadnt been successful, I can tell you that I know that all of the people at Coastal did everything in their power to make us so.

Dr. Werlin and his team are top notch and I would highly recommend them to anyone suffering from infertility! My husband and I started the IVF process in 2010 and were so fortunate to get a healthy baby on the first try. When we went back in 2012 for a sibling, things didnt go as smoothly. We suffered 2 devastating miscarriages. And thats when Dr. Werlin and his team truly stepped up their game. They were there to give us a hug or encouragement when needed, but also space to accept our losses. I wondered if I would ever have another healthy baby and couldn’t believe Dr. Werlin would be able to get me pregnant 4 times in a row, but low and behold he did! We are currently expecting a sibling for our son and couldn’t be more excited. The IVF process has had its ups and downs, but Dr. Werlin and his team have been our constant. In fact, when raving about Dr. Werlin and his team to friends, family and others suffering from infertility, I often hear, "[t]hey better be nice for how much you pay." But the truth of the matter is IVF is expensive no matter how you slice it and I can tell you that not all infertility specialists are created equally. I have spoken to several people going through the IVF process and belonged to several infertility forums during my 3.5 years of IVF and I can tell you that Coastal Fertility is unique in its approach. Not only do you have a personal relationship with Dr. Werlin and your nurses, but Dr. Werlin handles all of the appointments no matter how big or small, calls you personally with all of your test results including simple blood work, and sees you every single week for an ultrasound after you get pregnant through the first trimester. It’s this type of top notch care mixed with caring and respect that has earned Dr. Werlin an amazing reputation. I would not hesitate to refer Dr. Werlin and his team. Infertility is challenging enough, why not choose a doctor who has a unique gift of being incredibly talented with an amazing bedside manner? To all of you suffering from infertility, I wish you nothing but the best. Good luck!

Wow. I cant even begin to describe this place. The entire staff here works daily to help create families and forever love! From the moment you walk into Coastal Fertility Center you feel a warm welcome. The walls are decorated with what seems to be thousands of photos of families that were helped and adorable baby faces that were all because of this facility. The first time I walked in, I was overwhelmed with joy and love seeing so many smiles that I was brought to tears. My entire life Ive been dedicated to helping people. I donate blood, platelets, time, and am a registered bone marrow donor. Even with all this, Ive always had the need to do more. I did my research on coastal fertility center and was comforted by the amount of happy donors I found. (To think I could be apart of helping make a family for people that have waited so long to have one) The entire donation process was so easy! They help you with everything from day one and always answer any question no matter how small or dumb it may seem. My personal nurse was Anne Chun. She never once made me feel worried or concerned about what was to come. I was so thankful for how kind and helpful everyone was, I treated them all to donuts hehe. (Thats how you know I like you, I buy you food) I would highly recommend Coastal Fertility Center both for donating yourself and for help making family!

We were treated by another fertility doctor prior to Dr. Werlin, for about a year. After I shared about my experiences with a friend, she recommended that I make a visit to see Dr. Werlin. We switched over to him and never looked back... What I was looking for in a doctor was competence and care. What we got were both of those qualities in spades. Dr. Werlin is a character, full of energy and humor. However, he has an amazing ability to know when what is needed is sensitivity, comfort with silence, and tenderness... Without wanting to share our familys medical specifics on the internet for anyone to see, lets just leave it at we have been successfully treated by Dr. Werlin and have been able to grow our family because of his expertise. The team at Coastal Fertility is incredible, from the administrative group, to the medical professionals, to the embryologists. I truly believe they have shared in our sorrows and celebrated our joys all along the way. I will forever be grateful to Coastal Fertility for helping us expand our family and being a part of our journey to parenthood.
