They always made us feel very at ease during the process. I had Dr Sokalska as my main doctor. At first I wanted the other doctors because I had read their reviews on Yelp and there weren't any reviews specific to Dr Sokalska, but I ended up really liking Dr Sokalska! I assume she's newer to the practice but she's so patient with all the questions and she's super funny too. She was updating us thoughout each step of our process and I never felt like we were bothering her with our questions. I had a really good outcome so far using their freezing services! If you are using your workplace benefits I highly recommend Nova as they are responsive and communicative and sometimes I had issues with Maven my provider and Laura was super caring and said if any funny business comes up again that she would contact their own Maven rep herself which I so appreciate! My friend went to a different clinic and so far didn't yield the experience or outcome she wanted so I'm super glad I decided to drive a little further out to see the wonderful staff at Nova!

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.

Bay IVF helped make our dream of growing our family come true, and we will be forever grateful for…read moreour experience with them. From the very beginning, they felt less like a clinic and more like a family--supportive, communicative, and genuinely invested in us every step of the way. At our first visit, we sat down with Dr. Polanski for a thorough, thoughtful conversation about our wishes and goals. Together, we created a clear plan that made us feel confident and cared for from day one. The nursing and front desk staff were truly amazing--kind, responsive, and always reassuring. We knew we could call with any question or concern and receive a thoughtful response within 24 hours, which made such an emotional process feel manageable and supported. We were incredibly fortunate to be successful on our first attempt at every step, from egg retrieval to insemination. We truly believe Bay IVF's holistic approach played a huge role in that success. In addition to excellent medical care, we were given guidance on nutrition and recommended foods to help optimize our chances, which made us feel seen as whole people--not just patients. We stated our initial visit in July 2024, and August 2025 we welcomed the birth of our boy/girl twins. We did implant 2 embryos and both implanted successfully. We stayed with Bay IVF until nearly the 2nd trimester to ensure a successful start of the pregnancy. I had an uncomplicated pregnancy and the twins were born full term and healthy! We are eternally grateful for our time with Bay IVF and wholeheartedly recommend them to any family hoping to grow theirs.

I couldn't have wished for a better medical team and a more dedicated doctor. 1. Evidence-Based Practice: Dr. Polansky genuinely knows what he is talking about. He is one who actively backs up his perspectives with robust research papers, rather than just relying on standard, routine clinical practices which is what most other doctors are guilty of. 2. Highly individualized and Empathetic Care: The entire experience felt highly individualized. Dr. Polansky is refreshing and honest--he doesn't sugarcoat anything, but he delivers information with immense empathy and has excellent bedside manner. He truly cares. 3. An Incredible Support Team: The entire team is phenomenal. Erica, Nisha, and the nursing staff are fantastic. I interacted with Iris the most, and she is absolutely wonderful and incredibly caring. By following Dr. Polansky's comprehensive advice--ranging from specific protocols to guidance on nutrition, supplements, and exercise--success was achieved on the very first try! SL

If I could give Dr. Ezzati 10 stars, I absolutely would. After struggling with recurrent…read moremiscarriages for about a year, we saw multiple OBs who unfortunately didn't provide the level of care or attention we needed. From our very first appointment, Dr. Ezzati moved quickly and thoughtfully. Within days of our first appointment, he scheduled an SHG ultrasound, which revealed retained products of conception (RPOC) (something I had previously raised concerns about with other doctors but had been dismissed). A couple of days after, he had me in for a hysteroscopy where the RPOC was removed and we are finally moving past this. Fertility struggles come with an overwhelming sense of vulnerability and insecurity, and finding a physician who truly understands and empathizes can be incredibly difficult. Dr. Ezzati did exactly that. He made me feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported, while also providing hope and a clear path forward. He took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process and walked both my husband and me through every part of the procedure. We are not pregnant yet, but we know without a doubt that we are in exceptional hands--and for the first time in a long while, we feel optimistic about what's ahead. From someone who was extremely hesitant about seeing a fertility specialist (as I thought they would pressure IVF), I can say Dr. Ezzati and his team have gone far beyond my expectations. My husband and I are extremely grateful and lucky to have found him!

His compassion and care has left an ever lasting impact on us and we cannot be more thankful for him and Selina!

We had a multi-stage program to root out fertility issues and prep for the greatest probability of success with his protocols.

No shortcuts, no fake talk, and definitely not just trying to make money like some other doctors out there. Very accessible and always kept us in the loop on how he was thinking, what he was considering, and providing us the tradeoffs. We put our faith in Dr. Zouves and he made it happen.

I can't help but compare all other medical professionals to him because he sets the bar so high. He's made it quite unfair really as now my expectations are outsized. The whole process is really bumpy (all the administrative stuff and getting all the right drugs.. at the right time, then there's all the other 3rd parties you have to deal with), which I think is also highly dependent on your personal timeline and competing priorities (work/life). But having Dr Zouves guiding you thru each step, really made me feel very confident throughout all of it. And bless his staff having to deal with me and all the other nervous first-time patients. I'm incredibly grateful to have close access to his medical care and facility. I don't think I would be where I am right now if it weren't for him. Thank you Dr Zouves!

MAMAS SHE IS WHAT YOUR POSTPARTUM SELF NEEDS!…read more Okay sorry for the shouty caps. I was lucky enough to get a session with Dr Shasta in a gala for microneedling. It was such a pleasant experience I signed up for a package. Over 6 months I get microneedling sessions alternating with acupuncture sections. Here's some highlgihts: - She goes above and beyond. You don't just get microneedling/acupuncture. You do red light, PMF mat, warmed bed, spa-like atmosphere. It is bliss. - She listens extremely well, providing customized and personal treatment - She explains the benefits of different approaches in an accessible way with print outs and suggestions - She provides samples, like aloe vera mask after the micro and apple stemcell to help amplify the impact - The results are incredible! And for microneedling the downtime is very minimal - Her personal approach, warm, and kindness - not to mention her clear expertise - are what everyone needs in a practitoner After pregnancy and postpartum our bodies are feeling so much stress and its ongoing. Which is why I would recommend every mom get a package with her. The outward results are noticeable to everyone (even my husband!) but also the inward results of being really taken care of and considered from the inside out helps me feel refreshed, grounded, and more present in motherhood. Can't wait to share my results.

I started acupuncture for my allergies after years of trying everything else. I've been on…read moreimmunotherapy for over five years and still had miserable symptoms every spring and winter. I had read that not everyone gets relief from acupuncture, but it was worth a shot for me since it was my last resort, and I am so glad I did! Before acupuncture last spring, I was taking allergy pills twice a day, using a daily nasal spray and eye drops daily, just to get through the season. After just a couple of weeks of treatment, I was able to sit outside with pollen literally falling on me and have no symptoms! I was also able to reduce my medications down to one pill a day. That had never happened to me before. I'm now back again because my symptoms returned in the winter, and I feel confident knowing this is something that actually helps when nothing else has. If you're someone who's been told "this is just how it is" with allergies, I can't recommend acupuncture here enough. It's made a meaningful difference in my quality of life. Dr. Shasta has also tailored treatments if I'm feeling other issues, like last time helped me with my stomach pain. She is very thoughtful and caring and I am so glad I found her.

I highly recommend Stanford Fertility…read more At age 34, my husband and I chose to freeze embryos, which allowed me to return to school for my nursing degree without the fear that I might lose my ability to have children later in life. That decision turned out to be life-changing. Now at age 40, Stanford Fertility has given my family so much joy. We have a healthy, happy 22-month-old son, and I am currently 7 weeks pregnant with our baby girl. We are about to graduate to obstetrics, a milestone that still feels surreal. Because my father passed away when I was very young, I do not know much about my family medical history. Stanford's genetic testing gave us tremendous peace of mind. We were able to screen our embryos for many genetic conditions in addition to my own genetic testing, which helped us move forward with confidence. We worked closely with Dr. Nakajima, Dr. Milki, and the entire Stanford Fertility team. They always made me feel comfortable, took the time to explain each step, and treated us with compassion and respect throughout the process. We chose Stanford Fertility over other programs because of Stanford's rigorous hiring practices, and we truly believe they employ the most exceptional physicians and staff. We are deeply grateful for the care we received and for the joy Stanford Fertility has brought to our family.

She did everything humanely possible to get me pregnant for the 4 years I was her patient.

I just completed 1 cycle of egg freezing with Dr. Murugappan and had a great, smooth experience. I called their office and told them my interest of egg freezing and was scheduled the next week with Dr. Murugappan. The consult, and meeting the Doctor and staff is what made me commit to Spring Fertility. From the front desk to the nurses, everyone was welcoming and kind. My consult was great. Dr. M was just as excited as I was to start this adventure and I could tell whole heartedly, she loves what she does. We talked about my goals and obtained a baseline ultrasound. I left the initial consult with confidence I wanted Dr. M as my doctor. I have Kaiser insurance and of course they wouldn't cover any of this so I paid out of pocket. Me choosing Spring Fertility wasn't taken lightly. (Yay healthcare in USA) After the consult my labs were drawn and I was contacted by their finance division to go over payment methods. What helped me was the 0 interest monthly payments they have available. I'm a single female that's trying to be proactive about her fertility and health. Spring Fertility uses an app called Salve. That is where most of your communication happens with the staff. All your documents, information, how to's, medication videos info, everything you need. Every-time I had questions (which was frequent), I got a response within a hour. What other doctor office do you know that responds within a hour?! These reviews complain that their messages didn't get answered immediately! It's called triage and most urgent gets answered first. Lots of entitlement in these reviews. Back to Spring! Once my lab results were in, all medications were delivered to my house which I loved. I was able to look them all over and watch the how to videos on the Salve app. They also give you a zoom class on the meds as well. I was overwhelmed at first but the videos helped a lot and it was actually pretty easy once the nerves passed. If you're starting fertility treatment, you should be 100% all in, not traveling and complaining that you have to bring medications with you.....duh. Through all this I had constant communication with staff, nurses, medical assistants and Dr. M. I was in and out frequently for ultrasounds and felt 100% comfortable everytime. Closer to the trigger date, I had more blood work done to make sure my body was responding appropriately. You will get bloated from this process because your follicles and ovaries are becoming enlarged so get your stretchy pants ready. Like any medical practice, the doctors AREN'T supposed to be doing everything like some reviews complained...think of any management style, is the boss supposed to be the one running the front desk? Or answering all the calls? No...that's why we hire additional staff. The ignorance of some people on here. Wild. Back to business. So, trigger day comes. I take the medication and egg retrieval was scheduled. I was a little nervous for it but as soon as I got to pre op and saw how everyone was so caring and gentle, I completely felt at ease. You are completely asleep (not intubated) for this procedure so you don't feel ANYTHING. Procedure is about 15-20 minutes then you wake up in the recovery room. 10/10 for my anesthesiologist and Dr. M, you're amazing! Best nap of my life. I received more messages through the app about recovery and Dr. M called me later that day and told me how many eggs we were able to successfully freeze. Notice I said "we", because the whole time I felt like we were family on this adventure together. Recovery has some mild pain, expected and managed with Tylenol. I'm most excited to workout again and lose the fluid weight I gained through the hormones. Which is totally normal btw! I'll be back in the gym in no time. Through Spring Fertility, I was able to make sure my future is in my hands and if I want kids later on in life, it's MY decision. What an empowering feeling. Thank you Dr. Murugappan & staff for making a stressful & emotional few weeks 100000% worth it. See ya in the future!!

One of our darkest days, not just in our infertility journey, but as a couple, was when Spring did…read moreIUI on my wife. In 2022, we left the facility without being able to speak to each other. Apparently my wife felt so violated by the whole experience, poked and prodded like cattle, treated like nothing more than a uterus with legs, and with zero bedside manner and aftercare, but on top of that, she couldn't bear to disappoint me by telling me she never wanted to do that again. Naturally, my heart was broken for her and I was deeply disturbed by the fact that nothing more was done for her despite the many thousands of dollars these treatments cost. It was a humiliating experience. I was livid. Normally, this is just about as private a matter as it gets, but I realize I needed to post this as a review because it is just not how you treat people in their most vulnerable state. Then the doctor we had (Dr. Isiah Harris) left Spring and we heard zero follow-up from Spring from that point. Like we never existed. I gave two stars because I know this means you will read this rather than ignore. Unless this place has changed, couples: stay far away. I don't care if Sydel Curry went there.
