Goodie bag and folder you get on 1st visit
Anna T.

Wow my first session here and it was so throughly explained! I've been to one from my insurance and also to the college but this was such a pleasant and different experience! They did a meridian scan and I was impressed. What it showed was exactly how I was feeling. Dr. Jo came in and then went over the results and did my acupuncture session. After 20 mins I already felt better. Since it was my first visit they also gave me a goodie bag filled with treats and water to hydrate myself. Highly recommend this place! Such great energy they have at this office. So pleasant from being greeted right when checking in and every person I encountered.

Reception area

This is my first experience with acupuncture and was well taken care of. Everything was explained thoroughly . The staff at Lee Acupuncture is also so thoughtful and kind. On my birthday, they gave me a birthday card with a special discount for treatment. Along with the acupuncture treatment, I am also taking herbs. After 3 treatments, I'm already starting to feel a difference.

I wanted to wait a couple months before writing this review to give this acupuncture business an accurate assessment based on the outcomes I've obtained. I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have taken the holistic approach to treating my disease. I decided to try acupuncture to see if it could assist with my inflammation and pain. I did my research and decided to try Lee Acupuncture based on all the positive reviews. There were even a few reviews coming from arthritis patients who had obtained good results. They're located in a small business plaza that borders Costa Mesa & Newport Beach. The big "Melton Int'l Tackle" sign is a good landmark. They are located all the way down the alley on the right. Free parking is available. The office itself is rather small with 3-4 patient rooms and a small waiting area that's comfortably furnished with 2 chairs, a sofa and some snacks & water. I was pleased to learn that my insurance covered the first 6 sessions (per year) at $40 co-pay per session. After that the rate goes up, but you can buy a package that offers lower rates. The very 1st session was interesting, as they hooked me up to a machine to determine how balanced my energy was flowing internally. It highlighted key areas of improvement. The belief is that the more balanced I am, the less inflammation I will have. Each session is about 1/2 an hour. I started going twice a week, and now I go once a week. I was assigned to Dr. Kim who thoroughly explained everything to me prior to starting, and continues to remain helpful and caring. He inserts the needles in various areas, primarily my hands, feet and head. Sometimes it hurts a little when the needles go in, and a couple times I've bled after the needles came out, but that's probably because it hit a vein. I lay on the table for 1/2 hour and feel very relaxed afterwards. In addition to the acupuncture, I take herbs that I purchase from them for $90 for 1 weeks worth. They said it's very important to keep taking the herbs as it assists with the healing process. I had also read about this online. I take the herbs 2x a day (AM & PM) with food. I mix the herbs with a little water and drink it like a tea. After approximately two months of acupuncture and drinking herbs, I can positively say that my inflammation has gone down significantly. I took a photo of my inflammation on my hands & feet prior to starting, and there has been a big improvement! I will definitely continue seeing Dr. Kim, and I'm so happy I discovered Lee Acupuncture.

After meeting with many different OB's and fertility specialists, I was very impressed with Dr Ghazal. I honestly felt a major sense of relief when I met her. She really knew what she was doing. & if something didn't work out, she seemed confident that she would find a way. Not only was she brilliant, and well versed in our situation, (which I felt was super complicated at the time), she was also incredibly empathetic with great bedside manner (not something you get in the medical field hardly ever). We worked with their clinic for a year and a half and they helped us navigate a lot of hurdles. But after all the challenges, I'm sitting here now, 14 weeks pregnant with our miracle child. Embryo #3. Which I'm still just in complete awe of. I would also like to comment on how amazing the entire team is. Evelyn, Taylor, Mary, Angie, and Sara were all incredible. They were always cheerful, empathetic, they knew us by name, and they understood what we were going through. As much as it is hard to go through any kind of fertility treatment, I always enjoyed going into the office. And big shout out to Heidi who patiently answered so many of my questions (& there were many), even when I asked them multiple times. She always called me back the same day. She was an incredible nurse and always made time for us. I couldn't recommend this team enough, as they have given us the greatest gift. Thank you RISE for changing our lives. We are SO grateful.

I spent 9 months with Dr. Anderson and left with no progress and a recommendation to consider donor…read moreeggs. I'm writing this so no one in a similar situation wastes the same precious time I did. Background: I came to him at 36 with severe DOR -- AMH of 0.03 and FSH consistently above 15. His approach was to wait until my FSH naturally fell to 15 or below before starting IVF. For someone in perimenopause, that's very unlikely. He also refuses to use estrogen priming to help lower FSH, citing egg quality concerns -- a position that, per multiple other specialists I've since spoken to, is not backed by current evidence. The biggest driver of egg quality is age, not estrogen priming. After nearly a year of waiting, disappointing appointments, and being told donor eggs might be my only option, I found Dr. Wayne Lin at FCOC (Amazing doctor!!). He immediately came up with a game plan, starting with estrogen priming. I told him what Dr. A said and Lin assured me the biggest driver of egg quality is age, not estrogen priming. Lin put me on estrogen to bring my FSH down and started IVF right away. He gave me a realistic 30% chance of a normal embryo at my age. His facts were exact. Out of 3 eggs retrieved, only 1 was normal. She is now my healthy, bouncing, 14-month-old daughter. I later found out that Dr. Anderson is widely considered one of the most conservative fertility doctors in Orange County, and that some of his data points and methods appear to be outdated. His bedside manners are also a 5/10. At one appointment, as he walked in for yet another day 3 ultrasound and commented, "Boy, you're persistent". I was surprised, but I was willing to put up with him because I thought he was the best. However, I later found that Lin is a much more skilled doctor with unbeatable bedside manners. As for the office itself, it runs efficiently -- you're rarely waiting more than 10 minutes, and the finance department is genuinely skilled at navigating insurance issues, which is no small thing in the fertility world. The nursing staff was a mixed bag; about two-thirds were nice, but the remaining third had a cold, very 'Newport Beach' vibe -- like you were an inconvenience rather than a patient going through one of the hardest experiences of your life. That contrast was especially noticeable after switching to Dr. Lin's office, where every single nurse is kind and empathetic without exception. Conclusion: If your FSH is over 15 and he won't start IVF: LEAVE. Get a second opinion now. Time matters enormously in fertility treatment, and I wish someone had told me this sooner.

Yet, at the consultation yesterday, I was blindsided when the doctor told me they do not offer these services to women older than 46. The staff scheduling appointments should know this and be transparent. I could have mentally prepared to hear they could only offer using donor sperm AND eggs. Furthermore, when I scheduled, I asked if they did labs and US for AFC on the same day, to which they replied yes. Yesterday, I was on day 3 of my menstrual cycle, the optimal timing for these studies. None of these studies were offered. Of note, other fertility centers check an AFC as part of their initial consultation to guide the recommendations. That makes sense! Assuming infertility based on age is dismissive. I haven't even tried natural conception. My personal data (labs and AFC) would have helped to understand my fertility potential, rather than applying research from primarily black/white/asian data on a Latina and condemning me to using other people's DNA. Charging $75 to schedule an appointment without transparency of their services to then bill a consult is unacceptable. I gave an additional star because I was given a referral to a center that treats women over 46. I was offered to cancel the consult, but I chose to continue so I could try to understand the options they offer. Furthermore, the front desk staff was unable to answer a simple question of how long HRC has been in business. This location did not meet my expectations, but hopeful it will for others.

Today I officially graduated from CCRM Newport, and my heart is filled with so much gratitude…read more This IVF journey was not always easy, but I feel incredibly lucky to have had such an amazing team by my side. Dr. Dilday, I truly cannot thank you enough. From our very first appointment, your kindness, patience, and confidence made me feel that I was in the best hands. You always took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and make me feel cared for as a person, not just a patient. I will always be grateful that you were the doctor who guided us through such an important chapter of our lives. Dr. Abhari, thank you for taking such wonderful care of me during my egg retrieval.

Dr. Elizabeth Dilday is wonderful, and if I were rating her alone, it would be 5 stars without a…read moresecond thought. But this review is about my entire experience with egg freezing here -- and the frustrations have buried the highlights. I genuinely wanted to love this place. I just can't. Start with billing, which has been a nightmare. I need my invoices for medical reimbursement -- that's money I'm owed back -- and despite staff promising to "expedite things," it took 2.5 to 3 months to get them, lack of email responses, calls with no number to call back, extensions that only goes to empty voicemails, after they'd sat marked "pending" for nearly two months. And when I finally reviewed the charges, the refund amounts had been added up wrong. So now I'm double-checking their math too. To fix it, I had to chase a separate department on East Coast time, which became an endless game of phone tag. Their billing is somehow both impossible to reach and disorganized once you do. I came on a referral specifically for Dr. Dilday, and everything was fine -- until the morning of my procedure, when I was casually told she wouldn't be performing it. Instead it'd be whoever was on rotation. How is the day-of an acceptable time to learn that the entire reason I chose this clinic isn't the person operating on me? A heads-up days in advance is not a big ask. Dr. Dilday did visit me, which was genuinely sweet -- but one kind gesture can't paper over how poorly this was communicated. Then the anesthesia, which still upsets me. I told the anesthesia team and every doctor that I come out of anesthesia rough -- clearly and repeatedly. Nobody believed me. The anesthesiologist brushed me off, saying that in all his years he'd never had a problem, and any issues before were because I hadn't had him. Well -- I had an adverse reaction. I woke up in traumatic, screaming pain, a 20 out of 10, exactly what I'd warned about. I wish he'd taken me seriously as he weaned me off the medication after the OR. My recovery was far worse than the two similar procedures I've had before -- genuinely concerning -- and I'm left wondering if it was the technique, the anesthesia, or both. When a patient tells you exactly what will happen to their body and you ignore them, this is what you get. Now the pharmacy. CCRM uses an outside pharmacy, and that was its own disaster. The driver "missed the delivery window," and then management couldn't even locate their own driver for hours. When they finally found him, he had to meet me at a dinner venue -- where I walked out in front of all my friends to grab a giant cooling box for medication I did not want to explain to anyone. I was over an hour and a half late to my event, then had to inconvenience someone to store the meds in their fridge, which meant sharing a deeply personal situation I'd have preferred to keep private. I basically lost a whole day on the phone juggling team members over a pickup that should have been a simple delivery. And all that chaos traced back to one decision: the clinic sent only a single day's loaned dose. So of course I then had to call the on-call doctor after hours to report I didn't have what I needed for day two. I still don't understand why they couldn't just loan two days' worth so nobody has to scramble. It got worse. Right before my trigger injection -- the most time-sensitive, do-not-mess-this-up part of the whole process -- the on-call doctor clearly hadn't read the notes from the physician before him. He instructed me to start a medication I was never given and that was never ordered. I was at work, and he sent me into a full panic attack, because I couldn't drop everything to figure out what I supposedly had, literally the second-to-last day before my trigger. The lack of professionalism, the broken handoffs, the total breakdown in communication between departments, physicians, and billing -- it has genuinely let me down. And it's worse because this could be such a great place. The talent is here, the reputation is real, and I drove two hours each way because of it. I could have stayed local, but I took the referral and did my research -- only to find out how much exhausting, unnecessary work this would be. Roughly four months later, I'm still chasing invoices that don't add up or aren't complete enough to even submit. Fertility patients are already carrying enough emotionally, physically, and financially. It should not be this exhausting. The anxiety, the frustration, the helplessness, and the feeling of not being heard at times really don't make this experience with CCRM. I wish it wasn't so, and I am so sorry for leaving this review, but i really don't wish this upon anyone who is coming hoping for a good result.

He seems to love what he does. I'm sad I'll have to find a new doctor when we move in a couple months. I highly recommend Dr. Mahller and his team. The entire staff at Orange County OBGYN is great. I also had the pleasure of seeing Tabitha Indries, NP, for a couple of my appointments during my most recent pregnancy, and she was kind, genuine, personable, and went out of her way to discuss and address all of my questions and concerns. Lastly, their patient portal is very convenient, and Dr. Mahller answers questions through the portal extremely quickly, which has been SO helpful and appreciated!

I just want to give a quick shout-out to the receptionist who helped me this afternoon around 12:30…read morepm. My wife scheduled me a same-day lab appointment for 1:30pm. I happened to be nearby and decided to stop by to see if they could take me in at 12:30pm. The receptionist was very kind and willing to see me earlier than my appointment. I didn't get her name, but shout-out to her. The lady who took my labs was also very nice. Very friendly staff!

I would not recommend West Coast Fertility based on our experience. What began as a consultation…read moreturned into a pattern of medication errors, poor communication, inadequate preparation for a painful procedure, rushed care, and repeated billing problems that ultimately caused my fiancé and me to discontinue treatment. The first major concern was that I was prescribed a medication that I am allergic to. In fertility treatment, where medication management is critical, that immediately raised concerns about attention to detail. Our consultation/procedure was scheduled for a specific amount of time because both my fiancé and I were attending during our lunch breaks. The appointment ran substantially over. During the visit, the physician took a phone call, and by the end everything felt rushed because we needed to return to work. During my procedure, I experienced severe pain and ultimately passed out afterward. I understand that patients tolerate procedures differently, but I did not feel adequately prepared for the possibility of that level of pain or what to expect. The billing issues are what ultimately destroyed our confidence. Before the appointment, we received written communication stating that my responsibility would be $500 for the hysterosonogram and that Natera would carry a $30 copay. The same email stated that if my spouse had Natera plus his infectious-disease panel drawn, there would be a $30 copay for his appointment as well. His insurance was not verified before his blood was drawn. He did not learn until afterward that the clinic said they could not use his Kaiser insurance for the infectious-disease testing. He was then charged $500. When I questioned that charge, the clinic emailed that they were unsure why he had been charged the full amount and that they could refund $470. Later, the explanation changed. We were told the $500 was for the infectious-disease panel and that he had agreed to pay it. Our issue was not whether he eventually handed over his card after the testing had already been performed. The issue was that he was not given clear pricing and an opportunity to decline a $500 out-of-pocket test before the service was performed. There was also a separate Natera billing issue. Before testing, the only written pricing we received from the clinic was a $30 copay. Only after testing was completed were we told Natera could cost $649, with a purported West Coast Fertility contracted rate of $250. I then received an approximately $1,100 Natera bill. My own billing also required correction. I paid $500 at the appointment, but after insurance processed the claim, my EOB showed a lower patient responsibility and I had to request a refund. At that point, the issue was no longer just money. It was the pattern: medication error, inadequate preparation for a painful procedure, a rushed appointment, failure to verify insurance and pricing in advance, conflicting financial information, and repeated billing corrections. We tried repeatedly to resolve this privately. I explained in writing that fertility treatment requires trust, coordination, and attention to detail, and that we needed our confidence restored before proceeding. Instead, we ultimately decided we could not trust the process enough to continue treatment there. I escalated the concerns to Dr. Vitaly Kushnir, Medical Director. His response was essentially that the clinic followed its written financial policies and that we had signed forms placing responsibility for insurance and outside lab costs on patients. I understand clinics have financial policies. What that did not resolve for us was the more specific issue: we were given concrete pricing in writing immediately before the appointment, services were performed based on that understanding, and substantially different financial obligations were disclosed afterward. That distinction was never meaningfully addressed to our satisfaction. Fertility treatment is already medically, emotionally, and financially demanding. Patients should feel confident that medications are reviewed carefully, procedures are explained thoroughly, insurance is verified appropriately, and expected costs are communicated transparently before services are performed. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we did not have that confidence here.

I have been seeing Dr Moayeri for a couple of years now for various things...fertility testing,…read morefertility treatments, and most recently she did my egg retrieval. The clinic, the staff, their surgery center, their lab, the embryologists-- they are all about quality care...And they really do care. You can feel it the moment you walk into the office. It's already hard to find a doctor that is both skilled and has bedside manner and Dr Moayeri has both. I will say she is very clinical. I trust her & her team and could not recommend them more.

I am so incredibly grateful for Dr. Moayeri, Jamie NP, and the rest of the amazing team at OC…read morefertility. After years of heartbreak, disappointment, and multiple failed transfers at a previous clinic, I decided to put my trust in OC Fertility and am so glad I did. I was not an easy case by any means, but Dr. Moayeri took on the challenge and was ultimately successful. She individualized my FET protocol with great precision and did daily blood work monitoring and frequent ultrasound checks. All previous doctors used a cookie cutter approach which unfortunately did not work on me! I am now approaching my second trimester of pregnancy with my miracle baby and am so thrilled! I highly recommend OC Fertility to anyone looking for highly personalized and expert fertility care.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Reproductive Fertility Center for making our dream of…read morebecoming parents come true. Today, we're blessed with our precious baby boy, who is almost 4 months old. A special shout out to Paula, Yaretzi, Ai, Lori, and especially Dr. James Lin. Paula is simply the best always incredibly responsive, on top of every detail, and quick to answer all of our questions while keeping us updated on lab work and results. Dr. Lin took the time to thoroughly explain every step, shared an incredible wealth of knowledge, and gave us complete confidence throughout the entire journey. The entire team made us feel welcomed, supported, and cared for every step of the way. After two unsuccessful IUI cycles, we moved on to IVF. We were blessed with just one embryo, and by God's grace, that one embryo became our beautiful son. Our journey was filled with uncertainty, hope, and perseverance, making him our little miracle. If you're struggling to conceive, we wholeheartedly recommend Dr. James Lin and the amazing team at Reproductive Fertility Center. They truly changed our lives, and we'll be forever grateful.
