How was your experience with Mark Sanchez at Florida Fertility Institute?He can be very charismatic until your pay $$$. Then you are of no concern to him. I have low ovarian reserve. I didnt do Dr Google or question his course of action. I followed his instructions and the nurses instructions to a tee. I never questioned anything because I trusted that he knew what he was doing and that he had my best interest in mind. Boy was I wrong! They prescribed me birth control for a couple of cycles before stimulation. (now I know birth control suppresses your ovaries and is terrible for people with low ovarian reserve like me). On stimulation day 6, they did my ultrasound and bloodwork and my follicles were not growing as fast as they expected. The nurse called me that afternoon and said that the doctor told me to not come back till Monday which was day 11 of simulation. I was not monitored for 4 days in the middle of stimulation! The nurse told me the Dr established the exact day for my egg retrieval even though my body wasnt responding the way they wanted. Later I found out thats the day he had the anesthesiologist from the hospital in his clinic and he lined up all his retrievals for the same day. Forget what my body said or my timeline. It was what worked best for his timeline and most cost-effective for him. He never told the nurses or me to take any of the ganirelix that was prescribed and I purchased until after I came back on day 11. By that time, little did I know, the damage was done. When I came in on day 11 of stimulation, I was very bloated and complained that my stomach could not be extended anymore. The doctor never saw me. He didnt say anything. He never called. Looking back at my medical records now, my estrogen levels were through the roof on day 11. He doesnt have any of his patients come in after trigger to do blood work to identify your true estrogen level. If mine was high before the trigger, I can only imagine what it was afterwards. I have had other doctors ask me what my estrogen level was after trigger and they were shocked he didnt check my level. After retrieval, I awoke from anesthesia and threw up immediately 2X while still on the table from the pain. He never came back in the room to check on me. I literally left his clinic after egg retrieval hunched over and couldnt stand up straight. He never called me that afternoon to check on me. I went to the hospital for 6 days. He NEVER called. He didnt even care to call other doctors that were calling him asking him how to take care of me and if this was a normal reaction to egg retrieval and what to do. His professional manner was so bad, my OBGYN told me she will never refer another patient to him or his practice again. Dr Sanchez also told us that we didnt need ICSI and that my husbands sperm was great. Out of the 6 eggs I had left on day 2 only 3 had fertilized and I had a 50% fertilization rate. If we had done ICSI, I now know it would have been much higher and I would have had a greater chance at growing more embryos to 5 days. When we met with him after my hospital stay and I was still extremely sore, he asked to examine me. All he did was lay me down on his examining table and press on my lower abdomen and I was in so much pain. His response was like, yeah thats normal. He then smiled and told my husband that it would all be ok because women like me that over stimulate and end up in the hospital always end up pregnant. I left the clinic so upset that he gave my husband this false promise. I knew the odds and with only 1 embryo, they were not in my favor. He also runs a lot of clinical trials out of his office. I saw many people waiting in the waiting room every time I was there. I was shocked since there are only 2 doctors, 2 IVF nurses. Looking back, it seems like all he cares about is the $Money$ Money from patients. Money from clinical trials Money from students waitng room - clinical trails

We cant thank Dr. Sanchez and his entire staff for what they have done for our family!From the first consult to the last follow up appointment Dr. Sanchez always took his time answering all our questions and understood our concerns. His bedside matter is genuine, kindhearted and compassionate. The office staff always greets you with a smile. And as far as the IVF nurse team; Charlie and Andrea are phenomenal and very informative from the beginning to the end. You get the feeling from the beginning that they love what they do. We have one amazing son from our first IVF round and we just received the exciting news that our second round worked and we are expecting our second baby in May. We are beyond blessed and forever grateful for all that Florida Fertility Institute has done for us. I highly recommend Dr. Sanchez to anyone who is interested in IVF.

Absolutely awesome. I had surgery 3 years ago and now I am pregnant when I wanted to be. He is amazing and will walk you through every process!

Dr Sanches was rude to my wife during her exam...he kicked out my 2 years old daughter because she started crying . he didn’t take our permission to have a student attend my wife vaginal ultrasound and shouted at my wife because she didn’t understand what he was saying ....he is arrogant and condescending. this was the worst experience we ever had in any doctor offices we’ve been to.save your money and go to someone who cares about what he is doing and cares about his patients.

We owe so much to Dr. Sanchez...he made our dream of a second child a reality and we will be forever grateful. We conceived our first healthy son naturally, but could not get and stay pregnant after years of trying for our second child. We originally sought treatment at another local practice which cost us a year of unsuccessful IVF treatments, heartbreak when we had NO healthy embryos to implant, no information on why this was happening and had spent over $50,000 out-of-pocket. We had little hope at this point, but Dr. Sanchez had a simple approach. He wanted time to review all of our records and to dig for the reason why this was happening before we embarked on any other treatments. From our first appointment he was open, honest and direct. He diagnosed my husband with a sperm motility issue, put him on some medication and we were pregnant naturally the NEXT month. Unfortunately, we had an early loss. BUT the very next month we were pregnant naturally again. I am now36 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy we will welcome into this world at the end of this month. We are forever grateful that Dr. Sanchez listened when others didnt, that he took the time to find the reason and came up with a simple and affordable solution. I know everyones story is different, but I wanted to share mine. Do not lose hope when dealing with infertility, but do find a medical practitioner that you trust who listens and treats conservatively. I only wish we had gone to Dr. Sanchez first. Best of luck to you all on your journey!

We saw Dr. Sanchez over the course of several months for treatment. He explained diagnosis and treatment options to us every step of the way. He was compassionate and funny. One visit we had to bring our 4 year old daughter( she was sick and out of school) and he even put cartoons on the TV while we had our consult and gave her a stuffed animal to keep. Yes he did have a resident in training with him; but i took that to mean he is knowledgeable enough to be teaching our future Drs. in the field. We are elated, after several miscarriages we are almost ready to have our miracle baby. I cannot thank Dr. S. enough! If you havent gotten the results, treatment or compassion from other Fertility Drs. then run, dont walking go see Dr. Sanchez!

I had a great experience with Dr. Sanchez office, my tubaligation reversal was a success, I felt very comfortable with Dr. Sanchez and every staff member, they were very nice and comforting. I had my surgery in August of 2016 and now on January 24, 2018 I found out that Im a week pregnant thanks to Dr. Sanchez and group.

I cant oraipr Dr Sanchez enough. We met him after 5 years and 5 rounds of unsuccessful IVF with another local group. I didnt really have any expectations for success or even new opinions about our situation, but during our first appointment I knew this was going to be a much different IVF experience. He was refreshingly direct and to the point. Answering our questions and reading our prior results with a fresh perspective and confidence. His direct approach to the medicines made sense and was ultimately the Most effective. In the end, our experience was great throughout the entire process, with the tests, office staff, appointments and especially the retrevial process. My husband and I finally got the sucessu we were searching for, our baby boy. Thanks to Dr Sanchez.

Will never return. Dr Sanchez always had a trainee with him and would always tell the trainee told you so at the end of all my appts. Not professional and appropriate for fertility appts. So when I went on for blood work the nurse took me back and said I needed to have a systic fibrosis test done, Im 36 have a 2 year old and 0 symptoms. So on my way back she gives me 3 pages to read and says I cant do your other blood work if you dont do this. So I asked if anything major in the 3 pages. No. So I sign. Come to find out its a $2,000 test and 99% of insurances dont cover it. So now I have a bill. When I called up the office, lady said I should have gone back in the lobby read all 3 pages and then went back in for blood work. Even though I sat in the lobby for 10 min waiting for my appt they could have given it to me then. I complained and said thats not right taking me back and not disclosing that 99% of insurances dont cover it and its a $2,000 test. They didnt care. Also my blood work showed I have a low egg count, he recommended IUI to start.....if I have a low egg count that wont work! I consulted with 2 other clinics and both said IVF is my only option because of my low egg count. Ive talked with several other wemon that have left his office also to similar issues.

Great experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable!!
