"My partner and I began our fertility journey after moving to Costa Rica, and we were understandably nervous about navigating such an important process in a new country while speaking only minimal Spanish. From the very beginning, Azul Fertility Clinic made us feel safe, supported, and truly cared for. We chose Azul for several services, including the ROPA method, PGT-A testing, and egg freezing. Today, we are six months pregnant with our first baby, and we plan to return later this year for our second implantation (and hopefully, pregnancy). We feel incredibly grateful that this clinic was part of bringing our family to life. Our first meeting with Dr. Marcos Azulay was an enormous relief. His compassion, warmth, and genuine care immediately put us at ease. In a medical world that can sometimes feel clinical or rushed, he brought patience, kindness, and presence to every interaction. It quickly became clear that he truly had our best interests at heart, and that trust meant everything to us during such a vulnerable journey. As a LGBTQ+ couple pursuing the ROPA method, feeling respected and understood was incredibly important. The entire team treated us with openness, dignity, and genuine support. We never felt like an exception or an afterthought—only like a family being helped. The process of reviewing donor profiles was also streamlined and efficient, which made an otherwise overwhelming step feel manageable. Every person we interacted with played a meaningful role in our experience. The front desk staff were always welcoming, responsive, and communicative. Our nurse was incredibly kind, attentive, and well-informed, always quick to answer questions and check in. The psychologist we met with was thoughtful and engaged, helping ease many of the emotional aspects that can come with fertility treatment. The biologist was also extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain things clearly, which helped us feel confident and informed. Azul Fertility Specialist Clinic made it clear—through both their words and their actions—that we were not alone in this process. At every step, we felt that the entire team was truly in our corner, supporting us as we built our family. We are deeply grateful for the care we received and cannot recommend this clinic enough to anyone beginning their fertility journey."

"We had an excellent experience with this clinic and truly felt we were in the hands of someone who knew exactly what they were doing. The doctor’s approach struck a perfect balance—he shares information when you ask, without overwhelming you, which really helped keep anxiety at bay during an already emotional process. The entire team is amazing. From the embryologist to the nurses and the wonderful reception staff, we always felt supported and cared for. While Dr. Azulay can come across as serious—which is understandable given how many patients he sees—I always felt he knew my history and had a clear, thoughtful plan for MY treatment. At other clinics, I sometimes felt like my case was forgotten or confused with others, and the experience could feel cold or discouraging. That was never the case here. I clearly remember walking into the doctor’s office, sharing everything I had been through, and explaining that I wanted to move straight to IVF due to timing and insurance constraints. He and the entire team truly went the extra mile to make that happen. Saying goodbye to the team has been hard because they truly became part of our lives. At the same time, we are incredibly grateful to God and to all of them that this goodbye comes with our baby safe and growing strong inside me. We feel incredibly lucky and grateful. Despite low odds, we became pregnant with our only embryo, and we cannot thank the doctor enough for his expertise and the entire team for their unwavering support throughout this journey. 🙏"

"I am incredibly grateful for the care I received at Azul Fertility… From the very beginning, I never felt like just another patient… I felt seen, understood & supported ♥️ The level of personal attention and dedication from Dr. Azulay & the entire team made such a difference throughout the IVF journey. The facility is truly state-of-the-art, and the professionalism and expertise are evident in every interaction. Communication was clear, compassionate, and organized throughout the entire process. I would choose this clinic again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking exceptional fertility care. Thank you, Dr. Azulay & team!"

"I can’t recommend Azul Fertility Experts in Costa Rica enough! After struggling with fertility treatments in the US, where we often felt like just another number in an impersonal system, we decided to explore options abroad. Choosing Azul Fertility Experts was the best decision we could have made. The lower costs were a significant factor, but what truly stood out was the personalized, compassionate care we received. From the moment we arrived, the clinic’s modern, airy, and bright atmosphere put us at ease—it felt like a sanctuary of hope. Every staff member was incredibly helpful and friendly, creating a warm and supportive environment. Dr. Azulay was exceptional: always honest, approachable, and radiantly positive, he guided us with expertise and genuine care. Compared to our US clinic’s cold, clinical vibe, this was a breath of fresh air. Communication was seamless, with the team readily available via WhatsApp. Our nurse, Meri, was an absolute gem—attentive, patient, and always going above and beyond to answer our questions, no matter how small. The affordability of fertility medications in Costa Rica was another huge relief, making the process far less financially stressful. After our first IVF round, we remained hopeful, and on our second round, we got the incredible news—we’re pregnant! Azul Fertility Experts turned our dream into reality with their expertise and heartfelt support. If you’re seeking a fertility clinic that combines cutting-edge facilities with personalized care, look no further than Azul Fertility Experts. We’re forever grateful!"

"I’m so grateful to Azul Fertility Clinic for the care, compassion, and support I received during my fertility journey. I traveled from Canada for treatment, and from the moment I arrived, I felt seen, heard and cared for. Dr. Azulay is not only incredibly skilled but also deeply kind and empathetic—qualities that made all the difference during what could have been an overwhelming experience. The entire team created an environment that felt safe, respectful, and genuinely hopeful. Thanks to their guidance and support, I’m now 4 months pregnant and beyond thankful for the role they played in making this dream come true. What was a challenging chapter became a beautiful one because of them. I can’t recommend Azul Fertility enough to anyone navigating this path—you will be in the best hands. 💛"

"They say it takes a village to raise a child, in our case it took a village to conceive one. We couldn’t have been happier to have chosen Azul fertility to be part of that village. Not only did they have the best costs in the market but they were kind and sensitive to our needs. Even through our fears, the team was there every step of the way. Thank you for making our family a dream come true :)"
