Dr. Chung has a warm, kind approach, and always made sure to tell me her thoughts about my status and what the next steps in the process were. She adjusted her approach through multiple cycles of oocyte cryopreservation, and knew my prior data and used that to inform decisions about medication choice and dosage. Her clinic is often busy and she sometimes seemed rushed, but always made time to answer my questions.
The [California Fertility Partners] clinic is efficient, well organized, and clean. In my experience it was more expensive than the other clinic I had received fertility care at (at an academic center), but I really appreciated having the physician do my ultrasound at each visit, and talking to the physician at each visit...Everyone in the office, including nurses, physician, phlebotomists, and billing office staff, was kind, courteous, and answered my questions in a timely manner.

Describe the protocols Karine Chung used in your cycles at California Fertility Partners (Pinnacle Network clinic) and their degree of success.
She gave me a diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve prior to starting the oocyte cryopreservation cycles. She tried various methods (estrogen priming, taking clomiphene concurrently with injections for the first week, using high dose FSH alone for the first few days). What seemed to work best for me was max doses of FSH and FSH/LH injections throughout the cycle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at California Fertility Partners (Pinnacle Network clinic). (Assigned nurse: Ally)
I really appreciated having a consistent nurse (Ally) who was kind and thoughtful. Ally was very organized, answered my messages promptly, and directed information to the physician when appropriate (when I had a post-procedural complication, for example).
