    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

    My blessings that came from Dr. Vermesh. Thank you!

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

    Where do I even begin! After a terrible experience at…read moreanother 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!

    Please know I am writing this review with a heavy heart…read more This is my first time receiving an IVF treatment. We chose this clinic based on the reviews and had high hopes. Unfortunately, this clinic was disappointing in many ways. Even though Dr. Tolou and her nurses were nice folks I interacted with, there were many negatives I found in my experience. It was definitely an expensive and eye opening experience for a failed IVF treatment plan. Here are some observations I made hoping it will help others before committing treatment at this location: 1. This office provide the bare minimum service despite how much we paid, it truly make me feel like I was just a number to them. When I said bare minimum I mean they don't take initiative of warning you of the worst case scenarios if there are setbacks in your treatment cycle nor offer flexibilities in their IVF package to ensure you receive fair service. An example would be if you choose to not continue with the treatment after the egg retrieval, you will not receive any refund after egg retrieval whether or not you decide to move forward with the implantation. Also, if you paid for the embryo genetic testing, which costs $5000k for 6 embryos, you don't receive any money back if you have 1 embryo. There was no warning or heads-up. If my initial ultra sound shown to have unfavorable low amount of follicles to begin with, I would appreciate it if the doctor had warned me of the worst case scenarios or gave me the option to wait till the next cycle to start the IVF treatment. It really made me feel like they just want my money and did not look out for my well being. It was pretty devasting, I am still feeling traumatized. 2. Their financial/billing personnel was probably the reason why we decide not to continue with further treatment at this clinic. There was no initiative to tell us about prior authorizations before the start of the treatment nor cooperation to assist us getting reimbursement for our medications. After receiving unhelpful and generic responses from their financial coordinator, Nicole, I find her to be a not nice lady to deal with. Honestly, I was beyond mad when I found out I could have paid $50 for a medication instead of $900. I was already dealing with the emotional stresses of going through the treatment and the unfavorable results, I didn't need to deal with her unhelpful attitudes. 3. The team did not provide us with a treatment plan or schedule. Everything felt extremely rushed and we didn't have lots of time to process or think through. An example would be I didn't like that we must pick up the medication on the same day because the injection must be performed at a certain time. It would have been nice if they warned me and my husband about all these processes prior to the start of the treatment. 4. This fertility clinic IVF package is not flexible and rather expensive when there are setbacks. We started the IVF process and never even finished it and it costed over 20k.

    I'm 38 with unexplained infertility and male factor infertility. I started at a local clinic in…read morePortland, Oregon and had a very standard experience: one egg retrieval, generic protocol, and we got 13 mature eggs, 2 blasts, and 0 PGT-A normal embryos. No additional testing or changes were recommended for a second cycle. That's when I started looking out of state and was referred to Dr. Kuo. This review is not just because I'm now pregnant. Even if I wasn't, I would be saying the exact same thing about the level of care I received. Dr. Kuo is the most meticulous and detail-oriented doctor I've ever worked with. Nothing is brushed off, nothing is "good enough," and nothing is done just to move things along. He holds himself to an extremely high standard, and you feel that as a patient in every single decision that's made. It's very clear that he cares deeply about getting it right, not just getting you through a cycle. Before my second retrieval, he did additional testing on my husband that my previous clinic never even mentioned. We found very high sperm DNA fragmentation, which we treated with three months of Chlomid before moving forward. During my retrieval cycle, I was monitored extremely closely and my protocol was adjusted in real time. The difference in results was honestly shocking. We went from 2 blasts and 0 normal embryos to 21 mature eggs, 9 blasts, and 3 PGT-A normal embryos. Before transfer, he also found a uterine polyp that my previous clinic missed, which I had removed. My first transfer cycle was actually canceled due to bleeding and not being an optimal uterine environment. I fully believe many clinics would have just proceeded anyway. Dr. Kuo did not. We adjusted, waited, and did it right. The second transfer was successful. At 8 weeks pregnant, I had a scary bleeding episode, and this is another area where Dr. Kuo stands out. He was in direct communication with me every few hours for days, giving clear instructions and actually monitoring the situation in real time. I never felt like I was on my own. The communication model is unlike anything I've experienced in healthcare. You are in a group text with Dr. Kuo and your coordinator, and you can reach them at any time. That level of access and responsiveness makes an incredibly stressful process feel manageable. The clinic as a whole operates at that same level. Dr. Kuo personally performs every ultrasound and you meet with him at every single appointment. You are seen on time. You are never wondering who you're going to get or waiting weeks for answers. There is a level of consistency and accountability that is very rare in this field. My coordinator Eliana was amazing. So organized, so calm, and completely on top of everything. Blue, Clarissa, and Lizeth were also incredible. They knew my case, they were involved, and they genuinely cared. It never felt like I was just another patient moving through the system. If you feel like something is being missed, if you've had a failed cycle with no real explanation, or if you want a doctor who is actually thinking through your case instead of running a standard protocol, go see Dr. Kuo. Traveling out of state was 100% worth it.

We saw multiple doctors across LA, went through countless tests, and still had no clear answers as to why we couldn't get pregnant. It was one of the most frustrating and lonely experiences we've ever been through. Finding Dr. Kuo was truly the turning point for us, and without a doubt, the best decision we made. From day one, his entire team made us feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Everyone in the office is so warm and kind. Eliana was always there for me, whether it was answering questions, offering reassurance, or just being a steady support throughout the process. What really stood out to me was how much they respected our time and emotions. I never had to wait more than a few minutes for appointments, and every visit felt intentional and personal. Dr. Kuo walked with us through every single step of the IVF journey. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also deeply compassionate. He answered my texts even after hours and on weekends, which meant so much during moments of anxiety and uncertainty. We never felt alone in this process. There aren't enough words to fully express how grateful we are for him and his team. If you're feeling burnt out, discouraged, or losing hope trying to find the right doctor, please don't give up. I know how hard it is. But finding the right team can change everything.

I am having my FIRST baby and he made me feel so anxious and worried rather than reassure me that we can get through this. He basically implied that I will have pre-eclampsia, and gestational diabetes. When I asked why he said that IVF was "unnatural" and "overweight" and "age". While I understand that all of these things may be true there is a better way to approach these things. The doctor also said "open wide" like my vagina was my mouth. It was just unnerving. If this appointment was my first time seeing my baby I would have been SO disappointed because the ultrasound images were HORRIBLE. They don't even LOOK like a baby. Luckily, I had amazing photos from the IVF doctor. It was also not just the doctor, but the intake person also asked me about a procedure I had and I couldn't recall the name of it but was saying it was called...hystero-something and she asked if I had a hysterectomy...I looked at her and said "well, I'm pregnant, so it's not that." I also asked if they had worked with any Doulas they had no clue what I was asking. It was just overall very disappointing and I will not be going back.
