I started my journey with Dr. Aimee 10 years ago, when I first went to see her about freezing my…read moreeggs. At the time, I wasn't ready to start a family, but I wanted to keep my options open. I didn't have a lot of eggs, so I had to undergo several retrievals. As I got older, the quality of my eggs also declined. At my last retrieval, when I was 40, Dr. Aimee recommended trying PRP. She was very honest with me that it was a newer procedure, but that the results were promising. I ended up retrieving just two eggs. We created embryos, and incredibly, we ended up with one healthy baby boy and one healthy baby girl. Our son--the little boy my husband had always hoped for--came from one of those eggs I retrieved at age 40. With Dr. Aimee's help, I became pregnant through IVF, and we welcomed our beautiful son, who is now 2 1/2 years old. When we decided we wanted a second child, my previous delivery had been difficult, so we made the decision to use a surrogate. Once again, Dr. Aimee was there for us every step of the way. She connected me with multiple agencies, and I didn't have to wait long before finding an amazing surrogate who had been screened by Dr. Aimee. She was local, which meant I was able to be part of the pregnancy and birth journey in a way that was incredibly special to me. I also had a difficult time finding an in-network doctor we felt comfortable with, and Dr. Aimee personally recommended someone and helped make the connection. She went above and beyond--not just as our fertility doctor, but as someone who genuinely cared about helping us complete our family. Our healthy baby girl was just born, and she is absolutely perfect. I am so incredibly grateful to Dr. Aimee and her amazing team for everything they have done for our family over the past 10 years. They have been there for us through every stage of this journey, and I truly don't know what our family would look like without them. My husband jokes that if Dr. Aimee told me to jump off a bridge, I probably would. And honestly, he's right. That's how much I trust her. She is kind, compassionate, brilliant, honest, and direct. She always has her patients' best interests at heart and works tirelessly to help them achieve their dreams of building a family. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Aimee for helping us bring our two beautiful children into the world. She didn't just help us have babies--she helped us complete our family. I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough.

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!

I absolutely loved Dr. Fischer and his team. Long story short we considered fertility preservation…read moreas I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I met with MULTIPLE REs and basically interviewed them to see why I should continue with fertility and why I should pick them. I was clear from the start that I wasn't sure if I wanted to harvest eggs and create embryos. I never had the NEED that some women have when it comes to being a mom and I didn't want to go through this process if my chances for success aren't likely. I said I would like my doctor to be very up front and tell me if it looks like it will happen or not. Dr Fischer met with us multiple times before hand and was very informative, he gave me options that others didn't but most importantly he listened to my concerns and was honest in his opinions. Although my surgeon was able to get all the cancer out we were still going to proceed with the protocol for cancer patients. Since I was still apprehensive about having kids at all, on the morning I was supposed to start injections I made my final decision to not pursue IVF. The process isn't easy and since I'm still recovering from surgery I didn't see the value in doing this for the potential for 0-1 embryo. It isn't important enough for me to do IVF and try for nothing. If I would end up with 2 or 3 embryos I would have done it but not for less. Again he was very supportive and said if I wanted to try later I can since I won't be doing chemo and in a year my fertility won't drastically change. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend this team and if I decided to try I would use them.

I've contemplated writing this review for a while now, but I've decided it's important for others…read morewho may be in similar circumstances. RMA was recommended to us by a friend, and after reading every glowing review and doing some research of our own, we decided to save up and schedule our initial appointment. Unfortunately, RMA did not accept our insurance, so we called ahead to confirm exactly how much the appointment would cost out of pocket and what would be included. During our visit, the entire team was friendly and kind--which we appreciated. However, in this industry, it takes much more than friendly staff. Our concerns stem from two major issues. First, they were unable to draw blood during our very first visit. This was a big red flag, as bloodwork is an essential and recurring part of the fertility process. Second, we encountered unexpected hidden fees. While we were told blood would be drawn in-house, we were not made aware that it would be sent to a third party, resulting in a significant additional cost. After two years of trying on our own, we put a lot of time and hope into finding the right clinic to guide us through this emotional, sensitive, and expensive journey. Instead, we left feeling overwhelmed and without the clarity we were hoping for. This experience may be different for those whose insurance is accepted, but if you are paying out of pocket and looking for a more transparent and supportive fertility clinic, I would recommend exploring other options.

I'm currently going through my IVF journey with RMA, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the…read morecare and support I've received. My primary doctor is Dr. Kort in San Francisco, and he has been absolutely amazing. I truly appreciate that RMA allows me to do my weekday monitoring appointments at their Danville location, which is much closer to home. This flexibility has made the process so much easier and more convenient. From the moment I walk in to the Danville location, the front desk staff is always warm and welcoming (I need to get her name because she's been wonderful!). The nurses and doctors at this location are all incredibly kind, professional, and compassionate. A special shoutout to my assigned nurse, Carmela! Carmela has been such a source of comfort and reassurance throughout this process. IVF is such an emotional and challenging journey, and feeling truly seen, heard, and cared for makes all the difference. Since monitoring appointments rotate doctors, I've had the opportunity to see Dr Morin and Dr Shapiro here, and they have been wonderful. From lab work, to ultrasounds.. It's clear that the staff genuinely cares about their patients, and that level of attentiveness is something I appreciate. If you're considering RMA, I highly recommend them. This journey isn't easy, but having a compassionate and knowledgeable team by your side makes all the difference. Thank you to everyone at RMA Danville for making this experience as positive as possible.

We have been Kaiser patients/ insurance holder for many year and always thought Kaiser was highly…read moreregarded. After our experience at this clinic today we are really lowering our expectations of Kaiser care. This morning my wife and I had the most stressful and disappointing experience at this Kaiser location. If you want compassionate and respectful care do not come here and ask for the nurse Linsey. She really doesn't belong in healthcare. We had an appointment at 8 am this morning for an IUI. Last three appointments it took us 40min to get here. This morning when we left the house at 7am the gps said it will take 1:30min. While 2/3 of the way there I called them at 8 am to let them know. When Lindsey picked up she said we can no longer do the IUI. I tried to explain to her three times our situation and that the travel time increased unexpectedly, each time she interrupted me and did not let me finish my sentence. When I finally was able to explain to her that we would be there at 8:40am she did not listen/understand, she did not care or want to hear what I had to say. My wife and I worked tirelessly for weeks to prepare for the IUI only to hear her cold and careless rejection. My wife started to cry in the car and I had to beg another nurse to let us do it. In the end we were able to do the IUI, but i will never trust or respect this Kaiser again. After the apportionment I tried to explain my disappointing experience to another nurse Cynthia. I thought she would listen and take the feeback, but instead her first words were "this all happened because you were late" and then continued to lecture me on the importance of being on time in all aspects of life, while also interrupting me when I tried to talk. All I wanted to do today was give feedback, but they seem to think they are perfect and don't need feedback. I am actually also a healthcare worker, and I would never ever EVER talk to a patient the way they talked to me!!! It's really heartbreaking to know that people in THiS department do not have compassion or go the extra mile for patients. In my clinic I do everything I can do make sure patients get treated on time. I don't mind waiting 1-2 hours, working until mid night, or on weekends. I treat patients like family. What happened to compassionate care and going above and beyond? I really don't think they know what patients are going through or how they feel when we come in the clinic, they worse thing is, they really don't bother to know. I am writing this in hopes that in the future no other patient will go through what we had to deal with today.: my wife crying first thing in the morning, the stress on top of stress, the anger, the feeling that they don't care about you, and the indifference. Again, I stand by my opinion, I do not think Linsey belongs in healthcare. I do not want anyone without compassion or willingness to go above and beyond to treat us.

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.

The practice also feels much more impersonal than it once did. I used to feel seen and heard, but that is no longer my experience. I was recently transferred to the RSVP office, where I don't know any of the providers. After being a loyal patient for so many years, I felt more like I was being passed along than cared for. Dr. Wells remains a skilled and compassionate physician, but the office, patient experience, and continuity of care have changed significantly. I hope the practice takes this feedback to heart and remembers the value of long-term patient relationships.

First, Dr. Starr had moved to PAMF in Dublin, I think Yelp should update this!…read more How should I start? I started to see Dr. Starr in 2011 after I had horrible experiences with another OB in Valley Care. After talking to the office management, they recommended me to switch to Dr. Starr. I instantly felt "She's the right doctor" after my first visit. Out of her busy schedule, she was very patience with me for all my questions. Her wonderful bedside manner just made each office visit pleasant . Through my pregnancy, I had many complications, and she was on top of them. She communicated closely with other specialists about my pregnancy and conditions! On my 6 weeks check up postpartum, she discovered I had my tailbone fractured during delivery.

The pressure around choosing an OBGYN is often minimized by society. We write women off as being…read moredramatic/emotional and that any doctor should be fine. In my opinion obstetrics is probably the most important field in woman's health. It's taken me over one year and a lot of courage to write this review but I feel like what I went through should be shared so that other women deciding on their OBGYN will not have the same result. BED SIDE MANNER I initially wanted to have Dr. Jeffrey-Starr as my OBGYN because of her rave reviews from my neighbor who had a very positive experience with her after a bad experience with her first child. When I first met with Dr. Starr she confronted me with rude comments like why have you seen so many doctors? What is wrong with you? I had seen many doctors due to my endometriosis, it went undiagnosed initially by Dr. Pham who is also at that practice, but later Dr. Beatty (the only doctor I can recommend at that practice) ordered the necessary tests to be able to diagnose it. Every time I asked her questions about my pregnancy she dismissed me as if I was hyper concerned. I thought maybe I was being irrational, given she's done this a thousand times and I have only been pregnant once. She was always in and out of the room after about 5-10 minutes. She would appear visibly annoyed when I asked if I could facetime my husband for the appointment (as this was during the height of COVID) or if I asked if I could go through my list of questions (i.e., is this normal in pregnancy type Qs?) OFFICE FUNCTIONALITY I saw Dr. Starr once every third appointment. She never responded to a single inquiry I had through the online portal, instead it was her office staff who took anywhere from 3-8 days. Her NP would frequently say "that's a Q for Dr. Starr," in which I would never receive any follow through on whether the Q was relayed to her. I consistently waited in the office for my appointment anywhere between 1-2 hours. This is tough for a pregnant woman who is also working. DIAGNOSIS/CARE Because of our infrequency in communication, I didn't really feel like Dr. Starr was my doctor. My saving grace was a family friend who was an OBGYN. I could call her and ask her about symptoms I was having and she would tell me whether they were concerning or not. When she said they were concerning, I went to the ER and got the necessary blood work done. I did end up getting contractions early on and had some symptoms consistent with liver issues (all of these things went undiagnosed) and didn't seem concerning to Dr. Starr. When I was admitted to the hospital due to high blood pressure, I was there for 7 days. The first 72 hours I was induced, on a high amount of pitocin, on an epidural for 4 days, several cervical exams, a serious of high fevers, and very low over sight from Dr. Starr. I had asked Dr. Starr if we should go through a birth plan together, prior to me going to the hospital and she said no. At the hospital, I saw 5 other OBs at the hospital and there was no consistency of care. Finally, I requested a C section after having a very high fever of 102 and my blood pressure shooting up to the 170s. The C section was performed quickly but there was a lot of bickering on the other side of the curtain (overall it seemed like the care team wasn't functioning well together). In the recovery room, I went into septic shock, the rapid response team was called and was transferred to the ICU where my life was literally being saved. There were probably 20-30 different medical professionals buzzing around me, and I didn't see my baby for 3 days after he was born. AFTER CARE Dr. Starr visited me once when I was in the ICU to take my bandages off. I couldn't get an appointment with her for my 6 week post op apt. A different OB said my scar tissue indicates the surgery wasn't performed skillfully. Overall I would not recommend Dr. Starr and actually feel obligated to warn others because the result of having her as your doctor could be fatal.

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.
