Dr. Surrey got us results the first time all while monitoring me from LA--he knows what he is doing. I went to another clinic in Tennessee, before being referred here by a friend who got also got results the first time, where, I believe, the first clinic was "conservative" with my treatment to get more egg retrievals out of me--there, I did multiple egg retrievals with no embryos; SCRC did not do that. While I did go through multiple cycles, if my levels weren't where they needed to be, we stopped; Dr. Surrey didn't even attempt an egg retrieval until I was ready. We only did one transfer because it was successful the first time. The staff was amazing as well as the team and the surgery center team. A ten out of ten experience. We will be back to transfer our additional two embryos. Hoping we're as lucky with those as we were the first time.

Her office is exactly what you need it to be: calm, private, no waiting, no chaos. Just a space where you can actually breathe.

Everyone from the front desk to the nurses, ultrasound techs, and lab staff (and Dr. Ghadir, of course) was incredibly kind, helpful, and communicative.

An extra special thank you to my ultrasound tech, Angela, and the best nurse ever, Amber, who were both amazing and supportive from start to finish. The office is beautiful, modern, and very well run, which makes such a difference during something as personal as IVF. I can't recommend Dr. Ghadir and HRC Fertility enough!!

HRC Fertility has shown a staggering disregard for patient safety and accountability. My physician…read moreexplicitly ordered a mandatory 2-month preparation period with specific supplements before I could safely begin treatment. However, the nursing staff (Nurse Jennie) completely bypassed this medical plan. Without checking my menstrual cycle, my physiological status, or my health readiness, she blindly shipped medications months too early. Most alarmingly, when I questioned her, the nurse admitted in writing that she was 'confused' about my status--AFTER the high-potency drugs had already been shipped. This is reckless. Had I not been extremely vigilant and double-checked her instructions, I would have started a treatment that could have caused a catastrophic medical crisis for my health. After promising a resolution by the end of this week, HRC management has once again gone silent. They are attempting to withhold $5,000 for a shipment that was a direct result of their gross negligence. If you value your health and safety, be aware that this clinic prioritizes moving medication boxes over following doctor-mandated safety protocols." after shipped the nurse still saying confuse , why you shipped ?

They gave me a treatment I did not consent to and months later I am still dealing with the fallout. It has cost me thousands of dollars and numerous doctor's visits to remedy what they did. When I wrote to the clinic regarding my treatment and concerns they responded with condescending nonsense clearly meant to placate me and make me go away. No one took any accountability for what happened and, in fact, pretended nothing had. Out of the entire staff only one nurse seemed to care about me at all. Getting anyone to give me clear medical information was like pulling teeth. They condescend to and withhold information from you, seemingly due to a belief that their patients are incapable of emotionally handling information about their own healthcare. If you want a say in your own medical care and to be fully informed about the treatment you're receiving go somewhere else.

They are extremely responsive via email, even when I am asking a ton of questions. Linh responded to me in less than 30 minutes at 9pm on a Saturday night. Dr. Thomas is very knowledgable and kind, and explained things in detail so I had an understanding of why she suggested the protocol she did. She is considerate of the fact that I am paying out pocket and didn't just automatically suggest the most expensive treatments. The experience with this clinic has exceeded my expectations.

The first visit went somewhat well, getting in contact with them was difficult but not impossible. I wasnt able to provide a viable sample. I was referred for a second visit and waited for them to call and schedule.... nothing. After waiting for over a month i called several times trying to contact them, straight to voicemail, i left a voicemail and they never got back to me. After calling several times over the course of a week someone finally picked up and i scheduled an appt. The staff were very nice again, the donation rooms are pretty awkward, as well as their donation method, but i provided a sample. The doctor tried to call me a few days later and i was in a meeting and couldnt take the call. I tried calling back an hour later and nothing, after several tries someone told me they would take a note down for me, since they did not know why i was called. When the doctor finally was able to get ahold me I was informed that i am not fertile, devastating. This was delivered very callously by the doctor, who also wanted to remark that she had been trying to get ahold of me (i guess calling once and not getting someone makes that noteworthy), additionally she gave transphobic vibes. Everyone at the clinic used my chosen name, which is in my medical info, for some reason she chose to use my deadname. If i do decide to try again i wont be going here, my hcp can refer me elsewhere. If you are trans i suggest going somewhere else.

***THIS IS A LONG OVERDUE REVIEW of Dr. Catherine DeUgarte & PFCLA. Gosh, where do we begin. In or…read moreabout March, 2020 to June, 2022, we attempted at conceiving naturally but to no avail. We discovered that one of her tubes were blocked and a few polyps needed to be surgically removed. In or about June 2022, it dawned on me that IVF was a viable option (mind you, I've never considered IVF prior to this and possibly even had subconscious bias towards it). With the new epiphany, came the relentless due diligence on Yelp, Google and the internet at large. We narrowed down the potential doctors / clinics to: 1) Dr. Wendy Chang of SCRC (Southern CA Reproductive Center in Beverly Hills) and 2) Dr. Catherine DeUgarte of CMD Fertility. (NOTE: PFCLA was not on our list at this juncture because Dr. Catherine DeUgarte had her own practice at CMD Fertility and had not yet merged with PFCLA). We ultimately took a leap of faith and went with Dr. Wendy Chang of SCRC - and our experience was disastrous. The final IVF result was an abject failure. Throughout the entire IVF process, interactions with Dr. Wendy Chang of SCRC v. our subsequent interactions with Dr. Catherine DeUgarte of PFCLA were literally night and day. Since this Yelp review is not intended to be a scathing repudiation of Dr. Wendy Chang & SCRC, I will refrain from delving into the specificities. The aforementioned account is predicated solely on our personal experience with Dr. Wendy Chang & SCRC, so it's advisable to conduct your own due diligence. After our disastrous experience with Dr. Wendy Chang & SCRC, the process of which consummated in or about December, 2022, we were disheartened, dejected, reeling and livid all at the same time, so we decided to implement a hiatus and respite from IVF altogether. Lo and behold, in January, 2023, we proceeded with the unthinkable - we began choosing an egg donor and surrogate via HATCH (an affiliate of PFCLA). We executed a contract and paid all fees up-front in order to secure a spot on the surrogate waitlist, while we began searching for an egg donor. Talk about desperation on our part. The silver lining, however, was Greg Wiles, the President of HATCH, who was phenomenal during the many telephone conferences and email exchanges. Greg was such a breath of fresh air as he patiently walked us through the entire egg donation / surrogacy process. I truly appreciate him. In or about March, 2023, we miraculously rekindled our spirits and decided to give IVF another chance. Mind you, we were then [concurrently] proceeding with both IVF and Egg Donation / Surrogacy pathways - no one has ever heard of such a concurrent process. Then came Yelping and Googling all over again for an IVF doctor / clinic. Our due diligence this time around resulted in 1 clear choice: Dr. Catherine DeUgarte of PFCLA (Note: Dr. Catherine DeUgarte of CMD Fertility merged with PFCLA in 2023). Dr. Catherine DeUgarte is literally GODSENT. After thoroughly reviewing our prior IVF case files from SCRC, Dr. Catherine DeUgarte was genuinely confident and optimistic. We trusted her through the process and she exceeded our expectations 100x over. We netted 6 healthy embryos ( "Zero" with Dr. Wendy Chang of SCRC). Go figure. Fast forward to March 28th, 2024 - OUR SON WAS BORN. ***You may take this review with a grain of salt and conduct your own due diligence. As a seasoned lawyer, however, I perform in-depth due diligence vis-à-vis any and all major decisions I make in my personal life, with the unparalleled meticulousness that you will rarely see in any individual. I want to thank PFCLA and in particular, Dr. Catherine DeUgarte. Catherine, we just want you to know that the countless hours you invest in your patients; the incredibly genuine and caring personal attention you confer to your patients; your steadfastness in providing your cell phone number to your patients; your deliberate decision to take on only a limited number of patients per year in order retain quality over quantity; and of course, your amazing clinical acumen, ARE NOT IN VAIN. Thank you Dr. DeUgarte & PFCLA.
