Genesis Fertility Centre

After speaking to the front desk staff I was excited about my first appointment at what I assumed would be a friendly and warm clinic. I was gobsmacked by the rudeness of the doctor. I was left wondering if I had horribly offended her, if she judged me for my situation, or if she commonly interrupts patients mid sentence and blunty makes upsetting statements before getting the information a doctor would need in order to make those statements. In any other industry this style of communication would have you out of a job. I found the experience extremely upsetting. I came away feeling hurt and disgusted.

As I read the various 1 star and 5 star reviews, I say readers be aware. IVF is a complex process. Here is my story. I started IVF at 37 years old. I had 8 years of infertility, 2 stimulation cycles, 3 embryo transfers, 3rd embryo worked, 1 full term pregnancy, 1 healthy baby boy, and 1 more stimulation cycle, and preparing for next FET. I came to IVF with a war mentality, and Dr. Kashyap was and still is my General. She gave proper diagnosis and trouble shoot along the way. She is one of the smartest people I know, and smart people have a plan and execute on that plan. You also have to be an informed consumer. She has many patients to take care of (I didn't want a doctor who is not sought after) and her commitment is to create babies, that is a monumental task. She is simply the BEST at what she does. Even when the FET didn't work the first two times, I knew and trusted that everything can be done has been done. Did I worry yes, did I stress yes, and I knew she is my best shot. I have referred people in my life to her. I have been with her when the pregnancy test was negative and I have been with her when it turned positive. The one thing I know, she was always with me.

I tried IVF a few times before coming to Genesis. Both were unsuccessful, but Dr. Kashyap came up with a different plan to what was done before, which felt very personalized for me. Her confidence that I could get pregnant was very reassuring. Having only one doctor can be good and bad, but I found that Dr. Kashyap made me feel very comfortable and very happy. The nursing staff and Dr. Kashyap were all very kind and I always had a good experience throughout my cycle. I am now 8 months pregnant and looking forward to having my first baby! Thank you so much!!!

I am very happy with our experience at Genesis and recommend them to everyone! My husband and I were able to get in to our initial consultation quickly and were able to start the IVF process right away if we wanted - but did not feel pressured or rushed at all. We decided to go through with IVF the following month. The prices were all explained thoroughly and there was no hidden costs or financial surprises along the way. We had a 3 hour appointment with one of the nurses to learn about administering the medications etc and we left feeling super confident! When it came time to do our medications at home we knew exactly what we were doing and felt very prepared. All the staff are so great and caring and were always quick to answer emails and phone calls. Dr. Kashyap is extremely knowledgeable and I loved her conservative approach to keep me on the lowest doses of medications to get just the right amount of eggs - quality over quantity! The blood work and ultrasound appointments in the morning were so efficient and streamlined which was great! The onsite pharmacy was also super handy. What drew me to Genesis was that there was only Dr. Kashyap working there and not multiple doctors, so you are able to build a rapport with her and the whole experience feels much more personal and you are not having different opinions at every appointment. The nurses were all amazing. We built a great rapport with one of the nurses Kelsey as she was in the clinic almost every time we came in. Kelsey was so friendly, compassionate and caring and always able to calm any of my worries that I had or address any issues! Nurses Lisa and Ruby were also so great to deal with! All of our embryos ended up being 4AA quality and our first fresh embryo transfer was a success, I am now 9 weeks pregnant and "graduated" from Genesis! We can't wait to come back in the future for our remaining embryos and are so happy we went with Dr. Kashyap and her team. Regardless of the outcome I would chose Genesis again and again! Thank you all to your team!

This review is long overdue. My husband and I were struggling with getting pregnant for years. We almost gave up but then decided to book an apt with Dr Kashyap to discuss my infertility. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She was able to figured out what the issue was and my husband and I were able to get pregnant. My baby is now 1 and we are so happy and grateful to Dr Kashyap and her team for making it happen. Thank you Genesis fertility for making our dream come true! We are now ready to try for our second baby and would not go anywhere else. Since my fantastic experience I have referred a number of friends. :)

Dr. Kashyap and her team did it!! With an AMH of 0.29ng/ml and three failed IVF rounds at two other clinics, I had all but lost hope to have a baby of my own, and started thinking about egg donation. Dr. Kashyap started with a very different approach. At previous clinics I was given full dosage, and but only ended up with one bad quality embryo, which failed on implantation. Dr. Kashyap’s strategy was to give me a much smaller dosage, that actually had a much better result: four grade A day-3 embryos. And the first implantation resulted in a pregnancy! Dr. Kashyap is very assertive, and modern in her approaches, and she also taking the time to understand your situation and create personalized plan. For example, the clinic that I was at before also to me not to exercise, which really had made my life miserable, while Dr. Kashyap said I could exercise since I only got 2–3 eggs anyways. I really like how Dr. Kashyap gives me very certain answers, because during that journey you can use some certain answers, otherwise you will go mad. I also liked that you know that it’s clear that you’re dealing with Dr. Kashyap the whole way. In other clinics they would swap out doctors to do egg retrieval, and another one to do implantation, so it would be impossible for them to understand your unique situation. Finally, I’d like to praise the nurse team at Genesis — they have been super nice and helpful. Going through IVF can be nerve-wrecking, but they are always patient to answer my questions. Their kindness had made my journey much more enjoyable. For women who have a specific problem, like very low ovarian reserve (POR) like me, you need doctors like Dr. Kashyap who takes the time to understand the peculiarities of your situation, prepares a suitable personalized plan, and confidently guides you through it. I am so glad that I finally found Genesis and Dr. Kashyap, and heartily recommend them to everyone!

I can’t say enough positive things about everyone at Genesis fertility clinic from the front desk, nursing team, embryologists and of course Dr. Kashyup herself. She is beyond brilliant and is so well researched and educated that I fully trusted her and I confident she would help us grow our family and the baby I dreamed of would one day happen. She helped me stay positive and to stay the course when it was really hard to do so. I did 3 IVF cycles and I appreciated that she tweaked my protocol each time which resulted each cycle in a better outcome than the last. I’m now finally pregnant with a PGT normal tested embryo and I’m feeling hopeful that this will be a successful pregnancy. Another thing I really like about Genesis is the personalized care you get from Dr Kashyup since at Genesis you won’t end up seeing other doctors like you do at the other Vancouver Clinics. Many of my friends at other clinics really dislike how they don’t have one doctor following their care and instead they see a different doctor for each procedure. At Genesis, Dr. Kashyup always knows my case well and is prepared for my visits. I truly believe Dr Kashyup cares about me and all of her patient’s outcomes and tries her hardest to make all of us parents!

We were recommended to Dr. Kashyap through a friend of mine who ranted and raved about how amazing she is/was. Our entire time with her and her team was VERY disappointing to say the least. Poor Poor Bedside Manner, Poor communication and poor direction when taking tests we paid over $600 for. We would probably already have a newborn if it was not for the incompetency and lack of professionalism of mostly all in this clinic. To the nurses team, lab team, directors and the actual Dr I would NOT Recommend this clinic to ANYONE. We are near the end of our Journey and have dropped this clinic and moved onto PCRM, where they treat you like a HUMAN.
