Southwest Fertility Center

One year ago today I started with Southwest fertility, and I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant with a perfect baby girl! I had the best experience with everyone Southwest! We traveled a minimum of 3 hours one way for each appointment because there’s no fertility clinic in our local town and it was beyond worth it. The staff was very accommodating knowing we were traveling. I did 2 failed IUIs because I personally wasn’t ready to make the jump to IVF, but when we did I truly could not have been in better hands. Every step was explained clear and in addition to this baby we have 2 more frozen PGTA normal embryos. As someone who had low AMH, this is huge to have gotten 3 and I truly credit it all to Dr. Vinay and his staff. We frequently visited the Glendale office and can’t say enough amazing things about the girls there. Shelly, we love you. I also had a very involved husband who felt like all of his questions were answered and he was also kept in the loop. We actually begged to stay at the clinic longer once we were pregnant and they kept us as long as possible. I can not recommend them enough! They are truly family now and we miss them dearly but look forward to coming back for #2!

This review was a long time in the making. As a gay couple, my husband and I wanted to find a fertility center that not only provided the science needed for us to have a child but also the understanding and compassion we were looking for. The IVF process can be a long, tedious period in a couples life that has its fair share of ups and downs. Southwest Fertility center was amazing from the start. As a gay couple in a conservative state we were nervous if we would ever find a place open and receptive to our journey in becoming dads. We were welcomed with open arms, no literally lots of hugs going around. Once we had found our surrogate southwest fertility provided us with a list of egg donors in their network as well as an outside network we could choose from. After deciding on our egg donor we were off to the races. Our first transfer was a success and here we are with a 3 week old healthy baby girl. Our dream is now a reality and we have Southwest fertility center to thank for making the process not only a success but a true joy! A VERY special thanks to both Dr. Vinnay as well as Janet, this process wouldn’t have been the same with out your knowledge, compassion, humor and just love for what you do! There aren’t enough words to describe the appreciation we have for what you have done for us.

Everyone at Southwest Fertility Center was awesome to work with. We are a gay couple that had our baby through surrogacy and we felt extremely welcomed throughout the process. Dr. Vinay Gunnala was tremendously caring and informative, as was Janet in billing. Thanks to their team, we were able to achieve our dream of becoming dad & daddy to a beautiful little girl. THANK YOU!

We love these people! When other doctors told us we would never become parents, SW Fertility gave us the gift of embryo adoption. We are now 10 weeks pregnant with our first child. Throughout this journey they have been supportive, easy to reach, and very happy for us. We will be back to do this with another of our frozen embryos. Dr. Gunnala, Tara, Shelley, Janet, Norma, Fran and all the others- THANK YOU!!!!!

Words cannot express our gratitude to Dr. Vinay Gunnala and his wonderful team at SFC. Prior to go to Dr. Gunnala we suffered a miscarriage and months of TTC with no answers as to why we could not get, and stay, pregnant. We were both over 35 and worried that we may never have our baby. Dr. Gunnala was recommended to me by my OBGYN who said that, “He actually cares.” Little did I know what a rarity this can be in the fertility world based on some friends’ experiences. And she was right, Dr. Gunnala and his team actually care. There was never a time that I didn’t feel supported, important or heard. And when we chose to transfer a low level mosaic embryo, Dr. Gunnala was ready and willing to take that chance with us. That low level mosaic turned into my beautiful, healthy son who will be one in February. I recommend SFC to anyone dealing with fertility issues, and I will definitely be returning for baby #2.

I am very grateful that I found DR. VINAY gunnels at the South west Fertility Center, I have been to a few fertility centers before this one, and this one by far is the most wonderful office that I’ve been to, The doctors are wonderful, and the nurses are very nice and caring, after trying for 3 1/2 years with no success I am now finally four months pregnant, and I couldn’t do it without the help of the South west Fertility Center, so I encourage you if you feel like giving up, don’t give up it is possible it just might take a little bit of time and patience, I highly recommend this office, and I will be returning back, thank you South West Fertility Center

Going to see Dr. Vinay Gunnala at SW Fertility was the best choice we have ever made. After trying to conceive unsuccessfully for 3.5 years, we are now pregnant with our first child!! As the second fertility clinic we went to, Dr. Gunnala was thorough with testing and gave us guidance with all next steps, yet he still left us with the ultimate choice as to which path we felt was right for us. Dr. Gunnala performed a laparoscopy to diagnose and then remove endometriosis and 7 months after surgery we began IVF. Since we live in Flagstaff and would have to drive down multiple times each week, we greatly appreciated being able to visit the Glendale clinic for appointments and the attentive care we received there, although literally everyone that you will interact with at SWFC is caring, kind and highly competent. We cannot thank Dr. Gunnala enough and the entire care team at SWFC! Their knowledge, expertise and genuine care is unsurpassable. I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Gunnala to anyone needing assistance to become pregnant!

Thanks to Dr. Gunnala and his incredible team our little rainbow baby arrived after 6 years of trying. A special Thanks to Karla and Shelly for making us feel like family. We are forever grateful to everyone at southwest fertility for making our dreams comes true.

I have gotten pregnant twice and had successful pregnancies with SW Fertility Center. I could not have done it without them and are FOREVER grateful for their help! My son and my daughter are perfect and I can never thank the team enough. We were blessed with our son in 2019 after 6 years of trying I struggle with PCOS. Unfortunately we had a difficult time conceiving again after our son so we went back to SW Fertility and had my daughter back in January. If you are struggling with fertility issues and are reading this, please call and schedule an appointment! Dr Gunnala and Dr Vinay are the best doctors and not only that but their whole team who was the same 3 years later is the best! Everyone from Fran at the front office to Vanessa in the back to the three amazing nurses Shelley, Lana and Agatha, they treat you like FAMILY. Before coming here in 2018, I had been to five other doctors and numerous other fertility treatments with no success. The difference with SW Fertility is that they incorporate other medications along with the fertility medication which helps increase your chances. They will do the stair step approach if necessary because their goal is to help you get that family you are hoping for! I can never thank them enough for always trying their hardest to help me get pregnant.

I'm not sure if I can adequately put into words how special and how much Dr. Vinay and his team mean to me and my family. After all, what do you say about a doctor and team who changed your life? We came to Dr. Vinay's office after having a very unsuccessful consultation at another practice. We were immediately drawn to his warmth, candor, and supportive nature -- these qualities are something that turned out to be invaluable. We proceeded to have months of fertility treatments, including two rounds of IVF. There were tough conversations. There were tears. There were some really scary days. But there were also lots of laughs, lots of hugs, and lots of reassurance that our dreams of becoming parents were within reach. It was easy to tell that Dr. Vinay and his team truly cared about us, and our success was their success. In March 2023, we had a successful transfer and we are expecting a healthy baby girl this December. My husband and I walked away from the IVF process feeling stronger, healthier, and more prepared than ever to be parents. It was certainly never the way I imagined conceiving, but it ended up the perfectly imperfect way for our family to start. I often describe my experience as "not always pretty, but surely beautiful." I highly recommend anyone who has any questions about their fertility and is waiting for their miracle to reach out to Southwest Fertility. This office is the perfect place for you to feel seen, heard, and understood.
