    From Heartbreak to Hope , Our Miracle Story with Dr. Aimee and Her Amazing Team" (A journey across continents, faith, and unshakable love) Our story is one of perseverance, faith, and grace , a story that began in 2009 and took us across the UK, Africa, and finally to the United States. For over a decade, my husband and I longed for a child. We went through endless fertility tests, surgeries, medications, and more IVF cycles than we can count. In those years, we faced everything from multiple miscarriages to chemical pregnancies , the kind of heartbreak that leaves you empty, yet somehow still hopeful. We moved from clinic to clinic, across countries, each time believing this might be the one. I had fibroids removed twice, endured injections, blood tests, procedures , and countless nights crying in silence. In 2021, we turned to surrogacy, hoping our miracle would finally come. When we learned our surrogate was pregnant , with triplets , our joy was indescribable. But on August 2nd, 2022, our world crashed again when we were told all three babies had stopped growing. That pain... there are no words for it. I felt completely broken. But deep inside, a small voice whispered , don't give up yet. So I wrote to Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh, a woman I had followed online for years. I poured out our story in an email, not sure if she would ever reply ,after all, I lived across the ocean. But to my surprise, she did. And from her very first email, she radiated compassion, warmth, and understanding. Her message began with, "I'm so sorry this is all happening to you :(((" -- and ended with practical, hopeful next steps. A few hours later, another email came: "You absolutely can be my patient." Those words brought me to tears. After years of being told what was wrong with me, here was a doctor who started with possibility. Her signature phrase, "Hot smokes!", always made me smile , her excitement was real, her energy contagious. Dr. Aimee looked deeper, asked the right questions, and treated us like humans , not statistics. Her care blended science, soul, and humor. I knew instantly that I had found the right place, even if it meant traveling from the UK to the U.S. But beyond Dr. Aimee herself, I have to mention two incredible women who made our journey even more special. Shout out to the amazing Sherry Chang , at the time, the billing coordinator. She handled every delay in our international transfers with such grace and kindness. Whenever funds took longer to arrive because of overseas processing, she would gently say, "Please don't worry , focus on your treatment, that's what's most important." She never once made us feel pressured. She made us feel cared for. Her heart for people goes beyond her job , she even welcomed us into her church family, The Rock Church, making us feel seen and loved far from home. And then there's Jamie Walker , whose name will forever be etched in our hearts. She's the one who broke the most beautiful news of our lives: "Congratulations, we're pregnant." I will never forget that moment , the words we had waited over a decade to hear. The tears, the laughter, the disbelief, the joy. It was finally real. And now, here we are , holding our son, Nosazena, our miracle, our answered prayer. Every time we look at him, we remember the journey, the faith, the science, and the love that made him possible. This September 12th, as we celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary with our son by our side, we couldn't stop thanking God , and thanking Dr. Aimee and her amazing team. To Dr. Aimee, for your brilliance, humor, compassion, and the famous "Hot smokes!" that kept us smiling through it all. To Sherry, for your grace, patience, and genuine heart. To Jamie, for being the voice of the miracle we prayed for. You didn't just help us have a baby. You helped restore our faith in humanity, in hope, and in the beauty of never giving up. From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you. With love and eternal gratitude, Voke, En & Zena

    I fell in love with Dr. Aimee's bedside manner on her podcast, and i was referred to her office by a friend. Dr. Aimee did a great job of explaining things so i understood. I felt secure under her care & i hit the baby jackpot! So in love

    I can't say enough how grateful I am for having Dr. Aimee as my doctor for this special journey. Because I know it would not work out had she not been my doctor. I am one of those outliers that require customized treatment plan and intense monitoring. Only Dr. Aimee can do that for me! Because of my insurance benefits, I worked with UCSF as well but switched to Dr. Aimee when UCSF kept failing transfers. I didn't have 100 embryos to burn through so I had to pick a doctor that I think will give my remaining embryos the best shot to implant! So glad I found Dr. Aimee! I will compare them both so you know how amazing Dr. Aimee is! At UCSF, this is what you will get: - Templated process, which won't change much based on each individual's situation - Won't do any additional blood tests/ultrasound monitoring. Their answer was always: "We don't do that here." - When asked why we do XYZ for the treatment plan, their answer was always: "This is per our protocol". - My doctor only saw me once during my very first visit and never saw me again throughout the entire egg retrieval cycle and transfer cycles. It's always the nurses, the care team or the doctor on duty that did all the ultrasounds, etc. - Had to go through the care team to ask the doctor a question and wait a while for an answer, which kinda deterred me from asking more questions. With Dr. Aimee, you will get: - Truly customized treatment plan based on your specific situation. If you need to do 10 monitoring appointments or 10 more blood tests, she will schedule and do them for you to ensure we won't miss anything! - Feel free to ask any questions. You can email her directly and lots of times she replied within like 5 mins no matter it's 7am or 11pm. - She will work with you in a way that makes you feel you understand every step in the treatment plan and feel comfortable about decisions made throughout the process. - She does everything herself! From blood drawing, to ultrasound, to transfer, etc. You will see her during your every visit! Every visit was very efficient and quick! I never had to wait too long and she's always so patient with any questions I had. Over the span of about 6 months, for every visit, I drove a 90-mile round trip, 1 hour each way across 5 major highways in the Bay Area. It was so worth it! Thank you, Dr Aimee!

    Dr. Aimee is God sent! On 8/27/23 my husband and I welcomed our baby boy into the world. Under Dr. Aimee's care, what we felt like was impossible became possible. We started our baby journey in 2017 and were with a previous fertility clinic that was very cookie-cutter and gave us little to no hope. With multiple rounds of clomid, 1 round of IVF, 1 failed transfer, and 1 chemical pregnancy, my husband and I felt defeated. On Jan 2022, we reached out to Dr. Aimee and immediately, it felt like a breath of fresh air. Our baby journey with Dr. Aimee was seamless as she made herself available even though we new how crazy busy she was. No other health care provider that we know of would answer emails at 11pm. This woman does! She truly set the bar for everyone in the health care industry! She is always up to date with the latest and greatest tests/procedures and ensured we checked all the boxes as we navigate through next steps in our journey. She is very smart, knows her stuff, warm, and does not make you feel alone in the infertility world. When we were at our lowest, Dr. Aimee never gave up on us. She brought our hope to life!

    We are Pregnant :-) :-) :-) After our first FET failed with a PGT tested embryo, Dr.Aimee changed the protocol from medicated to modified natural cycle for our 2nd FET and said no other tests are required and that worked. She made sure me and my husband are peaceful through out. After our first FET I took 6 months break from our treatment as my mother was very unwell. When I emailed her after 6 months that we are ready for our next FET, she replied back with in 5 mins saying she is ready and we got this. These are things that makes her different from others. You don't have to think about email communication delays etc.All our appointments are to the point and that is exactly how we like it. With her it is a custom plan suitable for us only. If not for Dr.Aimee I don't think this would have been possible. We graduated from her clinic today :-)

    It would be unfair to call Dr. Aimee a miracle worker, but she is as close as they come in the fertility world! After 4 years of IVF elsewhere, we decided to try one last time with Dr. Aimee. I just gave birth to our precious baby girl last week. I know all of her patients will agree that she is among the best in her industry. She stays up to date on the latest advances in fertility and IVF, and suggests considering any number of them based on each couple's set of circumstances. What she doesn't do is insist that she will only do it "her way." She is anything but dismissive of her patients' ideas and input. I never felt like I didn't have complete control over what treatments to try or not. Dr. Aimee's passion for helping not just her patients but as many women and couples as possible is abundantly clear. In addition to her practice, she regularly reaches people around the world through interviews, videos and articles. And yet despite all the work she puts in on that front, she really does, as she says, treat every patient like a VIP. There was not a single time that I emailed her personally and didn't get a response by the end of the day. I had lots of questions and concerns along the way, but I never felt like she was too busy for me. This experience alone is rather unique, based on my previous IVF experiences, and based on experiences I've read about from other IVF patients around the country (I've been a part of several Facebook IVF groups.) I cannot recommend Dr. Aimee enough, and while sadly no one in the IVF world can guarantee success, I can confidently say she will give her all to give you the absolute best chance for success.

    Any pcos patient had a successful pregnancy after seeing the doctor?

    Yes! 2 successful pregnancies actually 😊 I used to think all drs basically must have the same knowledge about these things. I was wrong. Dr. Aimee knows what questions to ask and always has a plan.

    I am new to the area and I see that Dr. Aimee has amazing reviews. I also noticed in the "more info" section it says she does not except insurance. Is this misinformation or is it true?

    True for visits/exams/IVF but many things like blood tests, genetic tests, meds, a cyst drainage (performed by her) and D&C ( performed by her) was partially covered or totally covered by our insurance. So it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.…

I met with MULTIPLE REs and basically interviewed them to see why I should continue with fertility and why I should pick them. I was clear from the start that I wasn't sure if I wanted to harvest eggs and create embryos. I never had the NEED that some women have when it comes to being a mom and I didn't want to go through this process if my chances for success aren't likely. I said I would like my doctor to be very up front and tell me if it looks like it will happen or not. Dr Fischer met with us multiple times before hand and was very informative, he gave me options that others didn't but most importantly he listened to my concerns and was honest in his opinions. Although my surgeon was able to get all the cancer out we were still going to proceed with the protocol for cancer patients. Since I was still apprehensive about having kids at all, on the morning I was supposed to start injections I made my final decision to not pursue IVF. The process isn't easy and since I'm still recovering from surgery I didn't see the value in doing this for the potential for 0-1 embryo. It isn't important enough for me to do IVF and try for nothing. If I would end up with 2 or 3 embryos I would have done it but not for less. Again he was very supportive and said if I wanted to try later I can since I won't be doing chemo and in a year my fertility won't drastically change. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend this team and if I decided to try I would use them.

RMA was recommended to us by a friend, and after reading every glowing review and doing some research of our own, we decided to save up and schedule our initial appointment. Unfortunately, RMA did not accept our insurance, so we called ahead to confirm exactly how much the appointment would cost out of pocket and what would be included. During our visit, the entire team was friendly and kind--which we appreciated. However, in this industry, it takes much more than friendly staff. Our concerns stem from two major issues. First, they were unable to draw blood during our very first visit. This was a big red flag, as bloodwork is an essential and recurring part of the fertility process. Second, we encountered unexpected hidden fees. While we were told blood would be drawn in-house, we were not made aware that it would be sent to a third party, resulting in a significant additional cost. After two years of trying on our own, we put a lot of time and hope into finding the right clinic to guide us through this emotional, sensitive, and expensive journey. Instead, we left feeling overwhelmed and without the clarity we were hoping for. This experience may be different for those whose insurance is accepted, but if you are paying out of pocket and looking for a more transparent and supportive fertility clinic, I would recommend exploring other options.

My primary doctor is Dr. Kort in San Francisco, and he has been absolutely amazing. I truly appreciate that RMA allows me to do my weekday monitoring appointments at their Danville location, which is much closer to home. This flexibility has made the process so much easier and more convenient. From the moment I walk in to the Danville location, the front desk staff is always warm and welcoming (I need to get her name because she's been wonderful!). The nurses and doctors at this location are all incredibly kind, professional, and compassionate. A special shoutout to my assigned nurse, Carmela! Carmela has been such a source of comfort and reassurance throughout this process. IVF is such an emotional and challenging journey, and feeling truly seen, heard, and cared for makes all the difference. Since monitoring appointments rotate doctors, I've had the opportunity to see Dr Morin and Dr Shapiro here, and they have been wonderful. From lab work, to ultrasounds.. It's clear that the staff genuinely cares about their patients, and that level of attentiveness is something I appreciate. If you're considering RMA, I highly recommend them. This journey isn't easy, but having a compassionate and knowledgeable team by your side makes all the difference. Thank you to everyone at RMA Danville for making this experience as positive as possible.

After our experience at this clinic today we are really lowering our expectations of Kaiser care. This morning my wife and I had the most stressful and disappointing experience at this Kaiser location. If you want compassionate and respectful care do not come here and ask for the nurse Linsey. She really doesn't belong in healthcare. We had an appointment at 8 am this morning for an IUI. Last three appointments it took us 40min to get here. This morning when we left the house at 7am the gps said it will take 1:30min. While 2/3 of the way there I called them at 8 am to let them know. When Lindsey picked up she said we can no longer do the IUI. I tried to explain to her three times our situation and that the travel time increased unexpectedly, each time she interrupted me and did not let me finish my sentence. When I finally was able to explain to her that we would be there at 8:40am she did not listen/understand, she did not care or want to hear what I had to say. My wife and I worked tirelessly for weeks to prepare for the IUI only to hear her cold and careless rejection. My wife started to cry in the car and I had to beg another nurse to let us do it. In the end we were able to do the IUI, but i will never trust or respect this Kaiser again. After the apportionment I tried to explain my disappointing experience to another nurse Cynthia. I thought she would listen and take the feeback, but instead her first words were "this all happened because you were late" and then continued to lecture me on the importance of being on time in all aspects of life, while also interrupting me when I tried to talk. All I wanted to do today was give feedback, but they seem to think they are perfect and don't need feedback. I am actually also a healthcare worker, and I would never ever EVER talk to a patient the way they talked to me!!! It's really heartbreaking to know that people in THiS department do not have compassion or go the extra mile for patients. In my clinic I do everything I can do make sure patients get treated on time. I don't mind waiting 1-2 hours, working until mid night, or on weekends. I treat patients like family. What happened to compassionate care and going above and beyond? I really don't think they know what patients are going through or how they feel when we come in the clinic, they worse thing is, they really don't bother to know. I am writing this in hopes that in the future no other patient will go through what we had to deal with today.: my wife crying first thing in the morning, the stress on top of stress, the anger, the feeling that they don't care about you, and the indifference. Again, I stand by my opinion, I do not think Linsey belongs in healthcare. I do not want anyone without compassion or willingness to go above and beyond to treat us.

    I highly recommend Dr. Cheruba Prabakar…read more Over the last two years, she has helped me navigate everything from future fertility decisions after having three children, to breast cancer risk given my family history, to now exploring hormone replacement therapy and all of the nuances that come with it. What I appreciate most is that she takes the time to look at the whole picture. When needed, she's connected me with other specialists and helped me build the right team so I could make informed decisions with confidence. I've sought information through various third-party women's health companies, but none have come close to the depth, thoughtfulness, and individualized care that Dr. Prabakar provides. I'm learning that HRT is rarely straightforward, and what will set her apart is how carefully she reviews my history, symptoms, and bloodwork before making recommendations. Her bedside manner is warm, knowledgeable, thorough, and never makes me feel rushed. As a physician affiliated with Northwell Health, she brings a level of expertise and professionalism that has given me tremendous confidence in her guidance. Private care is certainly an investment and a luxury for most, but I genuinely believe Dr. Prabakar saves her patients significant time, confusion, and heartache by helping them make thoughtful decisions from the beginning. I leave every appointment feeling informed, supported, and confident in my next steps. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her in my corner.

After about four months of struggling with PPD, I made the decision to pursue permanent birth control a decision I now deeply regret. I was told by Dr. Cheruba Prabakarthat my tubes could not be tied and that they had to be removed. During the consultation, she asked if I wanted more children. At the time, while clearly struggling emotionally, I said no. She stated that since I was 39, it was a good age for this procedure if I did not want more children. I understand that the decision was 100% mine, however the state of mind I was in was not capable of making a life-changing, irreversible decision. I strongly believe that when working with women -- especially postpartum women -- it is a physician's responsibility to recognize warning signs of postpartum depression and emotional distress and to implement safeguards in their practice. What I needed at that time was help and support for my PPD, not a permanent procedure that altered my body forever. Instead, the process felt quick and not thorough. There was no screening for postpartum depression, no encouragement to wait, and no discussion about how temporary emotional states can affect long-term decisions. Now, three years later, I am 42 years old and desperately want another child. Time is running out. I am now facing IVF, with no guarantee that my insurance will cover it since this is considered a decision I made for myself. My eggs are older, the odds are lower, and the emotional and financial burden is overwhelming. I wish there had been more caution, more counseling, and more time given before moving forward. I also hope that by sharing this experience, changes can be made so that another woman in a vulnerable postpartum state is not placed in this position. I am beyond sad and angry about my situation, I wish i could of tide my tubes and maybe reversal would of been an option now there is nothing absolutely nothing i can do. and time is running out.

Amanda was my personal favorite midwife/nurse practitioner who saw me for several of my appointments and was so kind and supportive, a gem. When I was scared about my IUD insertion, nurse Mikayla was the absolute sweetest and thoughtful, bringing me a squishy friend to hold to relieve some stress during the procedure. I have had many wonderful experiences here and have trusted them with my life on several occasions.

He has performed multiple surgeries on me over the years, and I have trusted him with my care. Unfortunately, my recent experiences with the practice have been very disappointing. Over the past year, the office has rescheduled my appointments twice. At my most recent visit, I waited 45 minutes for a routine annual exam. The practice also feels much more impersonal than it once did. I used to feel seen and heard, but that is no longer my experience. I was recently transferred to the RSVP office, where I don't know any of the providers. After being a loyal patient for so many years, I felt more like I was being passed along than cared for. Dr. Wells remains a skilled and compassionate physician, but the office, patient experience, and continuity of care have changed significantly. I hope the practice takes this feedback to heart and remembers the value of long-term patient relationships.

    The pressure around choosing an OBGYN is often minimized by society. We write women off as being…read moredramatic/emotional and that any doctor should be fine. In my opinion obstetrics is probably the most important field in woman's health. It's taken me over one year and a lot of courage to write this review but I feel like what I went through should be shared so that other women deciding on their OBGYN will not have the same result. BED SIDE MANNER I initially wanted to have Dr. Jeffrey-Starr as my OBGYN because of her rave reviews from my neighbor who had a very positive experience with her after a bad experience with her first child. When I first met with Dr. Starr she confronted me with rude comments like why have you seen so many doctors? What is wrong with you? I had seen many doctors due to my endometriosis, it went undiagnosed initially by Dr. Pham who is also at that practice, but later Dr. Beatty (the only doctor I can recommend at that practice) ordered the necessary tests to be able to diagnose it. Every time I asked her questions about my pregnancy she dismissed me as if I was hyper concerned. I thought maybe I was being irrational, given she's done this a thousand times and I have only been pregnant once. She was always in and out of the room after about 5-10 minutes. She would appear visibly annoyed when I asked if I could facetime my husband for the appointment (as this was during the height of COVID) or if I asked if I could go through my list of questions (i.e., is this normal in pregnancy type Qs?) OFFICE FUNCTIONALITY I saw Dr. Starr once every third appointment. She never responded to a single inquiry I had through the online portal, instead it was her office staff who took anywhere from 3-8 days. Her NP would frequently say "that's a Q for Dr. Starr," in which I would never receive any follow through on whether the Q was relayed to her. I consistently waited in the office for my appointment anywhere between 1-2 hours. This is tough for a pregnant woman who is also working. DIAGNOSIS/CARE Because of our infrequency in communication, I didn't really feel like Dr. Starr was my doctor. My saving grace was a family friend who was an OBGYN. I could call her and ask her about symptoms I was having and she would tell me whether they were concerning or not. When she said they were concerning, I went to the ER and got the necessary blood work done. I did end up getting contractions early on and had some symptoms consistent with liver issues (all of these things went undiagnosed) and didn't seem concerning to Dr. Starr. When I was admitted to the hospital due to high blood pressure, I was there for 7 days. The first 72 hours I was induced, on a high amount of pitocin, on an epidural for 4 days, several cervical exams, a serious of high fevers, and very low over sight from Dr. Starr. I had asked Dr. Starr if we should go through a birth plan together, prior to me going to the hospital and she said no. At the hospital, I saw 5 other OBs at the hospital and there was no consistency of care. Finally, I requested a C section after having a very high fever of 102 and my blood pressure shooting up to the 170s. The C section was performed quickly but there was a lot of bickering on the other side of the curtain (overall it seemed like the care team wasn't functioning well together). In the recovery room, I went into septic shock, the rapid response team was called and was transferred to the ICU where my life was literally being saved. There were probably 20-30 different medical professionals buzzing around me, and I didn't see my baby for 3 days after he was born. AFTER CARE Dr. Starr visited me once when I was in the ICU to take my bandages off. I couldn't get an appointment with her for my 6 week post op apt. A different OB said my scar tissue indicates the surgery wasn't performed skillfully. Overall I would not recommend Dr. Starr and actually feel obligated to warn others because the result of having her as your doctor could be fatal.

    I was able to be in with my daughter when she delivered. Dr. Jeffrey-Starr delivered her and was…read morewonderful. She is very positive, professional and took charge when the baby's heart rate dropped. She was amazing and also very kind and fun to be around. We are very thankful it was her and Stanford nurse LaShauna.

My doctor suggested I got on birth control to help with relieving some of the discomfort. Fast forward to my early 30s, married and ready to start having children. I got off birth control and my very painful periods came back. Despite the painful menstrual cycles my husband and I were trying to conceive and were unsuccessful for 5 years. I went through infertility treatments with no luck. After an emotional roller coaster of infertility, I told myself that I needed to try something different. I had always heard of acupuncture but was not aware that it may help with women's health and infertility. I googled "Acupuncture Near Me" and found Amanda Moler at Monarch Acupuncture & Wellness. What a gem I found! At our first appointment Amanda was so compassionate and kind. She heard my story and developed a treatment plan specifically for me. Our goal was to first help with my menstrual cycle and then move on to fertility. In about 3 months my menstrual cycles were so much better and I got pregnant! I could not believe it. I was so overjoyed and I'm a firm believer that acupuncture, lifestyle changes and having a positive outlook heals the body. Amanda is truly a beautiful soul and one of a kind! She is a healer. I have recommended several friends and family to her over the last couple of years and all of them adore her and have had amazing experiences. If you are looking to try something new for pain management, grief, women's health or infertility, I highly recommend Amanda Moler at Monarch Acupuncture & Wellness. She is truly amazing and I'm so grateful that I found her.

    I didn't know it at the time, but I desperately needed a chiropractor for my baby when she was…read morefirst born. My daughter has always had quite the temperament and a fiery personality to boot, so if you combine that with general discomfort, possible reflux, and a dairy allergy, you get a confused and tired mom--cue me. I was struggling for 7 months, until I saw some suggestions to look for a chiropractor. I did some research but I was still a bit apprehensive, so I kept looking over and over for a decent chiropractor who specializes with children. I found Dr. Kate Wong and gave her a call, and the rest is history. First thing, how awesome is it that she does house calls? That's the first I've seen for a chiropractor. She was very patient and interactive with my daughter, who has a little bit of "stranger danger" instincts that made some of her appointments a tad difficult. But my daughter would surely but slowly settle into her appointments, and I just regret not being able to have them a lot more often. The few appointments we had really helped our daughter. Believe me, I would have loved to follow the treatment plan to the T, because those appointments really helped my daughter relax and not be so angry and stiff. I could literally feel the difference in holding her after the appointments. Dr. Kate Wong was very flexible and worked with our schedule. She also understood we couldn't do too much because of our budget. Dr. Kate Wong also responded very quickly to any questions or concerns I had regarding my daughter and her health. I also appreciate the small, thoughtful gifts she sent to me, such as some organic nettle tea bags (and a recipe, which was delicious) and small samplings of natural tumeric bars for breastfeeding moms. She's also very knowledgeable on different holistic things, current events, and other referrals. Overall, she's a wonderful and thoughtful chiropractor. We've since moved out of the area, but I really wish she could service all over California!
