IVF Hawaii

Our infertility journey began 4 years ago. After trying for a year unsuccessfully, we started to look around for IVF clinics. We chose IVF Hawaii due to the great reviews as well as our OB’s recommendation.
In the 4 years since that we’ve been with IVF Hawaii, we’ve udergone 4 rounds of IVF. 2 resulted in pregnancies, but unfortunately miscarried. 2 were unsuccessful. There were many tears and moments of frustration, and we wondered if we’d ever get to have the little family we’ve always dreamt of having. Dr. Chun was thorough and looked at every possible option. He finally recommended a laparoscopy to rule out a mild case of endometriosis as a cause of the miscarriages in preparation for another round of IVF.
And whether or not that was the cause, a month later before preparing for the IVF process, I found out I was pregant… NATURALLY. Dr. Chun wanted us to come in and 6 weeks later we saw a beautiful beating heart for the first time ever! 9 months later as I’m typing this review, my beautiful, healthy son is wiggling away in his bassonette!
Ultimately, in our case, while IVF per se wasn’t the direct cause of our son, I truly believe IVF Hawaii in general was. Dr Chun, Loreen and the staff are extremely. I mean, EXTREMELY professional in every sense of the word. You walk in there and you just have this sense that this clinic knows what they are doing and our on the ball.
Dr. Chun. What can I say about this man. He reminds me of those martial arts sensei’s. His hands are top notch and his skill in surgery and embryo transfers are probably the best on the island. There is NO ONE I’d trust more than him. His bed side maners take a little getting used to at first, but ultimately you realize this man truly, truly wants nothing more than for all of his patients to succeed. I don’t believe and never got the sense that money was a motivating factor in any way. I will NEVER forget the look on his face when he finally discharged us from his care after monitoring our son. I swear that man shed a tear!
Loreen, the RN at IVF Hawaii is another person we owe a lot too. She is strict, stern and to the point. She doesn’t mess around, and quite frankly that is how it should be. There is a schedule and a reason things are done the way they are. Her goal is to prepare you to be in the best situation for whatever procedure, whether IVF, IUI or whatever, you’re about to undergo. There is a incident with her that may seem small, but meant so much to us. One of our two miscarriages happened over the weekend and we didn’t know what to do. We called Loreen and she guided us as to what to do and where to go. She followed up with us that day and the days following to see if I was ok. She gave words of support and sympathy, and while that may not seem like much, you have to understand how much she works and she still took the time out of her off her day off to check in on us. It’s a small gesture that leaves a big impression.
So with all that said, anyone looking for an RE and an IVF clinic, I would not hesitate to recommend talking to IVF Hawaii. Professional, but caring. Great people, great staff and I truly felt like they wanted to help us to concieve rather than treat us like another business transaction. If we have trouble with baby #2, we have no hesitations about visiting them again. None.
As for now, my husband, myself and baby RJ give IVF Hawaii 6 thumbs up!!!

Dr. Benton Chun is top notch. He made it happen for me along with Lorene and the rest of his staff. I have severe endometriosis which has blocked my fallopian tubes completely. Also, when my eggs were collected, I didnt have alot of eggs which was worrisome but… I got pregnant and had a baby girl. I’m so thankful for IVF Hawaii.

There are families out there that take for granted having children. They have an easy time getting pregnant and don’t think twice about it. Then there are the families that need help — my wife and I were one of the families that needed help. If you want to have babies and need help this is the place for you. There is no doctor I trust more to take care of my wife than Dr. Chun. The many disappointments that i’m sure you have felt will pale in comparison to the joy of having a baby in your arms. We have two beautiful babies that have brought a feeling so happy that words just can not describe. We owe that all to Dr. Chun, Lorene, Cyndi, and staff. If you are here trying to decide if IVF is for you — you have picked the right Doctor and staff to make your dream of having babies come true.

My husband and I had a difficult time getting pregnant. We were so lucky to have Dr. Chun as our doctor. Its never easy to go through all of this but throughout our time with Dr. Chun he was always positive and optimistic even when at times I was not. He was very compassionate and caring when I needed it the most. He was always patient with me and always made time to listen to my concerns. I always felt I was in the best hands. During all the procedures I went through, I was always nervous but he always helped to put me at ease. Throughout everything he was a great and caring doctor.
Not only was he great but his staff was great too. Lorene, Genevieve, Cindy & Marcy were always so nice and friendly. They were always patient and answered any of our questions.
On our last appointment with Dr. Chun, he was so happy for us and let us know that if we had any questions, we could always ask. I figured that was the last time I would see him but the day after I gave birth, he came by our hospital room to say congratulations. It was so unexpected but very nice of him to visit us even though I am no longer his patient. We will be forever grateful for Dr. Chun and his staff for everything. Without his help we would not have been blessed with our babies. Thank you so much for making our family complete!

Coming from a spouse’s/father’s point of view, IVF Hawaii and their entire staff are hands down the best at what they do. The entire process of in vitro is as complicated and specific as you can imagine, but IVF Hawaii makes the process manageable for both husband and wife because there was no way my wife and I could remember everything we needed to do. They answered all my questions with sincerity, gave me the best possible advice, and most of all never gave up on us.
My wife and I had numerous failed attempts but with every failure, the staff comforted us as if we were a part of their own family.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dr. Benton Chun made every effort, and I mean EVERY effort, to be there for us for the entire process and through the birth of our child. He has a great way of balancing being strict and comforting at the same time. My wife and I always knew he meant business, but would always have time to hear our concerns and make us feel at ease either with an opinion or with a laugh.
Last, but not least, the staff was Outstanding! We personally dealt with Lorene, Cindy, Genevieve, Pauline, and Marcy, but they have more personnel and they all have a part and they all do their part well. They make IVF Hawaii run like a well oiled machine!
After 4 years, numerous IUI’s, and numerous attempts of in vitro, my wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl this past March… and of course, Dr. Chun was there to deliver her! And, if we ever have another child, we will definitely choose IVF Hawaii to be a part of that journey with us again!

My wife and I had tried to get pregnant on our own; however, we were unsuccessful. So, a friend recommended that we go to IVF Hawaii and meet Dr. Chun for a consultation. From our first visit to the last, Dr. Chun and his staff were very professional and extremely helpful. They helped us in every aspect possible (e.g. processing paperwork for our medical, helping us get the necessary medication). To go through this process is not an easy one (emotionally, financially, mentally) and Dr. Chun and his staff helped us though it all. Without the help of IVF Hawaii we would not be the proud parents of a baby boy (6 lbs. 14 oz. 20 ½in.)! Thank you! We are forever grateful!

Here’s the deal: if you want to have a baby and it hasn’t happened for you yet, then go to see Dr. Chun and his phenomenal staff at IVF Hawaii. The numbers speak for themselves: Dr. Chun’s success rates are the best in the islands; likely because he has special training and runs his own lab.
What the numbers won’t tell you is that Dr. Chun and his awesome crew (Lorraine, Cindy, etc) are the most caring and professional team that you could hope for. Dr. Chun takes a personal interest in you and will do whatever it takes to help you realize your dream of having a child. Words can’t adequately express how good he is at what he does. And, Dr. Chun’s amazing staff make a complicated process absolutely manageable and are always there to answer questions and support you. My only regret is that we didn’t go to see them earlier!
We put our trust in IVF Hawaii and Dr. Chun and are now expecting. Mahalo Dr. Chun!

Dr. Benton Chun, Dr. Kelly Yamasato, Lorene, Cindy, and their outstanding staff are the BEST :) I am so fortunate to have meant Dr. Chun. because of him I have 2 beautiful miracles today. From my first appointment with him he knew right away why I was experiencing complications getting pregnant. He took the time to explain what the issue was and what could be done and the necessary steps to take. No other Obgyn had done that for me. I felt so confident with him and his supporting staff. Words are not enough to express how thankful my husband and I are with all that he has done. This is a great place with great people who care and it shows. Big Mahalo’s to IVF HAWAII where dreams come true! :)

The numbers are out and IVF Hawaii is the best infertility clinic in Hawaii by a landslide and second best in the nation. Strong work IVF Hawaii!
Check out these amazing stats!!!
Finding the right infertility doctor can be a difficult decision, sometimes it helps to have the hard numbers.
I hope this helps.

I was referred to Dr. Chun by my PCP because I am having a hard time getting pregnant. My very first appointment and we were late! When we walked in I thought they were going to say «I’m sorry but you missed your appointment.» it was nowhere near that! The staff is extremely friendly and one of the nurses even scheduled my next appointment a little later because she also comes from mililani and understands how the morning rush hour traffic is. Awesome!
I nervously waited for Dr. Chun. When he walked into the room he automatically says something which makes me laugh! He’s such a great doctor, easy to talk to which is important in cases like mine and he eliminated all my anxiety.
I’m hoping he can become my regular OB/​GYN. My insurance plan (HMSA HMO) at the moment restricts me from going where I would like to go… I only have 1 year with Dr. Chun since my PCP put in a request with my insurance provider. I’m hoping there’s something else we can do so I may keep seeing him. The regular OB I was seeing seemed so careless the last time I went there. He was miserably sick and 3 hours late!

Dr. Benton Chun is exceptional in what he does. Not only him but his staff as well. They are on top of everything for your prenatal, OBGYN, IVF needs.
I was referred to him by my primary care physician to get the usual girly check up. He basically told me that I either am going to like him or I’m not. From those words alone I was scared to meet this guy. But why in the hell would my PCP refer me to this guy? He continued to tell me his first encounter with Dr. Chun while completing his residency. My PCP is very serious and straight to the point and tells me with his serious, straight face…“Dr. Chun is the best in the state”. My interpretation, Dr. Chun is the Master.
Finally the meeting and check up time had arrived. Not knowing what to expect by hearing my PCP’s story I expected him to come in breaking down doors barking all the things I should not do. It was totally not what I expected. He quickly made me feel at ease.
Fast forward to 4 months…
I took a home pregnancy test and it came out «Pregnant» Whooo!!! Dr. Chun confirmed the pregnancy and took care of me throughout the whole entire prenatal care. Another doctor works along side Dr. Chun named Dr. Kelly Yamasato, MD. The day of my C-​Section I was fortunate to get a package deal of both Dr. Chun and Dr. Yamasato which took AWESOME care of me.
I was told that when Dr. Chun gives orders people don’t jump, they run. Knowing that and go through my monthly to weekly prenatal check ups made me feel that I was in good hands. He definitely took care of me. Oh! and btw… He is listed as 1 of 397 Best Doctors in Honolulu Magazine’s June 2011 issue. Now that should be a confirmation as a GREAT doctor.
