Where do I even begin! After a terrible experience at another LA clinic with a negligent provider who ran a very aggressive stimulation protocol without checking any of my hormones -- which resulted in a poor outcome and no embryos -- I met with Dr. Vermesh in April 2025. From our very first consultation, he didn't overpromise, but his calm, optimistic demeanor immediately made me feel I was finally in good hands. We proceeded with a gentle, carefully monitored protocol. He checked my hormones continuously and adjusted my medication doses based on the results. Because of that individualized care, I had an ideal outcome for my age (39). Our first transfer worked, and I am now 11 weeks pregnant with a healthy, growing baby. Dr. Vermesh also recommended intralipids to help maximize my implantation chances. His care has been exceptional -- always kind, reassuring, and thorough. The entire team is wonderful, and I want to give a special thank-you to Juliana, who always replied to emails promptly and kept me updated on every single lab result. May God bless Dr. Vermesh and his team for all they do! read more

Michael Vermesh, MD - Embryo - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Tarzana, California

My experience with Dr. Vermesh and his clinic was deeply disappointing and, frankly, unacceptable--especially for something as serious and emotional as IVF. From the very beginning, it felt like neither Dr. Vermesh nor his staff had a clear understanding of my case. At multiple appointments, I was asked to re-explain why I was there, and comments were made that were completely irrelevant to my situation. While I understand that doctors see many patients, I expect at a minimum that my chart would be reviewed before each visit. That basic level of care and professionalism was consistently lacking. I chose this clinic based on a recommendation from a friend who had undergone IUI here. However, IVF is a far more complex process, and the level of care I received did not reflect that. While their pricing may initially seem more affordable, you ultimately pay for it in the quality of treatment, communication, and overall experience. Throughout the entire process, communication was extremely poor. I had little to no direct support from Dr. Vermesh, and the staff was unhelpful, rude, and often dismissive. There was no sense of compassion or attentiveness during what is already an incredibly stressful and emotional journey. Medically, my case was handled in a way that I--and other doctors I've since consulted--find very concerning. I was initially told I had 14 follicles, but 19 were discovered during the procedure. Despite this, I ended up with only one viable embryo, and my recovery from the retrieval was debilitating, something I wasn't prepared for in the slightest. Based on my profile, this entire outcome was highly unexpected. It felt like my cycle was not properly optimized, and the guidance I received along the way was flawed. Only after my retrieval I was told about a two-cycle package option that would have been more cost-effective--something that was never offered to me beforehand. When I asked him to honor the price, while he recognized that he made a mistake in my retrieval, they still refused to honor the fair price. This felt incredibly misleading, greedy, and opportunistic. To make matters worse, my one viable embryo resulted in an unsuccessful transfer and after being broken the news by some nobody in his office who can't answer a single question, I was then told the next time the doctor could speak to me was 6 days later. He couldn't even be bothered to pick up the phone and call me after all that I had just been through, all the money I had spent with him, and all the pain I was feeling. When I asked why, they said it's because "he likes to carve out 30-45 minutes to speak to his patients". BS!!!! In my entire experience with him of 6 months, if you added up all the minutes I've had in direct communication with this doctor, both in person and on the phone, you wouldn't be at total of 45 minutes. On top of everything, the clinic environment itself felt unclean, and the staff was often rude and lacking empathy. You guys clearly have no clue what field you are in or how delicate these matters are for women trying to get pregnant. I felt so unimportant to Dr. Vermesh from the start and I believe my results were a direct reflection of his lack of care. I left this clinic feeling misled, unsupported, and taken advantage of. Even if offered another round for free, I would not return. I would strongly caution anyone considering IVF here to explore other options where patient care, accountability, communication, transparency, and results are taken seriously. read more

In his early days of practicing he knew I had a condition of horizontal scarring of the uterus in which one can get pregnant but after 4 months the patient miscarries. I found this out when I left him and needed a hysterectomy years later and went to Cedars Sinai. When the doctor at Cedars saw that my husband and I had tears along with the doctor at Cedars. So sad he would do this to a patient that really tried hard to have an additional child. read more

If you are looking for a good fertility DR. Who has a lot of experience listens to you and is compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Vermesh. He will find the problem and will fix it so you become successful on your IVF journey. Highly recommended read more

Thanks to him, my son exists. Let's start there. From the moment I entered the office, Dr. Vermesh and his staff have been nothing but professional, thoughtful and accommodating. His bedside manner is the best I've ever come across and he has one of the highest success rates as far as fertility clinics go. I felt like I couldn't have been in better hands with him and I know countless others feel the same. read more

Friendly greeters outside and in facility; helpful and professional CT imaging technicians and staff. Pleasant and calm atrium.

We went to see Dr. Vermesh after 2 failed IUI attempts at another clinic. We immediately felt at ease with him and we loved that he told us that he was in control so we could let go a bit. He was realistic about results and the finance team was upfront about all costs. One of the things we liked best was that he and typically the same nurse performed each and every ultrasound so he really got to know me and my case and the care felt personalized. The other clinic I went to felt like a fertility factory where I met with a different team each time I was seen. Also, he will try every treatment and protocol available to him to try for successful results. I am thrilled to announce we just welcomed our baby boy into the world after one successful IVF cycle. Thank you Dr. Vermesh! read more

This is a response to the negative reviews of Dr V. As one of his patients. Is IVF expensive? Hell yes. Is success guaranteed, no! All you have to do is google IFV info and you will see the stats about odds, average costs and ANYTHING you could possibly want to know. And you should absolutely do this research before you place ANY physician in charge of your care. That being said, I don't know where else people have gone or what they expect from doctors, but this man is honestly a wonderful human being who has obviously dedicated his life to advancing and practicing this science. My wife had been treated horribly by another physician, and through great luck we were referred to Vermesh through a natural medicine practitioner. Every single experience with him has been wonderful, supportive and positive. I trust him implicitly with my wife's care, which as any papa bear will know, is more important than my own. I can fully empathize with those who have trauma related to failure, but one must understand that this is a scientific undertaking, and there is no magic potion. I want to thank Zena and all the support staff for their kind attention to my wife. read more

I had a great experience with Dr.Vermesh he is kind, knowledgeable and honest. The nurses and staff members are very friendly and always there when you have any questions or concerns. If you look at the ART cycles online Dr. Vermesh is by far the best!! I would recommend Dr. Vermesh for your fertility needs! read more

You will not find a more capable doctor than Dr. Vermesh. I've been to several and the experience has been a world of difference. Not only because of the two successful pregnancies I have had under his care (twins and a singleton), but more so the gentle confidence he exudes with his expertise. He never fails to put me at ease with every visit. He has an innately calming demeanor and very good bedside manner. I am always happy to see him for my appointments. I have felt very safe and reassured with both my pregnancies. The nurses are equally kind and caring and very responsive with communication. The rest of the office staff have been so warm during my visits. His staff at his lab is no different. I can say confidently that the whole team is reflective of a practice that delivers high-quality, patient-centered care! With God's blessing and the help of Dr. Vermesh and his team, I am now experiencing the joy of motherhood and happily anticipate my 3rd baby in a few months. Continue the great work of bringing hope and happiness to countless families! -Kristine read more

See all

Stay away at all costs. Required nearly 15k be paid immediately via wire transfer. No return calls. Unprofessional all the way around.

My husband and I struggled with infertility for five years prior to seeing Dr Vermesh. We went to UCLA and after several attempts, a friend recommended Dr Vermesh as she was successful in conceiving her child. Dr Vermesh is not only knowledgeable but has great bed side manner and his demeanor is comforting. We were able to quadruple our embryo count and are now blessed with twins. Thank you so much Dr Vermesh, Tiffany, and the front desk ladies. You guys made our IVF journey a breeze. I continue to recommend friends and any woman struggling with infertility. read more

Updating to add that we are beyond thrilled and grateful to be pregnant after one round of IVF with Dr. Vermesh and his team. Choosing Dr. Vermesh was the best decision we could have made and his experience and knowledge is unparalleled. read more

I had very severe stage 4 endometriosis and was in desperate need of help when I was left with 1 ovary and 1 fallopian tube (on the opposite side) in a matter of 2 years I was getting surgery every 5 months and my doctor could only spare so much of my reproductive organs.. through yelp i found Dr. Vermesh and couldn't be happier with my decision. He was very understanding and so kind. The whole ivf process was very fast and also a success! We ended up being blessed with not just 1 baby but with beautiful triplet girls. He was an amazing doctor my husband and i are so thankful for him and his staff. It was a pleasant experience and now we are expecting another baby.. a little boy! This pregnancy was all natural by the way. Thank you doctor for making my dream of a family come true. read more

Michael Vermesh, MD - My blessings that came from Dr. Vermesh. Thank you! - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Tarzana, California

Is a great doctor we had one daughter from this clinic. Working on second time. Hope everything works out good.

I wish i could give 10 stars and not just 5 , we got to Dr Vermesh after so many referral's and this was the best decision we could ask for our family . Dr Vermesh was so knowledge and finally after seeing 2 different doctors , Dr Vermesh was the only one that wanted to find what was our problem so he can help and only then start a treatment that will fit our needs . I cant thank Dr vermesh and his nurses and office staff enough , So professional , kind and on top of every little detail along the way . Other then AMAZING doctor , he is a humble person , "old school" doctor that actually care about his patients (even if its weekends and after hours he will take the time ) Made me and my husband feel so comfortable with our process and our miracle pregnancy , we just cannot thank him enough , definitely our "magician" . I would highly recommend DR Vermesh to anyone !!!!!!!! Thank you read more

Dr. Vermesh can get your menopausal grandma pregnant. He's an out-of-the-box thinker and gets great results because of it. I have a 12-year-old son that I cherish every single day that is here because of Dr. V's dedication and know-how. Expensive? Hell yeah, but that's the world of IVF. He takes on difficult cases, and comes up with solutions that others don't bother to try. If you're struggling elsewhere and you're looking for a more tailored approach he is the man. We are grateful to him every day. read more

I wouldn't give him any stars. I can't even fit all my bad experiences with him on one page. I could've sued him but he got another doctor, his buddy to cover up his gross error that almost cost me my life. read more

Was expensive and never helped me with my issue. They always collect payment at the time of service. Double billed me saying that I didn't pay at the time of service. I did. His staff wouldn't prove that I owed the money, but they sent me to collections. Thanks for that greedy doctor. After one spends so much money with a doctor, how does he explain this kind of unfeeling money grubbing behavior? read more

Dr. Vermesh is the best doctor. Compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable. Office and staff are very very helpful. They know exactly what you need. They really take good care of their patients. Highly recommended! read more

All the bad reviews people might find here should be analyzed a little beyond what meets the eye. Most people who leave negative (even ludicrous 1 star) reviews never bothered to do their home work and came absolutely unprepared waiting for a miracle to happen. Miracles don't happen. My wife and I had our first cycle failed with Dr. Vermesh, but how can you blame it on your doctor if there's a million factors involved and your doctor is on the bottom of the list. It's sad, no doubt. But we sat down with Dr. Vermesh and created a strategy for our second attempt and now my wife is 12 weeks. It took enormous amount of nerve, self-education and office calls to make it happen, but one has to always remember - your doctor is a tool, while your brain and your body is what makes it happen. Dr. Vermesh is amazing on both professional and personal levels. He made us multiple discounts to ease financial side of things and not even once did we feel uncomfortable or uneasy. Everything was top class. Highly recommended. read more

I cant not thank Dr. Vermesh and his staff enough!!!! I just gave birth to beautiful and healthy twins. Boy and Girl. The first time I stepped into his office, Dr. Vermesh said to me, as I was wearing my gym clothes. "I see you like the color pink, but this is not a Rosie process". Sure enough he was right. Yes, it was a difficult route, but Dr. Vermesh and his staff made sure that they where positively with me every step of way, even when we needed to change routes, procedures and plans. I had a failed IVF, but Dr. Vermesh gave me the hope to try again and not to give up. I am so thankful that I listened to him and sure enough I went back for round 2 with no hope. 2 weeks later... my 2 little miracles where right in front of my eyes. Healthy heart beats on the ultrasound screen. I did interview other Dr.'s and spent lots of money on other consultations. Deep down in my heart I knew Dr. Vermesh was the one who was going to help me make my family grow. I am so happy I went with my intuition, because he and his amazing team proved me RIGHT!!! I would HIGHLY recomend Dr. Vermesh. as I know so many others who have had success. I wouldn't have it any other way!!! read more

I'll cut to the chase: we're having a boy - but that's not why I'm writing a great review for Dr. Vermesh and his team (well, at least not the ONLY reason). We came to Dr. Vermesh because every one of our friends who went to him - even after giving up with other doctors - emerged with at a kid (or two), but we very quickly grew to value him for his level of CARE as much as his knack for fostering productive results. This business of making babies after 40 is complicated stuff - complicated intellectually, emotionally, and physically. It helps to have a physician at the helm who is a master of more than just that last part. Dr. Vermesh transformed a very stressful endeavor into something approachable and understandable. He made the whole situation something to be optimistic about without making any pretense about the reality of our chances (which were absolutely NOT awesome). And while my wife had more occasions to interact with the staff, every person i encountered on each of my visits made me feel welcome, unhurried, and respected. Just a great bunch of folks. One other thing: I needed a procedure as part of this, and Dr. Vermesh gave me an outstanding referral. We count ourselves fortunate - not just for our pregnancy but for having someone like Dr. Vermesh to lead the way. Thank you team Vermesh! read more

The best doctor and clinic in California. Me and my wife tried to get pregnant and we was trying all kinds of things that just took a lot of money from our pocket. Dr Vermohs is the best don't spend your money for nothing, if you want to get pregnant go to him. I personally referral two people to is clinic and two of them got pregnant this place is blessed Today our baby's three months we got pregnant on the 3 ivf Don't give up go to doctor Vermohs he will help you to get pregnant.

Where do we begin to tell our story... First of all, I started with Dr. Vermesh in my early thirties, after doctors in my area were not able to see a reason why I experience daily bleeding for a year! Dr. Vermesh found the problem immediately-I had a bleeding polyp that was needing immediate removal. After that we followed with a procedure that helped to unblock my fallopian tubes, which I didn't even realize were blocked! At that period of my life, I wasn't exactly looking to start a family, but it was very good to know that my possible infertility issues were addressed and corrected! Seven years passed and I found myself now being thirty-nine years old, childless, and going trough divorce. At this point, I was ready to, at least freeze my eggs, knowing my facts what happens to "maturing" women's fertility. The eggs were frozen, and three years later, my now fiancé and I came back to Dr. Vermesh to try our very first IVF cycle. We were recommended to add a fresh cycle to the existing one. Dr. Vermesh explained in detail, using statistics and his extensive knowledge on the subject all the pros and cons of what to expect. Our chances of conceiving sounded pretty slim, considering I started at thirty-nine, and my fiancé was at this point 50yrs old. We took a risk and went with it anyways. We remained hopeful, but realistic that anything could happen, and that all the science, medicine, expertise, genetics, age, fertility-is just a drop in the ocean of this process, but ultimately, it is our Creator, who ultimately will decide our future destiny! It failed... But we didn't give up. We told ourselves; One last try. Truthfully, I no longer believed it would ever happen-too many odds worked against us. But my fiancé wasn't ready to give up! We Came back when I was forty-three, with the hope the size of a sesame seed. This time around Dr. Vermesh hand-tailored his approach to suit our very "special" case. He upped our dose of meds. He allowed extra days for my eggs to mature, (in my individual case), and he decided to use intralipid drip to ensure the implanted embryo stays... Now its time for me to get teary-eyed, and I can't tell you what obstacles we overcame with our pregnancy-last nine months have been the hardest, most challenging, hi/risk pregnancy, not to mention pain, pressure, and constant, daily fear of loosing the child! Ten days ago, we welcomed a beautiful, tender, sweet, very long-awaited baby girl Karina. Our little miracle! As I am writing this very long review, she is sleeping peacefully on my lap, and I am overwhelmed with happiness and love, feeling her little heart beat next to mine!!! In this review we would like to acknowledge Dr. Vermesh's undeniable dedication to our case, the sacrifices he made for us, coming in on his days off, Sundays, as early in a morning, as we needed to, making us feel as we were the only ones who mattered, taking every possible precaution to ensure this child made it into this world! We would also acknowledge Dr. Jovanovich, who stepped in when D. Vermesh was out of the office, and also dedicated staff-all the ladies who work form Dr. Vermesh were professional and accommodating-giving us last minute emergency appointments, putting our minds at ease when crucial dramatic events with our pregnancy were going terribly wrong! PS: My fiancée told me I was writing too long, but as a woman I wanted to explain our story and the complexity of our process. God bless you, Dr. Vermesh! read more

Dr. VERMESH has been a GREAT doctor!!! Great personality and very professional. He made me feel comfortable during a time that was pretty scary for us. I am 6 months pregnant with our miracle Baby Boy! First IVF failed but doctor VERMESH found the problem because Of his high knowledge and care! I cannot thank him enough for making our dream come true. Also BIG thanks to Dr. JOVANOVICH, another great doctor with high knowledge and care who was there for me when Dr. VERMESH was out of town. His team are simply the BEST!!! I will highly recommend Dr. VERMESH, his stuff and clinic to my friends and family!!! read more

Wow how can begin to explain what an AMAZING doctor Michael Vermesh is?!? I got to him after 3 years of trying to conceive with 3 failed IUI's, Million tests and lots of fear!! And i thank god everyday for getting to his office! He is just an angel you have to get to know him to understand!! And his staff, allllll the girls there are AMAZING especially Zenia, she was always always there for me and till today (4.5 months Preg :) they made this process so EASY for me.. I was sooo scared of IVF, hormones, Anastasia but they are soooooo professional, they where there to calm me down through all the stages and made sure I will become a mom!! I was actually coming to Doctor Vermesh from a dif fertility doctor and this kind of TLC doesn't exist anywhere else! The absolute best thing I ever did! I really really recommend him with LOVE!! this is such a hard journey you want to make sure you are going with the right Doctor, he has years and years of experience and he takes each and every case to the heart and does everything he can to bring you closer to becoming parents! read more

Great caring doctor Takes time and explains in details about problems and solutions Highly recommend read more

Awful experience and poor customer service. Before my initial visit, office made such a big deal about my insurance and stated I would have to pay cash and they would provide me with superbill to bill insurance. That did not happen! I paid deposit and went in for initial visit. They were not helpful at all. I had to request Dr. Vermesh to perform ultrasound. We had not even been trying for a year and he basically pushed IVF without even scanning me or knowing my full background. read more

Dr Vermesh and his team are super nice and knowledgeable. they also always answer every quesetion you have and are on top of every prescription. I usually have problems with details like that in medical care but they have yet to fail on any of the details so i'm super grateful I don't have to make 15 phone calls to get my prescription filled like my ahem, GP. He is very knowledgeable and caring. I really like him. We're at the beginning of our fertility treatments, but I definitely trust his opinions on things already. Thanks doc! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Vermesh and his amazing staff! Everyone is so supportive, patient, and kind, and Dr. Vermesh makes you feel very comfortable during every visit. My only disappointment is that I couldn't continue seeing Dr. Vermesh throughout the rest of my pregnancy. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Vermesh helped my family achieve our dreams. His knowledge is matched by his compassion.

If I could give this place no stars then I would because we ain't got no baby. Came in three times and two IUI's and nothing. Mind you we were paying full out of pocket fees for all checkups and procedures. Each time we came in for IUI's the doctor seemed to indicate that ovulation had passed but even then, they went on with the procedure as if it was going to work. I feel like we had been robbed due to still paying for the procedures knowing it was unlikely to work. I would definitely look elsewhere for this type of procedure. We were just some middle classed folks looking to start a family and now a chunk of our savings are gone. To top it off, they never even gave us a follow up call to check if it was successful. I guess it's all about the money here and not patient care. read more

sorry to say but very poor bedside manner and does not seem genuine. He was a real turn off when I consulted with him when my sister was trying to get pregnant. The office manager is a bxxxxx. read more

After spending 2000$for injections and 2000$for ultrasounds and office visit dr vermesh couldn't determine if it's the right time to do ivf .my money was gone .he is an evil who lies and just care about money,and how he can make u pay the most money. Unprofessional,and worst team.they collect payment without any positive result.evil,lier team.i should never trust this evil doctor. read more

Dr. Vermesh is an amazing doctor. We had a wonderful experience. The office staffs and nurses are nice and professional. We highly recommend Dr. Vermesh for all your IVF needs. read more

INFINITE stars!!! Five stars are just not enough for Dr. Vermesh. After at least 6 different doctors, 3 failed IVFs and 3 failed IUIs, we decided it was time to see Dr. Vermesh after hearing so much about him from different people. He was the only doctor that didn't think my age was an issue at 41. With the first IVF attempt under Dr. Vermesh's care we had success. We were finally blessed with our little baby. I view Dr. Vermesh as the Lord's fertility angel. The experience we had with Dr. Vermesh was so different than with other clinics. Dr. Vermesh knew the right amount of meds to give me and the right timing that was specific for me, he was caring, he took time to speak with us at our appointments and on the telephone, and was with us every step of the way. At other clinics we felt like we were in a factory line, but with Dr. Vermesh, it was personal; he truly cared for us and wanted our success. Dr. Vermesh is AMAZING!!! His staff was great. Zenia is the best nurse I have ever worked with! She made Dr. Vermesh's plans go smoothly and made it all work with my work schedule. She always answered my questions via phone and email and was so informative. We also saw Dr. Talou for a couple of ultrasounds during the pregnancy follow up visits and she was very sweet and professional. The front staff girls were great and helped accommodate us for appointments and getting in touch with Zenia or Dr. Vermesh. Also, the financial coordinator we worked with, Connie, was so professional and kind-- she never made us feel like we were just another opportunity to make money. I don't typically write reviews but I want to try to help those who were once in my shoes. Sometimes the first or second attempt might fail, but you can't give up-- the trick is finding the right doctor who understands your labs and has the right balance of medication and timing that's specific for you. I thank Gd for putting Dr. Vermesh in our path and I sincerely hope that who ever is looking to have a baby is blessed with as many healthy babies as they desire. Good luck to you! read more

My name is Anat Daniel, I am 47 years old and Dr Michael Vermesh is the reason why I was able to give birth to my beautiful daughter 6 months ago. Dr Vermesh also helped my sister over 10 years ago and she was blessed with twins. Dr Vermesh is nothing shy of amazing. He made my dreams come true as well as many others. I recommend him to the fullest. He is the best. read more

Dr. Vermesh DEFINITELY knows what he is doing. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I know many children that he has helped produce into this world, including my own. I wouldn't trust anyone else with regard to fertility. He's a guru! read more

Simply put: Dr. Vermesh is the best. No question. From the moment we sat down with him we felt instantly at ease and knew we had the best doctor to take us through the IVF process. My wife and I had spent 2 years with other doctors feeling very confused and felt we were handled very impersonally. Dr. Vermesh is exceptionally intelligent and at the forefront of medicine as it relates to fertility. In addition, his bed side manner is impeccable. He's warm, sensitive, and his communication is impeccable. Dr. Vermesh handles every single visit personally and does all the procedures himself which is so helpful and builds trust. Also, our nurse was so sweet and handled us with grace and strength. We felt guided, informed, and taken care of every step of the way. Thankfully, we were successful, and are expecting our first child. We know we were given the best chances for success with Dr. Vermesh. If you are seeking help in fertility, look no further. We wish anyone reading this all the best in your journey to become parents. We know the struggles you will or have faced. Have faith:) With Love, M&M read more
