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. Salli Tazuke] was nice enough. We only saw her once. She covered most of everything we needed to go over. We never saw her again so I cannot say whether she's good at anything else. After our talk with her we never had a real conversation with anyone again and we never heard back about our test results or the billing questions I had.
I am very disappointed in[CCRM San Francisco] staff behavior and lack of followup. I believe they just want to get people in and charge them the consultation fee...$350 for our consultation...do not feel like we had any idea of what to expect...we were not given a timeline, feedback on our test results, detailed billing for our insurance

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
Do not go here if you're expecting quick results.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
Impossible to get ahold of someone. Front office/Billing disrespectful, unprofessional.
Describe the protocols Salli Tazuke used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.
We never went through with the process due to the behavior of the clinic staff, and their billing department.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at CCRM San Francisco.
We only had a single call with a "care coordinator" and not much was discussed other than for us to go do the blood tests. There was no timeline discussed or any idea of how long everything would be, including the transfer date.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
I'm not sure of any strengths. We went to the CCRM in Fairfax Virginia and we had no problems. I am very disappointed in this clinic's staff behavior and lack of followup. I believe they just want to get people in and charge them the consultation fee. It was $350 for our consultation and I do not feel like we had any idea of what to expect going forward. We did everything possible to send them all of the information they needed, yet we were not given a timeline, feedback on our test results, detailed billing for our insurance, etc. I feel like we were just a number and they just wanted our money. I felt used.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco.
$350 for a discussion. $500 in labs. Never got detailed billing for our consultation so I could submit to insurance and our FSA account. We did not continue.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at CCRM San Francisco.
The office staff are completely disrespectful. The "care coordinator" doesn't coordinate anything and we do not hear back from them. The people in the billing department do not answer the phone. The receptionist will literally lie to you and tell you she will get something to you and never do it. This has happened three times to me. I have called 10 times over the same billing issue to no avail. It is disrespectful to lie to people, not call them, not give them the needed information, AND hang up on them.

We never saw [Dr. Sunny Jun] in person...suggested unnecessary tests and supplements...didn't customize protocol until there was a clear failure half way through the stimulation process...egg retrieval...terminated half way through the stimulation...it is almost impossible to talk to her afterwards. You can only reach nurses
[CCRM San Francisco] strengths: lab results...location...weaknesses: communication clarity and effectiveness...care or mental support...unnecessary and very costly supplements and tests...I feel not cared at all, and very disappointing...pushed back to all my questions and concerns, without any care or compassion
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr. Sunny Jun didn't customize protocol until there was a clear failure half way through the stimulation process. Before that, she had a default protocol with timeline and dosage and only said yes to all of my monitoring results without any further information. I never saw her in person throughout the process. She recommended unnecessary and very costly tests and supplements which were not recommended by other clinics. The whole experience was very disappointing.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
You need to do your own homework to know what to ask, what are different protocols, what to expect. If you are not prepared well enough for the appointment with Dr. Jun, it is almost impossible to talk to her afterwards. You can only reach nurses. You would be asked to do a lot of tests and buy some very expensive supplements, which may not be necessary.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
We never saw her in person. She suggested unnecessary tests and supplements as her default way which was costly and not useful. I could only reach nurses when I had questions or concerns, and sometimes needed to repeat the same information to the same nurse or different nurses several times, and then at the appointment with the doctor, she asked me the same thing. The egg retrieval process didn't go well with me, the process was terminated half way through the stimulation. I was so disappointed and sad. I had a lot of questions. Still it was a very defensive nurse talking to me, pushed back all my questions, sounding like there was nothing they could have done better (identify the issue earlier, adjust the protocol or timeline or dosage, etc.), without a message of detailed instructions, making me feel not cared or valued at all. And I always felt painful during ultrasound tests in this clinic, comparing to my later experience with a different clinic.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at CCRM San Francisco.
communication wasn't clear. I'd prefer they send a message with more clear instructions, when I had to terminate the stimulation process half way through. The step-in nurse who asked me to terminate the stimulation process was very defensive, pushed back to all my questions and concerns, without any care or compassion.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
strengths: lab results, based on data online, though I didn't have personal experience on this with my procedure. location. weaknesses: communication clarity and effectiveness. (I'd prefer a message with detailed instructions after a call. I sometimes need to repeat the same information to the same or different nurses, and then to the doctor again) care or mental support (Please don't be so defensive when I had to terminate the procedure half way through due to bad responding result. There is definitely something could have done better. But they acted like nothing could have done better. I had a lot of questions, and got pushed back by a defensive nurse.) unnecessary and very costly supplements and tests, which were not required by the other clinic I switched to.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco.
covered by progyny, except for the expensive and unnecessary urology test and supplements
What specific things went wrong at CCRM San Francisco?
  • Provided conflicting information
  • Failed to convey critical information
  • Canceled a cycle due to clinic error
Describe the specific things that went wrong at CCRM San Francisco.
After the birth control pills, several days before stimulation starting date, the ultrasound test showed I already have a follicle grew to 8mm. The team didn't say anything and asked me to start stimulation several days later as planned. After 4 days of stimulation, I did the next ultrasound there, and that follicle was 18mm with other follicles small 3-7mm. I was asked to trigger that day and terminate the whole process. I wasn't answered on why they didn't warn me or adjust the protocol after they saw that bigger follicle before I started stimulation. A defensive nurse told me everyone responds differently, there's nothing they could have done better. But she told me in a very certain way that after the trigger shot, 2 weeks later I will for sure get my period, which conflicts with what she previously said in the same phone call, that everyone is different. I feel not cared at all, and very disappointing. Later, I had 2 very successful and smooth egg retrievals in a different clinic.

Dr. Salli Tazuke is knowledgeable, but my experience with her was quite limited due to her frequent vacations. I only spoke with her directly two or three times throughout my treatment...first treatment was under Protocol 3, the Luteal Patch-Antagonist, and the second was under Protocol 5
[At CCRM San Francisco] most of the communication happens between you and the nursing team...I found there was a lack of compassion in these interactions...biggest pain point...the financial department, which added another layer of frustration...nursing team felt inconsistent; at times, they were attentive and helpful, but at other times, they seemed remote and disconnected
How was your experience with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
"Dr. Salli Tazuke is knowledgeable, but my experience with her was quite limited due to her frequent vacations. I only spoke with her directly two or three times throughout my treatment. During my two retrievals, unexpected results occurred, and when I needed her guidance to make important decisions, she was not available. Instead, other doctors stepped in to make those decisions, which left me feeling disconnected and uncertain about my care.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
Be prepared for limited direct communication with Dr. Tazuke and ensure you are comfortable working with other doctors and staff in the practice, especially when it comes to making critical decisions. Clarify your expectations for communication upfront to avoid any surprises during your treatment
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
Tazuke is knowledgeable and capable, but I felt more like a number than a patient during my treatment. The limited interactions left me feeling disconnected, and I didn’t receive the level of personal attention I had hoped for.
Describe the protocols Salli Tazuke used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.
My first treatment was under Protocol 3, the Luteal Patch-Antagonist, and the second was under Protocol 5. Both treatments seemed to start well, but ultimately failed, with only one embryo frozen in the end.
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco. (Assigned nurse: Elena)
The nursing team felt inconsistent; at times, they were attentive and helpful, but at other times, they seemed remote and disconnected. There were also instances when I received incorrect guidance, which added to the confusion and stress during my treatment.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
Dr. Tazuke and Dr. Jun are both excellent doctors when you have the chance to interact with them. However, those interactions are rare, as most of the communication happens between you and the nursing team. Going through IVF is a very stressful process, and I found there was a lack of compassion in these interactions. The biggest pain point, though, is the financial department, which added another layer of frustration to the experience
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at CCRM San Francisco.
he monitoring appointments were inconsistent. There are three nurses who handle the ultrasound monitoring: two are very good and attentive, but occasionally, I had appointments with Elisa, who was rude and did not provide accurate monitoring information.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at CCRM San Francisco.
The financial department provided incorrect information about my insurance coverage and did not honor the benefits they initially promised. On top of dealing with the disappointment of two failed treatments, I repeatedly received unexpected billing requests, which added even more stress to an already difficult experience

She [Dr. Li-Shei-Lin] is very understanding and cares for our outcome of bringing a baby home. She shows compassion and understands the stress. We were hoping for more of my eggs to make it from genetic testing and from the large amount of eggs retrieved one survived. We all thought it would be a different outcome...She understood how upset i was but also gave us time to think and gave us her honest opinion with what she belives ill work looking at both of us and all our testing
They [CCRM San Francisco] do all the blood work in the office which is great and they take my insurance on some things which helps out a ton. The office itself is nice and the reviews are great we are in the process of embryo transfer...they run everything through a app and sometimes you want answers quick and they have 24 hours to respond. When i go into the office ive never met my nurse just my coordinator
How was your experience with Li-Shei Lin at CCRM San Francisco?
She is very understanding and cares for our outcome of bringing a baby home. She shows compassion and understands the stress. We were hoping for more of my eggs to make it from genetic testing and from the large amount of eggs retrieved one survived. We all thought it would be a different outcome. Since this was the case and due to my age 39 my partner is 25 she suggested our best outcome of having a baby would be for my partner to receive my egg! She understood how upset i was but also gave us time to think and gave us her honest opinion with what she belives ill work looking at both of us and all our testing
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Li-Shei Lin at CCRM San Francisco?
Be open and honest and ask questions if your not sure
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Li-Shei Lin at CCRM San Francisco?
I feel that Dr. Lynn wants the best outcome with a live birth. We expected more then one egg out of this process but unfortunately that was not the case really upsetting but she suggested my parter to have the embryo transfer due to my complications
Describe the protocols Li-Shei Lin used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.
The injections i was taking made me produce more eggs then normal was not expecting that!

Well they run everything through a app and sometimes you want answers quick and they have 24 hours to respond. When i go into the office ive never met my nurse just my coordinator

The salve app dislike it. Would love more one on one contact. They do all the blood work in the office which is great and they take my insurance on some things which helps out a ton. The office itself is nice and the reviews are great we are in the process of embryo transfer. We hope this works we have spent all of our savings on this and just a little worried due to us only having one good embryo
Describe the costs associated with your care under Li-Shei Lin at CCRM San Francisco.
Alot of money like 40,000
Describe Li-Shei Lin's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.

I always felt supported by her [Dr. Sunny Jun] and knew she would take time to answer my questions when they came up. The day of my retrieval, she did mention that my chances of success were not very high statistically since I had very few follicles, and she was right. But against all odds we were successful. I can imagine that she sees so much and in that situation I had wished her to be a tad more positive, but at the same time I understand that she was trying to paint a true picture of the most probable outcome.
I felt that their [CCRM San Francisco] portal at the time frustrating but they have since then changed.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
There was a situation where we were told that we would be given a call to let us know if the embryos were normal genetically, but when I called like I had been told to they said I needed an appointment to get the answer and the next availability was in 2 weeks. I was furious since that appointment should have been made at the time of retrieval and I called my nurse and sent a very wordy message to let them know that it was pretty cruel to make me wait. When Dr Jun heard of it, she immediately called me and said that I was sorry I was put in this predicament and gave us the happy news that both our embryos were pga normal. I felt that she went out of her way to make the situation better and I always felt that she was in my corner!
Describe the protocols Sunny Jun used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.

Describe Sunny Jun's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.
We had fertility benefits that wouldn’t let us do multiple embryo transfer, and she was quite clear as to why it’s not a great idea. We only had 2 embryos so I felt better to do one at a time.
What specific things went wrong at CCRM San Francisco?
  • Failed to call with results
Describe the specific things that went wrong at CCRM San Francisco.
At the time of my retrieval, I was told that I would be told how many would be embryos at day 7. I got a call on day 7 telling me that I had 2 embryos and that in 2 weeks I would get a call to let me know if they passed genetic testing. At the 2 week mark, I send a portal message to my nurse to see if I would get a call. I hear nothing. The next day I call the clinic and told that only Dr Jun can give me that information and that the next available time she had was in two more weeks. I was furious! If I needed an appointment for the answer I should have been given one at the 7 day call, and I felt like it was quite cruel for them to do this. I called and talked to the nurse and the coordinator and sent a very clear message that they had dropped the ball and it wasn’t ok. The next day I got a call from Dr Jun, she apologized and said that they should have made an appointment and that it wasn’t ok that I was tossed around. She had heard from my nurse that I was upset and she said rightly so! As much as it was a difficult situation, I felt heard and hoped that they learned from this!

We were extremely impressed by Dr. Salem's depth of knowledge, his deep involvement in our case and his astounding ability to be one step ahead of us in anticipating and assuaging our concerns before we expressed them. He was extremely empathetic to our situation and constantly advocated for a well rounded healthy diet and lifestyle to boost the chances of a successful IVF procedure. He never prescribed unnecessary supplements or medications throughout the IVF process and kept a close watch for possible side effects caused by hormonal injections.
Our nurse [at CCRM San Francisco] always took the time to answer all questions we had about the instructions and medications. She would always call promptly to share test results(even if they were normal)...Once you get onboarded, the appointments for Ultrasound, Genetic Testing, and lab tests were easy to schedule and their results were always delivered on time. - There is no wait time if you are on time for your appointment at the clinic - It's clean and well maintained...
How was your experience with Wael Salem at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr. Salem is phenomenal and has exceeded our expectations with his deep expertise in fertility treatments and quality of care. Dr. Salem and his team went above and beyond in explaining every step of the IVF process in detail, presented us with a well thought out set of options for our course of treatment and provided us with solid advice every step of the way.

Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco.
Our nurse always took the time to answer all questions we had about the instructions and medications. She would always call promptly to share test results(even if they were normal). She was more excited than us about embryo transfers and the pregnancy. It was great having her as a part of our journey.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
Strengths: - They seem to have a well-established protocol in place for every stage of the IVF process. - Once you get onboarded, the appointments for Ultrasound, Genetic Testing, and lab tests were easy to schedule and their results were always delivered on time. - There is no wait time if you are on time for your appointment at the clinic - It's clean and well maintained - As someone not comfortable with hospitals and needles, the blood draw technicians were wonderful and made me feel so comfortable that I never hated going to the clinic for blood tests. Additional staff like anesthesiologists, and nurses during procedures were very warm and caring as well. I always felt like I was in the best hands possible Weaknesses: - Getting the initial appointment was hard for us because the clinic never answers phone calls and it always goes to voicemail. However, once you are onboarded they take care of booking appointments so this is not a problem - For the same reason mentioned above, if you want to discuss something with a nurse over a phone call that cannot be discussed over the portal, and if your primary nurse is out of the office, it is extremely hard to get a hold of someone to talk to - If your primary nurse is unavailable, another nurse will call you with the results, etc. But half of them do not care enough and act like they are doing the patient a favor. A couple of nurses just asked me to wait until my primary nurse got back even though it was a time-sensitive issue and finally I was able to get a hold of another nurse who helped me - offboarding was not smooth either. After transferring records from CCRM to my ob-gyn, they never let me know or confirmed with my ob-gyn that my medical records were received. After multiple follow-ups, it turned out that records were lost and I ended up having to share the results myself. - We were almost always given the wrong link/link was missing for the video calls with the Doctor

she didn't push me to IVF but patiently answered my questions...Dr. Tazuke did the hysteroscopy and frozen embryo transfer. She was gentle and careful during the procedure.

How was your experience with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
During the first meeting with Dr. Tazuke, she didn't push me to IVF but patiently answered my questions. She didn't exaggerate the IVF success rate considering my case. Later on I decided to do IVF with PGT/CCS to minimize any future miscarriage as much as possible, she prescribed the comprehensive tests in order to find out any potential cause of my RPL. I went through 3 egg retrievals. Luckily, the first transfer succeeded and I am now pregnant. Dr. Tazuke didn't do these egg retrievals for me (the other two doctors in the same clinic did them due to their schedules). After the bad outcomes of my first egg retrievals and potential bad results of the second one, she called me and encouraged me not to lose hope, that I could also keep trying naturally if I didn't want to continue the IVF treatment. She also provided options for me to try next. Luckily, we eventually have normal embryos to transfer. Dr. Tazuke did the hysteroscopy and frozen embryo transfer. She was gentle and careful during the procedure. Before the transfer, she had the mock transfer to make sure that everything will go well during the transfer. She is usually busy and has tight schedules. If there was any urgency, she was able to squeeze her time to see me. When we discussed about the transfer plan, she insisted that Lovenox wouldn't bring much benefit to me and it's painful to inject. I am glad that she made this decision rather than letting me inject Lovenox just in case. If there is anything that could make my IVF journey less emotional, I wish that Dr. Tazuke could have explicitly warned me that I might go through multiple retrievals due to egg quality issues. Again, there are many factors that may impact the outcome and doctors may not know for sure before the treatments. As the treatments went on, I also learned more things about RPL and watched some videos from other IVF doctors online who explained RPL in detail. It's a surprise to know that there are two extreme solutions: one is to keep trying naturally and the other is to do IVF with PGT testing. Dr. Tazuke did mention that persistent is important for IVF. I would encourage people to advocate for yourself and prepare yourself with questions.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
I would encourage people to advocate for yourself and prepare yourself with questions. If you are like me who tends to understand the whole process and why the doctor chooses this protocol not others, please don't be shy and ask questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
I usually met Dr. Tazuke before and after one cycle of retrieval or transfer. During the cycle, the sonographer did the ultrasound scan for me and my dedicated nurse provided the new instructions from Dr. Tazuke. When there were bad results, Dr. Tazuke called me and provided her opinions about what to do next. Before I started IVF treatments, I was very worried that the clinic would treat me like a number. It turned out that it's better than what I expected. I have advocated for myself and ask questions through the portal or the nurse. Dr. Tazuke replied me even in the after hours if the nurse could not answer my questions. I wish that I could have more chances to directly talk to the doctor though.
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco.
I changed my primary nurse during the treatment because the previous one left the clinic. As patients, we need to closely follow up with them and ask questions. My first nurse is detailed and professional. My second nurse is very friendly and patient. It was a bit harder to hold on to a real person through the phone last year. It has been greatly improved since 2022. Some mistakes or miscommunications I experienced are as follows. My previous nurse forgot to prescribe some supplement for me after Dr. Tazuke mentioned it to me. I didn't follow up on that and only found out before the second retrieval. I am not sure if that supplement would change the outcome of the first retrieval. But it feels bad that I didn't try everything then. When I reviewed the transfer plan with my second nurse, she realized that it's a wrong protocol after I asked some questions. She immediately changed to the correct one.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
According to others, CCRM has good labs and comprehensive protocols. I like them being more careful and thorough in terms of treatment plans. If it's possible, it would be nice to keep improving the client portal and communication channels between doctors and patients. It has been greatly improved since this year though. Please advocate yourself and prepare yourself with questions.

I have always felt comfortable with Dr. Tazuke in our visits and feel like I can ask my questions. Sometimes our telehealth visits have felt a bit rushed (when we are discussing test results) but I know that she is very busy...currently in stimulation for IVF, prepping for egg retrieval. I believe I am on an antagonist protocol. Priming was several estrogen patches and 3 Ganirelix shots about a week before my period. Current dosage is 75 IUs of Menopur and 225 IUs of Follistim per day, and I will be adding Ganirelix in a few days...
CCRM SF is an extremely efficient clinic. Every time I go there, I am amazed at the speed with which I am in and out (in a good way)...The portal is a little clunky but it's relatively easy to send messages and responses are always quick...she [nurse] is very responsive and always gets back to me very quickly whenever I have questions. All of the nurses have been very helpful and I never have to wait long for a response. My visits to the clinic and ultrasounds have always been pleasant...
How was your experience with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
I am currently in the process of treatment (IVF, stimulating for egg retrieval) so I cannot comment on any results. However, I have always felt comfortable with Dr. Tazuke in our visits and feel like I can ask my questions. Sometimes our telehealth visits have felt a bit rushed (when we are discussing test results) but I know that she is very busy.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
Be ready with your questions and know that you can also ask follow up questions later in the portal. Use your time with her wisely.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
I am always greeted warmly and during my in-person visits/procedures, Dr. Tazuke has always made me feel very comfortable.

I'm currently in stimulation for IVF, prepping for egg retrieval. I believe I am on an antagonist protocol. Priming was several estrogen patches and 3 Ganirelix shots about a week before my period. Current dosage is 75 IUs of Menopur and 225 IUs of Follistim per day, and I will be adding Ganirelix in a few days. Trigger is set to be a mix of HCG and Lupron. We have briefly discussed approaches to prep for the frozen transfer. Since I have endometriosis, Dr. Tazuke recommended either laparoscopic surgery or Lupron shots prior to transfer; I have not decided yet on which treatment strategy to pursue.
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco. (Assigned nurse: Margaret)

Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
CCRM SF is an extremely efficient clinic. Every time I go there, I am amazed at the speed with which I am in and out (in a good way). Everyone, from the receptionist to the phlebotomist to the nurses to the doctors, are efficient and professional. I always feel like I am in good hands. Communication has been very good overall, although sometimes I've had to wait a little bit to get some answers from the financial coordinator. The portal is a little clunky but it's relatively easy to send messages and responses are always quick.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco.
IVF cycle ($18,992) - includes CCS testing of 3-4 embryos (will be more if testing more embryos) and 1 year of frozen storage, $5000-$6000 for medication, $5392 for frozen embryo transfer, will be additional costs for hysteroscopy
Describe Salli Tazuke's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.
I believe only eSET is allowed at the clinic, which I am fine with.
What specific things went wrong at CCRM San Francisco?
  • Failed to call with results
Describe the specific things that went wrong at CCRM San Francisco.
I had one test done - the ReceptivaDX test - which was sent to a special lab. I was told that I would have my results in 2-3 days, and I waited for over a week with no word. I got an email from the lab itself about a bill, but still no results. So I contacted the clinic for an update and the next day they sent me my results. I wished I had received them sooner, when they were clearly ready sooner, as I was really anxious about receiving that information.

Dr. Tazuke is a very caring doctor. She always thinking of patient's needs...microdose lupron protocol...retrieved 19 eggs, 14 matured, 10 fertilized, 7 fertilized eggs turned to be blast and 4 embryos with high quality passed the genetic test...single embryo transfer...very advanced surgical skills. After egg retrieval and uterine polyps removal surgeries, I even did not have any spotting on my underwear...
CCRM's strengths are they have very good lab with advanced fertility technique which other labs does not...Weakness: The portal system of CCRM always go down. CCRM should hire more software engineer to maintain this system...My nurse Elana is very responsible and take care of my case step by step. She is very detail-oriented person...very grateful of Dr. Tazuke and Dr. Salem. Both of them have a very advanced surgical skills...
How was your experience with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
I had my first cycle at other clinic but failed. My amh is 2.0-2.3 and AFC is around 18. The first cycle I did at other clinic ended up with zero embryo. Then I went to see Dr. Tazuke at CCRM. The protocol she planned for me is very perfect and eventually I retrieved 19 eggs, 14 matured, 10 fertilized, 7 fertilized eggs turned to be blast and 4 embryos with high quality passed the genetic test. The four embryos are 5AA,5AA,5BA,5BB. I very appreciate Dr. Tazuke's help! She is very professional and knowledgable. Also, she takes care of her patients very much and always thinking of patient's needs first. She is the best doctor I have ever seen! I have a hyman tissue outside of vagina since I was born. I went to see many doctors and they all think it is fine. But I was very worried about this tissue could give my delivery a hard time. After vagina exam, Dr. Tazuke suggested me to do a small surgery to correct the position of this hyman tissue otherwise I would have a blood bleeding issue after delivery. She does not want me to suffer a painful during the vagina delivery and this hyman tissue makes my sexual life for a long hard time. Finally, she asked Dr. Salem who was on duty of my egg retrieval did the surgery on my hyman tissue. I was very grateful of Dr. Tazuke and Dr. Salem. Both of them have a very advanced surgical skills. After egg retrieval and uterine polyps removal surgeries, I even did not have any spotting on my underwear! The doctors at CCRM are amazing!

Trust your doctor and express all your thoughts and needs with Dr. Tazuke. She will help you a lot.

Dr. Tazuke is a very caring doctor. She always thinking of patient's needs.
Describe the protocols Salli Tazuke used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.
The protocol I used is called microdose lupron protocol. I had four days vivelle patch and changed each one every other day. Then on day 4, I had the cetrotide injection. The first four days are priming treatment. The purpose of it is to suppress the eggs to the same baseline so they could grow up at the same pace. Then every morning I had 20 iu micro dose lupron injection and took one tablet of Dexamethasone. Every night I had 225 gonal F and 0.3 ml Omnitrope and 20iu micro dose lupron. I had the blood work and ultrasound exam every other day at CCRM. I was triggered at day 10 of stimulation. Finally I retrieved 19 eggs, 14 matured, 10 fertilzied, 7 embryos and 4 passed genetic test.

My nurse Elana is very responsible and take care of my case step by step. She is very detail-oriented person.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
CCRM's strengths are they have very good lab with advanced fertility technique which other labs does not. I believe CCRM has the top 1 lab among all fertility clinics around the states. CCRM has a highly reputation and long history in fertility area. The founder of CCRM dr. Schoolcraft is a legend in this world. Weakness: The portal system of CCRM always go down. CCRM should hire more software engineer to maintain this system.

How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
She's definitely an expert in her field. However, she tends to get easily defensive when questioned about reasoning or benefits of certain treatments. At times, her recommendations seemed driven more by business acumen than medical profession. She seems to approach the overall IVF journey as matter of fact rather than showing empathy and compassion. She rarely took responsibility nor apologized for her staff's mistakes although some of them were more serious. In the end we just referred to her as Dr Robot as she seemed so unemotional and purely operational.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
She'll most likely get the job done. Just remember to keep advocating for yourself and don't expect any warmth or compassion.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
IVF is a very emotional, physical, and mental rollercoaster. It would have made a big difference to be treated with empathy and concern.
Describe the protocols Sunny Jun used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.
First retrieval: standard CCRM protocol Second retrieval: lower dosage Transfer: antihistamine protocol
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco. (Assigned nurse: 3 in total, ranging from not bothered, decided independently of treating doctor, and finally great)
Third time's a charm - our third and final nurse was finally great and took good care of us. The first one neither understood nor cared for her work. The second one made decisions and recommendations that weren't in line with the doctor's guidance.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
Strengths: clear leader in the field, believe in alternative treatments incl. acupuncture & supplements, well structured Weaknesses: clinic almost runs like a corporation so it's tough to get face time with treating doctor outside of procedures, horrendous on-boarding as new nurses didn't seem to know their own standard processes, hired dedicated resource to improve patient experience but he never responded to or followed up on feedback

Sunny Jun was referred by family and close friends. I went to her without reading reviews nor questioning anyone's experience. It was a disaster. She has NO empathy. Literally behaved like a BOT. Her instructions for medications does not match with what the NPs or Co-ordinators who communicate. You cannot get a response her directly...Doctor said "X" and coordinator added more and I was questioned by Dr on my ability to follow instructions
CCRM and in general Sunny Jun has std protocols ( one size fits all)...Multiple follow ups are required to get answers from patient co-ordinators. Overall, a TERRIBLE experience...Blood draw is seamless. Baseline scan - usually NPs take care of these. Pretty good. Getting medical records - Painful ( multiple follow ups are required) Clinic - Good labs Communicating medication etc : Poor. Lack of attention to details.
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Very poor experience. I wish I could have known this before engaging with Sunny Jun.I would not recommend anyone to go there except for the state of the art labs She lacks empathy, her conclusions to run tests without a need seems to be a pattern/ exploitative with questionable practices as OBGYNs and 8 other fertility clinics wouldnt see a need to run the tests that she recommended. Impossible to reach for any questions/ instructions. If you forget to ask in your apt, good luck getting your answer. She does not explain her plan/protocol clearly. Most of the times why "X" is recommended is not clear. She does not follow up nor conclude the diagnosis. Multiple follow ups are required to get answers from patient co-ordinators. Overall, a TERRIBLE experience.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Please have empathy and try to position yourself in patient's shoes. If you cannot handle patient volumes, either add more docs or reduce your patient intake. Try to give the care the patients deserve!

She [Dr. Jun] lays out the all the facts and circumstances, takes time to carefully explain what to expect, what is going on, what can be done, and allows the my partner and I to digest the information before making any decisions. While she does provide her recommendations, she also provides alternatives so that as a patient, I can choose what I am comfortable with. This is makes me feel like I am still able to control my body, rather than being treated as just another patient going through the IVF machine...
The clinic facility [CCRM San Francisco] feels clean and spacious and appropriately equipped. While a lot of patients go through every hour, everything feels completely sanitary and never crowded...My primary nurse coordinator Ellie is great...She is super organized and will make sure that you complete all the paperwork correctly and respond to any questions timely. All the nursing staff that I have interacted with at CCRM have been very nice...
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
I have completed 2 egg retrievals so far and frozen a few genetically normal embryos. There are a few things in particularly that makes me really appreciate Dr. Jun's approach: 1) I think she laid out a good strategy that works for me and my partner. At my age and with my already diminished ovarian reserve, she suggested that we figure out how many children we potentially want to have and work on creating enough embryos to be able to realize our goals. This way, I am currently only focused on the success of each IVF cycle based on the results from each retrieval. I have not done implantation yet and don't have to deal with the disappointments from any unsuccessful attempts. Emotionally, this keeps me much more focused and balanced. Once I have collected a sufficient number of embryos, I would move on to the next phase. While this approach is designed to collect my eggs sooner rather than later to ensure higher quality, it has the added benefit of avoiding that feeling of having to start all over from square one if there is a failed implantation. 2) Dr Jun suggested that I get tested for endometriosis after the completion of the first retrieval. I appreciated that she waited to see the results from 1 cycle before suggesting this, especially given that the test was not covered by insurance. This made me feel like Dr. Jun is also sensitive to how much the patient has to spend on this process. Dr. Jun makes it clear that the body is slightly different every cycle, so it is not an exact science when trying out different protocols from one cycle to the next. I have been put on different protocols each time, presumably based on prior cycle's results and additional diagnostic information obtained regarding my endometrial condition. However, it would be helpful to hear from Dr. Jun or my nurse coordinator what is being considered to arrive at the decisions behind the changes to each cycle's protocol, medication changes, dosage changes, etc. Providing a little more insight and helping the patient understand the protocol better would help ease the suspicion that the whole process might be based on random guesswork.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Be as prepared as possible with all the questions you have. Dr. Jun will cover the basics and answer all the questions you have, but it is up to the patient to drill into the details. If you're the type of person that cares about the details, it is best to come prepared to each scheduled meeting, given that you would probably only interact with Dr. Jun once, maybe twice, throughout each cycle.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
All my encounters, including Zoom meetings and diagnostic procedures, with Dr. Jun have been very professional and courteous. She lays out the all the facts and circumstances, takes time to carefully explain what to expect, what is going on, what can be done, and allows the my partner and I to digest the information before making any decisions. While she does provide her recommendations, she also provides alternatives so that as a patient, I can choose what I am comfortable with. This is makes me feel like I am still able to control my body, rather than being treated as just another patient going through the IVF machine. IVF is a challenging process for any woman, and Dr. Jun's approach has kept me from developing resentment towards this long journey.
Describe the protocols Sunny Jun used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.
I don't feel like I have a good understanding of the rationale behind my treatment strategies and protocols used in each cycle. This is an area where I think Dr. Jun could spend some time with the patient to explain at the beginning of each cycle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco. (Assigned nurse: Ellie)
My primary nurse coordinator Ellie is great. She has been doing this for a long time and does a great job of hand holding me through each step. She is super organized and will make sure that you complete all the paperwork correctly and respond to any questions timely. All the nursing staff that I have interacted with at CCRM have been very nice. I have a real fear of needles and an oddly positioned ovary that makes it dreadful to go into the clinic frequently for the mandatory in-cycle blood work and ultrasounds. However, the staff has been so empathetic and tries their best to ease my anxiety and discomfort. This makes the word's difference for me, and is probably one of the biggest reasons that I recommended another friend to also seek fertility treatment at CCRM.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
The clinic facility feels clean and spacious and appropriately equipped. While a lot of patients go through every hour, everything feels completely sanitary and never crowded. I have only experienced long wait times (close to an hour past my scheduled appointment) a couple of times when the clinic runs behind schedule. I have not had any negative experience with any staff member; all the staff members are on top of things and trying to help me make the best out of this less than ideal journey that I am not particularly enthused about going on. I am dealing with some billing issues that I believe was processed in error; however, I don't know if the error originated with the clinic's billing department or my insurance carrier.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco.
My costs are covered by insurance, so I am responsible for my annual deductible up to the out of pocket maximum. The only cost that was not covered was the Receptiva test to diagnosis the possibility of endometriosis. However, the clinic was very upfront about communicating that this would not be covered by my insurance.
Describe Sunny Jun's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.
We have not reached this stage nor discussed the approach to embryo transfer.

I received extremely individualized and personal care. Dr. Jun remembered the details of my case, followed up personally and promptly, tested and adjusted my meds regularly and provided me with options throughout the process...We did our own research and asked a lot of questions, pushed back a few times, and even assembled a panel of outside physicians to have in our back pocket. Dr.Jun answered all our questions with the most recent and up to date data, she worked with us every time we had a concern or constraint, and we ditched the other doctors very quickly. We had *insane* outcomes for our age/histories but that's not what drives this feedback - it was the process of working with her
Lisa [nurse at CCRM San Francisco] never disappointed me. She is *extremely* responsive and I say that as someone who works constantly including very early in the morning, late in the evening, and on the weekends. I had a few special med situations (traveling, needing meds on very short notice due to changes in protocol, pharmacies not having enough supply) and she took care of everything so it was never a problem for me. She and Dr.Jun are a very good team which also makes things extremely smooth - Lisa always knew what Dr.Jun told me or wanted.
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr.Jun is an incredible physician and I say this as someone who knows they are a demanding patient. We did our own research and asked a lot of questions, pushed back a few times, and even assembled a panel of outside physicians to have in our back pocket. Dr.Jun answered all our questions with the most recent and up to date data, she worked with us every time we had a concern or constraint, and we ditched the other doctors very quickly. We had *insane* outcomes for our age/histories but that's not what drives this feedback - it was the process of working with her. We knew with full conviction that she did everything to optimize our outcomes before we even had them (and I'm serious, we had bonkers good results....)
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
To trust that she is an actual legend who is fully invested in your case. Which is hard to do for such an intimate and vulnerable thing. She is there to work with you, and trusting her/letting her is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
I loved CCRM SF (in Menlo). I never once had to wait for an appointment which is a huge deal given how often you have to be there. The front desk staff are lovely and efficient. The phlebotomy team is *INCREDIBLE*. I have never had a painless blood draw before and I ONLY had painless blood draws at CCRM. I have no idea how they do it but they do. The office itself is very nice and clean and pleasant. Even the financial department is really lovely.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco.
I believe it is on the higher end. We opted for everything and spent ~$20k at CCRM not including meds.
Describe Sunny Jun's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.

[Dr. Sunny Jun] She always takes the time to call me back if I have questions...She always made time for me and understood our situation...[she]recommended mini-IVF for me and explained that research has shown older women do not respond well to high doses of stim meds...She also recommended we try PICSI and not just ICSI to increase our odds...
[nurse of CCRM San Francisco] was always there for my appointments and really helped with info whenever I needed anything... clinic focuses on a healthy pregnancy and will only transfer one embryo if it has been PGS tested...We were offered a 3-cycle packaged aimed at really helping us conceive...[cost]We did a 3-cycle mini IVF protocol including ICSI and PGS...The package was $27,000 for 3 retrievals with early embryo banking, ICSI and PGS.
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
We moved to CCRM after two failed cycles at another clinic. One of the reasons we switched was at the previous clinic it was never a guarantee that we would see our doctor. My retrievals and transfers were scheduled with other doctors so we were thrilled to find a clinic where we would always see Dr Jun for all important appointments and procedures. She always made time for me and understood our situation. A previous clinic did not refer to my chart more than once when deciding next steps and gave us poor advice, but Dr Jun has always been on top of everything. She makes me feel like I’m her only patient.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
She’s caring, experienced, and knowledgeable. I previously thought all doctors were the same, some just had better bedside manners than other, but Dr Jun showed me that she will take the time to learn about us, our situation, and provide scientific research backing her decisions for us.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr Jun is very caring. She always takes the time to call me back if I have questions (other than simple administrative questions my nurse coordinator can answer). I feel like she genuinely cares for me and wants to help us have a baby.
Describe the protocols Sunny Jun used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.
Dr Jun recommended mini-IVF for me and explained that research has shown older women do not respond well to high doses of stim meds. With minimal stim, I had the exact same number of eggs retrieved (5) as I did with a high dose of medication. She also recommended we try PICSI and not just ICSI to increase our odds. And after 3 cycles with low fertilization rates, she recommended we try calcium ionophore with our next cycle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco. (Assigned nurse: Diane)
The nursing staff is phenomenal. Angie, one of the head nurses was always there for my appointments and really helped with info whenever I needed anything. My nurse coordinator, Diane, was very helpful. Our previous clinic did not assign us a nurse coordinator and it lead to so many issues with nurses not understanding my history or situation. Diane was always familiar with my case and very helpful and would engage Dr Jun whenever I asked or if I had a detailed question.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
CCRM was our second clinic and instantly showed us what it was like to have personalized care. It was drastically different from our first clinic where we felt like just a number. The clinic is very welcoming, all of the staff are amazing, and they give you a personalized experience. We were offered a 3-cycle packaged aimed at really helping us conceive. The only downsides we have experienced were when we were initially getting set up with the clinic. We sent over our medical records from a previous clinic and CCRM could not find some of our previous tests. I ended up searching them myself and sending screen shots of the pages of my records to the team. It was a simple search that took me a few minutes and it surprised me that they didn’t think to do the same. From a financial perspective, the clinic offers multi-cycle packages which were much more affordable than our first clinic. The only downside was I had two experiences where I received a bill through the portal and paid online and then they called to tell me I hadn’t paid and had an outstanding balance. After telling them I paid online they looked to see I had. I wish the online portal showed all payments, both those done in the clinic and online to keep track of everything better.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco.
We did a 3-cycle mini IVF protocol including ICSI and PGS. They told me it was a special package available for women 43 and older and I had just turned 43. The package was $27,000 for 3 retrievals with early embryo banking, ICSI and PGS. Transfers were an extra cost (we’re not there yet)
Describe Sunny Jun's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.
Our clinic focuses on a healthy pregnancy and will only transfer one embryo if it has been PGS tested.

Dr. Tazuke is really kind. It’s been a long year of four retrievals and then two cancelled transfer dates (one was due to my mistake in missing a progesterone dose which put the transfer at risk, next time I ovulated). I was tired after the year but she was encouraging, suggesting that I hang in there, and here we are on the 3rd transfer 5 weeks pregnant. It’s early but the first ultrasound was promising... She recommended unblocking a tube and I found a surgeon to do that...I am 42, had diminished ovarian reserves, a blocked tube. It took 4 retrieval’s. First three had no viable embryos. The fourth resulted in two 5AA. I felt I hit the lottery. I then went and got the surgery to unblock the tube. I came back and we had two cancelled FETs - one due to a mistakenly late progesterone dose on my part, 2nd due to ovulation. She made the calls to cancel - they were good calls as disappointed as I was. We transferred this month and I am 5 weeks pregnant and hoping we are on the path.
[CCRM San Francisco has a] Great location off of 101 on Menlo Park...Early hours...Relaxing waiting room...Beautiful surgery center for retrieval and transfer...They [nurses] send me an email of my message schedule after trying to leave a voicemail by my request. I work in tech and cannot take calls at work. The write up is so critical for me to follow the directions. Through screwing up, I learned how critical med timing is in this treatment. A delayed progesterone required me to cancel my FET. The stakes are high and they were helpful...Early on, my nurse didn’t give me a detail on one do the injection timings. I freaked out and from then on asked that she send me a detailed email every time l. She did that and things were smooth sailing.
How was your experience with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
She is smart. She recommended unblocking a tube and I found a surgeon to do that. I trust her and we are now 5 weeks pregnant. I am 42, had diminished ovarian reserves, a blocked tube.

Dr. Jun is personable and I was very comfortable with her as my doctor. She is passionate about helping her patients achieve their goal of having a baby and treats you like a person (as opposed to just a number). I always felt like she had my best interest at heart. ... She custom adjusted my dosage based on how my body was reacting to the medication and followed daily bloodwork closely. ... Also, she is extremely knowledgeable, is very experienced, and is up to date on all of the current studies regarding fertility and pregnancy.
The clinic [CCRM San Francisco] is newer and has a comfortable and sleek waiting area (which includes snacks, coffee, and waters). They open as early as 7am which works out well for working patients since I was able to get an appointment/blood draws before work. It was easy to get a same day appointment when I really needed it (especially during in cycle when each day is critical).

I would urge all prospective patients to make an appointment for an initial consultation sooner rather than later (even if they are only sort of thinking about pursuing treatment). The initial consultation provides a ton of useful information and gives you all the facts to make the best decision on how to move forward.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr. Jun spent a significant amount of time explaining all of the available procedures and what to expect during our initial consultation.

She is kind and empathetic while being realistic and fact/data based.

Dr Jun decreased my Gonal-F dose from 150U to 125U for most of the injection period, after reviewing my bloodwork consistently. She also provided the green light for triggering ovulation at the sweet spot between when I would have a lot of eggs to be retrieved and not being too prone to OHSS...remembered who I was and provided me with personalized care... Though I didn't see her much during appointments, she reviewed all of my bloodwork and ultrasounds results every day and recommended the right treatment for the next day. The highly personalized treatment resulted in a very successful egg retrieval (they were able to freeze 22 eggs in one cycle), and almost no side effects.

Dr. Jun is skilled at boiling down what you need to know and delivering that information to you. If you are someone who needs more info, be sure to ask the questions. I did find that I tended to have questions as soon as I processed the information and had already left the office — but I was able to adjust and ensure I got the amount of info I wanted.
CCRM is very science focused. ... They have an onsite lab and operating rooms. It was always a great place to be. The only thing that could improve it would be an o site pharmacy considering how often you need meds. ... Throughout the experience, everyone was always kind and patient. I felt that I needed to be more proactive on the beginning, but towards the middle to end, the balance seemed to come together. All in all, it was a great experience.
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr. Jun is professional and knowledgeable. I never doubted her expertise during treatment and I absolutely recommend her (I felt the same way about her co-medical director, Dr. Tsuzuki who I saw, albeit rarely, if Dr. Jun was in an operation or out of office).

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Trust the process, ask questions, be patient.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
CCRM is very science focused. They are committed to proven protocols, and they do not like to veer from what they know. You need to understand this going into it. Once you accept this, it helps you understand why the countless tests and ultrasounds are important. Only when the environment of your body meets 100% of the metrics they are seeking will they move forward with the next step. This can be frustrating at times because your desire is to continue to move forward at a fast pace, however when you compare this style to other clinics, you can see the value. Other clinics will push on to the next stage with less confidence that the environment is condusive to success, and you can end up having to repeat the process over and over. CCRM commits to the metrics they know will work, and they wait for you to hit those metrics, then they act. This process can impact how you feel about being a number versus being human. But at the end of the day, this is a scientific process. From a social perspective, the staff & doctors are caring — very busy, but very caring.
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco. (Assigned nurse: Angela)
I believe that when I first began treatment, the staff was going through some changes. There were a handful of new people, and a new system they were using. I could tell that things were a bit chaotic. This did not affect my treatment, however the energy was a little more nervous than you’d anticipate. Later in my treatment, this calmed down. Throughout the experience, everyone was always kind and patient. I felt that I needed to be more proactive on the beginning, but towards the middle to end, the balance seemed to come together. All in all, it was a great experience.

Describe Sunny Jun's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.
CCRM focuses on successfully giving you what you want: a healthy pregnancy. To that end, they do not allow a double embryo transfer as that is automatically a higher risk pregnancy and could endanger both embryos. On your 2nd or later pregnancies, they may reconsider this, but for the 1st pregnancy, they do not take unnecessary risks.

My first transfer was cancelled as my lining became way too thick and Dr. Jun changed my protocol and switched to a natural cycle for my transfer...is incredibly compassionate and caring. She listens to your concerns and I believe whole heartedly she desires to help you achieve the outcome you have been dreaming for.
CCRM San Francisco has become so busy and everyone is doing the best that they can...I am so thankful that CCRM offers natural cycles as this protocol worked and seemed to really do well with my body!...The nursing staff overall is incredibly caring and knowledgeable. Once you are in a stim cycle they communicate quickly and they always care deeply. When I was not in a cycle it was harder to feel heard or to get a response from the nurses. There were also moments where I did not feel like I was given enough information.
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr. Jun is an incredibly thorough and seasoned Doctor. She is compassionate, empathetic, and incredibly hard working. She takes each step of your process with extreme consideration and precision. Though there were times we felt like maybe she was being a little too cautious in our particular case, we trust her whole heartedly and chose her because of her skill and knowledge. We are forever grateful for Dr. Jun and all of her passion for her field and amazing skill. Everyone at CCRM is absolutely phenomenal and striving beside you for the same dream!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Trust her! She without a doubt has your best interest at heart.

Dr. Jun is incredibly compassionate and caring. She listens to your concerns and I believe whole heartedly she desires to help you achieve the outcome you have been dreaming for.
Describe the protocols Sunny Jun used in your cycles at CCRM San Francisco and their degree of success.
We have male factor infertility so my protocol was pretty straight forward. Even though I had previously had a successful pregnancy with a different clinic, they still wanted to do a thorough assessment and I had a HSG and hysteroscopy along with my retrieval and frozen transfer. My egg retrieval was almost 14 days long with a more slow and steady approach with frequent check -ins. My first transfer was cancelled as my lining became way too thick and Dr. Jun changed my protocol and switched to a natural cycle for my transfer. I am so thankful that CCRM offers natural cycles as this protocol worked and seemed to really do well with my body!
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM San Francisco. (Assigned nurse: Michaela)
The nursing staff overall is incredibly caring and knowledgeable. Once you are in a stim cycle they communicate quickly and they always care deeply. When I was not in a cycle it was harder to feel heard or to get a response from the nurses. There were also moments where I did not feel like I was given enough information. For example, I had to rush home from work midday to do my first stim injection, and I had no idea that I was to be on bed rest for 2 days after my transfer. I feel like if there was a little more explanation and forethought I could have avoided these situations which added stress to the process. We also started with a different nurse that left CCRM. Once she left we were placed on a new nurses caseload, but we felt like we were invisible and were having to constantly contact the clinic to get things going and ask for next steps. As it was the beginning of the cycle I was nervous that this might not be the best place for us, so I talked to Dr. Jun about not feeling heard and she was very empathetic and listened well. I felt more prioritized after that conversation, but there were moments again that I wish there was more explanation and forethought. I do not think this experience is due to lack of skill or care, but just see that CCRM San Francisco has become so busy and everyone is doing the best that they can.
Describe your experience with CCRM San Francisco.
CCRM is a top notch, thorough, and skilled clinic. I do hope that they provide attainable working hours for their employees, and that they continue to sustainably grow their practice in San Francisco. They are helping so many people and doing so much good!
Describe the costs associated with your care under Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco.
We were so thankful to have Progyny health coverage. However, even with this coverage there were some meds that were not covered and we still ended up paying around $3,000 out of pocket. Nothing to complain about!
Describe Sunny Jun's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.
Dr. Jun and CCRM has amazing transfer rates so she highly recommended a single embryo transfer and we agreed!

Dr Jun was extremely thorough from the get go. ... Dr Jun’s approach was so refreshingly different, she did not rush me into anything she did a battery of comprehensive tests and unconvered things my previous doctor did not even suggest in the 3 years we saw him. ... Dr Jun is extremely patient and compassionate and surely knows what she’s doing. ... She diagnosed me with endometriosis and suggested we do PICSI to be better our chances and it worked for us!
CCRM is an established name and our accupuncturist recommended the clinic when they opened up a new branch in Nor Cal. The facility is top notch with a really great and hard working staff who are always avialble when you need them ... Dr Jun explained the risks with multiples and given the grade of our euploid embryos was very particular about using a single embryo to transfer. We trusted her decision and it worked for us.
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
As I detailed in my previous description, Dr Jun is extremely patient and compassionate and surely knows what she’s doing. We are so thankful for her. She has been so thorough and her approach to our treatment has been such a refreshing change from our previous experience. She diagnosed me with endometriosis and suggested we do PICSI to be better our chances and it worked for us!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Listen to her advice and your Nurse practitioner! And don’t rush into anything take your time like Dr Jun says!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr Jun was extremely thorough from the get go. When I went to see Dr Jun I had almost given up hope after 5 years of TTC , 3 years of continuous treatment that included 3 retrievals 8 transfer and 3 pregnancy losses. I was close to giving up but went to see Dr Jun to get a second opinion before we threw in the towel. Dr Jun’s approach was so refreshingly different, she did not rush me into anything she did a battery of comprehensive tests and unconvered things my previous doctor did not even suggest in the 3 years we saw him. She was so understanding through the entire process and clearly felt like magic for us! We had the best response with our 1st retrieval with her (my 4th one) and she managed to get us 7 euploid embryos!!! And we are currently pregnant after our first frozen transfer with her!! We are extremely grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to begin or continue their IVF journey.

[Dr. Jun was] very clear in laying out the entire process, including education and what to expect every step of the way. If we had ideas, they would always consider it and research it and get back to us with their thoughts... Working with her felt like having a very dear friend manage your care. She operated with the empathy and tenderness needed and was able to deliver bad news in a really honest and considerate way.
They [staff at CCRM] took our calls when we celebrated, they were our shoulders to cry on( believe me there will be some tears), they are amazing in their support system. We received more than empathy, we received a loving community led by this amazing team and it was just absolutely everything we could have hoped for...It was a general fee for each Ivf round -15K approximately Ccrm has other plans for multiple rounds but we elected to go round by round.
How was your experience with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr Jun was simply amazing. Working with her felt like having a very dear friend manage your care. She operated with the empathy and tenderness needed and was able to deliver bad news in a really honest and considerate way.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Use her kindness and accessory her knowledge. If you see something during your google searches, she will take the time to answer all those questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco?
Just the best! Infertility is such an emotional and sensitive topic that most of the people around you can never really empathize or understand. Women end up going to anonymous online support groups for their community and to find a team that truly understands our plight can be really difficult. We were referred to and spoke with many of the popular and reputable IVF clinics in the Bay Area and didn’t get that empathetic feel we desired. Some felt like a factory where you would rarely see the doctor. Some felt like like a very high pressure sales tactics. Knowing how expensive this will be, getting the right doctor and team was really important. Low and behold, our ob mentioned that ccrm was opening a new office led by Dr. Sunny Jun and Dr. Tazuke. CCRM already has a great reputation in the Ivf world so we were optimistic but cautiously optimistic bc infertility is such a struggle. And then we met Dr. Jun and Dr. Tazuke. You will never meet a nicer and more empathetic team. They are truly rooting for you and are very honest about everything but deliver great news and bad news in such an empathetic way that it really encourages you to keep on. We worked with Dr. Jun and Lisa who are grand slams! They were very clear in laying out the entire process, including education and what to expect every step of the way. If we had ideas, they would always consider it and research it and get back to us with their thoughts. What doctor do you know would listen to their patients about new info and consider it so thoughtfully. Not many. They took our calls when we celebrated, they were our shoulders to cry on( believe me there will be some tears), they are amazing in their support system. We received more than empathy, we received a loving community led by this amazing team and it was just absolutely everything we could have hoped for.

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Jun. She was the only doctor I saw that required a mammogram before starting IVF and because she did I was lucky to find pre-cancerous cells that were removed just in time. My Oncologist told me that she saved my life so I am forever grateful to her. I will be starting my cycle in January and I wish I had gone to her sooner.
Strengths [of CCRM-MP] - the top lab in the country if not world, top doctors and support team that is excellent. Weakness- does not take insurance (so far). If I had insurance that covered IVF, this would have been a deal breaker. I went through IVF with insurance coverage years ago and it just makes a terrible, stressful experience so much less so. I always appreciated that doctor's office for taking insurance and also making sure they maximized my benefits.

I always appreciated that doctor's office for taking insurance and also making sure they maximized my benefits. Not many doctors do that in Nor Cal so it was worth it for me to fly down to L.A. to see this doctor that took my insurance. It would really set CCRMM apart if they took insurance. Not to mention, I believe it's the morally right thing to do. Infertility is a life-changing, terrible thing to experience.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Sunny Jun at CCRM San Francisco.
Definitely higher than the other clinics in the area. With meds maybe $20K per cycle.

Dr. Tazuke was almost a non entity during the course of my IVF cycle. She did not perform any of my prep and never met me face to face during the course of my care. When my IVF cycle resulted in results that skewed negatively to range of results (Eggs retrieved to Eggs fertilized to Embryos), Dr. Tazuke's only guidance was to begin Acai supplements (through an affiliate link to purchase). She was either unwilling or unable to provide any guidance on what or how to adjust treatment in a subsequent cycle...

Do you research on CCRM's results. They are sub industry standard.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
Dr. Tazuke was extremely detached from the process of my IVF cycle. I saw her twice during the process, in the initial consultation (sales pitch) and then after the cycle to discuss the results.

They used an Antagonist protocol.

Dr Sunny Jun was great. She was extremely succinct, no BS and got the job done efficiently and succesfully. I really liked her style...When I skipped couple of PIO injections in the first trimester she changed my regimen to a stricter one and explained to me how I cud risk losing the pregnancy. That was exactly the scolding I needed. My little boy is 3 months old today thanks to Dr Jun. He is a miracle of love, science and god’s blessings...
I loved CCRM [San Francisco]. It felt like concierge medicine. I was in/out with ultrasound,blood work and consultations in less than 30 minutes which I loved as a busy professional. Even on the day of embryo transfer, I took conference calls from the car as the process was very efficient. My favorite person in the clinic was the plebologist. He was super efficient and could find my veins easily( no one in any other lab cud effectively draw my blood without 3-4 pokes). Overall 5 star experience...

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
I feel like Dr. Jun was creative and willing to work with more difficult cases. We had one round of IVF that failed and she suggested a new approach that gave us some early good results (though it's too soon to know if we'll have a successful pregnancy). She celebrated success with us while also keeping expectations realistic. ... She was good about knowing my history and making recommendations based on that.
Strengths: Top notch facility [CCRM], modern equipment, in-house surgery center, very thorough testing, great phlebotomists, friendly staff, creative and persistent doctor. Weaknesses: Wait times can be long when they're backed up or busy. ... The coordinator staff turns over fairly quickly. It would be nice to work with the same person through all my treatment but I've had three different coordinators in the last year.
