San Diego or Arizona IVF Doctors??

Does anyone have any experience with an IVF facility in San Diego or in the state of Arizona? We are looking into the different places. There are a lot to choose from.
Any insight and info would be great. Who to use and who not to use!!
Thanks,
Sarah

I had good luck with Dr. Patel in AZ. Haven't used anyone in San Diego. I had back luck with Dr. Troche in AZ... but I don't really blame him. We just didn't "click".

Thats funny, I actually spoke with Dr Troche's clinic yesterday and kinda got a weird but helpful vibe from them. I was not too sure what to think.
How was Dr. Patel? How long was your process? Reasonable fees? Any one else you considered?

I am currently going to Dr. Craig in Tempe, AZ. He was recommended to me by multiple Doctors I know(who some of them were his patient). So far he has been great and the staff is awesome!

Yes, we also did a consult with Dr. Fisch at SIRM in Vegas. BAD BAD experience there.

Dr. Patel is the best doctor of any specialty I have ever seen. He spent as much time as we needed answering questions, drawing diagrams, and talking with us with no hurry-vibe.

He also experienced infertility himself and had his own children through IVF.

As far as fees, they seem about the same. FETs seem a little more expensive than elsewhere.

If you would like an easy way to compare IVF success rates based on live birth rate please see the following site:

Data is available for other states and age groups and is based on the 2007 SART statistics. I hope this is helpful.

I have to second FTC/Craig and especially the staff. Daina, the IVF coordinator, is an amazing woman and patient advocate. I think I stay there more for her than for any other reason - she's awesome!
