Before I know Dr. Meng, I searched all the IVF centers in California and started my first IVF in the best IVF center with the best IVF doctor( Per the online comments) when I was 40 years old. Unfortunately, I failed twice without reasons and the IVF center recommended me to use the Donner's egg if I still want to be a mom. This suggestion just likes a death penalty to me and my family,I was too desperate to sleep. During one of my sleepless nights, one of Dr. Meng's interview video ( youtube.com/watch?v=qEi_... ) appeared to my Youtube screen coincidently! What she expressed in the interview included her profound medical knowledge, her unique philosophy of being an independent wise women through the family planning as well as her passionate personality made me sense the hope and bright of the life suddenly ! I called Dr. Meng and described my situation especially my 2 failed cases in the previous IVF center and I asked her in a lower voice because I was still feeling so shameful and powerless due to the failed IVF experience: "Do you think I still have chance to be a mom and would you like to accept me as your patient? " . She responded me assertively and undoubtedly: "of course I am happy to meet you, don't give up easily!" Her confident voice lift me up from the depression!
Before I went to the first appointment, my brother, a pharmacy professional, did a lot of research on Dr. Meng's education and training background to help me make a better decision. We found Dr. Meng earned her PhD degree in the best medicine university in China and she was trained in a highly credential hospital in New York which my brother had worked before! During appointment with Dr. Meng, we prepared a long list of questions regarding my failed cases as well as the general IVF questions, Dr. Meng answered our questions with detailed clinical data and evidence based practice research results without any hesitation or unsureness! As a professional nurse for 22 years, I knew how a strong and excellent academic and clinical background Dr. Meng has!
During my following treatments, Dr. Meng designed the personalized IVF plan based on my situation. She and her assistant Abby/RN as well as the entire IVF team, they explained all the plans, procedures, medications, rationality, evidence-based clinical data patiently, thoroughly and considerately at every single time! Meanwhile, I have the access to reach their help at any time by phone, email or message! Dr. Meng's clinical skills are so professional and gently, I felt ZERO pain with 2 egg retrievals and no medication side effect with all her IVF prescriptions! Finally,I got totally 3 embryos passed the PGS test at an age of 42! This is absolute MIRACLE for me and my family!
To prepare the transfer, Dr. Meng did a lot of research to rule out risks which could cause my unexplained failed transfer in previous IVF center. She was so smart and solid in her practice and she figured out I had the recessive endometriosis which could decrease the success transfer rate from 70% to 20%! She designed another plan to treat my endometriosis before the embryo transfer. From then on, I fully understood why Dr. Meng was so confident and successful! That's not only because of her knowledge and skills, but also her strong sense of responsibilities being a physician, unlimited compassion to her patients/families plus her endless enthusiasm to challenge all medical problems!
When the transfer date came, I felt so relaxed because I knew Dr. Meng was the best IVF doctor with the best knowledge and skills as well the highest responsibilities I could found in California! With such a strong belief of Dr. Meng, there was another miracle came right after my 42th birthday, I got pregnant with my own egg! I cried when Dr. Meng and Ms. Abby/ RN told me this unbelievable news because I never forgot I was sentenced with "death penalty" to become a mom by another great doctor just few months ago! Dr. Meng, she is the ONE released me from that death penalty! She is the miracle-maker, the angel bringing the miracle babies and inexplicable joys to people's lives!
The IVF patients and their families experience countless stress, anxiety as well as the emotional or physical crisis. A great IVF doctor, more than medical knowledge, professional skills, responsibilities, compassion, they must have a listening ear, a warm and willing heart to feel the patient/family's pain/stress/joy etc., effective interpersonal communication skills as well as the positive attitude and powerful charisma to inspire people's lives . Dr. Meng is fully equipped with all of these characters and she changed and influenced my life as a doctor and my spiritual mentor more than I can say. I hope more people and families could get to know wonderful Dr. Meng through my story and my sharing. Dr. Meng deserves all your trust and she always tries her best to make your dreams and miracles come true! read more
