Dr. Evans and her team are the best. I cannot say enough good things about PFCLA. They were highly communicative and professional throughout the egg-freezing process. They assign a dedicated manager to guide you through every step, plus another person to handle billing and insurance.
Please note that some of their major procedures are performed at the larger Westwood office.

Truly the best fertility center in Los Angeles. Fertility treatment can be one of the most mentally, physically, and emotionally difficult experiences of your life, but PFCLA made ours as comfortable and positive as possible. From the beginning, Dr. Sepilian and Mary, our coordinator, made us feel heard and cared for and treated us as people, not just another patient. They always took time to address all our concerns and questions and were consistently very responsive. After 1 IVF cycle at PFCLA, we are now 4 months pregnant and extremely grateful. I enjoyed being their patient so much that I even tried to persuade Dr. Sepilian to deliver our baby. We cannot wait to return for our next transfer.

I had the worst experience with someone named Ahmed Kadri. He completely attacked me. Do not go here until they remove him.

They refused to estimate the cost of an egg-freezing cycle before a consultation, which costs $350. I have never had this experience anywhere else, including at their Westwood location. I might therefore spend $350 on a consultation only to learn that they charge an excessive amount for the cycle. The person on the phone said, “It depends on many factors,” but refused to say what they were. How do storage, retrieval, and anesthesia “depend” when other clinics can provide definite prices? It feels predatory.

I highly recommend Dr. Evans and her team! She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and passionate about her work. Infertility is challenging, and she supported us closely throughout treatment. My spouse and I both appreciate her calm manner and warm bedside approach. Her team is also excellent—Amada is a compassionate, detail-oriented clinical coordinator who is always helpful. All the nurses and other staff at the Glendale office are outstanding as well. We have always found Dr. Evans attentive and are glad we found her. As an LGBTQ+ couple, we also greatly appreciate the inclusive care she provided.

Dr. Evans and her team are wonderful. I primarily saw her at the Glendale clinic but also met other PFCLA physicians, and I cannot say enough good things about them. Although this is usually not a pleasant experience, they made it as good as possible.
The process had many ups and downs, and Dr. Evans stayed beside us, helping us understand every step. She is kind, wise, and listens carefully to concerns. You can tell that achieving a positive outcome is always her priority. Many thanks to Dr. Evans, Amada, and the entire PFCLA team. We look forward to welcoming our daughter in a few months.

Great experience with a quick, easy process. I had just moved to the city and needed a drug test. Julissa and her team were very kind and attentive.
Thank you.

Dr. Evans is an incredible IVF doctor. She is approachable and considerate. IVF can be invasive, but she makes it as comfortable as possible. She seems to be very trauma-informed for example. Her communication is prompt and clear. Most importantly, she is skilled at getting you the outcome you desire -a baby or babies, in arm.

Dr. Evans is amazing—kind, compassionate, and highly skilled. Her integrity and warm manner made me feel reassured and supported throughout the emotional IVF process. Jocelyn and the rest of her team were equally outstanding, taking excellent care of me and providing tremendous support throughout. I am very grateful for their care and highly recommend Dr. Evans and her clinic.

Everyone at PFCLA is very kind. The entire team showed genuine concern and excitement about my progress. Dr. Evans was recommended by a friend, and she far exceeded my expectations, patiently guiding my husband and me through every step of trying to conceive. If we need similar help with a second baby, we will definitely return!

Everything seemed wonderful and sounded great at first, making it easy to feel hopeful. Afterward, however, the information became unclear, every appointment felt rushed, and the medical staff had poor attitudes. This process comes at a tremendous financial and emotional cost. Although I understand that they see many patients, patients deserve honesty and courtesy, both of which were often missing in my interactions with this facility.

For context, I have had egg retrievals at two different clinics several years apart. The first was at Pacific Fertility Center LA. The good news is that Dr. Evans retrieved my eggs, and I am very grateful for that. At the time, I was concerned because two of my friends had frozen their eggs at two different clinics, and their doctors monitored their hormone levels throughout the process. Dr. Evans did not monitor my hormone levels. She was not involved throughout my retrieval process, although I was told this in advance, and there was no follow-up after the retrieval or completion of treatment.
I recently completed another cycle at Pinnacle Fertility with Dr. Karine Chung. She monitored my hormone levels throughout and adjusted my medications as needed. Although I was older, the results were significantly better. If you must choose Pacific Fertility Center LA, I recommend asking:
1. Whether they will monitor your blood test results throughout the process.
2. Whether they will use estrogen priming or any other measure to ensure synchronized follicle development.
3. What their postoperative care and follow-up involve.
Dr. Evans was kind during my first retrieval, but I worry that she was not as thorough as other doctors. You may need to advocate for that level of care.

I had two miscarriages and thought I would never be able to have a child, but then I found this clinic. I am very grateful for their excellent care and detailed explanations of the treatment plan.

Dr. DeUgarte and her team are truly wonderful. I have been Dr. DeUgarte's patient for more than ten years, and at every visit she is exceptionally knowledgeable, insightful, caring, loving, and warm. I have even scheduled several calls to ask health questions unrelated to an appointment, and she is always happy to help. The clinic is very comfortable, and her staff are equally warm and friendly. Sara Yamaguchi is an outstanding medical assistant who deserves an award. I can call or text Sara at any time, and she will patiently answer my questions or consult Dr. DeUgarte directly. Simply seeing her makes patients feel welcome. Thank you, Dr. DeUgarte and team—you are amazing!

I cannot imagine working with a better team during our fertility journey. I have no complaints about the experience. Dr. D is an amazing doctor. She has wonderful energy and makes you feel good at every step. Everyone on the team is kind, attentive, and patient. That is why we will always return to CMD Fertility and recommend it to anyone around us who wants to start a family.

To anyone on a fertility journey, I can only say that the road is not easy! Mine took 15 years, 3 doctors, and 3 clinics, and on our fourth attempt we finally had a beautiful baby girl. We could not have done it without Dr. DeUgarte, one of the kindest, most compassionate, caring, and thoughtful doctors I know, with a huge heart—and of course her incredible team. The entire CMD Fertility team was wonderful and very supportive throughout our journey. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone going through fertility treatment. When we found CMD Fertility, it felt like home. We were cared for from beginning to end. Thank you, Dr. DeUgarte and the CMD Fertility team. I cannot say enough good things about all of you and everything you do for others. You made our dream come true, and we will always be grateful. Thank you for all the miracles you create!

Dr. D is a godsend. We love her so much! Highly recommended. She helped us become pregnant twice, and we referred two friends who also became pregnant successfully. They are very helpful with advance scheduling and flexibility. All the women at the front are wonderful too. 10/10

I would give Dr. DeUgarte more stars if I could! She was the third fertility specialist my husband and I saw during two years of unexplained infertility. A friend recommended her for IVF, and I wish we had seen her from the beginning. I have never met a doctor who cares so much about her patients. I do not know how she does it, but she always remembers small details about our lives and what we discussed at the previous visit. She never made my husband or me feel pressured, uncomfortable, or blamed for our diagnosis. She was always on time and informative, and she and her staff took extra time to ensure we understood IVF and how to administer all our medications—and there were many! Dr. DeUgarte was also willing to answer any question and even gave me her personal cell phone number. She called me on weekends with test results and allowed a last-minute ultrasound to reassure me. The staff were also friendly and amazing. Her coordinator Maria always responded quickly to my many portal messages and helped with questions and concerns about injections.
As an added benefit, LabCorp is just down the hall, making all the necessary blood tests very convenient.
If you are looking for an RE who truly values your well-being and family goals, Dr. DeUgarte is the one. 10/10 recommend!
