    My husband and I cannot say enough incredible things about our experience at EMBER. Dr. Freije is a wonderful person, an excellent listener, and truly understands what you say. He gives each patient as much time as needed. I never felt rushed or like just another patient. His compassion, understanding, and knowledge are why we have our beautiful daughter. Words cannot express our joy. Thank you. May God bless you all and your continued work.

    Before my egg retrieval at Ember, the doctor began nutritional supplementation, and the Ember team helped me relax and prepare. The process was not as difficult as expected, thanks to the staff's careful explanations and care. I am truly grateful. I am fortunate that I chose to freeze my eggs now, because they age with me. Thank you, Ember.

    My wife and I wish we could give Ember Fertility Center 10 stars! Words cannot express our gratitude to Dr. Freije and his team. Dr. Freije exceeded our expectations and showed unmatched compassion. He tailors treatment to each patient and pays meticulous attention to detail throughout the cycle. Before finding him, we visited two other fertility clinics in town, but neither compared. The entire facility is outstanding. The nurses are responsive and caring, making my wife and me feel like family. Their unwavering support made IVF far less intimidating. My wife is now five weeks pregnant, and we are delighted with the care from Ember Fertility Center. Everyone was kind and made the process easy. Thank you, EFC!!

    I am so happy today! After three years of searching and treatment, I finally received good news: I am having a baby! I am deeply grateful to Dr. Freije, the coordinators, and the medical team for supporting me through countless anxious days. Only when I received April's pregnancy-test result could I finally relax. EFC created a fertility plan for me covering preparation and stimulation. Looking at the schedule showed me what to do each day and greatly reduced my anxiety. It is no exaggeration to say EFC's service surpasses most in the field. I tried not to contact them after work or late at night, but sometimes I could not help it. Everyone understood. Whenever I asked a question in the group, someone soon answered and reassured me. I sincerely thank EFC for helping make my wish come true. Thank you, Dr. Freije and every EFC team member!

    I did not choose this clinic because patient coordinator Sherrie B. was unprofessional and incompetent. First, she spammed my inbox with several separate emails, and the second time we spoke, she confused my name. Worst of all, less than 5 minutes into our conversation, when I asked about the clinic's experience, she raised her voice and said she did not know the estimated number of egg-freezing cycles performed each year. She said that when people only call rather than schedule a consultation, they cannot provide information. I asked whether she could obtain the information from someone else before the $299 consultation, and she clearly said no, Dr. Freije would not provide it before the consultation. I told Sherrie that under those circumstances I would use another clinic, and she abruptly hung up. I am unsure whether Sherrie was simply having a bad day or is always like this—the latter seems more likely because an early Yelp review is also about her. For what it is worth, clients need to know your level of experience before committing. Rudely refusing such basic information suggests either a questionable laboratory or a need for a better patient coordinator who understands basic communication.

    I am deeply grateful for my EFC family. Two rounds of IVF were challenging, especially because the first produced only one embryo. Since we dream of having at least two children and had to consider my age, we decided on another retrieval. My case manager, Sherrie, was a constant source of support. Her encouragement brought comfort and hope during my hardest moments. She tirelessly answered questions about medication, scheduling, and procedures and always checked with Dr. Freiji and nurse Wei to ensure I had the clarity I needed. Gen and Wei were also my angels, accommodating my requests and reassuring me at every step. Their kindness and dedication truly touched me. Choosing Ember was honestly one of my best decisions. The care and compassion here far exceeded my previous clinic, and I am very grateful to be part of this wonderful community.

    I just graduated from this clinic after 1 successful embryo transfer on 11/27/24! I only want to say that EFC was a pleasure to work with. They treat you with great respect and care, which I truly appreciated. The doctors connect with you and remember your face/name, so it never feels transactional. If I choose this path again as a surrogate, I would return to this doctor! I cannot say enough good things about this place.
    Nov 8, 2024
    The doctor and entire staff are very kind and professional! I am so glad this was the fertility clinic where I completed my embryo transfer! Thank you all!!

    There are not enough words to express my gratitude for the opportunity to work with Ember Fertility. IVF is not an easy journey, but with everyone here, it was the most amazing experience I could have had. I went to them as a surrogate, and they cared for me extremely well. I was welcomed from the moment I walked through the door, and every staff member was outstanding. Every question was answered immediately. Lab work and medication were all very easy and pleasant. They continually cared for me, making sure both the baby and I were well. Whether you are using a clinic for your own IVF journey or are a surrogate like me, I 100% recommend and encourage everyone to try their clinic.

    My experience with this clinic was wonderful! Dr. Freije is warm, funny, and highly skilled. He makes you feel comfortable at every step. My coordinator, Linda, was also excellent and promptly explained the next steps in detail. The clinical staff are professional and very kind. If I pursue IVF again, I will absolutely return to this clinic. I recommend it to everyone needing IVF.

    Ember Fertility is absolutely the best clinic in California. The staff are professional, kind, and trustworthy and truly make you feel like family. I completed an embryo transfer and am deeply grateful to Ember and its staff for this life-changing experience that I will never forget. Thank you sincerely to the doctor and his staff.

    A costly mistake! Think twice before choosing Ember Fertility! I do not usually write reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others about my experience with Ember Fertility. I began the process full of hope, but it became one of the most frustrating and exhausting experiences of my life. I paid tens of thousands of dollars for IVF treatment, believing I had made the right choice. At first everything seemed promising, until it was not. None of my embryos survived, and the clinic offered no clear explanation of what went wrong. Whenever I asked for more details, I received vague responses and felt completely uninformed. The refund process was even worse. I was initially told I qualified, but when I requested formal details explaining how my refund was calculated, I received only excuses and delays. They never provided a formal refund policy or proper documentation, just an arbitrary amount with no clear rationale. At this point, I do not even know whether the calculation is fair or whether they simply chose an amount and expect me to accept it. If they operate transparently, why can they not provide simple documentation supporting their position? 🛑 If you are considering Ember Fertility, do your research. Get every financial detail in writing before paying. Do not assume policies will be explained later. Ask them directly about their refund policy. If they hesitate to provide clear terms upfront, that is a warning sign. Be prepared to pursue answers. If something goes wrong, do not expect quick or clear communication. I hope no one experiences what I did. Fertility treatment is difficult enough; uncertainty and financial opacity should not be part of the process.

    My wife and I are so thankful for everything the team at Ember Fertility has done for us! We are both first-time mothers and chose IVF because of potentially blocked fallopian tubes. Going into this journey, we hoped to find a clinic that would support us as a multicultural couple and members of the LGBTQ+ community. From the beginning, we felt very supported and encouraged by all the clinic staff. Sherrie was our patient care coordinator and was absolutely phenomenal to have on our team! She treated us like family, was always available to answer our questions or concerns, and connected us with our doctor when needed. Dr. Freije is amazing at what he does. He always took time to explain every part of the IVF process and genetic testing so we could make the best-informed decisions for our family. He was very thorough and provided individualized care specific to me as the patient. It is very important to remain empowered to advocate for yourself and never be afraid to ask questions. After our egg retrieval, we had questions about the quality and quantity of our eggs/embryos, but unfortunately we were never able to meet with the embryologist to address these concerns. Dr. Freije reassured us that the quality and quantity of the embryos we created would allow us to have the complete family size we had said we wanted. NP Wei was also an excellent point of contact and source of support throughout the process, ensuring we received updated care and medication instructions. Our phlebotomist Gen always drew my blood on the first attempt and made it as painless as possible! The entire care team at Ember Fertility was compassionate, gentle, and patient with us throughout our journey. Our first embryo transfer was successful, and we are now expecting our first baby this summer! I recommend Ember Fertility to everyone I know who is seeking support from a knowledgeable medical team. We are so happy we found them!

    Ember Fertility was a wonderful clinic for my partner and me. We decided to have a child in early 2024, and when we began our IVF journey in month 5, the process was streamlined. She had her first positive test after the first embryo transfer. I am very grateful for the personalized treatment Dr. Freije provided my wife. His approach made it easy for me to trust him during treatment. He is optimistic but realistic and will not transfer an embryo if he believes your body is not ready. I think this is important because some doctors will simply ‘see what happens’ and may waste your time. In addition, Shirley warmly greeted us and spoke with us each time we entered the office. She was very welcoming and communicative. She also gave us educational resources and papers to review so we could learn more. As the partner of someone who successfully underwent IVF, I highly recommend Ember Fertility. My only advice is to make sure you ask questions. Do not be afraid to speak up and request more information. As patients, we sometimes forget the agency we have over our own bodies. It is important to remind yourself that you have every right to know what is happening with your body and embryos.

    Ember Infertility was tremendously helpful on our path to parenthood. Our patient coordinator, Sherrie, was outstanding—always responsive, attentive, and proactive in her communication. She kept us supported and informed at every step. Sherrie's dedication truly made a difference, ensuring our questions were answered promptly and helping us feel at ease throughout the process. We are very grateful for the attentive care from Ember Infertility!

    After consulting several IVF centers, I chose this one without hesitation for three main reasons: 1. Reasonable prices, 2. A quiet and comfortable environment, 3. Kind and sincere doctors and counselors. I paid the deposit immediately on the day of my consultation. Throughout the process, Dr. Freji personally supervised my care and knew my case thoroughly. EFC does not feel overly commercial—it feels more like a family helping you achieve your lifelong dream. My baby is now two months old and very healthy. Thank you so much!

    I underwent IVF because of a chromosomal translocation. Although I needed two egg retrievals, I am very satisfied with the positive outcome. After all, success is never 100%. We are very happy to have succeeded twice. My son is now four months old. The entire care team was excellent. A doctor personally examined me every time. The clinic is clean, hygienic, and professional. Dr. Freije is wonderful. Thank you again, everyone. Thank you, Linda and Min Yi.

    When I began my surrogacy journey, I was concerned about choosing a clinic and agency. Ember Fertility has been wonderful. They manage everything and communicate with me very well. They answer all my questions and tell me in advance what to expect so I can prepare for each step of the process. Thank you.

    My experience at Ember Fertility Center (EFC) was truly excellent. From the beginning, everyone I encountered was exceptionally kind, supportive, and helpful. The staff made what could have been an exciting and overwhelming journey feel calm and manageable at every step. Dr. Freiji was outstanding—not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but also extremely attentive to every detail. I always felt well cared for and confident throughout the process. The entire process was much smoother than I expected and, to my surprise, completely painless. Even more exciting, my first embryo transfer was successful! I am extremely grateful to EFC for helping us reach this incredible milestone. I wholeheartedly recommend Ember Fertility Center to anyone considering IVF. I have already shared my positive experience with friends who may need similar support. My sincere thanks to everyone at EFC!

    I remember that a few months after beginning my surrogacy journey, I was told I needed to travel to California for testing. Honestly, I was nervous about flying alone, but also excited to see California. My program coordinator, Becky, was wonderful. She welcomed me warmly and answered all my questions in detail. I felt nervous being alone in another state, but the team made me feel calm. Everyone was kind, and the environment was quiet and clean. The next time I flew back to California, I stayed a few more days and had my embryo transfer. I was very excited. You hear many stories about unsuccessful IVF, and I felt anxious and worried about my transfer. However, I felt that the team knew what they were doing and took it seriously. After the transfer, I returned home. About a week later, my pregnancy was confirmed. I was very happy that this clinic was part of my first successful IVF pregnancy. I am now 6 months pregnant. They are the best team of nurses and doctors. I would definitely recommend this fertility clinic to my friends and family. The trip to California was worth it. California itself is beautiful, and their care made the experience even better. Thanks to their excellent service, I now have a strong baby. Ember Fertility treated me very well. ❤️

    Everyone at Ember Clinic is wonderful. I especially want to acknowledge Annie, on a Sunday night, when I urgently needed my missing dose of a medication, she went above and beyond to make sure I got it quickly and safely. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care made a stressful situation so much easier. The entire team at Ember Clinic is compassionate, reliable, and truly dedicated to patient care, and Annie exemplifies that excellence. Thank you for your exceptional help!

    My surrogacy experience was wonderful! Everyone was so understanding and caring. I truly felt heard, seen, and cared for. My intended parent was also very understanding. I could not have met anyone more compassionate or grateful. I feel incredibly blessed and honored to bring this wonderful couple such joy. 💖 Linda, Christie, Samantha, and the blue-eyed blonde Barbie are just a few of the many outstanding, strong women on Dr. Freije's team. I simply want to thank this amazing team for caring for me throughout the journey ❤️💖. They made everything go so smoothly that I am even considering becoming a surrogate again.

    This was my first experience with this clinic and Dr. Frije. I am a surrogate, and honestly, I expected the process to be more complicated or even very stressful, but they made everything so easy. Dr. Frije is an excellent doctor who is respectful and highly professional. He stays attentive throughout the process, genuinely cares about his patients, and makes sure everything goes smoothly. Best of all, he speaks Spanish fluently. If you are considering any type of IVF treatment, this clinic is an excellent choice. They make everything simple, and the staff are outstanding. Linda was my coordinator and stayed with me throughout the process, attending to every detail. She was amazing. Samantha and Christy were also always very kind. Overall, every staff member was excellent. If you are looking for IVF treatment, Ember Fertility is the best choice. I sincerely thank the entire staff.

    Dr. Frije and his care team are wonderful. The clinic staff are always courteous, and the doctor is consistently friendly, professional, and reassuring. They provide personalized care, send weekly updates and instructions by email, answer any questions at any time, and even provide video guidance for injections. One of my coordinators also sent me flowers, which made me feel cared for and supported. 10/10

    We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Freije, Shirley, and the entire team for everything they did for us. The journey was not easy, but your care, guidance, and support made all the difference. Dr. Freije, thank you for your expertise and for giving us hope and confidence throughout. Special thanks also to Shirley—you are amazing. Your kindness, patience, and constant help carried us through a difficult time, and words cannot express our gratitude. Because of you, we are finally pregnant, and we could not be more thankful.

    在纽波特海滩一家知名生育诊所经历了几次失败的宫腔内人工授精（IUI）周期后，我感到沮丧、身心俱疲，经济也捉襟见肘。那几个月里，我只见过医生两次——一次是线上视频问诊，一次是最后一次就诊。直到多次IUI失败后，医生才建议我尝试试管婴儿（IVF），这让我后悔当初没有早点得到更个性化的指导。 为了找到一家更支持我、更透明、更以患者为中心的诊所，我开始寻找其他选择。就在那时，我发现了Ember Fertility，从第一次就诊开始，我就知道我找到了不一样的地方。 协调员Sherri热情友好地接待了我，让我立刻感到放松。Frejie医生富有同情心，诚实坦率，并且对我的卵子受孕几率给出了务实的评估。作为一个44岁、受孕几率较低的女性，我非常欣赏他直截了当的态度以及他愿意让我清楚地了解所有选择。尽管成功的几率并不高，但我还是决定尝试用自己的卵子进行试管婴儿治疗。 在整个过程中，弗雷杰医生和他的团队都非常出色。每次预约我都能见到弗雷杰医生本人，这让我感到备受重视和关怀。工作人员尽力配合我的时间安排，护士们更是反应迅速，总能在24小时内回复我的问题，并且花额外的时间指导我完成第一次注射。他们的耐心、友善和敬业精神让这段充满挑战的旅程变得轻松许多。 我很幸运，最终有一个胚胎成功着床，现在我幸福地怀孕了。当确认怀孕的消息传来时，整个团队都和我一起庆祝。弗雷杰医生听到这个消息后高兴得跳了起来。他那真挚的喜悦和对患者及其成功的深切关怀，令人动容。 我非常感谢Ember Fertility诊所给予我的支持、关怀和专业的医疗服务。我由衷地向所有寻求生育治疗的人推荐这家诊所。弗雷杰医生为人诚实、知识渊博，提出的建议也切合实际，同时在整个过程中都给予了我极大的关怀。我所得到的照顾至关重要，我将永远感激这个团队在我实现成为母亲的梦想过程中所发挥的作用。
    Jun 18, 2026
    从始至终都无可挑剔！强烈推荐。我们特地从波多黎各来到橙县，就是为了体验这家诊所，这完全是朋友的推荐，而他们的服务远远超出了我们的预期。他们提供的理解、关怀和个性化服务真的无与伦比。在那里遇到的每个人都像对待真正的朋友一样对待你。 弗雷耶医生知识渊博、耐心细致，并且全程参与。我们的协调员谢丽也尽心尽力，确保我们始终了解情况并得到悉心照料。我对Ember Fertility诊所、谢丽和弗雷耶医生的体验赞不绝口。 如果您正在寻找高质量的医疗服务，并希望最大限度地提高成功怀孕的几率，那么这里绝对是您的最佳选择！
