Dr. Julio Enrique Pabon, MD

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! After dealing with 6 years of failed IVFs with multiple other doctors, we were on the verge of giving up. Then we found Dr. Pabon and his staff, who helped us achieve our dream. I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant and still can't believe we're going to have a baby. Dr. Pabon is a very special kind of doctor, he is a true professional. He is compassionate and caring but most importantly, treats each couple as a unique individual case, rather than following a blanket protocol (like in other practices). He gives personal hands-on attention and is meticulous about his procedures and getting everything right. His staff are beyond our expectations. Every person we dealt with was caring, well mannered, focused and truly there to make sure the procedure went right. They were always very helpful and made sure we knew exactly what to expect at each step of the way. You could always get someone on the phone and get fast responses, which we found unique amongst the many doctors we worked with over the years. His facility is immaculate. We never had to wait, always being seen on schedule but never felt hurried. He was absolutely the right doctor for us and we couldn't recommend him and his team enough to someone on this journey.

It's truly difficult to put into words my amazing experience with Dr. Pabon and his staff. I had been struggling to conceive for years, and had given up hope on achieving pregnancy. My husband and I finally agreed that we needed to seek assistance in expanding our family, and it was the best decision we has ever made. From the moment I walked into the office for our consultation, I knew I made the right decision on my clinic and was in the best hands. Dr. Pabon is extremely knowledgeable, and his passion for what he does is evident. With my specific treatment plan, Dr. Pabon said that we would start "slowly", and was never pressured to jump right into IVF. He wanted to try other routes first, and I really appreciated taking time to work with me and my specific case. We did eventually move to IVF, and I am beyond thankful and elated to share that we are expecting our first miracle with our first embryo transfer! If you are considering fertility treatments, I cannot recommend Dr. Pabon's office enough. You feel very special and like their only patient, and the staff greets you by name with a smile every time you walk in the door. Dr. Pabon is also extremely gentle with each procedure, and will never do anything if you are uncomfortable. We will definitely be coming back for baby number 2!

Thank you to Dr Pabon and his whole team for helping us get pregnant with another healthy baby. It was a long tough journey for us to get here but our decision to enlist the help of Dr Pabon was the best thing we could have done.

After 2 failed ivf I decided to try tubical reversal. I truly can say i had the most Amazing experience with Dr pabon and his staff. It took me about a year to champ up and try to have a baby again after not having succesful attempts with ivf with a Prior doctor.Dr pabon is such a one on one person with his patients. I was never treated like a number.i was a little scared at first because i had such an awful experience before that i wasnt sure if it was worth the try. I do not regret the choice i made. Since the beginning of my 1st appointment, to the day of my surgery and after it i have not seem such a caring person. He always answered all my questions, gave positive vibes and such a good feeling. Once my surgery came up i thought well i guess thats the last i will hear from him(thats how it was w my last doctor).i was totally wrong. I went to surgery Jan 2019 and he made sure i was okay for 2 weeks straight. I have NEVER been to a doctor that was so concerned with my health. He is a blessing!!! Keep up the grest job.

Disappointed after reading this many reviews, and experienced that all they care about is your money. No follow up care is provided neither care about you and your goals. Not returning phone calls is only one of them, waiting for months to at least give you the results you already charged for. At the first visit ($300 consultation fee) they are gladly give you an estimated charge, but afterwards they treat you as a number.. next!

Where do I begin? My journey to motherhood has not been an easy one, and it was a chance encounter with a fellow student in graduate school that led me to Dr. Pabon. I have had a failed cycle and was disappointed with my last RE not because of failing but because of how I was treated and looking back the cycle was not tailored to me but generic; however, this review isn't about her. Let's talk about Dr. Pabon--I knew I wasn't ready to give up, but I had the quest to find the very best doctor. Last year, a chance encounter changed my life. A now friend told me her experience with Dr. Pabon and how she loved him and his staff. Her two-year-old daughter was the result of his miracle work. I listened intently, but I had my mind up that I was going to USF since I am alumni and doctoral student there. I had my consult with a doctor at USF, and he was friendly, and according to reviews he is excellent; however, after that visit, I was never able to get through to the office, and they never returned my calls. I was lost in the shuffle. Discouraged, I remembered Dr. Pabon, so I decided to meet him that's when I fell in love. His staff goes beyond their duties. His nurse Ramona I had instant chemistry. I love her. I feel like she genuinely cares about you and she is always smiling and takes a real interest in your journey. Both Ashleys and all of the people who work at the front desk make you feel like family, and they never make you feel like you are bothering them with endless questions or calls. Dr. Pabon is adorable with his bow tie and tough love. He tells you like it is but always with sincere kindness. Dr. Pabon has picked up on things no other doctor has seen, like a "hockey stick" lining and took the time to explain my treatment and why he chooses to do this or that. He also has a funny sense of humor and has a way of making you understand what he means. I knew that I was with the very best the moment I met him. I have done three cycles and have four genetically tested embryos that are frozen. Each cycle went amazingly, and I feel so lucky to have my four embryos at 40. Even if I don't reach my quest for motherhood, I know I came to the right office. You are not a number, you are not treated like cattle, but you are treated like family. Trust me, I am a nurse practitioner, and I know medicine and what it is like to work for uncaring doctors and staff who are miserable. You will not find that here. This is top notch and you will feel like you are the only patient in the world even if there are several others waiting to see him. You will be cared for by the very best, treated with sincere compassion, and most importantly treated with the most up to date technology in reproductive science. If I could give a hundred star rating, I would!

After trying to get pregnant for about 8 years unsuccessfully we decided to pursue IVF with Dr. Pabon. Dr. Pabon and his staff are professional, knowledgeable, caring and are truly the best in the business. I always felt like they had my best interest at heart and wanted my IVF cycle to be successful. We did one cycle and transferred one embryo and are now 9 weeks pregnant!!!! Every scenario is different and each patient's situation will be different with different results, but that's the thing I love about Dr. Pabon's office- they treat each case as its own situation. I will actually miss my appointments there now that we are pregnant but cant wait to show them our baby in 7 months! Dr. Pabon gave us a gift that I truly didn't think we were ever going to have.

Dr. Pabon is a miracle worker! My husband and I tried everything before we came to see Dr. Pabon and we were fortunate to have found him. We are expecting our first child in a few months and we are over the moon (I am 36 and my husband is 40). We could not have done it without Dr. Pabon's assistance. His office staff and team were extremely respectful and organized. The process was seamless and emotionally supportive. I highly recommend Dr. Pabon... don't give up! He literally is a miracle worker!

We were fortunate to have found Dr. Pabon. Thanks to him, we now have a beautiful two year old son, and I'm pregnant again with our second child! We feel blessed to have found Dr. Pabon and wanted to spread the words so more people can benefit from his practice, just like we have. There are many small "touches" that make a visit to Dr. Pabon' office pleasant, but we would like to mention three things that we feel are crucial to our success: 1) Dr Pabon's knowledge and skills, and the technology he employs. His success rate speaks volume. Their pregnancy rate in the first three months of this year was 92%. 2) Gentle hand. I commented to Dr Pabon that it never hurt when he does an exam or even the IVF procedures, while I feel more of a routine exam from some other doctors. Dr Pabon's response is something I will remember: some doctors forget that what they do everyday is not what a patient is used to. Dr Pabon does not forget that. 3) Excellent embryologist and support staff. Everyone knows you by the name. You don't have to repeat things. And you don't have to worry about getting a procedure from a doctor you have not met or who only has a few minutes to review your chart before the procedure. We truly believe that Dr Pabon is the very best Infertility Doctor, with a highly efficient team that makes wonderful things happen.

Very caring, trustworthy and talented physician. Would recommend to anyone seeking expert care for infertility in a comforting and personal environment. The staff is kind and experienced. My husband and I love Dr. Pabon and are so grateful for our little miracle.

Love Love Love Dr Pabon and his whole staff! I am older and after seeing other doctors who strongly pushed donor eggs, Dr Pabon helped us start the family we have dreamed about.

Best IVF doctor anywhere and I have healthy twin girls to prove it! Honest, kind, patient and caring as well as an expert in his field.

Dr. Pabon is a great Doctor! I'm 35 weeks pregnant with a boy. I went through 1 course of IVF. Dr. Pabon and his staff are amazing I called almost every day to ask questions and not one time did they act like I was bothering them or getting on their nerves. I even called them after they released me to my own obgyn. I would highly recommend Dr. Pabon and his staff to help you get pregnant! We were very blessed to find him.

I really wanted to wait until I was completely done with Dr. Pabon and his office before make a review so I could make the most complete, accurate, and informative one. I came to see Dr. Pabon after my husband and I decided we wanted my tubal ligation reversed from 7 years prior. There are many other options in the Tampa area for tubal reversal/IVF but after reading his credentials, his website, and talking to his staff I knew he was the doctor that was going to make our dream come true: to have another squishy adorable little baby. The confidence his staff and even Dr. Pabon had himself was unwavering. All of his nurses, especially Christine, were completely excellent. I am a person that talks a lot and has lots of questions and never once did they seem annoyed. I had no questions, and more importantly no doubts, before going into surgery. I just knew everything was going to be okay. And it was! Dr. Pabon did such a great job with surgery, he followed up with me personally multiple times in my surgery. Throughout the entire thing Dr. Pabon made me feel like a person, not a patient. He talked to me and seemed genuinely interested in me as a person and was so respectful! The surgery was definitely a success because after only 4 cycles of trying, I am 6 weeks pregnant! I encourage everyone if they live out of town, or even out of state, to choose Dr. Pabon. You won't have any regrets - I know I didn't :)

Absolutely amazing aside from sore throat no pain I love Dr pabon!!!! And staff was so attentive.

Dr Pabon was able to help us the first time. But when we went for the second time he failed for the success. We thru 20k right in the garbage becouse he said that he didn't know that my bady was going to react different and gave me a lower dose. So I am not very happy with him.

Thanks to Dr. Pabon and his staff, my dreams has finally came true! My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over a year and he finally made it possible. He is the best I've met so far in this long journey. The staff are so professional, the office is beyond satisfactory, and the overall outcome takes the winning trophy. I highly recommend Dr. Pabon to anyone who wants to conceive.

Dr. Pabon of Family Center & Applied Genetics in Sarasota, FL got me pregnant! Our very unromantic story began when we first met one year ago and ended when I was the ripe old age of 45+ years! My quest began when, after many married years of never particularly caring if we had children or not, my husband and I decided it was now or never. We were fortunate to have heard about Dr. Pabon from a local Ob/Gyn. Knowing that time was not on my side, the staff got me in for a consult the next week. It was obvious from the moment we walked in the door, the entire staff at FC & AG of Florida knew we were individuals dealing with a very emotional situation. Dr. Pabon sat my husband and I down and clearly, concisely, and conscientiously explained all our options. Having never been involved in the baby making business, we were a bit overwhelmed with all the levels of "help" available to make a baby. Although it would seem obvious that a woman in her mid 40's with age-related infertility would need the more aggressive techniques in order to have any chance of success, Dr. Pabon understood I needed to go my own route at my own pace. He is so empathetic, he knew despite the statistics, it was going to take me time before I could accept the reality that my own eggs were practically hard-boiled! Dr. Pabon was not interested in forcing my husband and I down a certain path just because it would be quicker and easier for him to not have to deal with an unsuccessful and unhappy patient. He understood we would have to try what we needed to try before ultimately using donor eggs. Although Dr. Pabon appeared very advanced and thorough, I- being a bit of a skeptical northeastern snob (unjustly so)- researched what other clinics in Boston, N.Y.C. and Washington were offering. Guess what? Dr. Pabon was as cutting edge- if not beyond- as those other clinics' knowledge base and techniques! Furthermore, unlike those other big city clinics, there were no bimonthly seminars offered for the masses, no regimented protocols certain age groups must follow, and no being forced to transfer at least 2 embryos to guarantee better outcomes for the clinic. Dr. Pabon's goal is to help every individual- even a tough case like me who has a very thin lining- achieve her goal of having a baby. He welcomes the challenge and makes you feel you are the top priority. The entire office staff: Ashley, Christine, Diane and Ramona- who have clearly been together for years- knows every patient's name (and I'm sure there were days they'd have liked to have forgotten mine!) and shares in every patient's highs and lows. I believe Dr. Pabon and his staff are almost as devastated as his patients are when procedures don't yield the desired outcome. I received "good luck tomorrow" phone calls; cell phone calls from Dr. Pabon; help with last minute paperwork; and indulgence with every superstitious ritual I asked the office to do in order to bring me luck. I pinch myself everyday that such a sincere, warm and top-notch clinic is literally in my backyard! Dr. Pabon's office should have an inscription similar to the Statue of Liberty's: "...give us your old eggs, your thin linings, your atherosclerotic uteruses, your damaged fallopian tubes..." If you're looking for a place to be treated as an individual- and not just a statistic, go nowhere else but Dr. Pabon of Family Center & Applied Genetics.

My overseas friends decided to come to the US for their IVF treatment. They have been through five IVF's in their own country but all failed. After traveling in the US for 2 weeks and meeting about half a dozen clinics, they chose Dr. Pabon in the end. They liked the fact that Dr. Pabon knows the latest technologies, and his office staff genuinely cares about them. My experience working with this office has also been most pleasant. It's easy to reach everyone when I have a question, and they are patient in explaining things to me. My friends have 6 embryos frozen from just one retrieval, and they will do the first embryo transfer through a surrogate carrier this week!
