Aline Ketefian

As a patient I felt completely taken care of with Dr. K. I trusted her knowledge and opinion . If she thought something would help us or was concerned about something we went with her advice . I never felt like she didn't have our best interest in mind. We never thought we would need fertility treatment but we were so Thankful to have had Dr.K as our Doctor. She has been the best Doctor I have ever had .

ask every and any question you might have . I had a lot of anxiety about certain decision I had to make but I always felt better after Dr.K and I talked . I would just ask her for her honest opinion and what she would do . She always made sure I understood everything and that we had a plan for the next cycle that we were both comfortable with . We both had the same goal :)

I felt like a human due to DR. K 's daily attention to me and my questions. She was always willing to talk or answer any questions I had either during my appointments or through email and phone . WE made decisions together and she always gave me more than one option . She was honest yet sympathetic to the situation

everyone was great at USC. My primary nurse Elena was amazing . she was always so happy even at 630 in the morning. The rest of the staff was also great and so compassionate even on those negative pregnancy days. They always reminded me that we would try again and not give up. I always felt like a had a great team behind me cheering me on

The clinic was in a convenient area for me which was really nice . It was a block away from my job. There was always coffee and someone to greet you even at 5 am in the morning. The clinic was clean and very will decorated.

costs were expensive but actually very reasonable compared to other clinics . I think any type of medical out of pocket seems like a lot at first . I looked into other clinics and USC was actually one of the most reasonable

Her strengths include her ability to answer your questions thoroughly and patience with making sure your questions are answered. A drawback is that she won’t email you directly but answers through her nursing staff.

Come with questions because she will make sure you leave her appointment with a good understanding of your situation.

Doctors took time to answer my questions but other staff seemed cold and not as friendly. Dr Ketefian however always seemed to take her time and did not seem rushed. She never looked at the clock and was genuinely interested in answering all my questions.

I am Not sure of treatment strategies. It seems to be on an individual basis. I nsinly Did IUIs in her clinic which resulted in negative pregnancies. However, an additional follow up consultation was made to restrategize a new treatment plan.

I wish they can be more personable and remember your name. Every clinic visit resulted in a new nurse assignment.

the clinic’s strength is their ability to get you an appointment on time so that you don’t miss important cycle days. They respond really quickly with regards to emails. Their weaknesses include getting different providers every time you go in. At times, nurses appear unaware of who is taking which patient.

I have Dual coverage so i had A zero copay.

Ketefian has a warm and pleasant demeanor. She made this complicated and scary time in my life seem bearable. She was honest from the beginning and willing to put up the fight with us to conceive. I can tell she is passionate about what she does and how she helps so many people become parents.

I would say to be prepared with any questions because she will answer them. You can ask her to repeat if necessary. She wants you to understand everything as clear as possible.

She took the time to call me from her cell phone to give me some important news. This meant the world to me.

I have cysts on my one and only ovary and she made sure to contact the oncologist to ok the treatment of IUI. We see cloud and the shot to release the eggs both times. She said if it didn’t work we would up the medication of Clomid and shots. Now I am on this new cycle but haven’t yet started medication.

Always smiling, sweet and kind.

Wait times are reasonable. Easy to get a hold of when you need to speak to someone on the phone. If you leave a message hey call you back in a reasonable time. Clean facility. . Many appointment slots. Easy to be seen.

$143 every visit $8 clomid $90 trigger shot $190 insemination

She was very kind and gentle throughout the process. She was humble enough to consult with other doctors regarding our treatment. She takes time to make decisions regarding treatment, which I appreciated. Her care felt very individualized. She's a great communicator- quick to answer emails and take further action if needed. Her enthusiasm when she shared the good news with us was genuine and really sweet.

You may not see her for every appointment, but she will be there for all the important appointments.

She was very gentle in the way she spoke to me. Took time to answer all my questions. Didn't make me feel dumb for questions asked. I felt like she was really rooting for us.

Very professional, very well informed.

Love the set up- ultrasound, labs draws, procedure rooms all is in one place so it was very convenient. Only qualm is that parking is expensive, and they provide no validation.

Monitoring appointments are at 7am for Dr Ketefians patients. I was usually out of there by 7:20~7:30. Weekends are a time window and you're seen by the physician on call, so it's a bit more busy during that time.

Without any reservation, Dr. Ketefian is one of the finest physicians I have ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, and comforting. With the utmost warm demeanor, Dr. Ketefian patiently walked my anxious husband and me through the IVF process, ensuring that we felt comfortable every step of the way. She educated us of the pros and cons, while removing any anxiety we had. She consistently made herself available to answer all of our questions and did so with sincerity and warmth. With some luck and Dr. Ketefian’s skills, I was immediately impregnated after the first implantation. I truly believe that my experience with Dr. Ketefian made all the difference. Her bedside manner helped me stay relaxed and enthusiastic. She modeled her advice to laugh and be in good spirits which kept me optimistic throughout my IVF journey. Dr. Ketefian is a true gem and exceeded any expectation I had about the process. I would highly recommend her to all of my loved ones and anyone who is experiencing fertility issues. Dr. Ketefian is the ideal physician and we feel so blessed and fortunate to have her as our fertility doctor.

Trust Dr. Ketefian, she's amazing!

I froze my eggs, implanted them utilizing my husband's sperm and was pregnant after the 1st inplementation

They were very kind and thoughtful with answering all of my questions.

The clinic is clean, parking is easy, everyone was kind and friendly, and the doctors & staff are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend USC fertility to all of my friends, family and anyone experiencing fertility issues.

My insurance covers most of this, I paid the co-pays and remaining balance.
