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.

Our experience here has been amazing to say the least! There are no words that can truly describe how grateful we are. Dr Smikle is very quiet and direct which I personally appreciate. He is very professional, kind, patient, and answered any and all questions with fact based honesty. We let him know our preferred outcome. Dr Smikle gave us the more realistic view while still remaining positive. Highly recommend!

IVF Journey
Because of Dr. Smikle, I am on my way to finally becoming a mother! Through egg retrieval surgery, endometriosis surgery, 3 PRP injections and two transfers, Dr. Smikle was by my side through it ALL. I am forever grateful for Dr. Smikle's support and encouragement along the way. He always had my best interest and advocated for me at every angle. Beyond this stellar doctor is his incredible staff and clinic - shout out to Leslie and Celeste! I know that infertility is something none of us imagined having to go through, so building trust is hard and takes time, especially when treatments fail. However, I encourage you to have trust in Dr. Smikle. He wants to the same outcome as you and he IS committed to getting you there! :-)

Great office
Dr. Smikle and the entire office are well organized, caring, and great at what they do. We completed two successful IVF cycles. Communication was on point the entire time and the office was very responsive to the many questions we had a long the way. Highly recommend.

Laurel Fertility is the most efficient and pristine place to work in the Bay Area to achieve your goal of a family if you're struggling. The staff and doctors were INCREDIBLE (from the phone operators to the embryologists to the nurses and doctors)! My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with the team and we were blessed with twins after what seemed like such a tough road. They took us in with open arms and were always there to ease my worries. I couldn't recommend them more. Also, their prices tend to be better than some competitors, which always helps!

We had a really wonderful experience with Laurel Fertility. They were always communicative, office staff was friendly, very short wait times, questions always answered, and I'm lucky enough to say we got pregnant on our first try. We had several complications come up along the way that were specific to me and unavoidable, but the expertise of both Dr. Ekpo and Dr. Smikle helped us get through each one. Dr. Smikle especially is very thorough and cautious, knowing how much is at stake with each transfer. We are really thankful we found them.

I completed one round of egg freezing and one frozen embryo transfer with Dr. Smikle and Dr. Ekpo. I am very happy that I chose Laurel Fertility Clinic. From the beginning of my journey Dr. Smikle and the entire team were very honest and up front about the overall fertility journey. I asked Dr. Smikle for the most efficient way to have a healthy baby due to my advanced maternal age. We landed on FET and I am in the last weeks of my first trimester. I am very happy!

Happy Patient – Mar 02, 2021

Working with Dr. Smikle and the entire team at Laurel Fertility Care in creating our family has been a complete joy and incredible experience. Dr. Smikle is caring, thoughtful and most importantly an IVF genius. With our daughter, 3 years ago, Dr. Smikle helped us every step of the way. Our case was challenging - but he tried something new every cycle until we were successful. When we decided to add another bundle of joy into the mix, we knew our experience was going to wonderful- what we didn’t expect was that it would be even better than the first! The nurses, office staff and everyone who makes up Laurel was attentive and kind every step of our cycle. It truly feels like we are part of a big family, and I can’t recommend Dr. Smikle enough. If you are frustrated and ready to start a family- please call Laurel and make an appointment with Dr. Smikle. You won’t regret it. My only regret was waiting so long.
