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.

How was your experience with William Alexander Freije at Ember Fertility Center?
Dr. Freije is someone who truly puts the mind at ease. As a single person who, due to my parents' failed marriage, chose not to have a partner but still wanted a child, particularly a daughter, I faced opposition from my family. Dr. Freije provided me with emotional comfort and was straightforward about the probabilities and the required stimulation cycles. He organized my chaotic needs and concerns into a reasonable and compassionate process, all while maintaining high efficiency.
This year, my AMH level was only 1.04, which belongs to premature ovarian failure. Despite this, Dr. Freije and I are seizing the last best time. After the first stimulation cycle in April, I had an excellent male embryo. However, since I was set on having a girl, Dr. Freije advised a three-month adjustment and asked me to carefully record my menstrual cycle and duration. Following this, I was fortunate to have an embryo of a girl. Throughout this period, Dr. Freije took the time to address my concerns and offer reassurance, which gradually improved my negative emotions. This experience was greatly supported by his attentive care.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Alexander Freije at Ember Fertility Center?
Before visiting Dr. Freije at this clinic, I had been to another clinic out of state. That clinic always seemed very busy and couldn’t allocate much time for communication, which left me feeling anxious and confused. I have specific requirements and strong preferences when it comes to fertility, so I needed more time to discuss my concerns with the doctor.
Dr. Freije was exactly what I was looking for. He took ample time to listen to my needs regarding sperm donors and the baby's gender, and he maintained close contact with me throughout the process. Every moment, he and his team showed great patience and went above and beyond my expectations, which gave me more confidence and eased my anxiety about the outcome. Of course, the final PGT report result was excellent, and I am very satisfied.
Dr. Freije is also very knowledgeable; he provided various treatment options for every question I had. Additionally, because I was afraid of pain, Dr. Freije was very understanding and opted for a full anesthesia egg retrieval procedure combined with advanced egg retrieval technology, which made me feel very secure.

I tend to get anxious and can become fearful of any tests, but Savaaih has always been by my side, offering a comforting hug when I'm upset and providing extremely detailed information when I need it. It has been a truly positive experience.
Describe your experience with Ember Fertility Center.
First of all, I have to say that the clinic's location is fantastic. I can even think of it as a mini-vacation, with beautiful Laguna Beach nearby. Everyone at the clinic is polite; From the moment I arrived, the front desk coordinator greeted me with a smile, remembered my name and needs, and made my visit comfortable. My schedule was tight, but the staff efficiently arranged my appointments with doctors and tests, minimizing wait times.
I went through 2 stimulation cycles, and the doctor adjusted the medication based on my varying physical conditions to ensure even follicle development.
Additionally, the clinic offers a wide range of sperm donors, and I was able to find a donor with the high IQ and Asian background that I needed.

How was your experience with William Alexander Freije at Ember Fertility Center?
In late March this year, I had my first video consultation with Dr. Freije. Because my schedule was extremely tight, the entire medical team made special arrangements to ensure I had the time to thoroughly understand the IVF process. Dr. Freije always approached our conversations with a gentle demeanor, dedicating ample time to explain any questions I had about my health indicators. He was completely honest with me about what treatment methods were best, which were effective, and which were not.
As someone who tends to be indecisive and detail-oriented, I greatly appreciated Dr. Freije's empathy and the meticulous plans he created for each step. He helped me make the most beneficial decisions without wasting time. During my ovarian stimulation period, I had to travel to Nevada for follow-up appointments, requiring flights back and forth. Dr. Freije always ensured there was ample time allocated for each visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Moreover, Dr. Freije’s extensive knowledge and experience were crucial to achieving the positive outcome I ultimately had.

And don’t worry about language barriers, as there are coordinators available for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese translations.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Alexander Freije at Ember Fertility Center?
Dr. Freije treated me like a true family member, showing great concern, making time for me, and giving me the utmost respect and care. Due to my long-term staying up late and social drinking, and given my age, my AMH level was only 0.7, which made egg retrieval a significant challenge. However, Dr. Freije and his team continuously encouraged me throughout the treatment. They took the time to comfort me whenever I felt anxious or upset, and I felt exceptionally well cared for. I was very fortunate that my personalized treatment plan went smoothly. Although I retrieved only 3 eggs, all of them matured, and 2 of them developed into blastocysts. It felt like hitting the jackpot, and it was absolutely amazing.
Dr. Freije's father was also a doctor, and he comes from a medical family. His own experience with IVF adds to his reliability and professionalism, and he truly understands my needs. He is an outstanding doctor.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Ember Fertility Center.
I have to say, all the nurses were fantastic. Each one was incredibly compassionate. When my primary nurse heard that I ended up with one male and one female embryo ready for transfer, and that the chromosomes were all healthy, she was moved to tears. It was truly touching. The nurses here are very organized and managed everything perfectly, even with my chaotic travel schedule. My primary nurse was kind, empathetic, and especially skilled at blood draws—there was absolutely no pain at all.
Describe your experience with Ember Fertility Center.
The experience at this clinic was excellent. First, they offer a wide and rich selection of sperm and surrogate mothers. The nurses mentioned that they have their own specialized sperm and egg bank, which perfectly matched my needs. I wanted a young, handsome sperm donor from an Ivy League school in the UK with a history of live births, and the clinic quickly identified excellent candidates for me.
Additionally, due to my own health issues, the number of eggs retrieved was very low. The doctor and the embryology lab director communicated with me in advance about the expected number, allowing me to set realistic expectations. The final result was much better than I had anticipated, and my family and I were extremely satisfied and happy.
Everyone here was very friendly, remembered my name, and always did their best to help me and answer any questions I had.

The timing for egg retrieval and implantation at this clinic is perfectly coordinated with my menstrual cycles, which is rare and very well-timed.

All procedures and follow-up appointments have met and exceeded my expectations.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with William Alexander Freije at Ember Fertility Center?
Just like any normal couple, my wife and I were extremely skeptical. Especially after having been to another clinic where they had already drained us both financially and emotionally. We scheduled our first appointment and met with Dr. Freije right away. He was upfront about the risks and possibilities, which is exactly what you expect from a doctor - honesty. We decided to go ahead with the IVF process. The process was indeed lengthy, but the team and Dr. Freije himself made it a bit more comforting.
Throughout the consultation, Dr. Freije was extremely kind and took the time to explain things to us and answer all our queries.

As a celibatarian, I don't have a strong desire for a partner. However, as I grow older, I start to worry that one day when I want a child, I might not have suitable eggs anymore. Dr. Freije suggested that I freeze embryos instead of eggs because the success rate of embryo transfer after freezing is higher. I appreciate Dr. Freije 's professionalism, which saves me from taking detours.
