    This clinic is amazing and was treated like a rockstar…read more Thanks to Dr. Surrey and his team we have a beautiful little girl, born just in time for Christmas. Dr. Surrey got us results the first time all while monitoring me from LA--he knows what he is doing. I went to another clinic in Tennessee, before being referred here by a friend who got also got results the first time, where, I believe, the first clinic was "conservative" with my treatment to get more egg retrievals out of me--there, I did multiple egg retrievals with no embryos; SCRC did not do that. While I did go through multiple cycles, if my levels weren't where they needed to be, we stopped; Dr. Surrey didn't even attempt an egg retrieval until I was ready. We only did one transfer because it was successful the first time. The staff was amazing as well as the team and the surgery center team. A ten out of ten experience. We will be back to transfer our additional two embryos. Hoping we're as lucky with those as we were the first time.

    We will all have our opinions on how the care went based on results, circumstances and reality. So…read morethis is mine. :) I froze my eggs in 2022. I got a decent amount, and just hoped for the best, when I found my amazing husband with the amount of embryos that would come from it three years later. Dr Danzer, the most humble, experienced and compassionate doctor. He was so soft spoken and gave me so much encouragement no matter what obstacles came our way. Fertility is hard. It is stressful emotionally, financially and tests every possible resilience you have. But, this team was so on top of their care it could not have gone any better. First try! We have our miracle baby! And I will stick with him for our second. Thank you SCRC for the best possible outcome we could have hoped for.

    My IVF experience with Dr. Ghadir at HRC was hands down the best medical experience I've ever had!…read moreDr. Ghadir and the entire team are truly exceptional. Everyone from the front desk to the nurses, ultrasound techs, and lab staff (and Dr. Ghadir, of course) was incredibly kind, helpful, and communicative. I always felt informed, supported, and truly cared for throughout the entire process. An extra special thank you to my ultrasound tech, Angela, and the best nurse ever, Amber, who were both amazing and supportive from start to finish. The office is beautiful, modern, and very well run, which makes such a difference during something as personal as IVF. I can't recommend Dr. Ghadir and HRC Fertility enough!!

    HRC Fertility has shown a staggering disregard for patient safety and accountability. My physician…read moreexplicitly ordered a mandatory 2-month preparation period with specific supplements before I could safely begin treatment. However, the nursing staff (Nurse Jennie) completely bypassed this medical plan. Without checking my menstrual cycle, my physiological status, or my health readiness, she blindly shipped medications months too early. Most alarmingly, when I questioned her, the nurse admitted in writing that she was 'confused' about my status--AFTER the high-potency drugs had already been shipped. This is reckless. Had I not been extremely vigilant and double-checked her instructions, I would have started a treatment that could have caused a catastrophic medical crisis for my health. After promising a resolution by the end of this week, HRC management has once again gone silent. They are attempting to withhold $5,000 for a shipment that was a direct result of their gross negligence. If you value your health and safety, be aware that this clinic prioritizes moving medication boxes over following doctor-mandated safety protocols." after shipped the nurse still saying confuse , why you shipped ?

    We truly want to thank Dr. Andy Huang and his nurse team at RPMG. Throughout the entire process,…read moreDr. Huang was always professional, attentive, and patient, which made us feel reassured every step of the way. The nurse team was also incredibly caring and supportive. Whether it was injection guidance, answering questions, or providing emotional support, they always made us feel genuinely cared for. IVF can be a very stressful journey, but having them by our side made the experience so much easier and more comforting. We are sincerely grateful and highly recommend them to anyone going through this journey.

    I've been a patient of Dr. Wambach's for a year and a half. Everything here is lacking. At a time…read morewhen you need compassion and CLARITY most, you don't get it. I could go on and on about how you are treated like cattle and how their office feels like an overrun ER vs a specialized medical practice. I found myself praying to be seen and begging them for information. Everything on your end is timely, but they have no urgency or follow through. Especially on important days when you wait around all day to hear if your transfer worked and we had to reach back out to them to remind them to inform us. I don't think this is the intention of the doctors but I've felt like I'm being held hostage by the women in billing when you exit. It's a terrible feeling to have when you're taking a bunch of hormonal medication and getting 4 different bills for one procedure (for the anesthesia, the lab, the surgical center and RPMG etc.) and you're forced to pay right there or else they will block your account. The icing on the cake for me was when the office could not handle faxing over my file to Cedars - they said it was too large and I need come to the office and physically pick it up in person. After doing so, I find out that the key referral was not included! Beyond that, I texted the doctor that I could not be seen at Cedars for another 2 months and I did not receive a text back.

    ***THIS IS A LONG OVERDUE REVIEW of Dr. Catherine DeUgarte & PFCLA. Gosh, where do we begin. In or…read moreabout March, 2020 to June, 2022, we attempted at conceiving naturally but to no avail. We discovered that one of her tubes were blocked and a few polyps needed to be surgically removed. In or about June 2022, it dawned on me that IVF was a viable option (mind you, I've never considered IVF prior to this and possibly even had subconscious bias towards it). With the new epiphany, came the relentless due diligence on Yelp, Google and the internet at large. We narrowed down the potential doctors / clinics to: 1) Dr. Wendy Chang of SCRC (Southern CA Reproductive Center in Beverly Hills) and 2) Dr. Catherine DeUgarte of CMD Fertility. (NOTE: PFCLA was not on our list at this juncture because Dr. Catherine DeUgarte had her own practice at CMD Fertility and had not yet merged with PFCLA). We ultimately took a leap of faith and went with Dr. Wendy Chang of SCRC - and our experience was disastrous. The final IVF result was an abject failure. Throughout the entire IVF process, interactions with Dr. Wendy Chang of SCRC v. our subsequent interactions with Dr. Catherine DeUgarte of PFCLA were literally night and day. Since this Yelp review is not intended to be a scathing repudiation of Dr. Wendy Chang & SCRC, I will refrain from delving into the specificities. The aforementioned account is predicated solely on our personal experience with Dr. Wendy Chang & SCRC, so it's advisable to conduct your own due diligence. After our disastrous experience with Dr. Wendy Chang & SCRC, the process of which consummated in or about December, 2022, we were disheartened, dejected, reeling and livid all at the same time, so we decided to implement a hiatus and respite from IVF altogether. Lo and behold, in January, 2023, we proceeded with the unthinkable - we began choosing an egg donor and surrogate via HATCH (an affiliate of PFCLA). We executed a contract and paid all fees up-front in order to secure a spot on the surrogate waitlist, while we began searching for an egg donor. Talk about desperation on our part. The silver lining, however, was Greg Wiles, the President of HATCH, who was phenomenal during the many telephone conferences and email exchanges. Greg was such a breath of fresh air as he patiently walked us through the entire egg donation / surrogacy process. I truly appreciate him. In or about March, 2023, we miraculously rekindled our spirits and decided to give IVF another chance. Mind you, we were then [concurrently] proceeding with both IVF and Egg Donation / Surrogacy pathways - no one has ever heard of such a concurrent process. Then came Yelping and Googling all over again for an IVF doctor / clinic. Our due diligence this time around resulted in 1 clear choice: Dr. Catherine DeUgarte of PFCLA (Note: Dr. Catherine DeUgarte of CMD Fertility merged with PFCLA in 2023). Dr. Catherine DeUgarte is literally GODSENT. After thoroughly reviewing our prior IVF case files from SCRC, Dr. Catherine DeUgarte was genuinely confident and optimistic. We trusted her through the process and she exceeded our expectations 100x over. We netted 6 healthy embryos ( "Zero" with Dr. Wendy Chang of SCRC). Go figure. Fast forward to March 28th, 2024 - OUR SON WAS BORN. ***You may take this review with a grain of salt and conduct your own due diligence. As a seasoned lawyer, however, I perform in-depth due diligence vis-à-vis any and all major decisions I make in my personal life, with the unparalleled meticulousness that you will rarely see in any individual. I want to thank PFCLA and in particular, Dr. Catherine DeUgarte. Catherine, we just want you to know that the countless hours you invest in your patients; the incredibly genuine and caring personal attention you confer to your patients; your steadfastness in providing your cell phone number to your patients; your deliberate decision to take on only a limited number of patients per year in order retain quality over quantity; and of course, your amazing clinical acumen, ARE NOT IN VAIN. Thank you Dr. DeUgarte & PFCLA.

Not only we had success with him, he has been very involved in my care and leaves nothing to chance. From the very specific and personalized protocols to the openness and availability to discuss any concern no matter how small. He has treated me on several rounds of egg retrievals, medical procedures, infinite tests and 2 transfers. He is very knowledgeable and supportive. I also cannot speak highly enough of the nursing team, Jenny in particular, who has been in constant communication with me throughout the process going above and beyond making sure I had all the information, being always patient and flexible, to my personal needs.

They charged a lot more than other centers, but delivered worse results. The patient who had her ER before me wore perfume. Didn't the embryology department know perfume contaminates embryos? Here is what to expect when you get to the procedure room: someone from the embryology department will talk down to you indifferently from a small window far away, no greeting, no self introduction. The office is unorganized. Wait times can be long.
