“Excellent place to start the journey. Dr. Kolb is an outstanding doctor who is very professional, knowledgeable and knows exactly what he is doing. Second time successful journey with him, would definitely recommend him to anyone pursuing the same journey.”

“Dr. Kolb is a knowledgeable and experienced doctor but also compassionate and took the time to answer questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Kolb. I have a son and am currently pregnant right now too. Thank you Dr. Kolb!!”

“Dr.Kolb and team are the best! From beginning to the end of my IVF process I was in good hands. He is compassionate and caring and always answered my questions. I felt in good hands and my process was smooth and thankfully successful the first time with twins! I’m grateful for Dr. Kolb and his team, my experience was more than a 5. I would recommend him and HRC to anyone needing fertility treatment. Not everyone will have the same experiences, wishing other couples the best in their journey and wishing success!”

“I had the pleasure to be under the medical care of Dr. Kolb and his amazing team at HRC Fertility, Pasadena CA. My husband and I are very grateful to have a doctor that took the time to explain with patience given the sensitivity of IVF treatments. I felt comfortable knowing I was in good hands……we never felt rushed and our one million questions were always answered with a smile.”

“I always felt that Dr. Kolb had my best interest in mind and he was the only doctor that listened to my concerns and focused on the quality of the eggs instead of only quantity. Therefore, he customized the IVF process based on my body. Dr. Kolb did all my ultrasounds and of course the retrieval and transfer. Tomorrow is my graduation day and it’s bittersweet as I will miss Dr. Kolb’s compassion, kindness and professionalism. Not to mention that he is very calm and funny! Very important qualities to have during this journey. I highly recommend Dr. Kolb and the HRC staff for your fertility needs.”
