My husband and I spent a lot of time researching fertility clinics before choosing Dr. Molly Quinn…read moreat USC/HRC Pasadena. We reviewed SART data, read countless reviews, and had multiple consultations, but after meeting Dr. Quinn, the decision felt easy. Dr. Quinn is professional, knowledgeable, caring, and realistic. We especially appreciated her honesty and evidence-based approach. She never gave false hope, but she also respected our preferences and empowered us to advocate for ourselves. She would present the facts, give her recommendation, and ultimately let us decide what felt right for us. She was also incredibly responsive and committed to her patients -- one thing that really stood out was that she came in on her weekend off to personally do my first retrieval. We also loved working with her coordinator, Josephine. Fertility treatment can be so stressful, and Josephine's kindness, responsiveness, and organization made a difference. She was always quick to respond, on top of everything, and genuinely comforting throughout the process. HRC is a large, high-volume clinic, which can sometimes feel overwhelming to navigate, but we ultimately chose them because we valued their experience and expertise. From what I hear, your experience WILL differ depending on who you see. We're also very grateful to Maria in billing, who helped us navigate insurance and saved us a significant amount of money by encouraging us to submit claims we assumed would not be covered. Three years ago, we had a successful transfer and now have a mischievous toddler. I returned to transfer one of our frozen embryos, and am now 30 weeks. I selfishly put off writing this review because I was afraid Dr.Quinn would get inundated with requests, but now that our family is complete, I don't want to gatekeep! We are incredibly grateful for the care and support we received and would absolutely recommend Dr. Quinn and Josephine.

After three failed IUIs, three failed IVF cycles, and two different clinics, we came to HRC feeling…read morepretty defeated. Meeting Dr. Quinn and her team was such a breath of fresh air. From the start, she really listened to us and made us feel seen and heard. She was honest, realistic, and always kept us informed about what the latest research actually shows. Once we all agreed on a game plan that felt right, we jumped in. Since we live out of state, we had to do a lot of outside monitoring, but communication was always consistent and organized. Every appointment and procedure felt manageable because everyone was so kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. The facility itself is beautiful and clean without feeling overly flashy. Long story short: after everything we went through, just one round of IVF with Dr. Quinn led to me being 10 weeks pregnant today! I even graduated to my OB-GYN this week!! I honestly can't put into words how grateful we are for her and her team. She accomplished in one try what two other clinics couldn't after multiple attempts. IVF is never an easy journey, and there are so many variables, emotions, and constant changes in research along the way. But no matter what the outcome could have been, HRC made the experience feel supportive, informed, and hopeful the entire time.

Save your money and go to a prenatal chiropractor or physical therapist instead. I've found those…read moreto be genuinely far more effective for real pregnancy-related aches and pains. I paid over $300 for a prenatal massage here and left feeling frustrated and completely unsatisfied. I came in specifically for lower back pain relief, and despite asking the therapist at least four times to use more pressure, the massage stayed extremely light the entire time. I've had many massages, including prenatal ones, so I know my expectations are reasonable. What made it worse was how my requests were handled. At one point the therapist told me that "if you haven't had a massage in a while your nerves might be asleep," which felt dismissive and didn't really make sense. She then said she would "just press and hold in places" rather than actually massage. That's not what I paid for, especially at this price point. It was clear she was inexperienced, and while everyone starts somewhere, a specialized prenatal setting with premium pricing isn't the place for that learning curve. When I followed up afterward, I was quickly passed off to a business manager via text with very little acknowledgment of my concerns. Their own receptionist had already admitted the therapist was new and less experienced, so the lack of follow-through felt tone-deaf. The owner did eventually offer a full refund, but the way it was handled felt even more dismissive, basically making it clear I wasn't welcome back. Overall this experience was overpriced, underwhelming, and poorly handled from start to finish. I would not return.

We were so lucky to have been successful at our first attempt, and our beautiful daughter was born! She is now a little over a year old. We still have one more egg that's still in storage which we plan to implant in the next year or so. Very grateful for Dr. Bayrak and his team, very professional, compassionate team!

Pasadena location also had the best clinical team and I appreciated them more after having to go to the Beverly Hills location 2x. Pasadena location has almost no wait time, the clinical team answers all your questions quickly, and the staff always greeted me with the warmest smile. I went for 3 cycles and only got IUI once (during the 3rd cycle). Results and the journey will vary with each person, but if you are curious, I'm 31 weeks pregnant with healthy twin boys.

Recommend reading the recent reviews there, it's pretty hilarious and sad My partner and I both had our eggs extracted, and Dr. Guner was our doctor. She seems to truly care about her patients and she took the time to answer our questions. She sends follow up notes for your visits and you can most definitely reach her for anything urgent. We also saw Dr. Dooby (not sure if that's how it's spelled) and she was super personable and gentle. The doctors don't make you feel like a cash cow getting herded through the process for money. Can't really say the same for the HRC - Pasadena staff and nurse. They were pretty useless and lied to us on our first visit saying they were closed at 10 AM Sunday. They aren't closed. Their staff just wanted to leave early because there were no other patients scheduled past 9:30 AM on that Sunday. I fought with three receptionists/staff/call operators until I finally got my foot through the door. Best advice is to advocate for yourself and try to connect with someone that is not just a call center operator if it's something urgent or can't wait until the next business day. They also didn't show us how to do the injections so we YouTubed everything. Good luck and hang in there! You are putting your body and mental health and work schedules through a lot in this journey but I commend all the ladies out there for even starting your journey.

Being…read morediagnosed with infertility felt like an absolute soul and gut punch, but I found renewed faith in the amazing care team at Harvest Fertility. Dr. Kornafel was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She is competent, empathetic, compassionate, a strong advocate for her patients, and she tells a pretty hilarious joke. I've always felt safe and comfortable in her care knowing she's the best out there. She is incredibly patient and will listen to you, she takes her time at your appointments and doesn't rush through your questions or concerns. I always felt better knowing I wasn't just a number at someone's facility. She takes her job more seriously than anyone I've ever met and I'm pretty sure she'll tell you herself this is her life day in and day out. She has truly been my guardian angel and I knew we would have a successful pregnancy under her care. I am happy to report I am currently 15 weeks pregnant as I write this. Not only is Dr. Kornafel amazing, but so is her incredible staff. Jane, who is the office manager, is the most kind, organized, and caring individual. She answers every question/concern promptly and has excellent communication with her patients. She was also so accommodating and always made sure my appointments didn't interfere with work. You're not going to get another Jane if you go to a big facility, she goes above and beyond to be available for her patients. I'm guilty of texting her on several Saturday nights and she was always ready with a response and never made me feel badly. Emi, one of the incredible nurses who you'll work with, is also kind, compassionate, and incredibly competent at her job. She and Dr. Kornafel work very well together and they make an excellent team. I remember literally shaking from nerves during my transfer and Emi rubbed my hand and reassured me it was going to go well. A week and a half later, I got the best call of my life from Emi telling me I was pregnant. I will never forget that moment and how I felt her celebrate this moment with me. She also came in on a Saturday so that she could be there at my egg retrieval even though she doesn't typically work at Harvest on Saturdays. I was so appreciative that she would rearrange her schedule to come in on a Saturday for me. Lastly, I don't know the embryologist, Van, very well as she started to be there more just before my transfer. But from the few times I've met her I can say she is warm, personable, and from what Dr. Kornafel has told me, a top notch embryologist with extensive experience in the field. I can't thank the amazing team at Harvest Fertility enough for helping give me the best gift in the whole world. I never doubted them and always knew I was getting my baby one way or another. I look forward to going back for baby number two soon!
