Peter P.

I've been meaning to do a review for a long while now, but I've been busy with a son! We did a lot of research before going to Dr. Chang. We have insurance, and we could have gone with one of the IVF doctors within network, but we couldn't find anyone with a good review. Most of the within network reviews mentioned how great the doctors were, but once they received the money, or some of the payment, their services changed drastically. The services declined either came directly from the doctors or the staff, or both. Hence, we settled for Dr. Chang here. Mind you, if we've gone with the IVF doctors within network it would have been about 50% off. However, we settled for Dr. Chang due to the great reviews - it was a risk as well because the reviews for him could have been fake. However, we had to make a decision based on the data that we had. And for this we had to do a full private pay with Dr. Chang because they do not take our insurance. We did not regret this decision at all though because did I mention we are so busy with a son now - because it was a successful IVF! Due to us approaching to an undesirable age, with some medical conditions, and with several years of trying without success, we needed to do an IVF before it's too late; it was kind of a last resort. I'm sure those who are thinking of IVF are in similar situation and what not. Dr. Chang is knowledgeable and approachable. He tells you things as they are, and are not pushy or trying to make you spend more money than necessary. He will lay out the details and it's up to you to make an informed decision. Dr. Chang will explain every step of the procedure as he performs it; this is somewhat rare nowadays if you haven't notice. For example, he will say first I will do this, this is what you will feel, and if you feel it differently then please let me know. How many doctors or even nurses explain the steps that they do to you when they perform a procedure? From my experience, not that many. I pay attention to these things because I also work in healthcare, and I know it's essential to make patients feel comfortable.

The response we got from Effie upon messaging our nurse for our next steps for planned "timed intercourse"
E G.

It seems from the beginning our doctor had a defeated attitude. On my first ultrasound she told me she was "disappointed with what she saw". Really? YOU'RE disappointed?? IVF is very challenging and a defeated attitude from the get-go, when you are trying to create life doesn't serve anyone. As a mental health clinician I understand how important the mindset is, not to mention what you say. Then there was our nurse- Andrea. She was awful. No patience and she seemed to get frustrated whenever we had additional questions. For example, for our first round we had a in-person demo of how to administer the meds, as well as a video link and written instructions to refer back to- very helpful! For the second round (with new meds added) we only got an invalid video link with written instructions. We wanted at least a visual example of how to administer the meds. They're expensive, wanted to make sure we were doing them correctly! However, upon reaching out for additional support- we got nothing but attitude. "I sent written instructions!" Okay we can see that, obviously- and we would like a visual example-which is why we are reaching out. Then she refers me back to the invalid video link, so of course I tried to browse the invalid link. Again we reach out and finally she sends a valid link. It felt like pulling teeth to get assistance. Then we made a mistake administering one of our meds. Once I realized I reached out, worried we had messed up the dosage. Called the front desk- they were wonderful-patient and understanding with our concern after explaining and assured me they'd have our nurse contact us. Upon receiving a return call, I explained to Andrea "I'm not sure if the front desk explained the situation?" (In an effort to save time and not re-explain) she responded with "Um no but if you want-I can hang up with you, go talk to the front desk and then call you back!" And it wasn't in a nice way. After already being stressed about administering the meds wrong we get her condescending attitude. People have bad days. But time and time again this seemed to be a theme with our nurse. All the other nurses we experienced were wonderful. After explaining the situation to the office manager Karen and expressing that we were uncomfortable continuing with Andrea we requested to change nurses. Karen refused and kept making excuses saying "oh that's just Andrea's personality" And never once apologized. This was our experience. Then they charged us for an unused "calcium bath" that was to be used for the 2nd round Egg Retrieval, which we decided to forgo, due to the fact that there was only 1 mature follicle. We called and explained our concerns. Karen was somewhat receptive, but also tried to sway us "you know it only takes one, that could be the one!" We were concerned because for the first round they were able to retrieve 6 follicles, this round it looked like only 1 would be mature. We requested an additional monitoring and got in that Saturday with Dr Chang. He was great! Very straightforward. He gave us options and shared it was "reasonable" to be concerned and not wanting to proceed with the retrieval for this round. They gave us three options to proceed: 1) timed intercourse, 2) IUI, 3) IVF and we were instructed to let them know once I ovulated/what we decided. Meanwhile the following week we had been billed by Effie in billing- for an unused calcium bath. She explained they ordered after we had called and it was specially formulated. I asked her to remove the charge and she said she'd have to talk to her supervisor and get back to me. This was on a Monday. So we waited for an answer in regard to removing the charge. Friday when I ovulated and contacted them via the portal like we always did for our next steps, instead of getting a response for the next steps in our pregnancy plan, we get this message from Effie "I will suspend service until balance is clear" really? This woman has just hijacked our plan for $300-400?? That the last time I checked, you were waiting to hear back from your supervisor regarding removing the charge? This is how we get our answer? You hijacking our pregnancy plan? How is that ethical? At that point we had already dropped $13-15k and our balance was always paid within a week/week and half. Not only that- I'd overhead other patients in office, and they'd just shrug it off. One lady had over $2k balance and I overheard her say "I'll pay it next time". So here we are being harassed for a $300-400 med that was unused, meanwhile some patients get the benefit of the doubt- "to pay later" so I've witnessed first-hand. Where's the consistency? Where's the professionalism? This is something the business could've easily written off. We were treated poorly. We just expected more. After reading all of the great reviews we were so disappointed with our experience. We left. We never got a response or an apology for anything either. We were just a number to them $$.

A Miracle Story: I…read morewas 24 years old when I was diagnosed with poor ovarian reserve/prematurely diminished ovaries. Over the years, I went to: HRC Pasadena, Pacific Fertility Center, HRC Encino, and LA IVF. Each one told me I would need an egg donor, and some refused to do IVF with my own eggs. I went through 8 failed IUIs, numerous canceled cycles, and 6 failed IVFs. I was told to give up, find an egg donor, or consider adoption. Fast forward 15 years. One day, while watching The Kardashians, I heard about this doctor and decided to reach out. I traveled from Los Angeles to San Diego to meet Dr. Wood at GEN5 Fertility. Fifteen years after my first diagnosis and now in my second marriage, at 40 years old, I am 8 1/2 weeks pregnant with my own egg!!!! I did a PRP treatments with Dr. Wood. The doctor's name is Samuel. In the Bible, Samuel means "God heard me," and I believe God heard my cry. I truly believe he is ordained by God to help women like me. Dr. Wood's wisdom, grace, and gentle demeanor, along with his compassionate and professional staff, made me feel seen, supported, and understood. They became like family to me and will always be part of my story. In the end, all glory goes to God, for "He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children." Praise the Lord, and may God bless Dr. Wood and the GEN5 team for the miracles they help make possible.

I'm writing this with a heavy heart, as after a year of working with Gen5 and having the clinic…read morehighly recommended by multiple families, I feel it's important to share my experience in hopes that it may help prevent another family from having a similar experience. I'll spare the smaller details and focus on the concerns that stood out most. First, I believe nurses should be mindful of how they respond to patients' test results and ultrasound findings. The week before our egg retrieval, we were told we had only a few follicles. While that information is important, the way it was communicated felt discouraging. IVF is about quality over quantity, and patients should be made to feel supported and hopeful, particularly during such an emotionally vulnerable process. The most difficult experience, however, was the day of our embryo transfer. This was our first time meeting Dr. Adams, and unfortunately, the interaction felt notably impersonal with zero enthusiasm. The day of a transfer should feel uplifting and hopeful, especially after everything a patient has gone through to get there. We were asked that morning to sign paperwork authorizing the disposal of embryos that would not be suitable for transfer. We found the timing of this particularly upsetting. That step could have been addressed days or weeks after what was such an important and emotional day for us. Additionally, from the beginning of our IVF process, we repeatedly and explicitly requested that the genders of our embryos not be disclosed to us. Unfortunately, the genders were not blacked out on our documentation, including the embryo being transferred that day. Discovering this unexpectedly on transfer day was extremely upsetting and could have been easily avoided had our wishes been properly documented and followed. Ultimately, these experiences have led us to decide that we will not be returning to Gen5, which is especially unfortunate because Dr. Wood is truly an exceptional physician and specialist. We found him to be thorough, knowledgeable, and one of the best aspects of our experience with the clinic.

We now have frozen embryos and so much hope for what comes next. Thank you for everything you've done to help us get to this point-- it truly means the world to us.

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE DR.COBB!! I can't say enough wonderful…read morethings about Dr. Cobb! He followed me through half of my pregnancy, delivered my baby, and took care of my stitches. He is so patient, attentive, caring, sweet, and funny, and he's also very well-spoken and easy to communicate with. Even though he's extremely busy, he always makes sure his patients feel heard and cared for. Before delivering my baby, he had just helped another mom deliver and came to me right after. I know he must have been exhausted, but he still provided me with the same attentive and thorough care and made sure everything was done perfectly. He even continued checking on me after delivery to make sure I was recovering well. My whole family loves him, and I'm so grateful I found him! Please go see Dr. Cobb -- he truly won't disappoint you!!

What is there to say about Dr Cobb that hasn't already been said. Thanks to him, I felt dignified…read moreduring my entire pregnancy and delivery. He has a way of listening and speaking that makes me feel like I matter, and my desires are worth listening to. He is an incredibly talented Dr and I am so grateful that I was able to have my second delivered by him. I don't know how this is possible but he doesn't seem to have been jaded by the medical field nor is he a slave to the system - he is one of a kind and an excellent advocate for women. I come from a family of Doctors so I say this with respect -- but most have an ego about them and I have felt patronized and dismissed by some. Dr Cobb is not that way at all. He is both confident and humble in his care. He made me feel safe and cared for. He has a way about him that is integrous and highly capable. If you are a mom carrying a piece of you into the world you probably feel both the heavy responsibility and fear of getting it right. Personally giving birth has been one of the most important moments of my life. Having the best Doctor by your side makes all the difference

Dr. Walters made our baby dreams COME TRUE. His office is clean and very modern equipment. There is…read morea parking structure with security guards walking around all the time so I felt very safe. Not at all what I was expecting when I thought about going to a doctor in Tijuana. The doctors office is actually attached to the hospital so if he orders tests or lab work you can get it done there no problem. He gets the results asap. Dr. Walters and his team worked wonders. I found them to be very professional and for our very first visit he did have a translator there for us in case we needed help communicating, but he speaks pretty good English. If I had any questions I'd either call or email and I always heard back from them with whatever questions I had answered. I have recommended Dr Walters to so many people and I would continue to recommend him. The cost is great and if you take a friend or family member there is carpool most of the way from Los Angeles so you don't get stuck in traffic. His office is only about 2 miles from the boarder in a good area so you're not going down shady streets or anything. It's literally across the street from TGI Fridays, IHOP and Sam's Club. It's a very modernized area. My husband and I went to Dr Walters after trying to get pregnant for about 7 years. We exhausted all our options covered by our insurance and IVF in the States is so expensive. I have PCOS and he has slow motility. We tried 3 rounds of IUI just because it was less invasive and costs way less, but no luck. We ended up trying IVF. We only had 2 embryos that were viable out of 17 that were extracted. We decided to transfer only one at a time and thankfully the first one took and we actually ended up having TWINS!!! The embryo split and we were blessed with 2 beautiful baby girls. We were absolutely thrilled with the results after trying to conceive for so many years. As I said before Dr Walters made our baby dreams come true. Best decision I've ever made was making that call.

TOP NOTCH my wife and I were trying for 8 year and our first attempt we had identical twins our…read moredoctor was dr Rebeca very knowledgeable and guide us the right way answer all of our questions
