(I’m a healthy 38 year old and my had a natural pregnancy and birth 8 years ago.) I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We were so lucky to have no complications or delays with our IVF process and received THE BEST care you can ask for from the incredible Dr Polanski and his amazing team. -Start of treatment/ follicle stimulation 9/28/24 -10 Eggs retrieved 11/6/24 (all 10 fertilized, 3 were healthy enough to freeze) -1st Embryo transfer was a success 1/17/25 -Positive Pregnancy test 1/27/25 -Heart beat ultrasound 2/11/25

After researching many IVF clinics, I came across Bay IVF. I chose this clinic based on Dr. Polansky's experience (35+ years) and many positive reviews. It was the best decision of my life. From the moment we had our first consultation with Dr. Polansky, we knew we were in good hands with Bay IVF. Dr. Polansky is incredibly knowledgeable and it shows. Dr. Polansky and his team are caring, kind, helpful, compassionate, and go above and beyond. From start to finish, everything went smoothly. Communication was always excellent with quick responses. Scheduling appointments was easy and I would always be seen earlier than my appointment time. My partner and I were very comfortable from the very beginning. I am forever grateful to Dr. Polansky and his team for being a part of our journey to starting a family. I am currently 12 weeks and 2 days and today, I graduated from the clinic. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Polansky and his team (nurses: Alex and Minerva. Front desk: Erica and Nisha, and the amazing embryologists) at Bay IVF for bringing me to this moment. I would recommend this clinic in a heartbeat and over and over again. Here is a glimpse of how our treatment went: January 2024- Initial appointment February- March 2024- Ovarian stimulation March 2024-Egg retrieval (10 retrieved, 7 fertilized, 6 blastocyst , 4 embryos) May 2024- Frozen embryo transfer June 2024- 4 week heartbeat ultrasound We did choose to do PGT and we decided to go with the IVF Duo plan, our first transfer was successful.

I was super grateful to find this place and probably introduced to 20+ my friends. The doctor Polanksy has super professional skills and a lot of experience to face different cases. English is my second language, so I had too many vocabulary didn’t understand. Megan and Erica were very patience to answer each of my questions. 😂So the whole process was smooth. I really really appreciated this clinic did everything to me. I have my dragon twin boys 12 weeks now. When I saw them in the ultrasound, they were so active. 🥰🥰 lovely. I will keep updates with the clinic and come back for my second twin girls. 👧🏻👧🏻. Wait me.

From our first consultation we knew this is where we wanted to go for IVF. Dr. Polansky and his team provide you with all of the information you need in making a decision about going through with IVF. My wife and I felt an instant connection with the whole Bay IVF team and knew they would take care of us through our fertility journey. The entire Bay IVF team welcomes you, works with you, and truly cares about your out come. Dr. Polanksy and his team are always there for you when you have questions or concerns and provide you with honest feedback. My wife and I truly thank Bay IVF for our successful outcome and were sad to leave. Bay IVF makes you feel special!

Five stars is not enough for the amazing Bay IVF team! Words could never express the gratitude my husband and I will always have for Bay IVF! We were initially planning treatment through Stanford, but didn't feel comfortable there. That's when we did our research and decided to check out Bay IVF. We scheduled a consultation and felt an instant connection... love at first sight! Dr. Polansky is FANTASTIC and has been performing IVF treatment for a very long time. And you can tell he really loves what he does! He is also very honest, which is very much appreciated. But it's not just Dr. Polansky that takes great care of you; his entire team is absolutely amazing. They're knowledgable, efficient, patient (I had a lot of questions every time I went in!), warm, and they always make sure you're comfortable at all times. I'm so happy to say we are expecting our firstborn early next year after a successful treatment!! I cannot thank Dr. Polansky and his amazing team enough!
