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.

We had a really wonderful experience with Laurel Fertility. They were always communicative, office staff was friendly, very short wait times, questions always answered, and I'm lucky enough to say we got pregnant on our first try. We had several complications come up along the way that were specific to me and unavoidable, but the expertise of both Dr. Ekpo and Dr. Smikle helped us get through each one. They have an office in Modesto they commute to at least once a week, and this saved a lot of driving for us. They're also available on weekends. We are really thankful we found them.

I came from a different fertility clinic before coming to Dr. Ekpo - and I’m glad I did. From the 1st time we met at our consultation to our last appointment - she was extremely positive and so very supportive. She remained optimistic even though I was feeling down - she always made me feel relaxed and relieved that everything will be ok at every appointment. She wanted us to be successful with our treatment so she was there for us every step of the way - anytime we needed her guidance and support or have questions, she was available. I can’t thank her (and her staff) enough for all the help and support they provided us for 6 months. She already feels like “family” to us. Thank your Dr. Ekpo. We feel so blessed to have you as our RE. We’re truly grateful.

I decided to go to Dr. Ekpo after reading the reviews about her and Laurel Center. Overall, I am very satisfied with the experience I had (I did egg freezing). Dr. Ekpo explained everything along the way, the staff was always around and available to answer questions. I didn't have any negative issues and overall am very happy with my choice.

Dr. Ekpo is amazing! She is very professional, knowledgeable, and caring. She truly invest time in you as her patient and not just another name on her appointment calendar. She takes time to get to know you and your needs in order to make your time at her fertility office successful.

My husband and I are so incredibly grateful we found Dr. Geraldine Ekpo and her team. Dr. Ekpo was extremely understanding, patient and up beat throughout a process that otherwise would have been very unpleasant. She always clearly explained every single procedure, listed to our concerns and questions as well as took our input and always made us feel as if we were part of the decision making process. Dr. Ekpo is very knowledgeable about both IVF and genetic testing.

I love Dr Ekpo and all the nurses and front desk staff and everyone who works at Laurel Fertility Care. Dr Ekpo is so smart and gracious and beautiful and helped me make decisions and always made me feel comfortable/reassured. The nurses go above and beyond, they go over instructions with you and call in your prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy, they make you feel awesome and don't get annoyed with your questions. I never had any issue with insurance/payment. Go here!

My husband and I highly recommend Dr. Ekpo and are grateful we found her. Her knowledge and expertise enabled us to get pregnant when I did not think we could. She was highly responsive and supportive with every decision we faced. She did everything to make us very comfortable in understanding the administering of my meds and with all my procedures. We could not recommend any other doctor. She is the best.

Dr. Ekpo was great - she explained everything to me clearly, we set realistic goals together and I had a very successful egg retrieval. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Also, the entire nursing staff were terrific - friendly, gentle, supportive. My appointments started on time, they accommodated my busy schedule and I felt genuinely taken care of.

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Ekpo and our nurse Donna and all the staff at Laurel. They treated us like we were the only patients and understood what we were going through. At no point did we feel like we were doing the wrong thing. We were very fortunate our process was fast and smooth with success on the first try with IVF. I am currently 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant and couldn't be more thankful for Dr. Ekpo and all the staff.

I have been hoping I would be a lucky patient & have the success to write a glowing review of LFC! Dr. Ekpo, Francesca, Mirleni & all the staff here are the kindest group to support you when you are going through a difficult time like this! They felt like family every step of the way! Everything was efficient and on schedule. They were responsive & you felt like they were on your team the entire time. I have endometriosis & adenomyosis and did IVF & am now 9 weeks pregnant with a healthy girl!
