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.

She has been our biggest cheerleader.. our daughter was born with a genetic defect despite PGS testing and passed away at 7 weeks. She has taken good care of us, treated us gently and helped us explore all options when it comes to growing our family after our loss. ... Do your home work.. she’s extremely intelligent, and I’ve found that it’s easier to communicate when you have done your research.
They [American Repro Ctr] don’t communicate well.. they didn’t go over my chart on the first visit and made me re tell stories of my loss. They don’t work with any financial Institutions for loans or grants for fertility. The only reason we are at the clinic is dr ghazal is there. The actual office is fine, with tiny rooms for meetings and consults. Given the nature of the conversations it can feel Claustrophobic in the rooms.

Since the first appointment with Dr. Ghazal we felt we could fully trust her and the clinic. She took the time to listen to our story and understand our explanations, and provided us with a clear path forward. She was always available for follow-up calls and clarifications. Most importantly, we never felt alone in this journey and fully trusted her and her knowledge. We are so grateful we found Dr. Ghazal
The [RISE Fertility] clinic is clean and so welcoming (with an amazing view of the water!). The staff is friendly and the appointment times always respected. This made our journey so much easier...Heidi has been an amazing nurse and provided so much support during our journey! She always took the time to listen to our doubts, answered questions timely and was always there to cheer for us! We love her!

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sanaz Ghazal at RISE Fertility?
Dr. Ghazal has always taken the time to listen to me and my husband and addressed our questions and concerns thoroughly and with great empathy. This is so rare to find in the works of fertility treatments!
Describe the protocols Sanaz Ghazal used in your cycles at RISE Fertility and their degree of success.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis and came to Dr. Ghazal after a few failed IUI cycles. Dr. Ghazal went straight to the point and advised that IUI wasn’t the most effective strategy in my case. We decided to move forward with hormonal stimulation and egg retrieval, and that went according to expectations! We retrieved 10 eggs of which 6 resulted in normal and great quality embryos (she recommended PGT testing).I also had barely any side effects. I wanted to address my endo before the transfer, and Dr. Ghazal was open about it. Thus, I first did a laparoscopy which resulted in the removal of several adhesions. After that, Dr. Ghazal motivated me to start the hormonal protocol for the transfer and we transferred a day 5 embryo which resulted in my very first pregnancy!

Describe the costs associated with your care under Sanaz Ghazal at RISE Fertility.
Treatment Costs were almost entirely covered my insurance. I was responsible for copays ($25 each visit) and for the out of pocket cost of egg retrieval and embryos conservation (around $12K)
