Arizona Center For Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility

My husband and I were seeking out help for infertility. Dr. Gelety and his team are so friendly and excellent at what they do! The nurses and staff answer any questions I have and always make sure to keep me in loop if theres anything to know. Dr. Gelety is great at what he does, appointments are quick and theres never any wait time! Ive always been seen within 10 minutes of check in, and of course lets not forget Dr. Gelety got us pregnant after just 2 cycles working with him!!! He knew exactly what we needed and didnt hesitate to act on that and get me any procedure we wanted, and needed for initial evaluation. We are so grateful and will continue to work with him for future children too. Thank you Dr. Gelety!!!!

Did I mention that this is a reproductive facility?!? A place women go when they already feel defeated.I didn't proceed with my appointment & I would be lying if I said I walked out. I was forced to leave as I was extremely upset with how the doctor acted & his nurses. Despite the ability to not agree, he was rude, cowardly & is not someone I would trust and I will make sure every women is warned.He might be one of the few fertility doctors in the area But you have options. Don't be so quick to support a doctor that wont support you.

Click on "8 other reviews that are not currently recommended" at the bottom of the Yelp page. The reviews seem well written and there is no reason Yelp should exclude most of them, other than the clinic hires legal and technical companies to try and hide their bad reviews. If you carefully search the reviews and read all of the reviews available online, you will see that there is more going on with this doctor than his incompetence as a Reproductive Endocrinologist. He has had lawsuits, many complaints to the medical board and many women and couples who have been dissatisfied with his unprofessional conduct.At first I thought the poor reviews were simply women who were unhappy with not becoming pregnant. When I visited their office, it was dirty. They were understaffed. The doctor looked like he was holding back rolling his eyes at me when I asked him questions. The office seems to dictate what type of care and diagnosis they will give you based on your budget, ability to pay or insurance benefits. I don't think Dr. Gelety, even with decades of experience, has any idea how to properly diagnosis infertility. He doesn't care what caused your infertility or have any advice on how to naturally improve or correct your infertility. If he is getting paid, he is willing to be patient, but ultimately, I feel like all he wants to do is push IVF.I could hear Dr. Gelety yelling on the phone while I was waiting for my visit. I don't know who he was talking to, but he was loud, rude, condescending and it was honestly, just scary that he didn't care that patients could overhear his demeanor. This man is rude.Can anyone recommend a good RE that takes Tricare?I'm not sure if I can go back to this guy. The nurse seemed to care, but the office seemed understaffed, confused, messy, grungy and disorganized. It looks like the doctor tries to see too many patients. I don't know if I want my future family to be in the care and hands of this place. "amanda m" thanks for sharing your story.Please contact me directly through yelp if you've had a good experience or bad experience with Dr. Gelety. I'm on the fence.

I called the nurse and she told me to take the medication that I was given which was three different kinds at the same time even when I was ovulating. When I finally got to speak with the doctor he told me "no I was only supposed to take the Clomid" so that ruined my first cycle And these medications are not cheap with no insurance. My second cycle success!! but sadly it up an ectopic pregnancy 7 1/2 weeks. Regardless we still went back to him this year. 2017 We trust him, we like him, and he just gives off that vibe that he really cares However, I feel that SOME of his nursing staff and some of his receptionist need to step up their personal relation skills just a little bit more and be more in sync with the doctor. In my opinion if not under constant guidance they think they know the answers that we need to ask the doctor specifically. One receptionist was really rude to My Husband and didn't want to schedule an appointment before my cycle started which was in just a few days. She would've had me scheduled after my cycle day three, so therefore I would not of been able to take my Clomid that month. The second receptionist that we spoke to said "come on in and if you're a little bit late that's fine." Seeing as how all we needed was a refill. We had one but waited a year before going back to Gelety so the pharmacy said " sorry, it's been to long you have to see the doctor." We were just getting the prescription refill. Gelety came in and when I explain the situation he was very nice polite said" no problem" ‍ Wrote me the prescription for Clomid and told me to come back in a couple weeks due to the risk of the ectopic pregnancy. I HIGHLY recommend this man to any man & woman or couple that are trying to conceive a baby. He will not stop till you get that baby, that's attitude I got from him. I've had two boys 16 & 12. So he checked my husbands sperm count & mobility and said " I can't express enough how high of a count you have and great mobility- he was just as excited as we were!!! Because I have no female problems he thinks clomid is the way to go. We trust him. Just wish the ultra sound cost could be lowered for those paying cash on a sliding scale income. That would be generous & selfless of him. . The Walkers Doctors experience: Gelety really cares. I genuinely believe that he wants to help people that are have infertility problems, that he's not in it just for the money.. I hope in the future that he considers help with those that have no insurance and are paying cash that he would please possibly do a sliding scale fee on Ultra Sounds( basic check ups) ‍ He is noninvasive, easy to get along with, gets excited for you, shows compassion when you you're upset. Your first appoint be ready to anwser a lot of questions. WRITE THESE ANSWERS down and take them in with you to be prepared FOR HIS QUESTIONS . *Know your cycles & right them down. *Date of last menstrual flow. *How long have you been trying under 40 ( a year or two with no success he'll help) Over 40 if in 6 months no success go see him) *Write down how many days between each menstrual flow. *After your period ends but before it begins is your luthal phase, write down how many days that is. Because he *NEEDS* this info & no sense in waisting time on your consult. Come prepared. *How many pregnancies? *How many live births? *Ages? *Any miscarriages, abortions or ectopics? He don't judge. *Coffee ( how much?) *Alcohol,( how much?) *Smoking ( how much) *Drugs ( what kind?) *Any family history you feel may be important and if you've ever been diagnosed with endometriosis? *A medical background of ovarian cyst? The more you write down and take with you to see him with you the quicker the consultation and the better he can help you! With your accurate honest notes, just don't forget to bring them in lol

Great doctor, very rude front desk personnel. It's sad because the customers in this kind of business are going through stressful situations already & you would at least expect excellent customer service but it is quite the opposite at this office. The sad part is the front desk personnel are the 1st people you deal with & before you even see the doctor, you're not happy from the treatment you have received already & just want to leave. That's exactly how I was made to feel during my last visit & that cost them a once happy customer. I will try somewhere else where customers are appreciated & treated with dignity & respect. Thank you!

I am writing this review with a very heavy heart. I really wish I was giving AZ Center for Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility 5/5 stars, but unfortunately, since they have forever changed my life for the worst I cannot.My fiance and I went to AZCREI February 2014. At the time, I had just discovered that I had Endometriosis. We wanted to see if anything else would effect our fertility so for a few weeks we went back and fourth from Mesa to Tucson. They ran a few tests on me and my fiance. Ultimately we discovered that my fiance's sperm count was "a little low" but it shouldn't effect our chances. I got off of birth control and we started trying. As soon as I got off of the birth control, the Endometriosis cause me lots of pain. We kept trying for months and months all while i was in debilitating pain. Finally when I couldn't handle it anymore I had excision surgery for Endometriosis. I was so confident that right after this surgery we would get pregnant. After surgery my surgeon told me that my fallopian tubes were clear and we should try conceiving again because we had the best chance at that time. We tried and tried again. No pregnancy. Finally I began to be in pain again so I got back on birth control to suppress the Endometriosis. I called AZCREI to get my records so we could bring them to another doctor to look over. I had to call multiple times to get them mailed to me because they had been placed in the 'wrong place' a few times. When I finally received my records I was shocked. Without going into too much detail, we wouldn't have been able to conceive on our own. We have had two other fertility doctors look over our records and they both have said the same thing. With the lack of information this may have completely ruined our chances of ever conceiving. If we had know this information originally we would have been able to try IVF, i wouldnt be suffering as much and surgery could have been put off for a little while longer...but now we have more factors in our way. AZCREI has ruined the biggest dream that we have ever had and has set us so far back that we may never get another chance at this. Please do not go to AZCREI! Its not worth the hundreds of tears and broken dreams.PS: their office had called me tonight asking when I would be there to pick up my records.........I received them about a month ago. This place needs to be more organized, but that is the least of their problems.

Dr. Gelety has never spent more than 10 minutes at a time with me. He walks in, does his thing, and walks out. I have to ask when do I schedule my appointment, what did you see or the results, what's the plan, etc. He never once communicated to me.Then, another time on the phone he failed to check my records before calling me and we got into a disagreement about the medicine he wanted to prescribe, even though he had not expressed to me the month before that he had a problem with it and he gave it to me then. He then responded with flippant attitude 'Oh good' when asked why I was no longer seeing my previous fertility doctor. He had 'suspicions' that something might be going on but never even offered to do testing for it. Dr. Gelety doesn't care anymore. He needs to retire.

If you wanna be treated like a statistic and possibly be abandoned this is the place. They abandoned me as a patient after I spent 3500+ on meds and had the audacity to ask about taking vitamins and hormone tracking as I have irregular periods. Ghosted over an email with questions. The nurse was fake nice enough and the only time her facade cracked was when I would ask her questions she wasn't ready to answer or I'd ask questions over and over since they wouldn't answer or address my concerns. Her response was always the same and very rehearsed... I didn't have a problem with it until I realize she didn't have any real answers. Dr. Gelety was nice enough, answered all my questioned, didn't quite assuage my curiosity registering my weight or my irregular periods. Both he and the nurse just basically ignored and never acknowledged that I even asked or said anything about it. He did an ultrasound the first appointment which I thought was only a consult but no... they wanted to rush me thru the procedure. Offered very little guidance outside of meds and the scheduling to harvest. They weren't really concerned with my concerns just getting me thru the procedure. The nurse told me that it was annoying to have to help patients with their shots and that's when I started feeling uneasy. ... I have a traumatic past with needles as a kid so I asked a lot of questions. Her answers were unhelpful. She forgot to fake smile because this was probably the third time in a half hour period I asked about the shots. I don't like having to explain my traumas(and I didn't) but I needed to know the exact process and the side effects and yaddayadda. So anyway now I have wasted all the money on meds. And have terrible anxiety about going to other clinics and asking questions because it's hard enough to get any doctor to listen to me as it is... I gotta go and pretend like this traumatic nonsense never happened.

To say the least undergoing IVF is extremely exhausting. But to have a team like Dr.Gelety's makes everything so much more easier. They care about their patients and our outcome they truly are invested in your treatment. The IVF nurse would answer my questions on the weekend, after working hours she was always there for me and for that I am forever grateful.

Dr. Gelety and his team are amazing! They were upfront about what my options were, there were no hidden costs, they were fast yet efficient. If it weren't for them I would never have my two beautiful babies that I do have. They were always understanding and caring. I honestly don't have one bad thing to say about this clinic!
