We cannot say enough good things about SB Fertility and Dr. Allen. My husband and I did not start…read more trying until I turned 40, so we expected an uphill battle, but at every point in the process we felt we were in great hands with Dr. Allen. Shortly after my first appointment, he diagnosed me with a septate uterus, which he repaired through surgery this summer, clearing the way for a successful first transfer 3 months before my 42nd birthday. From the beginning, Dr. Allen was confident we could conceive using my own eggs, and he was right. In addition to the little girl I'm carrying, we made 7 PGS normal embryos and one segmental mosaic, remarkable results given my age. At no point did I feel like I was receiving treatment from a "local clinic." Not only did we have better success than that advertised by some of the clinics renowned for treating women over 40, Dr. Allen followed a cutting edge protocol (including HGH). He was also willing to transfer my mosaic and even to try certain abnormals (after consultation with a geneticist) had we needed to do so, but since we only want one more baby, I am hopeful it won't come to that. We had our last appointment last week, at 14 weeks pregnant, and are sad to leave both Dr. Allen and his staff but overjoyed to be at this stage of pregnancy. And, of course, we will be back in a few years to try for a little brother.

I really hate to leave negative reviews, but my partner and I had a deeply frustrating experience…read morewith Dr. Allen and his office several months back. I would not want anyone in our situation to waste their time with him. After a nice initial consult and completing a mountain of testing (including genetics and an HSG at another facility), I was unable to get any information, discussion of results, or advice about next steps for treatment. I left many messages and voicemails. Once, when I asked for a follow up consultation with Dr. Allen I was told that it was "too soon" and that I should just call when I got my period (for what treatment? Unclear). The only call I ever received was from his nurse where I was prescribed a thyroid medication, even though my results were in the normal range. I later learned this protocol was based on old, disproven research. The medicine made me so sick and when I couldn't get Dr. Allen to discuss it with me, I just stopped taking it. In the end, we have had success with another fertility doctor in LA who has been responsive, communicative and shares our sense of urgency. Dr. Allen was none of those things.

After spending many months trying to conceive with no luck of a viable pregnancy my husband and I…read morewere referred to Dr. Rychlik. From start to finish he was professional, explained everything in a way that we could understand, and had a way to make you feel comfortable and at ease. IVF is a struggle, emotionally it takes a toll on you. Even when you go into it as strong as possible there are moments where you feel weak but Dr. Rychlik & his staff and everyone at SCRC were so very kind and helpful through the entire process. They put me at ease and gave me some laughs along the way. After our first IVF transfer, we conceived and in April welcomed our beautiful Londyn Kate. We are so blessed to have been referred to SCRC. We have two frozen embryos remaining, and with his team I am optimistic our londy will be a big sister some day! I highly recommend Dr. Rychlik! He is, and forever will be someone I am extremely grateful for!

Terrible customer service - avoid this place…read more I came in as a new patient and spent over an hour filling out paperwork. After waiting four weeks for my appointment, the receptionist told me they had to cancel because I was supposedly already a patient of another doctor there -- which isn't true. They don't respect your time and sent me countless emails without ever mentioning this issue. Years ago, I only spoke to the front desk twice but never saw a doctor due to health problems. Now, two years later, I return for my first actual consultation, and this is how they handle it. Completely unprofessional.

I can't say enough good things about Dr Rychlik. We would not have our daughter without him. I am…read moreso glad I came to him for second opinion and consultation before moving forward with IVF. I had been given an unexplained infertility diagnosis and I brought my medical files with me for the consultation. Despite several doctors and a years worth of tests he was able to give me a diagnosis in my results other doctors had missed after only a few minutes. IVF is a tough process on everyone, and I appreciated Dr Rychlik's compassion, humor, and availability. He uses all the best and latest science and gets the job done while also having a wonderful human sensibility. It's so rare to find a doctor highly skilled in both their medical practice and in the many difficult conversations that come with treating infertility. I highly recommend him, and wish I had come to see him sooner. If you are struggling with infertility you owe it to yourself to explore your options, and have the best chance.

Dr. Rychlik spent this initial visit disparaging the other fertility clinics in town. He told my…read moredaughter and her husband they had wasted time and money on previous infertility care. Dr. Rychlik suggested she was psychologically damaged by the process, then blamed her for "not having her head in the game." He also said if she's not confident going into this process, the IVF won't work! Infertility is a difficult enough journey without adding a doctor's negativity and pomposity. Definitely not the doctor we'd entrust with this delicate process.

I've had an overall disappointing experience with this practice, and unfortunately I can't…read morerecommend them. The midwives themselves have been great. They are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the front office and administrative side has been consistently frustrating. The administrative staff is disorganized and unprofessional. They frequently mix up appointment times, give conflicting information, and make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily difficult. They don't use email or an online portal to send updates, test results, or appointment confirmations, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of anything. Everything has to be done by phone, and the communication is often curt or dismissive. Another major frustration is that any time I need bloodwork, I have to schedule a completely separate appointment with a third-party lab instead of being able to do it in-office. This makes routine prenatal care far more inconvenient than it needs to be. I really wanted to have a good experience here, especially since the clinical care from the midwives has been positive, but the front-office management has caused so much stress and confusion that I'm choosing to switch practices. I hope they improve their administrative processes and communication in the future.

Dr Mackenzie has truly combined science and art in his medical expertise…read more I have worked as a nurse for over twenty years, and it is true that if you want to know who the best doctors are, ask a nurse. Dr Mackenzie replaced my implants and gave me a lift and I could not possibly be happier. I am healing quickly, I have minimal pain and I look fantastic! The staff was wonderful, kind, and efficient. The anesthesiologist was amazing. Thank you for allowing me to place my complete confidence in your team. Leslie

If your BMI is over 40, don't bother. Or make sure to actually speak with the anesthesiologist…read moreassigned to your case. Dr. Maribel Romero did not call prior to, causing a surgery to be rescheduled at a different facility, thank goodness that day ONLY because the surgeon takes care of his patients. I understand they may not be equipped with certain things to provide adequate safety for the patient during the procedure, but adding this to a very difficult and long process was extremely stressful and emotional. I hope the business sees this and takes this into consideration. Not only to do their job, look at the chart to see BMI AND make that call BEFORE the patient is all ready with an IV ready for surgery to start, but maybe start emailing patients instructions on how to take a photo of their anatomy that they can then send back to have the anesthesiologist make their final decision. It's done by other facilities, not all, but it's a great idea. Giving it a 2 because the nurse was great. But the ball was dropped somewhere with the other staff. If there is a policy regarding BMI, that information would be in the patient's chart when scheduling the procedure, and should have been caught prior to, and extra steps should have been taken, such as a photo.
