AVOID THIS CLINIC. After 3 strikes you should be out, I gave them 5. I am so sad with this whole…read moreprocess and I hope this review helps other women avoid this terrible practice. I am still waiting for "a follow up call" weeks later once again so I feel it's finally time to share my horrible experience. Please note-- I rarely write reviews (this is probably my first one), but I feel it's important to share my experience given the sensitivity of fertility care. While Dr. Gazelle has an impressive background with degrees from Harvard and Stanford and is very knowledgeable with statistics, my overall experience was extremely disappointing and, honestly, disheartening. From the start, the practice felt disorganized and impersonal. Her staff was kind when you reached them, but there were no check-ins, no follow-ups, and not even confirmation that my appointments were on the calendar--I had to constantly call to make sure I was scheduled. I was doing more work than them. Every appointment required pre-payment in cash, even before a short five-minute Zoom call, and Dr. Gazelle was consistently 15-30 minutes late, both virtually and in person. The promised "concierge liaison" never followed up regarding my lab work. Again, I had to reach out 3x to get loaded into my portal and each time they were loaded wrong. If I wanted to review the results I had already paid for, I was required to book another appointment and pay an additional $125 just to have them explained. Oh and note, the doctor won't get on the call until the cc transaction has processed. Please also note I do not care about paying cash for great service or medical care. We are financially sound. But the way they demanded the funds were just weird. I am business owner and this isn't the correct etiquette. After only a few tests (which in my opinion were not thorough), she quickly labeled me as "unexplained infertility" and immediately steered the conversation toward IUI--while simultaneously telling me it probably wouldn't work--and then pushed IVF as the only real option. "You must be exhausted after a year of trying on and off-- IVF is probably the best easiest route for you now." (Manipulation tactic-- "exhausted".). I came to her for answers not a magic $30-60k procedure that also could fail. No answers were given as everything she found was extremely healthy and normal. Beyond the financial frustration, what hurt the MOST was the lack of compassion. Fertility treatment is already one of the most emotionally vulnerable journeys a person can walk through, and I felt unseen, unheard, and treated more like a number than a patient. What should be a supportive and hopeful process felt transactional and even fear-driven. My feedback: This clinic desperately needs better systems, better communication, and above all, better patient care. A strong degree means little without empathy, organization, and follow-through. I cannot in good conscience recommend this doctor, despite her impressive credentials.

I spent 9 months with Dr. Anderson and left with no progress and a recommendation to consider donor…read moreeggs. I'm writing this so no one in a similar situation wastes the same precious time I did. Background: I came to him at 36 with severe DOR -- AMH of 0.03 and FSH consistently above 15. His approach was to wait until my FSH naturally fell to 15 or below before starting IVF. For someone in perimenopause, that's very unlikely. He also refuses to use estrogen priming to help lower FSH, citing egg quality concerns -- a position that, per multiple other specialists I've since spoken to, is not backed by current evidence. The biggest driver of egg quality is age, not estrogen priming. After nearly a year of waiting, disappointing appointments, and being told donor eggs might be my only option, I found Dr. Wayne Lin at FCOC (Amazing doctor!!). He immediately came up with a game plan, starting with estrogen priming. I told him what Dr. A said and Lin assured me the biggest driver of egg quality is age, not estrogen priming. Lin put me on estrogen to bring my FSH down and started IVF right away. He gave me a realistic 30% chance of a normal embryo at my age. His facts were exact. Out of 3 eggs retrieved, only 1 was normal. She is now my healthy, bouncing, 14-month-old daughter. I later found out that Dr. Anderson is widely considered one of the most conservative fertility doctors in Orange County, and that some of his data points and methods appear to be outdated. His bedside manners are also a 5/10. At one appointment, as he walked in for yet another day 3 ultrasound and commented, "Boy, you're persistent". I was surprised, but I was willing to put up with him because I thought he was the best. However, I later found that Lin is a much more skilled doctor with unbeatable bedside manners. As for the office itself, it runs efficiently -- you're rarely waiting more than 10 minutes, and the finance department is genuinely skilled at navigating insurance issues, which is no small thing in the fertility world. The nursing staff was a mixed bag; about two-thirds were nice, but the remaining third had a cold, very 'Newport Beach' vibe -- like you were an inconvenience rather than a patient going through one of the hardest experiences of your life. That contrast was especially noticeable after switching to Dr. Lin's office, where every single nurse is kind and empathetic without exception. Conclusion: If your FSH is over 15 and he won't start IVF: LEAVE. Get a second opinion now. Time matters enormously in fertility treatment, and I wish someone had told me this sooner.

Southern California Center for Reproductive Medicine changed our family's life. After three IUIs,…read moretwo egg retrievals, and five embryo transfers we have a 1.5 year old daughter, and now a baby boy on the way! We can say with complete confidence that we would not have our family without Dr. Anderson and his extraordinary team. What makes SCCRM special is not just the outcome--it's how they operate, which is increasingly rare in modern healthcare. Dr. Anderson is the foundation of this practice. His decades of experience and deep understanding of reproductive medicine set him apart. He does not follow cookie cutter protocols; every decision is individualized and intentional. He is methodical, conservative when appropriate, and determined when it matters--never doing anything unnecessary, but never withholding something that could help, even marginally. That balance made us feel safe, respected, and fully supported throughout an unpredictable journey. I've seen criticisms of Dr. Anderson, but that was not our experience. He listens, explains, and genuinely cares. When things didn't go as planned, he was just as disappointed as we were. When we had wins, he celebrated them sincerely. He is unusually accessible--available seven days a week and responsive when questions or concerns arise. He felt like a true partner, and we trust him completely. He does not sugarcoat difficult information, but he delivers it with honesty and respect. Most importantly, he is relentless in his commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. If you trust Dr. Anderson, follow his guidance, and give the process the time it requires, he will do everything in his power to help you succeed. The nursing staff is exceptional and deeply invested in patient care. * Julia consistently went above and beyond with warmth and clarity. * Crista brought calm confidence and excellent communication. * Daisy offered unwavering empathy and attentiveness. * Doris provided comedic relief while being thoughtful and thorough. * Joyce was incredibly sweet and highly skilled, always making us feel at ease. Molly at the front desk also deserves special recognition. She was consistently kind, welcoming, and a comforting presence at the beginning and end of every visit. We also worked with Dr. Royster, who performed one of my egg retrievals while Dr. Anderson was away for his daughter's wedding. His skill and professionalism ensured seamless continuity of care and reinforced the strength of the entire team. Operationally, SCCRM runs like a well oiled machine. Scheduling, monitoring, communication, and procedures are efficient and intentional. You always know what's happening, why it's happening, and what comes next--something that significantly reduces stress during an emotionally taxing process. Our family exists today because of Dr. Anderson and the team at Southern California Center for Reproductive Medicine. Their expertise, consistency, and unwavering commitment turned an uncertain and exhausting process into real results. We will continue to recommend them without hesitation to anyone navigating this journey.

I have been a patient here seeing the wonderful Nurse practitioner Tabitha for almost 2 years now…read more I absolutely adore her and this office. She is compassionate, efficient, knowledgeable, and joy to visit, which I say a lot when you consider that no one likes going to the OB/GYN. I like how good she is with explanations and I never feel rushed. She can also do other procedures, such as laser rejuvenation. I love how good attack the office is as well - they are on top of things, they have a portal, they do telehealth and there's no issues that I've had with that either. They are located conveniently to the other medical buildings in Newport. If I have to go to the OB/GYN, might as well get some beach time or yummy food lol.

The entire team was just as incredible. So blessed to have been able to have Amanda as our coordinator. She always answered all of our crazy questions and concerns in a timely manner and was so helpful through all the ups and downs we went through. Every coordinator, and staff member treated us with kindness, patience, and genuine care. They consistently took the time to explain each step, answer our questions, and make sure we both felt included and supported throughout the process. No moment ever felt rushed, and no concern ever felt too small. What stood out most was how safe and confident we felt placing something so important in their hands. My wife and I are endlessly grateful for the expertise, empathy, and unwavering support we received. This clinic didn't just guide us through treatment -- they walked alongside us every step of the way. We cannot recommend this doctor and team highly enough. We will be back for baby number 2 whenever the time comes! Also huge shoutout to Tu and Dhinalie for all their amazing help and support! Thank you HRC for helping us start our family :)

He also suggested other things to do to increase success that I never heard about prior. He is intelligence, skilled, confident and will get the outcome we all want. After all, he came up with the procedure all doctors use to transfer the embryo!

Most of my ultrasounds were with Dr. Lin and he always takes the time to address concerns and explain next steps. 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. After 4 cycles of IVF I can say with certainty that Dr. Lin will do everything to help you grow your family - he will take care of you.

From my first visit to my graduation day everyone from the front desk, to the MA's, and sonographer has been so helpful and welcoming. Every visit they were able to answer all my questions and give me quality of care. As a patient who has gone through 4 failed IUIs at a different clinic you can only imagine the loss of hope we had. It wasn't until we met Dr. Dilday did I we regain hope for a future again. She is truly a kind and knowledgeable Dr that I have ever come across and it showed with the type of care she provided for us.

Dr. Elizabeth Dilday is wonderful, and if I were rating her alone, it would be 5 stars without a…read moresecond thought. But this review is about my entire experience with egg freezing here -- and the frustrations have buried the highlights. I genuinely wanted to love this place. I just can't. Start with billing, which has been a nightmare. I need my invoices for medical reimbursement -- that's money I'm owed back -- and despite staff promising to "expedite things," it took 2.5 to 3 months to get them, lack of email responses, calls with no number to call back, extensions that only goes to empty voicemails, after they'd sat marked "pending" for nearly two months. And when I finally reviewed the charges, the refund amounts had been added up wrong. So now I'm double-checking their math too. To fix it, I had to chase a separate department on East Coast time, which became an endless game of phone tag. Their billing is somehow both impossible to reach and disorganized once you do. I came on a referral specifically for Dr. Dilday, and everything was fine -- until the morning of my procedure, when I was casually told she wouldn't be performing it. Instead it'd be whoever was on rotation. How is the day-of an acceptable time to learn that the entire reason I chose this clinic isn't the person operating on me? A heads-up days in advance is not a big ask. Dr. Dilday did visit me, which was genuinely sweet -- but one kind gesture can't paper over how poorly this was communicated. Then the anesthesia, which still upsets me. I told the anesthesia team and every doctor that I come out of anesthesia rough -- clearly and repeatedly. Nobody believed me. The anesthesiologist brushed me off, saying that in all his years he'd never had a problem, and any issues before were because I hadn't had him. Well -- I had an adverse reaction. I woke up in traumatic, screaming pain, a 20 out of 10, exactly what I'd warned about. I wish he'd taken me seriously as he weaned me off the medication after the OR. My recovery was far worse than the two similar procedures I've had before -- genuinely concerning -- and I'm left wondering if it was the technique, the anesthesia, or both. When a patient tells you exactly what will happen to their body and you ignore them, this is what you get. Now the pharmacy. CCRM uses an outside pharmacy, and that was its own disaster. The driver "missed the delivery window," and then management couldn't even locate their own driver for hours. When they finally found him, he had to meet me at a dinner venue -- where I walked out in front of all my friends to grab a giant cooling box for medication I did not want to explain to anyone. I was over an hour and a half late to my event, then had to inconvenience someone to store the meds in their fridge, which meant sharing a deeply personal situation I'd have preferred to keep private. I basically lost a whole day on the phone juggling team members over a pickup that should have been a simple delivery. And all that chaos traced back to one decision: the clinic sent only a single day's loaned dose. So of course I then had to call the on-call doctor after hours to report I didn't have what I needed for day two. I still don't understand why they couldn't just loan two days' worth so nobody has to scramble. It got worse. Right before my trigger injection -- the most time-sensitive, do-not-mess-this-up part of the whole process -- the on-call doctor clearly hadn't read the notes from the physician before him. He instructed me to start a medication I was never given and that was never ordered. I was at work, and he sent me into a full panic attack, because I couldn't drop everything to figure out what I supposedly had, literally the second-to-last day before my trigger. The lack of professionalism, the broken handoffs, the total breakdown in communication between departments, physicians, and billing -- it has genuinely let me down. And it's worse because this could be such a great place. The talent is here, the reputation is real, and I drove two hours each way because of it. I could have stayed local, but I took the referral and did my research -- only to find out how much exhausting, unnecessary work this would be. Roughly four months later, I'm still chasing invoices that don't add up or aren't complete enough to even submit. Fertility patients are already carrying enough emotionally, physically, and financially. It should not be this exhausting. The anxiety, the frustration, the helplessness, and the feeling of not being heard at times really don't make this experience with CCRM. I wish it wasn't so, and I am so sorry for leaving this review, but i really don't wish this upon anyone who is coming hoping for a good result.
