At age 40 IUI worked on the 3rd round thanks to the experts at NCFMC! It's been 3 years now since my 2nd son was born and I've been meaning to update my review but been a little busy enjoying our amazing blessings! We are so grateful to the whole staff but especially Dr Doblado. Don't wait for too long (like we did) to see them!

Life is beautiful in more ways than I could have ever imagined. THANK YOU

Dr. Jaime and his wife Jennifer are the best! I went in to see them because I had been amenorrheic…read morefor a year. I didn't know what else to do. I've been told I have PCOS, I don't have PCOS. I might have endometriosis... all the things. And one day, I would like to become pregnant. He has helped me soo much. My periods have now started up again, they're still a little out of wack but at least they're back. He really cares about you, and I feel like he goes the extra mile to make you not only feel at ease but also feel heard. No one else has been really able to help me. I've gone to multiple doctors, naturopaths, and the one thing that's been a constant in my life is doing acupuncture and taking the Chinese herbs Dr Jaime gives me depending on what my body is going through at that time of visit. I have hope that I'll be able to have kids if I continue to see them.

Preface- my husband and I had been trying to conceive for about 8 months. I stumbled across the…read morefacility & doctor through an ad for stress acupuncture. It was a Thursday evening session, and community style. I did a little research as I have never had acupuncture before, but I felt like this was something I needed as I'm under a lot of stress from the daily world. It was about a 30-40 min session. He placed about 5 needles per ears and it felt like nothing. We chatted about my journey, and he was really great in explaining each pressure point to me, and just overall how it'll help with the stress I've been under. After the needles I meditated for about 20 mins, and he removed them. It was a great stress reliever and I just felt calm afterwards, almost like I was on a cloud. It was definitely a different feeling than when I walked in. Well about two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant and now going on my 7th week. Again we've been trying for 8 months, and I was so discouraged but the stress I was under was more than normal and the social pressures of getting pregnant at my age was a lot. I personally feel like this little session helped me so much, and just really assisted in my journey. Thankful I found this place, and recommend to anyone who is under a lot of stress that is just in need of a small moment to get some clarity.

The main REI at this clinic, Dr. Zeringue, is truly exceptional. He genuinely cares for his…read morepatients, takes the time to explain everything clearly, and even shares images and research studies to help you understand your options. I really appreciate how thorough he is in discussing both the condition and possible treatments.The staff are equally wonderful--Valentina and Dionne are so kind and welcoming--and I also value that the clinic is family-friendly and allows children. Dr. Zeringue has decades of experience and is highly knowledgeable in the ever-evolving field of reproductive endocrinology. It's reassuring to see a physician who stays current with the latest research and advances. I previously visited another local clinic where I felt more like a customer than a patient. They even refused to do a saline sonogram until after egg retrieval, which felt like a huge red flag. In contrast, when I came here, Dr. Zeringue personally performed the saline sonogram before IVF, thoroughly examined everything, and explained it all in detail. I never felt rushed to make a decision, and yet I still received excellent, compassionate care. A close friend recommended CalIVF after her successful IVF journey, and I'm so glad she did. My experience here has exceeded every expectation!

Her approach is serious, direct, and focused entirely on results, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. She was against PGT testing in my case and chose to transfer our embryos at day 3--not day 5--and thank God she did. Our embryo stuck, and it worked. She made every decision with precision and purpose, and we are forever grateful for her role in giving us a viable pregnancy. I've seen some negative reviews about her being too serious or not warm enough. But she's not here to sugarcoat--she's here to help you get pregnant. She's not a miracle worker or a god, but she's a highly skilled doctor who makes bold, thoughtful decisions based on science and experience. The rest is up to your body. Also, I've seen some reviews criticizing her for telling patients to lose weight before proceeding. But honestly--what's wrong with that? Don't we want to be as healthy as possible for pregnancy? I personally lost 10 pounds in the months leading up to our transfer because I wanted to give my body the best chance. Dr. Ratcliffe doesn't sugarcoat things--but that's because she's focused on outcomes, not comfort. If what you care about is results, not small talk, you're in good hands with Dr. Ratcliffe. We're forever grateful. We will be back for our other embryos soon:-)

I wish I could be happy to write this. at the time i met Dr Ratcliff My Husband and I had been…read moretrying for about a year with no success, so I started to worry of course and started looking for fertility doctors near me to get tested and ask questions. to start at that time i was 37, no kids, never had issues with pregnancy just had never gotten pregnant before. Upon arrival, the front office staff were kind. Dr Ratcliff came out and greeted us, but was very none enthusiastic, like we were bothering her. Im sure by my hello, she could tell i was terrified and uneasy about this whole situation. We sat in the back room with her in her office, I had read reviews that her "bedside" manner was not great, but i didnt expect what i got. she asked a bunch of health questions about my husband and myself which of course i expected. she then went into how babies are made, and explained issues with fertility.and why infertility happens. Which i did appreciate because i did learn some things. THEN WE TOOK A TURN. she told me and my husband, that "we would be irresponsible to continue to try and get pregnant" when i heard that i started to cry. No empathy at all. I asked her "what do you mean?" she doubled down and told us that we are too unhealthy and im old now and my baby would most likely have "lifelong" issues I wish i was kidding. I was shocked and terrified and completely overwhelmed. she said options could be IUI or IVF if that didnt work but she wouldn't do either of those for me because i needed to lose 90 pounds before my birthday (which mind you was in about 6 weeks). I said well if i lost that much weight i would be unhealthy but ok. Then she said because if i did it and you end up with a baby who is sick, you will sue me. so then it clicked to me that this wasnt about me or my husband and i trying to start a family, it was about her. She talked to us like we were children and not grown adults seeking advice and help. She told us which tests she wanted us to do and we could go from there. Sperm testing for my husband and she said she would order blood work for me. Then she said she's going to do the ultrasound to see how many follicles i have - saying at my "advanced age" i should have at least 18 but was snarky about it as if she thought there was no way i had enough. So we went into the ultrasound room and sure enough i had like 23. Its almost like she was shocked. We then went to leave, she provided us with the sperm testing information for my husband - and said my tests would be ordered and i would get an email when they were so i could go to the lab. NEVER GOT THE EMAIL - tests never got ordered My husband did the sperm test 3 days later. Dr Ratcliff called him with the results and told him he is about 100k more than what would be "normal" but instead of just giving him the good news she doubled down and said again on the phone. "I highly encourage you and your wife to not continue to try as it would be "irresponsible". He hung up on her. I knew after that appointment i would never go back. I would do anything to be a mom but i am not going to be belittled to make that happen. I met with an OB a few weeks later and told her of my experience and she was SHOCKED. But, without me even saying who the doctor was, she knew, she asked me "did that happened to be Dr Ratcliff over in santa rosa" - THATS BAD, when the OB knew. she said she had so many patients tell her similar stories. But, despite her awful interactions with us and terrible demeanor and advice. I am happy to say that i am 9 weeks pregnant with my first child and i am so excited. So, if you are trying and struggling, i would not go to her go anywhere else

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 do not recommend this clinic from my experience as a patient…read more Poor assessment & clinical management. Waisted time & money going to Lamorinda Gynecology & surgery. Dr. Christianson's first question was if i live in Lamorinda. As a Nurse, I asked how her surgical approach for endometriosis surgery. Her answer was a bit questionable to me being in the field and after research & second opinion at UCSF. That is not the best option I will go for. My endometriosis has improved by 80% with UCSF non surgical recommendation. You only have one set of reproductive organs. The bay area has the best endometriosis doctors in the nation. There are other established programs (Stanford, kaiser, south). It was a mistake to go here because it was close to home.

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.

Dr. Aimee first helped us 7 years ago after my husband and I were struggling for 4 years. We did…read moreone egg retrieval and got two embryos. We got my first son from that round. After many years, my husband and I decided to try again. This time, we went through his insurance. We had such a horrible experience with the other clinic, we moved our leftover embryos back with Dr. Aimee. She gladly accepted to help us with our second. I cannot praise Dr. Aimee enough! She is a literal angel on earth. The reason we went to Dr. Aimee for our first son was because we didn't want to be treated like another number on a conveyor belt and she did not disappoint. Dr. Aimee goes above and beyond what anyone could ever expect as a patient. She has amazing bedside manners, she's hilarious and she answers any and all questions very thoroughly - I always wonder how she sleeps. If results didn't go our way, she showed us so much compassion. We never felt like another number/statistic and that's more than you can ever ask for while going through the stress of IVF. She might not take insurance, but you definitely get what you pay for. I've been with her for 2 retrievals, 6 years apart resulting in my 2 beautiful babies. We cannot thank Dr. Aimee enough! I've seen her practice expand and it's exciting to see how many more people she's able to help. Her team is AMAZING, warm and comforting. They communicate and troubleshoot issues efficiently and effectively. I never had any surprises with procedures or billing. We would recommend her a million times over because she is such a gem in Healthcare and an amazing human being. Thank you Dr. Aimee for helping us expand our family two times!! Saying we are greatful for Dr. Aimee is an understatement. We get to cherish our beautiful babies because of you. We love you!

Dr. Aimee is not only an incredible doctor, but also an incredible human being. She is very kind…read moreand empathetic and has great bedside manner. I have been seeing Dr. Aimee for about a year now and figured it was time for a review. Although we have not been successful yet, I have been to several other clinics prior to Dr. Aimee and truly feel that she has been the best by far and wanted to lay out a few reasons: (1) Dr. Aimee personally saw me for every single appointment so she was the one doing my ultrasound and bloodwork. She also always took extra time to have us speak to her in her office after every appointment to go over next steps. That is a level of care I haven't seen at other clinics, where it is sometimes rare to see your doctor more than a few times the entire cycle. (2) I have been going through IVF for 4 years, which means I have had many many ultrasounds done throughout that time. I had been diagnosed with DOR and "unexplained" infertility. Since Dr. Aimee personally attended to me at every appointment, she got to know my symptoms and body very well. She knew what was normal for me and what was not normal. After only 5 months with Dr. Aimee, she discovered silent endometriosis off a random comment I made about a sore back, despite no signs of endometriosis. She was then able to guide me towards a specialist, where I had laparoscopic surgery to discover Stage II endometriosis. I likely would've continued believing "unexplained" infertility was my diagnosis if she hadn't put in the effort to dig deeper. This is a huge benefit when you are actually seeing your provider every appointment. (3) Communication with Dr. Aimee is readily available and easy. This has been really helpful for me in those random moments where something stressful comes up or if something happens over the weekend, she is always responsive. I really appreciate the communication aspect because infertility is a huge and stressful battle and she truly makes sure that your doctor is not an additional source of stress. This is unlike other clinics I have been to, where communication and getting in touch with your doctor can be really difficult. She truly cares about each and every patient and wants you to succeed. (4) Dr. Aimee is a great doctor for people that feel like they've "tried everything else." She is willing to think outside the box to come up with different solutions to your problems. Additionally, she is constantly doing research and trying to find new ideas on how to find new avenues to success. There are so many other great things I want to say about Dr. Aimee, but it would make this review even longer! She is truly an incredible woman and doctor and I feel very grateful to have her as my doctor.
