There are simply no words powerful enough to fully express what Suzanne means to our family. After…read more8+ long years of searching, hoping, praying, enduring heartbreak, and holding on to a dream that sometimes felt far away and impossible, we finally got to experience the most precious moment of our lives: holding our baby in our arms. And Suzanne was a true hero in that journey. Within a few months of Suzanne joining SCRC she changed our lives forever. She is truly the biggest blessing and asset to SCRC! We were almost about to transfer our embryos out of the clinic due to the previous third party manager but Suzanne gave us hope to move forward. SUZANNE was an ANGEL who came into our lives. She made us feel so loved and supported. She is so much more than an exceptional third-party concierge manager. She is a rare and extraordinary human being whose compassion, dedication, and unwavering support have made an impact on our lives that words can barely begin to capture. Throughout our surrogacy journey, she went above and beyond in ways that exceeded anything we could have ever expected. She brought reassurance when we needed it most, guidance when the path felt overwhelming, and a level of care that made us feel that we were never alone in a journey that can often feel emotionally exhausting and uncertain. What makes Suzanne truly remarkable is that she doesn't simply do her job; she puts her heart into it. (She even works on holidays! I'll never forget the match meeting call the morning of Thanksgiving). Her dedication and commitment to helping each patient is unmatched. She understands that behind every appointment, every phone call, every decision, and every milestone is a family carrying years of hope, sacrifice, and longing. She recognizes the humanity behind the process. She treats your dream as though it matters personally to her - she is your personal cheer leader. That kind of genuine compassion is something you cannot teach. It comes from the very best parts of who she is. After close to a decade of searching for our miracle, we know firsthand that the road to parenthood can be filled with uncertainty, vulnerability, and moments when you wonder whether your dream will ever become reality. Suzanne was one of the extraordinary people who helped us navigate that road. Her dedication and willingness to go the extra mile meant more to us than she may ever fully realize. She helped make an incredibly complex and emotional journey feel more manageable, more supported, and, above all, filled with hope. In our case, we finally got to hold our baby. We got to look at her face, hold her tiny hands, and experience the indescribable joy of finally becoming parents after years of longing for that moment. There is no way to measure the significance of that gift. There is no gift, award, recognition, or review that could adequately reflect the magnitude of what she has meant to us. Suzanne may see herself as someone helping coordinate a journey, but to the families she serves, she is so much more. She is an advocate, a source of strength, a steady presence during uncertainty, and a reminder that there are still people who care deeply about the dreams of others. She has left a permanent mark on our hearts, and our gratitude for her will never fade. Our clinic is incredibly fortunate to have someone like Suzanne. Her work deserves the highest recognition, not only because of how exceptionally she performs her role, but because of the profound difference she makes in people's lives. People like Suzanne are the heart of an organization. She is the reason we stayed with our clinic. Suzanne, we will never be able to thank you enough. Our baby is the greatest gift we have ever received, and when we look at her, we will always be reminded of the incredible people who helped bring us to this moment. You will forever be one of those people. You were a hero in our search for our miracle, and your kindness and dedication will always be part of our family's story. Some people make a living doing their jobs. Others change lives while doing them. Suzanne, without a doubt, belongs to the latter. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping make our dream of holding our baby come true. There are no words that could ever be enough, but we hope you know that what you have done for our family will never be forgotten. You are truly one in a million.

The insurance related issues truly…read morehave nothing to do with the office, those disputes should be between the patient and their insurance provider. Personally, I found that the only plans that cover infertility treatment are corporate, not even the highest level PPO. The staff has been extremely responsive on the app and on the phone, the nurses and ultrasound technicians are amazing and for someone who had zero expectations or knowledge of the IVF process they made me feel extremely comfortable and like I was in safe hands. I am still in the midst of my journey with Dr. Surrey, but I am super happy with my decision. Fertility is such a personal, vulnerable and fragile experience and it's really important to me to have a team that goes above and beyond to make my journey as smooth and successful as possible. As most women do, I HATE blood draws and ultrasounds and I always leave the office smiling because the team there is so warm and uplifting. It's a scary journey, but I have felt so supported throughout.

Minimal interaction with doctor, delayed appointments, failed IVF protocol, no bloodwork during…read morestimulation, missed ovulation, and concerns about incorrect IUI timing. I was debating whether to leave a review, but after reading others on Google and Yelp, I feel compelled to share my experience. I chose RPMG because I really liked Dr. Huang during our initial consultation and expected attentive, personalized care. Unfortunately, my treatment was managed almost entirely by nurses, with very limited interaction with my doctor. I'm 40, have endometriosis, and have experienced multiple pregnancy losses. We pursued IVF not because I couldn't get pregnant, but to genetically test embryos before transfer and hopefully avoid another heartbreaking loss. I'd previously had an unsuccessful IVF cycle elsewhere, but the care was excellent, so I know the difference a supportive, communicative team can make. At RPMG, none of my monitoring ultrasounds or the IUI were performed by Dr. Huang or in his presence. Appointments ran late, yet ultrasounds felt rushed, followed by another wait to speak with a nurse. Calls were rarely answered, portal responses weren't always timely, and medication instructions could have been clearer. I had no hormone bloodwork during ovarian stimulation. My progesterone was last measured on 09/23. I started IVF medications on 10/01 (CD 3), and had no further bloodwork. Monitoring consisted exclusively of ultrasounds, with no protocol adjustments despite uneven follicular growth. The clinic eventually recommended converting IVF to IUI, meaning we'd would not genetically test our embryos--the whole reason we pursued IVF. We agreed to avoid losing the cycle. On Friday, 10/09, my 3 largest follicles measured about 14 mm. I specifically expressed concern that I might ovulate over the weekend, before my Monday appointment. I was reassured everything would be fine. The plan was to trigger Monday and perform IUI Wednesday. My husband had also been told to ejaculate Sunday evening and abstain until Wednesday. When I returned on 10/12, I had already ovulated. Since I wasn't properly monitored over the weekend and hadn't taken a trigger, we had no way of knowing precisely when ovulation occurred. With the IUI moved to Monday, he'd ejaculated the previous night as instructed, leaving a much shorter abstinence interval than planned. My ultrasound was at 9:15 am, my husband rushed in to provide a sample at 11am, and the IUI happened after 1pm. The IUI was performed by a nurse practitioner without Dr. Huang present. Afterward, I waited over 30 minutes to ask about the semen sample, was promised a callback that never came, and was simply told to take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks. IUI is typically timed around ovulation, often 24-36 hours after a trigger injection, so sperm are present when the egg is released. The clinics original plan is consistent with this. Delays after ovulation may reduce success rates, which are already low at 40. I was concerned that we might have missed the optimal window. I was reassured that the timing was fine, but how could they be certain when we didn't know whether I had ovulated on Saturday, Sunday, overnight, or Monday morning? Why wasn't any bloodwork performed? At my prior clinic, I was routinely monitored throughout the cycle and changes to the medication were timely made. I can't help but wonder whether the holiday weekend affected my monitoring and care. Despite the medically recommended conversion, I was told an IVF cancellation fee would apply and the ultrasounds would no longer be covered by our package. Everything happened so quickly Monday that I signed consent without receiving an IUI cost estimate or explanation of what was included. When I asked about our refund and an itemized statement, I was told it would take at least a week, with no indication of when we'd receive our refund. Fertility treatment is emotionally, physically, and financially demanding, and I expected better. Please research clinics carefully. I certainly didn't take the negative reviews seriously enough.

After a terrible experience at RMA with my egg freezing, I spoke with almost every fertility doctor in Los Angeles to make sure I had the right fit for my embryo creation and transfer.

Dr. Goldstein was great but at the time she was the only doctor there and seemed overworked and tired and probably brought up donor eggs with us too soon. But overall I understand her giving us all our options. I'm sure she's even better now with new providers working with her. She was there for every appointment and answered every email personally. What made my experience so sour was the finance department. They were disorganized , didn't explain things well and argued with us when they were wrong, also over charged us. I had to do their job , calling our insurance to verify coverage and submit info bc they didn't on time. I felt like i was working for them. For example : saying ICSI wasn't covered, when it was. It would've cost us thousands+ When I brought it up I was greeted by frustration, condescending tone and rudeness. The statement "we know what we are doing" yet our insurance company has documentation of them not submitting things correctly or not submitting at all. We were so lucky to have the insurance team be so supportive at the time. I hope things are better now but beware and double check your costs. You're already going through enough stress - you don't need to make sure their job is done right too.

***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.
