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.

I appreciated that he [Dr. Jacobson] did not push or encourage more aggressive interventions (as one of his colleagues did on the day that I saw him), as he truly believed that my husband and I would be able to conceive using oral ovulation induction + timed intercourse
I have to say that I very much disliked the front desk staff [at Loma Linda Fertility] . The check-in/waiting room was very small, so you could hear everyone's information when they were checking in. I did not feel a strong connection with any of the nurses. I rarely spoke to them, unless they were taking vitals prior to my visit
How was your experience with John Jacobson at Loma Linda University?
Dr. Jacobson was level-headed, incredibly calm, and very reassuring. He was patient, answered all of my questions, and made me feel at ease. I appreciated that he did not push or encourage more aggressive interventions (as one of his colleagues did on the day that I saw him), as he truly believed that my husband and I would be able to conceive using oral ovulation induction + timed intercourse (I did not believe this to be true). Of course, he was right, and I am so thankful that he encouraged me to stay the course. I felt well taken care of.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of John Jacobson at Loma Linda University?
Ask your questions, voice your doubts, trust his answers.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with John Jacobson at Loma Linda University?
Dr. Jacobson was incredibly professional and very, very kind. I lived in a different region than my husband during treatment, had a very stressful job, and was having a difficult time coming to terms with my diagnosis and need for fertility treatment. Dr. Jacobson addressed these concerns and asked me how I was feeling whenever we met. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and it was obvious that he truly cared about his patients.
Describe the protocols John Jacobson used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
Standard Clomid protocol, switched to Femara due to thinner lining on Clomid, then standard protocol of Femara x 4 with 21 day progesterone. He modified the day/time frame that my husband and I should plan for intercourse based on my progesterone results each month. This worked!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Loma Linda University.
I did not feel a strong connection with any of the nurses. I rarely spoke to them, unless they were taking vitals prior to my visit (this was generally done by MAs) or relaying my progesterone results.
Describe your experience with Loma Linda University.
I have to say that I very much disliked the front desk staff. The check-in/waiting room was very small, so you could hear everyone's information when they were checking in. It did not help that the front desk staff was quite loud. Furthermore, at each visit I had to explain why the visit would be covered by my insurance as I was still in the process of work-up. This was a pain!
Describe the costs associated with your care under John Jacobson at Loma Linda University.
Each clinic visit was approx $200-400 (depending on ultrasound)

Dr. Bareh is the best infertility doctor that anyone can find...is caring, helpful, and all she wants is the best results for your treatment...always willing to answer any questions or concerns...time intercourse for both of my pregnancy...diagnosed with PCOS and uterine fibroids
[Loma Linda University is] very busy...times that the phone will go to voicemail...they will get back to you in a timely manner...MyChart which makes it easier and faster for them to get back to you...Nursing staff is very compassionate and helpful with all the patients.
How was your experience with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Dr. Bareh is the best infertility doctor that anyone can find. She is caring, helpful, and all she wants is the best results for your treatment. She is always willing to answer any questions or concerns. I feel blessed to have her as my doctor. She helped me get pregnant with two of my pregnancy’s. The process was easy and all my questions were helped during office visits or over the phone or MyChart. All the staff there are very helpful.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
One piece of advice I would give a prospective patient of Dr. Bareh is to please me patient with them as they have other patients just like you. They will treat you with the out most respect and care.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Dr. Bareh treats every one of her patients like humans because she cares for them and wants nothing but for them to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. She understands the stress and expense that it takes to go through infertility.
Describe the protocols Gihan Bareh used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
My treatment was time intercourse for both of my pregnancy. We went with this treatment because we knew we didn’t have trouble getting pregnant because we have two other kids prior to fertility treatment. I was diagnosed with PCOS and uterine fibroids and this time around we needed some help. She had me on Letrozole pills which started day three of period(two pills a day for five days), she also had me go in to get a vaginal ultrasound to make sure my ovaries are producing follicles with the medication and also on my lining, once I finished the medication and my ovaries and lining all looked good she had me use a trigger shot called Ovidrel. This trigger shot helped my ovaries release my egg/eggs and once I used the trigger shot we had to have intercourse the day of and the next three days. Then wait 14 days after trigger shot I would take a pregnancy test and let them know of my out come.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Loma Linda University.
The. Nursing staff is very compassionate and helpful with all the patients. They help with any questions that they can answer on their behalf of their nursing scope.
Describe your experience with Loma Linda University.
They are very busy and there will be times that the phone will go to voicemail but don’t stress they will get back to you in a timely manner. They understand the importance of your concern's. There are days that they have multiple procedures going on and patient visits so it makes it hard for the staff to answer all the calls. As long as you leave a detailed message they will definitely get back to you. I advise using MyChart which makes it easier and faster for them to get back to you.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University.
I was lucky because with time intercourse it was covered by my Health insurance and I just paid my $20 copay , $100 for the trigger shot, $30 for the Letrozole.

I saw Dr. Bareh at every visit and she was always kind and took her time...She does all of her own ultrasounds and procedures so it was comforting knowing that she knew exactly what goes on with every patient...explained procedures and medications relatively thoroughly and more so when I had questions
[Loma Linda University] are relatively quick with only having one physician. I never felt out of the loop. They try their best to work with your schedule as well as their own availability. There is only one doctor though, so be patient with her and the staff. They really do the best they can.
How was your experience with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
I saw Dr. Bareh at every visit and she was always kind and took her time. I never felt rushed. She explained procedures and medications relatively thoroughly and more so when I had questions. She does all of her own ultrasounds and procedures so it was comforting knowing that she knew exactly what goes on with every patient. She’s the worlds busiest woman as the only doctor at this clinic, but she never breaks a sweat.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Be prepared for a lot of appointments. And a lot of medication changes.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Dr. Bareh and her staff take the time to listen, explain and answer all questions. I never felt rushed. They were always considerate of my thoughts and feelings in such a vulnerable time.
Describe the protocols Gihan Bareh used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
We went through 2 rounds of IUI and one round of IVF. The IUI rounds were unsuccessful but the IVF cycle worked first try! For IVF I was on progesterone injections and suppositories for almost the full first trimester and estrogen through most of the first trimester.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Loma Linda University.
The nursing staff here is amazing. They communicated every thing that happened down to every test result. They would call to make medication adjustments or sometimes appointment updates.

My husband works for the company so after being on the insurance for 1 year most of the treatment is covered. I had to pay about $6,000 for medications for egg retrieval, $20 copay each visit, and a payment prior to FET of $2,500

[Dr. Gihan Bareh] Very respectful of my feelings as having multiple losses...takes into consideration of what would put my feelings at ease....did a great job of taking the time to describe what was going on if I had any extra questions...would never lead me and my husband in the wrong direction or have us waste time on treatments that wouldn't be beneficial to our journey.
[Loma Linda University is] an all around great and very knowledgeable clinic...embryologist everybody wants you to be pregnant...weakness'; I'd say due to the close proximity to the main hospital that from time to time parking can get a little frustrating to the high volume of people.
How was your experience with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Very respectful of my feelings as having multiple losses. She always takes into consideration of what would put my feelings at ease. If I were to have a worry before scheduled appointment she would take time out of her schedule to see me early. She always made me feel at ease in situations. She did a great job of taking the time to describe what was going on if I had any extra questions. She would never lead me and my husband in the wrong direction or have us waste time on treatments that wouldn't be beneficial to our journey.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Trust that she is there to support and guide you through the right path. At the end of the day her main goal is for you to have your baby.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Loma Linda University.
Caring, understanding, diligent, just to put a few. They are very quick on responding to any questions and always happy to see you. They would always take the time to make sure I knew how take any and all of the medications through retrieval and implantation.
Describe your experience with Loma Linda University.
They are an all around great and very knowledgeable clinic. From Dr. Bareh to th e the embryologist everybody wants you to be pregnant. It's hard to point out any direct clinic weakness'; I'd say due to the close proximity to the main hospital that from time to time parking can get a little frustrating to the high volume of people.

She informed us we have time to do testing and return once results are in, so that next steps could be discussed...was very patient and helpful. She answered our questions very thoroughly. She explained what she was checking when she did the initial ultra sound and made sure we understood what we were looking at.
The clinic [Loma Linda University] is very well set up and has a warm atmosphere. When you walk in, the waiting area is small enough where it doesn’t feel like a big hospital. However, it was difficult to find inside hospital. We had to navigate a few floors to find clinic inside hospital...The entire staff, including the doctor were very thorough in answering our questions without judgement...From the beginning, the front desk nurse was very helpful when checking us in and explaining initial consultation pricing and initial forms. The nurse that helped me once inside with the doctor was very compassionate. She answered questions and explained herself very well.

She [Dr. Bareh] is a great doctor she explained everything, the process the percentages of everything working. The 1st time the IUI didnt work because we missed my ovulation but the second time we got it and the IUI was a success...Just ask her all of your questions and take your time dont feel rushed and if you dont understand something ask her to repeat it for you in simple terms. sometimes she speaks in medical terms and i dont speak doctor so i had to ask her to simplify it for me.
Be patient with the [Loma Linda University] clinic they are very busy and are not always able to answer the phone right away, but if you leave a voicemail they always call back all within 24 hours including the nurses. also this clinic only has 1 fertility doctor so it is not always easy to get in when you are ready to start treatment sometimes you have to be put on a waitlist but once you get it, it will all be worth it.

Dr. Bareh, was honest and treated me with respect...took the time to go over my options without rushing...Ask lots of questions and trust the process. Is all about the perfect timing.
Expect to wait even if you have an appointment [at Loma Linda University]. Is best you check in online before visit. Office is quite small and other patients can easily hear your information when asked, although we are all there for the same reason, I found it a bit uncomfortable being asked for my birthday in front of younger ladies.

Describe the protocols Gihan Bareh used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
The first three protocols I believe were more standard, the first one produced decent result and then with the proceeding cycles each time there were less embryos. The fourth cycle was what I believe is considered "mini IVF" where the medication doses are reduced and my body did much better with this protocol and we got the best results from it.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Loma Linda University.
The nurses were incredibly supportive, always there to offer encouragement and guidance every step of the way. One of the nurses went above and beyond by offering us information to apply for financial assistance and gave us tips about obtaining medications for the best price we could.

I felt Dr Bareh was very welcoming and passionate about what she does. She is also very knowledgeable and made sure to answer my questions before leaving the office. I appreciated just how attentive she was with any of my concerns and made some accommodations for me by my request...I was told Dr Bareh only does single transfers...Coming prepared with questions would ensure you get responses directly from the doctor.
Overall the [Loma Linda University] staff from the front to the nurses as well as the doctor were always friendly and made sure I had all my questions answered...The only downfall I would say is appointment times are limited and this is due to the clinic being ran by one doctor only so she’s the only one seeing patients and performing the procedures...Every encounter [with the nursing staff] was pleasant from in person, through email and on the phone. Always made sure to return my call or emails. They all are super sweet which is helpful during a stressful time.
How was your experience with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
I’ve seen another fertility doctor in riverside so I was able to compare my encounters. I felt Dr Bareh was very welcoming and passionate about what she does. She is also very knowledgeable and made sure to answer my questions before leaving the office. I appreciated just how attentive she was with any of my concerns and made some accommodations for me by my request
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Go into your appointment with questions prepared. Although I never felt rushed during my appointment, sometimes I thought of questions after I left so I would email my questions. Her clinic is busy with many patients so the majority of the time I corresponded with the nursing staff. Coming prepared with questions would ensure you get responses directly from the doctor.

Describe the protocols Gihan Bareh used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
We went through IVF with an egg donor. Genetic testing was done with both my husband and the egg donor. I feel like the whole process of egg retrieval from the donor was a fast process, maybe 1 month? After the embryos were created we did pay extra to have them biopsied so we knew the quality of embryos before transfer. To optimize our chances with a successful embryo transfer, we opted to have ERA done. ERA was basically a mock trial where the biopsy the endometrial layer after being on the medication regimen as if we were ready to perform the transfer. The results suggested an extra day of medications which we did for the “real” transfer.

Describe your experience with Loma Linda University.
The only downfall I would say is appointment times are limited and this is due to the clinic being ran by one doctor only so she’s the only one seeing patients and performing the procedures. This was not a big deal for me because I only work 36 hours a week but for someone who works 40 hours Monday through Friday, I could see being a challenge.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University.
Services included IVF, egg donor, embryo biopsies, ERA, and medications all together probably costed closure to $50,000
Describe Gihan Bareh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Loma Linda University.
I was told Dr Bareh only does single transfers which I preferred because ideally I wouldn’t want multiple pregnancies at once. This was only because of my concern what comes along with multiple pregnancies of being high risk and my age of early 30s

Dr. Bareh is very compassionate but also will tell you the concerns directly. She's very well versed in her field and instilled me with full confidence. Dr. Bareh is very busy and some visits did feel rushed... would return my phone call. She also follow up after the procedures while I was at home to make sure I was doing okay...As an older, overweight patient, Dr. Bareh did give large amounts of hormones. She went over all risks with this process
What to say about the nurses at the Loma Linda Fertility clinic. They are all special in their own way. They will hold your hand, explain anything in further detail. Are there for you with a hug, shared tear or joyful excitement. They really are the ones that make that office run with compassion and love...They are a small team but have been together for years, and it shows in the way they work together. The only suggestion would be cosmetic. The exam rooms could use updating, also the male deposit room is right next to the lab. This area is small and has a lot of traffic. It's not very private.

Dr. Bareh and her team answered all questions I had. I was comfortable calling the office to ask a question, and Dr. Bareh would return my phone call. She also follow up after the procedures while I was at home to make sure I was doing okay.
Describe the protocols Gihan Bareh used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
As an older, overweight patient, Dr. Bareh did give large amounts of hormones. She went over all risks with this process. She also suggested I have a Uterine Receptivity test this year. Results were that I was receptive, I feel maybe that wasn't totally necessary. Last year she found uterine polyps that I had to have surgically removed, but I feel helped in the process.

Describe your experience with Loma Linda University.
The Loma Linda Fertility Clinic runs like clock work. They are a small team but have been together for years, and it shows in the way they work together. The only suggestion would be cosmetic. The exam rooms could use updating, also the male deposit room is right next to the lab. This area is small and has a lot of traffic. It's not very private.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University.
I started with Dr. Bareh covered under insurance. The first three years, I had a $2,000 copay. After I reached age 42, I was no longer covered. Egg donor costs were around $10,000 plus and additional $5200 or so for procedure plus about a total of $400 for medications.
Describe Gihan Bareh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Loma Linda University.
At one point, she suggested that I have multiple embryo transfer, however insurance didn't cover it. As we went through several cycles, and I became older, she did not feel as comfortable with that idea and suggested I have a single embryo transfer. I thought about the risks she discussed with multiple transfer and agreed we should only do a single.

Dr. Bareh is a great physician, caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable...ou have to be very patient - she often runs late. But she will also give you the time that you need, and never make your interaction with her feel rushed...very restricted schedule and limited avaliability for appointments...Her clinic/availability leaves some things to be desired, but Dr. Bareh herself is great...
[Loma Linda University] Strengths - convenient location Weaknesses - 1) if you're an LLU employee (which pretty much everyone is), there's a good chance you'll see someone you recognize in the waiting room... 2) especially b/c you will be spending A LOT of time in the waiting room. Dr. B is always running late, and 3) there is very limited appointment availability, so be prepared to make major adjustments to your schedule...Nurses often aren't able to answer the phones, but they do a great job of getting back to you, usually the same day...

Describe the protocols Gihan Bareh used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
I already had a frozen embryo from another clinic that I transferred to Dr. Bareh once my insurance changed. We did several rounds of embryo transfer prep, including an endometrial receptivity assay, to optimize my chances (I have a very thin endometrial lining).

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Loma Linda University.
The biggest frustration came when scheduling my intake appointment. After having transferred my embryo and waited MONTHS for an appointment, I received a call the day before my appointment at 2 pm saying I had to call back before the clinic closed THAT DAY (4:30 pm) or my appointment would be canceled. I work in the ED and don't get to look at my phone during shifts (8-10 hrs), so I was furious when they didn't even give me a half-day to return their phone call.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University.
Luckily my insurance covered a lot of the costs, but I still paid approx $11,000 in total out of pocket. Approx $4,000 for meds and $2,500 for the egg retrieval. Not all of these costs were due at the same time. I used my FSA to pay for a large portion of the meds.

How was your experience with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Dr. Bareh is such a terrific doctor. She is patient, and understanding and made us feel like we were heard and not simply another number. She answered all our questions. Dr. Bareh is such a great informed doctor and is well worth it. Our first appointment with her was in 2016, then she was extremely thorough with her diagnosis for us which was an IUI. She provided us with options of what we wanted to continue ahead with. In 2016, we had a successful pregnancy with our second daughter who is now 4 and we are back with another successful IUI pregnancy at 12 weeks now. We are incredibly appreciative of Dr. Bareh. Dr. Bareh has been an answer to our prayers. We highly recommend her.

Describe the protocols Gihan Bareh used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
In 2016, Dr. Bareh recommended an IUI would be best for us. First, Dr. Bareh did an HSG to check if I had blockages that came back normal. I then was given medication to start my cycle and also was given injections for ovulation as well. The IUI was performed and was successful. In 2022, Dr. Bareh recommended an IUI for us again. Once my cycle started I received meds for days 4- 8 and had an ultrasound on day 12 for a follicle check, and on day 16 I was given a shot for ovulation, and day 17 was the IUI procedure. Dr. Bareh proscribed me progesterone for this pregnancy starting day 20 which is going on to week 12 now. I will be ready to graduate from her to my OB doctor. I am 12 weeks pregnant.

[Dr. Bareh is] the only dr in clinic but never makes it feel rushed. After egg retrievals when I was having mild ohss she called me from home to check in...She'd waive appointment fees and discounted transfer costs deducted from her own pay. She was very aware that working in education meant we didn't have endless funds...You may wait longer than expected for cycles and appointments but she never shorts you on time. She even came in on the weekend for me
New patients need to know [Loma Linda University is] a small clinic with just one dr trying to help more patients than they have space for. It takes time to get consults and time to build treatment calendars, but they will even come in on weekends and early morning if needed for retrieval...We were never treated differently than other patients, nothing but kindness and compassion in trying to help us become moms...We received exceptional care, and when cycles didn't go as planned they all mourned with us as well as the flip side, when our last transfer worked the office was thrilled
How was your experience with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Dr Bareh works so hard. She's the only dr in clinic but never makes it feel rushed. After egg retrievals when I was having mild ohss she called me from home to check in. I felt bad hearing her child in the background when here she was worried about me. We spent years getting to know her during this process. She never gave up and was empathetic to our needs and finances as it was all out of pocket. She'd waive appointment fees and discounted transfer costs deducted from her own pay. She was very aware that working in education meant we didn't have endless funds and did her best to help. She celebrated and mourned with us when things didn't work as hoped. She gave us our chance at being parents, we can never thank her enough
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Be patient, she's one person seeing a ton of patients and has a family at home who needs her too. You may wait longer than expected for cycles and appointments but she never shorts you on time. She even came in on the weekend for me
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Dr Bareh made an effort to get to know us and would even remember our names when seeing us in the hall and masked. I never felt like a number
Describe the protocols Gihan Bareh used in your cycles at Loma Linda University and their degree of success.
Microdose hcg, gonalf. We kept upping the gonal f and needed a few days longer to grow follicles. She monitored labs and ultrasound very carefully to adjust medications for best outcomes. After first retrieval went poorly she had me work on egg quality and checked my vitamin d levels, kept protocol the same but waited an extra half hour for retrieval
How competent was Gihan Bareh at LGBTQ+ care?
I never felt treated differently than any other patient. She was always kind and respectful
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Loma Linda University.
All of the nurses are amazing, compassionate and kind, knowledgeable and helpful. They got to know us over the years of treatments
Describe your experience with Loma Linda University.
Amazing clinic especially compared to my regular healthcare provider kaiser. Every person made an effort to connect with us and were all vested in making our dreams of a family happen. We received exceptional care, and when cycles didn't go as planned they all mourned with us as well as the flip side, when our last transfer worked the office was thrilled. New patients need to know its a small clinic with just one dr trying to help more patients than they have space for. It takes time to get consults and time to build treatment calendars, but they will even come in on weekends and early morning if needed for retrieval. It's hard but be patient. They all work so hard for us
Describe the costs associated with your care under Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University.
Over the course of 3 years, consults, 2 ivf cycles, 2 frozen transfers, mock cycle, Era, 2 sis tests, monitoring to determine hysteroscopy needs and to check that it was clear, storage fees, medications and weekly monitoring thru 12th week of pregnancy cost us over $35k
Describe Gihan Bareh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Loma Linda University.
Prior to age 35 she only transfers 1, explaining the risks of multiples. After 35 she suggested transferring 2 untested embryos to increase chances of one taking
How competent was Loma Linda University at LGBTQ+ care?
We were never treated differently than other patients, nothing but kindness and compassion in trying to help us become moms
Describe your experience using 3rd party reproduction (donor eggs, donor sperm, or gestational carrier) at Loma Linda University.
Dr Bareh looked through the sperm donors we were considering and helped explain which ones not to consider if they had flags in their genetic testing. Everything went smoothly between sperm bank we used and clinic. We both picked up the tank to deliver ourselves and had it shipped due to covid. Went smoothly either way. No problems with paperwork or tank return
What specific things went wrong at Loma Linda University?
  • Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Loma Linda University.
We had unexpected charges even after signing the breakdown of treatment plan. Even though we paid everything asked we'd get bills and our account audited. This caused transfer and egg retrieval to be delayed by months and we didn't expect that especially given we paid everything in full.

I’m pretty sure I was one of her difficult patients since we just couldn’t figure out why certain steps and procedures weren’t working for my body but Dr. Bareh never gave up. I know how hard Dr. Bareh must work because she is the only doctor at the office but she never acts rushed with you or as if there are more important things to get to...Dr. Bareh is determined to get you pregnant...
The clinic [Loma Linda University] is very well run, organized, has an amazing staff, and a great doctor...They are always incredibly welcoming and cheerful anytime you have an appointment. The entire staff also roots for you and is there to answer any questions you might have and cheerfully accepts your third call of the day to clarify medication questions. I have gotten to know nurses Monica, Julie, Angie, Melinda and they are all wonderful....

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University?
Throughout the whole process I have never regretted my decision to stay with Dr. Bareh and her staff. They are always incredibly welcoming and cheerful anytime you have an appointment and Dr. Bareh is determined to get you pregnant. I’m pretty sure I was one of her difficult patients since we just couldn’t figure out why certain steps and procedures weren’t working for my body but Dr. Bareh never gave up. The entire staff also roots for you and is there to answer any questions you might have and cheerfully accepts your third call of the day to clarify medication questions. I have gotten to know nurses Monica, Julie, Angie, Melinda and they are all wonderful. The embryologist at their office is also amazing as well as the front office staff. I know how hard Dr. Bareh must work because she is the only doctor at the office but she never acts rushed with you or as if there are more important things to get to. I know it might seem odd to feel sad about finally being able to leave the center for fertility but I genuinely will miss seeing everyone there.

Describe your experience with Loma Linda University.
The clinic is very well run, organized, has an amazing staff, and a great doctor. The only weakness I can think of is I know they have a wait list for new patients but that is out of their control since they only have one doctor.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Gihan Bareh at Loma Linda University.
Our insurance didn't cover anything so we paid all out of pocket and probably spent a total of $30,000 over the course of our treatments.
Describe Gihan Bareh's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Loma Linda University.
I was advised to do eSET since multiple pregnancies can come with certain risks and I didn't want the risk of twins or triplets.
