He was compassionate, kind, respectful, very knowledgeable and his bedside manners were impeccable. I had a pleasure working with Heather and Mayra as a case manager and both ladies are so sweet and phenomenal. Marya is very responsive in responding to my calls and email. We got pregnant on the first try of iui and we had a healthy bouncing baby girl. I'll be forever grateful for this clinic, if it weren't for them, I don't think we will have this strong and lovely family. I'm currently going through them for baby number two. Ms Edessa has been such great help, she is sweet, empathy, and really love what she does. I will highly recommend this RSC, so far all the staff I've encountered are very professional and kind. If you have any question feel free to private manage me. Please don't give up, have hope, stay strong and go there with a positive attitude and energy. Good luck and baby dust to you all.

I do not recommend RSC. We spent months planning fertility treatment here, and too often the…read moreexperience made us feel like a cog in a huge machine rather than people going through something deeply personal. I want to be fair about the people who were good to us. Leslie on Dr. Eisman's team was great, and Dr. Eisman herself was kind. Yani in finance was also kind and ultimately helped us resolve a very stressful insurance situation. Unfortunately, those positive experiences were outweighed by the broader experience we had with the clinic. I was scheduled for an IUI at the beginning of the new year after months of planning. Our insurance changed, and just three days before my cycle, Stephanie in finance told us it would need to be delayed. I found the way she handled the situation incredibly callous. There seemed to be no understanding of what it means to someone going through fertility treatment to have a carefully planned cycle suddenly put in jeopardy days beforehand. I pushed back, worked through the issue, and was ultimately able to get insurance approval and make the cycle happen. Yani was kind and helped get things resolved, and I am grateful for that. But the amount of stress the situation caused immediately before my IUI was awful and completely unnecessary. Fertility treatment is stressful enough without having to fight to keep your cycle moving at the last minute. I became pregnant from that IUI and later miscarried. The care I received following my miscarriage was very poor. I felt disregarded, and there was a painful lack of emotional care and compassion at one of the most difficult moments of my life. That experience was ultimately what made us decide to leave. After the miscarriage, finding new care felt critical. We transferred to Collab Fertility and could not be more grateful that we did. The contrast in personalized attention, communication, and compassion has been extraordinary. I only wish we had made the change sooner.

We discovered Spring Fertility online and ultimately decided to move forward with Dr. Okeigwe as our provider. After reading the many positive reviews--and now having experienced their care firsthand--we have nothing but great things to say about the entire team. The journey was not easy, and we certainly faced our share of trials and tribulations. Although I often worried about whether it would work, Dr. Okeigwe consistently reassured me and expressed complete confidence that we would be able to achieve a successful pregnancy. I went through three rounds of IVF, and with each round she adjusted the approach, resulting in better outcomes every time. We ultimately needed two transfers, but they led to our baby boy, who is now seven weeks old. The team's confidence truly helped ease the anxiety I felt throughout the process. In addition to Dr. Okeigwe, my nurse, Megan--who worked closely with me from start to finish--was incredibly patient and supportive. I reached out to her on weeknights and weekends, and she always responded promptly and appropriately. She never made me feel uncomfortable or uninformed, no matter how big or small my questions were. The front desk staff was consistently kind, and the medical assistants who handled my blood draws were wonderful as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend Spring Fertility to any family member or friend because of the exceptional experience I had. Thank you for helping bring our miracle baby into the world!

It's been a few years now since I was a patient at Spring, and I want to share my terrible…read moreexperience at this clinic in hopes that it will be helpful to other people in my situation who are seeking compassionate and competent treatment. My spouse and I sought out Spring specifically because they like to position their clinics as experts in LGBTQ+ family planning, and claim to have expertise treating transgender and nonbinary people. My spouse is a nonbinary person on hormone replacement therapy, and it was extremely important to us to find a clinic and a doctor with some experience treating trans people. We were referred to Dr. Dovey as the clinic's "LGBTQ expert," and I went into my first consult with her having high hopes for a good experience. During that consult, Dr. Dovey misgendered my spouse every single time she referred to them. To give her credit where credit is due, she would correct herself, and then misgender them again two sentences later, correct herself, and so on and so forth. At the point at which someone misgenders you ten times in a row, you really start to wonder if they are even trying to get it right, especially when the person in question is supposed to be the organization's "LGBTQ expert." Dr. Dovey also proposed a lot of unnecessary measures with regards to my spouse, like stopping their hormone treatments to collect even more genetic materials from them (when they had already cryopreserved more than the recommended amount of reproductive materials prior to the beginning of their transition). Ultimately, it felt like Dr. Dovey didn't actually care about trans people, understanding trans experiences in medical settings, or my spouse's individual experience at the clinic. My spouse had a range of experiences with other staff at the clinic, from being gendered correctly to other people misgendering them. Not a particularly great sign from a place that is supposed to be "good" about trans issues! Even so, we might have tried to stick with Spring, but they also messed up pretty badly in another area. Like many people who wind up in fertility clinics, I have some chronic health conditions. Most of them are not genetic and are not genetically transmissible. However, I do have one very rare genetic mutation that results in lower bone density than the average person my age. IF my spouse were to be a carrier for the same very rare genetic mutation, it MIGHT cause a child of ours to experience a similar condition. I want to be clear that in my day-to-day life, this condition does not really affect me negatively and I have no reason to think about it unless I'm discussing my medical history. While we were in the initial steps of our process at Spring, Dr. Dovey and her staff repeatedly communicated to me that they would essentially require my spouse to have a very particular genetic test done (one so specific that my spouse's PCP could not order it and would have had to refer them to a genetic specialist to do so) to ensure that any potential embryos we created would not have this condition. The clinic refused to move forward with our process until my spouse got the testing done, and it really came across as "we don't want your potential child to turn out like YOU." Which, to be honest, felt insulting, gross, policing, and completely unnecessary. It really didn't feel like the clinic's business or call whether we chose to get the genetic testing done or not, but Spring absolutely made it their call. This is what really killed any chances of our working with Spring, and we just quietly dropped out of the process. Spring comes across as a clinic that cares a lot about its numbers and success rates, and a place that doesn't have a problem throwing up roadblocks for people whose health conditions might possibly impact how good their numbers look. For chronically ill and disabled people, this kind of vibe essentially sends the message "we don't care about you and we don't really want to treat you." At least, that's the way I felt after my experience at Spring. People and organizations can change, and I hope that in the years since I attempted to be a patient there, Dr. Dovey and Spring have improved. In fact, I know people who have had positive experiences with Dr. Dovey and Spring! However, based on my personal experience of this clinic, I can't recommend her as a practitioner or the clinic as a safe space for trans people or chronically ill and disabled people. If you belong to one of those groups, do your research, interview clinics and ask about their training and experience with these patient populations, and go from there -- but don't go to Spring.

I found Good Witch a month before I started my first egg retrieval cycle. I had never done acupuncture before, but read and heard that it helps with the IVF processs, and I was willing to try whatever at that point! At our first session, Dr. Tiffanie took the time to listen to my worries, get to know what was going on with my body, and prepare me for the needles. It was way less painful than I was expecting, and every other session from then on, I could hardly feel the needles going in. Mostly I saw the sessions as relaxing spa time- with the dim lighting, heating, and calming music, I usually took a little nap and then left feeling refreshed! My retrieval, fertilization, embryo growth, and transfer were all more successful than I was expecting. But that was not a surprise to Dr. Tiffanie. This lady gets results, people!! Day in and day out, she is helping women not only get pregnant, but maintain a healthy pregnancy and stay healthy themselves. Her focus is on you as the whole person- a body going through lots of hormonal changes and painful injections that needs some extra TLC, a mind spinning with worries and fears that needs soothing, a heart aching to be a mom that needs to be heard and supported. She is incredibly knowledgeable without being overbearing or judgemental. She is firm in her confidence without ignoring your worries. She KNOWS it will work out for you, until you believe it yourself. And she is a friend during a time of total uncertainty. Thank you thank you thank you Dr. Tiffanie- I will miss our sessions!

As a Black woman, seeking excellent healthcare has always been stressful. We are treated…read moredifferently, and I've always had to fight to get proper health care. At first, I was so nervous about this procedure because I hate needles, and I didn't know if I would be treated like a human being. I've wanted to freeze my eggs for a while because I haven't found my life partner yet. So, I wanted to make sure that I had options for my future. Thank you to everyone at Oakland Spring Fertility for giving me such a fantastic experience. But, I especially want to thank Dr. Okeigwe for guiding me through the process of freezing my eggs. She's a GEM, and it's so rare to find a Black fertility doctor. I was and still am ECSTATIC that she was my doctor! She took such great care of me, and I was informed every step of the way of who, what, where, and why of everything I needed to know. Dr. Okeigwe even helped me heal a trigger. I had an abortion when I was 20 years old, and unfortunately, the doctor and nurses treated me like an animal and pinned me down while they did the procedure. So from there on, every time I went to an OBGYN and put my legs up, I would go into shock from that experience. I never thought that trigger was going to be healed. But, because Dr. Okeigwe listened to my story, answered all my questions, and equipped me with all of my options, the trigger began to go away. It got to the point where I would come in for a check-up, and we would laugh, and before I knew it, I was already lying down, looking up at all of my eggs progressing. This is why representation matters, and I know for a fact that I would not have received a better experience anywhere else. Give this woman a raise and hire more diverse fertility doctors!

I thought the doctors were good and thorough and new what they were talking about but no one else…read moredid. They also would not tailor the experience to you. For example- i did not need a bunch of the genetic tests but not inly did I have to have them done but dine with a specific company. I also had to speak with a specific therapist they contracted with which screams kick back to me and was really expensive. There are alot of ways to have therapy and I would not be surprised if many people with fertility concerns already have a therapist. Similarly I work at a hospital and do not need training on how to use a needle but there is a required course on it. The biggest issue I had was no one but the doctors new the plan. So when you call in for refills they may be reading off an algorithm and have no idea what you need and do not need. I transferred care to a different fertility clinic and had a much better experience and they also had all sorts of discounts for self pay patients, would have as much done by your insurance as possible ( like having an in network person order your labs or do your ultrasounds) and since it was a larger location they were doing alot of research. Once again the doctors are great but the rest of the team and/or the algorithm they use to treat you was not.
