I might have endometriosis... all the things. And one day, I would like to become pregnant. He has helped me soo much. My periods have now started up again, they're still a little out of wack but at least they're back. He really cares about you, and I feel like he goes the extra mile to make you not only feel at ease but also feel heard. No one else has been really able to help me. I've gone to multiple doctors, naturopaths, and the one thing that's been a constant in my life is doing acupuncture and taking the Chinese herbs Dr Jaime gives me depending on what my body is going through at that time of visit. I have hope that I'll be able to have kids if I continue to see them.

Preface- my husband and I had been trying to conceive for about 8 months. I stumbled across the…read morefacility & doctor through an ad for stress acupuncture. It was a Thursday evening session, and community style. I did a little research as I have never had acupuncture before, but I felt like this was something I needed as I'm under a lot of stress from the daily world. It was about a 30-40 min session. He placed about 5 needles per ears and it felt like nothing. We chatted about my journey, and he was really great in explaining each pressure point to me, and just overall how it'll help with the stress I've been under. After the needles I meditated for about 20 mins, and he removed them. It was a great stress reliever and I just felt calm afterwards, almost like I was on a cloud. It was definitely a different feeling than when I walked in. Well about two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant and now going on my 7th week. Again we've been trying for 8 months, and I was so discouraged but the stress I was under was more than normal and the social pressures of getting pregnant at my age was a lot. I personally feel like this little session helped me so much, and just really assisted in my journey. Thankful I found this place, and recommend to anyone who is under a lot of stress that is just in need of a small moment to get some clarity.

California IVF provided the most incredible care and service I have ever received. From the moment…read morewe began our fertility journey, the entire team made my husband and me feel like so much more than patients we truly felt like part of a family. Fertility treatment can be emotional, overwhelming, and uncertain, but every person we encountered treated us with genuine compassion, patience, and kindness. They celebrated every milestone with us, supported us through the difficult moments, answered our questions, and made sure we never felt alone. The level of communication, professionalism, and personalized care was exceptional. Because of this amazing team, we were able to create and transfer our precious son, Connor. We will forever be grateful to the doctors, nurses, embryologists, and staff who helped make our greatest dream come true. They didn't just provide medical care--they gave us hope, comfort, and the feeling that they were just as invested in our family as we were. If you are searching for a fertility clinic that combines outstanding medical care with genuine warmth and compassion, I cannot recommend California IVF enough. Five stars could never fully express how much this team means to our family. They will always hold such a special place in our hearts!

Her approach is serious, direct, and focused entirely on results, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. She was against PGT testing in my case and chose to transfer our embryos at day 3--not day 5--and thank God she did. Our embryo stuck, and it worked. She made every decision with precision and purpose, and we are forever grateful for her role in giving us a viable pregnancy. I've seen some negative reviews about her being too serious or not warm enough. But she's not here to sugarcoat--she's here to help you get pregnant. She's not a miracle worker or a god, but she's a highly skilled doctor who makes bold, thoughtful decisions based on science and experience. The rest is up to your body. Also, I've seen some reviews criticizing her for telling patients to lose weight before proceeding. But honestly--what's wrong with that? Don't we want to be as healthy as possible for pregnancy? I personally lost 10 pounds in the months leading up to our transfer because I wanted to give my body the best chance. Dr. Ratcliffe doesn't sugarcoat things--but that's because she's focused on outcomes, not comfort. If what you care about is results, not small talk, you're in good hands with Dr. Ratcliffe. We're forever grateful. We will be back for our other embryos soon:-)

Please take the time to read reviews before deciding to spend your money or time with Dr. Jennifer…read moreRatcliffe. My wife and I had been trying to conceive for over a year and were referred to her office in Santa Rosa. Since we live nearly two hours away, this visit required significant effort and planning. Upon arrival, the front office staff were kind, professional, and welcoming. Unfortunately, that is where the positive experience ended. From the moment we met Dr. Ratcliffe, she came across as aggressively condescending, dismissive, and paternalistic. Her demeanor toward both patients and staff was shockingly disrespectful, she openly insults and belittled her assistants in front of us. Moreover, she spoke to us as though we were incapable of understanding basic information. Throughout the consultation, she made multiple demeaning and inappropriate remarks toward both my wife and me. For instance, she repeatedly referenced my wife's age (40) in a mocking, sarcastic tone, rather than addressing it professionally or compassionately. She would call her old multiple times and then laugh about it. I am not even joking. Her overall approach felt more like that of a pushy salesperson than a trusted medical professional. Instead of listening to our concerns, medical history, or family goals, she launched into an aggressive sales pitch for IVF treatment, emphasizing that we were "running out of time." At no point did she ask what we had already tried, what our preferences were, or whether we had any questions. The most disturbing part of the visit occurred during the ultrasound exam. Dr. Ratcliffe was extremely rough and careless, so much so that my wife cried out in pain. When my wife told her she was hurting her, Dr. Ratcliffe grinned and said, "Yeah, I know," before continuing. This behavior was appalling, unprofessional, and completely devoid of empathy. After she left the room, my wife and I immediately looked at each other and agreed that we would never return. The experience felt violating, dehumanizing, and unsafe. In my opinion, Dr. Ratcliffe should not be practicing medicine. A doctor's first obligation is to "do no harm." Based on our experience, Dr. Ratcliffe not only fails to uphold that standard but actively causes harm--both through her behavior and her disregard for patient well-being. I share this review in the hope that others will be spared from the same treatment we endured.

My doctor suggested I got on birth control to help with relieving some of the discomfort. Fast forward to my early 30s, married and ready to start having children. I got off birth control and my very painful periods came back. Despite the painful menstrual cycles my husband and I were trying to conceive and were unsuccessful for 5 years. I went through infertility treatments with no luck. After an emotional roller coaster of infertility, I told myself that I needed to try something different. I had always heard of acupuncture but was not aware that it may help with women's health and infertility. I googled "Acupuncture Near Me" and found Amanda Moler at Monarch Acupuncture & Wellness. What a gem I found! At our first appointment Amanda was so compassionate and kind. She heard my story and developed a treatment plan specifically for me. Our goal was to first help with my menstrual cycle and then move on to fertility. In about 3 months my menstrual cycles were so much better and I got pregnant! I could not believe it. I was so overjoyed and I'm a firm believer that acupuncture, lifestyle changes and having a positive outlook heals the body. Amanda is truly a beautiful soul and one of a kind! She is a healer. I have recommended several friends and family to her over the last couple of years and all of them adore her and have had amazing experiences. If you are looking to try something new for pain management, grief, women's health or infertility, I highly recommend Amanda Moler at Monarch Acupuncture & Wellness. She is truly amazing and I'm so grateful that I found her.

Dr. Christianson's first question was if i live in Lamorinda. As a Nurse, I asked how her surgical approach for endometriosis surgery.

My endometriosis has improved by 80% with UCSF non surgical recommendation. You only have one set of reproductive organs. The bay area has the best endometriosis doctors in the nation.

I highly recommend Dr. Cheruba Prabakar…read more Over the last two years, she has helped me navigate everything from future fertility decisions after having three children, to breast cancer risk given my family history, to now exploring hormone replacement therapy and all of the nuances that come with it. What I appreciate most is that she takes the time to look at the whole picture. When needed, she's connected me with other specialists and helped me build the right team so I could make informed decisions with confidence. I've sought information through various third-party women's health companies, but none have come close to the depth, thoughtfulness, and individualized care that Dr. Prabakar provides. I'm learning that HRT is rarely straightforward, and what will set her apart is how carefully she reviews my history, symptoms, and bloodwork before making recommendations. Her bedside manner is warm, knowledgeable, thorough, and never makes me feel rushed. As a physician affiliated with Northwell Health, she brings a level of expertise and professionalism that has given me tremendous confidence in her guidance. Private care is certainly an investment and a luxury for most, but I genuinely believe Dr. Prabakar saves her patients significant time, confusion, and heartache by helping them make thoughtful decisions from the beginning. I leave every appointment feeling informed, supported, and confident in my next steps. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her in my corner.

I started my journey with Dr. Aimee 10 years ago, when I first went to see her about freezing my…read moreeggs. At the time, I wasn't ready to start a family, but I wanted to keep my options open. I didn't have a lot of eggs, so I had to undergo several retrievals. As I got older, the quality of my eggs also declined. At my last retrieval, when I was 40, Dr. Aimee recommended trying PRP. She was very honest with me that it was a newer procedure, but that the results were promising. I ended up retrieving just two eggs. We created embryos, and incredibly, we ended up with one healthy baby boy and one healthy baby girl. Our son--the little boy my husband had always hoped for--came from one of those eggs I retrieved at age 40. With Dr. Aimee's help, I became pregnant through IVF, and we welcomed our beautiful son, who is now 2 1/2 years old. When we decided we wanted a second child, my previous delivery had been difficult, so we made the decision to use a surrogate. Once again, Dr. Aimee was there for us every step of the way. She connected me with multiple agencies, and I didn't have to wait long before finding an amazing surrogate who had been screened by Dr. Aimee. She was local, which meant I was able to be part of the pregnancy and birth journey in a way that was incredibly special to me. I also had a difficult time finding an in-network doctor we felt comfortable with, and Dr. Aimee personally recommended someone and helped make the connection. She went above and beyond--not just as our fertility doctor, but as someone who genuinely cared about helping us complete our family. Our healthy baby girl was just born, and she is absolutely perfect. I am so incredibly grateful to Dr. Aimee and her amazing team for everything they have done for our family over the past 10 years. They have been there for us through every stage of this journey, and I truly don't know what our family would look like without them. My husband jokes that if Dr. Aimee told me to jump off a bridge, I probably would. And honestly, he's right. That's how much I trust her. She is kind, compassionate, brilliant, honest, and direct. She always has her patients' best interests at heart and works tirelessly to help them achieve their dreams of building a family. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Aimee for helping us bring our two beautiful children into the world. She didn't just help us have babies--she helped us complete our family. I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough.

After many years, my husband and I decided to try again. This time, we went through his insurance. We had such a horrible experience with the other clinic, we moved our leftover embryos back with Dr. Aimee. She gladly accepted to help us with our second. I cannot praise Dr. Aimee enough! She is a literal angel on earth. The reason we went to Dr. Aimee for our first son was because we didn't want to be treated like another number on a conveyor belt and she did not disappoint. Dr. Aimee goes above and beyond what anyone could ever expect as a patient. She has amazing bedside manners, she's hilarious and she answers any and all questions very thoroughly - I always wonder how she sleeps. If results didn't go our way, she showed us so much compassion. We never felt like another number/statistic and that's more than you can ever ask for while going through the stress of IVF. She might not take insurance, but you definitely get what you pay for. I've been with her for 2 retrievals, 6 years apart resulting in my 2 beautiful babies. We cannot thank Dr. Aimee enough! I've seen her practice expand and it's exciting to see how many more people she's able to help. Her team is AMAZING, warm and comforting. They communicate and troubleshoot issues efficiently and effectively. I never had any surprises with procedures or billing. We would recommend her a million times over because she is such a gem in Healthcare and an amazing human being. Thank you Dr. Aimee for helping us expand our family two times!! Saying we are greatful for Dr. Aimee is an understatement. We get to cherish our beautiful babies because of you. We love you!
