FIRST IVF in Weston is a friendly and efficient clinic with caring staff. They offer IVF services with a high success rate. The clinic's communication and care are excellent.

I am so happy I found FIRST IVF in Weston! They are by far the best and most friendly fertility clinic in the South Florida area. I remember my first call with Debbie. I was so beat by the process, and she was sooo calming, reassuring, and her energy just immediately made me feel like I was in good hands. If you feel like it’s taking longer than expected to start your family, I would highly recommend reaching out to them sooner than later! They run a small operation which is exactly what I wanted. You are not just a number to them. They really listen to you, care for you, and treat you with the most kindness. The fertility journey is an emotional process, thanks to Dr. Selub, Debbie, Helen, James, Dr. Olu, and Amanda, it was way easier, and painless, than I could have expected. They run a tight organized ship, and within 3 months, I went from first consultation, to IVF, to positive pregnancy test. My family is forever grateful for the care we received. We will always hold a special place in our hearts for you! Love Cara and Josh
