I would give Dr. Schmidt 100 stars if I could! I have not seen such a highly specialized, highly accomplished doctor to be so patient and spend so much time with each patient, answering each question, calling the patient for check ins, and comforting the patient when anxious. I always felt heard, cared for, and in great hands. Never worried about the most complcomplicated peocedure. He made me feel comfortable and relaxd. His practice is extremely professional, everyone is so knowledgeable and caring. They offered help with almost everything, even with simple injections. If you're considering IVF, you must come to.Dr. Schmidt's practice. Period. read more

I would absolutely not recommend Nova IVF if you are a more medically complex. I had one consult with Dr Sokalska and have no interest in proceeding with treatment at this clinic. 1. She told me I was too fat for the weight limit on their procedure table and dismissively asked "you can lose the weight, right?" I haven't seen never encountered a medical facility with a table that couldn't hold me and honestly if she couldn't treat me as I am, the conversation should have ended there. 2. She argued with me about my own medical conditions in regards to the anesthesia I'd need for egg retrieval. It's not her area of expertise and the correct answer should have been, "given the complications you've had, let's set up a meeting with our anesthesiologist to see if they are comfortable doing your procedure here." Or even "we've had patients with your set of issues before." 3. She shamed me for not starting IVF sooner. Even though I've been following the medical advice of another fertility doctor. There were a couple other things, but these were the most egregious. Her overall attitude and demeanor were extremely blunt for someone that is helping people through an emotionally challenging period. She didn't seem equipped to handle my case and given what she said to me, I didn't want to try. Highly disappointed given the personal recommendation we had going in. read more

We have received the best care at Nova IVF, from the initial consultation until my graduation to an OB office. Dr. Shah took her time to carefully walk through the entire process with me, answering all my questions and encouraging me along the way. Danielle (NP) also took such great care of me at every single visit. After my first round of egg retrieval, the clinic adjusted my treatment plan in hopes of a more successful second round - which worked! I have graduated after the first embryo transfer and am having a smooth pregnancy so far. I'm so glad to have chosen Nova to start my family, and I will be returning in the future! read more

I had an incredibly positive experience with Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Shah, and the entire team. Both doctors are very knowledgeable and professional, but also compassionate and thoughtful in their communication. Both doctors and support staff always took the time to explain each step of the process, including possible outcomes and what to expect, which made me feel informed and supported. I appreciated that I always spoke directly with the doctors, even for routine updates like fertilization numbers or pregnancy results. That said, the nursing staff and care coordinator were just as exceptional; consistently responsive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. We had to wait several months before we could be seen, which was difficult as I was impatient to get started. But in the end, it was absolutely worth it. From just one egg retrieval, we now have several frozen embryos and are currently pregnant with our first transfer. While we can't say how things might have gone at another clinic, both my husband and I feel that the wait was well worth it. read more

I've been very busy with my new bundle joy and have delayed providing my review. That sentence alone should tell you how amazing I find Nova. The doctors (Dr shah, Dr Schmidt) are amazing. Dr Schmidt in my consultation provided such clear medical reasoning to why my endo could be still impacting why I can't get pregnant. He was very thoughtful and provided a lot of time for my husband and I to ask questions. Dr. shah was so empathetic at every appointment and really both doctors are amazing. I really want to say the staff that help you every single way through were amazing. They are the real grunt workers there. Teaching my husband how to get comfortable giving injections, taking my late night call so I understood how many syringes to use. I can't describe in words how nice this staff was during such a difficult time. Negative thing it is out of network so dealing with payments is a bit tough but honestly that's more to say about the health insurance company than Nova. Nova gives you world class help and truly made the process so much easier than expected I have a beautiful girl now and really have to thank them for everything! Would give them 10 stars if I could read more

Dr. Shaw is one of the foremost experts on challenging IVF cases; she's especially good at difficult implantations and thin uterline linings! She is very much on the cutting edge of this in terms of science; not only is she up to date on all the latest scientific publications, she herself is working on a pre-publication on a treatment for thin uterline linings! We had failed twice at a different clinic, but with Dr. Shaw, it's one and done - we are expecting now in March 2025!! Her staff and and office personel are extremely supportive (please don't misconstrue their persistent requests for information for being annoying - they are just trying to maximize your chances!!) and I would highly recommend Nova IVF to anyone who's looking to do IVF! PS: SARTonline only reports past results that are *years* old - they often don't reflect the departure and arrival of really good doctors; as a result, we have found that online reviews have been a better source of current information than SARTonline, which is unfortunate but it's the truth! read more

I don't even know where to start with this review. After researching many IVF locations, I came across NOVA IVF, the absolute BEST DECISION of my life. From the moment I set up my appointment to the very end, Dr. Shah and her team are remarkable, passionate, personal, attentive, and caring. The whole process was smooth sailing with their excellent communication skills. As you may know, it's a learning process, and I had many, many questions about medications, timing, etc. The nurses are always on top of their communication skills. They are with you every step of the way, literally. They made my wife and myself, feel comfortable with them from the beginning. I'm forever grateful Dr. Shah and her team were a part of our journey to starting a family. After receiving a positive pregnancy test, we received a gift from NOVA, Betsey, the photographer. A very thoughtful gift. Betsey was fantastic, she knew what she was doing, beautiful pictures. Her assistant was able to help us with their upgraded packages, and we received the pictures very quickly! We will be returning soon, as we want our family to grow. Thank you. P.S. We commuted from Stanislaus County just for them, they are that great! :) read more

NOVA IVF - Fertility Near Me - Mountain View, California

This review is long overdue! Prior to Nova, we had done a couple IUIs through Kaiser Santa Clara & the experience wasn't great. Nova has top notch customer service. A bulk of the ongoing communication was mostly done through emails. Everyone is super responsive, warm & caring. Laura is excellent with handling the finances. Their phone service is awesome when you have emergency questions after hours too! I was under Dr Shah's care through my retrieval & both transfers. I had my hesitations with ivf due to fear of needles but without this team, we couldn't possibly have had babies on our own. We had unexplainable fertility for a couple years & then when my husband had to undergo chemotherapy, we were crushed. My mind is still blown that they were able to just shave a little part of the frozen sperm to create our embryos. Their staff offered to do progesterone shots for you during the process, which I know Kaiser wouldn't do for their patients. Also, Nova allowed for a combo of pills & bi weekly shots. I am forever grateful that we came across & got in with Nova when we did. My son is currently almost 3 & my daughter will soon be 1. Thank you so much Nova for a soothing experience through a stressful journey. read more

Nova IVF is OUTSTANDING. I truly mean this objectively, and as a healthcare provider myself. Every aspect of this clinic is top notch- and is a well oiled machine- meant in the greatest way possible. Things run so smoothly and every detail is taken care of without me having to worry or remember anything :) on top of that everyone (and I literally mean every single staff member) has been genuinely kind, helpful, and on top of things. Dr.Shah is incredibly knowledgeable, on top of every little thing, kind and compassionate. She has overseen my care the past few years and has been able to figure out and problem solve in ways that other clinics have not. The whole team at Nova are outstanding- from the front desk, all the amazing nurses, the NPs and also Dr. Schmidt of course. Communication is excellent - super fast responses, always answering calls and emails, Scheduling was easy and they always tried to accommodate my early before work appt requests. Thank you everyone! I can't recommend this clinic enough! read more

I really can't say enough about NOVA IVF! I'm 21 weeks pregnant thanks to their incredible knowledge, skill and professionalism. Dr. Shah in particular was amazing and went above and beyond. She made sure she did everything, including an extremely difficult and uncommon procedure to prepare for my embryo transfer, that ultimately led to a healthy pregnancy on the first try. Dr. Shah is smart and compassionate (and also an outspoken advocate for women's health issues!), and I'm so grateful that I found her. I have equally glowing things to say about the rest of the staff. From the nurses to the staff out front, I always knew I was receiving the absolute best care. I still tear up thinking about the smiles on all their faces the day we saw my baby's heartbeat for the first time. Fertility treatment is hard, but, if you have to do it, NOVA is the best possible option. Hands down. read more

As I wait the arrival of my little one, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to each and everyone at Nova for bringing me to this moment. From the first day, I was met with warmth, compassion, and expertise that exceeded all expectations. Dr. Shah and Dr. Schmidt, your expertise, dedication, kindness, and genuine care throughout both my egg retrieval and IVF journey has meant more to me than words can express. The amazing nurses, embryologists, and the whole team at Nova, thank you for your support and kindness, and quick responses to all my silly inquiries! You made this journey into one filled with hope, positivity, and so much joy for me. You made my journey to parenthood an incredibly special and positive experience. I would recommend this team to anyone in a heartbeat! read more

We scheduled consultation with Dr. Charles at 11 am , he showed up on zoom at 11:30 and we had short conversations he seems super tired and didn't want to talk about our case , then we got the bill of $395 and treat us if we are not going to pay they will send it to collection agency. I called and Spoke with Winy about it and I explained the zoom and I told her Dr didn't spend time with us to go over the IFV procedures , she rudely said no that is the $395 and I have to pay ,and she hanged up on me twice and 3rd time she transferred me to another person . They want to rip off people for only 10-15 minutes of the time that the Dr spent with us plus Winy shouldn't be in front desk talking to clients aggressively, she needs some kind of training then work for this clinic , she doesn't know how to communicate with clients at all . When I told the guy I will send me feedback, he didn't care about it too much. read more

I previously had infertility treatments at Kaiser and I was surprised, as someone who worked in health care--how much I was treated as a number, instead of as a person.This led me on my IVF search. My husband and I made the best choice to go through IVF with Nova! Infertility is an emotional rollercoaster and Nova was with us every step of the way. Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Shah showed they cared--from the first video consultation to the last bittersweet graduation from their clinic. I had a few challenging bumps in the road with delayed transfers because my uterine lining was not thick enough. However, I put my full trust in the doctors and we're glad we did because they found a treatment that worked the best for me! All the nurses and front staff are lovely and very responsive. Extra special shoutout to Laura--who was amazing when helping me with frustrating insurance billing experiences. I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and will be welcoming my baby boy very soon - all thanks to Nova IVF! I couldn't be happier and recommend anyone going through infertility to consider Nova IVF. This is how an IVF clinic should be :) read more

Outstanding procedure and care provided by Dr. Shah, Dr. Schmidt and their support team. Both my children (now 4y and 7m) were successfully conceived through Ivf at Nova. Also, Laura and Butch from the front office work diligently to negotiate with providers and leverage all possible benefits so we could save costs. Staff are responsible, diligent and very nice to work with. The clinic has overall good processes, program management and work flows so it runs very smoothly. read more

Both doctors are great. My son is 18 months now. If you have a difficult case they can help you.

I will forever be Thankful to Dr. Schmidt and his Amazing Team. Thanks to them I am a Mom of a 2 year old and a 6 month old. I was very lucky to get an appointment within a few weeks (there's usually a long waiting list). We met with Dr Schmidt and, soon after, I received my treatment plan and started the IVF process. Fortunately, we had enough embryos to have 2 successful transfers and one embryo left in storage. Dr Schmidt and his team made this whole process as stress-free and painless as it can possibly be. They answered all my questions and were always one call away whenever I needed them. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, they deserve it! They have a long wait list for a very good reason, they are the best in the Bay Area. I wish you Luck in your fertility journey. Zaira read more

See all

After my first child was born, I struggled for 3 years getting pregnant again. I either couldn't get pregnant, or when I did, I would miscarry. I yearned so much for a second baby so that my child would have a sibling. I started asking around and doing my research on fertility clinics. I heard NOVA IVF was the best fertility clinic in the Bay Area with the highest success rate so I decided to go with them, and boy am I glad I did. I have been a patient of theirs for less than a year and now I am 10 weeks pregnant with another boy! I am beyond grateful to have worked with such a wonderful fertility treatment team! NOVA IVF had given me such compassionate and supportive care. The team was very thorough and clear with their treatment process, providing me with step-by-step instructions to follow. All the medical workers were very knowledgeable and always available with answers when I had questions. Thank you, NOVA IVF, especially Dr. Shaw, for making the impossible happen for me! read more

From the moment we had our first consultation with Dr. Schmidt, we knew we would be in good hands with Nova IVF. From that first conversation, we felt heard and knew we would be taken care of during this incredibly important experience of starting our family. Every team member we interacted with during the whole process was warm, kind, patient, and understanding. They take the time to get to know you, not just as a patient but as a person too. The staff was always very responsive and accommodating. Dr. Schmidt is an exceptional doctor who always made us feel confident and at ease. Our appreciation and gratitude for Nova IVF truly knows no bounds. Making the choice to go with Nova is one of the best decisions we have ever made and we would recommend them in a heartbeat. read more

I wish there were 6 stars to give. Intuitively from the day I started searching for a new IVF clinic I came across Nova and I just knew they were the ones for us. Everyone has been so kind to us. Today was my last day at Nova but lots of tears not sad tears, tears of thankfulness. The genuine care and love I have received from Nova can never be matched. I'm not just saying this because my first transfer was successful even if it wasn't they we always team us! So I thank you all each and every medical assistant,, doctor, Np & especially Dr. Shah after all we have the same name. :-) I love you guys and thank you again from the bottom of my heart and soul. Updates to come. read more

I had a very lovely experience at Nova IVF. All the staff there are very kind and caring here. I felt very well taken care off and they did a great job monitoring me to make sure that I am on track. I really like the medication and dosage that they created for me because my body responded well to it and recovery was very quick. Very happy to have met the staff at Nova IVF and bi thanks to Danielle who took great care of me through my entire cycle. I will be recommending this place to friends and family if they ever need the assistance. read more

I heard great things so I was happy I was able to get an appointment. Unfortunately my blood test numbers were less than desirable. The doctor made me feel that with my numbers where they were at, there was no hope. Not any talk of possibilities, or anything I was willing to try, or even donor eggs. I felt easily dismissed. I went twice and never returned. I had luck at a different clinic and I'm currently due in January. read more

My wife and I are so grateful to Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Shah, Laura and the whole team at Nova IVF for the care and guidance we received during our multiple IVF cycles. The whole team is amazing ! After a negative experience at a different clinic, we were pleasantly surprised by the professionalism, attentiveness and personal care shown to us by the Nova team. Our case was not easy, but Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Shah stayed optimistic and they refined our protocols for better results at each cycle. We received personal calls from both Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Shah with regular updates on our progress at every step. The Nova team renewed our hope in starting a family and we are currently expecting our first child! We would definitely recommend Nova IVF to anyone looking for a fertility care! They are the best! read more

Felt that I was not listened to and had to switch clinics. Once I did, doctor was receptive and I had twins with the first try

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Shah, Dr. Schmidt, and the whole Nova IVF team. They treat you like family and take the time in getting to know you and work to find the right protocol and plan for you. Dr. Shah was so supportive. She would personally call to give updates. She worked with me to make sure I understood what is going on, took in consideration our wants and needs, and made sure I was comfortable with everything. The whole Nova IVF team are so friendly, helpful, supportive, and knowledgable. We have been to other doctors who treat you like you are just another patient, but Dr. Shah makes it feel like she is right there with you as if she is on this journey as well. This is the kind of doctor and team you want when going through such an emotional and difficult process. read more

Dr. Meera Shah is a remarkable doctor who, more than her expertise and unbeatable pedigree, shines for her kindness and compassion. You will immediately feel as though she is your advocate and champion. When we got some unexpected results, Dr. Shah was patient and warm. She took the time to thoroughly explain our options and ensure that we felt able to make informed decisions. She was more responsive by email than any other provider I've had, and even called us personally to update us on treatment changes. She did everything she could to flex around my work schedule, insofar as my body would allow. We felt so well cared for by her and her team. We also had egg-cellent (sorry) results! Further, Nova was a remarkable clinic - felt more parts spa than medical facility. Staff were not only incredibly kind, but thoughtful and prompt with information about treatment. read more

Let me start off by saying I am one of the few patients Dr. Schmidt wasn't able to help. This was no fault of his or his team's, I just seem to be an unusual case. And that's okay, it happens sometimes. With that said, I still give him and his staff the highest marks for professionalism and support. From the front desk staff, who were always warm and friendly, to the nurses, I always felt everyone was cheering us on and ready to answer any questions we had. I know some people have complained about the long wait list but keep in mind that Dr. Schmidt is in high demand because he's outstanding at what he does. He also does everything he can to be there for his patients, including coming in on holidays if necessary in order to do an egg retrieval. There is ALWAYS someone there to answer a phone, not a phone service. If you have to leave a message, it is returned promptly. From the first day we had our consultation, and mind you this was not our first fertility consultation, we were glad we went with Nova. Dr. Schmidt was patient, thorough, and explained the whole fertility process and procedure in terms that are easy to understand. He took his time, answered all our questions, and had a wonderful bedside manner. It's very obvious he is passionate about his work and cares about his patients. The medical support staff (which may have changed since we were there) I interacted with most were Dani and Stephanie. Both young women were very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. Laura, who is at the front desk and handles billing, is a rock star. Again, friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable. The billing is complicated and can be overwhelming, just like the treatment calendar and medications but Laura handles it all with grace and patience to make sure that you understand everything. In my particular case, we did the retrieval but none of the eggs made it to day 5 where we could do a transfer. Each update was delivered by Dr. Schmidt himself, not a nurse, not Laura. I really appreciated that, especially because things went downhill after what seemed to be a strong start and it helped to talk to him about the medical technicalities and what steps to take moving forward. If I were to do IVF again, I would not hesitate to go back to him. My brother and sister in law were actually able to have a baby thanks to Dr. Schmidt! So I would not hesitate to send other friends and family his way too. read more

The billing department is very greedy. I bought 2 times IVF treatment package in 2018.At that time, my insurance didn't cover my IVF treatment.So I paid all the treatment costs to Nova by myself.The amount was more than 20 thousands dollars.In 2019, I was lucky to have a very good new insurance and it could covered my IVF treatment.So I asked Nova to help me to submit reimbursement that the treatment fee happened during the 2019 to my insurance company.The director of the Nova billing department agreed and refunded the first time's reimbursement fee. But I shocked that Nova withheld my second reimbursement fee and refused to pay me！I couldn't do anything about the dishonourable behavior.I hope you get some lessons from my bad experience. Even got more ridiculous,because I had patient balance due,I needed to pay money to insurance for the second reimbursement that I didn't get any money.Of course I refused to pay it.So today I still receive the billing from the insurance company. read more

Nova Clinic is the BEST of the best. I can't believe someone puts one star because they have to wait several months for an appointment. This clinic is top notch & is in great demand for a reason! We were referred by my husbands Urologist. We had the opportunity to have 80% of IVF covered by insurance if we went with an "in network" fertility clinic however after meeting with Dr. Schmidt we knew he was the one who could help us. We paid out of pocket and it's worth every penny. Dr. Schmidt is genuine, honest and knowledgeable. His staff is caring, hard working and extremely organized. His office was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. A+ in every aspect. They also have an excellent rating in successful pregnancies. Every patient is different and Dr. Schmidt has the knowledge and skill to make the best recommendations according to each individual. This is a person you can trust. I'm 42 and was surprised when Dr. Schmidt recommended transferring 4 embryos however we trusted him and his evaluation was on target. We only had a 28% chance of 1 embryo out of the 4 being a viable birth. Out of the 4, 1 heartbeat was detected and now we are almost at 30 weeks with a baby boy. Baby is healthy and growing strong. My Perinatologist has signed off this "high risk" pregnancy due to all is well and I'm now treated as a normal pregnancy!! We also had the clinic freeze the final 6 embryos for FET in 2013. If you are fortunate enough to come across Nova Clinic, then there is a reason for it. My husband and I are so very grateful for the wonderful experience! 12/17/13 update- healthy baby boy is 10 months old & now doing FET on Friday. Again our experience with Nova has been excellent. 5/26/14 update- Did get pregnant with FET however miscarried at 9 weeks in February (probably genetic). The staff and Dr. Schmidt were exceptional during this difficult time. Jessica, Laura, Dani, Joy and many others in the office were caring and considerate. We were out of frozen embryos so I had to do another round of IVF at 43 years old. I'm very grateful that Dr. Schmidt was willing to take me at my age & working with me to use my own eggs. Jessica, P.A. did several of my ultrasounds and she was always informative, quick to respond to any of my questions and helped relieved quite a bit of stress. I also started acupuncture from a therapist in Sunnyvale. Fresh transfer on 5/22 and waiting for our BFP. read more

Is there a 10 star rating with a high five and thumbs up option? In my age range there are 3 top norcal clinics, NOVA, SF & RSC. My OB recommended NOVA & only NOVA. We were told we'd be put on a waiting list so in the meantime my OB ordered all the blood work needed and sent them the results as well as my medical history. I also filled out and sent them their medical questionnaire. NOVA had a full profile on me before we even met. While waiting, I felt obligated to do my research so I met with RSC because of their statistics in my age group. It was quite an experience. I felt like I was part of an assembly line. I left there feeling overwhelmed. The only thing that was clear was that I had a "case manager" and "financial advisor" that I could address my questions to. I never felt welcomed to contact the doctor directly. With the emotional roller coaster I was on, I never felt assured. There's a handful of other reasons why I decided not to go with them but I will keep this about NOVA. We decided to wait for NOVA to call us. Here is a couple reasons why we chose NOVA: Dr. Schmidt - I love him! He makes us feel like we are his only patients. He explains everything so clearly and thoroughly. I can't rave enough about how patient, thoughtful and caring he is. I absolutely love this man! Nova Team - AMAZING! Everyone is so sweet and genuine. They all have the best calming bedside manners. Words can not express how thankful I am for this wonderful team. Every time I had a blood test, they called us right away with our results and followed up with a detailed email. Please note that they call first, communication is always personable. Facility - beautiful, comfortable and calming. Finances - no stress process. All fees were given to us on an organized spreadsheet. We knew exactly what to expect during the early stages. Then we paid one lump sum (pricing is on his website) at the start of our procedure. Bottom line, everything included = less stress. My 2 cents - I know the waiting list is intimating. But after meeting Dr. Schmidt and his team, I understand why he's personally recommended by so many doctors. This is a team that cares about each and every one of their patients. I never felt like this was a business for them, I felt like this is their passion. Dr. Schmidt is worth the wait. read more

Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Shah, Laura and the team at NOVA IVF are AMAZING!! Choosing the right doctor/clinic during the IVF process is extremely important as it is an emotional process, It is important to connect with the team as there are so many moving parts to achieve the outcome. The team at NOVA IVF were extremely compassionate and caring during my journey. Having people who support you through it all is invaluable, and I can honestly say that the team at NOVA IVF supported me throughout. I had researched several clinics before going through IVF and I can honestly say after meeting Dr. Schmidt I felt at ease and knew I had found the right doctor. I am in my mid 40's, we were blessed with a baby July 2021. We will be forever grateful to the team at NOVA IVF!!! Thank you for everything. read more

I went back to Nova trying for the 2nd baby. Sadly the experience was not the same. I had 4 unsuccessful IUI (2 miscarriages). The most disappointing thing was no blood check nor any investigation done. When I asked, the answer was "because you had a successful pregnancy before, no need to check". I feel like the doc didn't care. Staffs are very friendly though. read more

I want to say I'm currently going through the process here with Dr. Shah and it has been amazing so far. She has given me more time in person and on the phone than all of my dr.s combined, ever, times ten. I cried the first time she spoke to me, I couldn't believe there was another human being so caring and willing to walk through my medical/IVF past and explain it all. She spent over 30 minutes with me on the phone, just during a random check up call. I know I'm in good hands and I'm looking forward to adding to the other success stories here. Good luck/bless you all on this journey. read more

I consulted with two other IVF clinics before deciding on Nova. I didn't feel much care from the first 2. I imagine these doctors get the same questions over and over, but my meeting with Dr shah was super throrough, the staff there is so nice and patient, and I didn't feel rushed. During my IVF process I really felt like the staff all knew what my situation was, I never had to do any explaining on the info I needed or what step of the process I was in. Most of all, I didn't feel like they were going to pump me up with as many hormones as possible like a test animal, just to make a baby and increase their success rate. Dr Schmidt said he only wanted to give me what was really needed. As someone who doesn't even take Tylenol, I really appreciated that. I have never had such a positive experience with a medical facility. I never felt rushed, I always got an answer right away, even when I called the emergency line. The process went perfectly for me; I'm now 8 weeks pregnant and I am so happy that I went with Nova for a process that can be so difficult. I drove from SF to get here for all my appointments and it was completely worth it to feel like I was getting the best treatment possible Thank you nova! read more

I've already written one glowing review for NOVA. Now that we have our second child, I'm back for another. My wife and I were just discussing how much we love NOVA, and for me, I love how data driven they are. It's such a heavily researched, articulate, and statistically driven process. For example, we did 4 cycles with him to get 12+ embryos because statistically it takes 6 per live birth. We had 13 to start, used 4 for our first daughter, and 3 for our second. We still have 6 left! (Not sure what to do now because I don't think we want a 3rd). Anyways we have two beautiful little girls almost exactly 3 years apart. It's an amazing clinic with a fabulous team and a meticulous process. We went through three clinics (and 5 doctors) before them. They are the best by a landslide! Isabella (3.5 years) Claire (6 months). read more

NOVA IVF - Fertility Near Me - Mountain View, California

Nova staff is great: they are knowledgeable, patient in explaining the many details of the IUI and IVF processes, and, most importantly, they helped us become parents. Having their team by our side through this difficult journey made it so much easier. read more

We are forever grateful to the whole Nova team. We have a two year old son that we also conceived with the help of Nova, and now my wife is 17 weeks pregnant with a little girl. Our experience again was incredible from start to finish. Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Shah: Two incredible doctor's that my wife felt incredibly comfortable with. Her questions were always answered in great detail, and she felt so supported throughout the whole process. Patient Coordinators: We are so thankful for the Nova Patient Coordinators. My wife's emails were always promptly answered, she was always greeted with a smile, every time we would call we were always taken care of, and we truly knew/felt so welcomed at the clinic. Laura: My wife is so thankful for Laura. Nova is so lucky to have her. My wife gets so excited for each upcoming appt to continue her conversations with Laura. We always received clear bills that we were expecting, never had any questions at all, that's how amazing the billing dept is. We are looking forward to baby #3 in the near future! Thank you for all the love and support. read more

I would like to give Nova 10000000000000 stars!! My son was born in this month. I choose Nova after I failed in another IVF clinic three times in Bay Area. But I got successful in first transfer procedure in Nova. Dr Schmidt and Dr Shah are very professional and patience. Nova team are amazing. Every nurse know my medical history and my information. All process makes simple and clear. There are no words can describe how we appreciate to NOVA. Thank you all did everything on me and my baby! I'll be back when I transfer my daughter:) ! read more

Dr. Schmidt, the nurses and administrative staff are everything I wish for our entire healthcare system. I cannot say enough good things about his bedside manner. He is patient, answers all my (many) questions and will put you at ease. The nurses are the best I have ever encountered. They put a smile on my face, even during blood draws! This truly is the best care I have ever received during an otherwise emotional/anxiety-ridden journey. Thank you Nova IVF. You are the gold standard. read more

I was already established at another fertility clinic when I decided to seek second opinion with nova. My visit with Dr. Shah was amazing. She was compassionate, kind and thorough. I transferred my care to nova and never looked back. Thanks to Dr. Shah and her amazing team, I was able to get pregnant and have my miracle baby. Going through ivf wasn't easy, but Dr. Shah was there with me every step of the way. I'm forever grateful for my experience there! read more
