Wow my first session here and it was so throughly explained!…read more I've been to one from my insurance and also to the college but this was such a pleasant and different experience! They did a meridian scan and I was impressed. What it showed was exactly how I was feeling. Dr. Jo came in and then went over the results and did my acupuncture session. After 20 mins I already felt better. Since it was my first visit they also gave me a goodie bag filled with treats and water to hydrate myself. Highly recommend this place!

I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have taken the holistic approach to treating my disease. I decided to try acupuncture to see if it could assist with my inflammation and pain. I did my research and decided to try Lee Acupuncture based on all the positive reviews. There were even a few reviews coming from arthritis patients who had obtained good results. They're located in a small business plaza that borders Costa Mesa & Newport Beach. The big "Melton Int'l Tackle" sign is a good landmark. They are located all the way down the alley on the right. Free parking is available. The office itself is rather small with 3-4 patient rooms and a small waiting area that's comfortably furnished with 2 chairs, a sofa and some snacks & water. I was pleased to learn that my insurance covered the first 6 sessions (per year) at $40 co-pay per session. After that the rate goes up, but you can buy a package that offers lower rates. The very 1st session was interesting, as they hooked me up to a machine to determine how balanced my energy was flowing internally. It highlighted key areas of improvement. The belief is that the more balanced I am, the less inflammation I will have. Each session is about 1/2 an hour. I started going twice a week, and now I go once a week. I was assigned to Dr. Kim who thoroughly explained everything to me prior to starting, and continues to remain helpful and caring. He inserts the needles in various areas, primarily my hands, feet and head. Sometimes it hurts a little when the needles go in, and a couple times I've bled after the needles came out, but that's probably because it hit a vein. I lay on the table for 1/2 hour and feel very relaxed afterwards. In addition to the acupuncture, I take herbs that I purchase from them for $90 for 1 weeks worth. They said it's very important to keep taking the herbs as it assists with the healing process. I had also read about this online. I take the herbs 2x a day (AM & PM) with food. I mix the herbs with a little water and drink it like a tea. After approximately two months of acupuncture and drinking herbs, I can positively say that my inflammation has gone down significantly. I took a photo of my inflammation on my hands & feet prior to starting, and there has been a big improvement! I will definitely continue seeing Dr. Kim, and I'm so happy I discovered Lee Acupuncture.

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.

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.

He seems to love what he does. I'm sad I'll have to find a new doctor when we move in a couple months. I highly recommend Dr. Mahller and his team. The entire staff at Orange County OBGYN is great. I also had the pleasure of seeing Tabitha Indries, NP, for a couple of my appointments during my most recent pregnancy, and she was kind, genuine, personable, and went out of her way to discuss and address all of my questions and concerns.

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.

Yet, at the consultation yesterday, I was blindsided when the doctor told me they do not offer these services to women older than 46. The staff scheduling appointments should know this and be transparent. I could have mentally prepared to hear they could only offer using donor sperm AND eggs. Furthermore, when I scheduled, I asked if they did labs and US for AFC on the same day, to which they replied yes. Yesterday, I was on day 3 of my menstrual cycle, the optimal timing for these studies. None of these studies were offered. Of note, other fertility centers check an AFC as part of their initial consultation to guide the recommendations. That makes sense! Assuming infertility based on age is dismissive. I haven't even tried natural conception. My personal data (labs and AFC) would have helped to understand my fertility potential, rather than applying research from primarily black/white/asian data on a Latina and condemning me to using other people's DNA. Charging $75 to schedule an appointment without transparency of their services to then bill a consult is unacceptable. I gave an additional star because I was given a referral to a center that treats women over 46. I was offered to cancel the consult, but I chose to continue so I could try to understand the options they offer. Furthermore, the front desk staff was unable to answer a simple question of how long HRC has been in business. This location did not meet my expectations, but hopeful it will for others.

This review is overdue…read more I am a patient of Dr. Royster's and welcomed my son (first baby) in December. My husband and I are forever grateful to the entire SCCRM team. Experiencing infertility is one of the most isolating, saddening, and frankly scary experiences a couple can go through. From our first virtual meeting with Dr. Royster, we felt confident in his abilities and appreciated his kind bedside manner. We deeply appreciated how accessible both he and the staff were. Many Drs are impossible to get ahold of now, and front desk teams use automated messaging - that is never the case here. When I started my first round of injections, we had a mixup with needle sizes and we called at 9pm and were able to get ahold of Dr. Royster to guide us through the process. The staff listens, offers honest advice, and simplifies complex concepts. All of the nurses are wonderful, but my absolute favorite was Joyce! The kindest, most gentle, but realistic woman. She also has the best sense of humor! Choosing a fertility clinic is such a hard decision! I am so grateful I made the correct choice.

By the time my appointment finally arrived, I had already tested positive for an early pregnancy and informed Dr. Lin that I am going to see my OBGYN in a next few days during the of the consultation. Despite knowing I was positive, Dr. Lin recommended tests that were not appropriate for my situation. When I later questioned the testing, I was told the wrong tests had been ordered, and the responsibility was shifted to the nurse !!!!! The consultation felt robotic and disconnected from my actual medical condition. No clear guidance was provided regarding next steps, and I had to contact the clinic myself about a week later to cancel the treatment plan. They still billed my insurance for the consultation which their website does not show any cost for consultation fee. When I called to ask Michelle for details charge. she yelled at me and implied that I was at fault simply for attending the consultation!!!! From the doctor to the front office and the billing team, my experience showed me that the entire clinic lacks communication and coordination. The advertising to be misleading. Patients seeking fertility treatment are already under significant emotional stress. We deserve doctors who listen, evaluate their individual circumstances, and provide genuine medical guidance--not a scripted conversation followed by unexpected charges.

After graduating from the clinic today, I couldn't leave without writing this review…read more From day one, everyone at this clinic has been incredibly kind, compassionate, and supportive. Thank you so much to Dr. Elizabeth Dilday and Hannah Kim for taking such great care of me throughout my IVF journey.

I also want to thank everyone behind the scenes,the front desk staff, coordinators, phlebotomists, nurses, and every single person who helped along the way.

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.
