Dr. Dzineku has been amazing and accommodating on all levels with our treatments. Dr. Dzineku is very positive, very easy to talk to, shows that he genuinely cares. We were out of town patients but he and his team did everything they could to accommodate.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering - I have had nothing but a great and positive experience with him and his team. Thank you

I found the doctor to be really nice to us and he gave us a sliver of hope in a time when we had none at all, his staff are kind and his wife was pleasant as well. I have both my tubes blocked and I’m hoping they can work with my husband and I so we can have a baby. I will not speak on that because we are too early in the journey but he is a nice doctor and if he’s late so what he is literally doing surgeries! Some doctors are just not that punctual actually any good doctor I’ve ever been to was late and they were totally worth it.

Dr Dzineku is a terrible doctor. He will give up on you when your diagnosis gets too difficult for him to treat. He is no way an expert in IVF treatment. He used the standard protocol for my treatment. If you have a difficult diagnosis, stay away from him. He does not have the critical thinking skills or time to tailor a plan for you. Tripod also does not have their own lab. They use IVF Canada or TWIG for IVF & IUI treatments. Yet their website boasts they have a "state of the art lab". Absolute joke of a fertility doctor that lacks care and compassion for his patients.

I’m not sure about the bad reviews but I had a great experience with him. He’s straight forward but also open to hearing you out. He doesn’t make promises but will always do his best. He’s a doctor not God and this is science! His humour is corky and I actually find it comforting. He went above and beyond for me so I couldn’t ask for me. Many of my friends who did IVF built zero rapport with their doctors or were completely in the dark. I felt him and his team became a family. I highly recommend his clinic! Ok, so he’s late sometimes - big deal. It never bothered me because his teams care is what mattered most.

Nothing but positive experience with Doctor Dzineku. He is kind, compassionate and knowledgeable about his field and I trust him 100%. I have been alone in my journey, yet I felt supported about my choices and the care plan we had in tow. I was able to conceive with fertility meds to help balancing my PCOS. I'm thankful for Dr. Dzineku's care, as well as his staff.

Tripod Fertility uses very advanced treatments for repeated miscarriages. His testing and protocol helped me to give birth to helthy baby after 4 losses. God Bless.

I’m very frustrated about my experience at Tripod in Toronto with Dr. Dzineku. I had my first round of ivf under his care (Ontario funded), and felt like it was wasted. He put me on what seemed like a decent stims plan, and my body responded really well. He had me doing stims for 16 days and egg retrieval on day 18. The results were unsuccessful with zero fertilization or embryos. Obviously devastated, we didn’t know why it didn’t work, and he didn’t have an answer.

My husband and I found his bedside manner extremely poor, he was constantly late to every appt even virtual (20 min… up to 40 min), and he had a bad habit of speaking over us. He also was never prepared for our appointments, so when he joined the call or was ready to see us in his office, he would look into our chart to find the info - didn’t have a clue what our medical history was. Sometimes we would have to wait until his assistant sent him results. This was extremely frustrating and a waste of time.

We ended up going to another clinic, but it wasn’t until I started in depth research and seeing a naturopath, when we realized how much he completely messed up our one and only funded cycle. Not only did he leave me on stims for far too long, he also didn’t trigger me until 2 days after my estrogen fell, at which point egg retrieval was another 2 days after trigger. This means that my eggs were retrieved 4 days AFTER my levels started to drop… this is not right!!

The icing on the cake was that in our follow up appt after our failed ivf cycle, he told us ivf is “trial and error” and the next round could be different. For most people, fertility medication is not covered by their health insurance and definitely not covered under OHIP. These drugs can run upwards of $8K. Add the ivf cost on top of that… you are looking at a total of $20-25K per round. There really shouldn’t be a “trial and error” attitude on a procedure like this.

I do not recommend Dr. Dzineku, but if you are already a patient or are waiting for a referral, my recommendation is to do your research and educate yourself on the process.
Good luck!

Dr. Dzineku made massive promises to us with little to no evidence to back up anything he was saying. When I asked him for the studies to support using some really serious medications, he said there were none and I should just trust him. When I said no to a treatment that is banned by the FDA, he claimed that the ban was wrong and that this was our answer to all of our miscarriages. He claimed without HIS treatment I would continue to miscarry and it would be my fault for not listening to him.
Whether his treatment would help or not, this style of communication is not only unbecoming of a doctor, it is downright unethical.
