All of the staff at Dr. Werlin’s office were great, but we worked mostly with our nurse, Michelle. Michelle was there with us through every step of the process whether it was teaching us how to take our meds or answer our many questions. She always got back to us promptly with any and all questions we had. We were never made to feel that she didn’t have time for us or that our questions were stupid. On top of the excellent staff the fact that we never had to wait very long to be seen by the doctor was truly amazing. I have never been to a doctor’s office before with such a short wait time.
Of course the best part of our experience at Coastal Fertility is the fact that we are pregnant with our first child! We are expecting a baby boy. Coastal Fertility made the impossible possible and made our dream of starting a family come true. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is having fertility issues. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done.”

“After a year of trying on my own I had a tube removed and was told to seek fertility treatments. I went to Dr. Werlin for help.I have been a patient of Dr. Werlin’s twice. The first time was in 2002 and I become pregnant on our first round and gave birth to a beautiful healthy little girl, the second time was in 2005 and again gave birth to a beautiful healthy little girl in 2006. Since then we have had a tubal pregnancy in September of 2007 which Dr. Werlin was there for me. Low and behold, with only one tube and not a very good one at that I came up pregnant again in March (this year). My husband and I were nervous to get excited at first knowing my history, but I am now 11 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and everything looks good. Dr. Werlin is the best and I miss his special care that I received during my first two pregnancies. I definitely have two miracle babies, and now one on the way. Never give up hope! Thanks Werl!!!”

“Thank you Dr. Werlin and Staff for everything. After trying for five years we have been blessed with twins, a baby boy and girl. Our experience with Dr. Werlin and the Staff was awesome they are able to take the stress out of the situation the second you walked in the office. We have formed many memories during our procedure from the Rolling Stones, Dr. Werlins humor and uplifting attitude to the first time we got to see the babies on the ultrasound. We instantly stop in our tracks and smile when The Rolling Stones are playing no matter where we are at. We have truly been blessed with an experience of a life time and the opportunity to watch two beautiful lives form right before our eyes. Thank you Dr. Werlin you have given us a lifetime of happiness!”

“You can read all about Dr. Werlins’ expertise and knowledge elsewhere on this website. We all know how highly recommended he is. What I need to say, is how wonderful the “Werlin experience” is.
Infertility is such a sensitive issue. Not only will Dr. Werlin feel your pain and hand you a tissue when you hit rock bottom, he will have you smiling again in no time. The only comparison I can make is “Patch Adams”. I looked forward to every office visit… even going in for the pregnancy test that I knew was negative. We were a team and we did not give up until my dream came true!”
– Carrie & Michael Sandoval
“My husband and I endured 6 years of infertility treatment. After being highly recommended by my sister who had also successfully conceived and given birth, there was no other choice but to go to Dr. Werlin. Dr. Werlin and ALL of his staff were warm, compassionate and understanding in not only the medical aspects of achieving a pregnancy, but also helpful with insurance matters and most of all the emotional part of this trying experience. Thanks to Dr. Werlin, our dream did come true with the birth of our 3 year old twins, Joey and Katrina.”
– Joan & Ruben Estrada
Thank you for knowing when to gently push me even when I was stubborn and resisted. The choices I had to make that seemed to monumental appear so simple now as I gaze into her beautiful little eyes, as if the answers were right in front of me the whole time. You and your staff are the most perfect blend of professionalism mixed with gentleness, kindness, and compassion. Along with the most important element that fit my personality, is your upbeat personality and humor.
Please put our little miracle Madison’s picture up on your photo wall of miracles to let couples know that though it can be a long, rough road emotionally and physically, but the end result of this beautiful baby in my arms shows that with your help, dreams do come true.
Please give a special thanks to Susan Le, Janet, Debbie and Cindy, and again thank-you to all your help to make this all come true.”

I felt important and special during every step of the process. Every morning, which when going through a fertility cycle can be many, I was met with a smiling face at the window. The nurses remembered who I was and greeted me with a kind smile each and every day. Dr. Werlin would always walk into the room with a positive attitude and call me be name, or nickname! Each visit was concluded with a high five and “Let’s Make History!” His connection with his patients is wonderful and I felt that I was important to him and not just another person coming through the office. His care for his patients is also evident in the way he handles follow-up phone calls; that is by calling personally! The quality of care and personal connection is something that has helped me through this long journey and is exceptional compared to other fertility centers that I have been to. I am forever grateful for the gift that Coastal Fertility and Dr. Werlin have given me. The kind and warm memories will always be remembered every time that I look at my two precious souvenirs!”

Coastal Fertility Medical Center offers one of the most affordable fertility treatments and is completely transparent regarding the costs of procedures and any other expenses that you may have to pay before commencing your treatment. This differentiates us from some fertility clinics that reduce prices before the signing of the contract but charge you extra later on. We make sure our patients are well aware of any possible extra pricing that may occur over the course of their treatment.
Following the Preimplantation Genetic Screening process, which helps ensure there are normal chromosome numbers and detects possible genetic disorders, the most healthy embryo(s) are selected to be implanted into your or your chosen surrogate’s womb. 2 weeks after the transfer of the embryo, your physician will conduct a final blood test to determine the level of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your body. Increased hCG levels usually indicate a positive pregnancy test.
For fertilization to take place, the collected egg and sperm are combined in a petri dish and cultured in an embryo incubator. This dish is closely watched to check whether any of the eggs have been fertilized. Once the egg is fertilized, it is referred to as an embryo or a blastocyst on the 5th day of development. Our in-house embryologist carefully nurtures every embryo to the right time, even if it means working outside the standard business operating hours. For instance: If an oocyte is not mature, our laboratory will wait for it to mature and then ICSI it at the right time.
The egg retrieval is a slightly invasive medical procedure that takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You will be given an anesthetic to make you sleep for the duration of the procedure. Using ultrasound technology, your doctor will harvest your eggs transvaginally with a small, hollow needle connected to an ultrasound probe. Once your eggs are collected, your partner’s semen or donor sperm you have pre-selected is used for fertilization. The sperm are washed and prepared, and the top-quality sperm extracted is used to fertilize the eggs.
Your doctor will create a customized medication schedule that contains information about the fertility medications and hormone injections you have to take. Medication and injections are taken to encourage your ovaries to mature a large number of eggs for fertilization. Since women don’t respond to fertility drugs and hormones the same way, personalized protocols are crucial to the IVF cycle success. At Coastal Fertility, we will monitor you closely, letting you understand the changes occurring in your body and keeping track of how your egg follicles are growing.
On-site consultations typicallyinclude a standard fertility evaluation, consisting of a physical examination, complementary follicular ultrasound, and testing to enable your doctor to know your present fertility status and draw up a treatment plan.
This consultation includes a detailed medical evaluation with a doctor. You and your physician will review your health records and have enough time to talk about your goals and get answers to your questions. We recommend that you jot down all your questions before the visit to allow you to make the best use of the time spent with your doctor.
Your Reproductive Endocrinologist will take all factors into consideration and create a comprehensive plan of care, otherwise known as the treatment plan. This plan will include treatment recommendations from the physician and enable your financial coordinator to make a precise quotation once you meet.
Our globally respected team of specialists are helping improve IVF technologies to enter into a generation of better outcomes for infertility. Although you’ll have a doctor guiding you, you are also going to benefit from the experience and insights of other doctors during case review collaboration meetings, which take place every week. So, you won’t just rely on the expertise of a specialist but benefit from the knowledge of many reputed fertility experts.

We are here to revolutionize the infertility industry by offering a one-stop-service model to assist our patients through infertility challenges while reducing physical, emotional, and financial risks.
Our fertility clinic focuses on helping you build your family regardless of your sexual orientation or the gender you choose to identify with.

Each of our patient-facing staff goes through LGTB training to let family-building clinicians provide necessary support and make you feel highly welcome.

The customized approach even extends to our fertility laboratory. Our on-site lab director and his highly-experienced team nurture every embryo and egg to increase the odds of success of each cycle.
