Spring Fertility Silicon Valley

Dr Tran used the right treatment for me so that I retrieved very good quality eggs with reasonable quantity. And I experienced minimal side effects. For example I didn't feel bloating at all till the trigger shot day. And after egg retrieval, I experienced no pain no bloating. I think Dr Tran really took care of me during the operation.

Spring is very transparent with all their test results and related medical educational information. You can be curious and read the information in the Salve app. Ask nurse if you have questions. I read all my test results and the educational information, and understood to quite an extent why Dr Tran chose the egg retrieval protocol for me, and why he personalized my trigger shot so that I didn't suffer any bloating nor pain, while still got good quality eggs.

I used mid-luteal protocal. My non-professional judgement on dosage of Gonal F, Menopur is that Dr Tran preferred not to over stimulate me. My trigger shot was just 1 shot of 80 unit Lupron. Dr Tran decided no extra trigger because he got my bloodwork the next morning after 1st trigger shot, saw my LH result was satisfactory. The results are: 1, I only felt a little discomfort after trigger shot before egg retrieval. The rest of the whole treatment I felt not impacted at all. 2, I got very satisfactory number of good quality eggs. Personal I prefer to have reasonably amount of good quality eggs than a great number of less quality eggs. Because after all, the result from each egg is binary, not a probability. 6 high quality eggs that leas to 1 healthy baby is better than 30 average quality eggs that results in a failed life birth.

It was short and to the point. I could ask questions but answers wouldn't be specific till it comes closer to the trigger shot day.

My costs go through my insurance first then my insurance bills me. So I can't tell exactly how much yet.

When it comes to embryo transfer, I will ask Dr Tran to tell me the benefits and risks of each then I will make my own decision.

I would recommend Dr. M if you have an easy case and need a straight forward treatment. She was very kind and gave "warm and fuzzy" feeling, which is sometimes really important as this is such an emotional process. However, I started to get frustrated and worried when she made no change after we were getting poor results. I asked repeatedly whether there should be any change or if there was anything else to consider in my case, and she said no and continued with the same exact treatment plan for 6 egg retrieval cycles (2 were cancelled). I finally went to another doctor to get a consultation and based on my medical records, she recommended in my first visit to test for endometriosis (along with other tests), which came back positive. Endometriosis is known to cause poor egg quality and this was never discussed as even an option with Dr. M. I am very upset that she never had a conversation with me about any "outside" factors to consider. It is estimated that 60% of infertility patients have endometriosis, so this should have been on Dr. M's radar and I have no idea why it wasn't brought up. I am angry about this and feel it caused me to waste time and insurance benefits. I have since treated my endometriosis and just completed another egg retrieval to make embryos in which we were much more successful.

Advocate for yourself and if you are getting repeated poor results, switch doctors.

Started cycles with 300 Gonal-F and 150 Menopur, plus omnitrope most cycles. Priming meds changed over the course of 6 stim cycles including Aygestin, estrogen, and lupron. Over the course of 4 retrievals, have 9 day 3 embryos stored (but some are quality).

Mostly covered by insurance. Any "add-ons" were explicitly discussed and price was given.

Dr. Minjarez is great and caring. I never felt rushed whenever I asked a question. She made me feel very comfortable whenever I had my checkup with her and also the retrieval. I completely trusted her as my doctor and so grateful that she was able to do 4 out of 5 of my retrievals!

Ask as many questions as you need to! I never felt like I was bothering her when I asked questions no matter how small they may be.

Mid-lutheal - didn't retrieve as many eggs as I expected in the first round with this (only did 1 lupron trigger) Changed it to duo-trigger with Novarel and lupron and got a better result at my mature eggs

Efficient. Most of my monitoring appointments were early in the morning and it was a quick check up and bloodwork. I was always seen right away and never had to wait longer than 5 minutes to be seen.

Dr. Tran is a well educated provider. He’s been doing this a long time but after my consultation, I felt comfortable with being under his care. However, after my first appointment, I never heard from him throughout my two cycles. I didn’t even see him pass through the hall during my many visits. When my partner and I reached out to discuss our options and get his weigh in on how we should proceed he made me feel like I had false positive expectations, which I did not. I knew my chances were minuscule. I simple reached out to pick his brain on what he suggested we do given our goals. He took our call in a car and we could not hear him too well aside from comments about resetting expectations. It was then and there that I decided Spring was not for me.

Dr. Tran is exactly what others patients describe him to be. Cut and dry and talks in statistics. It’s not a bad thing but a personal preference. If you are looking in warm and fuzzy, he is not for you. I don’t have experience with him in and IVF cycle so I cannot speak on that experience. I did not meet with him after for consultation (IUI).

I worked with a nurse practitioner. I did not speak to or see Dr. Tran after my consultation. I started with Clomid in day 2 or 3 of my cycle and visit the clinic every 2-3 days to check follicle growth. I triggered when their care coordinator (not RN) sent me a message that I was ready but the time was not specified. My IUIs were done between 42-45 hours after trigger. None took.

I spent about $5000 for 2 IUIs, not including medication.

Dr. Tran was really on the spot about why we were having trouble conceiving. It's true his bedside manner is more cut and dry. He doesn't do much to try to connect with you on a personal level like other doctors might, but what I liked about him that I didn't get from other doctors (we were with another clinic and then switched, and I had interviewed a third clinic before deciding on spring) was the flexibility with the plan that I was looking for. Dr. Tran was the only fertliity doctor I saw (out of 3) who explained very clearly the expected normal timeline and steps for IVF, and more importantly, was the only doctor who explicitly offered to consider a modified natural transfer (no progesterone shots). I have a huge needle phobia and hate hormone drugs (but got desperate enough to try IVF), so the idea that there was flexibility there was really tempting. I did have to do the research on my own independently to find out that in some cases (such as mine) there's really no difference in positive results between a medicated and natural transfer but Dr. Tran was right. And, I was successful (so far - we are almost in the 2nd trimester now). The other great thing about Dr. Tran and Spring (which again, I think is what you get instead of lots of warm fuzzy interactions etc ) was the efficiency. I had my initial consultation at Spring during a time when they lost 2 or 3 doctors, yet Dr. Tran got me in for a consult and onto retrieval meds as soon as possible. There was no waiting line (at my first clinic, we had made the decision to move forward in October but could not start the process until January), no issues with not having shelf space for my embryos, etc.

As other people have mentioned, make sure you read all the materials they give you and do your research and have a list of questions ready when you are meeting with him.

Antagonist protocol, aggressive drugs. My retrieval was disappointing. The expectation given my blood test results and follicle counts was that I would get at least 15-20 eggs (even at my advanced age); however, only 7 were retrieved, and only 1 embryo tested PGT normal. By some miracle (or very good work on the part of the embryologists and the Spring team), this embryo stuck. The plan if the embryo didn't stick was to move to a mid-luteal phase retrieval next, so Dr. Tran is open to changing protocols.

I was insured under Progyny, so didn't deal with billing much.

No comments. We were committed to a single transfer from our discussions with our prior doctor so didn't discuss this with Dr. Tran. We also only had 1 embryo to transfer.

I cannot recommend Dr. Harris enough. There are many options for IVF in the Bay Area and we could not be happier that he is our doctor. He is extremely intelligent and kicks butt at his job, but he’s very special in his ability to relate to his patients. He truly cares and goes above and beyond. Dr. Harris was so understanding and compassionate, something we needed after 3 miscarriages and a whole lot of anxiety. His projections (for egg retrieval, etc) were spot on, and he was always happy to answer my 100 questions and allay my fears. We would choose him again and again and recommend him to anyone and everyone. I should add that he is successful - as we currently have a perfect 5 week old boy after our 1 retrieval and 1 transfer :)

Mid-luteal protocol. Menopur x~10 days, gonal-F x~5 days, Pregnyl trigger.

Efficient, early morning.

Egg retrieval (including ICSI, PGT) ~$18,000, embryo transfer ~$5,000.

Dr. Harris told us that policy (for our situation) was to transfer only one embryo.

Dr. Vaughn was our assigned doctor when we started our IVF journey back in Oct/Nov 2021. Right from our very first visit she was very informational, friendly and empathetic. She got our requirements during our first meeting, which was immediate pregnancy. She was very attentive to our needs during every visit and gave us excellent care. We have a healthy, 2 week old, newborn now and it is all because of Dr. Vaughn's care, expertise and dexterity with embryo transfer earlier in 2022. Dr. Sara Vaughn is one of the best in the IVF field in Southbay.

She is knowledgeable and thorough. Please trust in the process and Dr. Vaughn will deliver. :)

Dr. Vaughn was always educating us about the IVF procedure, also suggested us to go through another extraction cycle but when we insisted that we would like to get pregnant asap and think about next cycle in the future, she obliged with utmost care and empathy. She was always there to help us in every which way possible through the long IVF process.

The whole process (extraction+eSET+medication) might have taken around 28,000$

Dr. Vaughn is a strong advocate of e-SET. She has educated us about the several advantages of e-SET compared to the complications that might arise from Multiple Embryo Transfers.

We went to Dr. Harris after suffering two miscarriages and seemingly no longer able to get pregnant. Dr. Harris was very optimistic even though we were not but it was nice to feel like we had someone in our corner. He went over what he thought would be the best course of action for us and heard our concerns and we agreed to go forward with IVF. Other than our first two embryo transfers which were done at the SF lab (Sunnyvale wasn't open yet), Dr. Harris handled every procedure I had, every appointment, and every transfer. He was always there to answer questions. Even on the bad days I would have a chuckle with him and was able to hold on the hope that one day we'd have good news. Dr. Harris has an amazing ability to make you feel safe and secure in the fact that he is doing all he can for you and your care but also keep things lighthearted and fun which is hard to do with such a delicate and personal situation like infertility.

We found Dr. Harris to be very optimistic, which is great but at times I just wasn't there. I couldn't be optimistic and I told him that. He respected that and held that hope for us but allowed us the space to feel discouraged.

Antagonist Protocol ERA Biopsy

Overall costs were close to $70k. This cost included 2 retrievals, 4 FET, genetic testing, medications, and other miscellaneous costs specific to my care.

Dr. Vaughn was everything I would hope from a fertility doctor. She took time to get to know myself & my husband. She understood I needed to have a plan a,b,&c. Her team was quick to answer my questions & I never felt like I was as bothering her. I never felt rushed during our appointments & on the off times I was seen by the on call doctor she was always hands on & would check in. I never felt alone which to me is the most important.

Never be afraid to ask questions & advocate for yourself

This would be a novel if I went through all my cycles. Long story short, Dr. Vaughn & I used each cycle as a learning opportunity to see what my body responded to & what didn’t work. What I appreciated is that each cycle was it’s own no cookie cutter cycle each was based on where my body was at at that time & would try something new like adding supplements to help. Dr Vaughn helped me through each round every step of the way.

I am lucky to have coverage through work. Dr.Vaughn understood my coverage & helped me use it to the best of my ability

For both transfers of my day 3 embryos we transferred 2 the first time & 3 the second time. Due to the fact I had bad egg quality the chances of even one taking were low enough it was worth transferring more than one. Dr. Vaughn & I talked a lot about this before making the decision & in the end she would share what she suggests but it was always my decision

After my (very short) intake appointment, Dr. Vaughn proceeded to have us go through all the labs to get started with treatment and required me to see a hematologist. I’m in my 30’s and have never had a bleeding disorder. This requirement to see a hematologist made no sense, but I went because we wanted to get moving with IVF. The hematologist laughed when I saw him and said he had no idea why Dr. Vaughn was wasting my time with the appointment. After getting cleared by the hematologist and having done all the labs, we thought we were moving forward. So I was shocked to get a call from a patient rep (not even Dr. Vaughn herself) stating she wasn’t going to move forward working with us. Basically she doesn’t want to work with couples of our religion. She clearly knew that she felt that way from the start. There was no effort made to assist us in the next steps. The day after that call from the patient rep, I saw a call come in from the Spring Clinic. I wasn’t able to answer as I was with my own patients, but assumed a message would be left. No message was left, but I continued to be called over and over between 4:07pm and 5:56pm. At that point I felt like I was being harassed. Turns out it was Dr. Vaughn calling over and over. The lack of professionalism in calling someone that many times in a row is appalling. Any provider with an ounce of common sense would leave a message and wait for a return call. I never did get to speak to her. I ended up spending with the founder of the clinic, Dr. Tran. I didn’t feel I got very far with him; he noted it would be hard for us to move to another doctor within the clinic because Dr. Vaughn is the medical director so she is over the other doctors at the clinic. So basically it wasn’t worth it to even see a different doctor at Spring because our case had already been tarnished by her opinion of us. He agreed we would be refunded for what we had paid for. I ended up working with the VP of Operations to get a refund. She had the nerve to send us a document saying we had to sign an agreement that included a confidentiality clause which would prohibit us from discussing our experience with anyone, including other doctors. We refused. If they want us to sign a confidentiality agreement it’s because they know she did something wrong and they don’t want anyone to know. We did end up getting a refund after a lot of back and forth. Shame on them for making it so stressful after what we had already gone through! We have since started treatment at another fertility clinic. My initial consult at the new clinic was very thorough and we were treated with respect. Now that I realize the level of care and respect I should have received by Dr. Vaughn, but clearly didn’t, I feel that she is a disgrace to the medical community.

Go anywhere else! This woman has zero respect for a patient’s individuality. She will only help those who fit her mold of what a patient should be. She has no remorse for wasting our time and money.

Brief one-time consult followed by an ultrasound. Blood work for me and my partner. Semen analysis and Natera screening. That’s it - she never met with us again.

$450 consult $250 semen analysis $200 Natera for each parent $ misc for lab work

Dr Lee was absolutely amazing! She's incredibly supportive, easily accessible, invested in my care, not to mention genuinely authentic. Never dismissed any questions. She walked me through every scenario, what to expect next, etc. I honestly felt to at ease under her care. I knew I was in good hands. I think it helped that I had something to compare to as well - it was night and day. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor on my side

Don't be afraid to ask any, and all questions. You have to be your own advocate.

The clinic is known for mid-luteal protocol. We had a very good success with this. Had 15 follicles at baseline, ultimately, 13 retrieved, 12 mature, 8 blasts, total of 4 euploid. Dr. Lee changed my dosage as needed to synchronize the growth of each follicle.

I have insurance coverage - didn't have had to deal with majority of the cost outside of deductible/OOP max

We honestly couldn't have imagined a better experience. Dr. Vaughn is thoughtful, compassionate, professional, and always patiently and meticulously answered all of our questions. She was thoroughly prepared from the start, with slides to walk us through what to expect, presented it in an optimistic manner that was balanced by an honest appraisal, very data-driven but in a way even those without medical background can understand, and never missed the human element, even with the challenge of a virtual consultation amidst the first major wave of COVID-19. Added together this was very reassuring to us as the IVF journey can seem quite intimidating. Dr. Vaughn also planned the treatment according to our needs. At our first appointment, we told her if possible we'd like to plan having more than one child in the future. Based on the first egg retrieval results, she suggested a second one for a more comfortable margin of success given our family planning. Although we had been trying for more than a year and I wanted to be pregnant as soon as possible, we felt comfortable with her advice because she explained in detail the multitude of reasons why this was the smarter choice. After following her plan, we now should have enough healthy embryos.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Dr. Vaughn is very patient and she explains everything very clearly. It certainly helps ease a lot of potential anxiety. I remember after my first transfer failed, I asked Dr. Vaughn if we should implant multiple embryos instead of one to increase the chance of success. She told me that not only it will increase the risk of multiple births, it is also possible I’ll lose multiple healthy embryos if my body isn’t well-prepared. My second transfer was successful. Hang in there and don't give up.

We were very lucky to have our treatments covered by insurance.

Dr. Harris took the time to explain the process, set clear expectation backed by research numbers and explained the risks. I've done my research before the consultation and asked a lot of questions - he was warm and patient, willing to pause to explain/elaborate on what he said and let me take the time to take notes and digest the information. As a person who really need to understand the data behind the decision to feel comfortable with the process, I really appreciate the time he took.

It's a good idea to attend Spring's workshop to get an idea of the process; do your research and bring your questions/concerns to the consultation. Take the time you need to feel comfortable and understand the process.

Injections with Gonal-F, menopur, and trigger shots. I never had any negative reactions to the drugs.

It was very efficient and easy to schedule monitoring appointments.

From the very first visit he was open and honest of all risk of each treatment and which one he recommended giving I have PCOS. During treatment I had a death in the family and he remembered and checked on us each visit. After my second miscarriage he reassured me it wasn’t my fault and made sure I wasn’t blaming myself (which I was) and kept the line of communication open after I decided to take a break.

Ask all the questions because I’ll give you all the honest answers. He prefers IUI over timed intercourse but does everything.

All three times we did letrozole after my period then the trigger shot (ovidrel) 5-7 days later after making sure my follicles grown to a certain size. The first no results which he explained was normal, the second and third time I became pregnant and the both ended in miscarriages.

My job insurance covered it. So I’m not 100% sure.

Doctor Harris was a gem - as are all the doctors at Spring Sunnyvale. Our original doctor, Dr Vaughn, left the clinic in the middle of our treatment and so our retrieval was handled by Dr Lee and our transfer by Dr Harris. I have seen all the doctors at Spring now - and i have lovely things to say about all of them. Dr Harris was upbeat, friendly and seemed invested in our success. He was a joy to work with and I cant recommend him enough.

Ask questions. Work with your care team to get answers.

Insured via Progyny

I had a wonderful patient experience. Dr Vaughn was very thorough in all of her interactions and communication. She clearly outlined all options. She treated my husband and I was kindness and compassion.

There is so much information when it comes to infertility. Dr Vaughn will answer all of your questions and go over all options that you are interested in exploring. She is an excellent doctor.

Treatments used were medications and IVF. I am considered advanced age snd have experienced one loss prior to beginning treatment with Dr Vaughn. Dr Vaughn knew that time was of the essence and we wanted the best outcome.

We were very lucky and fortunate to have Progyny Insurance which covered the majority of our costs

The doctors approach was single embryo transfer. I was in full agreement as the goal was one healthy pregnancy.

Dr. Lee is the most perfect combination of intelligent, kind, proactive, caring, knowledgeable and experienced. Graduating from her care and moving on to an OB was the most bittersweet experience. If I could have Dr Lee as my OB, primary care and the pediatrician for my daughter, that would be the absolute best.

Don’t hesitate! Once my blood tests came back normal at my primary care dr, I was told to wait until it had been a year before looking into fertility issues. As someone who hadn’t ovulated once in 5 months, I didn’t want to do that because I knew something was wrong. Dr. Lee looked into things that other doctors missed, and we were extremely blessed to be successful in our first cycle (even through Dr. Lee made it clear that we would take these steps for the first 3-6 cycles, and that it’s normal for it to take some time).

We used 5mg of Letrozole for 5 days, to induce ovulation, followed by one shot of Ovidrel once we saw that I had a mature follicle. It was perfect and very easy.

He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We trusted him and his judgement 100%. Very professional, compassionate, and charismatic. The appointments were never rushed. He took time to answer all of our questions. Always on time so we were able to get in and out.

Best Doctor ever!

The first cycle of IVF was the egg retrieval process. Had to take injections every day. We used donor sperm and ended up with 8 great embryos. Did a frozen embryo transfer with both pregnancies. No injections, just a trigger shot. Ended up pregnant the first time with both transfers.

Our insurance covered it the first time. After losing that insurance we paid 6k for the embryo transfer on our 2nd pregnancy.

Couldn’t explain or get an answer for success rate from success calculator. I asked for how many live births from people who thawed their eggs, doctor got defensive. When I asked for SF lab, it was discouraged. Didn’t feel comfortable to ask questions, came back more confused than before. She kept saying that I don’t have a crystal ball to tell you everything. When I mentioned about if I should start now vs next year for insurance purposes, she was like you have to start immediately and then when I asked more questions, I was told that I am not confident or ready and can’t start process immediately - instead of my questions being answered. I left crying after my first appointment.

Dr. Lee is very smart and practiced so I trust her at the beginning of the consultation. Then, we decide to work with her immediately which is the best decision we've made. Dr. Lee makes the best plan for my IVF treatment and instructs us step by step. I feel happy and warm during every visit. Dr. Lee is my lucky angel, it couldn't work without her effort. After half year treatment (including retreaval and transfer), I am pregant and have several best embryos for future babies. Dr.Lee's magic work is much byond our expectation!

Working with Dr. Lee is very simple, just trust her and the whole team. Follow all the instructions and relax! IVF treatment can be a happy journey.

I use Lupron, Pregnyl, and Gonal-f for egg retrieval. Dr. Lee instructs me to adjust the dose after ultrasound and blood draw. The results of the two retrieves are surprises- we have several best quality embryos. I use Ovidrel and Medrol for transfer. Embryo transfer is much easier than retrieval. I am pregnant after the transfer and the baby is very healthy and strong.

I was lucky to find Dr. Lee who finally ended the IVF journey for me, who is generally healthy, volunteered to do IVF to have a baby efficiently (and also egg freezing to save some hope for future), but unfortunately failed even egg retrievals for 4 times in the past 1 year with another well-known clinic. Being 36Y old, with AMH 5.15, FSH normal, AFC 10+ plus totally normal health check up results & generic carrier screening results, I thought my IVF case would be a fairly easy one. But unfortunately I had to go through the egg retrieval process for 4 times with prior clinic, which was totally unexpected. But it is also fortunate that I gained enough experience to compare, and thus confident to tell, what would a good doctor looks like. I don’t want to spend too much time to describe what I experienced with the previous clinic but just let the numbers speak. In the previous clinic, under the protocol defined by a very famous, experienced yet busy doctor, 4 egg retrieval circles in total, I got 26 eggs, 15+ fertilized, and ended up with only 2 D5 blastocysts passed PGT-A (1BB and 1CC). Each time the doctor defined the egg retrieval plan a few months beforehand, never showed up in any of my ultrasounds, and even the final trigger time was what his interns decided based on the doctor’s notes which was written 1 months ago. Every time when I got the upset results and want to discuss further with the doctor, I can only got the time spot like 3~4 weeks later, and for the 30 minutes session the doctor was always 20~25 minutes late. During the rest 5~10 minutes, he just read my charts to refresh his own memory but not be able to provide any more information beyond that. What finally triggered me to change doctor was because the last time I asked again why the egg retrieval results are not as good as expected, the doctor said, “It is just your body acting like age 42 which we can’t help with that at all. But the protocol is already the best solution and we will repeat again next time”. As someone who is fairly confident about her health condition (I work out A LOT) and actively doing research (even though I am not medical background) I don’t buy in that conclusion at all. I wanted to seek for the second opinion. I located Dr. Lee from Spring fertility clinic not by testing my luck again (like I did with the first clinic) but through very careful research of all the major fertility clinics in the bay area this time. I did check the success rate and talked to multiple doctors from different clinics. There are for sure many other famous clinics than Spring fertility, but none of them could start my treatment plan as efficiently as Spring fertility (most would need to wait for a few more months because they are already busy). And there are many doctors who are more experienced than Dr Lee, but none of them is more patient than Dr Lee to listen to my whole experience, to be willing to read my hundreds of charts carefully, to spend time doing more research to customize the protocol, and to dare to give totally different opinions against the prior doctor. I was very clear of what I need this time – I don’t need even bigger clinic names or even more famous doctor, I just need doctor who is knowledgeable enough, and yet caring enough for my case. “I believe there is a customized IVF plan for each patient” - Some doctor just say it, but some really show you the action. Dr Lee is the latter one. I bet on her, and I won this time. My experience with Spring fertility clinic and Dr Lee was excellent, especially when comparing with my previous upsetting experience. Dr Lee spent quality time to understand my charts carefully, and gave totally different protocol (and it works well this time!). Again – let numbers talk – with her protocol, in one round of egg retrieval I got 16 eggs, and in the end got 3 blastocysts passed PGT-A (all are AA/AB level). This is already way better than my previous 4 rounds of egg retrieval results combined!!!!! Also not mentioning that she did every single ultrasound with her own hands, and never missed any one. And yes she did my egg retrieval surgery and egg transfer herself as well. All my questions got patiently answered along the way, and currently when I am typing for this article, I am happily 12-week pregnant. My body condition didn’t change; but what changed the result? It is not the medical knowledge the doctors have, but also the time and effort they are willing to spend on you. Dr Lee has the best medical education and training background that any doctor would admire and she no doubt has enough medical knowledge to do the IVF job. And what’s more important is she works hard, she understands and cares about your suffer, and she treats you as a woman, but not just a number. I highly recommend Dr Lee to anyone who is seeking IVF treatment. You need a good and caring doctor to maximize the opportunity to success since the IVF is a tough and expensive journey. Do some more research on your clinic and doctor before you invest; and hope my experience above could help you to save some effort, emotion, and dollars.

My insurance covered all the cost so I didn't worry about the cost during the whole process.

Sara is very skillful, knowledgeable, professional, efficient, as well as kind. I think she's someone I can fully trust. Once I started my treatment with her, everything happened very smoothly and I'm now 3-month pregnant! I couldn't imagine this at all half a year ago. I did hysteroscopy with her, and then egg retrieval once and embryo transfer once, and then got pregnant! Every step went amazingly well and she always explains things clearly and sets my expectations correctly. Her team is also very well-organized and always treats me with respect, warmth, and optimism. I genuinely appreciate her help. It means a lot to me and my family.

I believe you won't regret choosing Sara.

Although she may not quite be my best friend yet, Dr. Murugappan demonstrated the ideal combination of expertise and kindness in every consultation and procedure. My expectations of the whole process were actually exceeded, thanks primarily to her!

Be ready to ask any questions at all that have crossed your mind—Dr. Murugappan is open to all of them.

I was on a very basic hormone treatment plan in preparation for egg retrieval/freezing. Everything went according to plan, and there were no hiccups.

I paid about $2700 total out of pocket. Progyny insurance covered the rest.

Dr. Murugappan was very kind and warm for every visit. Her communication was concise and to the point. She’s willing to answer any questions I had. I trust her judgement in treating me. I am thankful for having her as my doctor during this difficult journey.

Do not hesitate to ask questions during your visit.

The first protocol we tried didn’t work for me. She adjusted the treatment plan for our 2nd and 3rd round of egg retrievals. Both rounds, we got a few embryos frozen. Our first frozen embryo transfer was successful. I am 5 month pregnant! We were very happy with the outcome.

The cost was covered by insurance.

Dr Lee was amazing. She spent a lot of time explaining each steps and also understood the pain the patient is going through. Even on day where I only go in for a blood draw, Dr. Lee will swing by to check if I am doing okay. Very thoughtful and caring doctor.
