    I wish I could give 10 stars! The treatment, care, and entire experience from start to finish was…read morewonderful! Dr. DeUgarte is so knowledgeable, has a warmth that is unique among medical providers, and made me feel I was in good hands! She personally checked in on me multiple times, making me feel I was always supported! Jackie was so helpful and informative in calling pharmacies, reviewing the medication and procedures, and answering all of my questions! I felt so lucky to work with her I have already and would recommend them to others!!

    Dr DeUgarte saved my life…read more Did I get your attention? Good. It's the truth. I met Dr D in 2014 when I decided to freeze my eggs. I was 36, single, and not even sure if I wanted kids, but I wanted the option to have them if Mr Right ever showed up. She was so compassionate, funny, down to earth and kind that I continued to see her for regular exams. Her all-female staff and spa-like exam rooms turn what is usually an uncomfortable doctor visit into a welcoming, supportive environment. At 38, I casually mentioned a dull, numb pain in my right breast. Even though I was two years away from the recommended age of mammograms and had no family history of breast cancer, Dr D sent me to get a mammogram. Two months after my wedding (Mr Right DID show up!), I was diagnosed with HER2+ Stage 2 breast cancer. Dr D not only called me lot tell me herself, but she told me that she'd already called the top breast cancer surgeon at UCLA and gotten me an appointment for the next day - on the surgeon's day off. Additionally, she'd already told the surgeon that she wanted to do an additional egg retrieval/embryo preservation before I started treatment. I got the news that I had cancer on Tuesday and I started my retrieval meds that Friday. Dr D also reached out on my behalf to non-profits that aid breast cancer patients with the high cost of fertility treatments since my insurance wouldn't cover any of it. For years, Dr D walked alongside me, supporting my women's health needs as well as my spirits. She continued to guide our fertility journey and made recommendations for acupuncturists and non-traditional methods. Of course, she used the most recent data from the scientific fertility world as well. When the time came to face the reality that my body just had been through too much and that we could only have a baby via surrogate, she was caring, nurturing and honest. She guided us through the complicated process during the even more complicated time of covid. I'm thrilled to share that, at 45, I am cancer-free, healthy and the mother of a perfect baby boy, made from one of those eggs we froze back in 2014. Dr D made a speech at our baby shower that still gets people emotional when we talk about it. We are now starting our sibling journey with the same surrogate and with Dr D's guidance and friendship. We know that we would not have our family without Dr D. It didn't happen in the way we planned or hoped that it would, but it happened in a way that will give our children one hell of an origin story! I also know that I would not be alive today if she hadn't encouraged me to get the mammogram I thought I didn't need. She truly is the most caring, most thorough doctor I've ever had and I feel so fortunate to have her in my life.

    I 100% recommend FCOC! I've had my 2 babies because of Dr Lee and his amazing team. They guided me…read morethrough my egg retrieval and all my 3 transfers. When I had my first transfer, our baby showed low on the beta test and had 50/50 chance of viability. With the care and advice of the team, we were able to deliver our baby girl on Feb 2024. The second transfer didn't stick unfortunately, but because of this, dr lee made great adjustments for our third one that gave us our baby boy. In fact, on our transfer day, there were some complications on how my scan was looking like. Dr lee wasn't able to see the right placement for our baby. He told me, "either I go in blind or reschedule". This is where is experience really came through as he went for it and said maybe it's 60% chance it's gonna stick. My baby boy was born 2 years later on Feb 2026.

    Dr. Lee and his entire IVF team are truly exceptional. What sets this clinic apart from others is…read moretheir honesty and integrity. From the very beginning, Dr. Lee was straightforward and transparent about expectations, outcomes, and options. Unlike some clinics that give false hope just to move you along or take your money, Dr. Lee tells you the truth--clearly, compassionately, and respectfully. That honesty builds real trust, which is everything during such an emotional journey. The IVF program itself is extremely well-organized and thoughtfully designed. Every step is explained, every visit feels purposeful, and the follow-up care is consistent and thorough. You never feel rushed, forgotten, or left wondering what comes next. Each appointment builds on the last, and the staff is always prepared and attentive. Most importantly, you can genuinely feel that Dr. Lee and his team care--not just about results, but about you as a person. The staff is kind, supportive, and responsive, making a very stressful process feel manageable and human. They are with you every step of the way. If you are looking for an IVF clinic that values honesty, professionalism, organization, and truly caring patient-centered care, I cannot recommend Dr. Lee and his staff highly enough.

I paid over $300 for a prenatal massage here and left feeling frustrated and completely unsatisfied. I came in specifically for lower back pain relief, and despite asking the therapist at least four times to use more pressure, the massage stayed extremely light the entire time. I've had many massages, including prenatal ones, so I know my expectations are reasonable. What made it worse was how my requests were handled. At one point the therapist told me that "if you haven't had a massage in a while your nerves might be asleep," which felt dismissive and didn't really make sense. She then said she would "just press and hold in places" rather than actually massage. That's not what I paid for, especially at this price point. It was clear she was inexperienced, and while everyone starts somewhere, a specialized prenatal setting with premium pricing isn't the place for that learning curve. When I followed up afterward, I was quickly passed off to a business manager via text with very little acknowledgment of my concerns. Their own receptionist had already admitted the therapist was new and less experienced, so the lack of follow-through felt tone-deaf. The owner did eventually offer a full refund, but the way it was handled felt even more dismissive, basically making it clear I wasn't welcome back. Overall this experience was overpriced, underwhelming, and poorly handled from start to finish. I would not return.

I would joke I want to be at target and have my water break in an isle and call my husband you know totally Hollywood. Here's what actually happen and yes I did go into spontaneous labor and I attribute it to lots and lots of body work. I had so much pelvic pain I sought out massage therapy at 31 weeks and got regular massages every 2-3 weeks then at 37 weeks started reflexology and induction messages. The day before I went into labor I had an induction massage and went on a long walk the next day that uphill walk did it, I went into labor and had a magical unmedicated birth. Eternally grateful for all my therapists at Sparrows Nest including the receptionist who always welcomed me with open arms and chatted with me giving me encouragement and warm wishes. Received Prenatal, induction and therapeutic massages by Ryan, Gabby, Jess and reflexology from Marna love you all!

    My wife and I started our fertility journey thinking it would be relatively straightforward. We…read morewere both 30 years old, healthy, and never imagined we would face challenges with egg retrievals and embryo freezing. I found Dr. Quinn through a recommendation in a Facebook group, and it may be the best recommendation I've ever received. She is, without question, the best doctor I've ever had. My wife and I often joke that we wish she could be our primary care physician because we would trust her with absolutely everything. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but what truly sets her apart is her compassion. She is the most empathetic physician I've ever met. Early in our journey, we learned that my wife had very low ovarian reserve despite being quite young. Suddenly, the path we thought would be simple became much more difficult and uncertain. Over the course of her treatment, we completed four retrievals. We had success with our first retrieval, experienced disappointment with our second and third, and recently completed our fourth. We were overjoyed to learn that we now have three frozen embryos from my wife's retrievals and this part of our journey has finally come to a close. Anyone who has gone through fertility treatment knows it can be an emotional, painful, and often lonely experience. Throughout every setback, every anxious wait, and every difficult conversation, Dr. Quinn, her nurse Josephine, and the entire HRC Fertility team treated us with kindness, patience, and genuine care. They made an incredibly challenging process feel as manageable and painless as possible. I cannot thank Dr. Quinn, Josephine, and the entire HRC team enough. They helped us through one of the most difficult experiences of our lives, and we'll always be grateful for their expertise, support, and compassion.

I'm so glad I chose to go with Dr Molly Quinn for this journey! She is very kind, compassionate, easy to talk to and she made sure we felt comfortable thruout the process and answered all our trillions questions! The entire team runs so smoothly compared to any other clinic I have been to! Everyone responds very promptly, appointments are in and out quick and really felt taken care of! My nurse Jolene was also amazing who would follow up on my emails and any concern I had right away! I had a little complication and I was able to reach the doctor at 6 pm on a Sunday without hassle which is not something you would find with many doctors! I also ran out of my egg retrieval med due to delayed FedEx and another nurse Jospehine reached out to me to again on a weekend and were able to accommodate me with meds so my egg retrieval doesn't have to be cancelled! She even followed up with me next day to check on me. This level of genuine care is very hard to fine, therefore I recommend Dr Molly Quinn to everyone. She is truly the best out there!

    After more than a year of struggling with infertility and being told it was "unexplained…read moreinfertility," I found myself constantly wondering what was wrong with me and whether I had done something wrong. It was an incredibly emotional and difficult time in my life. My OB highly recommended Incinta, and because I trusted my doctor, my husband and I scheduled a consultation right away. We had already tried other fertility treatments before coming to Incinta, so we arrived with both hope and uncertainty. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The office was beautiful, welcoming, and professional. The staff greeted us warmly and gave us a tour of the facility. One thing that immediately stood out to me was that everything was done in-house. Knowing that my embryos would not need to be transported between different facilities gave me so much peace of mind and confidence moving forward. Fast forward, Incinta worked what truly feels like a miracle for our family. We moved forward with IVF treatment and were blessed with four healthy embryos. Using two of those embryos, I delivered one healthy baby boy in 2022 and another healthy baby boy in 2024. Now, my husband and I are preparing to return next month for our third and final transfer, hoping to welcome our baby girl in 2027. Words cannot fully express how grateful we are to the entire Incinta family. They didn't just help us grow our family--they helped me fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a mother. After years of praying, hoping, and wondering if this day would ever come, I now have two beautiful miracle boys and hope for one more blessing on the way. Thank you, Incinta, for your compassion, expertise, and unwavering support throughout this journey. We will forever be grateful for the role you've played in our family's story, and we are so excited to continue our IVF journey with the Incinta family once again. Forever grateful
