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.

Long, Rewarding Journey
Dr. Acacio and his team have been so wonderful during a very complicated journey. Dr. Acacio listened to our concerns and put us at ease during an unfortunately extended journey to pregnancy. He was never willing to give up in helping us become pregnant or not do a test or procedure. The nurses were also so kind and supportive during each appointment and blood draw. We are forever grateful to Dr. Acacio and his team.

Best experience with Dr. Acacio
Acacio fertility center has been the most amazing experience. After going to multiple fertility clinics none compare to the service and support I received with Dr acacio. One of my favorite things was each appointment I met with dr acacio for ultrasounds and follow ups which in my experience at previous clinics I just met with any available provider and felt like another #! Dr Acacio made me feel like I wasn't alone and that this was a team effort that he was also very invested in not just myself. The nurses are beyond amazing as well! I never waiting more than a couple hours for a response if it even took that long. I could call and speak with my nurse almost immediately if I. Ended too. They were so kind and caring ! I absolutely love Kasey !!! I did also have great results with acacio fertilty center, we decided to do a lower stimulation cycle due to not wanting reserve embryos, we transferred two embryos and confirmed one of them stuck and we have a growing baby with a heart beat

Best out there!
It will be a very bittersweet feeling when we are no longer under Dr. Acacio’s care. The goal was to get pregnant and Dr. Acacio helped us achieve that! However, we’re so bummed that we no longer get to see him or his wonderful team. My wife and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. We had been trying for a few months and were unsuccessful. When we first started looking for fertility doctors, we came across Dr. Acacio and saw that he had great reviews. Later, we found out that some of his patients travel far and wide to see him, and we completely understand why. Dr. Acacio and his team were so supportive throughout the entire process, one of which can be difficult physically and emotionally. His guidance was thorough and instructions were clear. They addressed all of our questions (we had a lot of them!) and always instilled confidence. It’s only right that we re-pay the favor in way we can. Thank you to Dr. Acacio and his amazing team!-AA

Amazing Team!
My husband and I are beyond grateful for Dr. Acacio and his team. His team, is extremely sweet and helpful. The moment we began my FET process, everyone made us feel comfortable. Starting this process with this team felt right the moment we spoke to Dr. Acacio. I love his optimism and his way of easing my nerves with his sense of humor. My husband and I appreciate him for going into detail with every part of the process, every ultrasound. Thank you all for this wonderful experience!

The BEST!
When searching for a fertility Doctor, two things were important to my husband and I. First, we wanted a Doctor who was highly educated in the field, experienced and had great recommendations relative to the quality of their work. Second, we wanted a Doctor who could be alongside us for the journey, empathize with us as needed and help guide us as this is a very sensitive and emotional process. Essentially, we wanted someone who was BOTH smart and had great bedside manner. Dr. Acacio and his staff are that and then some. They go out of their way to make sure you have what you need, understand everything and never feel alone. This journey has been a long one for us and I've felt like they were in it with us the whole time. I trust Dr. Acacio and I trust his team, unconditionally. It's rare to find this level of competence and care in the same Doctor, I'm so grateful we've found that with Dr. Acacio.

Success!!
We can’t believe after three years of trying that we are pregnant with twins! Dr. Acacio and his staff are wonderful. They are so caring and helpful. Please note that Dr. Acacio balances time between his Laguna Niguel and Bakersfield clinics. He only visits the Bakersfield clinic every other Friday, but he is always accessible through email. His staff is also really great at answering questions. Viridiana has a wonderful, positive energy and is so patient with nervous nellies like me. The whole team is rooting for you. Another thing to note is that you will have to go to Laguna Niguel to do all the big procedures. But it’s a beautiful area and totally worth the mini vacation. We had such a positive experience with Dr. Acacio and his team. We wish he could oversee the whole pregnancy but he only sees his patients through the first trimester. We are grateful and wish everyone the best of luck! We Highly recommend Dr. Acacio!

Amazing Experience!!
My and my husband were trying to conceive for over a year and a half before we decided to look into a fertility center. After talking to a few people a family friend referred us to Dr. Acacio. After doing 2 IUIs we are currently 11 weeks pregnant with our first baby! Dr. Acacio and his team are wonderful and they are always super helpful to answer any questions I had during the whole process! We will definitely be coming back when it’s time for a second baby!

Amazing Doctor & Staff!!
A very good friend of mine recommended Dr. Acacio to me. She was not lying when she said the doctor and his staff are amazing! After having 3 miscarriages & very bad experience with OBGYN’s I decided to seek a Fertility specialist for help to be able to have a successful pregnancy. I am now 12 weeks pregnant and every visit with him is great! He answers all of our questions, he is very sweet, compassionate, understanding and makes you feel so comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Acacio 1,000 percent!!! I wish I would have met him sooner! He is the best!

PREGNANT with TWINS!!!
Let me start off by sharing the best news ever! I am officially 10 weeks pregnant…with TWINS!!!!! Dr. Acacio has made our dream come true! It didn’t come easy and not a quick process, but it happened!!! Finding an IVF doctor is incredibly intimidating and overwhelming, so I know these reviews are a helpful insight. You can tell his process is completely customized to you, not a one size fits all deal. Very promising. Personally, I couldn’t be happier to recommend Dr. Acacio and his wonderful team. My fiancé and I had been trying to conceive for 8 years. Thankfully I found Dr. Acacio and thought we’d give it a shot. We soon set up an appointment. It was the best first step, towards this incredible journey, we could’ve made. Not to mention, he has a great staff behind him. Both at his Laguna Niguel and Bakersfield location. Everyone is so professional, personable, and helpful with any questions or concerns. Without a doubt, I would recommend Dr. Acacio to anyone who would ask.

Acacio's Fertility is Awesome
Dr. Brian Acacio is an excellent Doctor and his staff is wonderful. The offices are very clean and welcoming in Bakersfield and Laguna Niguel. Dr. Acacio is very knowledgeable and competent in what he does and will give you the best possible shot in success. To be clear though, it's really expensive. We felt misled in the total cost because we were told that affordable IVF clinics will nickle and dime you while Acacio's didn't and included everything in one package price. However, everything wasn't included in the package and the total cost ended up being over double of what we understood the price to be. To be fair though we did have to do two rounds. Luckily we had family that helped with the total cost. However, besides the cost I feel Dr. Acacio still earned a 5 star rating.

Where do I begin? Dr. Acacio and his team in Bakersfield and Laguna Niguel are great! Very warm, welcoming and professional. Every single person in the Bakersfield office took the time to explain the process to my husband and I in detail. During this infertility journey, with the mix of emotions, they all made us feel right at home. Now I am pregnant with twins after IVF and we are so excited for this new chapter. I don’t know where we would be if it wasn’t for Dr. Acacio and his team. If you are currently struggling with infertility and are searching for a fertility specialist , you’ve come to the right place! Thank you so much to Dr. Acacio and his team for bringing us a piece of happiness that will last a lifetime.

We came to Dr. Acacio midway through a rocky infertility journey. After one successful IVF pregnancy followed by multiple failed attempts at a second baby with another clinic (not in this area), we decided to start over with a new provider. We were immediately impressed by Dr. Acacio and his staff. Dr. Acacio went over our past history thoroughly and identified areas for further testing and changes to protocol unique to our situation. This was a welcome contrast to other doctors we had met who seemed to just put us on the same general pathway as all of their other patients, and/or "throw the kitchen sink" and recommend every possible fertility treatment, regardless of evidence or pertinence to our history. Dr. Acacio has also been compassionate and supportive, answering questions and providing much needed encouragement every step of the way. We are now delighted to be expecting our second child, and we can never thank Dr. Acacio and his staff enough.

Dr. Acacio and his staff are kind and thoughtful. During a long and vulnerable journey your met with compassion and understanding. We worked closely with the staff at Bakersfield for all our initial testing and cycle monitoring and traveled to Laguna Niguel for our egg retrievals and transfer. Dr Acacio is kind but honest and it was refreshing to be heard throughout this process. If you are looking for a clinic to help you on your fertility journey, I recommend Acacio Fertility Clinic.
