Attention to Detail

Attention to detail is on a 1 - 10 scale, and is scored based on the rate, and severity, of errors committed by the clinic according to the patients.

For example, a severe error might be failing to inform a patient of critical information, while a small error might be failing to call a patient with results.

CDC Success Rates

This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.

For more information please see our FAQs.

Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.

Dr. Goldstein is the most accessible and communicative doctor I've ever experienced. I sent her dozens of emails throughout my treatment and always received a response from her directly, often within minutes and always on the same day...She performed all my ultrasounds herself and was present for all my appointments, outside of when I just needed to come in for blood work. I felt like she got to know me as a person and was with me emotionally through the highs and lows of my IVF treatment. I felt like she really cared about helping us to achieve our family goals as a human and not just as our doctor.
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] clinic is clean, brand new and beautiful. I felt very confident in the lab and the main embryologist Dr. Liu. This was important for me because they are a new clinic and there was no data for me to look at prior to choosing them as my clinic...I appreciated having a specific nurse designated to me for my treatments. It was helpful because I knew that they were aware of my situation and were present throughout the IVF process and for the majority of my appointments. I thought both Christina and Mariam were excellent nurses and appreciated that they were there for me to help answer questions, teach me how to use the medications, and were cc'd on all email communications I had with Dr. Goldstein.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is a caring and skilled doctor and I felt like I was in great hands every step of the way. She is clearly very intelligent and well educated, which made me feel comfortable that she was up to date on the latest scientific research and protocols. What I also really appreciated about her is her bedside manner, and her obvious care for her patients. Fertility treatment is a very emotional, challenging process with lots of ups and downs, and I felt like Dr. Goldstein was very present with me throughout the whole experience. I also appreciated that when it came down to the science, she was very straightforward and didn't sugarcoat things, but communicated it in an empathic, caring way. This was helpful for me because it allowed me to really trust her and know that she wasn't going to try and spin things to sound positive just to make me happy, but that she would be fully honest with me. I really felt like I needed an attentive doctor who would sort of hold my hand through the process, but also be very skilled as a doctor and Dr. Goldstein is the perfect combination of both these qualities.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is the most accessible and communicative doctor I've ever experienced. I sent her dozens of emails throughout my treatment and always received a response from her directly, often within minutes and always on the same day. I never got the impression that I was bothering or inconveniencing her, even with my occasional anxious late-night emails. She performed all my ultrasounds herself and was present for all my appointments, outside of when I just needed to come in for blood work. I felt like she got to know me as a person and was with me emotionally through the highs and lows of my IVF treatment. I felt like she really cared about helping us to achieve our family goals as a human and not just as our doctor.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I have DOR, so Dr. Goldstein had me start with estrogen priming for both my retrievals. She then had me on 150iu of Menopur, 225iu of Gonal-F for stimulation of the ovaries. She then prescribed Ganirelix for the last 5 days prior to the trigger shot. She utilized an HcG trigger. This was the same protocol for both my egg retrievals.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Christina and Mariam)
I appreciated having a specific nurse designated to me for my treatments. It was helpful because I knew that they were aware of my situation and were present throughout the IVF process and for the majority of my appointments. I thought both Christina and Mariam were excellent nurses and appreciated that they were there for me to help answer questions, teach me how to use the medications, and were cc'd on all email communications I had with Dr. Goldstein. Christina was assigned to me for my first retrieval and then Mariam took over for me for my second retrieval. I did wish that it was communicated to me more clearly that I would be switching over from Christina to Mariam, but I figured it out and it ended up being fine.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
The clinic is clean, brand new and beautiful. I felt very confident in the lab and the main embryologist Dr. Liu. This was important for me because they are a new clinic and there was no data for me to look at prior to choosing them as my clinic. I felt like I had great results considering I yield so few eggs per retrieval. I did switch insurance companies at the beginning of the year, and my new insurance company (Blue Shield) was not in-network with the clinic which was a bit of a bummer once I became pregnant. So I ended up paying for each OB related ultrasound out of pocket, which would have been fully covered with my insurance had it been accepted. I did find out from the billing department that they are in process of getting paneled with Blue Shield and that will probably happen this year. It was a small price to pay though for getting successfully pregnant and I'd happily pay that three times over if I had to again for a successful pregnancy. That really was the only downside I can think of regarding the clinic overall.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
Insurance covered my first egg retrieval cycle, medications, PGS testing, and FET in full. We paid for the second IVF cycle (including egg retrieval & FET) out-of-pocket, which was $13,350 plus the cost of medications. We ended up paying about $2000 for PGS testing in addition, plus some smaller fees for anesthesia and cryopreservation of embryos. Then once pregnant I paid $250 per ultrasound for OB care since they were not in-network with my new insurance at that point. IVF treatment is expensive, but it's all pretty on-par with other similar clinics in the area.

Dr. Goldstein treats you the way no one else I've ever met treats a patient. When you're going through treatment with her, she makes it seem like you and your partner the only people in the world she is treating. She's kind, empathetic, friendly, and humanistic... She answers all your questions so well. She's a master of her craft. I can go on writing this for days. Words can never suffice, she's really plain incredible.
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] clinic is state of the art. Location is amazing. It's brand new, clean, and spacious. Everything is under one roof. It's gorgeous, you will love it. The waiting area is so nice. There are plenty of exam rooms. There are conference rooms/offices for deep discussions so you don't have to have them in the exam room. The procedure rooms are beautiful. The surgery center is within the facility, which is great. We both really loved it there.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is an ideal human and physician. She's kind, patient, empathetic, friendly, and humanistic. She's a great listener and humanistic. She is generous with her time, and available no matter what. Dr. Goldstein did what was best for us every step of the way. She came in when she was sick, when her kid was in the hospital and her husband was out of town. She treated us like giving us the thing we wanted so badly was the only thing in the world that she wanted. She explains everything so clearly. Her vibe is so comforting in an otherwise anxiety-provoking time. She answers all your questions so well. She's a master of her craft. I can go on writing this for days. Words can never suffice, she's really plain incredible.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Absolutely positively go to her, don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Trust her and embrace her, and she'll work miracles for you. Going to her is the best decision you'll ever make in your life.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein treats you the way no one else I've ever met treats a patient. When you're going through treatment with her, she makes it seem like you and your partner the only people in the world she is treating. She's kind, empathetic, friendly, and humanistic. She sits with you in her office in chairs at a table and gives you all the time in the world to hear you out about anything and everything, and address all your concerns. She's kind. She's sweet. She's always available. Nobody in my life in any service, medical or otherwise, has made me feel like more of a human than Dr. Goldstein.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Goldstein used the best IVF regimen for my wife's body to help maximize our chances of a healthy baby. She never cut corners or did what would be fastest to get us through the clinic, or make the most money off of us. She used Follistim and Menpour prior to egg retrival, then the following month, timed the embryo transfer to mimic the natural time fertilization and implantation would occur.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra)
The nursing staff and Alondra in particular made us feel like family from day 1. They were always available. They knew us by first name basis right off the bat. They were kind and friendly. When you're going through this process, you go to the office and see these people almost every day for a few months. The nursing staff made it feel like we were going home to see family every day. They were happy for us like our own family was when we got the good news.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I won't get into specifics, but Dr. Goldstein's pricing is very competitive. They walk you through all the numbers in a dedicated financing session, which is really helpful. Worth every single cent.
Describe Ellen Goldstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Beverly Hills Fertility.
Dr. Goldstein was so confident in her work, and she deserves to be. Based on our genetic testing, she said our success rate would be high, therefore since we strongly wanted to avoid the chance of multiples, we transferred a single embryo. Dr. Goldstein always does what you want and what's in your best interest. For us, that was a single baby, and that's what she made happen.

The clinic is very hands on - all of the Medical Assistants know the names of patients and they are very responsive.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
At first we tried a natural cycle protocol that didn't work that well for me, so Dr. Goldstein quickly adjusted to a birth control lead-in with stimulation/Lupron which worked better. I had also consulted a physician in India who suggested certain dosing of the stimulation drugs and Dr. Goldstein was willing to try it - to combination of achieving synchronization and more stimulation worked well for us. For the transfer we agreed to start with natural cycle transfer and avoid progesterone shots, and it worked for us and we are currently pregnant.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Erika Gonzalez)
Erika was our care coordinator and she was very compassionate, knew us well, and helpful to follow through on the treatment plan. We were very proactive and wanting to understand the details of our treatment (personal preference), and both Dr. Goldstein and Erika were very responsive by email and in person during visits.

[Dr. Ellen Goldstein] is extremely empathetic, understanding and always willing to answer all our questions. She also uses extremely personalized protocols for each of her patients and goes above and beyond to make sure to be at every single appointment so that she has a thorough knowledge of you as a patient. She replies to emails almost always within the hour and has called us personally for every important news, good and bad. We trusted her fully and did not once doubt that she had our best interest in mind and went above and beyond to get us the best possible outcome.
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] clinic is gorgeous, the interiors are classy and minimalistic and the staff is warm and affectionate while being extremely good at their jobs. It was very easy to make appointments and we never waited more than 10 mins for an appointment. They are extremely organized and well run under the leadership of Dr Goldstein...Erika was our nurse and did a good job of communicating with us regarding medication instructions and preparing us before egg retrieval and transfer procedures. She also was extremely compassionate and really cared for us and was rooting for us the whole time.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr Goldstein is extremely unique in the way that she does every single ultrasound and procedures. As a result, she is very closely attuned with the individualized cases of each of her patients. I have a higher AMH and was at an increased risk of OHSS from egg retrieval because of the number of eggs retrieved. Dr Goldstein assured me that she would make sure I did not get OHSS and she was very confident about it. She monitored me using both ultrasounds and labs and adjusted medications to make sure I had the best results without developing any issues. My surgery went very smoothly and I was fully recovered within a week. Dr Goldstein also suggested a natural frozen embryo transfer (FET) for us which meant I did not have to take the dreaded PIO shots. I was nervous about an unmedicated cycle because I didn't trust my body could do it but I feel grateful that Dr G trusted me and saved us so much money along the way because I ended up getting pregnant the very first cycle without medications. Throughout the whole process it felt like Dr Goldstein was part of our team, rooting for us, doing her very best constantly to ensure we get the best outcome and she made it happen.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
To trust her judgement and advice. She really knows what she is doing and even if there are small road bumps along the way, she is gathering all the data and fine tuning the next step and its best to just trust her completely. She will not lead you astray.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
From the very first consultation with Dr Goldstein, my husband and I felt that not only is she outstanding as a doctor, she deeply cares about helping people create their families. She also is extremely empathetic, understanding and always willing to answer all our questions. She also uses extremely personalized protocols for each of her patients and goes above and beyond to make sure to be at every single appointment so that she has a thorough knowledge of you as a patient. She replies to emails almost always within the hour and has called us personally for every important news, good and bad. We trusted her fully and did not once doubt that she had our best interest in mind and went above and beyond to get us the best possible outcome.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
For my egg retrieval cycle I used Menopur and Follistism and the dose needed to be adjusted once based on how my body was responding to the medications. I also took Ganirelix towards the end to prevent premature ovulation. Finally, I took 2 Lupron trigger shots 12 hours apart before the egg retrieval surgery. Dr Goldstein recommended a natural frozen embryo transfer cycle so the only medication I took during that time is Endometrin progesterone suppositories for about 12 weeks.

We were opposed to the idea of twins and Dr Goldstein was in alignment and preferred for us to have a single embryo transfer to avoid any unnecessary risks or complications.

She [Dr. Ellen Goldstein] is well-informed, knowledgeable about the latest statistics and studies, honest about the available paths forward and their risks, compassionate, and incredibly caring...She knew my medical history by heart. And she always patiently and kindly answered our questions along the way and made herself available via email, even on weekends...Her in-depth knowledge, care, compassion, and generosity with her time all helped us through this process. I wish this level of care for anyone else going through this uncertain process.
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] environment is clean, airy, and welcoming. Appointments are almost always very on time. Overall, a well-organized clinic where they deeply care about your outcomes. We felt supported every step of the way...[nurse] was always organized and quickly scheduled my following appointments at the end of every visit. I will miss working with this team. I wish I could continue to work with them until my baby is born.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I initially came across Dr. Goldstein on a virtual appointment with Maven. She is well-informed, knowledgeable about the latest statistics and studies, honest about the available paths forward and their risks, compassionate, and incredibly caring. I set another appointment where my husband and I could align on a path forward with her insight. We were so impressed with how caring she was that we transferred all of my frozen eggs from one of the most well-renowned doctors in our state to her. This was not a light decision because the previous doctor was in-network with our insurance and Dr. Goldstein was out of network. We thought this through and decided that it was worth spending our savings on going through this process while under Dr. Goldstein's care. We are both glad we made the switch. This has been one of the most uncertain and emotional processes we've been through. Her in-depth knowledge, care, compassion, and generosity with her time all helped us through this process. I wish this level of care for anyone else going through this uncertain process.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Instead of spending days and weeks with your worries and feeling alone in this process, reach out to Dr. Goldstein. She made me feel fully supported through this process and the path forward was not as grim as my fears would make me believe.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
She genuinely cared about the results of the process as well as the pace of the process. We encountered a minor delay in the process and I could see on her face that she was genuinely sad that I was experiencing a delay. Unlike my other doctor, she knew me and my husband as people. She knew my medical history by heart. And she always patiently and kindly answered our questions along the way and made herself available via email, even on weekends.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
We thawed my frozen eggs, created embryos, performed genetic testing on all, and proceeded with transferring one of the embryos with the best chance of live births. I am currently (happily) pregnant.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Adri Simental)
Adri strikes a great balance between being professional, kind, and fun. She had an entertaining story to share every time she drew my blood and that made the process so much more pleasant. She was always organized and quickly scheduled my following appointments at the end of every visit. I will miss working with this team. I wish I could continue to work with them until my baby is born.

Describe Ellen Goldstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I greatly appreciate that she worked with my natural cycle to reduce unnecessary medications. She also explained the advantages of moving forward with a single embryo transfer (i.e. reduced risk of premature birth as well as many other possible complications). This was consistent with what my Ob from years ago had taught me. The choice was clear.

I loved Dr. Goldstein. I originally found her from this website and had to come back and review her because she really made a difficult experience for me, as painless as possible. I have PCOS and was worried I would have to go through intense treatments to get pregnant. Dr. Goldstein got me pregnant with Letrozole, and throughout each round she was so gentle, honest, caring, responsive, and positive. I got pregnant within 3 months of seeing her, and couldn't be more grateful for her care and compassion. Highly recommend.
It [Beverly Hills Fertility] is a clean, new, and beautiful clinic. Staff is friendly. If you are time, you are seen within a reasonable amount of time. If you are late, you might have to wait a little bit but they will always try to squeeze you in and never turn you away...[nurse] Erika was there throughout the whole process. She was also very vibrant, kind, and caring. She is responsive both through email and phone. I was very grateful to have her there supporting me as well. All the staff is amazing, but she is the one person I can name because we spent a lot of time in contact.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Don't be afraid to ask questions. I know it is nerve wracking to begin this process, but take care of yourself along the way and remember we all have our journeys.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein has a very honest and nurturing demeanor. She is always up front about treatment and the fertility process, while also remembering that there is an individual on the other side who is going through real life challenges. This is reflected in her treatment, and she is very responsive to calls/emails, etc.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
We did 3 rounds of Letrozole for my PCOS to help my body ovulate. On the first round, I had unexpected bleeding, so we assumed that round didn't work. I got pregnant two rounds later.

Erika was there throughout the whole process. She was also very vibrant, kind, and caring. She is responsive both through email and phone. I was very grateful to have her there supporting me as well. All the staff is amazing, but she is the one person I can name because we spent a lot of time in contact.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
I can honestly only think of strengths. It is a clean, new, and beautiful clinic. Staff is friendly. If you are time, you are seen within a reasonable amount of time. If you are late, you might have to wait a little bit but they will always try to squeeze you in and never turn you away. Only good things.

Ellen [Dr. Goldstein] spent an hour with me during my initial consultation listening to me and my concerns and desires and never pitching me or selling me. She was equally as proficient in her medical expertise as she was in the more emotional vulnerable aspect of the process...She ALWAYS replies to emails personally and/or calls if you need something. I always felt cared for and taken care of in every single visit, and even in every email and communication. She is a true, honest, straightforward yet warm doctor who is extremely knowledgeable in her field and I trust her 100%
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] clinic is super clean and nice (it is new)...The clinic has plenty of rooms and space, and the best part is that the operating area is right there so you feel comfortable and know exactly what the expect on the day of the procedure which helps with the nerves...Everyone is amazing. Adrianna specifically handled most of my comms with the office and was always super quick to answer any concerns about appointments, medications, pharmacy help or anything else. I always felt like she was aware of my needs and she always gave me a call or email same day as my appointments to follow up with how things were going and any adjustments.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I love Ellen and everything she has created for people like me at Beverly Hills Fertility. She represents everything that for me was missing from such vulnerable treatments around fertility. Ellen spent an hour with me during my initial consultation listening to me and my concerns and desires and never pitching me or selling me. She was equally as proficient in her medical expertise as she was in the more emotional vulnerable aspect of the process. I didn’t come back to start the process until months later and she never doubted why I took time to decide or pushed me to do it before i was ready. She ALWAYS replies to emails personally and/or calls if you need something. I always felt cared for and taken care of in every single visit, and even in every email and communication. She is a true, honest, straightforward yet warm doctor who is extremely knowledgeable in her field and I trust her 100%
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Once you communicate what is important to you and share what you need from the process, let go and trust her in all of her guidance (even if it is different from what other doctors have said or you have read online). Just let go and trust that she makes special protocols for YOU with everything you have come with in mind and her team will take care of you
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Ellen is amazing and she hires other women that are also caring, knowledgeable and hard working. Staff always remembered me by name and were super kind. Night and day experience from other places like SCRC
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I shared the last 2 protocols i had with other doctors with Ellen including the results from both. We discussed them and what we thought could improve from the other cycles. She then decided to give me estrogen pills before the cycle which i had never tried before, given my eggs had grown to very different sizes in other cycles. She then had me on 20 units of Lupron morning and night as well as 150 IU menopur in mornings and 300 units or gonal at nights. My eggs grew to much more similar sizes so her hypothesis was correct.

I always felt like she was aware of my needs and she always gave me a call or email same day as my appointments to follow up with how things were going and any adjustments.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
The clinic is super clean and nice (it is new). They are really conveniently located on Santa Monica and Beverly Glen. Parking lot is easy to use and to get up the office from but i always tried to find metered parking (much cheaper). The clinic has plenty of rooms and space, and the best part is that the operating area is right there so you feel comfortable and know exactly what the expect on the day of the procedure which helps with the nerves.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
The egg freezing cycle was $8000 which included all of the ultrasounds, blood drawn during monitoring, visits and procedure. The $300 consultation fee i don’t recall if it goes towards that… if it does I didn’t get the credit because I forgot to ask. The medication was probably $4000 more for me.

Dr. G makes herself available via email to the patient and never let more than an hour go by before responding to any concern or test result, which was so comforting when you are going through this journey. She is truly dedicated to her patients, coming in on a Saturday or Sunday if that’s the day that is best for the patient’s procedure...was very attentive with each scan, making small changes to meds to achieve the best outcome
I can’t say enough kind words about this practice [Beverly Hills Fertility], I felt truly cared for. I can see that each person who works there wants success for every patient, and they take the time to talk when a cycle doesn’t work out or the journey gets difficult. When I got my positive pregnancy test and saw the team for my first few ultrasounds and blood tests, it felt like we all won!
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. G was the only doctor who met with me in person, although in a post Covid world, it seemed important to me that the doctor would want to talk to me face to face as well as perform their own ultrasound for a proper assessment to base their plans on. Where the other doctors once again pushed for IVF and donor eggs, Dr. G took a piece of paper and mapped out her plan for me and explained why she would not go the IVF route based on my entire fertility picture.

She is truly dedicated to her patients, coming in on a Saturday or Sunday if that’s the day that is best for the patient’s procedure. Alondra, my clinical coordinator, was so kind, empathetic and knowledgeable in guiding me through the day to day of each cycle and in coordinating all my medications. The entire staff, including Erica, someone I saw a lot, were so supportive in my 3 cycles of IUI. They were all so genuine in hoping each cycle was the one. Dr. G was very attentive with each scan, making small changes to meds to achieve the best outcome. She was also very mindful of cost, and always looked for ways to save me money with medications or treatments which I appreciated in an expensive venture. I can’t say enough kind words about this practice, I felt truly cared for. I can see that each person who works there wants success for every patient, and they take the time to talk when a cycle doesn’t work out or the journey gets difficult.

Know that Dr.G will always be honest and work with you to achieve your goal in the way she thinks you can actually get to the goal.

I could be biased when I say, I think Dr. G worked harder for me since I’m having twins, but I know she puts the same effort into every case. I know Beverly Hills Fertility will continue their amazing work in building families, even when other doctors may not see the same possibility. In reflecting on my entire infertility journey, I’m so glad I found Dr. Goldstein and her practice…my family and I will forever be so thankful for everyone who played a part in our story.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra )
Alondra and Erica were angels. So supportive, we all got tears in our eyes when we knew I wouldn't see them any longer on my journey through pregnancy. They were so genuine and empathetic to the hardship of the process. They are both amazing people all around.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
Access to the doctor and quick communication turn around for any concern or question. Complete availability to the day that is best for your procedure. They are so dedicated to your procedures. I never had to wait a long time in their office which appreciated and it felt like they respected my time as much as I respected theirs. They were accommodating with my work schedule to see me when it was best for me. I brought my toddler to procedures which they allowed and I was grateful for.

I was shocked by how available Dr. Goldstein was for us. My first visit, she sat in her office with me and my partner for over an hour and just got to know us and our history. She cared, she laughed with us, she empathized with us. She let us email her at any time and called us any time we asked, even in the late night...she kept close track of my ovulation to determine the length of time to do the stims, and under ordered my medication so I wouldn't have to pay more than necessary...
Amazing clinic [Beverly Hills Fertility], well run and well organized. The girls are so friendly, they make themselves available to me whenever I needed it, and never bruised me when taking my blood a million times a month...I was greeted cheerfully, the girls would laugh with me and keep things light. They took care of me like I was their own. To give me my good news, they all got together and called me together and I was so touched I cried about it for days...
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is something else. She is heaven sent for anyone going through infertility. She made us feel seen, she gave us her time, took the time to answer our 1 million questions, was willing to do what we were comfortable with without any judgement. She made herself available to answer my 1000 million questions, even when I would sent silly questions late at night she responded in 5 minutes. She cares. She would see me happy and get happy, she would see me nervous and reassure me. She would see my excited and set my expectations realistically. She took the best care of us, all while keeping us realistically hopeful the entire process. I couldn't rave enough.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I would say to trust Dr. Goldstein. She really knows what she's talking about and what she's doing, trust her. I'm very into research myself, and would go research the advice or things she'd tell me and see that she really knows what she's talking about.

Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
My husband and I didn't want to do IUI. The low success rate didn't feel like something we could handle, and she was supportive of our decision without pushing in any direction. We did a relatively normal IVF cycle, where she kept close track of my ovulation to determine the length of time to do the stims, and under ordered my medication so I wouldn't have to pay more than necessary. She ended up saving me so much money, because my stims were relatively short. We did the transfer in the next cycle with minimal hormonal intervention which was refreshing, no trigger shot or anything (which was great because that first trigger was so hard on my body). I got pregnant the first round of IVF thanks to Dr. Goldstein's magic.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra)
Coming to the clinic for me felt like coming to my cousin's house. I was greeted cheerfully, the girls would laugh with me and keep things light. They took care of me like I was their own. To give me my good news, they all got together and called me together and I was so touched I cried about it for days. They were so good to me every step of the way I couldn't be more appreciative.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
Amazing clinic, well run and well organized. The girls are so friendly, they make themselves available to me whenever I needed it, and never bruised me when taking my blood a million times a month. I don't have any weaknesses honestly. Bring a jacket for the waiting room lol
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Beverly Hills Fertility.
They had to be within a certain time frame when blood work was involved, in order to get results back that day. But if it was just an ultrasound, the timing was more flexible than that
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I think the treatment was around 14k for IVF, and an addition 4500 for genetic testing. I could be wrong, don't quote me.
Describe Ellen Goldstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I was strongly against having twins ( I don't think I can handle two at once, but more power to those who can). She was supportive of my decision, and instructed us when to use protection to prevent twins as well as only impanting one embryo.

Dr. Goldstein is a true girl boss – fabulous, knowledgeable, down to earth, has an amazing team, and most importantly, she balances reality with optimism. I always felt that I was in such great hands...She’s also extremely research, fact, and digitally minded, so I personally felt like all decisions were up to date and never needed a second opinion...as a patient you see Dr. Goldstein each time so there was no need to rehash or get a surprise during each visit...
[at Beverly Hills Fertility] Costs are basically divided into two main buckets: (1) procedure-related fees and (2) medicines. (1) is the clinic’s fixed fee and (2) depends on how your ultrasounds go. Regardless, Dr. Goldstein is very intentional about not over-ordering for medicines, minimizing any unnecessary costs and medicine waste...Dr. Goldstein’s team does an amazing financial onboarding session, which happens right before finalizing everything...
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is a true girl boss – fabulous, knowledgeable, down to earth, has an amazing team, and most importantly, she balances reality with optimism. I always felt that I was in such great hands, and as someone who likes to do her research, I could then just clarify or validate things with her or her team at any time. This also allowed me to just focus on myself and the journey towards egg freezing. She’s also extremely research, fact, and digitally minded, so I personally felt like all decisions were up to date and never needed a second opinion.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Figure out what you want to do, why things have or have not worked, and come prepared with any questions (you also don’t need to have any). I saw all this because once you’re in, the clinic is such a well-oiled machine that things can happen on Day 1! It’s incredibly exciting, and so if you need more time to think, do your research prior and learn as much as you can. Also, depending on what your purpose of visit is, find the 3-4 attributes that you’re looking for in a doctor / clinic. Once I identified mine, I only chose Dr. Goldstein (vs. talking to a few doctors), and I already knew that I wanted to work with her after doing my research, and I’ve never looked back.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I felt like a human because everything was extremely personalized - from getting to know the entire team and each other to adjusting protocols or strategies on the fly and essentially figuring it out and learning along the way. It also made a difference that as a patient you see Dr. Goldstein each time so there was no need to rehash or get a surprise during each visit. Each visit was then almost predictable and quicker (or longer) based on what you needed at that particular time. If I felt like a number, I’d be in and out in five minutes, seeing different team members, and needing to memorize my case in order to explain the purpose of visit.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I had an ultrasound and bloodwork as an initial step for follicle count and other important baseline measures. Based on those results, you get a rough schedule about your personalized plan. Once we had my target start date, I ordered my medicines, and you get an onboarding of the medication. Throughout the days you’re on medication, you have ultrasounds, bloodwork, and then once ready, you have your trigger shot (36H prior to retrieval). Then, I had my retrieval. It took a few days to recover and about two weeks to fully feel back to normal. It was a success!
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Erika & Christina)
The nursing staff was everything for me. By the end of my few weeks at the clinic, you know everyone’s names and some personal stories. It really makes a difference when the team is extremely approachable, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring. I had endless questions, and each of them were extremely proficient. I really felt like they were with me each and every step of the way (until I got picked up post-retrieval).
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
Strength for me would definitely be the overall clinic’s aesthetic. It never felt like I was going to a hospital, rather it was somewhere that was very comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Location was also a major plus for me - I chose based on proximity to my work (about 15 minutes). This is especially handy when and if you have your appointments in the early mornings. I cannot think of any weaknesses aside from parking - but that’s an issue throughout the city. If you’re deciding across clinics, I’d say the #1 factor is really who you’re seeing / the doctor. I’d travel for Dr. Goldstein!
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
My total costs for egg freezing were about $13K. Costs are basically divided into two main buckets: (1) procedure-related fees and (2) medicines. (1) is the clinic’s fixed fee and (2) depends on how your ultrasounds go. Regardless, Dr. Goldstein is very intentional about not over-ordering for medicines, minimizing any unnecessary costs and medicine waste. My insurance paid for a little more than 50%. It’s important to set a budget for the total costs and confirm things with your own employer / insurance so you know what you’re in for. Dr. Goldstein’s team does an amazing financial onboarding session, which happens right before finalizing everything. If you’re reading this far, just go for it. The entire process is life-changing, and I will forever be grateful for Dr. Goldstein and her team!

Dr. Goldstein is a wonderful doctor and human...1. She saw me at every visit...2. She gave me realistic expectations and checked those with every visit as the process progressed. 3. She sincerely cared about how much money I spent on meds. She timed everything perfectly...4. She let me know from day one that she was available to answer any question as it came up and not to hesitate to reach out. Emailing her, even late at night, received a speedy response.
[Beverly Hills Fertility] Strengths: -Exceptional doctor and staff -Lovely office with validated parking -Short wait times -Price - I didn't do a lot of shopping around but I believe Dr. Goldstein is priced slightly lower than other clinics in the area. Especially if you factor in that the first year of egg storage is included in the fee. Weakness: Dr. Goldstein is the only doctor. I'm sure there's a backup plan if something comes up - I never asked!
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is a wonderful doctor and human. This was my second round of egg freezing and some things stood out about my experience with her: 1. She saw me at every visit (as opposed to another clinic where I only saw my doctor for the consultation and retrieval). 2. She gave me realistic expectations and checked those with every visit as the process progressed. 3. She sincerely cared about how much money I spent on meds. She timed everything perfectly so I wouldn't have extra meds but also recommended upping the dose when it made sense. 4. She let me know from day one that she was available to answer any question as it came up and not to hesitate to reach out. Emailing her, even late at night, received a speedy response.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Be honest and upfront with your questions. Do research so you know which questions to ask. She'll answer them and give you all the information you need to make personal decisions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein always took her time with me to address my questions and concerns. Her facility itself is brimming with kind employees who prioritize patient care. Her tone always comes from a place of confidence and knowledge but never from a place of superiority and arrogance.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I started with estrogen pills 7 days after ovulation. Days 1-4: 225 follistim, 150 menopur Days 5-11: upped to 300 follistim Days 8-12: ganirelix Day 12: trigger shot + what was left of follistim (about 275) Day 14: retrieval 13 eggs retrieved, 10 mature
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Erika Gonzalez)
Erika was an absolute delight. She was always cheerful, compassionate and professional. Having a dedicated coordinator makes the process so much easier - I never felt like I was throwing my questions out into the ether. Erika was on it! Every other person (finance, front desk, nurses, embryologist, anesthesiologist) at the clinic I interacted with was wonderful. Clearly, hiring people who are on board with Dr. Goldstein's ethos is a priority for the clinic.

Dr. Goldstein is an exceptional doctor that is very knowledgeable and confident in what she does.

Erika was our absolute favorite coordinator [at Beverly Hills Fertility]! She is so professional, responsible, and above all- caring. She always has a smile on her face and it makes this process less heavy when someone is happy to greet you and excited for the next steps...I always felt like I could reach her with any questions and was in great hands throughout this entire process...

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Trust in her experience and knowledge! The infertility process can have ups and downs and unforeseen twists. And if something is not going as planned, she undoubtedly will adapt and problem solve in a way that will be best for you in the long run. I never doubted anything she recommended during our journey for a minute.

Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
For our transfer, we decided to do frozen and attempt a natural cycle. Through consistent daily blood work, she discovered that my hormones were out of whack and made the decision to cancel the cycle. For the next cycle, she recommended a medicated cycle with estrace and PIO shots. This would guarantee more control over my levels. It proved true, as I am currently pregnant!
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Erika)
Erika was our absolute favorite coordinator! She is so professional, responsible, and above all- caring. She always has a smile on her face and it makes this process less heavy when someone is happy to greet you and excited for the next steps. She was absolutely amazing in every way. There is not a single negative thing I can think of to say. I always felt like I could reach her with any questions and was in great hands throughout this entire process.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
Beverly Hills Fertility is beyond amazing. They are responsive to questions, organized, welcoming, and not to mention the office is state of the art! They are at a completely different level than any fertility clinic I have visited prior. The level of professionalism and competence the entire staff possesses is unlike any other. For any new future patients, if you are researching and wondering if you should become a patient—-DO IT! I am so grateful to have been referred to this office and becoming a patient was the best decision I have ever made.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I was always able to schedule my monitoring appointments with no problem. Dr. Goldstein worked around my work schedule to avoid me having to miss too many days. They were amazing at fitting me in during times that were more convenient for me.

How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr Goldstein was absolutely incredible. We sought her out after going through three consecutive miscarriages and being told by multiple doctors to “just keep trying”. Dr Goldstein responded by acknowledging the emotional pain of the miscarriages and performing a full testing and imaging workup to ensure that nothing was missed. She confirmed the previous diagnosis, but did so in a way that made us feel listened to and understood which was critical in our ability to move forward. When we did get pregnant again, she performed weekly ultrasounds to help us through the first trimester and continued to be a resource via email as we transitioned to our permanent OB-QYN. Thank you Dr Goldstein!

Dr. Ellen Goldstein is simply incredible, brilliant, amiable, kind and extremely attentive. She was everything I needed and more in my times of distress, in my moments of confusion and my own self doubt. She treated me and my husband like a partner in this journey and never failed to reassure me that I am capable of becoming a mother. Dr. Goldstein is a blessing in my life. I have never experienced such attentive care as a patient until I met her.
Beverly Hills Fertility has many strengths. They've created a aesthetically beautiful, calm and welcoming environment for their patients. It never feels like a 'factory', like some of the other places I've been to before I came across Dr. Goldstein's practice. As a patient, I always felt very welcomed by their staff. Everyone is so sweet and caring...I met with the financial coordinator, where she meticulously went over every detail of cost and different options to choose from. She answered every question and helped us choose the best options for our treatment plan.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
My advice to a prospect patient of Ellen Goldstein is to truly lift the weight off your own shoulders by letting her take over. Let go of any self doubt or pressure you've placed on yourself and trust her process. She will be doing everything in her power to achieve success.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I absolutely felt like a human during my visits and treatments with Dr. Goldstein, I am forever grateful to her for responding to every single email and never letting more than an hour go by before answering. Often times, answering me within minutes. Those moments are so appreciated. I felt so cared for, seen and truly felt like I was her only patient... even though I definitely was not! I am not sure how she does it, but she truly has an incredible strength and passion for fertility. She treated me like any family member would.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Goldstein's protocol was meticulous and effective. She did not want me to spend unnecessary money, nor overstimulate me with the IVF treatments. She only prescribed what was needed and carefully monitored me. During the IVF injections, I felt totally fine and I was able to live a normal life. Dr. Goldstein had video tutorials that she created herself helping us learn how to do the injections comfortably at home. As a result, we retrieved 20 eggs! We had 5 embryos and then went through PGS-testing our embryos, leaving us with 2 healthy tested embryos. After the retrieval process, Dr. Goldstein prepared me for a natural frozen embryo transfer. We used my own hormones for this 'natural' transfer (therefore there were no extra medications/injections needed other than letrozole) and we waited until I ovulated on my own. She monitored me like a hawk and perfectly timed the transfer. And it was successful!!!
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Mariam)
Mariam was an awesome care coordinator for me. She responded to all my emails / phone calls promptly and patiently helped me answer all my questions with detail.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
After my consultation appointment, I met with the financial coordinator, where she meticulously went over every detail of cost and different options to choose from. She answered every question and helped us choose the best options for our treatment plan. We decided to move forward with their recommended protocols, including ICSI, PGS-Testing etc. We spent about $20k for the entire process which is very competitive compared to other IVF fertility centers. My medications were probably around an additional $3,500. Overall, Dr. Goldstein understands the financial stress that IVF can come with, so she was always very considerate about making sure she prescribed just the necessary amount of medications so we did not need to overspend.

Dr. Goldstein is patient and takes time to answer all your questions -- while you are in her office and when you contact her by email or phone. She is very responsive to emails, provides detailed responses, and welcomes follow up questions. I felt very comfortable to ask her questions. Also, during this entire process, other than bloodwork, Dr. Goldstein was directly involved. She did all my ultrasounds and met with me during every visit...understood how emotional this process is -- she listened, she was patient, and empathetic.
They [Beverly Hill Fertility] do not work with insurance (at least at the time of my visit), which was not ideal. They were responsive, the office was clean, and the entire team starting at the front desk were patient, kind, and sincere...Dr. Goldstein has excellent bedside manner, she is calm and caring, and very receptive and responsive to questions (during visits and by phone/email). She encouraged me to email her with concerns and questions, and she always responded timely. Initially, it appeared as though I had diminished ovarian reserve and Dr. Goldstein really partnered with me to figure out the best course of action. She made me feel very safe and I had full confidence in her experience (even though I am a very skeptical person, generally).

If you like to know all possible outcomes and side effects, even if the chances of such outcomes are low, be proactive in asking her. For example, go over what you could experience after the retrieval process (for example, to no fault of Dr. Goldstein's, I had significant bloating after the retrieval, which is "normal" but not as common).

Lastly, Dr. Goldstein understood how emotional this process is -- she listened, she was patient, and empathetic.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I took estrogen pills about a week before I expected my cycle to start (not everyone does this), I did injections for 10 days before my trigger injection (initally thought I would do 8-9 but I was responding well to medication so we continued a bit more). The results were great -- each visit, we could see about 15-17 follicles and she was able to retrieve 17 mature eggs. She also retrieved 3 that were not mature.

Very minor, but Dr. Goldstein told me my procedure would be at one time, but my nurse emailed me with a different time.

Dr Goldstein is an exceptional doctor! She is knowledgeable, confident, empathetic, and communicative. My wife and I got responses from her within minutes! We felt safe in her hands. She never rushed any appointments and made sure to answer all of our questions. She was honest with me and my wife about our treatment plan. In fact, she went above and beyond and personally referred us to a doctor who was able to remove one of my wife’s fibroids using a non-invasive technique within weeks! Otherwise, we would have had to wait for months and any other doctor would have done a laparoscopic procedure, which is considered a major surgery and comes with more risks. My wife and I are very lucky to have found Dr. Goldstein. She is the reason our dreams are becoming a reality.

Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Goldstein was very honest with my wife and me and let us know that a specific fibroid needed to be removed before we’d be able to conceive. She did not suggest a major surgery such as laparoscopy and referred us to a friend/colleague who was able to remove it hysteroscopically. Dr. Goldstein assured us that after the procedure, we’d be able to get pregnant through IUI, and she was right! My wife got pregnant within three months. She had medicated cycles using Letrozole.

Dr. Goldstein is exceptional at balancing compassionate counsel with pragmatic care. I never felt like I was being "babied" or talked down to, but I always felt like my questions were answered and I was being given the opportunity to be honest and open about my experience with egg freezing...As a plus, she's young, energetic, and genuine. I can't say enough wonderful things...I absolutely raved about Dr. Goldstein to friends and family members
I loved this clinic because you know exactly what you're getting. When I was researching clinics, I got very nervous that I would get randomly assigned to a doctor who was less experienced or qualified because of the volume. Having a clinic with a single doctor was so reassuring because I knew exactly who I was dealing with from the day of my consult. My only very minor critique is that the parking is an additional cost (not substantial but you need to remember to ask for validation).
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is exceptional at balancing compassionate counsel with pragmatic care. I never felt like I was being "babied" or talked down to, but I always felt like my questions were answered and I was being given the opportunity to be honest and open about my experience with egg freezing. I absolutely raved about Dr. Goldstein to friends and family members. When I went in for my consult, she was so patient with me and very kind when we discovered that my AFC was much lower than expected for my age. She advised me on steps that we could take to give me the best shot at collecting as many eggs as possible, and she absolutely nailed it. She projected that I could get 8 eggs at our consult, and that's exactly what I wound up with. As a plus, she's young, energetic, and genuine. I can't say enough wonderful things.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Prepare yourself to get an honest assessment of your prognosis--even if it's bad, you'll be supported along the way.

Even though she has an exceptionally busy practice, I always felt like staff carved out time to answer my questions and Dr. Goldstein made it a point to call me and check in after every major milestone. I had the opportunity to ask questions at any and all points of the process. On one occasion, I inadvertently lost a dose of my medication by pulling the syringe plunger out too far and had to panic-email Dr. Goldstein and my facilitator, Alondra. I got an immediate response and reassurance from Alondra that everything was okay, that they could make sure I got the requisite dose on time, and apologizing (to me!) for the stress.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Goldstein had me go off birth control for three months before I started the retrieval process. Once that was done, she prescribed me Estrace tablets for a period of about a week or so. She then had me stop taking the tablets before I started my injections.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra)
Alondra and the entire team of nurses were so wonderful. They were always in touch and available, and they worked so hard. I don't think this office has any "off" days (my retrieval was on the Fourth of July) and they were still always sunny and warm and reassuring.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
I loved this clinic because you know exactly what you're getting. When I was researching clinics, I got very nervous that I would get randomly assigned to a doctor who was less experienced or qualified because of the volume. Having a clinic with a single doctor was so reassuring because I knew exactly who I was dealing with from the day of my consult. My only very minor critique is that the parking is an additional cost (not substantial but you need to remember to ask for validation).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
All told, including medications, the cost of my care for a single cycle of egg freezing came to around $15,000.

Dr.Golstein has been present and available at every appointment. She responds to emails and texts within hours and she takes time to explain every step of the process. She is kind and honest about results, both good and bad. It is clear she wants the patient to feel comfortable the entire time. She undersands the tremendous emotional and mental (not to mention physical) toll fertility treatments take on a woman.
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] clinic is beautiful and new. The waiting room is peaceful, quiet and pleasant to be in. The clinic is clean. I didn't see dust or dirt on the machines or baseboards. The experience in the clinic has always been pleasant and calming. There is also parking on site...all the nurses at Beverly Hills Fertility are incredible. They are kind, compassionate and open about information. They take time to explain injections and procedures. I always felt comfortable with every nurse I encountered and Christina is fantastic.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is a compassionate, honest and patient doctor and we felt comfortable the entire time we have worked with her. Our feritlity journey went like this: Learned I had low AMH and failure to conceive after 1 year; did 1 IUI with clomid; did 1 natural cycle with clomid; moved on to egg retrieval; had poor results (got 15 eggs but only 1 euploid embryo & 1 low mosaic), transfer of euploid failed; did more testing for inflammation and planned to transfer mosaic; testing for inflammation was positive and transfer was canceled; treated inflammation mutiple times and did another egg retrieval while waiting to be cleared to transfer; got MUCH better embryo results with the 2nd retrieval (18 eggs and 6 euploid embryos); inflammation cleared; transfer a euploid emrbyo from the 2nd retrieval; currently 4 weeks pregnant. During this entire process, Dr. Goldstein made our options clear and gave us great advice. Dr. Goldstein follows methods that are backed with strong scientific data and changes course when protocols aren't working. She does not tell the patient how to live or what to do, rather she makes recommendations that she knows work. She will never tell you to give up coffee or a glass of wine here or there!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
If for whatever reason a part of the process seems unclear or uncomfortable, simply ask for clarification. Dr. Goldstein will always take time to explain procotols, options and procedures, and especially if you are feeling unsure.

Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
During our first retrieval, we did a natural cycle retrival and a natural cycle transfer (following my normal path of ovulation). In both cases, I had poor results - only 1 euploid embryo from the retrieval and a failed transfer. For my second retrieval she suggested we do a luteal phase retrieval, which can sometimes yield better results for older patients with lower AMH (like me). In this case, the doctor retrieves eggs outside the normal cycle of ovulation. This worked SO much better for me: I got more eggs, more embryos and more euploids (6!!). With my transfer, we also did a medicated cycle and now I am pregnant. Although there are many factors that contribute to outcomes at every stage of the journey, I can't help but think that switching the protocol and trying something new may have helped a lot! Dr.Goldstein believes in trying new protocols when previous ones don't work. She isn't afraid to be creative and try new things.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Christina Membrere)

Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
The costs at Beverly Hills Fertility are very competitive and not overpriced. The prices down in LA are much cheaper than in Northern CA, which is one of the reasons I chose to go to LA for treatment.
Describe Ellen Goldstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Beverly Hills Fertility.
We were open with Dr. Goldstein about our goals for our desired family. She makes recommendations based on that and other factors, like maternal age. For us, she did not recommend transfer multiple embryos, as least not within the first few transfers. But she is not opposed to it if someone wants more children and has less time.

when I saw her [Dr. Goldstein] for the first time for a consultation. She pulled out a paper and pencil and proceeded to draw a funny diagram of the uterus, fallopian tubes, etc! I remember from that day how comfortable I felt with her and how I really liked her communication style...She talked me through everything, answered all my emails and questions promptly and we really felt taken care of through the whole process...
Beautiful, new and clean clinic [Beverly Hills Fertility]. Everyone is very nice, calm and friendly...Usually quick. Get in and get out. I usually didn’t have to wait very long to be seen....Her support staff, the patient care coordinators, of Beverly Hills Fertility were also amazing. They were so sweet, kind and supportive through all the ultrasounds, blood draws, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and everything in between...
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
After trying to get pregnant for about 6 months naturally, my OB had suggested I see a fertility doctor, Dr Ellen Goldstein. I remember when I saw her for the first time for a consultation. She pulled out a paper and pencil and proceeded to draw a funny diagram of the uterus, fallopian tubes, etc! I remember from that day how comfortable I felt with her and how I really liked her communication style. We started with an IUI. After 3 IUI’s with little success we all thought it was best to get a little more aggressive and do IVF. This is something I never thought I would have to do in my wildest dreams. I trusted in Dr Goldstein’s expertise and glad my husband and I did. She talked me through everything, answered all my emails and questions promptly and we really felt taken care of through the whole process. Her support staff, the patient care coordinators, of Beverly Hills Fertility were also amazing. They were so sweet, kind and supportive through all the ultrasounds, blood draws, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and everything in between. We are now pregnant with our first little one, thanks to Dr Goldstein! We couldn’t be more pleased with the care we received.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
Beautiful, new and clean clinic. Everyone is very nice, calm and friendly. Early on in treatment, every time I would go to this office, it was FREEZING… especially on those days I had to undress from the waist down for ultrasounds. They did supply me with a warm, fuzzy blanket though :)

Dr. Goldstein is super reliable, compassionate and has the most steady hands...I have pretty low follicle counts comparing to other girls of my age, and my estradiol level was really low all the way through the stimulation. To cater for my personal situation, Dr. Goldstein would schedule additional appointments so she could closely monitor my follicle development and adjust meds based on my responses...after my retrievals, I almost didn't feel a thing...
The embryologist [at Beverly Hills Fertility] who handled my case, Dr. Liu, is one of the most experienced in the field and certainly is able to culture embryos to their greatest potentials! I remember one of mine was still in cleavage stage at day 5, but somehow it turned into a hatching blastocyst on day 6 under his treatment, and he also turned my two GV into M2, incredible!...
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I cannot express how lucky I was to have Dr. Goldstein as my RE, she is fantastic and helped me get the results that beyond my expectation. I have pretty low follicle counts comparing to other girls of my age, and my estradiol level was really low all the way through the stimulation. To cater for my personal situation, Dr. Goldstein would schedule additional appointments so she could closely monitor my follicle development and adjust meds based on my responses. Since my numbers were not so great, I had mentally prepared myself for a poor result. But it turned out, Dr. Goldstein was able to retrieve an optimal number of eggs that doubled my expectation and well enough for fertilization! I was so happy and surprised, and I don't think there could be any better results if not for her individualized adjustments on my protocol.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Do some research before deciding on a doctor. Of course, if you do your research, you will find Dr. Goldstein is one of the best (the best for me that's for sure), and you'll be in competent hands. She is completely professional, knowledgeable, and the most charismatic doctor I've ever encountered. Trust people who recommend her here, good reviews don't write themselves.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is super reliable, compassionate and has the most steady hands. She answered every question I had and was always so gentle and calm while performing the ultrasound exam, and with great patience too. Besides, she is so skilled at her procedures that after my retrievals, I almost didn't feel a thing, and other patients I knew also didn't feel much pain and recovered very quickly. Dr. Goldstein has made this whole process so easy and comfortable.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I started with BCP suppression and then was given both Menopur and Follistim for stimulation, Dr. Goldstein started with small doses on me and added them incrementally throughout the process based on my responses, and I triggered with HCG. The eggs synchronized pretty nicely with 88% maturation rate.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Sora)
Sora is amazing! She is caring and responsive, a big helper! And the whole team is great too! They always produce positive ambience, making my every visit an enjoyable experience.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
This clinic has the full package. Not only does it have the best doctor, but it's also equipped with the best lab. The embryologist who handled my case, Dr. Liu, is one of the most experienced in the field and certainly is able to culture embryos to their greatest potentials! I remember one of mine was still in cleavage stage at day 5, but somehow it turned into a hatching blastocyst on day 6 under his treatment, and he also turned my two GV into M2, incredible!

After seeing several other fertility doctors, I can honestly say Dr. Goldstein is one of the best!

Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I did an "old school" fresh IVF transfer. Given my age and budget, this was the best option. I used all medications as prescribed and was expecting about 5-6 eggs. However, Dr. Goldstein said that I most likely ovulated early because I only ending up getting 2 eggs and embryos out of the process. Unfortunately, neither embryo was viable. We talked after the process about what we will do differently for the next cycle and I felt confident going in to do another round.

I felt like she [Dr. Goldstein] really cared about me and was invested in my well being. As concierge as one can get in this field. She was down to earth and also incredibly smart and able to explain everything to me in terms I could easily digest. She was also very kind, friendly (and funny!)...kept me hopeful during a time where I needed to feel that more than anything else...She always kept the financial burden in mind....
I always felt so welcome and so taken care of [at Beverly Hills Fertility]. They are also pros at blood draws and they never hurt...The rooms are heated and there are flat screens showing you the ultrasound in each room. The day of my embryo transfer both my husband and I got to see on a flat screen the embryo being selected and brought in through the microscope...Erika and the rest of the staff are lovely...
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ellen Goldstein. I felt so well taken care of and supported during such a sensitive and vulnerable time. Dr. Goldstein was there for me whenever I needed her and really and truly cared about my well being...her staff is lovely and personable and I really felt like I was in the best hands possible. She is the gold standard of fertility doctors (well of any doctor really) and kept me hopeful during a time where I needed to feel that more than anything else. I recommend her to ANYONE who asks me. Look no further if you are reading this review. This is your sign to choose Dr. Goldstein!!!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Trust the process and trust Dr. Goldstein!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I had heard horror stories that some IVF doctors made my friends feel like a number. This was the exact opposite of my experience with Dr. Goldstein. I felt like she really cared about me and was invested in my well being. As concierge as one can get in this field. She was down to earth and also incredibly smart and able to explain everything to me in terms I could easily digest. She was also very kind, friendly (and funny!) with me and my husband!
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Goldstein made a point of not over-ordering medications so that I didn't spend more than I needed to in a costly process. Dr. Goldstein recommended IUI and IVF but at that time my husband and I were not ready for IVF and wanting to keep trying IUI's - along the way we found out I had polyps and I had those removed than after my third IUI, Dr. Goldstein had a sit down with us and recommended IVF moving forward for success reasons and financial reasons, which I really really appreciated. She always kept the financial burden in mind.

This clinic is gorgeous!!!! The waiting room is so luxurious and comfortable. The rooms are heated and there are flat screens showing you the ultrasound in each room.

The embryologist was the cutest and he planned this lovely classical music. I could tell how much the staff loved their building and each other
