Dr Lee was always present and took his time...he cared about me physically mentally and emotionally. And at one point even offered that he was there if I needed to talk when I was going through a lot of stress...I like that he sits like he is not in a rush, it shows you how present he is...We did two cycles of clomed And it looked like I had ovulated but the blood tests showed that I hadn't. We went to injectables and I didn't respond in a typical way and over time we increased from one to three vials. I basically got pregnant every time we did a cycle after that change. But I had 2 miscarriages and 2 pregnancies. I also had to use endometrium and ovulation shots and IUIs.
[The staff at Fertility Care of Orange County] all very friendly and personable. Nicole at the front desk is all smiles and has an answer to all my questions.I needed Lauren to send my charts to another doctor and she not only emailed me but also called me to follow up on needing me to sign the medical release so that she could get it done for me...Their strengths is how much they care and how efficient they are, what else can you ask for. The only weakness I can think of is on one of my miscarriages she was So nice and subtle about the blood test that I wasn't clear that it definitely wasn't going to hold.

A lot of doctors it feels like their job is just routine and they want to get in and they want to get out. Doctor Lee is clearly happy to be there, happy to help, there for you good or bad. He just cares And it is so obvious. He is very informative, supportive, and respectful. He always sits down And asked you if you have any other questions and shows you that he is present and nothing else in that moment is more important to him. I like that he sits like he is not in a rush, it shows you how present he is.

Anytime you need medication it is done immediately, they understand how urgent it is. They have an important job and they are all on it. Sarah is always there making my little one smile. I wish I could remember all of their names but they all work very hard. They all seem very invested and happy for you.

How was your experience with C. Terence Lee at Fertility Care of Orange County?
Incredible bedside manor and a fun/easy way of explaining things which I really needed during such a stressful time in my life. Always left his office with hope.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of C. Terence Lee at Fertility Care of Orange County?

Describe your experience with your nurse at Fertility Care of Orange County. (Assigned nurse: Mey (love her) and Jacqueline who moved away :()
There are no words to how amazing his nursing staff is. Mey would call me back or email me at any hour of the day or night and talk me down if I was panicking. Incredibly sweet. I also got very close to Jacqueline but she moved up north recently. I literally cried while hugging her on her last day.

Describe C. Terence Lee's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Fertility Care of Orange County.
He always left it up to us but he gave his advice. First 4 transfers were PGT with 2 miscarriages, one chemical and one negative. I have unexplained infertility and my husband also had extremly low sperm count. For our last transfer he advised to do 2 embryos for the first time and he wanted to do both untested. Ended up with my miracle baby boy. He always had his next move planned out. I know I was an extremely hard case.

Dr. Lee takes a comprehensive approach, looking at many aspects of your life rather than just medical history. I felt like I was really heard and my preferences and comfort were taken into account in developing a treatment plan.... Strong communicator and willing to be flexible with your plan based on what works for you. He explained every step as he went so you truly get an idea of what is going on and what is to come. He listened to all concerns, answered all questions, and told us to call any time we had additional questions.
It [Fertility Care of OC] is a small office where the entire staff knows your name. You can get in quickly and you never wait more than a few minutes to be seen.... It’s a little more costly than others, but appears to have better results. You also have greater access to the nursing staff and doctor than other clinics. They’re up front about costs and checking with your insurance to see what is covered. I really like that it’s a small team and they can get you in without having to wait months on end.

A very nice doctor [Dr. Lee]. My husband really liked him..Dr. Lee has recommended us to go the I ivf rought...He did all the ultrasounds and iui. He seems busy. But that's a good thing. I loved how he throughly looked over my paper work on my initial visit...I appreciate him not throwing a ton of unnecessary tests at me. Like a doctor before him had. I especially love how small and uncommercial his office is. Not a stuffy place that treats you like big Business...I felt human. However it is still a business and he seems busy

Bring all of your paperwork from previous diagnosis so he can look over. Trust him he is good at his job

I felt human. However it is still a business and he seems busy
Describe the protocols C. Terence Lee used in your cycles at Fertility Care of Orange County and their degree of success.
I did a stimulated iui cycle using clomid and Gonal-F. I produced 8 eggs. Four on each side. I have a blocked tube on one side so we were hoping the other side would catch something. Unfortunately it was unsuccessful. Dr. Lee has recommended us to go the I ivf rought. Starting soon. Once financial arrangements are figured out.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The girls are sweet. A little young and still learning. That's what I got from some. You can hear them on the phone with other patients. once I heard the nurse trying to explain to a patient that her insurance doesn't cover anything. After she hung up she was mumbling with the other nurses about it. The nurse could have had a little more compassion. But I'm sure it can be trying to have the same conversation daily with new patients.

Dr. Lee was very to the point, honest and eased my anxiety at every appointment. When I was unsure of my IVF protocol due to a low amount of follicles he reassured me that things were fine. I'm glad I listened to him and didn't cancel my cycle.... I did the "normal" antagonist protocol with lupron, bravelle and an HCG trigger. Dr. Lee also recommends ICSI for all his patients as well as assisted hatching. He also had me use an HCG trigger throughout my frozen embryo cycle to mimic ovulation. He also highly recommended PGS testing, which we had done on our 5 embryos. We are so happy we did because one of our 5AA graded embryos was nonviable, therefore he prevented me from having a miscarriage, had that embryo been transferred.
I never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my appointment [at Fertility Care of OC], Dr. Lee conducted all of my ultrasounds/egg retrieval and egg transfer. I worked with one nurse while at his clinic.... $5,800.00 for PGS testing, $14,000 for the IVF/Frozen Transfer/Ultrasounds and bloodwork, $6,000 for IVF medication, $2,500.00 for FET medication.... can't remember how many times Julie [the nurse] calmed me down and prevented tears!

He does some out of the box protocols and trust him with his knowledge. Also know that he works with the number one lab and embryologists in the area. He is also up to date with the most recent research and due to this only performs frozen embryo transfers since there is a higher success rate.

Honesty, compassionate staff and doctor, never having to wait more then 10 minutes for your appointment and having Dr. Lee present at every appointment.

Dr. Lee took note of personal factors about each of us and related stories and plans specifically to us. My husband played baseball and he would use baseball terms. We were both educators and he would relate things to teaching. He made us feel like he personally cared and we mattered to him/his team... he was personally going through treatment with a surrogate to conceive his own child with a donor egg. He could personally and professionally relate. He was transparent and vulnerable. He remembered small details about us and references them in future appointments. He truly cared for us and our treatment/future success.
[Fertility Care of Orange County is] Easy to find, flexible appointment scheduling, quick response time, clean space in a private environment. Parking was convenient and easy. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like we asked a million questions with every appointment and they patiently and appropriately addressed each one....We had one timing miscommunication with the nursing staff during an IUI cycle with injectibles and a nurse had erroneously told us the office would be closed for the holidays and we would have to repeat the cycle. We were devastated! I sent an email directly to Dr. Lee expressing my frustration and he immediately cleared things up and they were in fact available to do my IUI during the holiday. He appropriately handled the nurse who’d miscommunicated and we felt comfortable moving forward.

He [Dr. Lee] spent over an hour for our initial consultation and made us feel important and heard. I felt like he could easily rush us but he didn’t....My experience was that he was extremely thorough and during his assessment, he got to know us as a couple before anything else. I almost felt like it was a couples marital session. He is very gentle in his approach.
The waiting room [Fertility Care of Orange County] is average. Nice office building. Front desk fairly nice, always smiles. The nurses had some miscommunication but nothing major. First session was on time. Second the doctor was running 30 minutes late but the doctor is very thorough so it is understandable.... The initial consultation includes an ultrasound and was almost half less than two other clinics I had contacted.

We have not done actual treatment yet as our only option is IVF and we’re saving money for it. He has been trying to see if I potentially have cysts so he prescribed birth control due to my irregular cycle in order to assess. He also made me feel that my own diagnosis of endometriosis is probably likely which explains so much that I was not aware of in the past 15 years.

My first impression was he [Dr. Terrance Lee] seemed rushed although he explained the process. I assume due to his success rate, his plate is full. I can't tell if he was really genuine or if I was just a number.... I was diagnosed with PCOS. He put me on a very strict diet. The process has been successful in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and improving issues with my egg quality.
Very organized, staff are friendly, seems promising.... This facility [Fertility Care of Orange County] is very legit. I feel and see progress each time. Hope is gained, not lost.... About 800 out of pocket for IUI if your insurance deductable has not been met. IVF meds alone would be 4000-6000 depending on your body. 2500 for genetic testing. All else depends on your insurance.

Very organized, staff are friendly, seems promising. I've been to another fertility specialist for 2-3 years and not once did he take a ultrasound! That's standard!
