WH & EH, September 2021

THANKFUL & BLESSED FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL MIRACLE BABY GIRL. IVF HAWAII MADE IT POSSIBLE AND WE’RE FOREVER GRATEFUL. 

In July 2020, my husband and I decided to consult IVF Hawaii to start our IVF journey after having an emergency surgery because of an ectopic pregnancy in February 2020. Dr. Chun was by my side and performed the successful emergency surgery. Following my procedure, each visit felt so comfortable, positive, hopeful and safe. As we began the IVF process we didn’t know what to expect but Dr. Chun was so thorough, nurturing and knowledgeable that we knew we were in great hands. He also made us laugh at every appointment, which made the process that much easier for us. 
 
The IVF process was smooth, comfortable and felt so quick. October 2020 came around and we found out we were pregnant! We took all their advice and put our trust in their expertise and it was successful. Our first few appointments were with Dr. Chun then I started to see Dr. Beair who would be delivering our baby. She’s absolutely amazing! I felt so comfortable with her gentle and calm demeanor. I looked forward to every check up. July 2021 came around and Dr. Beair delivered our beautiful baby girl.  
 
From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank the amazing staff at IVF Hawaii. Dr. Chun, Dr. Beair, Lorene, Cyndi, Gen, Kristy, Marci and staff genuinely care for their patients like family. The entire staff is so personable and we enjoyed seeing and conversing with them at every appointment. We highly recommend IVF Hawaii.”

THANK YOU FOR BEING MIRACLE WORKERS WHEN THERE WERE SO MANY ODDS AGAINST US.

"This thank you is long, long overdue and for that we apologize. We’ve had a thank you planned out for quite a while, but every time we sat down to write it, we couldn’t think of the right words to express how grateful we are. We still don’t know the right words, but we can say that not a day goes by that we aren’t thankful for the miracle rainbow daughter we have been fortunate to have, thanks to your stern expertise.

As we reflected on our journey, we did not forget that our beautiful miracle was created with the help of the IVF HAWAII family. Thank you for being miracle workers when there were so many odds against us and so many hurdles and obstacles in our path. Through it all, your positive attitudes and optimism always kept us hopeful, even though things didn’t always go as we had hoped.  

Dr. Chun, Dr. Beair, Lorene, Gen, Kristy, Cyndi and Marci, thank you for all the care, support, encouragement and compassion. People come into our lives for a reason, and we’re so very grateful all of you came into ours. There are not enough words to thank for giving us the greatest gift of our lives, but two simple words, xie xie."

THE RESULTS WE ACHIEVED WERE NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE.

"It's hard to put into words how much Dr. Chun and his team have done for our family. The results we achieved were nothing short of a miracle. Dr. Chun and the IVF Hawaii team have now successfully helped us bring two beautiful baby boys into the world with this second pregnancy. The journey has been long and difficult. Dr. Chun may be considered strict but it is impossible to argue with the results. He is always honest, firm, and kind. He absolutely cares about his patients and their well-being. We owe everything to him and his team for helping us complete our family. I strongly recommend anyone who needs help expanding their family to consider Dr. Chun and IVF Hawaii."

T.M, 2021
YOU COULD FEEL THEIR GENUINE HAPPINESS FOR US. 

"After years of attempting to conceive naturally, we decided to look into IVF. We met with a couple of doctors and ultimately decided to move forward with Dr. Chun and IVF Hawaii. From our first our initial visit, the team at IVF Hawaii provided world class service and reassured us that we were not in this journey to parenthood alone. Their team eased our worries, gave us motivation, and truly became a pleasure to see throughout our appointments.  

The entire team Dr. Chun, Dr. Beair, Cyndi, Lorene, Gen, Marci, and Kristi have always been so patient, caring, empathetic, and loving throughout our entire journey. During difficult appointments they would ease our anxiety and give us the support we needed. When we became pregnant, you could feel their genuine happiness for us. They always made us feel so special and supported us through the entire process. Even though we had a lot of questions and concerns, they always took the time to listen and thoroughly explain things so never felt rushed or that we were just another patient. 

We are so grateful for all that they have done for us and made us feel like family to them."

L.O & S.O 2020

THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE.

" It is difficult to even begin to articulate our gratitude for Dr. Chun and the team at IVF Hawaii for helping us become parents to our beautiful and healthy baby girl. After three devastating losses my husband and I thought our dreams of becoming parents would never come true. With fear and apprehension in our hearts we began looking into Fertility Specialists and Dr. Chun’s name was number one on our list after talking to friends and family who had also struggled with infertility. 

We first met with Dr. Chun in December and although it was quite overwhelming, Dr. Chun and Lorene took the time to listen to all that we had gone through, answer all of our questions and made sure we understood what our next steps were. When we left his office we knew we were working with the best team and we were one step closer to making our dreams come true. 

While going through the testing, preparation, egg retrieval and the transfer Dr. Chun, Lorene and the nurses were always so very supportive, patient, and gentle. They always took the time to answer all of my questions, address my concerns, and explain where we were in the process and what our options were. 

We are so very grateful for Dr. Chun, the nurses and everyone IVF Hawai’i. We have dreamt of being parents for so many years and they were able to make our dreams come true. "

  • Highly recommend

    Thanks to Dr. Chun and his wonderful staff for helping us with our wonderful baby girl!


    With the first consultation with Lorene, we were initially swamped with the info she provided. But she did well to explain everything and help us understand and calm any fears we had with the whole process. 


    After looking through our history with another IVF group, Dr. Chun helped us understand that we will move quickly because there was no need to continue the unsuccessful treatments they were doing. Within the first few examinations, he was optimistic that things will go well and everything looked good. He didn’t waste any time getting things accomplished. 


    The most difficult part of the entire process was keeping track of the pills, shots and schedules. Because Dr. Chun has been doing this for years, he has setup everything so it’s easy to follow. With the calendar and taking everything one step at a time, it helped kept us from making mistakes or feeling overwhelmed. Lorene and staff work really hard to ease any fears and answer all the questions we had. It was always a pleasure working with everyone. 


    I would highly recommend Dr. Chun and the wonderful staff at IVF Hawaii to anyone. Thanks again for the joy you’ve brought into our lives.

    I recommend IVF HAWAII to any couples out there who is longing for a child but can't do it naturally.


    Everyone has their own journey and here is ours:


    My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for a few years and we didn't have any luck conceiving naturally so we looked into getting some help. Our friends told us about IVF Hawaii and we decided to go this route. Dr. Benton Chun is strict, professional, caring, and very knowledgeable in this specialty. He will let you know step by step what is going on every step of the way. My advice is to "trust the process and trust him and his team" and do not rush because Dr. Chun will do his best to give you a successful transfer. In our case, our process was lengthy, but it was worth the wait, because our ivf took on the first try. You can't have a great doctor without his great team! The staff at IVF HAWAII is awesome!!!! Shout out to Lorene, Gen, Christy, Marcy, Carol and Cyndi for all your friendly conversations, great patient care and endless support. Let's not forget to mention Dr. Jennifer Beair, our awesome OBGYN that delivered our beautiful healthy baby boy. She is fantastic, personable, skillful and very caring.


    Overall, I recommend IVF HAWAII to any couples out there who is longing for a child but can't do it naturally. You'll be in great hands and the staff at IVF HAWAII will take great care of you. Don't be afraid you are not alone; you have the whole ivf Hawaii team. Again, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the IVF HAWAII for your positive energy and always being there for support and guidance. We literally couldn't have had our little boy without your help! IVF HAWAII you helped us grow our family by two tiny feet and we couldn't be any happier. See you soon on our next round of IVF."


    Love always,

    -- B.P. C. O, July 2020


    " It has been almost 6 months now and I still don't have the right words to express the deep gratitude that we have for Dr. Chun, Dr. Beair, Cyndi, Lorene, Marci, Gen, and Kristy at IVF Hawaii. Everyone at IVF Hawaii treated us like family. We never felt like we were getting a one-size fits all regimine. And, I'll never forget the first appointment after we delivered our daughter. I walked into the office to the biggest smiles and most joyful congratulations. You could feel the genuine joy and happiness because they were on our journey too. They weren't just watching it from the sidelines. They were in it with us. They invest in their patients, just as you are investing in your family's future, and you feel it. There really are no words that adequately describe our appreciation for Dr. Chun and Dr. Beair. They gave us the best gift in the world and made our biggest dream a reality. 


    We arrived at IVF Hawaii after unsuccessful attempts at another fertility clinic. I was discouraged and mentally, physically, and spiritually drained. We had heard that Dr. Chun was the best and very direct. I needed this. I didn't want to be chasing rainbows and unicorns with a false sense of hope. From our first appointment, I knew this was the place for us. We felt at ease because of the confidence that Dr. Chun emoted. He is so knowledgeable and experienced and he guided us through the process and laid out his expectations. We felt that he cared. We felt comfortable. We felt that this is the right place for us.


    Dr. Chun put us on a path for success and we followed his lead. We knew that it wasn't a guarantee but we also knew that this was going to give us our best shot and we trusted him. He was indeed very direct but also compassionate, funny, and warm. He makes you feel reassured that even when things aren't exactly perfect, that it's going to be ok. 


    When we found out we were pregnant, it was the best news of our lives! We didn't have an OB at that point but he suggested that we go to Dr. Beair who was conveniently in the same office! Now right when you think that you can't find a better doctor than Dr. Chun, you meet Dr. Beair. Dr. Beair is flat out the best OB we could have found. Not to mention the sweetest human being on earth. We are lucky that she is our doctor. She was thorough and caring throughout our pregnancy. Given it was our first one, I probably had a million dumb questions but she took time to answer each one. Long story short, she confidently and calmly led me through a not so normal delivery of our precious baby girl. And, just like before the delivery, she held my hand patiently and walked me smoothly through a slightly bumpy recovery. Because of her thoroughness and preparedness, she made it possible for me to be here with my baby girl today and I will forever be thankful for her. 


    I would recommend IVF Hawaii a million times over and to my best friends and family! You need not look any further for the best. They are right here at IVF Hawaii."

  • Our journey to parenthood

    Life is unpredictable. And so was our journey to parenthood. After trying to have a baby unsuccessfully for over a year, we decided to explore our options and get some help. We met Dr. Chun through a referral. Our first meeting with him and Lorene was surprisingly comforting. You see, for us, and I’m sure many others, seeking assistance to have a baby is frightening in itself. Everyone at IVF Hawaii made us feel like family. Honestly, Dr. Chun’s staff is the best group of women (Lorene, Cyndi, Marcy, Gen, Christy, and Carol) you will ever meet! Accommodating, warm and kind are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind. We began our “program” which included carefully-timed medications and many ultrasound appointments. And after months of preparing…we got the call…it worked! We were pregnant with twin boys. It was the best time of our lives!


    The pregnancy was great. Then at 20 weeks gestation, my water broke while I was at home. I was rushed to the ER, we lost both boys. We were devastated. Our future was so full and now it was emptier than I imagined anything could ever be. It took us months to feel halfway normal again. But it was a new normal. We were childless parents. And we were determined to change that.


    Dr. Chun diagnosed me with an incompetent cervix; my cervix was too short to carry a pregnancy full term, this is why my water broke. Because of this, Dr. Chun used a procedure called a cerclage to support the weight on my cervix during pregnancy. We went through two more rounds of IVF and six months after we lost our precious sons, we found out we were pregnant again.


    We are now the proud…and very grateful…parents to a sweet little boy.


    There truly are no words to describe what Dr. Chun and his staff gave us. The ability, even after such a monumental loss, to have a healthy, happy son is a dream fulfilled. All cliché aside, IVF Hawaii really does make dreams come true. So, yes, life is unpredictable. But your choice to have a baby does not have to be.

      — KC & DC, June 2017



    We are grateful to Dr. Chun, Dr. Beair, Cyndi, Lorene and the staff at IVF Hawaii for their professionalism, care, support and love in our journey in welcoming our little one into the world! She just turned 3 months and I realized that I haven't written a review. We want to share our experience with others so they know how amazing they are!


    We feel that they are part of our ohana because we endured a lot and their concern and attention got us through it. We were successful in our goal of starting our family. Prior to IVF Hawaii we were unsuccessful with another clinic and suffered a miscarriage. Our family experienced the pain, struggle, and heartache that goes along with infertility and endometriosis.  


    Dr. Chun's expertise, knowledge, honesty, and humor was refreshing and so needed. At our first meeting, my husband and I knew that his confidence, candor, and strictness were some of the reasons for the favorable referral we received from a friend. She herself didn't see Dr. Chun, but others she knew did and they all swore the same thing - that he is the BEST! After feeling comfortable sharing my story with family, friends and some colleagues, I realized that there are so many people that have seen Dr. Chun and have such wonderful things to say. His questions and observations were on point and shows why he is a leader in his field! He will be strict with you about no sugar in your diet. LISTEN and don't ask for any exceptions like I did!!  


    Dr. Beair is sweet, caring and competent. We always feel at ease with her. Such a compassionate and attentive professional. After seeing Dr. Chun for the IVF process, I was hesitant to have someone else deliver our baby. However, he and Dr. Beair work so well together that we felt the constant care from both of them during our entire pregnancy. It's great that they are in the same practice/office so they can easily consult and confer with each other. Dr. Beair was so calm during the delivery that even though it was a stressful time, I can recall her smile and encouraging remarks and demeanor.


    Cyndi and Lorene were excellent in explaining the processes, calendars, costs and answering our questions. They were also very helpful with my doctors notes for work. I especially appreciated the attention they gave to us when we were in front of them. I know and have experienced other doctors' offices where I felt rushed or a bother.


    I had some bleeding at about 22 weeks and was recommended to do a cerclage which we did. I bled again 2 weeks later in which I was admitted to the hospital. Each month after that until I gave birth, I went to the hospital for bleeding. I was recommended to do progesterone shots which both my husband and I feel was responsible for us making it to 35 weeks. We were scared and anxious when the neonatologist came to have a conversation about the reality and risks if we gave birth that early. However, by the grace of God, prayers, continued care of all the staff at IVF Hawaii and Kapiolani MCWC we were able to give birth at 35 weeks and able to bring our little one home four days later!


    We highly recommend IVF Hawaii! We know the emotions that you are going through. Every family has their own journey to take but we wholeheartedly believe that IVF Hawaii is a wonderful team and hope that others will be able to experience the same guidance and blessing that we have. Our sincere appreciation and gratitude to IVF Hawaii!

  • With love and aloha

    Without a doubt this is a challenging period for families undergoing the IVF process, but Dr. Chun and his amazing staff always went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and a part of their family. After years of not being able to conceive, and nearly giving up, we were introduced to Dr. Chun. Words can't begin to express the level of professionalism, caring, kindness, and spirit of their 'ohana. Without a doubt this is a challenging period for families undergoing the IVF process, but Dr. Chun and his amazing staff always went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and a part of their family.  


    We are so grateful for the introduction to Dr. Chun, for the opportunity of working with him, for his utmost care and compassion, and for giving us the opportunity of welcoming our miracle baby! Never would we have thought that a toothless, constantly drooling, little man would make our hearts skip beats like this. Thanks to Dr. Chun and his wonderful staff, who will always be a part of our family, we fall in love over and over again.


    —With love and Aloha, K & B

  • No other place we would have chosen for this journey

    A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Chun and the warm and caring staff at IVF Hawaii for making parenthood possible for us. Through the ups and downs, stress and excitement, disappointment and joy, Dr. Chun and the IVF Hawaii staff were there for us every step of the way. IVF is not necessarily an easy road to parenthood, but through Dr. Chun's disciplined procedures, thorough information and feedback, step-by-step instructions and practice, and caring guidance, there is no other place we would have chosen for this journey. After 5 years of unsuccessful attempts on our own, within a year under Dr. Chun's care, we were pregnant and welcomed our perfect baby girl on May 15th, 2013. We are forever grateful to Dr. Chun and everyone at IVF Hawaii!

  • Perfect match

    We had our consultation appointment with Dr. Chun and knew immediately that he was a perfect match for us. Many people have the dream of finding the right person, getting married, buying a home, and starting a family of which, starting a family is supposedly the easy part...well for most people. To make a long story short, we had the odds against us due to many factors: one major factor being a genetic disease that could be passed on to our female children that would affect their quality of life. So with the recommendation of my best friend (who just so happened ended up being in the same cycle as we were - and blessed with twin girls) we had our consultation appointment with Dr. Chun and knew immediately that he was a perfect match for us. Going through the IVF process, Dr. Chun, Dr. Yamasato, and the staff at IVF Hawaii didn't treat us like patients, but like family. From trial runs for performing a pre-implantation diagnosis (PGD) on our embryos to writing a letter to our insurance carrier to assist on coverage of certain procedures, the entire staff did all in their power to make our dream of having a family come true. In March of 2012, our dream became a reality when we had our son. Not only were we blessed with our son, we were blessed in working with everyone from IVF Hawaii and Dr. Chun.

  • Proud parents

    You will not find a more knowledgable, informative, kind and compassionate physician than Dr. Benton Chun. I cannot say enough about IVF Hawaii! After undergoing a year of several unsuccessful IUI's I was fortunate enough to be referred to IVF Hawaii. I was approaching 40 and wanted to see a specialist that could pin point why I was having difficulty getting pregnant before it was too late! Dr. Chun did just that! Through him, I discovered I had endometriosis which was one of the contributing factors leading to my infertility. I also had low egg count due to my age. After treating the endometriosis and undergoing one round of IVF, the proof is in the pudding! On July 26th, we became the proudest (and luckiest) parents to our beautiful baby boy! You will not find a more knowledgable, informative, kind and compassionate physician than Dr. Benton Chun. He and his entire team really helped guide my husband and I through every step of our IVF journey. I would not hesitate to recommend him and we are forever grateful to him and his team!

  • Truly the best at what they do

    The staff at IVF Hawaii is very compassionate and is truly the best at what they do. After seeing another fertility specialist for several years without any success, we decided to seek help from Dr. Chun. When I met Dr. Chun, he was very friendly and easy to talk to. He was honest and took the time to really explain all our options to us. He really made my husband and I feel like we were all in this together. I knew then that my experience at IVF Hawaii would be different.


    Anyone who has gone through infertility would understand that it is both physically and mentally challenging to go through an IVF procedure. The dedicated staff, Dr. Chun, Dr. Yamasato, Lorene and Cindy went above and beyond to make sure my experience was as painless as possible. They were always there for me every step of the way. Even though the office is always busy, you never feel like you are being rushed out the door. They always take the time to answer all your questions and make you feel as though you are the only patient in the room.


    My first attempt at IVF was a success, but unfortunately, I suffered a miscarriage. I was devastated and felt like giving up but Dr. Chun, Lorene and Cindy were so supportive and understanding. They told me to take the time to heal and that they will be there for me whenever I was ready to try again. Several months later I called IVF Hawaii to let them know I was ready to try again. Everyone was so encouraging and positive throughout the entire process. I’m so glad we decided to give IVF a second try! We were blessed with healthy twin boys!


    Words can’t express how grateful we are for what Dr. Chun and his staff has given to our family. They never gave up on us. Our first son is so ecstatic to have not just one, but two baby brothers! The staff at IVF Hawaii is very compassionate and is truly the best at what they do. They are such a hard working and dedicated staff. They are our “Miracle Makers” and we will forever be thankful for all they have done for us!

    “My husband and I decided to seek help after failing to conceive naturally. We decided to go with Dr. Chun at IVF HAWAII. If I could give him 100 stars I would. 


    From start to finish, we received outstanding care from Dr. Chun and his entire staff. When I was told I needed IVF to get pregnant, I was devastated. Dr. Chun was so compassionate and supportive in what seemed like my darkest days. He answered every question and concern and explained everything in detail every step of the way. Every time he stepped in the room, he made us feel at ease, like we could trust him. 


    My journey has been mentally, spiritually, and physically exhausting, but Dr. Chun would tell me "Don't worry, we're going to get you pregnant". He gave me so much hope at a time where I needed it the most. We trusted him every step of the way, and he was right.


    Trusting him led us to two beautiful babies. Boy/girl twins. How do you thank someone who has given you everything you've ever wanted? For making your dreams come true. He gave us, what we thought was impossible. We will forever be indebted to him. He is our family now and we love Dr. Chun so much! 


    If you are having trouble conceiving, he is the one to go to. He is the absolute BEST! And if you’re looking for a knowledgeable and personable OB, Dr. Jennifer Beair, his associate is absolutely amazing! Our pregnancy was a difficult one and she provided excellent care from beginning to end. Always went above and beyond for my husband and I. She brought our two beautiful angels into this world. 


    Thank you Dr. Chun and Dr. Beair for changing our lives and making our dreams of becoming parents a reality. We love you guys so much!”

  • Don't waste your time on other doctors

    Dr. Chun made us parents. I'm still beside myself looking at my baby. I'm a mommy now!


    Dr. Chun helped with a necessary surgery of a hydrosalpinx and endometriosis problems. The staff at his office are efficient, on top of their game and I didn't have to micro-manage them. In fact, they told me what to do in detail and there were no guessing games. Dr. Chun and Staff was there for us every step of the way. He doesn't have to say much about his success because the proof is holding my baby in my arms. No other doctor. in this state could give that to me. They would just tell me to come in for appointments and unnecessary surgeries and say, "Okay, you're on your way to baby!" During my pregnancy I developed pre-eclampsia. I never had high blood pressure ever until this pregnancy. I received the highest level of care and monitoring to ensure the health and well being of my unborn child and myself. Dr. Chun was very comforting during the whole process of IVF, pregnancy, and beyond. Don't waste your time on the other doctors I tried here in Hawaii. Dr. Chun is "THE" doctor. He is wonderful at IVF, endometriosis problems, and infertility.


    So there is no need to waste your time, effort, money, and emotional health on the false hope of other doctors. I should know, I've been trying since 2007. It's now 2012 and I have my first child because of Dr. Chun. There would never be enough words expressed to thank him and his staff.

  • Rainbows start at IVF Hawaii

    We were impressed with Dr. Chun, his techniques, his knowledge of IVF and his staff. Rainbows start with IVF Hawaii . There are not words that can describe the feeling we have today after having two of our own children.


    For seven years my wife and I attempted to have our own children. We went through multiple unsuccessful IUI procedures and one unsuccessful IVF with three other clinics. I had accepted the fact that my wife and I would not have children of our own; my wife on the other hand did not give up. She found Dr. Chun's website and gave the office a call. We were impressed with Dr. Chun, his techniques, his knowledge of IVF and his staff. We listened to Lorene and Dr. Chun and followed their instructions. It wasn't easy, and we went through a whirl pool of emotions, no one should experience the pain we felt, though it all PAID OFF. On September 8, 2012, my wife gave birth to twins. Our first visit with Lorene was in March of 2011, eighteen months had gone by between our first visit and the birth of our children. It was not easy, though we could not have gotten through it without the staff at IVF Hawaii. IVF Hawaii, THANK YOU for everything.

    The process can be stressful but they guided us every step of the way! Dr. Chun and Dr. Beair are simply the BEST!!!

  • Going the distance

    You truly go the distance in the level of care that you provide your patients. I don't even know how or where to begin to thank you for everything that you have done for us as we embarked on this amazing IVF journey. Initially, I was hesitant and even fearful to even consider the thought of in-vitro fertilization in order to conceive, but upon meeting and talking with you and all your wonderful staff, my fears and doubts were greatly diminished. You had a way of putting me at ease and making me feel comfortable and in good hands, and that helped me to realize that I had found the doctor who was not only going to take great care of me, but also get me pregnant. You truly go the distance in the level of care that you provide your patients, and it's obvious that everything you do is very carefully thought out with the patient's own safety being the main priority. You are a true inspiration to us, and we are eternally grateful for all your help and expertise in seeing us through this life changing experience. We will never forget you.

  • Eternally grateful

    Throughout the entire process, the IVF Hawaii team was always very accommodating. After a year of trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant, I was told by my doctor that I was infertile due to endometriosis and referred to Dr. Chun. I was very distraught when I went for my initial consultation at IVF Hawaii thinking I may never have children. From the moment I stepped into the office, the IVF team of nurses was so welcoming and friendly and Dr. Chun was very positive about my condition. At the end of my first visit he asked me, "When you get on an airplane, do you stress about how you're going to get to your destination or do you trust that the pilot will get you there safely?" I responded that I trust the pilot, and then he told me that he's the pilot of this trip so I should stop worrying. Dr. Chun assured me that my endometriosis could be treated and my chances of conceiving were still very good, given my age (31). We began treatment right away, starting with surgery for my endometriosis, one unsuccessful IUI, and then IVF treatment. Luckily, IVF worked for us on our first try. We were pregnant within four months from our initial consultation with Dr. Chun and welcomed our little miracle on January 15, 2011. Throughout the entire process, the IVF Hawaii team was always very accommodating and understanding. Dr. Chun and his staff took the time to listen to our concerns, explain things as many times as necessary, and comfort and reassure us when things got difficult. We are eternally grateful to Dr. Chun and his dedicated staff for piloting our journey to parenthood.

  • More fertility success stories

    To anyone looking to start a family, call Dr. Chun and his IVF Hawaii team right away. 

    Thanks to Dr. Benton Chun and his team, we are finally parents to a beautiful little boy! We tried everything under the sun to have a baby during the past five years...yoga, acupuncture, herbs, relaxation trips, etc. No luck until we sought help from Dr. Benton Chun. He was highly recommended by a friend who got pregnant with her first IVF procedure. It didn't happen as quickly for us. It took 4 IUI and 4 IVF procedures before we got our precious little blessing. Throughout the whole process, Dr. Chun and his staff were extremely professional and efficient. They were warm and friendly at the same time. They always made us feel comfortable and accommodated our scheduling needs. From the office visits to the delivery room, we knew we were in good hands. We could've gone to other specialists after our failed attempts, but we stayed with Dr. Chun because we believed in him and we had faith that he would be able to help us. He did such a great job that I switched doctors and he is now my OBGYN. I now go to him and Dr. Kelly Yamasato for "regular" OBGYN matters. To anyone looking to start a family, call Dr. Chun and his IVF Hawaii team right away. They are the go-to fertility experts. Our only regret is that we didn't call them earlier.

    Dr. Chun did not sugar coat the facts, but always remained positive. 

    "You just need to believe." Those were the profound words of wisdom that Dr. Chun shared with my husband and I as we ended our IVF consultation with him that day. At the conclusion of the appointment, I expressed my concern with Dr. Chun that we only had one opportunity to get pregnant because our insurance plan allowed just one IVF procedure. He calmly and very matter of factly said, "That's all you need" and walked us to the door of his laboratory. He pointed to a University of Hawaii athletic poster that hung over the entrance with the words "BELIEVE" printed on it. We like to think of that moment as when the little miracle began. I had done several IUI's and the accompanying surgical procedures that could potentially improve the outcomes, but we unfortunately were met with negative results. Dr. Chun decided that due to my age (I was 39 years old and trying to get pregnant for approximately three years) that we needed to take the next step which would be the IVF procedure. Dr. Chun did not sugar coat the facts, but always remained positive.

    I appreciated Dr. Chun's no-nonsense, yet reassuring attitude. 

    One of the hardest things about infertility is feeling like you have no control. We did everything we could to "try" on our own—charting, ovulation predictor kits, you name it, we tried it. But every month, we got the same heartbreaking result. Not being in control of my body affected everything else in my life: my marriage, my work, by friendships. I felt like everything was spiraling out of control, and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. Then we were referred to Dr. Chun. It was such a relief being able to turn to an expert and basically putting all my worries into his hands. I appreciated Dr. Chun's no-nonsense, yet reassuring attitude. And he was as determined to get us pregnant as we were to get pregnant. It was quite a journey—the IVF process is very emotional, time consuming and sometimes physically painful—but it was all so worth it when I watch my twin girls sleeping or crawling around, or when I see their little faces light up when they see me. Dr. Chun and his staff really help .

    I can attest personally to the compassion and attentiveness to detail we received from IVF Hawaii. 

    This letter serves as unsolicited testimonial of the world class care we received at IVF Hawaii. Having practiced medicine for many years, I can attest personally to the compassion and attentiveness to detail that we received from IVF Hawaii. We refer to best medicine as evidence-based medicine in our field, which means practicing medicine based off of scientific findings. In medicine, many find that it is easy to develop habits and avoid changing or learning until we are 20 years into our careers and practicing outdated medicine. I can assure you that this is not a characteristic of IVF Hawaii.  


    We also have the good unique ability to compare IVF Hawaii to another fertility clinic on the mainland where my wife and I underwent treatment prior to our return to Hawaii. We can attest that without question, IVF Hawaii was more organized, more knowledgeable, and far more interested in success than this other clinic. We guess that would explain why IVF Hawaii has nearly double the success rates for pregnancy with the type of procedure we required (ICSI) than the clinic we paid nearly $20,000 to on the mainland. Perhaps this is also why they failed to give us a child/children where IVF Hawaii did.  


    To Dr. Chun, we were thoroughly impressed by your devotion to your work. Your reputation for being strict was greatly appreciated. It is further evidence of the depth with which you care for the work you do. You are undoubtedly a godsend in our lives. We full-heartedly believe that without you, our dreams of having a family of our own would not be a reality.  


    To the staff of IVF Hawaii, thank you for putting up with Dr. Chun (wink, wink). I am sure he challenges you to better yourselves every day, but that is part of what makes your team so good. I know I am preaching to the choir on this one, that is why you work for him. Thank you for your positive attitudes and friendliness. 


    The IVF process can be so overwhelming to patients and the support of the staff help make the experience less intimidating. The thought of how to repay the people that give you what you desire most in life is daunting. If we had the means, we would do more, but until we can, know that you will always be in our hearts as the team that gave us the life of our two little angels.

    Dr. Chun and staff are really dedicated to help their patients have the best experience and results possible.

    They were thorough with their explanations and helped to ease any apprehensions my husband and I had. I was impressed when I received after hour calls from his nurse, Lorene, to make sure I understood the latest instructions or to see how I was doing. The IVF procedure was a success on the first try and we were blessed with twins! Their dedication, efficiency and personable approach is why we have urged others not to delay seeing Dr Chun.

    My husband and I were trying to have a child for over two years and were getting really discouraged. 

    After talking to some of our friends we were recommended by two of our good friends to see Dr. Benton Chun at IVF Hawaii.

     

    Because we trusted our friends without a doubt, we quickly called and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Benton Chun. Dr. Benton Chun and his staff were very understanding and helpful to our situation and quickly got on the ball to solving our problem.

     

    Within 6-7 months time I was pregnant with my first child (baby boy) through IVF Hawaii. He is now two years old and through another success of IVF Hawaii with Dr. Benton Chun and his wonderful staff, I am expecting twins very shortly. My husband and I feel very blessed that we got the opportunity to go through IVF with Dr. Benton Chun and his office staff.

    I felt that at times they really bent over backwards to help me out.

    I just can't put into words how much I love Dr. Chun! I refer everybody to him, but it seems that everybody goes to him already. Dr. Chun is actually the second infertility specialist that I have seen. The first doctor I saw I felt was competent, although I didn't get pregnant, but I just didn't feel that he cared about me and pushed me into doing IVF without, I felt, delving more into diagnosing why I couldn't get pregnant. Then with a recommendation of my friend, I went to see Dr. Chun.I saw Dr. Chun for three years before I had my twins and within those three years I had multiple miscarriages and two failed IVF treatments. The third one was the charm. But through it all, I always had faith in him that I would be able to conceive a baby (or two). His staff is great and so accommodating. I felt that at times they really bent over backwards to help me out. Dr. Chun was always so encouraging and reassured me that I would get pregnant. Though the road was long, my experience with IVF HAWAII was a great one and I would and I do highly recommend Dr. Chun to anyone with infertility.

    I share our IVF experience with you because I want to show to what lengths a childless couple will go to have a baby and what IVF Hawaii will do to help them.

    When my wife and I came to IVF HAWAII , we had been trying to have a child for 9 years, and had already had two unsuccessful IVF attempts at another IVF clinic. I had already had three children from a previous marriage and my wife had never been pregnant. Ours was what I've heard called a "May-December" marriage, my wife at 34 being "May" and I at 59 being "December". (although I'd rather think of myself as an "October".)


    Along with our age difference, we came to IVF HAWAII with some unusual challenges that required more than the ordinary IVF protocol. My wife had a history of endometriosis and I had a vasectomy after the end of my first marriage. Often a vasectomy can cause sperm antibodies which kill sperm resulting in having a very low or non-existent sperm count. Our situation required more than the regular IVF protocol. Simply explained, the woman undertakes a drug and nutrient protocol to stimulate her ovaries to produce many eggs. At the same time those eggs are harvested, sperm is retrieved from the man and an individual, viable sperm is surgically inserted into an egg. Within a few days, the fertilized egg will hopefully become an embryo which is then implanted in an optimal position in the uterus. First Dr. Chun performed laparoscopic surgery to mitigate my wife's endometriosis. After my wife healed and completed the drug and nutrition protocol under the "big sisterly" guidance of Lorene at IVF HAWAII, the big day arrived for Dr. Chun, Dr. Iriye (my urologist) and Pauline, IVF HAWAIII's embryologist to help us get pregnant. Warning: Any men reading this should be sitting down and have someone standing by with smelling salts before reading further. Normal procedures for acquiring sperm after vasectomy (aspiration of the epididymis, subcutaneus testicular extraction) had not been successful in my case so a more invasive procedure for testicular extraction was necessary. Dr. Iriye with Dr. Chun assisting, had to surgically remove almost one tenth of each of my testicles in order to find enough sperm to impregnate my wife's eggs. In fact, the sperm retrieval results initially looked bleak but Dr. Chun's and Pauline's persistence and commitment to our having a baby made them spend over eight hours under a microscope meticulously searching through my extracted testicular tissue. Thankfully they were able to find eight live sperm each of which was inserted into eight of my wife's eggs, three of which ended up as viable embryos.

     

    To increase the odds of my wife getting pregnant, we opted for all three embryos to be implanted in her uterus. In the days that followed, a subsequent ultrasound revealed one embryo did not take and so now we were pregnant with twins! A short time later, however, extreme pain sent my wife to the ER at Kapiolani and it was revealed by a diligent ultrasound tech that one of the fetuses was now an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Not only had the embryo managed to move out of the uterus into the fallopian tube, but it had moved all the way up the tube and attached itself to an ovary causing hemorrhaging. The condition was potentially life threatening and surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy also posed risks to the last viable fetus. I tried to maintain a tough exterior but I must admit, I was breaking up inside. Dr. Chun was sensitive enough to recognize this and was not only there for my wife and baby, but was there for me too. Dr. Chun diffused this potentially tragic situation by laparoscopically removing the errant embryo without threatening the remaining fetus, thus saving mother and child.

     

    Aside from chronic morning sickness throughout my wife's pregnancy, the rest of her pregnancy was uneventful. I should mention that she developed a heightened sense of smell that exacerbated her nausea, and so I had to make every effort to make her world fragrance free, including me (no easy task). Her sense of smell was so acute that I thought about renting her out to U.S. Customs to sniff out contraband at the airport. 

     

    I do not share our story with you to scare you or create anxiety about IVF. Most pregnancies made possible by IVF are far less dire and dramatic. I share our IVF experience with you because I want to show to what lengths a childless couple will go to have a baby and what IVF HAWAII will do to help them. I also want to make hopeful couples aware that compared with our previous experience with the other IVF provider in Honolulu, we found Dr. Chun and the staff at IVF HAWAII were more thorough when searching for and mitigating possible causes contributing to infertility, that Dr. Chun was far more compassionate and engaging in his "bedside manner", and the efforts by IVF HAWAII embryologist seemed more diligent and persistent. So when all is said and done, what is the result? His name is Kekoa, a healthy and thriving baby boy, and I thank God for sending Dr. Chun and IVF HAWAII to help bring him to us.

    Dr. Chun is a caring, compassionate, and witty doctor who never fails to make my husband and I laugh out loud.

    I never thought I would have had any issues with getting pregnant. I had regular monthly periods, I was slim and in good health, and, in my mind, I was young (32). However, after about a year of trying to conceive on our own, I was referred to Dr. Chun.

     

    I have forgotten the timeline of my laparoscopic surgeries; however, I have endured through two to remove severe endometriosis and cysts/polyps/fibroids. During those surgery ordeals, my husband was tested to see if his sperm was the cause of our infertility (it wasn't, and we attempted about 8 IUIs, all unsuccessful).

     

    Due to the failed IUI attempts and because I was getting older, we decided to go through with in vitro fertilization (IVF). Both my husband and I were 34 years old.


    The medication made me feel unlike my normal self, I was bloated, and the daily shots that my husband injected into my thigh, stomach and rear were uncomfortable; however, on Christmas Eve 2004, we found out that the IVF was successful. During the second week of the New Year, Dr. Chun informed us that one of the three implanted embryos "took".


    All the medication, pain, and last-minute office appointments were worth it. Our daughter was born in August 2005.


    About eight months of trying on our own and enduring several failed IUIs, we decided to do IVF again. We could not find insurance to cover this second attempt, but decided that no amount of money would stop us from trying again. Four embryos were implanted this time. I am now 38 years old and 9 weeks pregnant with one baby.


    My husband and I know that we beat the odds both times. We are very fortunate to have had a successful IVF cycle and that one embryo implanted.


    Dr. Chun is a caring, compassionate, and witty doctor who never fails to make my husband and I laugh out loud. The professional office staff tries so hard to accommodate our schedules to make convenient appointments. I believe that I would not have gotten pregnant without the assistance of Dr. Chun. What Dr. Chun said to me summed it up accurately, "We did it. We're pregnant!"

    Our little miracle has arrived and Rob and I can't thank you enough. 

    There truly are no words to express the gratitude we feel toward you and all you did to help us. You are such a genuine and caring physician and we attribute our success to you. Every now and then, I find myself thinking about the UH poster on your lab door with the word "BELIEVE" and it always brings tears of joy.


    Thank you again Dr. Chun, for your many kindness to us. We will never forget you!

    Our dream of becoming parents came to be with the help of Dr. Benton Chun and his amazing staff.

    My husband and I are over the moon to have welcomed our daughter Mahina La'akea to the world just 3 short months ago. Our dream of becoming parents came to be with the help of Dr. Benton Chun and his amazing staff. My husband and I tried to get pregnant for about 2 years. First it was just casual trying and then with a more deliberate effort until we decided to get help. I had heard about Dr. Chun through 2 of my friends he helped get pregnant. After the first appointment I knew he was the right Doctor for us. The thing that I love most about Dr. Chun is his bedside manner. Some doctors can be cold or aloof. Dr. Chun is very calm, compassionate and kind. That was important to me. It is an intimate process. We needed a doctor that would guide us through the process of IVF with care and compassion. It took about 6 months for us to get pregnant with a few IUI's and then IVF but he got us our little girl and we will forever be indebted to him for that. I would highly recommend Dr. Chun to anyone having trouble getting pregnant. He is amazing in our eyes.

    —Mr. & Mrs. M


    My husband and I appreciate your help and support throughout our journey to parenthood.

    I would like to say "Thank You" to Dr. Chun and his staff. My husband and I appreciate your help and support throughout our journey to parenthood. Dr. Chun's straightforwardness was really refreshing and what I needed. The IVF procedure was very intense and time-consuming. The staff took the time to answer all of my questions and address my concerns (no matter how busy they were). Furthermore, they were very accommodating with my check-up appointments. Today, we have two little miracles that would not have been possible without their help.

    We highly recommend using Dr. Chun and IVF Hawaii.

    I was over 45 when we decided to try to get pregnant. Dr. Chun told us our options and the chances given my age. However, we rushed procedures and we were blessed with two wonderful girls. They are pretty much our lives and we don't regret any of the pain and efforts to have them. We highly recommend using Dr. Chun and IVF HAWAII, if you are having fertility problems.

    Dr. Chun and his wonderful team have made our dreams come true.

    Having been a patient of numerous doctors, clinics, and treatment, and in vitro cycles, we were unable to conceive for ten long years. Fate led us to Dr. Chun as we became one of his regular patients.


    After his initial examination, Dr. Chun recommended minor surgery and soon after, we were blessed with our first child. However, once again, our attempts for a second child for three years were unsuccessful.

     

    As the window of opportunity grew smaller, our hopes were quickly fading. We decided to once again seek the help of Dr. Chun and after a single IVF cycle, we were blessed with twins. Dr. Chun and his wonderful team have made our dreams come true and our life so fulfilled. We would never know the true meaning of life if destiny did not lead us to Dr. Chun.

     

    Dr. Chun is a healer and made miracles come true for us. He has become a member of our family and we are extremely grateful for his skill, diligence, belief in his work, and his strong desire to fulfill the dreams of so many families. We enjoy his bedside manners, sense of humor, honesty, and friendship. We love Dr. Chun and his staff and are eternally grateful.

    From the first time we met him, we immediately sensed that we were in the right place.

    We never imagined that we would have a hard time conceiving and starting a family. We just thought it would happen. When each month, year passed by without getting pregnant, we became more and more discouraged, wondering if we would ever be parents.


    Being referred to Dr. Chun was a definite turning point for us. From the first time we met him, we immediately sensed that we were in the right place. Along with his dedicated office staff, he provided us with step-by-step checkpoints along the in vitro fertilization journey. He was always straightforward, something we truly appreciated after years of hearing, just be patient or it must be stress.


    We just celebrated our son's first birthday and each day with him is a blessed adventure. Thank you Dr. Chun (and your wonderful office staff) for making our dreams of being parents a reality!

    Without Dr. Chun's help, I know that I would not know what it is like to be a mom today.

    Dr. Chun helped me to become a mom not just once, but twice! I had been trying to conceive for several years without any success when I met Dr. Chun. What seemed so easy for other women proved to be so very difficult for me.

     

    On my very first visit to Dr. Chun's office, he scheduled me for hysteroscopy. He diagnosed me with endometriosis and atypical hyperplasia, a precancerous condition of the uterus. I was devastated, but over time, Dr. Chun helped correct both conditions. He told me that I had just one shot at in-vitro fertilization before hyperplasia returns.

     

    Due to my age, I only had twenty percent chance of success, but I became pregnant on the first try. I had three embryos frozen for almost four years, and when time came for me to attempt in vitro fertilization for the second time, my chances of conceiving was about ten percent because I was in my forties already. But it was a success once again.


    From day one until the day my daughters Haley and Skye were born, Dr. Chun and his staff were unbelievably supportive. They were like family, sharing my pain, and at last, my joy. Without Dr. Chun's help, I know that I would not know what it is like to be a mom today. I had dreamed of being a mom for six years, and with Dr. Chun's help, my dream has become a reality.

    They took care of us like we were their only patients. 

    My husband & I were trying to conceive for more than a year, we both went through tests & I had a laparoscopy for my endometriosis when my OB/GYN finally referred us to Dr. Chun at IVF HAWAII for help. I was unsure about Dr Chun & IVF HAWAII because I never heard anything about them and only heard about the other infertility place through friends and newspapers.

     

    Dr. Chun tested both of us and recommended that I have another laparoscopy for my endometriosis and a hysteroscopy. Since In vitro fertilization was our best option to have a child, Dr. Chun wanted to be sure everything was okay before we proceeded.

     

    We were scared but really wanted to have a baby. I quit smoking after about 17 years (I can't believe it)! Then we started what seemed to be a long process of shots & meds, but ended not to be at all. We were lucky to finally be pregnant after our first try! WITH TWINS! We were so happy and scared because we didn't know what to expect with TWINS.

     

    We tried not to get so excited just yet, they weren't born yet, but how could we not. We were just hoping for the best. Since I was considered a high risk pregnancy just for having twins, I stayed home from work for the last half of my first trimester (due to a little spotting) and the very last trimester, for sure. We didn't want to take any chances. Due to my age, we chose to have an amniocentesis, times two!

     

    But in the end, it was all worth it when our twin girls Jenna & Jasey were born, through cesarean section, at 37 weeks & 7 days. Jenna was 5 lbs ,9 oz & Jasey was 4 lbs, 8 oz and they were both healthy! I didn't get to see them right away (I was knocked out). I asked my husband how they looked and he said one was dark in complexion like him & the other was light like me. I didn't believe him until I saw for myself.

    The journey we took with Dr. Chun and his staff was not easy, but they were there with us every step of the way.

    You ever wanted something so badly and every path you took to achieve that goal hit a roadblock? Well, that's how we felt when we tried to conceive our first child. Our frustration level and level of despair was at times unbearable. That is, until we met Dr. Benton Chun. His warm and caring demeanor and knowledge about what we were going through was more than we could have hoped for. At our initial consultation, he explained everything in terms we could understand, and the road to success was finally in sight.

     

    From preparing for the shots, to egg retrieval, to fertilization, to implantation, to finding out we were pregnant, Dr. Chun and his staff never left our side. They were angels sent from above. The journey we took with Dr. Chun and his staff was not easy, but they were there with us every step of the way. They answered all of our questions, calmed our nerves and shared in the ups and downs that the process involved. We could not have come through this without their love and support!

     

    We started the in-vitro fertilization process 7 years ago, as one of the first group of IVF HAWAII patients. With only 4 good quality embryo's, we were very fortunate to have conceived and carried to full term, a healthy 6 lb 2 oz baby girl.

    Dr. Chun and the staff at IVF HAWAII made it possible for us to realize our dream of starting a family. After 4+ years of IUIs, biopsies, surgeries, a miscarriage, 4 IVF cycles, many tears, and many hugs, we now have 2 precious little ones. Throughout our entire journey Dr. Chun, Dr. Yamasato, Lorene, Cyndi and the staff were very supportive and treated us with respect. Thank you, Dr. Chun for not giving up on us!

    We are so grateful to Dr Chun and his staff for their support

    It has been almost exactly two years since that very memorable day we received the phone call from Lorene (Dr Chun’s nurse) that we were FINALLY pregnant. What a day that was; full of joy, tears, fear, and overwhelming gratefulness. Our love and respect for Dr Chun and his staff has not been diluted, in the least, by the amount of time that has passed since that day.


    Our journey to parenthood was long and bumpy. When we first came to see Dr Chun on a referral from our OBGYN, we were in denial about the need for infertility counseling. After many tests, we still didn’t have any concrete answers to the reason for our difficulty conceiving. After nine unsuccessful IUI’s and two laproscopic surgeries for endometriosis, we finally agreed to discuss in-vitro. Dr Chun and his nurse Lorene took as much time as we needed to answer all of our questions and address any concerns we had. It was a really tough decision but we trusted Dr Chun and we knew were in good hands.


    Our first in-vitro was text book, so when it failed we were devastated. We were invited to come back in to the office a few weeks later to discuss our next move. That visit was so hard on us, but it was the first time I think we really knew how invested Dr Chun was in our success. He looked nearly as miserable as we did. Although he is always very professional and respectful of his patients, on this day I could tell that he was sharing in our sadness. His bedside manner was always very caring, personable, firm, and understanding. We continued on to do a frozen embryo transfer in order to use our remaining embryos…this too failed. Once again we were absolutely devastated. This time we went in to talk to Dr Chun and he was honest and forthright about our chances of success if we tried again. At age 39, I was running out of options. We decided to take a break and consider adoption.


    After a long and thoughtful break we decided to try just one more time. We called Dr Chun’s office to see if we could come back and of course they welcomed us back with open arms. Our first visit to their office was like a reunion; filled with smiles and hugs. My husband and I realized that no matter what the outcome we were so comfortable being in Dr Chun’s capable hands. Throughout our third in-vitro the staff stayed positive and encouraging. Then that memorable day came and we received the phone call that changed our lives forever.


    Today we are blessed with twins; one boy and one girl. Our hands and our hearts are full. We are so grateful to Dr Chun and his staff for their support through such an emotional and trying time. Dr Chun never gave up on us and after six years as his patient, we felt like he was still treating us with the same enthusiasm and desire for our success that he had in the beginning. We will always be grateful to Dr Chun and keep a special place in our hearts for him and his staff.

    Thank you, Dr. Chun for helping us to believe that there is always hope.

    Words can't express how grateful we are for Dr. Benton Chun and the staff at IVF Hawaii in helping us achieve the greatest gift ever, our baby boy. This could not have been possible without all your hard work and support. Thank you, Dr. Chun for helping us to believe that there is always hope and to the staff at IVF Hawaii, for your dedication, compassion, and understanding throughout this entire process!

    For years, IVF HAWAII has helped couples become parents with compassion and support every step of the way. See what families are saying about their journey to parenthood with our team at their side.


    "We made the right choice..."


    Dr. Chun, Dr. Beair and their team are exceptional. They have guided us through our IVF journey with knowledge, patience, compassion and commitment. Starting our journey so late in our lives we had to be sure of our choice in a doctor, being that time was a definite factor. A friend referred Dr. Chun, and from our 1st meeting to the birth of our second child we knew we made the right choice.


    In the beginning we had a lot of questions on the process and needed guidance as to what to expect and Dr. Chun and his team were always there to address our concerns. For us, Dr. Chun fulfilled our need to not only choose a doctor who is an expert in his field, but also one who was the right fit for us. We definitely went through our emotional and physical ups and downs throughout, but with the help of Dr. Chun and Dr. Beair we now have two beautiful daughters. They have been with us through our journey all the way to the birth of our 2nd daughter and they held our hands the entire time. We are truly grateful.

    - G.H. & C.H.


    Dr. chun was the best thing that could ever happen to me & my husband. Dr. Chun is so knowledgeable, sweet & caring along with his staff. 


    Not only is Dr. Chun amazing but so is Dr. Beair she was so calm, understanding & professional throughout my pregnancy & during my delivery. 


    I highly recommend IVF Hawaii if you are struggling with your fertility. You definitely will not be disappointed! Thank you Dr. Chun, Dr. Beair & staff for being so amazing & helping me bring our baby into this world. We love you guys!! "

  • Forever grateful

    We are forever grateful to Dr. Chun, Lorene, Cyndi, Marci, Gen, Kristy, Carol, Sarah, and the staff behind the door. 

    We came to Dr. Chun after two heartbreaking setbacks in our dream to become a family. With a partial molar pregnancy, and then an IVF which resulted in an ectopic pregnancy, we couldnt have felt more defeated. We needed a change, if only to believe that we did everything we could to make that dream possible. After some online research and a leap of faith, we decided to make an appointment with Dr. Chun . . . and it was one of the best decisions of our lives. 


    He and his staff made this complicated and emotional journey, one that was resolute and comforting. We always left his office knowing exactly what we must do next, and never left it doubting our decision to go to him. Everyone there was knowledgeable, uplifting, and compassionate, making it as easy as it could be to focus on the path forward. This was especially reassuring when our first IVF with them was unsuccessful. 


    But instead of that IVF being another rock in our path, Dr. Chun turned it into a stepping stone, leading him to the right tests and the needed insight to make our dream a reality. And that he did. After nine years of desire, defeat, and determination, Dr. Chun helped us bring home a beautiful baby girl.

    We truly feel like we're forever part of the IVF Hawaii family.

    After a lot of disappointment prior to visiting IVF Hawaii, we were nervous and scared about the entire process. We were greeted with warmth, sincerity and professionalism which lead to our beautiful miracles. 


    I could not imagine going through this sensitive process with anyone else.

    I feel really lucky that I had meet Dr Benton Chun.

    My baby girl is 6 months now she is sweet and healthy. I had lost my baby twice before 1st one was in third trimester and 2nd was in first trimester that was kinda painful memory. But I feel really lucky that I had meet Dr Benton Chun, him and his team are actually made my dream came true. Dr Chun is professional and knowledgeable on his field, he is calm and sweet, sometimes I feel calm too after visit him. he answer questions straight forward , trust him and follow his instructions he will choose the best for you because he had plentiful priceless experiences. So me and husband want to thank him from the deepest of our heart he is amazing!


    Few years ago we knew about Dr Chun on Yelp, and now we had dream came true so We are strongly recommended Dr Chun. Also this team is really a 5 star team, every single person works in the office are gentle, helpful and knowledgeable. During Ivf or infertility process women's mood could be little sensitive than normal but they always made me feel comfortable, so the office is amazing. Also My OBGYN Dr Beair is amazing too, for such a young doctor she is caring and responsible and understanding. she's patient to explain and will give heads up when and what situations need to call and let her know she's really caring."


    In this office everyone love their job that's such a beautiful and amazing thing! And thank you u guys!
