I really wanted to move forward with SCRC and Dr. Chavkin, but the administrative and insurance…read moreexperience was incredibly frustrating and ultimately caused me to leave the practice. Before starting the process, SCRC verified my benefits and told me that my IVF treatment was completely covered by insurance. I later found out that while the physicians were in-network, SCRC's embryology lab and surgery center did not take my insurance, leaving me with significant out-of-pocket costs that I was never expecting. I then spent weeks and countless hours calling Anthem, my medical group, and SCRC trying to get an authorization or exception. Instead of SCRC helping me with the process, I was repeatedly left to coordinate between everyone myself. I even got an Anthem supervisor directly involved with SCRC, yet weeks passed with no resolution and very little proactive communication. When I finally followed up again, I was told they were still having the same issue and that I should contact Anthem again. I liked Dr. Chavkin and was genuinely disappointed to leave her care, but fertility treatment is stressful and time-sensitive enough without having to manage your clinic's insurance process yourself. I ultimately switched fertility clinics because I could no longer delay treatment waiting for SCRC to resolve an issue I had been told from the beginning was fully covered.

After everything this journey brought me through, I am now nine months pregnant and just weeks away from meeting my miracle baby. I couldn't be more grateful.

I was debating whether to leave a review here, but after reading some on Google and Yelp, I feel…read moreeven more compelled to share my experience. I chose Reproductive Partners Medical Group because I really liked Dr. Huang during our initial consultation and felt confident I would receive 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. My husband and I didn't pursue IVF because I couldn't get pregnant, but because we wanted to genetically test our embryos before transfer and hopefully avoid another heartbreaking loss. I had previously undergone 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 frequently ran late, yet ultrasounds felt rushed. Calls were rarely answered, portal responses weren't always timely, and written medication instructions could have been clearer. I had absolutely no hormone bloodwork during ovarian stimulation. My progesterone was last measured on 09/23; I started IVF medications on 10/01 (cycle day 3) and had no further bloodwork. Monitoring consisted exclusively of ultrasounds, even as my follicles developed unevenly. Eventually, the clinic recommended converting IVF to IUI. This meant giving up the opportunity to genetically test our embryos--the main reason we'd pursued IVF. Nevertheless, we agreed because we didn't want to lose the cycle entirely. On Friday 10/09 my 3 largest follicles measured approximately 14 mm, and I specifically expressed concern that I might ovulate over the weekend, before my next appointment on Monday 10/12. I was reassured everything would be fine. The plan was a trigger injection Monday and IUI Wednesday. But when I returned Monday morning, I had already ovulated. The IUI was hastily scheduled for that afternoon, without knowing precisely when ovulation had occurred. My ultrasound was scheduled for 9:15am, my husband rushed to provide a sample at 11am, and my IUI happened after 1pm. I understand IUI is timed around ovulation, often 24-36 hours after a trigger injection, so sperm are present when the egg is released. Given the lower success rates of IUI 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 could have been Saturday, Sunday, overnight, or Monday morning? I still don't understand why my warning hadn't prompted closer monitoring or an earlier assessment. My husband had also been instructed to ejaculate Sunday evening and abstain until Wednesday. Because the IUI was moved to Monday, he'd ejaculated the previous night as instructed, leaving a much shorter abstinence interval than planned. 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. Despite the medically recommended IUI conversion, I was told a cancellation fee would apply and the stimulation ultrasounds would no longer be covered by our IVF package. Everything happened so quickly Monday that I signed consent without ever receiving an IUI cost estimate or explanation of what was included. When I asked about our refund and requested an itemized statement, I was told it would take at least a week. I was not informed when we can expect to receive our refund. I don't know whether the IUI will work, and different monitoring might not have changed the outcome. But I raised a specific concern and felt it wasn't taken seriously. Fertility treatment is emotionally, physically, and financially demanding, and I expected better. Please do your research before choosing a clinic, because I certainly didn't take the negative reviews seriously enough.

***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.
