His knowledge, intuition, and compassion changed our lives forever, and I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life. Just as incredible is his entire staff is kind, supportive, responsive, and made us feel cared for every step of the way. We could not have done this without them, and we will be forever grateful. After 5 years of trying to get pregnant, multiple doctors, 2 egg retrievals, and 4 failed transfers, I came to Dr. Bryan Acacio with unexplained infertility and very little hope. From our first consult, Dr. Acacio truly listened. I suspected endometriosis, which previous doctors dismissed, but he insisted on surgery and found stage 2 endo. He also ran an autoimmune panel that revealed genetic variations affecting implantation testing my prior doctors never pursued. He immediately recommended PGT testing, which finally gave us answers. He also listened to my concerns about timing during retrieval. This time, we waited one extra day--and the results were life-changing: 11 eggs retrieved, 9 mature, 7 blasts, and 5 genetically normal embryos. In November, we transferred two embryos. After the longest 11 days of my life, I got the call I was pregnant. Two weeks later, we learned both embryos had implanted. To the future parents: there's a light a the end of this journey. Keep fighting it will be worth it

This office in Laguna is scheduled to close at the end of this month, information that was not…read moredisclosed to me when I initially called. I was referred by a friend and contacted the office to inquire about scheduling. Rather than advising me of the upcoming closure, the staff took down my information and told me I would be contacted in January when their schedule "opens up." This was misleading and unprofessional. If an office knows it is shutting down, that information should be communicated transparently during the initial call. Instead, I was given false expectations and wasted time based on information that was not accurate. I find this type of business practice concerning. If something as basic as an office closure is not communicated honestly, it raises questions about what else may not be handled with transparency. I would not recommend this office.

This company is extremely disorganized and difficult to navigate from the very first point of…read morecontact. After reaching out, my initial appointment was abruptly canceled about a week in advance. I later discovered that what I believed to be a local office was actually a call center. At no point did anyone explain how their scheduling works, that offices operate independently, or that doctors are independent providers. I was eventually rescheduled at the Laguna Hills location. When I arrived, the receptionist was unfriendly and immediately informed me of a $99 consultation fee. I had no issue paying this fee, had it been disclosed beforehand--which it was not. When I raised this concern, I was told that the doctor I paid the consultation fee for would be the only doctor who could treat me if I moved forward. If our personalities or approach did not align, I would be required to pay an additional consultation fee to see another doctor. That is an unacceptable business practice. To make matters worse, I was told that the person responsible for explaining financing and costs would not be available for another day or two, meaning I could not even receive a proper quote during my visit. I intentionally carved time out of my busy schedule for what is a very emotional and important decision in my life, only to leave feeling frustrated, disappointed, and misled. I will not be returning to this facility or any of its affiliates, and I would strongly caution others to be very clear about fees, scheduling, and expectations before booking an appointment.

Thanks to their compassion, expertise, and unwavering support, I am now holding my baby in my arms, a dream I wasn't sure would come true. From day one, Dr. Rosencrantz made me feel seen, heard, and truly cared for. He took the time to explain every step of the process, never rushed an appointment, and gave me the confidence I needed during one of the most vulnerable times of my life. The integration of reproductive medicine with a holistic approach made all the difference, addressing not just the physical, but also the emotional and mental side of the fertility journey. The clinic itself is warm, welcoming, and incredibly well-organized. The nurses and staff are kind, prompt, and always ready to help--whether it was a quick question or reassurance during a tough moment. If you're looking for a clinic that combines science with heart, I can't recommend Reproductive Health and Wellness Center enough. Dr. Rosencrantz changed my life, and I will be forever thankful for his role in helping me become a mother.

I'm so happy I chose Dr. Ghazal to work with for my Infertility and IVF journey! Dr. Ghazal and…read morethe whole staff really made me feel comfortable and confident that I was getting the very best treatment possible. Not only is the office BEAUTIFUL, but the girls who work there are so warm and inviting. You can't walk by anyone without them saying 'hi' or asking how you're doing. I had been to other fertility specialists before and am so happy that I chose to go with Dr. Ghazal! She is up to date with the latest technology and treatment options and was able to guide us through this complicated and difficult process. If you don't understand something she takes the time to explain (and for me, re explain.) the process, even if it's not during normal business hours. She's so sweet delivering the good (and the bad) news, which is so comforting.. some doctors may look at you as a number or just a chart, but you can tell Dr Ghazal is just as invested in the outcome as you are. Thank you Dr Ghazal, Molly, Heidi, Krystal, and Maggie for helping us through this time! I am now pregnant with a beautiful baby boy and am due this December! We are so happy and look forward to continuing to grow our family with Dr. Ghazal in the future! (Best 'I told you so' ever!!)

After 3 failed cycles, my husband and I decided to change fertility clinics and received a…read morerecommendation to check out RISE. Needless to say, it was one of the best decisions we have ever made! During our initial consultation with Dr. Ghazal, we could tell that her approach was very different than most fertility doctors. We had two embryos remaining from my retrieval at my prior clinic, and wanted to transfer one of those embryos. During a consultation with another clinic, we were told by the doctor that he "would never use" the remaining embryos due to their grading. Dr. Ghazal disagreed with that approach. When we asked what medicine regimen Dr. Ghazal would use, she advised us that she needed to invest time reviewing my medical records to come up with a personalized recommendation. She would not utilize a cookie-cutter "one size fits all" approach like most fertility doctors seem to do. Dr. Ghazal then prepared a detailed plan to use an "modified natural cycle," which involved less medication than I had to take during my failed cycles. That plan also required more doctor visits to monitor my ovulation cycle. Dr. Ghazal was very dedicated to our cause that she opened the office for appointments on weekends and offered to schedule my FET on Thanksgiving if necessary. She was also was able to identify a medical condition that very likely caused my prior failed cycles and easily fixed the issue. Dr. Ghazal is someone whose brain seems to operate on a wholly different wavelength. She is knowledgeable while remaining humble, able to listen to her patients' needs, very empathetic to our concerns, and cheered us on throughout the cycle. Needless to say, her bedside manner is top-notch. Beyond the doctor, the staff at RISE is the best we have encountered in any medical practice. I was fortunate to work with Laura (RN). Laura has extensive medical training and was well equipped in answering my questions. By contrast, the coordinators at my previous clinic seemed to have little training, and merely acted as messengers for the doctors. Laura was also extremely responsive to my emails and phone calls (even at odd hours or on weekends) and was also personable at appointments. Crucially, Laura was also helpful in assisting us with transporting our embryos from my prior clinic to RISE. The RISE team (Allie, Angie, Heidi, Krystal, and Molly) were exceptional to work with! They genuinely became family throughout the process. A little less than a year after our initial consultation with Dr. Ghazal, I gave birth to our second child! As she lays in my arms, all I can think is how grateful I am that we chose to transfer our little "embryo that could" with Dr. Ghazal!

Today, we're blessed with our precious baby boy, who is almost 4 months old. A special shout out to Paula, Yaretzi, Ai, Lori, and especially Dr. James Lin. Paula is simply the best always incredibly responsive, on top of every detail, and quick to answer all of our questions while keeping us updated on lab work and results. Dr. Lin took the time to thoroughly explain every step, shared an incredible wealth of knowledge, and gave us complete confidence throughout the entire journey. The entire team made us feel welcomed, supported, and cared for every step of the way. After two unsuccessful IUI cycles, we moved on to IVF. We were blessed with just one embryo, and by God's grace, that one embryo became our beautiful son. Our journey was filled with uncertainty, hope, and perseverance, making him our little miracle. If you're struggling to conceive, we wholeheartedly recommend Dr. James Lin and the amazing team at Reproductive Fertility Center. They truly changed our lives, and we'll be forever grateful.

Dr. Nasab listened to every little thing that my partner and I had to say as our concern when we…read morehad initially sat down for our first consultation. She never promised anything except that she is going to try her best based on the previous attempts with a different doctor and the results that was provided to her from the previous clinic. She changed the routine in order to give us the best outcome possible based on the knowledge that was given, and she even sat down after each procedure explaining what had happened, and what each results meant and the stages that it was undergoing. In the end, she had obtained more eggs ever compared to the previous doctors combined, and was able to get one successful embryos to be cultured and turned out to be normal after the testing Be honest with her, and if you believe there is something that is not fertility related, but medically related and share that with her because she is an honest and a person of integrity who will let you know the truth based on her knowledge. Then there was my coordinator I was assigned to, Annie, who was probably one of the best coordinators I have ever worked with throughout all my medical appointments inside and outside of fertility treatments. She would be very clear and concise on her method of communication and would always follow up if a due date was approaching and I had not finished my side of the homework. I really appreciate all that she has done from beginning to end with her communication and her sense of compassion, love, and care for myself, and I'm sure she does that with all of her patience. If I can give some feedback, I would say she deserves a high pay raise

If you are struggling with recurrent pregnancy loss or infertility and want to find out the root…read morecause? Please reach out to Dr. Rubal! I suffered from 3 pregnancy losses and didn't know where to turn until a friend of mine told me about Dr. Rubal and how she helped her become pregnant. I saw Dr. Rubal in May 2025, where she intentionally listened to me and my husband and our experience with loss. She was kind and compassionate but also straightforward and to the point when it came to the diagnoses. We saw her 3 times to create a game plan, which included taking supplements and also changing lifestyle factors. She was aways available via her patient portal to talk about next steps. 4 months later, I am so happy to say I am 8 weeks pregnant and finally got to hear that precious heart beat! IVF wasn't an option since it is a financial stressor as well as something that didn't align with my values. IVF isn't a 100% success rate or guarantee you will be blessed with a baby. Going with more holistic approach will save you a ton of money and you will learn a lot about your health and body. I encourage you to listen to Dr. Rubal on several podcasts before hand so you can gain a sense of how much it may cost you vs IVF and compare the success rates between the two approaches. Please keep in mind, Dr. Rubal in a one woman show, so it may take 2-3 weeks for her to get back to your initial message. You may also have to wait a bit for your appointment time because she it so committed to all of her patients, she takes time with them and will do the same for you. And I know waiting any amount of time while trying to conceive it like a lifetime but be patient because she is worth it! Good luck!

After struggling with infertility for 8 years and experiencing a failed IVF cycle, I came to Dr…read more Rubal feeling discouraged and searching for answers. From the very beginning, she truly listened to my concerns and took the time to investigate the root causes affecting my health and fertility. Dr. Rubal quickly identified several underlying conditions, including endometriosis, PCOS, insulin resistance, prediabetes, high cholesterol, and other issues that had gone undiagnosed for years. She recommended a GLP-1 medication as part of my treatment plan, and after just three months, I feel like a completely different person. While I am still on my journey toward pregnancy, I finally feel hopeful because Dr. Rubal is helping me heal the underlying causes rather than simply treating symptoms. She is an exceptional physician with extensive medical knowledge, profound empathy, and a truly compassionate approach to patient care. She listens carefully, communicates clearly, and makes you feel genuinely supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Dr. Rubal to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and caring doctor who truly advocates for her patients.

Traditional docs had told me there was nothing to do anymore. From the first visit, she listened to everything I had to say and examined me, then we immediately began treatment.

I felt better in a week, and could see/feel even more results within the first month. 4 months later and I am baffled at the results. My quality of life has *massively* improved and its all thanks to her. She has a wonderful, kind bedside manner that makes you feel at ease, heard, and taken care of.

Since starting acupuncture in January 2026 I have not had a migraine since. I've had some mild headaches here and there (days I forgot to drink enough water, or ate garbage), but not my dreaded 3-4 day stuck in bed with all the lights off migraine terror. It's really been amazing. I'm now working with Dr. Zhao on all the other issues I've ignored for so long. The weird tennis elbow/carpal tunnel pain, insomnia, the random chronic things that I just learned to live in pain with. For new patients, you will go into a consultation and then almost seamlessly transition right in to treatment. So a consultation lasts like maybe 10-15 minutes and then the acupuncture (depending on what you have going on) may take 45 minutes. If you just want the consultation, no treatment, you will need to be very clear about this. Dr. Zhao is ready to work, so if you do NOT want treatment you'll need to speak up. My insurance unfortunately does not cover acupuncture ( I have an HSA) so I pay about $185 for cupping and acupuncture per session. I know with other insurance it would be about $15 co-pay. I recommend Dr. Zhao to everyone.

On occasion I've also seen Dr. Kaing and the ultrasound tech AJ for my scans and they were both very kind as well. Tracy at the front desk took the time to sit down with me and explain my insurance coverage and any out of pocket costs to expect, which I really appreciated. Insurance companies can be unpleasant at times and things can get messy but I do believe that the team at FCOC are doing their best with the billing. At each of my visits and procedures the nursing staff was always very helpful, while I can't remember everyone's name I really appreciated Anni and Lilly's care. Dr. Schneider the anesthesiologist was also very pleasant and comforting. Going to sleep for a procedure can be scary but I felt like I was in good hands. Over the course of the last 9 months whether it's delivering good or bad news Dr. Lin is realistic yet always optimistic; he offers options and respects our decisions, never pushing us to go a certain way. For some, IVF can become a longer than expected journey, I don't wish this upon anyone but should this be the case Dr. Lin will meet you with open arms.

Dr. Abae is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and caring. He never rushed any of my appointments and does not use "one size fit all" protocol which I'm very grateful for. He always takes time to read and analyze every test result, do each of my ultrasound, and answer all of our questions very thoroughly. He makes sure everything is perfect before diving into the next step and no wonder they have such good success rates :) The lab team is also so nice and experienced, Dr. Asemi was able to fertilize 9 high-grade embryos for us despite my low egg quality due to PCOS. She also patiently answered tons of questions before we chose the embryo. The nurses (Maria and Liz) are both so supportive and welcoming the whole time, making me feel much less anxious during the IVF treatment. They even have a direct line which patients could call them for any questions after work hours. I can't appreciate them more. Last but definitely not least, thanks to my awesome coordinator Becky and the office manager Minyi, they are angels! I could have never completed this journey without them. They always check on me after each appointment, making sure I'm feeling okay. They also gave me the biggest emotional support after egg retrieval and transfer. Sherrie is not my coordinator but she's also very friendly and always chat with me to make me less nervous before appointments.

After investing…read morea significant amount of money and going through multiple full IVF cycles, I walked away with no results--no pregnancy, no baby, just emotional and physical exhaustion. Throughout the process, I felt like I was just another number. There was a serious lack of personalized care, and I often left appointments with more questions than answers. I followed every instruction, every protocol, and trusted the process, but it felt like no one was really invested in my individual journey or well-being. To make matters worse, the treatments took a huge toll on my health. I gained a lot of weight, my hormones have been completely out of balance, and I've never felt this unhealthy--physically or emotionally.
