Attention to Detail

7.5
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. Ketefian took her time with us during each visit, we never felt rushed and she was always patient with us. She also made herself available either by email or phone if we had any questions or concerns that would come up... We met her when we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into and from day one she broke every single thing down for us and answered all of our questions. By the end of that first consult, we were absolute pumped and confident we were making the right decision. It was definitely not an easy journey but she made it bearable.

How was your experience with Aline Ketefian at HRC Fertility?
To sum it up, Dr. Ketefian was God sent. To break it down, I had Ketefian from the beginning when we started IUI till the end of our IVF journey. We met her when we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into and from day one she broke every single thing down for us and answered all of our questions. By the end of that first consult, we were absolute pumped and confident we were making the right decision. It was definitely not an easy journey but she made it bearable. Every interaction with her was positive: She was patient, sweet and always made herself available for us. When things got tough, she shared through our pain and offered alternative ways to approach our situation. Mostly importantly she never gave up and made sure that we didn’t either. I cannot recommend her enough, I don’t know if we would have lasted as long as we did if it wasn’t for her.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Aline Ketefian at HRC Fertility?
Advice I would give to a prospective patient is that it's okay not to know what questions to ask initially as Dr. Ketefian does a great job explaining what is to be expected.

Doctor potter was a very caring doctor during our initial consulate and even after we lost our first pregnancy. He explained everything in great detail and was super understanding of our situation...he only recommends 3-day bed rest after the transfer...he helped us achieve something we thought would be impossible..
[the HRC Fertility] was always available to take my calls and responded to my emails within a couple of hours, she was like our support system...we ended up paying around 25k...They were always welcoming they were basically like my 2nd family, loved going to my weekly visits, very comforting and relaxing. overall, I didn't have a problem with them at all even when I showed up late I would still be seen, because they understand that sometimes it's difficult to be on time.
How was your experience with Daniel Potter at HRC Fertility?
I can only recommend Dr.Potter, he helped us achieve something we thought would be impossible, I and my husband have been trying to have children for 5 years but then COIVD hit and we started thinking and that's when we made the best choice of our lives and went to HRC.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Daniel Potter at HRC Fertility?
He does come off as kind of weird but he is a really good doctor, just be patient and trust in him and everything will work out. But one thing I must say, he only recommends 3-day bed rest after the transfer, what I found that worked for me was to be on bed rest till the day of the pregnancy exam, I have seen it increase the percentage of pregnancy.

[Dr. Becht] was very friendly and spoke slowly to be able to understand how the procedures were going to work...The doctor requested a lot of visits to test levels and adjusted medication accordingly. They actually produced great results in the growth of follicles...She listened thoroughly and took any of the other issues that I had into consideration
[the HRC Fertilty] was great, and patient with me because I forget to stay up-to-date with things like the calendar, so she was on top of it for me...The clinic is very organized, they move through the appointments quickly which makes it easy to schedule and more comfortable...Also make sure that you know your arms for blood draw, and let them know if the blood draws are uncomfortable.

The doctor was very friendly and spoke slowly to be able to understand how the procedures were going to work. She’s friendly and upbeat which I appreciate because this is not an easy thing to go through. She listened thoroughly and took any of the other issues that I had into consideration. So she was able to advise me and treat me correctly.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Lisa Becht at HRC Fertility?
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, Dr. Becht has no is she giving you the time to be able to answer them. The process can be really confusing and it’s nice to have a doctor that will explain what you’re going to go through and answer any questions that make you hesitant to move forward.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Lisa Becht at HRC Fertility?
Everything was explained to me in a person way, not a doctor way with terms that’s are difficult to me. She was blunt in a human way also. I wanted her to be realistic based on the size of investment. She was which I appreciated.
Describe the protocols Lisa Becht used in your cycles at HRC Fertility and their degree of success.
The doctor requested a lot of visits to test levels and adjusted medication accordingly. They actually producedgreat results in the growth of follicles. And over seeing the amount of medication helped me with the comfort level of the amount of hormones in my body.
Describe your experience with your nurse at HRC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Amanda )
Amanda was great, and patient with me because I forget to stay up-to-date with things like the calendar, so she was on top of it for me. The nursing staff was very friendly, and they got to you very quickly so the appointment didn’t take too long.
Describe your experience with HRC Fertility.
The clinic is very organized, they move through the appointments quickly which makes it easy to schedule and more comfortable. I like to be in and out of the doctors office.

Also make sure that you know your arms for blood draw, and let them know if the blood draws are uncomfortable.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Lisa Becht at HRC Fertility.
All treatments are different, some people require more or less medicine so that can vary the cost of a treatment, but it’s definitely over 10 K.

Dr. Nelson was efficient and great to work with. He was very thorough throughout the process to make sure timing and conditions were perfect. He answered our questions/provided guidance and was very trustworthy and organized. My only critique would be that I would have liked to get more of an overview of what to expect throughout the process. I felt like every appointment had a little surprise of something I wasn’t expecting for the future process...
Jolene [nurse at HRC Fertility] was a great communicator. She got back to every email very quickly. She made sure that my treatment and medication was clearly laid out for what I needed to do at any given time...The office was very clean, modern, classy, and organized...You will work with a few different people who specialize in different areas (billing etc…). I got in to appointments quickly. There was always different options for parking nearby...
How was your experience with Jeffrey Nelson at HRC Fertility?
My husband and I had our first appointment with Dr. Nelson last October 2021. We drove all the way from the Central Valley, because we wanted to make sure that we got excellent care. We were in good hands. Dr. Nelson was efficient and great to work with. He was very thorough throughout the process to make sure timing and conditions were perfect. He answered our questions/provided guidance and was very trustworthy and organized. My only critique would be that I would have liked to get more of an overview of what to expect throughout the process. I felt like every appointment had a little surprise of something I wasn’t expecting for the future process. Once expecting, Dr. Nelson was conservative in making sure that we did all possible to monitor help it stick.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jeffrey Nelson at HRC Fertility?
Ask for an overview of the process to avoid any surprises throughout the process.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jeffrey Nelson at HRC Fertility?
All of my questions were always answered by Dr. Nelson or his team the day of or after they were asked. The team was friendly and Dr. Nelson always had present conversation during each appointment.
Describe your experience with your nurse at HRC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Jolene)

~$30,000
Describe Jeffrey Nelson's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at HRC Fertility.
Dr. Nelson recommended a single embryo transfer due to my age and having done the genetic testing.

Dr. Chavkin is careful, very thorough, and data-driven...She encouraged us to seek second opinions when there were many options for next steps. After seeking a second opinion, we declined the treatment option she had initially proposed, and she adjusted the treatment plan accordingly. She was very realistic about all procedures and explained everything in understandable terms...know how much things cost before you agree to any procedures
Sometimes the nurses [at HRC Fertility] did not provide accurate information related to medication dosage. I also had to delay a cycle due to miscommunication about clinic holiday closures. I was told to schedule procedures with my health care providers, but then later told I didn't need them. I had to triple check all appointments to make sure they were still on the books, as they weren't always scheduled. I also had to triple check paperwork was sent to other clinics or pharmacies....
How was your experience with Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
Dr. Chavkin is careful, very thorough, and data-driven - everything you want with an IVF doctor. She encouraged us to seek second opinions when there were many options for next steps. After seeking a second opinion, we declined the treatment option she had initially proposed, and she adjusted the treatment plan accordingly. She was very realistic about all procedures and explained everything in understandable terms.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
Be your own advocate - don't be shy to ask questions, seek second opinions from reputable sources, discuss all options with Dr. Chavkin. If cost is an issue, know how much things cost before you agree to any procedures.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
In general, I felt like I was treated very well, but she didn't always keep in mind the cost of different procedures. She might suggest a procedure that would cost thousands and thousands of dollars just to see if something might be the case, even if it was a very low probability. In that way, it sometimes felt like I was just another paying customer. However, she adjusted after I communicated that these procedures would be thousands and thousands of dollars.
Describe the protocols Diana Chavkin used in your cycles at HRC Fertility and their degree of success.
I followed a relatively standard protocol for retrieval. For the transfers, the first two were pretty standard, and prior to the third, we would gone through a lot of testing, but opted to just try again, and it worked.
Describe your experience with your nurse at HRC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Stephanie Garcia)
Stephanie Garcia is amazing, but the other nurses I worked with prior to Stephanie were difficult to communicate with and sometimes gave me incorrect instructions. The other nurses also were not good at drawing blood (would have to poke multiple times).
Describe your experience with HRC Fertility.
I like that the clinic is relatively small and quiet. However, the nursing staff (besides Stephanie) could benefit from additional training related to patient interaction. But it is ok as long as you stay on top of things.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility.
The costs were reasonable/standard, but Dr. Chavkin ordered several extra tests to get more data.
Describe Diana Chavkin's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at HRC Fertility.
Strong preference for transferring 1 embryo, which we did for the first two transfers, and the third transfer included 2 embryos. We were informed of the risks of transferring 2.
What specific things went wrong at HRC Fertility?

Dr. Chavkin took us on as patients late in our process...She went our of her way to make sure all our questions were answered, and was very thorough with all paperwork and testing. In addition, she had a warm but very professional bedside manner, and I really appreciated this. Her steadiness really calmed me down on the day or our transfer as well...
I had nothing but good experiences with HRC West Los Angeles. They were professional, thorough, and I felt very well cared for with them. However, I previously saw a doctor at another HRC clinic in Westlake, and I did not have a good experience there...I don't think all the HRC clinics are the same...[nurses were] Very communicative, very good with email. The nurses who drew blood were absolutely lovely.....warm, supportive, and calming....

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
Dr. Chavkin is worth the drive....we lived almost an hour away, so it was not easy to get to her office, but she was so thorough and excellent that I'd say go ahead and make the drive if you can.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
Dr. Chavkin took us on as patients late in our process. We'd had a negative experience with a previous doctor, and were quite shaken when we met her. She was clear, honest, kind, and treated us with respect through the whole time with her.
Describe the protocols Diana Chavkin used in your cycles at HRC Fertility and their degree of success.
A lot of my treatment (egg retrievals for freezing, creating of embryos) was done with my first doctor. Dr. Chavkin took over right as we were preparing for our frozen embryo transfer. She managed my hormone levels, including my thyroid, with appropriate medications, always explaining what she was doing and why it was increasing my chances of a successful transfer. When conditions were optimal, she completed the Frozen Embryo Transfer and did all the follow up (Ultrasounds, bloodwork, medication management). Our transfer was successful, and we are so grateful because we only had one healthy embryo for transfer. She did not promise success, but made sure we knew she was doing everything she could to increase our chances of success.

Describe your experience with HRC Fertility.
I had nothing but good experiences with HRC West Los Angeles. They were professional, thorough, and I felt very well cared for with them. However, I previously saw a doctor at another HRC clinic in Westlake, and I did not have a good experience there. In that case, communication was way less clear and I was talked down to by the physician when I asked questions. I don't think all the HRC clinics are the same.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility.
Our payments went to two different doctors, as we did most of the prep work for the transfer with a different physician. Treatment with Dr. Chavkin was priced as expected, and once it was confirmed I was pregnant my visits were covered by my insurance (I did have to sign a waiver that I'd pay in full if insurance didn't cover, but they did, which was great)
Describe Diana Chavkin's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at HRC Fertility.
We only had one healthy embryo (and one undetermined). We did not want the possibility of twins, and did not want to transfer the undetermined embryo, which she supported

She [Dr. Chavkin] wasn't blunt in her delivery, but when it came to discussing any concerns she had, she was able to relay that information in a warm and comforting way. She was able to give me the reality of the situation without scaring me...I would see her at every appointment. She did all of my ultrasounds, which made me feel like she could actually be up to date about what's going on during my cycle and if there were any issues she'd be able to catch right away...
Joanna [nurse at HRC Fertility] was wonderful to work with. After every appointment, she'd email me updates on my blood work and instructions for the upcoming days, all which were very easy to follow. On the first day of my cycle, she called and walked me through everything that I would be taking in the first few days which helped to ease any fears I had...purchased the "egg freezing package" which included everything (medications, monitoring appts, lab work, and retrieval) and 2 years of storage. The cost for that was $13,000. After the 2 years the storage fee is $760 annually...
How was your experience with Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
Dr. Chavkin has a great bedside manner, which was very important to me given I was going through this process without a partner. She wasn't blunt in her delivery, but when it came to discussing any concerns she had, she was able to relay that information in a warm and comforting way. She was able to give me the reality of the situation without scaring me. I had consultations with other doctors and ultimately I decided to work with Dr. Chavkin because of this. Another thing that I appreciated about Dr. Chavkin was that I would see her at every appointment. She did all of my ultrasounds, which made me feel like she could actually be up to date about what's going on during my cycle and if there were any issues she'd be able to catch right away.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
You're not expected to automatically know and understand everything going on so don't be afraid to ask questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
I felt like Dr. Chavkin had an invested interest in the success of my cycle and she took the time to answer any questions I had to make sure I was understanding everything.
Describe your experience with your nurse at HRC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Joanna Truong)
Joanna was wonderful to work with. After every appointment, she'd email me updates on my blood work and instructions for the upcoming days, all which were very easy to follow.

Describe your experience with HRC Fertility.
Everyone in the clinic is very friendly. The nurse who does the blood draws was very pleasant every morning. All patients in cycle come in the mornings for ultrasounds and blood draws, and even though you might have to wait a little, it's nice seeing all these other women going through the same thing you are.

The dream package [at HRC Fertility] cover all visits, labs, medication, and procedures until pregnancy. The package is $28,000.

I also needed medication refills ending in $1200...Stephanie [nurse] was so sweet and kind. She was really compassionate and knows how to communicate excellently! Her emails made everything so easy to understand...
How was your experience with Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
Dr. Chavkin was great! In my fertility journey in the past, I felt like I was given the run around and no concrete plan. During my intake meeting with Dr. Chavkin, she told me directly that due to the amount of time that had passed and my fertility factors, my best chance for 3 children would be to do ivf. Ivf has given my husband and I comfort and insurance to know that we will have a family now and in the future. Ivf is a tough process, but Dr. Chavkin was great because she didn’t overwhelm me. We took each test and procedure step by step, with patience and optimism. I’m grateful because every step seemed to go by pretty quickly. The whole process from start to now has been about 4 months! I’m so happy and so grateful I found Dr. Chavkin because now our dream is coming true! Today I graduated from the clinic and I am 10 weeks pregnant! I’ve never been pregnant before and Dr. Chavkin with her experience and expertise made this happen for us.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
Be patient with the process, ask as many questions as you can each appt and have a positive attitude about your exciting new future
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility?
Dr. Chavkin is very knowledgeable and forthright. She answers any question you have with kindness and honesty to the best of her ability.
Describe the protocols Diana Chavkin used in your cycles at HRC Fertility and their degree of success.
I started this process using birth control to help suppress my reproductive system and prevent ovulation. For my medication for stimulating my eggs for retrieval, I was prescribed menopur, follistim, and a 3rd medication I forgot. Once my eggs were ready, I took a trigger shot, to stop my egg from dropping. I had my egg retrieval the next day. During my recovery I was given a steroid that helps to prevent OHSS. To prepare for transfer I was put back on birth control to help time the transfer. To prepare my womb for transfer, I was prescribed progesterone suppository and progesterone in oil shots, also estrace pills daily for the right balance of hormones to prepare for a baby.
Describe your experience with your nurse at HRC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Stephanie )
They are all literally the best!! Stephanie was so sweet and kind. She was really compassionate and knows how to communicate excellently! Her emails made everything so easy to understand. Jessica at the front desk is a sweetheart. I enjoyed seeing her face every visit. Maria the intake nurse is so kind and makes you feel very welcomed, we would be talking and laughing during my blood draws and my husband said you could hear us from the waiting room lol. Jamie from financial is very nice and pleasant with great energy. She doesn’t play about collecting that money though lol. Lastly, it is Joanna who is the new nurse replacing Stephanie. She is very nice and attentive. She has big shoes to fill, but she seems up for the challenge.
Describe your experience with HRC Fertility.
I purchased the dream package which was all inclusive. That was great but I do wish the package included medication for once you are pregnant. We must stay on the transfer medicine until week 13 of pregnancy
Describe the costs associated with your care under Diana Chavkin at HRC Fertility.
The dream package cover all visits, labs, medication, and procedures until pregnancy. The package is $28,000. After pregnancy I had to start paying out of pocket for medication, labs, and ultrasound which was $500 a visit, I had 4 ultrasounds post pregnancy confirmation, ending in $1750. I also needed medication refills ending in $1200
Describe Diana Chavkin's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at HRC Fertility.
I was told that the focus is to have a healthy baby. Based on my age and the fact that I had no previous losses, 1 embryo was the best choice. I do think that perspective parents should have the option to choose for themselves if they want more than one
