“Wow. Where to begin our review of Dr. R and the whole reproductive health and wellness group. This was hands down our best medical experience. Starting with the first phone call to the office. I spoke with a well informed easy to talk to staff member. She walked me through the basics of the whole IVF process, she encouraged questions, was happy to explain anything and everything. From there, our first office visit was great. The office has a sense of calm and tranquility. We got to meet the doctor and go over any questions or concerns. Then we spoke with a staff member about pricing, options, insurance, and any little detail. I never felt like information was kept from us or that any detail was left out.It was an easy choice to go with this group for our IVF journey. Each appointment we were met with friendly staff, nurses who remembered our names and stories. And true to their word we always saw Dr R and he was warm and personable. My husband says it was like going to visit family at each appointment.They go out of their way to be accommodating of schedules. Offering appointments even as early as 6:30am so I could go before work. They explained each part of the process and really made us feel empowered in this journey. The nurses did a great job explaining the medications, dealing with the pharmacies, coordinating other doctors. They seriously made the process as easy as possible! Never had long wait times on the phone, always got quick responses by phone or email/portal. We truly can’t say enough good things about the whole process.Thank you Dr R and the whole team for helping us through this crazy and exciting process and helping us bring our baby into the world!!!“

“Staff and technicians were very nice. Explained process . Told me about when I would hear results They were professional and just nice peopleAppreciate that.“

“After 3 failed cycles, my husband and I decided to change fertility clinics and received a recommendation to check out RISE. Needless to say, it was one of the best decisions we have ever made! During our initial consultation with Dr. Ghazal, we could tell that her approach was very different than most fertility doctors. We had two embryos remaining from my retrieval at my prior clinic, and wanted to transfer one of those embryos. During a consultation with another clinic, we were told by the doctor that he "would never use" the remaining embryos due to their grading. Dr. Ghazal disagreed with that approach. When we asked what medicine regimen Dr. Ghazal would use, she advised us that she needed to invest time reviewing my medical records to come up with a personalized recommendation. She would not utilize a cookie-cutter "one size fits all" approach like most fertility doctors seem to do. Dr. Ghazal then prepared a detailed plan to use an "modified natural cycle," which involved less medication than I had to take during my failed cycles. That plan also required more doctor visits to monitor my ovulation cycle. Dr. Ghazal was very dedicated to our cause that she opened the office for appointments on weekends and offered to schedule my FET on Thanksgiving if necessary.She was also was able to identify a medical condition that very likely caused my prior failed cycles and easily fixed the issue. Dr. Ghazal is someone whose brain seems to operate on a wholly different wavelength. She is knowledgeable while remaining humble, able to listen to her patients' needs, very empathetic to our concerns, and cheered us on throughout the cycle. Needless to say, her bedside manner is top-notch.Beyond the doctor, the staff at RISE is the best we have encountered in any medical practice. I was fortunate to work with Laura (RN). Laura has extensive medical training and was well equipped in answering my questions. By contrast, the coordinators at my previous clinic seemed to have little training, and merely acted as messengers for the doctors. Laura was also extremely responsive to my emails and phone calls (even at odd hours or on weekends) and was also personable at appointments. Crucially, Laura was also helpful in assisting us with transporting our embryos from my prior clinic to RISE.The RISE team (Allie, Angie, Heidi, Krystal, and Molly) were exceptional to work with! They genuinely became family throughout the process. A little less than a year after our initial consultation with Dr. Ghazal, I gave birth to our second child! As she lays in my arms, all I can think is how grateful I am that we chose to transfer our little "embryo that could" with Dr. Ghazal!“

“Have been coming here since Dr. Cecchini moved here and I have always had great experiences. Never too crowded, staff is nice, blood draws have been very easy.“

“Dr Faraz is very funny, and kind. She makes you feel very comfortable and makes you laugh throughout the whole appointment.“

“I had a positive experience. Dr. Hatch is kind, very knowledgeable and makes you feel like she truly cares for you- wants to make it happen genuinely. She knows what she's doing and has a plan to get you their. She is a hot commodity, so you may see her PA who is nice too or her other dr team mate. The office seems to work together. All of the team members are kind and know what they are doing. It's a very busy office, so yes wait times can be crazy long but all my other doctors never run on time so I think I expect/ used to it. If you expect your appointment to be on time then you may be disappointed, but once you get in front of her or her team you will never feel rushed or a number imo. The pricing/ insurance part is straight forward and they were on top of things for scheduling ect. I do believe you are the CEO of your own health so reminding, asking questions ect. feeling comfortable to say what about this or that is part of my job too as a patient or raise your hand/ email if you have questions or concerns. I've learned that over the years, not just from fertility world, but from seeing other specialists over the years to uncover health junk. I have had a great experience and grateful I was referred to her office. Dr Gordon and the PA are great too. She loves what she does and it shows. I just wish she could stay with me through the rest of my pregnancy but maybe I'll see her again one day to do it all over again.“

“I've been going to Acupia for a few months now and I can't say enough about how great they are. I mainly see Dr.Kim, she is amazing and has changed my life. I have seen a significant change in my health since I started. I've been seeing her for fertility, migraine, lymphedema and fatigue. Dr. Lee is also great, you can tell they really care about their patients and take the time to find the root cause of each problem. I would highly recommend Acupia to anyone looking for a wellness clinic, you won't regret it!“

“I absolutely loved this place and always had a great experience. It was always clean, my nurse was always friendly, and I felt very comfortable with my doctor. Having moved, I can only use Medi-Cal in LA and the difference in care is huge.“
