She was extremely thorough in explaining what my treatment would entail and throughout the entire process, she would always check-in to ensure that I understood (I also appreciated the visuals she provided me with). Overall, I truly appreciated her gentle and compassionate presence and naturally her expertise. She embodies what you hope a doctor possesses (extreme competence, authenticity, and compassion), it is hard to find a doctor that has all these qualities.

She walked me through every scenario, what to expect next, etc. I honestly felt to at ease under her care. I knew I was in good hands. I think it helped that I had something to compare to as well - it was night and day. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor on my side
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
Don't be afraid to ask any, and all questions. You have to be your own advocate.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
Dr Lee was warm, always welcomed all questions I had. When I had my first consultation with her, I automatically felt at ease. The only reason I swayed and chose my original RE was solely due to years of experience. I thought logically, it would make sense to choose my former clinic based on that. Dr. Lee was fairly new to Spring. Long story short, I didn't have the best experience with my first RE. I felt like I was a number. After my first egg retrieval I decided to switch. My first call back at Spring, the care team made themselves available in giving me everything I needed to know re the process of transfer process. Communication with Dr Lee and her care team was always seamless. Someone was always available to answer my questions via email or call.
Describe the protocols Malinda Lee used in your cycles at Spring Fertility and their degree of success.
The clinic is known for mid-luteal protocol. We had a very good success with this. Had 15 follicles at baseline, ultimately, 13 retrieved, 12 mature, 8 blasts, total of 4 euploid. Dr. Lee changed my dosage as needed to synchronize the growth of each follicle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Spring Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Jill)
Dr Lee's care team was great! There was a little mishap with my pharmacy and my brand only preference but other than that, everything was seamless. Both Jill & Natalie were a joy to work with. Always answered my emails/calls within the same day, super informative, attentive, & helpful.
Describe your experience with Spring Fertility.
The Sunnyvale location is fairly new but you couldn't tell the difference in their operations. Clean, modern, and very warm. All the team members we encountered were always so positive, authentic, caring. As the clinic is growing, there seems to be a new face/addition but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I never really had to wait more than 5 minutes for any of my appointments.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility.
I have insurance coverage - didn't have had to deal with majority of the cost outside of deductible/OOP max

How was your experience with Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
Dr. Lee is the most perfect combination of intelligent, kind, proactive, caring, knowledgeable and experienced. Graduating from her care and moving on to an OB was the most bittersweet experience. If I could have Dr Lee as my OB, primary care and the pediatrician for my daughter, that would be the absolute best.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
Don’t hesitate! Once my blood tests came back normal at my primary care dr, I was told to wait until it had been a year before looking into fertility issues. As someone who hadn’t ovulated once in 5 months, I didn’t want to do that because I knew something was wrong. Dr. Lee looked into things that other doctors missed, and we were extremely blessed to be successful in our first cycle (even through Dr. Lee made it clear that we would take these steps for the first 3-6 cycles, and that it’s normal for it to take some time).

How was your experience with Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
Dr. Lee is very smart and practiced so I trust her at the beginning of the consultation. Then, we decide to work with her immediately which is the best decision we've made. Dr. Lee makes the best plan for my IVF treatment and instructs us step by step. I feel happy and warm during every visit. Dr. Lee is my lucky angel, it couldn't work without her effort. After half year treatment (including retreaval and transfer), I am pregant and have several best embryos for future babies. Dr.Lee's magic work is much byond our expectation!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
Working with Dr. Lee is very simple, just trust her and the whole team. Follow all the instructions and relax! IVF treatment can be a happy journey.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
Dr. Lee is super nice and cares about us. She knows every detail of my case, and always makes the best plan for the treatment. Furthermore, I feel very comfortable during the whole process. No pain, no side effects, I am as healthy as a natural pregnant woman. Moreover, Dr. Lee leads her team professionally and builds up good relationships with patients. They give me detailed instructions and follow-ups all the time which makes the IVF treatment clear and easy. I am so impressed that every staff in the clinic I've met is specialized and passionate. It's my greatest honor to work with Dr. Lee and her team because they truly take good care of me. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and absolutely trust Spring Fertility.

The results of the two retrieves are surprises- we have several best quality embryos. I use Ovidrel and Medrol for transfer. Embryo transfer is much easier than retrieval. I am pregnant after the transfer and the baby is very healthy and strong.

with her [Dr. Lee] protocol, in one round of egg retrieval I got 16 eggs, and in the end got 3 blastocysts passed PGT-A (all are AA/AB level). This is already way better than my previous 4 rounds of egg retrieval results combined!!!!! Also not mentioning that she did every single ultrasound with her own hands, and never missed any one. And yes she did my egg retrieval surgery and egg transfer herself as well. All my questions got patiently answered along the way...
Spring fertility clinic is very efficient and well organized. The clinic is trying hard to provide a warm and caring environment for all of the patients. The doctors here are top notch yet caring as well. Comparing with many other clinics, Spring fertility would teach you how to prepare to max your chance for success, including eating Q10, exercise, sleep well, acupuncture, etc...
How was your experience with Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
I was lucky to find Dr. Lee who finally ended the IVF journey for me, who is generally healthy, volunteered to do IVF to have a baby efficiently (and also egg freezing to save some hope for future), but unfortunately failed even egg retrievals for 4 times in the past 1 year with another well-known clinic. Being 36Y old, with AMH 5.15, FSH normal, AFC 10+ plus totally normal health check up results & generic carrier screening results, I thought my IVF case would be a fairly easy one. But unfortunately I had to go through the egg retrieval process for 4 times with prior clinic, which was totally unexpected. But it is also fortunate that I gained enough experience to compare, and thus confident to tell, what would a good doctor looks like. I don’t want to spend too much time to describe what I experienced with the previous clinic but just let the numbers speak. In the previous clinic, under the protocol defined by a very famous, experienced yet busy doctor, 4 egg retrieval circles in total, I got 26 eggs, 15+ fertilized, and ended up with only 2 D5 blastocysts passed PGT-A (1BB and 1CC). Each time the doctor defined the egg retrieval plan a few months beforehand, never showed up in any of my ultrasounds, and even the final trigger time was what his interns decided based on the doctor’s notes which was written 1 months ago. Every time when I got the upset results and want to discuss further with the doctor, I can only got the time spot like 3~4 weeks later, and for the 30 minutes session the doctor was always 20~25 minutes late. During the rest 5~10 minutes, he just read my charts to refresh his own memory but not be able to provide any more information beyond that. What finally triggered me to change doctor was because the last time I asked again why the egg retrieval results are not as good as expected, the doctor said, “It is just your body acting like age 42 which we can’t help with that at all. But the protocol is already the best solution and we will repeat again next time”. As someone who is fairly confident about her health condition (I work out A LOT) and actively doing research (even though I am not medical background) I don’t buy in that conclusion at all. I wanted to seek for the second opinion. I located Dr. Lee from Spring fertility clinic not by testing my luck again (like I did with the first clinic) but through very careful research of all the major fertility clinics in the bay area this time. I did check the success rate and talked to multiple doctors from different clinics. There are for sure many other famous clinics than Spring fertility, but none of them could start my treatment plan as efficiently as Spring fertility (most would need to wait for a few more months because they are already busy). And there are many doctors who are more experienced than Dr Lee, but none of them is more patient than Dr Lee to listen to my whole experience, to be willing to read my hundreds of charts carefully, to spend time doing more research to customize the protocol, and to dare to give totally different opinions against the prior doctor. I was very clear of what I need this time – I don’t need even bigger clinic names or even more famous doctor, I just need doctor who is knowledgeable enough, and yet caring enough for my case. “I believe there is a customized IVF plan for each patient” - Some doctor just say it, but some really show you the action. Dr Lee is the latter one. I bet on her, and I won this time. My experience with Spring fertility clinic and Dr Lee was excellent, especially when comparing with my previous upsetting experience. Dr Lee spent quality time to understand my charts carefully, and gave totally different protocol (and it works well this time!). Again – let numbers talk – with her protocol, in one round of egg retrieval I got 16 eggs, and in the end got 3 blastocysts passed PGT-A (all are AA/AB level). This is already way better than my previous 4 rounds of egg retrieval results combined!!!!! Also not mentioning that she did every single ultrasound with her own hands, and never missed any one. And yes she did my egg retrieval surgery and egg transfer herself as well. All my questions got patiently answered along the way, and currently when I am typing for this article, I am happily 12-week pregnant. My body condition didn’t change; but what changed the result? It is not the medical knowledge the doctors have, but also the time and effort they are willing to spend on you. Dr Lee has the best medical education and training background that any doctor would admire and she no doubt has enough medical knowledge to do the IVF job. And what’s more important is she works hard, she understands and cares about your suffer, and she treats you as a woman, but not just a number. I highly recommend Dr Lee to anyone who is seeking IVF treatment. You need a good and caring doctor to maximize the opportunity to success since the IVF is a tough and expensive journey. Do some more research on your clinic and doctor before you invest; and hope my experience above could help you to save some effort, emotion, and dollars.

Dr. Lee was always ready to answer any questions I had during the treatment and followed up with me on the phone when necessary. Her care team was also very helpful and replied to emails promptly. When my medication had problems with the delivery, they assisted immediately...I am quite petite so I was on a low dose of injectable medication in my treatment. The results were very close to what the doctor told me. And I was explained that every cycle could have slightly different results.
My primary nurse [at Spring Fertility] was excellent. She spent time with me in person to go through the approach of doing self-injection. She helped me out when my medication delivery had problems. My care coordinator, Vander, was also wonderful. He was well organized, responded to emails promptly, and was a good communicator...Easy to schedule. Flexible to reschedule if you have conflicts...If your monitor appointment or egg retrieval is scheduled on the weekends, you may have a chance to meet another on-duty doctor other than your primary doctor.
How was your experience with Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
Dr. Lee was patient to answer all questions I had and explained clearly. She always showed up with a smile and compassion. If I needed her, she would schedule a call with me and follow up in our next meet. As the clinic had an on-duty doctor on weekends (it might not be her), she would make sure I was being taken good care of by another doctor.

If your monitor appointment or egg retrieval is scheduled on the weekends, you may have a chance to meet another on-duty doctor other than your primary doctor.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Spring Fertility.
Easy to schedule. Flexible to reschedule if you have conflicts. Appointments went smoothly.

Dr. Lee takes the time to fully understand your history and discuss your specific situation with you. She is extremely knowledgeable and is able to explain things on both a high and detailed level. Although my partner and I (both persons with advanced degrees) had done extensive research before deciding on Dr. Lee, we remained continually impressed with her excellent mix of professionalism and bedside manner. She exceeded expectations...
No wait times, easy scheduling, clean and modern facilities. I liked the fact that while you had a primary physician [at Spring Fertility], you were able to schedule visits with other doctors (all great) to adjust to your schedule. My partner and I both work 80 plus hour weeks so this was very helpful. Regardless of whom I saw, Dr. Lee (my primary doctor) was always on top of my file and tried to accommodate me every time despite my extremely strict schedule
How was your experience with Malinda Lee at Spring Fertility?
We really could not recommend her more. If I could have been her patient through delivery, I would have done so immediately! Even as my husband and I were navagating various issues outside of her speciality, I ended up going back to get her input on an unofficial basis as there was not any person whose opinion I respected more. My primary doctor is wonderful, but there is no comparison. The way Dr. Lee approaches responses is, for me, the perfect mix of compassion, caring and technical knowledge.

Describe the protocols Malinda Lee used in your cycles at Spring Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Lee suggested we start with timing our intercourse for the best conception window. Dr. Lee also suggested we try IUI at the same time as this would allow us to increase our chances of conception and move through the process more quickly. This strategy ended up working for us on the first try.
