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.

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.

Big waste of our time. Took 3 months just to get an appointment scheduled, once we got our…read moreappointment set, they had us fill out a 24 page patient packet, just to to be blown off the day of our consultation zoom meeting. Tried calling their office multiple times that we hadn't received a link to the zoom meeting, that both me and my husband had taken time off of work for. Adding more stress to our situation and feeling completely let down. When finally speaking to Dr. Allen he told us he has meetings every hour. I told him he should not be taking on new patients if he can't make time for them.

I had the incredible privilege of working with Dr. B, and it's time we revisited our journey. As I sat in the waiting room for an NST check, tears welled up in my eyes. It's hard to believe that we're about to welcome our baby soon. Our journey began here in 2023, after undergoing trigger shots and two unsuccessful IUI cycles. We ultimately made the difficult decision to pursue IVF. Despite the positive test results indicating that we were healthy on both ends, we held off on going all in with IVF. Even on my graduation day, Dr. B expressed that our case was unknown, as we would probably conceived naturally eventually . However, due to our age and the fact that we had been trying for almost three years after our wedding in 2021, we found this location that we had been praying for after years of prayer. On the day of the egg retrieval surgery, I was filled with panic and fear. But then, Dr. B walked into the surgery room and cracked a joke. "Ana, did you leave happy hour early last night?" he asked. Immediately, I couldn't help but smile and take a deep breath. He is the most incredible, amazing person we have ever met. He exudes an infectious positive energy and always made us feel completely confident that our miracle would happen. When he first read through our results, he exclaimed to my husband, "You're a Navy SEAL!" and to me, "Ana, you're a farm full of eggs!" It was the way he made us feel like everything would be okay. God bless you, Dr. B. You are truly one of a kind! When I think of exceptional and top-notch doctors, Dr. B is undoubtedly the MVP of fertility doctors. He is retiring on June 1st, 2026. Dr. B, I hope you find this post and understand the profound impact your career has had on many of us. I can never repay you for the incredible support and miracle that I am eagerly anticipating meeting here soon. Enjoy your retirement with the beautiful life mission accomplished that you were always destined for. You've made life-changing experiences for many, and we wish you continued health, happiness, and prosperity. God bless you forever. The Navas

Tingting and Catalina from FSAC are two of the most unprofessional, rude, and irresponsible people…read moreI have ever dealt with in a surrogacy journey. They take a portion of the service fee I paid for the surrogacy agency they referred me to, yet refuse to do the work they are paid for. When problems arise, they immediately deny involvement, push responsibility to the other company, and tell you to "go ask them instead and we are not involved" What follows is endless finger-pointing between companies, with no one taking accountability and no one willing to actually help. As an intended parent, when I faced serious issues during the surrogacy process, I had no one to raise my concerns to. Tingting and Catalina repeatedly told me they were "not involved," even though I was clearly told that: * They were paid a portion to manage me as a client * The other agency managed the surrogate * The service fee was split between the two companies for this exact reason When I confronted them with this, instead of addressing the issue professionally, they became hostile, blocked me, and threatened legal action, claiming I was not allowed to speak about my experience due to a contract clause. This behavior alone says everything about how they operate. What makes this even worse is the bullying and discriminatory attitude. If you are Chinese and do not speak fluent English, they treat you as if you know nothing and can be pushed around. I am a living example of how badly they treat clients they believe won't fight back. Their tone is dismissive, aggressive, and intimidating, and they show zero respect or empathy for intended parents going through an already emotionally exhausting process. From the very beginning of IVF all the way to delivery, this journey was extremely unpleasant, stressful, and traumatic, largely due to their behavior, attitude, and refusal to take responsibility. If you value transparency, accountability, and basic human decency, stay away from FSAC for IVF and surrogacy. No one should have to go through what I experienced.

Once we made the decision to try to have a child together we began having consultations with various doctors for help. We did not know where to begin, what kind of questions to ask or what to expect. After months of consultations and uncertainty of the decision we made, we met Dr. Mor and his staff. This was a perfect fit for us. For the first time we felt like our story was personal not just to us but also to the doctor and his staff. I know we were not their only clients but they made us feel that way. Every appointment Dr. Mor and his staff would remember personal details about our lives and asked us questions about how we are doing outside of patient related questions. We had many procedures with Dr, Mor and these were procedures we knew little about and had to trust Dr. Mor every step of the way. And I can confidently say that we felt very comfortable and confident being under Dr. Mor's care. I know this is what he does for a living and it can be easy to disregard "silly" questions or fears but Dr. Mor and his staff made it a point to make sure every question that we had was also important to them and addressed to our full satisfaction. They helped us financially, emotionally and professionally. They even sacrificed their regular working hours to help us out with our schedule. Who does that? My husband and I are blessed to have found Dr. Mor and the center for reproduction. Their education, compassion, friendliness, professionalism is incomparable. We are very grateful. Thank you.
