Customer Reviews
Based on 5 reviews
"Excellent service and a great team of doctors and everyone who works there...highly recommended"
"Cecolfes is the worst clinic. Paula Nino is a doctor with absolutely no ethics. She told us she had seen the embryos and they were perfect, then on the day of the transfer she arrived and they hadn't even been thawed. I traveled from abroad for this. She should have her medical license revoked. A horrific experience. This is what became of Dr. Lucena's great legacy, a shame. / The worst clinic ever, a horrid experience. Dr. Paula Nino lied about seeing the embryos when they hadn't even been thawed."
"My experience at Cecolfes was terrible. I tried twice to get pregnant with a boy. And it didn't work out. They don't even give you the news in person, only over the phone. This experience left me completely depressed because of the false hope you give! I went through so much pain during the treatments, vaginal infections due to the procedures, and I was in a bad mood every day while taking medication. In my opinion, you don't provide the customer service you should and you don't monitor whether the medications are working well or not for the patient. I'm 26 years old, and it's strange that I haven't gotten pregnant. A lot of money wasted for nothing. Tiffany"
"Excellent service from absolutely everyone; the atmosphere is very peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for giving me back my health, peace of mind, and happiness. Dr. Oscar Lumbana has treated several women in my family and is an excellent professional."
"Blessed to have found this amazing team of doctor and nurses. Felt like they really cared. They were supportive every step of the way and thanks to Cecolfes I now have a beautiful daughter. I recommend them 100%"
