Dr. Aykut Bekir Bayrak, MD

Save your time and money and go to a different clinic. I had the worst experience with Dr. Bayrak and his office staff, particularly with the office manager, Stacey Harkins.

My husband and I went through a Trans-Atlantic IVF journey with Dr. Bayrak. As with any IVF, it was quite a challenging experience, and working with Dr. Bayrak made it as easy as it could get. Despite having done a few rounds in other clinics, we did not have a clear picture in our heads of what was going on. Initially, he did lengthy phone and Skype consultations with us to explain how the process works, and make sure that we fully understand what we are going into. This put us at ease and I think tremendously helped with the whole process. Dr. Bayrak was very detail oriented and meticulous about each step along the way. He carefully considered all options available, educated us and involved us in the decision making process, and guided us to success in as short a time as possible. He patiently (and repeatedly) answered all of our questions and never made us feel rushed or pressured into choosing a certain way. He was easily reacheable and available both during cycles, as well as… between cycles. Despite how challenging the IVF process is, it was delightful to work with him. I highly recommend anyone who is considering an assisted reproductive path (IUI, IVF, etc.) to work with Dr. Bayrak.

La Ivf Clinic has been one of the most pleasing experiences I’ve had with my Ivf experience Dr.Bayrak and the nurses always respond to my calls and emails right away. I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant with my first embryo transfer. The transfer was painless and took no more than 15 mins. Over all I’m very pleased with my experience at la Ivf.

Our experience with Dr. Bayrak and his team was fantastic all around. From our very first consultation we felt at ease and in good hands. He took the time to fully explain our available options, walk through medical history with us, and answer any questions we had. Information was clearly presented and we were never rushed and always felt like we had 110% of his attention. Both he and his staff were incredibly professional yet compassionate; they never made us feel like a number and were always accessible via phone call or email for any questions, concerns, etc. that arose. Further, when it came to appointments, they were incredibly accommodating – I live in Pasadena and work in the mid-Wilshire area, so I had my pick of which office was most convenient for me and I never had to wait or push to get an appointment when needed. I had no issues with the billing department and everything was always clearly explained. But most importantly, LAIVF was successful – I’m currently 24 weeks… pregnant. Dr. Bayrak and his team were very supportive during the initial first weeks of the pregnancy (and all the anxiety that comes during that time!), with regular blood work and ultrasounds. ‘Graduating’ to my OB’s office was really hard because I had developed some much comfort and trust in my experience that I didn’t want to leave. We highly recommend LAIVF and Dr. Bayrak for anyone going through this challenging and oftentimes, confusing process. He took something that was scary and made us feel excited about the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Bayrak and his staff. We were referred to him by my wife’s obgyn. From the first consultation, we felt like we were in good hands. We had been trying to conceive for several years and after some testing from several doctors, it was unlikely we would conceive without ivf. Dr. Bayrak answered our questions and laid out the procedure and pricing options clearly. He also upfront with our chances of success with the procedure. We did not feel rushed or pressured. After paying, the process started quickly. We were assigned to Sylvia who always got back to us with answers to any questions we had during the process. She was always very calm and welcoming, and always offered to show us how to administer new medications in office. Eventually, we did the transfer and it was successful! We are so grateful to Dr. Bayrak and his staff.

We were referred to Dr. Bayrak by a friend of ours who has had two successful pregnancies with him. We had been trying to conceive for about 2-3 years with no luck. We actually tried another local fertility center first, but to be honest, we felt more like a number than a person. Dr. Bayrak's consult gave us hope. He was honest and straight forward about our plan, and explained it in a way that we would understand. He always took time with us to answer our questions, and we never felt rushed. I felt like we were in great hands from the beginning. Staff and nurses were very sweet, yet professional, and very quick to follow up if I had a question via the phone or email. I felt like they had a true interest in our success. Their knowledge, care, empathy, and promptness made what can be a tough experience much easier for us to handle! Very impressed with LA IVF! I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with our first child thanks to LA IVF. I can't wait to see them again for baby #2!

After going to a different fertility doctor for six months my husband and I were recommended Dr. Bayrak by our obstetrician. Thank goodness we took that advice and switched doctors. Dr Bayrak noticed problems the first doctor didn't and gave us a completely different (less invasive, less expensive) course of care. It worked right away. After two years of trying and no answers to our questions Dr. Bayrak got us pregnant with the first round of IUI. We recently came back to Dr. Bayrak for our second pregnancy with the same fast results. My only regret is not going to see Dr. Bayrak sooner.

I had a wonderful experience with LA IVF Pasadena and in particular with Dr Bayrak! We initially starting seeking fertility help after going through multiple miscarriages and a partial molar pregnancy. We were so ready for answers and so desperately wanted to have a second child. Dr Bayrak was very informative, walking through and explaining to us all the different possibilities of what could be causing our issues with recurrent miscarriages. He not only explained the possible causes, but also walked through the solutions to each of the causes... including explaining the IVF process. After our consultation we decided to go ahead with the genetic/chromosome &blood testing in the hopes we'd find some answers. As an unexpected turn I fell pregnant again on our own before our next appt, with our genetic/blood work coming back completely normal. Dr Bayrak upon finding we were pregnant instantly made sure we were monitored and in good hands. At a separate OBGYN office I had my… progesterone levels tested which ended up coming back normal. However, I received a call from Dr Bayrak's office the next day saying they have already put in the order and want me to start progesterone right away. I explained my test results came back normal, so there shouldn't be any need. (Mind you the OBGYN office had told me I won't need progesterone) But the nurse said Dr Bayrak insisted I go on it just because of my history with miscarriages. I asked them the effects of progesterone, and if it will forcefully keep a baby that has genetic problems even if it's meant to go. They explained even too much progesterone wouldn't be a problem and that if it was meant to pass it would. However if it was a viable/healthy baby, the added progesterone would just support the pregnancy and give that added boost of nutrients the baby needs from the placenta. So the order went in and I was ready to pick it up the next day. I feel so blessed that Dr Bayrak took charge and used his expertise in the field.... because that very next morning before I could pick the progesterone up I started spotting.... 5 weeks 3 days.... like clockwork. That was how far along I'd miscarried with my previous most recent pregnancies. I 100% believe I would've lost this baby if it weren't for Dr Bayrak putting that progesterone order in without even knowing my progesterone level test result from the other OBGYN office. He didn't even know I'd had an appt there. Dr Bayrak's bedside manners are wonderful! He always makes sure to answer any questions you have in depth, and makes you feel very comfortable and attended to. I felt in very good hands. He insisted I come every week for an U/S, and I truly believe this is the care I needed/ will need in the future during the 1st trimester's of other pregnancies I have. The staff are great and on the ball too. Couldn't recommend a better place for your fertility needs. I was just discharged today at 9 weeks 4 days along and will continue seeing a regular OBGYN from now on. I'm still on progesterone and will continue taking it up to 12 weeks. Definitely a huge thumbs up for Dr Bayrak and his staff. We thought we were going to have to go down the IVF route, but we feel very fortunate that we were in the very best hands! Will definitely be going back here for my future pregnancies! Thank you Dr Bayrak!!

Dr. Bayrak and his staff are fantastic. We experienced great care from them and would highly recommend you see them for any fertility challenges. Dr. Bayrak explains things very carefully to you, in a way that is comforting and educational. He instilled a feeling of hope and optimism during this challenging time. We had lots of questions come up through the process and he was always a quick email away. Each staff member was caring and supportive during our visits. It made the process a much warmer one. With the expertise and guidance from him and his staff we are happy to announce we are expecting our first child!!!!
