Since this…read morewas my first IVF experience, I was quite anxious, so I really appreciated how quickly they responded to my questions by email. The doctor was also very professional, which made me feel comfortable and confident in their care. One suggestion would be to provide an overview of the entire IVF process in advance. I understand each case is different, but having a general idea of the steps ahead would help patients better understand what to expect.

    I chose this clinic for my secondary infertility treatment. I transferred six embryos from my home…read morecountry to this clinic, had four of them tested with PGT-A, and kept the remaining two untested. As a result of the PGT-A, two normal embryos were confirmed. I felt very relieved at that point. Because of my age, I hoped to undergo the transfer as soon as possible, and the clinic accommodated the schedule I wished for. I was worried at first because my lining wasn't thickening well, but after discussing and adjusting the medications, my lining grew sufficiently and we were able to proceed with the transfer. During the transfer, I was even able to watch the moment of the embryo being placed, which gave me a great sense of reassurance. On the test day, I received a positive result. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to get a positive result on the first transfer, so it still doesn't feel real. I couldn't fully show my excitement in front of my coordinator because I was so surprised, but I am truly happy! I'm still not past the safe period yet, so of course I'm anxious, but I sincerely hope that this pregnancy continues smoothly and that my baby will be born safely. When it comes to infertility treatment, I believe that results are what matter most. And because Incinta delivered those results for me, I am truly grateful.

    I just want to add to this post because I think it's important. When I did my egg retrieval with…read moreDr. Macer we expected about 12-15 eggs based on follicle count. However, when I woke up and he told me we only got 4 I was completely devestated. He COULD NOT explain what happened. I asked several times what happened throughout our journey with him and he either brushed it aside or said he had to "look at his notes". He only saw me twice during stims and used a very one size fits all protocol. I luckily got two euploid embryos out of the 4, but both transfers failed. After the failed transfers, he completely misdiagnosed me, which is mentioned in the above review. When we told him about this he decided to get aggressive and told us to only contact the front office if we wanted to be seen by him again. We of course decided we would never go back there. I just did stim cycle and retrieval with my new doctor and we got 24 eggs, 21 mature. His approach was very different. He saw me every other day or every day, checked my blood levels and made sure we upped medication or lowered it based on blood results. This was never done with Macer. I would never recommend anyone to Dr. Macer. Please be careful with trusting this doctor. He has good bedside manner until you question him and can turn very quickly. Also, his office is he does not have the capabilities to do retrievals or transfers out of it. So, you would be traveling to Laguna beach for all of that.

    Would not recommend this fertility center…read more We came in to explore our options for IUI and IVF. Based on cost and our personal situation, we initially decided to pursue IUI. During our first visit, we were given clear guidance that supported this direction--and this was consistently reinforced by multiple staff members, including the nurse. However, during our follow-up appointment for an ultrasound, the experience changed significantly. Dr. Josh Bergers shifted his recommendation and strongly pushed IVF instead. When I referenced the information we had previously been given--and noted that his own staff had confirmed it--there was a noticeable lack of accountability. The staff avoided eye contact, which only added to our discomfort and confusion. Fertility treatment is an incredibly vulnerable and emotional journey, and trust is essential. Unfortunately, that trust was broken for us. It felt like our financial value as patients mattered more than our emotional well-being. To make matters worse, when I later called to request our medical records (which we had already paid for out of pocket), the experience was equally frustrating. The representative, Ixamara, was rude and unprofessional, and informed me that I would need to pay an additional fee and complete a release form just to access my own records. This felt unreasonable and added to the overall negative experience. Each interaction with this office resulted in inconsistent messaging and a lack of clarity. For something as important as fertility care, that level of inconsistency is unacceptable. We ultimately decided to go elsewhere and would not recommend this center.

    Innovative Fertility continues to be wonderful! We now have two beautiful children thanks to Dr…read more Berger and his team. Our second experience was just as great as our first.

We researched various CA based and int'l clinics and determined his price point and convenient location was a good fit. We decided to embark on our IVF journey at 42. *At my initial consultation he advised he accepted PPO insurance which I acquired only to learn he went to a cash only model a few months later and suggested I submit receipts for reimbursement. The receipts had zero medical billing coding, so that went no where. *Ana & Claudia are phenomenal in managing the office. However, they're understaffed and obtaining instructions on pharmaceutical administration is overwhelming and chaotic. *My biggest gripe and reason for switching clinics: Dr. Khorram suggested I skip genetic testing as my body would naturally release the embryo which we accepted. Dr. Kim, however, pulled us in shortly after the implantation while I was drowsy and Dr. K had departed to sell us on genetic testing at $5K. Needless to say, it didn't take and Dr. Khorram reprimanded us for signing up for genetic testing. This infuriated me and let him know Dr. Kim preyed on us while in a vulnerable state. Apparently, it's been an issue and Dr. Kim "doesn't listen." I told him I felt bamboozled and decided to never return due to this lack of professionalism and lack of empathy. No frills is fine, but my experience was disgusting. May my experience help you discern and best of luck.

The office is a no frills place, and the MD's don't sugar coat things but honestly it was kind of a testament to the effective work they do there. Their jobs are to help people get pregnant and they are good at that! Their prices also made IVF attainable for our family and with the uncertain nature of the a IVF experience, it was so reassuring to know that at least it was financially possible. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who understands the nature of the IVF process and who wants honest realistic expectations of what the process will look like.

This clinic didn't just help me medically; they carried me through hope, fear, prayer, and miracles. Dr. Rifaat Salem is nothing short of a blessing. His compassion, patience, and confidence gave me peace during moments when my heart was heavy and my mind was full of worry. I always felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for not just as a patient, but as a mother dreaming of her children. Jessica was my coordinator this round, and she was amazing beyond words kind, attentive, and always there when I needed reassurance or answers. Tara was my coordinator during the journey of creating my daughter Isabella, and she will forever hold a special place in my heart. Rita, the receptionist, is truly the heart you feel the moment you walk through the doors. From day one, she greeted me with warmth, kindness, and a genuine smile that instantly eased my nerves. On days when my emotions were heavy or my anxiety was high, her gentle presence and compassion made such a difference. Tina in financial services helped make an overwhelming process feel manageable and human. Because of this team, I am blessed with my beautiful 21 month-old daughter, and now I am pregnant with my son. Two miracles. Two answered prayers. I will never forget the role this clinic played in building my family. If you are walking a fertility journey and need a place filled with expertise, compassion, and genuine heart; this is it. I am forever grateful.

Little backstory- my husband and I had conceived our first baby July 2023 which unfortunately lead to a miscarriage around 8 weeks. We were devastated and worked hard to try to quickly get back pregnant again but it wasn't happening as quickly as we though it would. Flash forward to around to April 2024 and no luck getting pregnant I read about Radiant Fertility and called to get more information as I was open to acupuncture to help facilitate this process. Just the initial phone call with Deannie was so inspiring for me and I shortly thereafter booked my first appointment with her. She explained the process would take me to be relaxed, trust the process and follow her guidance and in 4 months we were pregnant! Diligently following the schedule of herbs and vitamins, along with weekly hour long acupuncture sessions brought us to our dream of getting pregnant. And I am now writing this 30 weeks along with a very healthy, easy, beautiful pregnancy. What I love about Deannie is how she really focuses on every aspect of your health and treating you as a whole, but she can pin-point focuses on where you made need more attention and strengthens your body and mental health to prepare for the ultimate blessing of carrying a baby. if you are feeling lost in the "trying to have a baby" phase, withe Deannie she will assure you that hope is surely not lost and will be with you every step of the way! Thank you Deannie for all you did for my husband and I!!

Deannie is very responsive, will answer any questions you have, and explain all that you will experience (so you won't have any nasty surprises). Above all, her acupuncture and meditation sessions immediately before and after my embryo transfer played a key role in me being able to get pregnant. She even came to the clinic and stayed there the entire time, something that my regular acupuncturist was unable to do. I am very grateful to Deannie for her first-class, above-and-beyond service and would gladly recommend her. Her services are worth every penny!

After a diligent research, we found Dr Ambartsumyan (Gayane) at Reproductive Partners in Redondo Beach. We were able to get an appointment with her within a week and during our apt my husband and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She was knowledgeable, funny and easy to talk to you. In fact, having Dr A as my RE made me feel like I had a personal physician. If I had any questions, Dr A was a text message away [I think she sleeps with her phone :-) ] she immediately answered all my questions. On the day of my IVF, I had acupuncture (please see Deannie Janowitz review) and after our first try of IVF with Dr. A, I got pregnant. I am now 14 weeks along with a healthy and growing baby boy. I have three embryos left and I'm plan on using them again with Dr. A as my RE. There is no doubt that Dr. A is a rare breed of physician: equally knowledgeable as she is caring. I feel incredibly lucky to have Dr. A as my RE and I highly recommend her to anyone! Update: In 2017, I had another IVF with Dr. A and delivered a beautiful and healthy baby girl (I was 42 yrs old). She is 7month old and I am grateful as can be!

Me and my husband were treated like people, not just numbers, which is so important on this journey! Graduating from RPG to my OB at 8 weeks pregnant was a dream come true. As I hold my 7 month old miracle baby in my arms today, I give thanks to this amazing clinic for the level of care we received.
