How was your experience with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
I came to RSC for initial blood work to check my AHM, etc., after a molar pregnancy. I never thought about going through IVF before. Dr. Hariton was the doctor who called me back after my blood results and showed me a picture that it's not a bad idea to preserve a few healthy embryos and bank for the future if I want to have more than two kids. He didn't pressure me at all but gave me time to think about it. I am so glad I decided to come back to him a few weeks after his call. My husband and I both feel we made a good decision to bank for the future, especially now that I am pregnant and i can feel rest assurance i have somethings i can transfer for more babies in the future. Besides his genius advice based on our personal plan, Dr. Hariton really takes time to allow us to understand what the process looks like, what to expect, and I never felt he rushed us for any questions (we always have many questions!). I am a person love reading a lot of books and journals on fertility topics, and I would bring it up something i read to ask him or want his opinion if i can take additional supplements. He treated my questions seriously, did research, and came back to me if he cannot advise right away. I feel very comfortable working with a doctor who never wants to stop learning and also wants to make sure he is giving the right suggestions. Overall, I cannot think of any moments of dissatisfaction with Dr. Hariton. We are very happy to have chosen him and RSC.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
You shouldn't completely hand off the process when dealing with any doctors. It's your own journey, and they are there to support you. RSC provides many study materials throughout the journey, so definitely take time to prepare, be proactive, stay positive, and bring any questions to them. Dr. Hariton and his office are very responsive and caring, so don't be afraid to ask questions. Be mindful that they are dealing with many people going through the same process as you so try to make it easy for them to read if you send a message or a voice message. Sometimes may take a few hours or overnight to get back to you and that's okay. You can always call their office emergency hotline if it's urgent.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Dr. Hariton goes beyond the medical aspect of IVF, treating patients with genuine compassion. Every case is different, and I am someone who cares deeply about details and personalized care. Dr. Hariton and his team didn't disappoint me; his personalized approach makes me feel understood and supported. I have never felt a moment where he didn't understand my requests or questions. For example, I wasn't sure if I should take probiotics during the process. He asked me to send in the brand I plan to take, and he actually studied it and got back to me with advice. I really appreciated this academic approach, which also demonstrates his compassion towards his patients' questions.
Describe the protocols Eduardo Hariton used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I followed Dr. Hariton's advice, and we started with estrace priming after my period started, then moved on to injections for egg retrievals. My egg quantity is low, but the quality is good. It's definitely helpful to follow their nutritional guidance, exercise, and supplements, as it will improve egg quality. My husband also follows the male part, and I definitely think that's a plus for good results.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Blanca)
Dr. Hariton's nurse team is the best. I have spoken/met with:
Blanca, who is my case manager.
In Blanca's absence, her backup is Jasmin.
RSC hotline Norie.
Nurse practitioner Rosa.
I love this dedicated team during my process. All of them are super professional, organized, great communicators, and caring. Blanca, as the main communicator, is incredibly helpful. Her instructions are the best, and she always calls me to ensure I have any questions when she sends me instructions. She will get Dr. Hariton for you if needed, and Dr. Hariton will call you back.
We couldn't be happier to have this team as our support.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Reputations:
RSC has a great reputation for its lab and a rich history in IVF. It is a dedicated professional practice group in the Bay Area for IVF. You can conduct your own research to look at their performance in reports for example CDC SART.
Locations:
San Ramon is the main location that operates all year round, with satellite offices in Oakland and Los Gatos. I have visited their Oakland and San Ramon offices. It's easy to access and flexible based on my schedule.
Professionalism:
All the medical professionals and staff are professional. When a backup doctor calls me, they fully understand my situation, and there is clear internal communication, preventing any lapses in communication. During my egg retrieval, Dr. Westinc, my retrieval doctor, was aware of my molar pregnancy situation and offered warm and kind words to us. My husband was touched, Dr. Westinc definitely made him feel less stressed about the surgery.
Bedside Caring:
I could never ask for a better bedside manner from the medical team. They run a 24x7 hotline. During the injection process, there were moments when I was unsure and freaked out. I called them at 10 pm, and the on-call doctor responded within less than 20 minutes. The bedside manner is incredible!
Weakness:
Can't think of any!

Describe Eduardo Hariton's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
I am risk-averse regarding pregnancy, so I agree with RSC's protocol for a single embryo transfer. There's no need to rush and carry multiple babies in one pregnancy, as it could lead to health complications. I have been sufficiently educated on this and am completely on board.
Dr. Hariton is an exceptional physician. His knowledge and experience with IVF was excellent...elt the treatment was expertly tailored to our needs and results...has a wonderful ability to make you feel like you are his only patient and that he is 100% dedicated to getting a successful outcome

Dr. Hariton is kind and optimistic. He takes time with you and explains things and demonstrates how treatments work with visuals. He also is nonjudgmental in his questioning. He is LGBTQ aware.

I think the clinic provides a good service...they are challenged on the logistics. It is a challenging clinic to navigate.

They do take more insurances than some other private practices though...The nurses are very nice but the clinic is disorganized in its communication.

What specific things went wrong at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Failed to convey critical information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
It can be challenging to get started at this clinic. Communications will come from multiple sources and it’s unclear how to proceed.
I believe [Dr. Eduardo Hariton] has both the knowledge and experience needed for effective treatment...clearly explained the process and diagnosis, giving me the opportunity to adjust the plan according to my comfort level while fully informing me of the risks...appreciate how closely he monitored my progress
The staff [at Reproductive Science Center] is friendly, punctual, and flexible if you’re running late. It’s easy to contact them to change the schedule...San Ramon branch that’s open every day...They treated me in a personalized way and care on the detail, which made me feel like a human being, not just a number
How was your experience with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
I believe the doctor has both the knowledge and experience needed for effective treatment. He clearly explained the process and diagnosis, giving me the opportunity to adjust the plan according to my comfort level while fully informing me of the risks. For example, my insurance doesn’t cover the PGT test, and he didn’t pressure me to do it. Instead, he provided me with the information that, at my age, only 50% of embryos are viable and asked if I was comfortable with that reality. If I was, he would approve skipping the PGT test and proceed with the treatment.
I appreciate how closely he monitored my progress. Even though I didn’t always see him in person, I knew he was the one overseeing my lab work and keeping a close eye on the results. During the stimulation phase for retrieval, I needed lab work every other day, which I appreciated because it ensured we didn’t miss any opportunities. He noticed that my eggs weren’t growing evenly and adjusted my medication dosage just in time. As a result, we ended up retrieving 34 eggs. Wonderful!
On the transfer day, he was very kind and warm. He explained the physiology of my embryo to ensure the transfer was successful. He wished me good luck but didn’t overly cheer me up, understanding there was still a chance of a negative outcome. I requested not to use PIO, and he agreed that we could try a natural cycle for my next transfer (as I’m planning to have more children).
Fertility treatment is an ongoing process, and being treated by a doctor who understands my needs, can be flexible, and closely monitors my lab results to adjust the treatment plan is key to success.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
I would like to recognize all the team members of Dr. Hariton, especially my case manager, Blanca. I can call them, leave a message, and they will call me back. She works closely with Dr. Hariton, and I can ask her any questions or make requests. She will either get the answer or have Dr. Hariton call me personally. We had planned for a FET transfer, but I wanted to do a fresh transfer. Dr. Hariton called to explain why I couldn't. One time, my medication didn’t arrive on time, and my cycle had already started. Blanca had a plan B, which was for me to go to the clinic and pick up the medicine. I can't thank them enough. Every person's case is different. They treated me in a personalized way and care on the detail, which made me feel like a human being, not just a number.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
They have many locations in the Bay Area. I chose this clinic because it’s in the best location for me—no heavy traffic, plenty of parking, and close to home. Remember, we had lab monitoring appointments almost every other day. When I was at the clinic, I felt so lucky that I chose it. The staff is friendly, punctual, and flexible if you’re running late. It’s easy to contact them to change the schedule, and if one location isn’t available, you can go to another clinic. They also have a San Ramon branch that’s open every day, so I never felt rushed to fit everything into a tight schedule. Fertility treatment varies from person to person, and we can’t always predict how it will go. Having a flexible care team is crucial.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
I have WINFertility through my company's insurance, but I still paid about $4,000 out of pocket for myself and my husband.

[Reproductive Science Center] have multiple locations in the Bay Area...main medical center is in San Ramon...where the major medical procedures are done...relatively flexible with timing...able to get appointments pretty easily...the team I worked with was very caring, empathetic, and strong communicators.

I was also on a time crunch due to my fertility benefits ending in about a months time and he was able to expedite my process so we got it done on time, I had such a good experience with him overall.

How was your experience with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Dr. Hariton was our second fertility doctor (the other was at a different clinic) and the difference in quality of care and bedside manner could not have been greater. Dr. Hariton spent the time to get to know us personally and all the nuances of our situation, and then crafted a treatment plan to accommodate our fertility goals and the specifics of our lives outside of fertility. His communication is exceptional, not shying away from giving us detailed answers, while making the complex information digestible. Most importantly, our clinical outcomes with Dr. Hariton exceeded our highest expectations. It made all the difference knowing we were in exceptionally capable hands with Dr. Hariton.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Be up front with the amount of information you want to know. We wanted lots of detail, which he gladly talked us through, but if you might be overwhelmed by that, he would be able to synthesize instead!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Dr. Hariton took the time to get to know our specific situation and gave us the amount of detail we asked for, not shying away from providing us information about our cycles. We really enjoyed our conversations with Dr. Hariton.
Describe the protocols Eduardo Hariton used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic) and their degree of success.
We used microdose lupron instead of the antagonist protocol because I'd done a cycle with the antagonist protocol before we limited results. Dr. Hariton had me take one type of pill before the first cycle and a different pill the second cycle to try to get greater synchrony.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Jazmin Hernandez)
Jazmin was very communicative, as were the other care coordinators who stood in for her when she was out. Our only issue was getting a response during the weekend, when we were told the weekend care coordinator would call with instructions and never did.

What specific things went wrong at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Failed to order appropriate test
Failed to convey critical information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Early in our first cycle our care coordinator told us the weekend care team would call with medication instructions and they did not. We called the on-call doctor who gave us some guidance, but we never actually got the instructions specific to our case.
Doctor Hariton is professional, warm, and considerate...suggested us to start with an IVF cycle, we still decided to try with IUI and did it for 3 times. Doctor Hariton respected our decision...adjusted my treatment plan based on ultrasound test results and bloodwork result
RSC in San Ramon is the one I had been going to...staff there is warm, nice, and organized...wait time is never too long...When I was at the clinic for the egg retrieval surgery, I felt relaxed and taken care of. The nurse kept soothing me, made sure I feel warm and comfortable, and helped me go to the bathroom
How was your experience with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Doctor Hariton is professional, warm, and considerate. Though he suggested us to start with an IVF cycle, we still decided to try with IUI and did it for 3 times. Doctor Hariton respected our decision while pointing out that there would be little point of doing IUI more than 3 times. So after having 3 IUI treatment unsuccessfully, we decided to move forward with an IVF treatment. During the hormone injection cycle, Doctor Hariton adjusted my treatment plan based on ultrasound test results and bloodwork result, which they were closely monitoring. Luckily, though I have less eggs than average for women in my age based on the AMH level, I had 20 follicles which were all retrieved. Among them 14 were fertilized normally. Though only 4 of them had developed to the blastocyst stage, and only 1 of the 4 are completely genetically normal, this embryo was graded as AA and landed in me successfully. I am very grateful to Doctor Hariton for what he has done during our IVF journey.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
IUI has very low success rate. IVF might be a better choice
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Doctor Hariton always gave me a call to elaborate on a test result or a treatment result no matter it is positive or negative instead of delegating all communication work to the case manager. When the result was not as hoped for, he would lay out all available options for us and respect our choice.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
The RSC in San Ramon is the one I had been going to. The staff there is warm, nice, and organized. The wait time is never too long, and the staff always apologize if they keep you waiting. When I was at the clinic for the egg retrieval surgery, I felt relaxed and taken care of. The nurse kept soothing me, made sure I feel warm and comfortable, and helped me go to the bathroom.
Dr. Hariton's unwavering confidence and expertise immediately set him apart...demonstrated a deep understanding of my unique situation...took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and empowered...expertise, optimism, and personalized approach for this life-changing outcome

We are so glad we had the opportunity to work with Dr. Harriton. This was our first time using a fertility clinic after three pregnancy losses (miscarriage and ectopic). We were nervous about the process and from the moment my husband and I met with Dr. Hariton we felt we made the right choice in picking him to be our doctor. Dr. Hariton listened to us and was honest throughout the whole process. He was very good at giving us information while remaining empathic. We always felt that our questions and concerns were answered in a timely manner, communication was great. My first transfer resulted in a successful pregnancy and I am now graduating from RSC.

Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Clinics were clean and always well staffed. Only con I would say about the Oakland Clinic would be the parking was a little inconvenient. San Ramon office is the best for parking out of the two. They always did have new nurses join the staff, not sure if it was an employee turn around or if promotion from within was the reasoning.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Dr. Hariton is one of the most compassionate, caring, and competent doctors that I have ever interacted with. He really listened to me and my partner, answered our questions and addressed concerns without ever making us feel rushed. He clearly communicated what was happening when we had to modify the treatment partway through the cycle due to stronger response to the medications than expected. The way he discussed my treatment plan and answered our questions throughout the whole process also made it clear that he has a thoughtful, nuanced understanding of fertility medicine and made me feel like I am in great hands. He is truly an exceptional doctor, and I would easily recommend him to anyone with zero hesitation.
RSC is awesome!! Every single person I interacted with there (doctors, nurses, the sonographer Bri, phlebotomists, receptionists) was incredibly friendly and did a great job from what I could see. One thing to be aware, they use a "team approach" so you won't necessarily always be seeing the same care team (especially if you're in on a weekend), and most likely your primary doctor will not do the retrieval...My care coordinator Ivonne was incredible! She was organized, communicative, and caring; she called regularly during the freezing cycle to update me on treatment changes as well as to check in with how I was doing.

Dr. Hariton was incredibly thoughtful and caring and always took the time to explain things and answer any questions that my partner and I had. He took the time to personally call at several points during the egg freezing cycle to update me, check how I was feeling, and ask if I had questions. I genuinely felt like he cared about me, my well-being and treatment success, something that seems unfortunately rare amongst doctors I have interacted with.
Describe the protocols Eduardo Hariton used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic) and their degree of success.
Egg retrieval cycle for freezing -- estrace priming for 11 days starting 6 days after LH positive surge; combination menopur (150 units) and gonal F (225 units) for 4 days; adding cetrotide (0.25) and dropping gonal F to 150 and then dropping menopur dose to 75 after 2 more days (doses dropped due to stronger stimulation than expected). Lupron trigger after 9 days stimulation, retrieval 36 hrs later; we retrieved 62 eggs, 32 of which were mature and frozen.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Out of pocket, ~$8800 for egg freeze (to the clinic) plus ~$4k for medications
I am not exaggerating when I say I wish Dr. Hariton were my doctor for everything. He is the full package - the expertise, the people skills, the ‘client experience’...the compassion, and even the jokes. It’s pretty rare to come upon a doctor who can ease and simplify an extremely overwhelming topic. Fertility (or infertility) can get stressful and Dr. Hariton handled this with mastery and care. My partner and I observed after every visit how clear and simple Dr. Hariton made everything - from the complicated medical terminology to the process itself.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Ask any and all questions. No question is too small. And be brutally honest with yourself, with what you want and care about.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Dr. Hariton paid close attention to our hopes, dreams, lifestyle choices, preferences and called them back during every visit. I was especially impressed by how much he cared to bring up parts of our lives - how’s your son (name)? I know you want max X kids so I’d recommend Y. He was clear about our concerns and reassured us of what was ‘normal’ or what to feel at ease about, without our even asking a lot of the time.
Describe the protocols Eduardo Hariton used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I had to cut my treatment short. Actually, barely even started because I found out right at the end of taking estrogen pills, that I was pregnant through natural means.
But in building out the protocol for us, Dr. Hariton tailored the right strategy for us considering what we wanted in the future, knowing we wanted to test for PGT-A, and for being as efficient as possible.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
clear that [Dr. Eduardo Hariton] is incredibly genuine and empathetic. After our first consult and initial round of tests we had a clear diagnosis and an achievable game plan...I also felt validated...took the time to answer all our questions...diagnosed my PCOS, quickly put my worries at ease
[Reproductive Science Center] was extremely clean and, somehow, soothing. They do a good job of creating a calm atmosphere...nursing staff and coordinators made the process much easier. They were always empathetic and happy to go out of their way to help
How was your experience with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
After working with other providers, I was left degraded, without answers or a diagnosis, and with little to no hope left that I would be able to conceive. I had the complete opposite experience with Dr. Hariton. It was immediately clear that he is incredibly genuine and empathetic. After our first consult and initial round of tests we had a clear diagnosis and an achievable game plan. I also felt validated - Dr. Hariton took the time to answer all our questions and ensure that we walked away informed without once being dismissive or trying to hurry us out of his office. My only regret is that Dr. Hariton isn't also offering obstetric services so that we could continue to work with him through our pregnancy. There is no one else I would want to work with in the future if needed, and we certainly recommend Dr. Hariton and his team to anyone in need of fertility care.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
When I came to Dr. Hariton, I had spent months seeking a diagnosis for the PCOS symptoms that I was experiencing. I was treated horribly by several providers and was at the end of my rope. Within 5 minutes of Dr. Hariton going over my symptoms and reviewing the test results ordered by the other providers, he diagnosed my PCOS, quickly put my worries at ease, and had outlined a game plan for us that felt achievable. Unlike others, he did not speak down to me and he was empathetic to the months of PCOS symptoms that I had been experiencing with no relief or help from my other doctors.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
The nursing staff and coordinators made the process much easier. They were always empathetic and happy to go out of their way to help. It was very touching just how excited the staff was for us when our pregnancy was confirmed.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
The clinic was extremely clean and, somehow, soothing. They do a good job of creating a calm atmosphere. They also schedule appointments with ample time rather than cramming as many patients in as possible.

Describe the protocols Eduardo Hariton used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic) and their degree of success.
For preparation of egg retrieval, we were on stims for 14 days. Dr. H wanted to give my body the opportunity for the follicles to grow before canceling the cycle. Fortunately, I was ready for trigger. Once my body healed and he told us the amount of embryos we had, he recommended we have another egg retrieval since we only had 2 embryos and wanted 2 babies. But we decided not to and he respected our answer. For the transfer, I took Progesterone in oil and vaginally and estrogen 3x a day. I was monitored and was ready for transfer. Fortunately, our first transfer worked and have graduated from our IVF clinic.

Describe Eduardo Hariton's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
We selected single transfer to avoid complications or failure.
Dr. Hariton took the time to ask about our family planning goals and always kept them in mind when tailoring our treatment...was both professional and deeply compassionate...next transfer cycle, we changed the method of estrogen and used patches instead of oral and vaginally
I think the clinical/medical team is [Reproductive Science Center] strength...Their bedside manner was excellent and quality of care we received was great...Kylie was particularly friendly and always pleasant when taking my sonograms...The weakness was working with the billing team
How was your experience with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hariton and the entire team who supported us throughout our IVF journey. From the start, Dr. Hariton took the time to ask about our family planning goals and always kept them in mind when tailoring our treatment. His approach was both professional and deeply compassionate, ensuring we felt confident in our decisions by walking us through each option available. This personalized approach made us feel genuinely understood and supported.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Try to learn what you can about the IVF process from Dr. Hariton. I felt like he explained what was going to happen next every time we talked and it helped me feel comfortable moving forward or making decisions.

I felt like Dr. Hariton was really compassionate and understood what I was going through, so made sure I had the best experience possible.
Describe the protocols Eduardo Hariton used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility and had tried 4 failed cycles of IUI before seeing Dr. Hariton. Given my age, and family goals, Dr. Hariton felt we were a great candidate for IVF. We did blood testing, and a saline sonogram to confirm there were no big blockers or anything like that. Then we proceeded with treatment (Follistim and menopur). I had to do shots for 13-14 days before triggering and ready for retrieval. Retrievals were a success, but based on our family goals, it was recommended we do another retrieval before starting a transfer cycle. So I did 2 egg retrievals, which resulted in 6 euploid embryos. Then we did 1 failed transfer cycle, just resulting in a negative pregnancy test. The next attempted transfer cycle, my lining never got thick enough, so we cancelled. Then in our next transfer cycle, we changed the method of estrogen and used patches instead of oral and vaginally. That seemed to work well and had my thickest lining results and ultimately a successful pregnancy!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
They were awesome. Kylie was particularly friendly and always pleasant when taking my sonograms. And KO was great at taking my blood, even if it took more than one try, she was always considerate and kind.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
I think the clinical/medical team is their strength. Their bedside manner was excellent and quality of care we received was great. The weakness was working with the billing team. We had a frustrating process working with the billing team and our insurance company, oftentimes where we were reaching out and getting answers much faster when we expected that to be handled by the billing team. There also seemed to be some miscommunication between the billing and clinical team at one point, impacting when I got started with treatment.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Because our insurance did cover expenses, we just had to meet our maximum. We had spent at least $6,000 on medication and treatment before having to pay much smaller co-pays as insurance started to take over.
Describe Eduardo Hariton's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
eSET seems like the safest option for the mother, but all depends on your age and circumstances.
What specific things went wrong at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Failed to call with results
Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Just mishaps with the Billing department and getting pre-authorization from our insurance company. The billing department in particular did not have great communication with us.
[Dr. Eduardo Hariton is] kind, has an easygoing energy, and a good sense of humor...was very familiar with some genetic testing results I had received...was knowledgeable about my own situation...discovered I had thin uterine lining...had an antral follicle count ultrasound and my partner had a semen analysis
Overall a pretty positive experience[at Reproductive Science Center]...communication was great...Got some conflicting information between two of the case workers...Blanca was such a sweetheart...was always so kind and supportive when we spoke via email and on the phone...
How was your experience with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Our consultation started with an hour long zoom session - I honestly could not believe that they allocated an hour for our appointment and I was so grateful. During every visit, Dr. Hariton made more than enough time and proactively asked what questions we had. He's kind, has an easygoing energy, and a good sense of humor. I appreciated from the get go that he was very familiar with some genetic testing results I had received and immediately felt he was knowledgeable about my own situation. When he discovered I had thin uterine lining, he outlined some of the potential causes and how next steps would be used to assess the situation. When comparing notes with a friend in a similar situation, her doctors did not provide as much information to her. This made me feel like Dr. Hariton was more transparent than other doctors may be.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
We hesitated to seek information at first because we had not yet been trying for a year. If you want more information and you can afford it financially/through insurance, I'd say don't hesitate. Dr. Hariton was not judgmental at all about our situation and was nothing but supportive when we ended up getting pregnant naturally faster than we expected!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Dr. Hariton took time to get to know us and was able to relate to me on a personal level based on shared backgrounds. I was consistently impressed with how much time was allotted during our appointments for me to ask questions - he would ask me what questions I have over and over until I stopped! I never felt rushed or dismissed and it was honestly one of the most impressive medical experiences I've ever had.
Describe the protocols Eduardo Hariton used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic) and their degree of success.
I had an antral follicle count ultrasound and my partner had a semen analysis. We were planning to schedule bloodwork and an HSG at the start of my next cycle but then I got pregnant.
All of the protocol we were set to follow was quite standard, but the bloodwork and HSG would have also helped detect any hormonal imbalances or uterine scar tissue that might have been contributing to my thin uterine lining.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Blanca)
Blanca was such a sweetheart - she came in to meet us in person at our last visit and was always so kind and supportive when we spoke via email and on the phone.
The only piece of feedback I have is that when Blanca was out sick, I did get a phone call from another case worker with some conflicting information about next steps. That made things a bit confusing and I had to clarify with Blanca, so I would say there could be some improvement in terms of sharing clear information across the team.
Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
I had 3 visits - one over zoom and 2 in person. Zoom was on time, first in person they took me in a bit early, second in person started ~10-15 min late. Overall a pretty positive experience.
We loved our experience with Dr. Hariton and the only other thing I would add is there was one hiccup in conflicting information when another case worker was covering for the one assigned to us. Other than that, communication was great.
We didn't communicate much with the financial coordinator because we didn't get very far in our diagnostics before getting pregnant. The prices they quoted us were actually higher than what we ended up paying with our insurance coverage. I'm still not sure why that was the case but it was a nice surprise.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Zoom consult - $20 copay
AFC - $12.33 after insurance (I had met my deductible)
Semen analysis - not sure but I think we were quoted $140
What specific things went wrong at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic)?
Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Got some conflicting information between two of the case workers.
I also had to follow up about my initial bloodwork - I had a standard panel ordered but the medical records I sent showed I had gotten some of that work done recently. When I followed up, they reviewed and sent me new lap slips.
Dr. Hariton is incredible...always made us feel supported and like he had time to spend answering all of our questions...we only met him twice in person, we felt his support constantly...was responsive, available for calls when questions came up, and sensitive to specific pelvic pain condition I had
[At Reproductive Science Center, the] only challenge distance wise is that they don’t perform any procedures in the Oakland office, only in San Ramon...Blanca was fantastic. We communicated mostly via email (she was very responsive) and she would make sure to call after my tests to check in.

I was thoroughly impressed by Dr Hariton. Even though we only met him twice in person, we felt his support constantly. He was responsive, available for calls when questions came up, and sensitive to specific pelvic pain condition I had. He always made me feel like his priority and was confident in his recommendations. He also personally called me to tell me I was pregnant which I thought was really sweet.

Dr. Hariton is incredible.

He always made us feel supported and like he had time to spend answering all of our questions.
Describe the protocols Eduardo Hariton used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic) and their degree of success.
We decided to start with IUI and were expecting to find success within 3-4 cycles if at all. Mentally, I was preparing for us to need to do IVF. For the first IUI cycle I went on Letrozole and did a trigger shot. The timing the first time round felt less precise. The second time I actually took ovulation tests every day leading up to my trigger shot to maximize the timing odds. This felt more precise and I went in feeling a lot more confident. My husband was traveling during the 2nd cycle so we did a frozen sample. I was in constant communication with the office during my cycles to make sure we were doing everything in the right sequence.

Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
The only challenge distance wise is that they don’t perform any procedures in the Oakland office, only in San Ramon. So for a couple visits we had to block off a portion of the day to drive there. However other appointments could be done in Oakland which was more convenient for us.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Eduardo Hariton at Reproductive Science Center (US Fertility Network clinic).
Thankfully the majority of our fertility care was covered under my husband’s employer’s fertility benefit.
