IVF Fertility Center – John Kuo, MD, PhD

I am a huge fan of Dr. Kuo and his spectacular team. He is extremely smart, kind, and an efficient doctor. His nurses are all fantastic and there was never a wait time. He is very cost conscious, explains things in detail, and is super organized. Infertility pretty much sucks all around, but working with his team made it bearable. We had three IUIs at his office and though we were not successful, that was not his fault at all. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is beginning their fertility journey.

I have never had a better IVF doctor than Dr Kuo. He has a wonderful manner and comprehensive knowledge. His staff are just as compassionate and helpful. I have never been to a practice where doctor responds back to your concerns and problems so quickly. Plus, he works on weekends too to accommodate his patients!
I would recommend Dr Kuo to anyone. He truly cares for his patients.

Dr Kuo is an exceptional doctor in every way. We had a tough male infertility diagnosis going in and we knew it wouldn’t be an easy road, but boy I had no idea it would take so much to get pregnant. When going thru hell you really need a caring, well researched and hard working doctor like Kuo. Unlike a lot of clinics the appointments run on time, he does all the scans himself instead of a nurse, he will see you any day of the week and yes that includes Sunday and most holidays. He also has the most wonderful nurses I heart them big time. I used to hate needles (now I use them daily) so my first blood draws were scary and they are so careful and painless. We even had one of the nurses drive to our house to administer a shot at 10pm on a Sunday and she was as gracious as ever. I actually miss seeing them now that I’ve graduated.
I could email or call him and would always get a prompt answer no matter what it was about. I appreciate that he stays up to date on all the latest studies because this is always an evolving jigsaw puzzle. For a RE he also does what he can to make this taxing process easier whether it be less invasive medicines and most importantly filing your insurance claims for you. Its hard to pay out of pocket for something so expensive that everyone else seems to get for free I am so thankful that at the very least he and his team take some of the burden off you by submitting it for you. Most clinics in LA won’t do this for you let alone give you this kind of comprehensive care the IVF Fertility Center does.
My fiancé has pretty high standards not just doctors but most any professional and he still comments almost daily about what excellent care we got. I am so thankful I didn’t mess around with any other clinics and went straight to him. I recommend him hands down and so do the little 10 fingers and toes in my belly. Now if only he could deliver our babies too ;)

I had a very great experience with Dr. Kuo. He is an awsome Doctor and cares so much for his patients. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Kuo is a miracle worker! He’s very meticulous at his practice. Before seeing Dr. Kuo we had multiple unsuccessful attempts with another doctor for about 4 years. We were at the point of either getting a surrogate mother or adopting according to our previous doctors. Luckily we were referred to Dr Kuo and «bam» the rest was history with twins coming in February! Thank you Dr Kuo and his wonderful staff of Leanne & Eliana…

Dr. Kuo has a long list of awards and he is worthy of each one. Hands down the best doctor we’ve ever dealt with. Care for patient, responsiveness, knowledgeable are just some of the words that best describes him.
I would recommend Dr. Kuo to anyone within my circle and I am confident about my recommendation.

I’ve never written any reviews for anything on Unilocal.And it did take me some time to register a new user just to put in this review. After one year of delay though because I’ve been busy with my new baby. :)
Dr. Kuo is the best doctor I’ve ever met. To put it simple, Dr. Kuo is a good person. I started visiting him when Dr. Kuo was still working at UCLA. He is very knowledgeable, professional and patient. He responds to emails on a timely manner. And he does call you when you have questions. Sadly Dr. Kuo left UCLA and it’s harder for me to visit him because of insurance. Even I was not visiting him meaning he was not making any money for helping me. Dr. Kuo still answered my questions through emails and phone calls. Infertility treatments are stressful and emotional. I can be more grateful for all the support and help from Dr. Kuo. I hope no one ever had problems having kids. But if you do, I would recommend Dr. Kuo.
Thank you. Dr. Kuo.
Best,
Y. Yang

Pros:
1) He tries to as cost effective as possible. Doesn’t try to push something you don’t need.
We went there asking for IVF and he suggested IUI.
He recently lowered his prices, because he changed to a lab that’s charging him less. This says a lot about his character.
2) very knowledgeable. As much as I love my OB. I’m glad I didn’t do IUI with her. You really need to go to a specialist for this sort of stuff.
3) as a patient you get access to his cellphone. I’ve texted him many times asking him question and he got back to me within minutes.
4) efficient and is a perfectionist, which you want as traits for your Doctor.
5) professional. Very careful what he says and goes by facts and science. Doesn’t tell you what you want to hear…
I was referred to Dr. Kuo by a friend of mine who went through many rounds of IVF from other fertility clinics and finally pregnant with twins after going through 1 round of IVF with Dr. Kuo.
Result– I had done only 1 round of unsuccessful clomid (my body didn’t respond with clomid) and had to sit out due to cyst and high FSH level. Was prepared to do injectables plus IUI this month and my period never came:) I took all the vitamins and made some lifestyle changes he recommended and it worked!
He does care about his patients and is available for you anytime you need him. I’ve once text him to see if I can have a glass of wine at a wedding:)
I would recommend him to anyone who is going through headache of infertility!

I cannot praise Dr Kuo enough. He is the best doctor one could find for such a serious and delicate matter as ivf fertilization. He is extremely knowlegable and skillful in what he is doing, Besides this, he is very compassionate, attentive to his patients and eager to explain all the details. He answers the calls at any day and time and genuanely cares for the outcome of the precedure. I was a patient of Dr Kuo when he worked at UCLA Medical Center and gave birth to a wonderful healthy girl. Now, when Dr Kuo opened his own practice, I became his patient once agan and currently I am three months pregnant.
The new office is very nice and the staff is very welcoming, friendly and professional. I would recommend this office to anyone who wants to become a parent!

Dr Kuo and his staff are friendly, professional and supportive. After visiting three other Doctors, I was referred to Dr. Kuo. He worked with my OBGYN and we conceived. He is the best and truly cares about your well being, simply the Best!

I went to Dr. Kuo when I was 41 and we were successful after 4 cycles. He’s experienced and knowledgeable in his field. He’s very conscious of expenses. And mostly he’s kind, compassionate, and courteous; as is his staff. He made himself available to us whenever we needed him or had questions, even during nights, weekends and holidays. He was our first choice of a list of UCLA fertility doctors. He’s in his own practice now and I’m glad he was able to take us on as his patients.

Dr. Kuo is truly one of the best doctors. I have researched many doctors before coming to see Dr. Kuo and I am very happy with my decision. As all the prior reviews have mentioned, Dr. Kuo is very knowledgeable and definitely very caring and compassionate. He always made sure to give me all the information I needed for the procedures he performed and made me feel comfortable because of his expertise. I felt very comfortable contacting Dr. Kuo whenever I was nervous regarding different symptoms I had when he helped me become pregnant after IVF. I was very nervous and he made me feel less anxious after speaking to him. I truly felt that he was happy for me when I became pregnant. He is always very honest in his answers and I trust him with the care he gives. He has been my Dr. for over 2 years and has always been kind and patient with me. Dr. Kuo’s staff are also amazing! they are very professional and are prompt in answering any questions that I have. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who would like a caring, professional, intelligent, knowlegeable, compassionate, and patient doctor!

Dr Kuo is one of the best doctors who is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate about patient care. He has always made himself available for all questions and any emergencies during and outside of office hours. He has provided accurate diagnosis and treatment plans that particularly catered to my health condition. Fertility treatments today have become very standardized at most clinics and they put you through the process of IUI’s and IVF’s without completely understanding what may or may not work for you, putting patients through a huge financial and emotional burden. We are so glad that Dr. Kuo takes the time to understand your medical history and does not put you through the rigors when not required. He is very trustworthy, makes the right choices for you, and has never been pushy in the over 6 years of care I received. He is has been extremely patient with us in our very long fertility journey. And, everytime we went for a second opinion to another well-​known fertility specialist in Los Angeles, we became more and more assured that Dr. Kuo is the best.
We are finally expecting our first child and it would not have been possible without the care and treatment provided by Dr. Kuo. I really miss seeing Dr. Kuo, it’s a pity he doesn’t deliver babies. Dr. Kuo’s visits always took away the stress and anxiety, primarily because we never left his office with unanswered questions. I would highly recommend this doctor to friends and family.

Dr Kuo is really professional and nice. He answered all my questions with great patience and made reasonable suggestion. He is the one I would like to recommend to my family and friends. Thank u, u r amaaaaaaazing doctor!

Dr Kuo is an amazing doctor! He makes my dreams come true.
He is kind, caring and absolutely professional knowledgeable. I went to seek for Dr Kuo’s help after 3 failed IVF with other doctor. I was sad, hopeless and frustrated. Dr Kuo makes everything possible. He is thorough, detail, kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He makes me feel that he really cares about me and want to help me find out why the previous 3 IVF were failed. Most importantly, he wants to help me get pregnant.
The whole experience with Dr Kuo is wonderful. Very easy to communicate with Dr Kuo and his staffs. I had the most easy IVF journey and most amazingly, I am pregnant, in just one shoot!
I strongly recommend Dr Kuo, he is an amazing doctor with a kind/​caring heart.

Dr. Kuo is a truly great doctor. He is extremely smart and always puts me at ease. Every time I ask him a question (and I often ask a lot of questions!), he always gives me a thorough and knowledgable response. Dr. Kuo goes above and beyond to make sure that his patients are well taken care of. He is the kind of doctor I would recommend to my family and friends (I actually already have!) and I feel very lucky to be his patient.
