Fertility Institute of Costa Rica

"I first met Dr. Marcos Azulay in 2023 when I was feeling uncertain about my reproductive journey. From our very first meeting, I truly appreciated his professionalism and genuine empathy. He listens with the kind of care you would expect from a family member, making you feel truly valued. Fast forward to 2025, when we decided to undergo IVF treatment with Dr. Azulay, and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions we've made! Each visit has been wonderful, and the entire staff has been incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Dr. Azulay has a unique ability to make every appointment feel comfortable and relaxed. Throughout our journey, he has been a pillar of support. Not only is he an expert in his field, but he also fosters a personal connection that is hard to find—it's like having a family member by your side during this challenging process. His genuine care for his patients and dedication to his work truly stand out. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Azulay and the entire team at the clinic. We are incredibly grateful for everything they have done for us, and we will cherish this journey forever!"

"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."

"This process wasn’t easy at all… Sometimes we have so much faith and hope that everything will go perfectly from the very beginning, but unfortunately, it doesn’t always happen that way. This journey taught me to have patience, faith, and to trust in God’s timing. Things don’t always happen how we want, but how God wants, and when He decides. Dr. Marcos Azulay Bentolila was amazing — he was there from day one, always supporting me in my hardest moments. He’s a great professional, very kind, and truly cared about my health. The nurses, especially during my last (and successful!) procedure, were so sweet and always attentive to everything I needed. And biologist Lorena Lozano did an excellent job — she gave me so much peace and confidence. The girls at the front desk were also super kind and helpful — they always treated me with so much warmth and made every visit easier. For anyone starting this process, I just want to say: it’s not easy, nothing about it is. But I know you’re in the best hands. Have faith and patience, because in the end, the happiness of becoming a mom has no price. I’m deeply thankful to Azul Fertility experts and to God for this miracle and the beautiful new adventure that begins now👏🏻 I’M FINALLY A MOM ✨💙💙"

"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!"
