Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Kind, Compassionate, Gentle and Reassuring!
Absolutely amazing. He gave us hope when we had none, his own story is inspirational. I am forever thankful to Dr. Gocial for my daughter Lucia and my new baby on the way.

What an amazing man and doctor. He is kind and brilliant. We were with him for 3 years before I became pregnant with twins. I trust him so much and am missing his humor and ease with patients. I 100% recommend him as a fertility doctor.

Thank you for the kind words.

My experience was very positive! My husband and I started coming here to see Dr. Gocial for infertility issues. He was very warm, welcoming and his staff...I just loved! They were able to get me pregnant within 3 months and they saw me through until 11 weeks. I looked forward to my weekly visits and was sad to say goodbye for now. They were always there if and when I had questions. They were so great! I highly recommend Dr. Gocial if you are having trouble conceiving.

As a fertility specialist, you would think, Dr. Gocial could diagnose and treat Endometriosis. Unfortunately, he can't. I went to him while having several flare ups of Endometriosis and he told me over and over again that my issue wasn't caused by endometriosis. I went to another specialist who did surgery and removed Endometriosis from every part of my abdomen and pelvic area. So much for my issues not being caused by Endo. He needs to educate himself about ENDOMETRIOSIS

Disappointed suffering patient in Philadelphia, PA – Mar 09, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Gocial?
My interaction with Dr. Gocial is on the negative side. When I had an ectopic pregnancy he performed the ultrasound scan and said he found the gestational sac in my uterus. In fact that was not gestational sac. Due to his mistake a few days later my tube was ruptured and I was bleeding. He suggested me to wait till the next day and go to the office since I was not heavily bleeding. I didn't listen and went to ER. Eventually I had an emergency surgery and my right tube was removed.
