Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Thanks to SDFC and Dr. Friedman that we were able to achieve the dream of starting our family. We were blessed with our miracle baby boy, now almost 3 months old and this would not have happened without SDFC. Dr. Friedman was always available for any medical questions and was practical in her approach to treatment and guided us in the right direction when we were unsure about the next steps. Her PA, Irene, was also extremely helpful and a great cheerleader for couples who are on this (often difficult) journey. The nursing technicians whom I saw quite frequently were well informed and skilled. Overall, we were happy with our experience at SDFC.

We had such a wonderful experience at SDFC and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone struggling with fertility issues. After 3 years of trying to get pregnant and 3 rounds of IVF we had our miracle baby. We are so thankful for SDFC and Dr. Friedman! She has a wonderful bedside manner and is extremely knowledgeable!

Dr. Friedman was one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. While I was undoubtedly in a rough situation when I found her, I could not be happier that I did. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone having fertility issues and I would trust her with my life.

This review is long over due, but I have been consumed caring for my 3.5 month year-old, beautiful daughter that Dr. Friedman helped me conceive! Throughout the entire process, my husband and I always felt well informed, under the best care, in control of our treatment and that she was easily accessible with any questions and/or concerns . We already know Dr. Friedman will be part of our baby #2 story!

Dr. Friedman is a rare gem in the world of doctors. She is extremely smart and knowledgeable in her field, she is very kind and compassionate, we trusted every single decision or input she had with full confidence, she is fantastic at responding including outside of appointments, and she truly and genuinely cares about her patients and making their wants, needs, dreams come true. She is easily the greatest doctor I have ever been to and wish I could see her for everything. Highly recommended.

After moving from a Sacramento clinic, after having 2 failed cycles and 1 failed FET, we moved down to San Diego. From the moment I contacted someone, it was LOVE at first email. Every single person I've had contact with, has been amazing. When I met Dr. Friedman, she told me she would not do the transfer until everything (mainly my uterus) was 100% ready. I'm three weeks away from our first FET now! :) I am thrilled I stumbled across their website! Totally recommend this clinic and Dr. F!

Going through IVF is not easy but Dr. Brooke made our experience much better. Dr. Friedman is so kind and intelligent and truly cares for her patients. She makes sure you are comfortable with any decision through the process and keeps you informed about everything. She always answered all our questions and replied to all our emails and we feel very fortunate to have our treatment with her. The Staff at SDFC were also so supportive, respectful, kind and knowledgeable.

Dr Friedman and the entire staff at SD Fertility was beyond amazing! After 2 years of trying to do this naturally we were recommended to this clinic and couldn't be happier! From start to finish we were always presented with the best options, greeted by warm staff, and know that they had personal interest in our success. We are happy to say that after one round we are expecting a baby in February and can't thank Dr Friedman enough.

Out of at least 8 IVF doctors my wife and I saw during our IVF treatment, Dr. Friedman by far had the most compassion and attention to our needs. Most importantly, her breath of experience and expertise was invaluable to our successful outcome. We were very fortunate to have met Dr. Friedman after 3 failed IVF cycles with another clinic. Primarily thanks to Dr. Friedman's suggested course of treatment, our fourth cycle (1st with Dr. Friedman) resulted in a birth of a healthy baby girl.
