Postive pregnancy test

I can't thank Dr. Patricia Lee enough for what she has helped me, after 2 months of seeing her I am now confirmed pregnant!!! From day one, Dr. Lee took the time to understand my fertility journey, explained each step clearly, and made me feel supported and hopeful throughout. The treatments were always gentle, tailored to my needs, and I saw real improvements--not just in my cycle and hormones, but also in my sleep, stress levels, and overall well-being.the whole team genuinely cared about my progress, always listen, address my concerns and provide a calming environment that feels like a safe space every session. I would HIGHTLY recommend Dr.Lee to anyone who is trying to conceive or aiming for a healthy pregnancy! You would receive nothing but careing, professionalism, and expertise like I did!!! Go see her and thank me later !

Pregnant at last with the help of God's gift, Dr. Lee!
Charity A.

We are blessed because of your help Dr. Lee. Our prayers are with you & your family and we hold hope that God will heal and restore your body. Thank you for being so instrumental in giving us the best gift in the entire world, our sweet baby Cove. All our love, Charity & Drew

I've been trying to get pregnant for 17 years with no success. I started seeing infertility doctors 7 years ago and was told I had unexplained infertility. In September 2017 A friend recommended that I see Dr. Lee. I did and he diagnosed my condition right away (endometriosis) and told me to go back to my RE for other diagnostic tests. I was later diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis/adenomyosis, blocked Fallopian tubes and diminished ovarian reserve. I'm 37 years old and My RE said I had less than a 5% chance with IVF. It was pretty much impossible for me to get pregnant, with or without medical intervention. I saw Dr. Lee once a week for two months and I followed the diet and herbs he recommended. I am now 5 weeks pregnant, and it happened naturally! Dr. Lee is amazing and I am forever grateful for his knowledge and expertise. I now believe in miracles. If you've been told it's impossible to get pregnant, I suggest seeing Dr. Lee before you give up. *UPDATE* My son is here! Thank you Dr Lee I am forever grateful!

My husband and I want to thank Dr. Lee from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the best gift possible--the gift of life. Prior to seeking treatment, my husband and I had been trying to conceive for three years before undergoing fertility tests and learning that my husband had low motility/poor sperm morphology and that I have endometriosis with one tube blocked and a very low egg count. Our fertility specialist at the time recommended undergoing a laparoscopy to remove the endometrial tissue and then attempt to conceive through IUI. We planned to move forward with this plan, but after researching further, discovered that an astounding number of couples with our exact fertility issues underwent laparoscopies, multiple rounds of IUI and IVF and still couldn't conceive. The statistics weren't in our favor and it forced us to reconsider our plan, to educate ourselves and look into alternative treatments. We then discovered that a significant number of couples who'd failed to conceive through western medicine turned to acupuncture as a last resort and within the year conceived naturally! The overwhelming number of success stories was all the encouragement we needed to seek a fertility acupuncturist, and when I came upon Dr. Lee's website and Yelp reviews, I was absolutely amazed at how many couples achieved pregnancy through his treatments. Walking into his office during that initial appointment and seeing all those pictures on the walls of expecting parents and couples holding their newborn babies was exactly what we needed. For the first time, we felt genuine hope. Hope that this was the path we needed to take. That it would eventually lead to our conceiving a child. Haste makes waste, as I read on Dr. Lee's website. So true. Patience is everything. Especially, when it comes to conceiving a healthy baby. There are no words that can adequately express just how grateful we are that we listened to our gut and received treatment from him in 2018. His work is truly inspirational and we're so thankful we had the opportunity to meet and work with such a phenomenal human being. My husband and I are extremely saddened to hear of his diagnosis. We were planning to visit and give him the happy news that we were expecting a baby boy, but when we called the office to schedule a visit, we learned he was on medical leave. We want him to know that though we stopped treatment due to finances, we sincerely believe that it was because of his treatments we were able to conceive naturally just three months later. Baby Adam is now six months old and very healthy. He sends his love, as do my husband and I. Much love, Dr. Lee. Our hearts are with you. Love, The Davies Family (Jennifer, Robby and Adam)

Our Miracle Baby! Thank you Dr. Lee
Amy D.

Dr. Lee helped us get pregnant naturally and stay pregnant after 4.5 years of infertility. Our baby boy is 10 days old, and our hearts have never been happier. I had 3 losses including an ectopic pregnancy, 5 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVF transfers with excellent grade embryos. Fortunately, a friend of mine recommended Dr. Lee, and he was our last hope. After 4 months of following his anti-inflammatory diet, taking daily herbs, and attending weekly acupuncture, I got pregnant naturally. We will forever be grateful to Dr. Lee who helped us achieve our dream of becoming parents. He was able to do what no other doctor could do. Thank you so much Dr. Lee.

37 weeks pregnant!

Dr Lee! She's here!!! Miss Cambria Amara-Faith joined us on 8-7-17 at 11:47pm 7lbs 6oz We could never thank you enough for helping us on our long, exhausting journey! Your dedication to your patients is amazing and we thank you again so much for our new angel. We will be in soon for more pictures

The Estrada Family! Thanks to Dr. Lee
VenniceJames S.

Dr.Lee made our dreams of becoming parents come true after almost 5 years of trying to conceive. He redid our infertility tests and found issues that three previous specialist did not find. He saved me from undergoing an unnecessary surgery that probably would have prevented me from getting pregnant. Even when he would have to give us unfavorable news he was always still positive and optimistic for us! I never found this kind of attitude or bed side manner with any other Western doctors! My husband and I listened to Dr.Lee and did everything he told us to do. The acupuncture also helped with my anxiety and depression that I had because of my infertility. After six months of treatments for myself and four months for my husband, We conceived a baby on my 40th birthday! I continued to see Dr.Lee for treatment through my second trimester. He left that decision up to me. Without the continued support and guidance of Dr.Lee we would not have our miracle child! He is a great Doctor but he's not your typical infertility specialist! His combination of Eastern and Western medicine is exceptional and truly made all the difference for us! PS, I also saw him after I had my son and he helped me increase my breastmilk supply with acupuncture treatments!

Last acupuncture appointment! 25 weeks pregnant.
Daniela F.

25 weeks pregnant today! Thanks to Dr. Daniel Lee. I am here today for my last appointment. My husband and I are so happy to be having our baby girl at age 41 for me and 40 for my hubby! We first tried naturally, and then tried 2 rounds of IUI at Kaiser. Those didn't work. Our doctor recommended IVF at that point. I also have PCOS. We decided to try Dr. Lee before moving ahead with expensive IVF treatment and we were thrilled to become pregnant on the first full cycle! My husband and I strongly recommend Dr. Lee. He and his staff are pleasant to work with and the office runs 100% on time. Daniela and Eric

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.

Dr. Lin has exceptional bedside manner and a real gift for explaining each step of the process thoroughly but in a way that is absorbable to anybody. He personally saw us at every single visit. All of the nurses and staff we encountered were equally kind and caring. We never had a long wait time and the office tried to accommodate our early appointment preference so I could make it to work almost each time. With every bump in the road, Dr. Lin provided alternative options and routes and never pressured us into any situation. With his help, we now have our rainbow baby in our arms. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Lin who sees you as a person and not just another number.

Today, we're blessed with our precious baby boy, who is almost 4 months old. A special shout out to Paula, Yaretzi, Ai, Lori, and especially Dr. James Lin. Paula is simply the best always incredibly responsive, on top of every detail, and quick to answer all of our questions while keeping us updated on lab work and results. Dr. Lin took the time to thoroughly explain every step, shared an incredible wealth of knowledge, and gave us complete confidence throughout the entire journey. The entire team made us feel welcomed, supported, and cared for every step of the way. After two unsuccessful IUI cycles, we moved on to IVF. We were blessed with just one embryo, and by God's grace, that one embryo became our beautiful son. Our journey was filled with uncertainty, hope, and perseverance, making him our little miracle. If you're struggling to conceive, we wholeheartedly recommend Dr. James Lin and the amazing team at Reproductive Fertility Center. They truly changed our lives, and we'll be forever grateful.

She never promised anything except that she is going to try her best based on the previous attempts with a different doctor and the results that was provided to her from the previous clinic. She changed the routine in order to give us the best outcome possible based on the knowledge that was given, and she even sat down after each procedure explaining what had happened, and what each results meant and the stages that it was undergoing. In the end, she had obtained more eggs ever compared to the previous doctors combined, and was able to get one successful embryos to be cultured and turned out to be normal after the testing Be honest with her, and if you believe there is something that is not fertility related, but medically related and share that with her because she is an honest and a person of integrity who will let you know the truth based on her knowledge. Then there was my coordinator I was assigned to, Annie, who was probably one of the best coordinators I have ever worked with throughout all my medical appointments inside and outside of fertility treatments. She would be very clear and concise on her method of communication and would always follow up if a due date was approaching and I had not finished my side of the homework. I really appreciate all that she has done from beginning to end with her communication and her sense of compassion, love, and care for myself, and I'm sure she does that with all of her patience. If I can give some feedback, I would say she deserves a high pay raise

While the facility itself looks clean and professional, my first impression was not positive. I came in simply hoping to learn more about IUI/IVF options before moving forward, but the experience left me feeling uncomfortable during the consultation because it seemed like the doctor was more focused on promoting IVF rather than fully discussing my situation and options. Additionally, I did not receive any results from the blood tests or ultrasound performed during my visit. Overall, not the level of service or clarity I was expecting for such an important and sensitive journey.

The office and staff were clearly overwhelmed by the number of patients they were seeing, which significantly impacted the quality of individual care. At one point, I waited over two hours. Before retrieval, I was told I had 17-20 follicles and that I had a great cycle. However, only two eggs were retrieved, and only one developed to the blastocyst stage. After the procedure, Dr. Hatch suggested that I likely have PCOS and said they needed to figure out what was wrong with my body and proceed with another cycle. I later consulted with two other fertility doctors, both of whom said I likely would have had a better outcome if the retrieval had been done on day 12 rather than day 15, as my follicles appeared to have atrophied. This process was a significant financial investment for us, and we paid entirely out of pocket without insurance. I was upset for months because I felt blamed for what was the practitioner's negligence, without any clear explanation from her of actually went wrong. I am now very conflicted about doing another cycle, as the entire experience was deeply traumatizing.

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.

If you're looking for a clinic that makes you feel at ease, welcomed, and genuinely valued, look no…read morefurther than RHWC. Dr. Rosencrantz and his exceptional staff are nothing short of a dream team. We initially started with two IUI cycles. Dr. Rosencrantz wisely advised that if we wanted a chance at two children, transitioning to IVF was our best path forward. Throughout the whole journey, we felt completely supported and never once pressured. When our first transfer resulted in a chemical pregnancy, Dr. Rosencrantz immediately pivoted--adjusting my protocol and running extra tests. He is truly dedicated to finding answers and solving problems, which sets this practice apart from so many others. RHWC offers a warm, boutique-style experience. As happy as I was to graduate, I was almost sad to be discharged! We will definitely be back when we're ready for baby #2. Extra special thanks to Cindy, Lorena, and Anne for taking such wonderful care of us during every visit, and to Carolina at the front desk for always being so sweet!

After reaching out, my initial appointment was abruptly canceled about a week in advance. I later discovered that what I believed to be a local office was actually a call center. At no point did anyone explain how their scheduling works, that offices operate independently, or that doctors are independent providers. I was eventually rescheduled at the Laguna Hills location. When I arrived, the receptionist was unfriendly and immediately informed me of a $99 consultation fee. I had no issue paying this fee, had it been disclosed beforehand--which it was not. When I raised this concern, I was told that the doctor I paid the consultation fee for would be the only doctor who could treat me if I moved forward. If our personalities or approach did not align, I would be required to pay an additional consultation fee to see another doctor. That is an unacceptable business practice. To make matters worse, I was told that the person responsible for explaining financing and costs would not be available for another day or two, meaning I could not even receive a proper quote during my visit. I intentionally carved time out of my busy schedule for what is a very emotional and important decision in my life, only to leave feeling frustrated, disappointed, and misled. I will not be returning to this facility or any of its affiliates, and I would strongly caution others to be very clear about fees, scheduling, and expectations before booking an appointment.
