Male Infertility
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an In Vitro Fertilization procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg in order to achieve fertilization. This procedure is most commonly used to overcome male infertility although at La Jolla IVFÂ we have found ICSIÂ to be a very effective method to secure fertilization of eggs in the IVF lab.
Emergency Care
I canâ€™t say enough good things about my experience with everyone at La Jolla IVF. Everyone was always kind, caring and concerned. One thing that really impressed me was that after my first visit, no one ever asked my name. You may think that is strange but no one ever asked my name because everyone in the office knew my name! Not only that but everyone always greeted me warmly by name both in person and on the phone. I felt like a valued customer. I had worked with another center prior to going to La Jolla IVF. Although I liked the doctor, the staff treated me about the same as you are treated at an urgent care center. No one ever greeted me by name or even acted like they had seen me before. Even though I had been in several times a month. I wanted another child more than anything in the world that I didnâ€™t already have. I had started late not realizing how young a womanâ€™s fertility beings to decline. Dr. Smotrich always treated me with kindness and respect. Even more importantly, he treated me as an equal partner in the process. At one point during my treatment I had an urgent medical issue on a Saturday afternoon. Dr. Smotrich called me back in less than 5 minutes. He was able to help me treat the situation at home and saw me the next morning (a Sunday) in the office. He also called back Saturday evening to make sure I was doing okay. Another thing I appreciated about working with La Jolla IVF was the fees. My budgeted fees were the same as what I actually spent. At the other fertility center I paid for a global package but as I went through my treatment I found more and more things were not included in the â€œglobalâ€ fees. I thought global fees would include everything that was not specifically excluded but it seemed like every time I walked into the office there was yet another unexpected charge. I found this very frustrating. Itâ€™s rare to find the best technical expertise, an outstanding embryology lab and excellent patient care all in the same center. La Jolla IVF exceeds expectations in all areas. I wholeheartedly recommend La Jolla IVF to anyone looking to start or expand their family!

Ultrasound
At the beginning I think it's very important for people to remember that I've been very fortunate to take care of many surrogates over my career; and in the last twenty years of being here in San Diego Iâ€™ve done over 3,500 cycles surrogacy. I've been told that I done more surrogate cycles in any other physician in the world. The day of embryo transfer, I take a catheter and I gently places through the cervix into the uterus and this is done under abdominal ultrasound guidance and...
Chemotherapy
Women whose ovaries and eggs are damaged from disease and/or chemotherapy or who have been forced to have their ovaries surgically removed.

Vasectomy
These various procedures are performed on an outpatient basis with various degrees of anesthesia ranging from local to general anesthesia. The recovery from the incisional procedures is similar to that of a vasectomy â€“ 48 hours of limited activity and about one week of abstinence from sex or exercise. The recovery from a percutaneous procedure is easier and less restrictive.
