Aimee Eyvazzadeh

We had been in the trying game with multiple doctors for several years, and Dr. Aimee hands down is the most amazing doctor we ever could have asked for - she literally has changed our lives forever (in the most wonderful way). We came to Dr. Aimee with a huge list of documentation outlining our long history of failed IVF/IUI cycles, miscarriage results, and other various tests. Immediately she dug deep deep into our story (this must have taken a few hours for her to read through!) and did two really important things. First she connected the dots between all my past experiences and highlighted the potential issues that may have been previously missed or not tested for. Secondly, she read past our list of procedures and let us know how much she understood how difficult this journey has been for us - that she understood that each procedure and each opportunity we have to try for a baby was precious and not something to be taken for granted. She assured us that every detail was being well thought through and everything in our plans was bespoke to our history and goals. I always thought egg retrieval protocols were pretty much copy-paste every time, but I learned from Dr. Aimee that this is not so. After reading through my previous protocols from other doctors, she prescribed HGH and was thoughtful about the amount of Menopur/Gonal F. She also was particularly careful about the timing for the trigger shot, as I had a history of ovulating before the retrievals. We eventually made two beautiful embryos. As someone with DOR, this really felt like a miracle from heaven. My previous doctors missed that I had uterine septum, which likely caused my miscarriage. Dr. Aimee noticed it during my first visit with an ultrasound and had me confirm it with a 3D ultrasound. Dr. Aimee also did an ERA test for me, which later helped us identify a uterine polyp, which causes inflammation, making implantation difficult for embryos. She set me up to get a hysteroscopy to solve both issues with another colleague. I then did an embryo transfer and the little embryo took! With Dr. Aimee, there is no such thing as unexplained infertility - this is just a call to find more facts or re-examine the pieces a little deeper. We had many painful twists and turns in our story, but by the time we did the embryo transfer, we were confident we had done every test and procedure possible for the best possible chance of success. Here we are now, ten weeks pregnant, with our first baby girl! We are just so incredibly grateful to know Dr. Aimee, for her experience, creativity, curiosity, and genuine kindness. I can't say this enough - she's just the best!

Feel free to talk anything out with her! She explains things very clearly and always takes the time to address your questions.

As someone with DOR and a history of low egg quality, Dr. Aimee added HGH to my protocols, which I think played a big role in the egg maturation process. She also was very strategic in the timing of my trigger shot before the retrievals.

If I remember correctly, Dr. Aimee's procedures do cost a bit more than the same procedures at other local clinics. She seems to be intentional in limiting how many patients she takes on, and does not run an IVF factory like how it has felt in other locations. To me, she was totally worth it.

Dr. Aimee is just naturally a caring and compassionate individual. She is personable and easy to talk to. She has a great ‘bedside’ manner. Even with a busy practice, it feels as if she takes the time to allow each patient to be heard and assured. I was impressed that Dr. Aimee made it a point to stay up-to-date on all the latest advances in the field of fertility. Her broad scope of knowledge allowed her the ability see a wider range of options for approaching our infertility issues than might have occurred to a less well-informed physician. I was also appreciative of the fact that she invested in the newest and best technical equipment (ultrasound machines). The process of seeking help with fertility issues is difficult and Dr. Aimee is well aware that a bright smile and a bit of humor goes a long way toward making the process easier. It was in meeting Dr. Aimee that we first felt like we had hope.

My advice to prospective patients would be to really stay on top of things. By that I mean take a very active role in the process and don’t sit back and wait to be told what to do next. Do the research and ask questions. Be proactive and be your own advocate. It isn’t necessary to be pushy or aggressive – just alert, interested and informed. It is your life, your money and your future – be a part of the process. From my point of view, Dr. Aimee seems to be very much on-board with this perspective. Fertility treatment is a partnership. This is an intense and expensive enterprise that requires that all involved participate and do their part. Doctor, patient, and clinic staff are all in this together in order for this to be a partnership that works. Maintaining a respectful working relationship is a must. Dr. Aimee has an efficient and very well-trained staff who are calm, courteous and inviting. Often it is necessary for the patient to contact the clinic staff to check that tests have been submitted and paperwork received. Dr. Aimee has many patients and it is possible for test results to go array – as they did in my case. Because I had a respectful relationship with the staff, the issue was immediately remediated. Trust was maintained between the clinic and the patient. Dr. Aimee encourages the open lines of communication as it helps the clinic perform the tasks needed for the fertility process to be a successful endeavor.

My IVF protocol was 4 Menopur vials and 225 Gonal-F every night. HGH every other night. Cetrotide starting on days 5-12. I also took CoQ10 and prenatal vitamins. I had a good egg count for both retrievals. We now have several good quality and PGS tested embryos. When we started with Dr. Aimee we fell into the “unexplained infertility” category. We were planning on transferring after the first egg retrieval and thus went forward with a mock transfer and two tests – ERA and Receptiva DX. The Receptiva DX test results came back saying I most likely have endometriosis. After that, Dr. Aimee suggested I have another HSG test which revealed that one of my tubes was blocked which was a different result compared to my first HSG several years ago. Dr. Aimee suggested surgery instead of medications due to the blocked tube. I have since met with a surgeon who agreed with the diagnosis. Unfortunately, my surgery had to be rescheduled due to Covid-19.

Slightly above the first clinic we went to, but worth the money. Our insurance does not cover infertility treatments so it didn't matter that Dr. Aimee doesn't take insurance.

We haven’t had this conversation yet with Dr. Aimee. We are waiting until after my surgery to discuss transfer.

Dr. Aimee is amazing. She's very smart and knowledgable and you can really get a sense of her passion and wanting to help you achieve your goals. She'll take the time to listen to you and address any concerns you might have AND give you time to think things over if she senses its something you are not comfortable with. Ultimately if you aren't fully committed, she will go back to the drawing board with you and come up with something else. If she doesn't have the answer, she will be truthful and ask for time so she can look more into it. Some people might be put off by her being direct but it's a plus to me--she will not sugar coat things. If there is not enough time during your appointment (rarely happens) but she will follow up later via phone or email. I have had times I don't quite comprehend, so walk out of my appointment confused--the fertility journey is very overwhelming and can be clouded with so much information. Those instances, I'd email her 20 questions she will answer ALL of them. Too much to email? She will ask if she can call to make it easier. One way or another she answers your questions, and if urgent, she will even answer via email in the middle of the night. During some of my toughest moments she has really been amazing, encouraging, and truthful. The results weren't something either of us had hoped for, but I really felt her desire to help me every step of the way.

Hear her out, and most importantly voice your opinion if it doesn't feel right. Express any and all of your concerns and she will help you understand better. Even if you feel she isn't listening to you, tell her that. She really is someone who is willing to listen and not force her treatment plans on you. You can't expect her to guess what you are thinking--just like all doctors she's seeing many patients every day 7 days a week! There is no such thing as a one size fits all protocol for her and I couldn't agree more! She communicates by email a lot so if this isn't your style it might take getting some used to. I personally loved it because I was always able to reach her--only exception is when she's in the middle of a procedure. Not everyone will connect with each other the same way, and it is okay to walk away if it doesn't feel right.

I don't remember my overall strategies as my last few years have kind of blurred together. This journey has been so rough on us, and we took a much needed break since our ectopic July 2019 because we couldn't handle it emotionally, physically, and financially. When we came to Dr. Aimee, we had miscarried twins at 10 weeks, and gone through 2 rounds of clomid and 8 rounds of IUI's. She took the time to look over our history had us repeat some tests that needed to be updated. Then she felt she wanted to try IUI's first. we told her our concern that we didn't mind trying IUI but we were financially strapped. We didn't want to continue waste $ on IUI's. She suggested trying a few first so she can see how my body responds but if we were truly over doing IUI's she would understand. However, if it was due to finances, she really wanted us to try. She would help us out by applying our IUI costs to our IVF cycle if we had to move on to IVF. Onto trying IUIs and to save even more money , we adjusted my cycle to use leftover medication I had from previous rounds. After 3 IUI's, each cycle showed at least 2-3 viable follicles but no pregnancy, we moved onto IVF. My first cycle, was cancelled because after 10 days of injections my body just wasn't responding as she had hoped. It was a strange because i responded much better during my IUI cycles. Then come just one month after my cancelled cycle, I hit some health problems that might be my body rejecting and not responding to my first IVF cycle. After discussing back and forth with Dr. Aimee we both reached a consensus that I should take a break to really let me body heal. After almost 8 months, I was able to go back and give IVF another shot. From my email my protocol was: gonal F/menopur/cetrotide/hch. We took this approach to try to get as many follicles as possible with increased egg quality. We saw about 15 follicles, retrieved 8 mature eggs, 4 fertilized (ICIS), 2 made it to blast, but just 1normal PGS. My husband's male factor fertility was never a concern--he produced healthy numbers EVERY IUI (we had success but miscarried with IUI), and based on 2 sperm analysis by 2 different clinics everything came out normal. Through this cycle we were hit with the realization that there were binding issues. We were devastated. Dr. Aimee assured us she still had a lot of confidence and we would move forward after doing an ERA. This will help her get as close as possible to the correct time and placement since we only have 1 shot with 5AB blast. Transfer day came and gone, and then the dreaded wait. We were cautiously pregnant after our first beta, then came the subsequent betas that showed it doubling, then it didn't... then exactly as she suspected based off of that one beta test--it was an ectopic. We were devastated! Another loss and such a huge hit financially, physically and emotionally. This is the first time I've recalled this memory since our loss June 1, 2019. It was so painful but Dr. Aimee stayed with us until we needed a break. She truly has been amazing through all of this and didn't just leave us when we decided we couldn't afford to go on emotionally and financially.

For one cycle of IVF (with ICIS and PGS testing) $23,120--this did not include embryo storage fees or medications. Their fee schedule is very detailed and straight forward. There were no hidden costs. If another procedure was suggested, all fees associated with that said procedure would be discussed and agreed on before hand.

Dr Aimee was incredibly supportive and communicative throughout our time under her care. I was very surprised that she even took it upon herself to draw my blood during the course of my treatment. She was always very forthcoming and available to answer questions and assuage any of my concerns or fears. She was exactly the Dr I needed after my first experience working with another fertility clinic. I can't say enough about Dr Aimee's positivity throughout both my IUI and IVF cycles. Even though both procedures had disappointing outcomes, I still walked away feeling hopeful that it could still happen. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have been a patient of Dr Aimee.

I think it's important to be honest with yourself and know exactly what you want and what you're capable of during fertility treatment. I knew that I only wanted to attempt IVF using my own eggs and Dr Aimee was respectful of my choice and was behind me and my eggs all the way and that meant everything to me. All I wanted was to have a Dr support my decision and do everything they could with what resources they had to make that a possibility and to believe in my choice. Dr Aimee still discussed alternative treatment options but also stated we could go back and revisit those options if and when I would be ready. You have to be your own biggest advocate and hope that your Dr will also stand behind your decision and also be a part of your team. Dr Aimee is all about getting behind what the patient feels is right for them and completely go full speed ahead and attempt to make that happen!

My treatment protocol with Dr Aimee was as follows: I did do a Counsyl carrier screen just to make sure my husband and I didn't have any other issues that might be an issue in us getting pregnant. Dr Aimee also had me take the following supplements: • dhea 75mg (improve egg quality/it naturally converts to testosterone) • resveratrol 1000mg (preserving fertility) • acai berry 1000mg (super booster antioxidant) • Vitamin D 1000IUI • melatonin 1mg - to help sleep to let these drugs/hormones do their job (especially omintrope) I was also taking the following: • Prenatal vitamins • Extra 400 mg Folic Acid • CoQ10 Priming: with Omnitrop (HGH) 25 IU (8 injections spread throughout the course of treatment up until trigger) and Testosterone suppositories 2.5 mg (3 weeks) IVF Medication instructions: Femara 2.5 mg : CD1-5 Menopur 300 IU: CD3-7 Cetrotide 0.25 mg: CD5-9 Trigger: Ovidrel After retrieval: I started Estrace, progesterone (2mL), and Medrol (16mg)

For my IVF process the cost of treatment was: $21,450.00 Medication was approximately ~$2,600.00 -$3,000.00 The cost of an IUI was $1,200.00

Dr Aimee relayed the pros and cons for both single embryo transfer vs multiple embryo transfer. Ultimately, it was my decision knowing all the risks involved and I asked to transfer two embryos. There was one embryo that was graded at a lower quality than the other two and Dr Aimee suggested that I consider transferring all 3 embryos and see where that got us. I was receptive to the idea and we transferred all 3 Day 3 fresh embryos.

Dr. Aimee is an amazing doctor with great care for her patient. She is the most caring, committed, knowledgeable, & helpful fertility doctor one could ask for. She gives her total time and devotion to her patients & she always made me feel that she’s serving with every bit of her heart & soul. With her help, I am currently 2 months pregnant. I have had an wonderful experience with her and would highly recommend her to everyone.

Finding a good infertility doctor is not that easy. It involves spending valuable time and money and comes with lots of anxiety and uncertainty. The two most important things are the outcome and getting support when needed. I was a Kaiser patient before and suffered a lot. The doctors there didn’t seem to care about me, they only considered me as a number. Dr. Aimee is the opposite. Along with her great knowledge and expertise, she has great compassion and care.

Dr Aimee offered me a personalized care plan. When I first saw her after transferring from Kaiser, she immediately told me to remove a big cluster of cysts from my left ovary. She referred me to the best surgeon and the cysts were successfully removed. Then according to Dr Aimee’s suggestions, I had natural modified FET cycle. She recommended necessary medications based on my history to be successful with the PGT tested embryo transfer. She suggested low dose Femera to grow multiple eggs to enhance progesterone supply later on in early pregnancy (her target was 2, i grew 3 eggs). She suggested Medrol and also Lovenox shots. Her protocol seemed very personalized and effective

I did frozen embryo transfer, which costed around 8600$.

I only wanted single embryo transfer, never discussed multiple embryo transfer at any point.

Mine is an unusual situation as I sought out Dr Aimee, during COVID from New Zealand. I had seen Dr Aimee a lot on social media and thought she was the exactly the type of doctor I'd like to see- she did not disappoint. To be honest- I am a little bit obsessed with Dr Aimee! The first time I got in contact with Dr Aimee, I'd had a chemical pregnancy after a long build up to my second transfer. I emailed Dr Aimee's email address and expected a receptionist would get back to me within 24-48 hours (this was also a Friday morning in California). Literally within minutes Dr Aimee herself got back to me! We went back and forth on email for an hour discussing my case and I was blown away. I had never received close to treatment like this with my doctors in NZ. I quickly made an appointment and when I saw Dr Aimee she knew my case back to front and dispelled a number of false, demoralising truths I'd been told by my NZ doctors again. For the first time in a long time, I had hope again. From this point, I had another unsuccessful transfer (which Dr Aimee had prepped me for as a possibility). At this point I consulted with her again for a recommendation on an IVF protocol that I could implement in NZ. She suggested a low dose stim protocol which I admit I was quite nervous about. I responded with 6 follicles on the one ovary and again was nervous! However all follicles were tracking at the same size and I retrieved 6 eggs and 4 high graded day 5 embryos from 6 eggs! I found out on my 36th birthday and emailed Dr Aimee and she (of course) emailed back straight away. If you are struggling with your current doctors, if you need an empathetic, innovative and realistic doctor- do not hesitate to see Dr Aimee. I just wished I could see her for all my treatment in California.

You are in the best hands possible.

As I have low AMH (around 0.7) Dr Aimee put me on her 'mini IVF' plan. From Days 1-4 (approx) I took 10mg of Letrozole and started stims (300 IUI) Menopur on day 3. I also had a baseline scan that day, followed up by another one on Day 7. Dr Aimee had also recommended HGH but this was hard to procure in NZ so I went without. Our resulting 4 embryos are currently being PGS tested.

My consults were I believe around $350 US for the initial consult (not 100% on that one, it was expensive) and then $110 US for follow ups. Please note Dr Aimee goes above and beyond outside these appointments- I have asked her many random questions via email and she ALWAYS gets back to me, no charge. I consider her excellent value.

Dr Aimee has actually discussed the possibility of transferring 2 PGS embryos in my situation (2x failed PGS SET at 35 and under).

Dr. Aimee is an expert in the fertility world, if you are struggling or just want a second opinion I definitely recommend having a conversation with her. Her analysis of your lab work is thorough and she takes time to talk to you about things that other Doctors may breeze over.

Come prepared with questions, but realize she may answer those for you in conversation before you ask.

I am having a HSG done (my first clinic didn't order that for me prior to IUI & IVF), then I am doing a timed intercourse (Letrozole) w/ HSG per Dr. Aimee's recommendation and my desires.

$675 for new patient consult, $30 blood work.

During the initial consult, Dr. Aimee was very thorough in her review of my profile and previous tests, as she was the 2nd doctor we visited for fertility issues. As she weaponized us with all the information, she was able to put her "friend" hat on and help guide us with our decision making, as fertility options and understanding the "right next step" can be overwhelming. She followed-up our appointment with an email summarizing next steps and what to expect, even laying out our action plan on a calendar, so that we were all aligned. I had a few follow-up appointments to run additional testing (i.e. draw blood) and was surprised that Dr. Aimee was the one to administer this. There were a few hiccups in our action plan due to mother nature and COVID-19 and Dr. Aimee remained in constant communication (phone/email). As mentioned in other reviews, Dr. Aimee is incredibly quick to respond via email. My only gripe is that Dr. Aimee can almost be *too quick* to respond and miss a few points that was mentioned in a previous email or not be as clear as intended. I found myself re-reading some emails multiple times to make sure I understood/was on the same page. I will note that any time I needed additional clarification, Dr. Aimee was extremely patient and understanding to walk me through scenarios again.

Dr. Aimee is amazing and passionate about at what she does. I would check out her podcast "Egg Whisperer" as this helped me really prep for what to expect during my journey.

I have a low AMH (0.37), 33 years-old, and looking to start our family. We decided that the best course of action was IVF. I was going to start Omnitrope (2x/week) and Progesterone (after ovulation) but due to COVID-19, I decided to pause given the unknown of everything.

Consultation ~$700 (don't recall the exact price). Medications thus far have been covered by insurance.

I booked a record review with Dr Aimee at a time when I had put treatments on hold because i knew i had health issues and was scared to do another transfer and have it fail again. She gave me direction when I was directionless and her consult was the best money we had spent on our fertility journey. I had been to so many doctors trying to get answers and Dr Aimee was the first person to address that I likely had endometriosis. She also reviewed my prior HSG films and concluded that there was something wrong with one of my tubes despite radiologists and other REs saying it was ok - this was confirmed via surgery. She is honest and wants what is best for her patients. She told me it was better not to transfer my frozen embryos if I didn't have to and researched via her contacts, which Dr at my current clinic would be a better match for me. She is up to date on the latest research and passionate about infertility education. I joke with my husband that Dr. Aimee is superhuman, I have sent her so many emails and she is lightening fast at replying.

Do not hesitate - go and see her! Even if you don't live near her, get a record review because she believes that there is no such thing as unexplained infertility just that it hasn't been explored thoroughly enough. I am still on my fertility journey but just having my diagnosis and treating it has improved my quality of life which i will be forever thankful for.

I knew i had polyps that needed to be removed so Dr Aimee performed surgery for this and coordinated an ERA test and ReceptivaDx test for the same time. She created a protocol for a frozen embryo transfer that my clinic in Los Angeles was able to follow and we had our first ever implantation. We ended up losing the pregnancy for other reasons but getting further than we even had before was a major step!

My surgery was covered by insurance after deductibles. Testing prices were standard. The consult was on the more expensive side but worth every penny because of how thoroughly she reviews your records.

We had a euploid embryo available so she recommended transferring one.

I have met with a total of 5 fertility doctors. Dr. Aimee was by far the best one of them. Not only did she have great bedside manner, she provided tips for success (not only focused on money), is knowledgable about her work, provides personalized guidance and was readily available to answer questions and provide guidance. While I have not yet completed full treatments with her just yet, I have no doubt she would put every effort into doing everything she could to bring success.

She is definitely worth a consultation. While her fees are not cheap, they are well worth every penny.

Sadly, due to COVID-19 I haven't been able to actually meet Dr. Aimee in person but we have been communicating via, video, email and phone. Her responsiveness is one of the main reasons we selected her for our IVF journey. She was willing to review my husband labs and have multiple conversations with us via email, without even being a patient. This speaks volumes because she genuinely cares about your situation, when other IVF clinics wouldn't even talk to us without being a patient. She has been the best doctor we have spoken to. She explains everything in detail and is accommodating to your situation. She has a warm personally and makes you feel comfortable during this journey. My only gripe is that she's above average in price but I rather pay for that 1:1 attention to detail then feel like another number at another clinic. She did recently mistake me for another client which made me feel a little uneasy but she's human and entitled to mistakes, just as long as she doesn't do that in the operating room! lol.

Dr. Aimee is above average in price but she's worth it. IVF+ICSI+PICSI+PGT-A+FET total cost for 1 round is $27,000 without medications.

Dr. Aimee is an expert in the fertility world, if you are struggling or just want a second opinion I definitely recommend having a conversation with her. Her analysis of your lab work is thorough and she takes time to talk to you about things that other Doctors may breeze over.

On the night of our D&C (first clinic), my husband emailed Dr.Aimee basically as an SOS because we were at our lowest point. We had actually worked with Dr.Aimee prior, doing timed intercourse and IUI. After 4 years of going through rounds of treatment, we lost our baby at 7 weeks. She emailed back right away and we sent her all our records. She had a consult with us, I honestly think it was within a week. She explained to us what she would do differently and what she thinks went wrong. We took a 3-month break after our miscarriage and then jumped into round 2 of IVF but this time with her. Hindsight is always 20/20 but if I could go back in time, I would have started IVF with her regardless of the money. My second round of IVF was the smoothest, least stressful out of the whole journey. My first round had so much unneeded stress just waiting by the phone constantly since I would be seen by the nurses but had to wait for the doctor to call me with med updates. Whereas the 2nd round Dr.Aimee did ALL my appointments and when I left her office, I knew exactly where we stood. I also knew what meds to take and the dosages, which helped a lot. She also monitored me almost every day so that I didn’t overstimulate as I did with my first clinic in the first round. For my appointments, I was in and out. Dr.Aimee is a well-oiled machine and totally gets your time is valuable. There was even one day where she came in at 6:30 am just to do my monitoring appointment because I couldn't do it later in the day due to meetings. She really does work with you. She also unlike any other doctor listened to me, and if she thought something didn’t make sense for me she explained why instead of just saying no. I even had a question about my trigger shot, called her directly at 7 pm and she happily walked me through the whole thing. She really cares and has such a hands-on approach, I can’t say enough good things about her! The lab at RSC is Incredible and the egg retrieval was done by Dr. Aimee (imagine a world). I expected once we got pregnant, that would stop but it didn’t. She let me come in every few weeks to check on the baby until we graduated at 11 weeks because my anxiety was so high, pregnancy after loss brings all its own worries. I have no idea how she does it but I am so glad she does. She really is a superwoman and such a huge blessing to this community. I have lots of friends from my support group who have also had success with her. The main reason, we went with her for the second round is they kept telling me she is well worth the money, and I 100% agree with that. Thank you, Dr.Aimee, for helping make our dreams come true. We are currently 16 weeks pregnant with a beautiful baby girl! We can never thank her enough!

She is 100000000% worth the money!

We talked about transferring two embryos and all the risks associated with that. Ultimately, we ended up transferring just one embryo since they were graded a 5AB.

Dr. Aimee is an exceptional doctor, my husband and I cannot express enough our gratitude for her help in our journey through infertility. She didn’t only treat my infertility and allowed me to have a successful pregnancy, but she made the infertility journey with her funny and hopeful. In the past two years and half, my husband and I have sought the advice of many infertility specialists and clinics in Boston MA. Despite their credentials and good intentions, our journey with them has always been difficult: exhausting bureaucracy, long waiting times, and the overall perception of being just “another patient”. Last year we moved to the Bay Area, and after a few months we got in contact with Dr. Aimee and her team. From the very beginning, both my husband and I have been completely blown away by her expertise, her dedication to the profession and the patients. She was involved at every step of the process (she even took the time to draw some blood for the routine tests, and let me tell you, it was the quickest and swiftest blood draw I have ever experienced!). Dr. Aimee and her team are incredibly responsive and flexible (flexible appointment times, and very quick response to our emails), which allowed us to accomplish more in 6 months during a pandemic than 2 years with a top infertility clinic in Boston.

Trust her completely.

My husband and I were not comfortable with IVF, for personal reasons. Dr. Aimee helped us plan a set of treatments of increasing complexity. We started with timed intercourse, then IUI with Femera (2 cycles, with different dosage of medications). As a back plan, we also discussed the possibility of embryo adoption.

The IUI cycles were approximately $1300 each. Ultrasounds $100-$350 (before and during pregnancy). Blood tests and the cost of medication was low (depending also on insurance coverage).

Dr. Aimee was ready to discuss these different options with us, however we were not interested at the time. We wish point out that Dr. Aimee's social accounts contain a wealth of educational material on these techniques (as well as on other topics).

During my consultation with Dr. Aimee she was quick to make sure my husband and I were comfortable. I had a folder of unorganized medical records that we picked through to put together a snapshot of my crazy medical history. She did not make me feel bad about being unorganized but instead dedicated an hour of her time sorting through the chaos. After we had a good idea of the journey that lead me to her office it was time for the dreaded physical exam. I always hate this part of the appointments but unfortunately am used to it, especially when first meeting new doctors. Dr. Aimee made it such a comfortable experience for me, and even more so she made me comfortable with what she was seeing on the sonogram. Taking the time to point out what was what on the screen of black and grey mess. It helped me understand the importance of these exams. After the exam, I was able to redress and return to her office so we could talk without the uncomfortable nakedness on the exam room table conversation. It was great. She gave her professional opinion and options to move forward. My husband and I left with a weight lifted off of our shoulders, it was the first time in this long infertility journey we had ever felt that way.

Do not hesitate to schedule an appointment. She gave us such a clear path and even better a start to a conversation about moving forward in our journey.

Although I do not recall exactly what treatment strategies she went over, because there were several as she provided us options. I do remember her TUSHY method, first checking tubes, then uterus, sperm, hormones, and then your genetic profile. She also explained how many eggs she would like to retrieve in order to give us the best chance for the number of children we would potentially like to have. It gave us a lot of insight into where we needed to go from here.

I do not recall the costs associated with my care. I do remember a consultation fee that was worth every penny.

I'm a 50 year old who just had a healthy baby boy, my second child, under Dr. Aimee's care. Dr. Aimee has a sense of urgency and an "all hands on deck" attitude, never above anything. She didn't underestimate me like other doctors. She listened, she was respectful, she was realistic about my options, yet was never insulting, condescending or offensive. She was personally and immediately responded to my emails, she got down and dirty to draw blood if a nurse wasn't present, she made sure that my meds were taken care of and that no stone was left unturned. She made herself available, she is compassionate, positive, funny and candid. She was always helpful with referrals, unlike many other doctors. If she didn't like something (like my blood work for my thyroid), she took immediate action. She got things done in a way that I've never seen a doctor get done and never accepted mediocrity. With her tenacity and get-things-done approach, she really should be running the country! She made the impossible, possible with me and my family.

Her office doesn't accept insurance, so be prepared financially.

Dr. Aimee respected my wish to use my own eggs for IVF as well as try IUI. Ultimately, those methods failed.

20K for egg donor + testing 5K for Dr. Aimee 1K for drugs

We started going to Dr Aimee in 2017. We had tried for 2 years previously with UCSF’s Center for Reproductive Health and had gotten nowhere...just endless attempts with no investigation on why nothing was working. Then, we started with Dr Aimee in November and were successfully carrying a baby 4 months later! I can’t tell you what she did for us. Not only did she bring hope alive again for us, she healed our battered emotional state and dove headfirst into solving the “why” question for us. Her supernatural ability to return emails to you PERSONALLY and usually within 10 mins is almost not human, but one of my most favorite things about her. She is absolutely the smartest, most passionate, most empathetic and talented physician I have ever worked with and I don’t think I will ever be able to express my gratitude to her. I don’t think we would have our first baby and another on the way if we didn’t find her. I would have given up. Infertility is a brutal process and I almost didn’t have the strength for it, so thank goodness we found her. I truly believe that if there is any way in this world for you to have a baby, Dr Aimee will find out how. If there is any doubt in your mind, just email her! Haha, but seriously, just meet with her and you will be able to tell instantly...she’s not like the rest!!!

Hang in there! There’s a plaque in the office that states “Stay Calm and Email Dr Aimee.” That about sums it up!!

she is very knowledgeable, straight forward and accommodated my early morning request for appointments. she provided options and insight into the best plan for treatment. she is very responsive to emails.

ask about the total cost breakdown for all potential charges

for the 2nd egg retric cycle i did 6 weeks of 25 HGH priming, twice a week on tuesdays and fridays. on the start of cycle day 2 i took 4 menapur and 150 gonal-f for 10 days. gonal-f was increased to 225 on day 5. HGH continued on day 1 every other day until day 9 and every day until trigger day. cetrotide was included starting on day 6 until trigger day. i used additional stimms during the second round because my ovaries were not as quick to respond as my initial egg retrieval. baseline ultrasound d and blood test on cycle day 2, day 5, day 7, day 9, and day 11.

professional fees, dr visits for ultrasound and lab tests, sperm prep, disposables, egg retrieval, ivf lab procedures, ICSI/PICSI, embryo biopsy, assured hatching, embryo cryopreservation, genetic testing, anesthesia, meds, mock transfer

my husband and i prefer to do east to avoid the chance of multiples

Dr. Aimee is brilliant and confident. She puts me at ease and I trust her completely. She always takes the time to answer my questions and thoroughly explain the process. I think her approach is the right balance of safe and aggressive for me. I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends or family members who needed fertility help.

Go see her, don't waste your time on anyone else. I wasted months with a doctor who made mistakes and didn't have a comprehensive treatment plan. Don't waste time. Dr. Aimee is the best and she will help you.

I have PCOS. Dr. Aimee started with comprehensive testing to make sure there weren't any other issues, and our genetic testing did reveal a risk for neural tube defects, so I have been taking folate supplements to be safe. Most of my cycles with Dr. Aimee have been using hormones and trigger shots to induce ovulation and then IUI. Unfortunately, I haven't had success yet, so we are moving to IVF.

IUIs are typically about $1300 and IVF cycle is about $27,000

We are using eSET at her recommendation and I trust her.

Honest, funny and gives us positivity thought our treatment. She's personable and welcoming. We saw her every time we were in the office, she even drew our blood many times. Always answers questions and tells us o ask her rather than Google, she is always willing to spend the time with you.

Ask questions don't be afraid. She wants to make that clear and always states that in her emails. She has a podcast, which helps to know her proceptive on treatment and her philosophies. Know that she really does care and will always keep you informed no matter what time of night it is.

Different protocol each IVF, 2nd cycle added HGH pre-IVF to help with quality. Gives you supplements that are recommended, emails you all your levels. A higher dose of a trigger shot prior to 1st IVF, willing to change things won't stick to the exact same treatment and we saw better results!

Costs included all medical procedures except medications.

PGS tested, recommends only 1 egg.

I was referred to Dr. Aimee by fellow coworkers. I was hesitant at first because she is private pay and as well all know, IVF isn’t cheap. The second I met her, I knew I had fallen into the right hands and didn’t have to look for another dr. She explained the process and recommended everything I needed to do without feeling like I was rushed into IVF. She gave us hope. Which is something that feels like it gets ripped out of our hands dealing with infertility. I remember her asking me how many kids I wanted and told me “ well, then let’s do it! You WILL have children and a family we just now have to put our plan to work. It put such ease on my husband and I and to this day we trust this process because of her and know that no matter what, we are in great hands.

One piece of advice is to just take the cost of going to her for treatment into consideration. She is expensive, but I never felt like I’m not getting my money’s worth. So trust her, ask questions, and just know that one way or another she will do everything she can to make you a parent one way or another. She never closes the door on that and I love her for that

I was diagnosed with recurrent miscarriages and DOR. My first protocol we did 300 of Menopur with priming with HGH a month before ( 25 units biweekly) and then every other day during stims. Half way in we added 300 Gonal F then cetrotide at the end with an HGC trigger. We retrieved 8 eggs, 7 mature, 5 fertilized, 3 made it to blastocysts and we sent them for PGS testing and one came back normal. We did a second cycle to bank more before transfer. This 2nd cycle we used Gonal F 225 and menopur 300 from the start, same use of HGH and added Dexamethasone. We got 6 eggs, 2 fertilized and both came back PGS normal. We are in middle of mock cycle and hope to transfer next month

Like mentioned earlier, she is not the most affordable around. I do wish she would work with insurances because it would have helped out with a small amount of the costs. 1 rounds costs close to 20 grand and that’s not including meds which was about another 2-3k for me. Plus that price doesn’t include the FET. So I still have that to pay.

No comment about that

Dr. Aimee is a fertility doctor with heart and soul. I lovingly refer to her as the "Lady Gaga" of Fertility Docs - because she is a rockstar when it comes to fertility care and treatment (and I've seen many top docs in the area)! There's no one like her. My husband and I came to her when we were drowning in questions and concerns about our fertility, and left feeling reassured and confident that we will one day have the family we're hoping and praying for. I respect her so much. She is an advocate for better education in reproductive health to all women, and just as importantly, she is an advocate and cheerleader to her patients. Although our journey is not complete, Dr. Aimee continues to remain at our side offering sage advice and invaluable support. I've never met another doctor like Dr. Aimee. She is an excellent doc, a superb human.

Don't hold back your questions or concerns - Dr. Aimee will address every single one with wisdom and grace.

IUI included Femara and Progesterone suppositories. We increased Femara dosage after each unsuccessful attempt, to try stimulating more follicles.

Dr. Aimee is really passionate about fertility. She has a Youtube channel where she provides a lot of very helpful advice to the general public, and being a person with PCOS, her PCOS video is one of the more informative ones out there. She approaches the treatment plans in a very positive, hopeful but also scientific and factual way. I am still going through my treatment plans (2nd IUI cycle) so I can't offer any experience with success rates, but I am very confident I am in good hands!

If you are thinking of seeing a fertility specialist, check out her Youtube channel (Egg Whisperer)...it's one way to get free, valuable information on fertility treatments and to see if you might like working with her. She runs a successful practice but it's also a personable, small operation...meaning she is the only doctor and she knows/sees every patient. She responds to emails very quickly and welcomes open communication. You don't get that at the big clinics.

My husband and I had been trying for about a year. All tests are good, except I have PCOS. Dr. Aimee further analyzed my thyroid and hemoglobin tests and prescribed Metformin, Dex and synthroid to help with my hormone imbalances (in addition to Femara). We did one cycle of IUI recently. (Ovulation was successful but no pregnancy.) We are moving to second cycle. Medication was tweeked a little bit.

Initial consultation was $775, which includes ultrasound/monitoring through the month as needed. IUI cycle is $1,300. Medication is separate; my insurance covers the prescription, so I ended up paying $20-30 or so for meds...but this is between you & the pharmacy/insurance (not Dr. Aimee's clinic). I also spend about $100 a month on supplements (prenatal vitamins and other supplements good for PCOS)

Going to Dr. Aimee was the best decision my husband and I could have possibly made in our infertility journey. Infertility is so hard and stressful already, you shouldn’t also have to deal with a Dr. or clinic that is adding to the problem. From the moment we met Dr. Aimee I felt stress lift off my shoulders. She is kind and compassionate, funny, and she knows her stuff. Dr. Aimee also really does take your ideas into consideration with treatment, but she’s also not afraid to say no, we aren’t going to do that and here is why. She explains everything. I am a nightmare patient I am sure. I need to know every single thing in detail and I google and read forums and read medical books and journals, so I know that can be very frustrating to other Dr.s. But Dr. Aimee takes it all in stride and helps calm my crazy. Lol.

Make the consultation. It’s worth it. You won’t regret it. Her prices are on the higher side but you get what you pay for with her. She is worth every penny. Your care will be top notch in every aspect.

For my IUI cycle we used Femara on day 3-7, Ovidrel trigger shot, then we also used Dexamethasone, Metformin, prenatals, Ovasitol, CoQ10. It resulted in one follicle that we triggered when it was 21mm and one smaller follicle that was 17 when we triggered. We did an IUI 36 hours after trigger and my husband and I had timed intercourse before and after the IUI. That cycle was negative and I did end up with a cyst, so the 17mm follicle did not ovulate and turned into a cyst. For my IVF cycle I had a very low stimulation protocol because I have PCOS and I am under 30. I did birth control for a couple of weeks. Then I did one vial of Menopur and 150 units of Follistim for eleven days. Then I triggered with lupron. That resulted in 18 eggs, all of them were mature, 15 fertilized with ICSI, 7 five day blastocysts. We did not do PGS testing.

Dr. Aimee is definitely not cheap but she is worth it. My IUI cycle was about $1,300 with the cost of medication, Sperm prep, and the actual procedure. For our IVF cycle we financed it through ARC, which works with Dr. Aimee. So we did the one cycle plus. So we did one retrieval and two transfers and that cost us around $18k. There are some things that ARC doesn’t cover like sperm prep, or PGS testing that you need to pay out of pocket. We also paid for our medication out of pocket as well which was around $2k.

We did a single frozen embryo transfer even though we did not do PGS testing. On our second FET, which we are in the middle of, we are inputting two this time.

I felt Dr. Eyvazzadeh was incredible at communication and that was the strength. Some of my experience I believe was just a learning curve for myself going through it for the first time....one of my drawbacks was distance. The commute was challenging the deeper into the process and definitely post-op.

Ask questions. Be informed. Each experience is unique and so no question is silly...

I do not recall the specifics however I am an older patient and that was one of our primary variables to content with...Dr. Aimee was cognizant of us trying to retrieve what we needed in one attempt.

The costs were around $11,000 in addition to medication costs

I do not in part because I am not well educated on all of the different options
