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. Goldstein is very compassionate, caring and most importantly she treats you with utmost sincerity and humanity. She's a wonderful communicator. Easy to understand and easy to follow. Throughout my journey we tried all types of treatment and combination of medication, every time holding out for hope. Dr. Goldstein told me as long as I was willing to continue she will be by my side and that's all I could ask for.
Billing department [at Beverly Hills Fertility] is very difficult to deal with. They don't help you with much, they are just there to charge you for your visits. No assistance to you if you need it on your end. Nurses are nice but you will need to call them and remind them of certain things...Somre had better experience at things such as taking blood work, remembering to send you certain paperwork.

Dr. Goldstein is the most accessible and communicative doctor I've ever experienced. I sent her dozens of emails throughout my treatment and always received a response from her directly, often within minutes and always on the same day...She performed all my ultrasounds herself and was present for all my appointments, outside of when I just needed to come in for blood work. I felt like she got to know me as a person and was with me emotionally through the highs and lows of my IVF treatment. I felt like she really cared about helping us to achieve our family goals as a human and not just as our doctor.
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] clinic is clean, brand new and beautiful. I felt very confident in the lab and the main embryologist Dr. Liu. This was important for me because they are a new clinic and there was no data for me to look at prior to choosing them as my clinic...I appreciated having a specific nurse designated to me for my treatments. It was helpful because I knew that they were aware of my situation and were present throughout the IVF process and for the majority of my appointments. I thought both Christina and Mariam were excellent nurses and appreciated that they were there for me to help answer questions, teach me how to use the medications, and were cc'd on all email communications I had with Dr. Goldstein.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is a caring and skilled doctor and I felt like I was in great hands every step of the way. She is clearly very intelligent and well educated, which made me feel comfortable that she was up to date on the latest scientific research and protocols. What I also really appreciated about her is her bedside manner, and her obvious care for her patients. Fertility treatment is a very emotional, challenging process with lots of ups and downs, and I felt like Dr. Goldstein was very present with me throughout the whole experience. I also appreciated that when it came down to the science, she was very straightforward and didn't sugarcoat things, but communicated it in an empathic, caring way. This was helpful for me because it allowed me to really trust her and know that she wasn't going to try and spin things to sound positive just to make me happy, but that she would be fully honest with me. I really felt like I needed an attentive doctor who would sort of hold my hand through the process, but also be very skilled as a doctor and Dr. Goldstein is the perfect combination of both these qualities.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is the most accessible and communicative doctor I've ever experienced. I sent her dozens of emails throughout my treatment and always received a response from her directly, often within minutes and always on the same day. I never got the impression that I was bothering or inconveniencing her, even with my occasional anxious late-night emails. She performed all my ultrasounds herself and was present for all my appointments, outside of when I just needed to come in for blood work. I felt like she got to know me as a person and was with me emotionally through the highs and lows of my IVF treatment. I felt like she really cared about helping us to achieve our family goals as a human and not just as our doctor.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I have DOR, so Dr. Goldstein had me start with estrogen priming for both my retrievals. She then had me on 150iu of Menopur, 225iu of Gonal-F for stimulation of the ovaries. She then prescribed Ganirelix for the last 5 days prior to the trigger shot. She utilized an HcG trigger. This was the same protocol for both my egg retrievals.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Christina and Mariam)
I appreciated having a specific nurse designated to me for my treatments. It was helpful because I knew that they were aware of my situation and were present throughout the IVF process and for the majority of my appointments. I thought both Christina and Mariam were excellent nurses and appreciated that they were there for me to help answer questions, teach me how to use the medications, and were cc'd on all email communications I had with Dr. Goldstein. Christina was assigned to me for my first retrieval and then Mariam took over for me for my second retrieval. I did wish that it was communicated to me more clearly that I would be switching over from Christina to Mariam, but I figured it out and it ended up being fine.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
The clinic is clean, brand new and beautiful. I felt very confident in the lab and the main embryologist Dr. Liu. This was important for me because they are a new clinic and there was no data for me to look at prior to choosing them as my clinic. I felt like I had great results considering I yield so few eggs per retrieval. I did switch insurance companies at the beginning of the year, and my new insurance company (Blue Shield) was not in-network with the clinic which was a bit of a bummer once I became pregnant. So I ended up paying for each OB related ultrasound out of pocket, which would have been fully covered with my insurance had it been accepted. I did find out from the billing department that they are in process of getting paneled with Blue Shield and that will probably happen this year. It was a small price to pay though for getting successfully pregnant and I'd happily pay that three times over if I had to again for a successful pregnancy. That really was the only downside I can think of regarding the clinic overall.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
Insurance covered my first egg retrieval cycle, medications, PGS testing, and FET in full. We paid for the second IVF cycle (including egg retrieval & FET) out-of-pocket, which was $13,350 plus the cost of medications. We ended up paying about $2000 for PGS testing in addition, plus some smaller fees for anesthesia and cryopreservation of embryos. Then once pregnant I paid $250 per ultrasound for OB care since they were not in-network with my new insurance at that point. IVF treatment is expensive, but it's all pretty on-par with other similar clinics in the area.

Dr. Goldstein treats you the way no one else I've ever met treats a patient. When you're going through treatment with her, she makes it seem like you and your partner the only people in the world she is treating. She's kind, empathetic, friendly, and humanistic... She answers all your questions so well. She's a master of her craft. I can go on writing this for days. Words can never suffice, she's really plain incredible.
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] clinic is state of the art. Location is amazing. It's brand new, clean, and spacious. Everything is under one roof. It's gorgeous, you will love it. The waiting area is so nice. There are plenty of exam rooms. There are conference rooms/offices for deep discussions so you don't have to have them in the exam room. The procedure rooms are beautiful. The surgery center is within the facility, which is great. We both really loved it there.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is an ideal human and physician. She's kind, patient, empathetic, friendly, and humanistic. She's a great listener and humanistic. She is generous with her time, and available no matter what. Dr. Goldstein did what was best for us every step of the way. She came in when she was sick, when her kid was in the hospital and her husband was out of town. She treated us like giving us the thing we wanted so badly was the only thing in the world that she wanted. She explains everything so clearly. Her vibe is so comforting in an otherwise anxiety-provoking time. She answers all your questions so well. She's a master of her craft. I can go on writing this for days. Words can never suffice, she's really plain incredible.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Absolutely positively go to her, don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Trust her and embrace her, and she'll work miracles for you. Going to her is the best decision you'll ever make in your life.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein treats you the way no one else I've ever met treats a patient. When you're going through treatment with her, she makes it seem like you and your partner the only people in the world she is treating. She's kind, empathetic, friendly, and humanistic. She sits with you in her office in chairs at a table and gives you all the time in the world to hear you out about anything and everything, and address all your concerns. She's kind. She's sweet. She's always available. Nobody in my life in any service, medical or otherwise, has made me feel like more of a human than Dr. Goldstein.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Goldstein used the best IVF regimen for my wife's body to help maximize our chances of a healthy baby. She never cut corners or did what would be fastest to get us through the clinic, or make the most money off of us. She used Follistim and Menpour prior to egg retrival, then the following month, timed the embryo transfer to mimic the natural time fertilization and implantation would occur.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra)
The nursing staff and Alondra in particular made us feel like family from day 1. They were always available. They knew us by first name basis right off the bat. They were kind and friendly. When you're going through this process, you go to the office and see these people almost every day for a few months. The nursing staff made it feel like we were going home to see family every day. They were happy for us like our own family was when we got the good news.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I won't get into specifics, but Dr. Goldstein's pricing is very competitive. They walk you through all the numbers in a dedicated financing session, which is really helpful. Worth every single cent.
Describe Ellen Goldstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Beverly Hills Fertility.
Dr. Goldstein was so confident in her work, and she deserves to be. Based on our genetic testing, she said our success rate would be high, therefore since we strongly wanted to avoid the chance of multiples, we transferred a single embryo. Dr. Goldstein always does what you want and what's in your best interest. For us, that was a single baby, and that's what she made happen.

Dr Goldstein was wonderful and compassionate...was at every appointment and even came in on a Sunday morning for me once...resulted in 3 pgt test embryos...did a true natural cycle with progesterone support. It worked!...took the time to explain and answer my questions. She was confident and kind...Safer not to risk twins was the thought here...went out of her way to help and I can’t explain how important that is when going through ivf.
[Beverly Hills Fertility] is wonderful. Dr Goldstein is at every appointment. Even when it’s busy, you will never wait too long. Almost every appointment I was brought in right at my appointment time. There is easy parking! The lab is great! There are wonderful people there!...Wonderful people, communicative and warm and professional...14,000 for the retrieval and ivf process
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr Goldstein was wonderful and compassionate. She said that, going there, I had a clean slate. I had had 3 failed embryo transfers of pgt tested embryos and I was told I had to have a battery of new tests and go on lupron for two months and…. I was overwhelmed. Having a clean slate with someone made me feel so relieved. She was at every appointment and even came in on a Sunday morning for me once… the office was completely empty. She went out of her way to help and I can’t explain how important that is when going through ivf.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
To trust her!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
In a city filled with doctors who are overworked, sick of women’s endless repetitive questions and have the pressure to see more patients than they can handle, Dr Goldstein took the time to explain and answer my questions. She was confident and kind. I was a basket case by the time I found her, and it was the first time in over a year of fertility treatment that I felt safe during my procedures and appointments.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
We used menopur, and follistim and gonal (interchangeable medications). I had a really… lovely retrieval. It was honestly wonderful. She kept me off omnitrope, she didn’t think it was necessary to add extra medications. This resulted in 3 pgt test embryos. She believed I would be fine on a natural cycle, despite the 3 previous transfer failures, as I ovulated naturally and had had a previous natural pregnancy. I think she thought it was possible the three failures were based in some kind of error on timing. We did a true natural cycle with progesterone support. It worked!

Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
It was about 14,000 for the retrieval and ivf process. I had to pay for the medications as well, but I already had some left over from other cycles with different doctors so I don’t know the exact price. The embryo transfer was another nominal cost. I did not pay close attention to the costs at this point, but it seemed similar for clinics in the area.

Dr. Goldstein is without a doubt the best Doctor I have ever worked with. Her level of care is unmatched...is so easy to speak to and has such a high level of knowledge and care...follows up on things immediately, and never leaves you wondering...timed intercourse, medication, and a trigger shot for IUI
[At Beverly Hills Fertility] The office staff was so organized. Anytime we needed anything, someone was there to provide it instantaneously....never confusion about appointments, cost, etc....was so friendly, clean, ON TIME, and always had snacks and water in the waiting room, which was a fun touch!
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
There are not enough good words I can use to describe my experience with Dr. Goldstien and her staff at Beverly Hills Fertility. Dr. Goldstien spent a large chunk of time with my initial consult and truly made sure she understood me as a person as well as my needs and issues. She was so easy to talk to, yet she was also so knowledgeable; answering any and every question I had with such patience and kindness. She won't BS you or try to have you do anything unnecessary. She made such a scary experience honestly feel SO easy and seamless. Dr. Goldstien herself is truly one of a kind Doctor and person. We saw her after having some doubts with our last fertility specialist. Dr. Goldstien made our doubts completely go away, as well as found out another issue, gave such attentiveness to the issue, and got me pregnant FIRST TRY. She also replies to emails what feels like instantaneously. She answers all questions honestly and calmly. She is brilliant and knowledgeable in what she does, but is so calm and easy to talk to. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Goldstein and Beverly Hills Fertility to anyone embarking on this journey. Their commitment to excellence, coupled with the compassionate care ensures an experience that goes beyond medical treatment. I feel so grateful to be pregnant, and will never forget the amazing level of care I received through this office.

Trust in Dr. Goldstein's advice and recommendations. She truly cares about her patients and takes the time and effort to provide them with personalized care...She gave me a sense of comfort and confidence in my fertility journey...Dr. Goldstein was there for every one of our appointments and explained what was happening very clearly. We were very fortunate that our first IUI cycle worked and could not thank her enough.
The [Beverly Hills Fertility] clinic was brand new and had state of the art equipment and technology. I got used to seeing my ultrasounds on a huge TV which was a change when I graduated to a normal OBGYN. Easily parking and check-in process...Very compassionate and responsive [nurses]. If they didn't respond, Dr. Goldstein would jump in, which I appreciated...Dr. Goldstein was there for every one of our appointments and explained what was happening very clearly. We were very fortunate that our first IUI cycle worked and could not thank her enough.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I could not recommend Dr. Goldstein highly enough. I had a rough start to my fertility journey after finding out that a previous ovarian cyst removal caused significantly diminished AMH levels (<0.2 for early 30s) and a very low follicle count. I was at a different fertility clinic (large franchise) and both the level of care and bedside manner was terrible - wanted me to do IVF ASAP and told me my poor test results over a voicemail and the first appointment was weeks later before I could discuss with this doctor. I'm so glad I found FertilityIQ and actually shopped around for the right doctor for my needs. When I met Dr. Goldstein, it was a complete 180. When I told her of my unique situation, she explained the treatment options and how she would recommend a tailored approach, which was to actually start with IUI vs IVF, given my low follicle count. She gave me a sense of comfort and confidence in my fertility journey. When we started the IUI cycle, I would email her whenever I had a question and she or her nurse would respond within the day. Dr. Goldstein was there for every one of our appointments and explained what was happening very clearly. We were very fortunate that our first IUI cycle worked and could not thank her enough.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Trust in Dr. Goldstein's advice and recommendations. She truly cares about her patients and takes the time and effort to provide them with personalized care.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I had started my fertility journey with a different doctor that made me feel like a number. He wanted me to start on IVF without considering my unique medical situation which is diminished ovarian reserve and very low AMH and follicle count. One of the first things that Dr. Goldstein said to me was that she was going to provide me with a personalized, tailored plan. And in her POV, she would actually not start with IVF given how invasive it was and the fact that my low follicle count would not produce many eggs and IVF is very much a numbers game.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I had a very low AMH (<0.2) and follicle count (4) for my age (33). I started taking levothyroxine 25mg to bring my TSH below 2.5 (something my previous doctor never noted). For my IUI, I was taking Letrozole 2.5 MG and Gonal. Dr. Goldstein and I spoke about doing a double IUI since I had 3 follicles with eggs so we did one in the afternoon and one the next morning. Luckily, we were successful with 1 baby (due in a month)!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Beverly Hills Fertility.
Very compassionate and responsive. If they didn't respond, Dr. Goldstein would jump in, which I appreciated.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
The clinic was brand new and had state of the art equipment and technology. I got used to seeing my ultrasounds on a huge TV which was a change when I graduated to a normal OBGYN. Easily parking and check-in process.

I was so impressed and amazed by how available Dr Goldstein was for us during or outside of our clinical visits. She performed all my ultrasounds herself (I find this to be uncommon in other clinics!) and being able to see her on each visit and ask questions in person made a huge difference for us...She was so patient when we had thousands of questions and concerns towards the treatment and she knew exactly how to answer all of them with reasons. We definitely felt we were in good hands with her. She is just incredible.
I am so glad I have found such amazing team at BHF...Where to start… they [BHF nursing staff] are all so amazing! Not only do they know what they are doing, but they are the best at making you feel like you matter to them...I was so impressed and amazed by how available Dr Goldstein was for us during or outside of our clinical visits.

How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr Goldstein is the most caring, personal, patient, flexible, and understanding doctor I have met. My husband and I tried 2 IVF doctors before coming to her. Our experience with our previous doctors wasn’t bad in terms of succeeding in the IVF (Although ended in a miscarriage). However, our main struggle with the previous clinics was that the doctors weren't often present and we felt abounded at times during the treatment. I was so impressed and amazed by how available Dr Goldstein was for us during or outside of our clinical visits. She performed all my ultrasounds herself (I find this to be uncommon in other clinics!) and being able to see her on each visit and ask questions in person made a huge difference for us. I see IVF to be physically exhausting but more so, mentally challenging. She took the time to learn our history and made a personalized plan for us. She was so patient when we had thousands of questions and concerns towards the treatment and she knew exactly how to answer all of them with reasons. We definitely felt we were in good hands with her. She is just incredible.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Don’t waste your time searching for anywhere else like I did. Dr Goldstein is like no other doctor. Have your questions ready, and trust her if you decide to go with her.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
She took the time to get to know us as people. This also goes out to all the nurses and staff in the office. They all knew the sad history we have with our last child, they treated us like a family and were genuinely feeling for us and crying with us at times.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Our case is little bit complicated… With infertility related issues, no one can tell you exactly what the problem is. With our case, we knew one of the problems was a high fragmentation with the sperm. Dr Goldstein had mentioned this to us and gave us an option to use donor sperm (she never forces you to do anything, she gives you an option), but my husband and I really wanted to try with our own egg and sperm. We moved forward with it on our first round of IVF with Dr Goldstein in January 2023. However, it didn’t succeed. Next month, we shipped our embryos (of our own eggs and sperm) that we froze last year in another country to Dr Goldstein’s office and did a transfer. This didn’t succeed either. We took a little break after that to take care of our health and in April, we listened to Dr Goldstein’s suggestion and decided to do another round with donor sperm this time and then that worked! There is more to our story, but I am gonna keep it short. All I want to say is that Dr Goldstein would only give you advice and options that best suit you and all you have to do is trust her. Looking back, she was paying such close attention to the doses of my meds, when to take a break, when to transfer and how many we transfer and every detail. She made me feel like I really mattered. Because she made me feel so special, I often felt like maybe I was a special case!, but I know she puts the same effort into every case. She is beyond.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Adrianna)
Where to start… they are all so amazing! Not only do they know what they are doing, but they are the best at making you feel like you matter to them. Thanks to Adrianna and Alondra for making yourself always available for me. Thanks to Christina for always caring for me. Thanks to Erika for giving me a hug when I most needed it and crying with me. What I most appreciated (besides their generosity) is that they make themselves available to the patients and are so easy to reach. In my previous clinics, communication was the most difficult part. When you can’t reach anyone, you are discouraged and lose confidence in the process. I am so glad I have found such amazing team at BHF.

I got to see Dr. Goldstein on every visit...When I met her, the first 5 mins we talked about what I do, what got me interested in doing this, and what my future plans were. We had talked about the process, how it works and she gave me the information I needed to proceed...I was initially told I would have a good egg count, but I was shocked at how great my result were. I was extremely pleased...The procedure is very quick and recovery was easy for me.
[Beverly Hills Fertility] Pro: Very kind and informative Doctor and nurse staff. Very clean office Cons: Just come a little early to find parking on street and if not go to parking structure but it’s a bit costly and no validation there. Just allow yourself an 45 to and an hour there if you are there early mornings, it’s a bit slow to get in...I got to see Dr. Goldstein on every visit, office is really clean and easy to find.

How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
As someone who is 35 single and working on my career, the pressure of aging eggs started to stress me out a bit and wanted to freeze my eggs while I was still young. Pro: I got to see Dr. Goldstein on every visit, office is really clean and easy to find. All the nurses were very helpful and staff was very kind to me. The location was perfect for anyone living in the Beverly Hills/ century city location. I was initially told I would have a good egg count, but I was shocked at how great my result were. I was extremely pleased. They were very honest about the cost and timing of the process. Also they help sign up for discounts on the medication as well. Cons: I never paid the parking structure but I know it’s a bit pricey but there are places to park on the street with meters. I’d give yourself 45-1 hr per appt just cause I knew it took about 10 mins to be called after my appointment set time, but once I was called it moves quickly. Overall I had a great experience and would totally recommend going or at least making a visit for consultation.

Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
For the egg freezing process I went through the following: 21 days of birth control and started other meds 4 days later. I took 1 oral medication Provera, 1 injection of Follistim and 1 injection of Menopur for 11 nights. They provided a walk through on how to do the medication but there is a video as well they provide and available to FaceTime if needed. After the 11 nights I did 1 trigger shot at the exact time needed and did the procedure the day after. The procedure is very quick and recovery was easy for me.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Kayla)
Kayla was very responsive on email and provided me a handy calendar of my medication but I like to double check and make sure the medication I was told at the office matches the email too.

The clinic is very hands on - all of the Medical Assistants know the names of patients and they are very responsive.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
At first we tried a natural cycle protocol that didn't work that well for me, so Dr. Goldstein quickly adjusted to a birth control lead-in with stimulation/Lupron which worked better. I had also consulted a physician in India who suggested certain dosing of the stimulation drugs and Dr. Goldstein was willing to try it - to combination of achieving synchronization and more stimulation worked well for us. For the transfer we agreed to start with natural cycle transfer and avoid progesterone shots, and it worked for us and we are currently pregnant.

How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I initially came across Dr. Goldstein on a virtual appointment with Maven. She is well-informed, knowledgeable about the latest statistics and studies, honest about the available paths forward and their risks, compassionate, and incredibly caring. I set another appointment where my husband and I could align on a path forward with her insight. We were so impressed with how caring she was that we transferred all of my frozen eggs from one of the most well-renowned doctors in our state to her. This was not a light decision because the previous doctor was in-network with our insurance and Dr. Goldstein was out of network. We thought this through and decided that it was worth spending our savings on going through this process while under Dr. Goldstein's care. We are both glad we made the switch. This has been one of the most uncertain and emotional processes we've been through. Her in-depth knowledge, care, compassion, and generosity with her time all helped us through this process. I wish this level of care for anyone else going through this uncertain process.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Instead of spending days and weeks with your worries and feeling alone in this process, reach out to Dr. Goldstein. She made me feel fully supported through this process and the path forward was not as grim as my fears would make me believe.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
She genuinely cared about the results of the process as well as the pace of the process. We encountered a minor delay in the process and I could see on her face that she was genuinely sad that I was experiencing a delay. Unlike my other doctor, she knew me and my husband as people. She knew my medical history by heart. And she always patiently and kindly answered our questions along the way and made herself available via email, even on weekends.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
We thawed my frozen eggs, created embryos, performed genetic testing on all, and proceeded with transferring one of the embryos with the best chance of live births. I am currently (happily) pregnant.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Adri Simental)
Adri strikes a great balance between being professional, kind, and fun. She had an entertaining story to share every time she drew my blood and that made the process so much more pleasant. She was always organized and quickly scheduled my following appointments at the end of every visit. I will miss working with this team. I wish I could continue to work with them until my baby is born.

Describe Ellen Goldstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I greatly appreciate that she worked with my natural cycle to reduce unnecessary medications. She also explained the advantages of moving forward with a single embryo transfer (i.e. reduced risk of premature birth as well as many other possible complications). This was consistent with what my Ob from years ago had taught me. The choice was clear.

I loved Dr. Goldstein. I originally found her from this website and had to come back and review her because she really made a difficult experience for me, as painless as possible. I have PCOS and was worried I would have to go through intense treatments to get pregnant. Dr. Goldstein got me pregnant with Letrozole, and throughout each round she was so gentle, honest, caring, responsive, and positive. I got pregnant within 3 months of seeing her, and couldn't be more grateful for her care and compassion. Highly recommend.

Dr. Goldstein has a very honest and nurturing demeanor. She is always up front about treatment and the fertility process, while also remembering that there is an individual on the other side who is going through real life challenges. This is reflected in her treatment, and she is very responsive to calls/emails, etc.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
We did 3 rounds of Letrozole for my PCOS to help my body ovulate. On the first round, I had unexpected bleeding, so we assumed that round didn't work. I got pregnant two rounds later.

I was shocked by how available Dr. Goldstein was for us. My first visit, she sat in her office with me and my partner for over an hour and just got to know us and our history. She cared, she laughed with us, she empathized with us. She let us email her at any time and called us any time we asked, even in the late night...she kept close track of my ovulation to determine the length of time to do the stims, and under ordered my medication so I wouldn't have to pay more than necessary...
Amazing clinic [Beverly Hills Fertility], well run and well organized. The girls are so friendly, they make themselves available to me whenever I needed it, and never bruised me when taking my blood a million times a month...I was greeted cheerfully, the girls would laugh with me and keep things light. They took care of me like I was their own. To give me my good news, they all got together and called me together and I was so touched I cried about it for days...
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is something else. She is heaven sent for anyone going through infertility. She made us feel seen, she gave us her time, took the time to answer our 1 million questions, was willing to do what we were comfortable with without any judgement. She made herself available to answer my 1000 million questions, even when I would sent silly questions late at night she responded in 5 minutes. She cares. She would see me happy and get happy, she would see me nervous and reassure me. She would see my excited and set my expectations realistically. She took the best care of us, all while keeping us realistically hopeful the entire process. I couldn't rave enough.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I would say to trust Dr. Goldstein. She really knows what she's talking about and what she's doing, trust her. I'm very into research myself, and would go research the advice or things she'd tell me and see that she really knows what she's talking about.

Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
My husband and I didn't want to do IUI. The low success rate didn't feel like something we could handle, and she was supportive of our decision without pushing in any direction. We did a relatively normal IVF cycle, where she kept close track of my ovulation to determine the length of time to do the stims, and under ordered my medication so I wouldn't have to pay more than necessary. She ended up saving me so much money, because my stims were relatively short. We did the transfer in the next cycle with minimal hormonal intervention which was refreshing, no trigger shot or anything (which was great because that first trigger was so hard on my body). I got pregnant the first round of IVF thanks to Dr. Goldstein's magic.

Coming to the clinic for me felt like coming to my cousin's house. I was greeted cheerfully, the girls would laugh with me and keep things light. They took care of me like I was their own. To give me my good news, they all got together and called me together and I was so touched I cried about it for days. They were so good to me every step of the way I couldn't be more appreciative.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
Amazing clinic, well run and well organized. The girls are so friendly, they make themselves available to me whenever I needed it, and never bruised me when taking my blood a million times a month. I don't have any weaknesses honestly. Bring a jacket for the waiting room lol
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Beverly Hills Fertility.
They had to be within a certain time frame when blood work was involved, in order to get results back that day. But if it was just an ultrasound, the timing was more flexible than that
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I think the treatment was around 14k for IVF, and an addition 4500 for genetic testing. I could be wrong, don't quote me.
Describe Ellen Goldstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Beverly Hills Fertility.
I was strongly against having twins ( I don't think I can handle two at once, but more power to those who can). She was supportive of my decision, and instructed us when to use protection to prevent twins as well as only impanting one embryo.

Dr. Goldstein is a wonderful doctor and human...1. She saw me at every visit...2. She gave me realistic expectations and checked those with every visit as the process progressed. 3. She sincerely cared about how much money I spent on meds. She timed everything perfectly...4. She let me know from day one that she was available to answer any question as it came up and not to hesitate to reach out. Emailing her, even late at night, received a speedy response.
[Beverly Hills Fertility] Strengths: -Exceptional doctor and staff -Lovely office with validated parking -Short wait times -Price - I didn't do a lot of shopping around but I believe Dr. Goldstein is priced slightly lower than other clinics in the area. Especially if you factor in that the first year of egg storage is included in the fee. Weakness: Dr. Goldstein is the only doctor. I'm sure there's a backup plan if something comes up - I never asked!
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is a wonderful doctor and human. This was my second round of egg freezing and some things stood out about my experience with her: 1. She saw me at every visit (as opposed to another clinic where I only saw my doctor for the consultation and retrieval). 2. She gave me realistic expectations and checked those with every visit as the process progressed. 3. She sincerely cared about how much money I spent on meds. She timed everything perfectly so I wouldn't have extra meds but also recommended upping the dose when it made sense. 4. She let me know from day one that she was available to answer any question as it came up and not to hesitate to reach out. Emailing her, even late at night, received a speedy response.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Be honest and upfront with your questions. Do research so you know which questions to ask. She'll answer them and give you all the information you need to make personal decisions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein always took her time with me to address my questions and concerns. Her facility itself is brimming with kind employees who prioritize patient care. Her tone always comes from a place of confidence and knowledge but never from a place of superiority and arrogance.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Erika Gonzalez)
Erika was an absolute delight. She was always cheerful, compassionate and professional. Having a dedicated coordinator makes the process so much easier - I never felt like I was throwing my questions out into the ether. Erika was on it! Every other person (finance, front desk, nurses, embryologist, anesthesiologist) at the clinic I interacted with was wonderful. Clearly, hiring people who are on board with Dr. Goldstein's ethos is a priority for the clinic.

How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with fertility. She took time to answer questions and evaluate treatment options. We would not be pregnant now without her assistance. Overall it took 4 months - 2 months with IUI then a cyst occurred we needed to take a break. We had 1 more IUI after and now have a successful pregnancy! Dr. Goldstein took into consideration our goals and finances and worked with us to find a treatment plan that was perfect for our needs.

Dr. G makes herself available via email to the patient and never let more than an hour go by before responding to any concern or test result, which was so comforting when you are going through this journey. She is truly dedicated to her patients, coming in on a Saturday or Sunday if that’s the day that is best for the patient’s procedure...was very attentive with each scan, making small changes to meds to achieve the best outcome
I can’t say enough kind words about this practice [Beverly Hills Fertility], I felt truly cared for. I can see that each person who works there wants success for every patient, and they take the time to talk when a cycle doesn’t work out or the journey gets difficult. When I got my positive pregnancy test and saw the team for my first few ultrasounds and blood tests, it felt like we all won!
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. G was the only doctor who met with me in person, although in a post Covid world, it seemed important to me that the doctor would want to talk to me face to face as well as perform their own ultrasound for a proper assessment to base their plans on. Where the other doctors once again pushed for IVF and donor eggs, Dr. G took a piece of paper and mapped out her plan for me and explained why she would not go the IVF route based on my entire fertility picture.

She is truly dedicated to her patients, coming in on a Saturday or Sunday if that’s the day that is best for the patient’s procedure. Alondra, my clinical coordinator, was so kind, empathetic and knowledgeable in guiding me through the day to day of each cycle and in coordinating all my medications. The entire staff, including Erica, someone I saw a lot, were so supportive in my 3 cycles of IUI. They were all so genuine in hoping each cycle was the one. Dr. G was very attentive with each scan, making small changes to meds to achieve the best outcome. She was also very mindful of cost, and always looked for ways to save me money with medications or treatments which I appreciated in an expensive venture.

I could be biased when I say, I think Dr. G worked harder for me since I’m having twins, but I know she puts the same effort into every case. I know Beverly Hills Fertility will continue their amazing work in building families, even when other doctors may not see the same possibility. In reflecting on my entire infertility journey, I’m so glad I found Dr. Goldstein and her practice…my family and I will forever be so thankful for everyone who played a part in our story.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra )
Alondra and Erica were angels. So supportive, we all got tears in our eyes when we knew I wouldn't see them any longer on my journey through pregnancy. They were so genuine and empathetic to the hardship of the process. They are both amazing people all around.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
Access to the doctor and quick communication turn around for any concern or question. Complete availability to the day that is best for your procedure. They are so dedicated to your procedures. I never had to wait a long time in their office which appreciated and it felt like they respected my time as much as I respected theirs. They were accommodating with my work schedule to see me when it was best for me. I brought my toddler to procedures which they allowed and I was grateful for.

How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr Goldstein was absolutely incredible. We sought her out after going through three consecutive miscarriages and being told by multiple doctors to “just keep trying”. Dr Goldstein responded by acknowledging the emotional pain of the miscarriages and performing a full testing and imaging workup to ensure that nothing was missed. She confirmed the previous diagnosis, but did so in a way that made us feel listened to and understood which was critical in our ability to move forward. When we did get pregnant again, she performed weekly ultrasounds to help us through the first trimester and continued to be a resource via email as we transitioned to our permanent OB-QYN. Thank you Dr Goldstein!

I had a great experience with Dr. Goldstein...was warm and had good bedside manners...straight to the point and didn’t sugarcoat things...saw her at every single appointment - she set clear expectations, answered all of my questions, and truly made me feel seen and heard...ended up getting pregnant with twins on my third IUI, but I unfortunately miscarried both...My husband and I miraculously conceived on our own and I am currently 25 weeks pregnant with my little miracle baby!
The clinic [Beverly Hills Fertility] is brand new, clean, and calming. It doesn't ever feel crazy or hectic, I never had to wait long. Everyone seemed on top of it, and appointments were almost always on time. Parking can be a little expensive if you have a long appointment, but they provide validation which helps...Alondra was my main coordinator, and she was so sweet! All of the nurses and coordinators are so friendly.
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I had a great experience with Dr. Goldstein! It was important for me to see a fertility doctor who was warm and had good bedside manners as this is obviously a very sensitive and emotional process. Not only was Dr. Goldstein warm and caring, but she was also straight to the point and didn’t sugarcoat things which is also extremely important when going through treatments. I saw her at every single appointment - she set clear expectations, answered all of my questions, and truly made me feel seen and heard. I trusted her with my whole heart. I remember after leaving my first consultation with her, I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I had been carrying the weight of this all for so long, and I finally felt like I had another teammate (other than my husband) to fight this battle with. That feeling never went away during any treatments with her. Through all of the ups and downs, she was by our sides and had a clear plan for what to try next. Trusting your doctor is so important, and I fully trusted her 110%!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I did a ton of research (thank you FertilityIQ!) on doctors and clinics in Los Angeles and met with a few doctors for consultations before meeting with Dr. Goldstein. After meeting with her and comparing her to other doctors and clinics, I knew she was the right doctor for me. So, my advice would be to do your own research, advocate for yourself, and choose a doctor who makes you feel seen, heard, and cared for. Dr. Goldstein checked all of these boxes for me.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I truly felt like I was one of the only patients she had. She was smart, warm, personable, funny, and easy to talk to. I trusted her and knew she had mine and my husbands best interest in mind. She was invested in getting us pregnant and I trusted her every step of the way.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
We started with 3 IUIs (one round with Clomid and the second two with Letrozole), I responded really well and had 5 follicles for each IUI. We ended up getting pregnant with twins on my third IUI, but I unfortunately miscarried both. After the miscarriage, we took a little break before starting IVF. My IVF protocol consisted of 2 tablets of Letrozole at night, 225 iu Follistim, and 150 iu Menopur. After a few days, we started Ganirelix, and then Pregnyl trigger shot before the egg retrieval. The nurses were so helpful with teaching me how to do the injections, Dr. Goldstein was always on call if I needed her, and they actually provide you with clear videos of Dr. Goldstein showing you exactly how to set up and inject the medication which was so helpful to me. Watching the videos of her was actually comforting while doing the injections - it felt like she was right there with us! Overall, my protocol felt very easy and simple. Dr. Goldstein doesn’t overcomplicate when it isn’t necessary. She will also change things up as you go based on how you are responding to the medication, she’s really on top of it all, which again is so reassuring. My first egg retrieval yielded one genetically normal embryo, so we decided to try one more round of IVF before a transfer. For the second round, we started a luteal phase protocol to see if my eggs would grow more in line with each other, but we ended up cancelling the cycle halfway through as I was actually pregnant! My husband and I miraculously conceived on our own and I am currently 25 weeks pregnant with my little miracle baby!
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra)
Alondra was my main coordinator, and she was so sweet! All of the nurses and coordinators are so friendly. I saw a few different coordinators from time to time if Alondra was out of the office and felt seen and cared for by all. They respond to emails right away and helped schedule medication deliveries etc.

Dr. Ellen Goldstein is simply incredible, brilliant, amiable, kind and extremely attentive. She was everything I needed and more in my times of distress, in my moments of confusion and my own self doubt. She treated me and my husband like a partner in this journey and never failed to reassure me that I am capable of becoming a mother. Dr. Goldstein is a blessing in my life. I have never experienced such attentive care as a patient until I met her.
Beverly Hills Fertility has many strengths. They've created a aesthetically beautiful, calm and welcoming environment for their patients. It never feels like a 'factory', like some of the other places I've been to before I came across Dr. Goldstein's practice. As a patient, I always felt very welcomed by their staff. Everyone is so sweet and caring...I met with the financial coordinator, where she meticulously went over every detail of cost and different options to choose from. She answered every question and helped us choose the best options for our treatment plan.

My advice to a prospect patient of Ellen Goldstein is to truly lift the weight off your own shoulders by letting her take over. Let go of any self doubt or pressure you've placed on yourself and trust her process. She will be doing everything in her power to achieve success.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
I absolutely felt like a human during my visits and treatments with Dr. Goldstein, I am forever grateful to her for responding to every single email and never letting more than an hour go by before answering. Often times, answering me within minutes. Those moments are so appreciated. I felt so cared for, seen and truly felt like I was her only patient... even though I definitely was not! I am not sure how she does it, but she truly has an incredible strength and passion for fertility. She treated me like any family member would.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Goldstein's protocol was meticulous and effective. She did not want me to spend unnecessary money, nor overstimulate me with the IVF treatments. She only prescribed what was needed and carefully monitored me. During the IVF injections, I felt totally fine and I was able to live a normal life. Dr. Goldstein had video tutorials that she created herself helping us learn how to do the injections comfortably at home. As a result, we retrieved 20 eggs! We had 5 embryos and then went through PGS-testing our embryos, leaving us with 2 healthy tested embryos. After the retrieval process, Dr. Goldstein prepared me for a natural frozen embryo transfer. We used my own hormones for this 'natural' transfer (therefore there were no extra medications/injections needed other than letrozole) and we waited until I ovulated on my own. She monitored me like a hawk and perfectly timed the transfer. And it was successful!!!
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Mariam)
Mariam was an awesome care coordinator for me. She responded to all my emails / phone calls promptly and patiently helped me answer all my questions with detail.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
Beverly Hills Fertility has many strengths. They've created a aesthetically beautiful, calm and welcoming environment for their patients. It never feels like a 'factory', like some of the other places I've been to before I came across Dr. Goldstein's practice. As a patient, I always felt very welcomed by their staff. Everyone is so sweet and caring.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
After my consultation appointment, I met with the financial coordinator, where she meticulously went over every detail of cost and different options to choose from. She answered every question and helped us choose the best options for our treatment plan. We decided to move forward with their recommended protocols, including ICSI, PGS-Testing etc. We spent about $20k for the entire process which is very competitive compared to other IVF fertility centers. My medications were probably around an additional $3,500. Overall, Dr. Goldstein understands the financial stress that IVF can come with, so she was always very considerate about making sure she prescribed just the necessary amount of medications so we did not need to overspend.

Dr. Goldstein cares about every patient. Her demeanor is calm and respectful...not a one size fits all procedure and she will adjust per person...gives her patients her direct email address (for emergencies) so that if anything happens she can respond personally...made me feel comfortable the whole time and took all my questions seriously. During this process I saw her multiple times for the ultrasounds rather than a nurse...froze all 35 eggs.
This clinic [Beverly Hills Fertility] is not just in it for the money...worked with me to spread out the payments and they were very understanding that this is a big decision...a newer clinic so I think they are still figuring a few things out but overall I cant say enough great things about the staff...Alondra was amazing. Very responsive and attentive...process is overwhelming and emotional and both Alondra and the doctor are aware of this and are sensitive to emotions
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein cares about every patient. Her demeanor is calm and respectful. She talks to you about your options and it's clear she makes sure she does the best option for you individually. This is not a one size fits all procedure and she will adjust per person. We started with much less meds then the first doctor prescribed me. I asked Dr. Goldstein if that would effect my egg numbers. She assured me that we can always add more medicine. Dr. Goldstein did every ultrasound herself so she could see if we needed to change the medication. Luckily we didn't need to make big changes. This saved me 2k by ordering less. I got 35 eggs and 26 mature eggs. During each ultrasound she would talk to you about what she was seeing (and there is a screen for you to see as well) so you understood. If you have questions make sure to ask them in the ultrasound room. If you have a questions she happily answers it and never rushes you through them. But your assigned nurse does talk with you after the ultrasound, so if you forgot a question you can always ask the nurse. I emailed her late at night during one of my injections with a question. She responded within 3 min. I always felt calm knowing her and the staff care about their patients.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Throughout the process Dr. Goldstein took the time to talk about every step with me ensuring I was comfortable and understood what was going on. She was the one to do every ultrasound so that she knew exactly how my body was reacting to the medication. She gives her patients her direct email address (for emergencies) so that if anything happens she can respond personally. Prior to going with Dr. Goldstein, I started at another well known Beverly Hills clinic. I paid out of pocked for the first ultrasound and round of tests. Over 1K for this. Long story short with that clinic I couldn't get the doctor to talk to me as I was just a number and I could either start the medication without fully getting a clear answer from the doctor or go elsewhere. I went elsewhere! Two days before I was supposed to get started with this other doctor my gut said to stop. I called Dr. Goldstein who got me into a consultation the very next day. She listened to my concerns with my body and my last doctor. She said lets do an ultrasound right now and I can give you a clear answer if we can get started. After she sat down, talked about my concerns and assured me I would be safe. I left the other doctor and switched to her. And I am so thankful I did. She made me feel comfortable the whole time and took all my questions seriously. During this process I saw her multiple times for the ultrasounds rather than a nurse.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Night 1-8 Follistim 100 iu Menopur 150 iu Provera 1 pill On the 9th night I was out of Follistim so instead of ordering more she had me do 225 iu of Menopur + Provera 1 pill since I had extra Menopur. (She tries to make sure it doesn't cost us more than it needs to) Night 10 Trigger shot The Provera pill replaced a different shot that other doctors use (I cant remember which one). This is a newer medication but she said it has been shown to be just as effective and was only $11 at CVS for all the pills. I appreciated not having to do a third shot each night. Results : 35 eggs retrieved and 26 mature. They froze all 35 eggs.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra)
Alondra was amazing. Very responsive and attentive. If I asked her a question she either responded right away or asked the doctor and got back to me. She went over how to inject the medication and then the doctor came in for any questions. The process is overwhelming and emotional and both Alondra and the doctor are aware of this and are sensitive to emotions.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
This clinic is not just in it for the money. They worked with me to spread out the payments and they were very understanding that this is a big decision. They are a newer clinic so I think they are still figuring a few things out but overall I cant say enough great things about the staff and Dr. Goldstein. I know she will always be there to answer question in the future if I need her which I did not get from the first clinic. They do not have a portal like some other clinics to see your test results or messages. All my communication was done through email which I didn't mind at all. It allowed for faster and direct communication.

Dr. Goldstein is patient and takes time to answer all your questions -- while you are in her office and when you contact her by email or phone. She is very responsive to emails, provides detailed responses, and welcomes follow up questions. I felt very comfortable to ask her questions. Also, during this entire process, other than bloodwork, Dr. Goldstein was directly involved. She did all my ultrasounds and met with me during every visit...understood how emotional this process is -- she listened, she was patient, and empathetic.
They [Beverly Hill Fertility] do not work with insurance (at least at the time of my visit), which was not ideal. They were responsive, the office was clean, and the entire team starting at the front desk were patient, kind, and sincere...Dr. Goldstein has excellent bedside manner, she is calm and caring, and very receptive and responsive to questions (during visits and by phone/email). She encouraged me to email her with concerns and questions, and she always responded timely. Initially, it appeared as though I had diminished ovarian reserve and Dr. Goldstein really partnered with me to figure out the best course of action. She made me feel very safe and I had full confidence in her experience (even though I am a very skeptical person, generally).

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
If you like to know all possible outcomes and side effects, even if the chances of such outcomes are low, be proactive in asking her. For example, go over what you could experience after the retrieval process (for example, to no fault of Dr. Goldstein's, I had significant bloating after the retrieval, which is "normal" but not as common).

Lastly, Dr. Goldstein understood how emotional this process is -- she listened, she was patient, and empathetic.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
I took estrogen pills about a week before I expected my cycle to start (not everyone does this), I did injections for 10 days before my trigger injection (initally thought I would do 8-9 but I was responding well to medication so we continued a bit more). The results were great -- each visit, we could see about 15-17 follicles and she was able to retrieve 17 mature eggs. She also retrieved 3 that were not mature.

What specific things went wrong at Beverly Hills Fertility?
  • Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Beverly Hills Fertility.
Very minor, but Dr. Goldstein told me my procedure would be at one time, but my nurse emailed me with a different time. When I checked with Dr. Goldstein (she was immediately responsive) she confirmed the time she said was correct, she changed the time based on my progress, and my nurse had not yet been updated.

Dr. Goldstein is approachable and makes you feel heard...was very comprehensive...took into account my history of miscarriages when speaking to me or suggesting treatments...recommended trying IUI if we wanted to try to expedite the process...prescribed me Clomid...hcg trigger shot 24 hours before the IUI treatment...currently 9 weeks pregnant

How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is approachable and makes you feel heard. She spends time getting to know you and your history and takes these details into account when making medical recommendations. She is quick to respond to email and the office is rarely closed. She is professional but also has a warm nature to her.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Trust that Dr. Goldstein has your best interests in mind, and it's helpful to be proactive with your outreach and follow up with the clinic.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
During the initial consultation, Dr. Goldstein was very comprehensive and made me feel like she really wanted to understand my journey to get pregnant. She asked a lot of questions about my history and spent time with me in her office before any physical evaluation which I thought was really nice. She also took into account my history of miscarriages when speaking to me or suggesting treatments which was refreshing. She remembered my medical history without me having to repeat anything like I've experienced with other physicians, which to me, shows she really cares!
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
After trying to get pregnant for 7-8 months with no success (and being 35), Dr. Goldstein recommended trying IUI if we wanted to try to expedite the process to get pregnant. She prescribed me Clomid which I took for a few days before the IUI treatment. I didn't feel any major side effects from Clomid when I took it. I had an ultrasound to check my follicle growth a few days later and had two mature follicles. Dr. Goldstein scheduled the date of my IUI treatment for a few days later, and I took the hcg trigger shot 24 hours before the IUI treatment. My husband provided a sperm sample in the clinic the day of the treatment, and Dr. Goldstein performed the treatment herself. We were lucky to have the first IUI cycle be successful (currently 9 weeks pregnant), and we are very grateful to Dr. Goldstein.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra)
Alondra was pretty helpful during our experience, although I will say the follow up could have been more timely. There were a few times where I had to follow up myself before hearing back. But overall, Alondra was helpful.
Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
The waiting room of the clinic is clean and stylish - they have coffee, water and sour peach gummies which was fun! The rest of the clinic is very clean and modern too. One area I think the clinic could improve upon is the patient portal. I only found out that they had one because I asked and it was pretty limited in terms of what it offers. I think it would be nice if patients could see their lab results or read about their visits in a patient portal or even message Dr. Goldstein through the portal (most of the messaging happened via email). I think a lot of patients expect some kind of a comprehensive online portal these days to have a proactive role in their healthcare.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility.
IUI cycle was $1500. Clomid medication was $65 after insurance coverage. hcg trigger shot was $49.90.

Dr. Goldstein was an outstanding doctor for this procedure (IVF/Egg Freezing)...balanced out the clinical side with the caregiving side in a way that made each appointment smooth and easy...Her use of rationing the medication was also so thoughtful and helpful to save money...she always made herself available

How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein was an outstanding doctor for this procedure (IVF/Egg Freezing). She balanced out the clinical side with the caregiving side in a way that made each appointment smooth and easy. I always felt like if I had a question it was answered. Though I didn't require any immediate communication, I know she always made herself available, which makes you feel better as a patient. She understood the process and was there to guide you along the way, predicting fears and confusion. I had a great experience.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Nothing that I can think of, you're in good hands.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
The way Dr. Goldstein explained and translated everything clearly so that I was able to easily understand the process all along the way was very helpful and made me feel like she understood the common questions and concerns in an approachable way—that even though the numbers are the numbers, sometimes situations can be better or worse. I think she did a great job at managing expectations while making me feel heard. As a patient, I feel like she definitely created a safe environment.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Once we were in the treatment, Dr. Goldstein was clear on instructions and had videos pre-made that were definitely needed. Her strategy was simple there was nothing specific to stress out about which was great, but she also supported you if you wanted to follow anything (supplements, way of eating, etc). I didn't do anything specific and the results were better than predicted. Her use of rationing the medication was also so thoughtful and helpful to save money.

Describe your experience with Beverly Hills Fertility.
The clinic was so great. The financial staff was clear and communicative. The facility was modern and clean. Everyone on staff there was so nice and helpful. The staff she pulled together for the retrieval was great. Dr. Goldstein has a great team together and I really couldn't have asked for a better experience—from the first visit to the final retrieval—everything was well worth it. Sometimes this can be an emotional experience but every time I went into the office I felt heard and comforted and it was that regimen and great experience that made it all worth it. I wouldn't have wanted to do this anywhere else.

Dr. Goldstein is exceptional at balancing compassionate counsel with pragmatic care. I never felt like I was being "babied" or talked down to, but I always felt like my questions were answered and I was being given the opportunity to be honest and open about my experience with egg freezing...As a plus, she's young, energetic, and genuine. I can't say enough wonderful things...I absolutely raved about Dr. Goldstein to friends and family members
I loved this clinic because you know exactly what you're getting. When I was researching clinics, I got very nervous that I would get randomly assigned to a doctor who was less experienced or qualified because of the volume. Having a clinic with a single doctor was so reassuring because I knew exactly who I was dealing with from the day of my consult. My only very minor critique is that the parking is an additional cost (not substantial but you need to remember to ask for validation).
How was your experience with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Dr. Goldstein is exceptional at balancing compassionate counsel with pragmatic care. I never felt like I was being "babied" or talked down to, but I always felt like my questions were answered and I was being given the opportunity to be honest and open about my experience with egg freezing. I absolutely raved about Dr. Goldstein to friends and family members. When I went in for my consult, she was so patient with me and very kind when we discovered that my AFC was much lower than expected for my age. She advised me on steps that we could take to give me the best shot at collecting as many eggs as possible, and she absolutely nailed it. She projected that I could get 8 eggs at our consult, and that's exactly what I wound up with. As a plus, she's young, energetic, and genuine. I can't say enough wonderful things.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
Prepare yourself to get an honest assessment of your prognosis--even if it's bad, you'll be supported along the way.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Ellen Goldstein at Beverly Hills Fertility?
The support and attention I received from Dr. Goldstein and her staff was phenomenal. Even though she has an exceptionally busy practice, I always felt like staff carved out time to answer my questions and Dr. Goldstein made it a point to call me and check in after every major milestone. I had the opportunity to ask questions at any and all points of the process. On one occasion, I inadvertently lost a dose of my medication by pulling the syringe plunger out too far and had to panic-email Dr. Goldstein and my facilitator, Alondra. I got an immediate response and reassurance from Alondra that everything was okay, that they could make sure I got the requisite dose on time, and apologizing (to me!) for the stress.
Describe the protocols Ellen Goldstein used in your cycles at Beverly Hills Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Goldstein had me go off birth control for three months before I started the retrieval process. Once that was done, she prescribed me Estrace tablets for a period of about a week or so. She then had me stop taking the tablets before I started my injections.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Beverly Hills Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Alondra)
Alondra and the entire team of nurses were so wonderful. They were always in touch and available, and they worked so hard. I don't think this office has any "off" days (my retrieval was on the Fourth of July) and they were still always sunny and warm and reassuring.
