    Words cannot describe how incredible this clinic, Dr. Berger, and his staff—Kate, Pila, and others—are! Before choosing Innovative Fertility, I consulted several IVF clinics. The others seemed to offer cookie-cutter care. At Innovative Fertility, you can immediately see how caring and invested Dr. Berger is, in addition to being highly knowledgeable and experienced. IVF can be emotionally difficult, but throughout our treatment, Dr. Berger was compassionate and approachable. He even helped me with a non-IVF issue while my gynecologist was unavailable, which he certainly did not have to do! Our son was born last week, and we are extremely grateful!

    A life-changing experience with Innovative Fertility and Dr. Burger My husband and I spent a year and a half trying to conceive and faced disappointment every month. It was an emotional and challenging journey, but everything changed when we turned to Innovative Fertility Center in Manhattan Beach. From our first consultation, Dr. Burger and his incredible team made us feel hopeful, supported, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Burger patiently and expertly guided us through every step of IVF, ensuring that we felt informed and comfortable. He was compassionate and knowledgeable and always willing to answer our questions, large or small. His dedication and confidence gave us the reassurance we needed to continue. The entire Innovative Fertility staff was exceptional. From the nurses to the front-desk team, everyone was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in our journey. Their kindness and encouragement made a tremendous difference during what could have been an overwhelming process. Thanks to Dr. Burger and his team, I became pregnant through IVF, and today I am carrying my beautiful baby boy, Zane. Words cannot express my gratitude to this clinic for making our dream of parenthood a reality. If you are struggling with infertility and looking for a place that offers both medical expertise and unwavering support, Innovative Fertility Center is where you need to go. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing fertility challenges—they truly change lives. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Dr. Burger and the entire Innovative Fertility team for giving us the greatest gift.

    Dr. Berger and the Innovative Fertility Center team provided exceptional care during my egg retrieval. Dr. Berger's expertise, compassion, and personalized approach made a challenging process much easier. I highly recommend Dr. Berger and his team to anyone seeking fertility care!

    Dr. Berger was exceptional and extremely helpful throughout IVF. I highly recommend the small-town feel of their office—the doctor even gave us his cell phone number. We are so glad we chose them for our fertility journey because we now have a beautiful 1-month-old baby girl!

    I have completed 3 egg-freezing cycles at IFC and am grateful to have found Dr. Berger and his staff. It felt like a personalized experience; they were warm and as accommodating as possible throughout. Dr. Berger noticed that my body was not responding to the medication, so he changed the protocols for my next two cycles, resulting in 90% and 100% retrieval rates in the following rounds. I will return once more to reach my goal, but I am grateful to have found this clinic and team to help me plan for the future and make this uncomfortable process as easy as possible.

    Dr. Berger and his team provided exceptional care throughout our IVF cycle, ultimately leading to the birth of our beautiful baby girl. Their personalized, one-on-one approach to care was truly outstanding. It was reassuring that Dr. Berger was present at every visit and that we could easily call with any questions. The team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and well-being. I highly recommend their services and would gladly return for future fertility treatment.

    The team at Innovative Fertility is always so kind and welcoming. I had previously visited other clinics, and what I appreciate most here is the close, family-like atmosphere. I never felt like a number; they all knew my name, which made a stressful and emotional experience much more positive. Dr. Berger has an excellent bedside manner and always took the time to explain our options, ease my concerns, and make appropriate adjustments throughout our journey. I am now cuddling my beautiful, healthy 3-month-old daughter, and I will always be grateful to the Innovative Fertility team for helping make our family more complete.

    The Innovative team is attentive and caring. Working with my insurance company had its challenges, but they helped me at every step. Dr. Berger is wonderful and thoroughly explained the science behind the process. Highly recommend!

    Words cannot express our gratitude to Innovative Fertility! They helped us have our miracle baby, and we will always be grateful to the outstanding team that supported us throughout. Dr. Berger answered all our questions, understood our feelings, made us laugh during the hardest moments, and ultimately helped us have our lovely daughter. Kate was outstanding. She patiently answered our many questions and taught us everything about the process. The rest of the staff were also kind, friendly, and helpful. Everyone who helped us made a lasting impression! It was an unforgettable experience during a challenging time. Now that our daughter is here, we are proud that Innovative Fertility is part of her story. —Max and Alexa

    Dr. Berger gave us hope when we needed it most. After a long, emotional infertility journey, his compassion, expertise, and unwavering support helped make our dream of parenthood a reality. Throughout the process, we always felt heard and cared for and never felt alone. We are now awaiting our miracle baby and will always be grateful to Dr. Berger and his incredible team for guiding us at every step.

    After trying three different fertility clinics, I finally found Dr. B. My case was not straightforward, but we worked together and found my ‘rainbow baby.’ We feel incredibly fortunate to have built our family with the help of Innovative Fertility. Dr. B performed every ultrasound and met with me after each one to clearly discuss the next steps, which I greatly appreciated. I used to have endless questions, but Dr. B always answered them. If we decide to have a second child, we will definitely return.

    My overall experience with the office staff and Dr. Berger was unpleasant. His assistant handled most of the communication and tried to answer my questions, but her responses lacked medical precision and professionalism. She repeatedly used peer-pressure tactics to push me into making decisions, ultimately leading me to block her number. My interactions with Dr. Berger were limited and brief. He recommended genetic testing through Natera and mentioned that it might not be covered by insurance. I later learned that few insurance plans cover such extensive genetic testing, and I received a $350 bill. After researching Natera online, I found that they and some fertility clinics frequently use scare tactics for financial gain. Overall, I found another clinic that was more caring and professional than Innovative Fertility.

    Dr. Berger, Kate, and everyone at Innovative Fertility Center were outstanding. They carefully reviewed my infertility history and all my tests and diagnosed Asherman syndrome almost immediately. Dr. Berger performed surgery to remove the adhesions and helped me follow a strict postoperative protocol. I am now pregnant. In addition to being highly skilled, they are very kind. I highly recommend them. Thank you so much for everything.

    First, I want to say that every fertility journey is unique. Choosing this path means exposing your most vulnerable self to a stranger—a doctor found through an online search or word of mouth. It is an overwhelming and frightening way to begin. Then I found Dr. B. I felt that I had not only won the lottery, but also found a team that would truly accompany me through this vulnerable journey. In 2022, after multiple miscarriages and at advanced maternal age (39 at the time), I began working with Dr. B. From the beginning, he and his team supported me throughout. At every appointment, he patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions and concerns. There were frightening moments, but each time Dr. B calmly assessed the situation and gave me a clear path forward. I will never forget experiencing light bleeding after embryo transfer. I was terrified and nearly hopeless. After I left an urgent voicemail, Dr. B personally called me on a Sunday and explained exactly what to do. On another occasion, I accidentally used the wrong medication dose, and he reassured me and explained the correct response. Moments like these made me feel incredibly fortunate that I had chosen this IVF clinic. The outcome: two egg retrievals, two healthy embryos, one healthy daughter born in 2023, and one healthy son born in 2025. I also want to add that even if my IVF treatment had not succeeded, I would still be profoundly grateful for the attentive care, compassion, and experience I received here.

    Dr. Berger is wonderful, and Pella is always very helpful with billing questions. Everyone at the clinic is warm and friendly. This journey has not been easy, but every visit and phone call made us feel genuinely cared for and supported. We appreciate how the staff always tried to communicate clearly and make us comfortable. We sincerely thank the entire team for their warmth, patience, and compassion. Love from Kim and Jiyeop.

    我们的求子之路并非一帆风顺,但伯杰医生和他的团队始终陪伴在我们身边。他们在我们低谷时给予安慰,在我们取得成就时与我们一同庆祝。2025年9月,我们迎来了我们的奇迹宝宝——一个男婴,现在我们又怀上了第二个奇迹宝宝。我们无比感激伯杰医生和他出色的团队!

    我无法用言语来表达我对创新生育中心、伯杰医生以及整个团队的感激之情。 我和我的丈夫现在是两个可爱、活泼、完美的双胞胎男孩的父母,他们下个月就两岁了。我衷心感谢伯杰医生和他的团队,是他们帮助我们实现了这个家庭。我们的求子之路并非一帆风顺,但在整个过程中,我们始终感受到他们的指导、支持和关怀。 伯杰医生是一位杰出的医生,他知识渊博、体贴周到、富有同情心,并且对病人尽心尽责。在我们感到不知所措的时候,他给予了我们信心,并帮助我们清晰而细致地度过了每一个阶段。创新生育中心的全体工作人员也同样出色:他们给予我们支持、友善、及时回应,并在我们经历这段充满情感波动和脆弱的时刻给予了我们极大的关怀。 试管婴儿并非易事,但拥有合适的医生和团队至关重要。我们始终感到自己得到了专家的悉心照料,我们永远感激他们给予我们的关怀。因为伯杰医生和创新生育中心,我成为了母亲,我的丈夫成为了父亲,我们的两个小男孩来到了这个世界。 我们将永远心怀感激,并强烈推荐这家诊所给所有正在经历或即将踏上生育之旅的人。

    我和我丈夫无比感激伯杰医生和创新生育中心的全体医护人员。经过试管婴儿的漫长旅程,我们很幸运地在第一次移植后就成功怀孕,而且在整个过程中,我们都感受到了他们无微不至的支持。 伯杰医生不仅医术精湛,而且充满爱心。他总是高效快捷,同时又不失亲切和蔼的态度,这在需要多次就诊(有时甚至每周一次)的治疗过程中至关重要,尤其是在我们还要兼顾工作和日常生活的情况下。他总是耐心解答我们的疑问,解释治疗的每个阶段,让我们对治疗方案充满信心。生育治疗可能会让人感到压力巨大,但他冷静而令人安心的态度起到了至关重要的作用。 更令人印象深刻的是,在试管婴儿治疗过程中,我们遇到了一些个人和工作上的问题,但他竭尽全力地帮助我们解决。他主动联系我真正需要的资源和支持,这种在医疗之外的帮助对我们来说意义非凡。 从取卵到胚胎发育和移植,我们都感受到了卓越的医疗服务。护理人员和协调员也都非常出色——在整个过程中,他们反应迅速、和蔼可亲、做事井井有条。 我们知道每个人的生育之路都不尽相同,但我们对所得到的照顾感激不尽。我们强烈推荐伯杰医生和创新生育中心,给所有正在寻找知识渊博、富有同情心且尽职尽责的生育专家的人。

    我从没想过诊所能让我感到如此温暖舒适。创新生育中心的团队真心实意地让我感受到无微不至的关怀。伯杰医生非常出色,他亲自进行每一次超声检查,而其他团队成员也总是耐心解答我提出的各种问题。他们真是太棒了!在这里就诊是一种非常贴心的体验,而且是那种最美好的体验。我强烈推荐他们!

    The staff at this practice won me over from my first phone call. Their warm attention and welcoming manner confirmed my choice before my first appointment. Dr. Rispler is a warm, reassuring presence in a field that can otherwise feel intimidating and frightening. He and his staff guided my difficult, high-risk case to a successful pregnancy, and I am very grateful. Even if you do not live in the South Bay, this office is well worth the trip!

    I cannot say enough about this office, its staff, Dr. Rispler, and the consistent professionalism and kindness at every visit. First, I want to clarify that I did not receive IVF or IUI treatment and was only monitored during pregnancy. Daysy and Wendy are not doctors, but they may know enough to be; they gave me their full attention, helpful and important advice, and punctual appointments. They treated patients with great empathy and respect and knew so much about fertility, pregnancy, and female anatomy that I often did not need to see the doctor. If I needed anything or felt afraid, they immediately arranged an ultrasound. For several weeks I was very anxious, and they repeatedly performed blood tests to ensure my levels were rising. Dr. Rispler was also wonderful. He took a very conservative approach, which I liked, but he was also direct without sounding harsh or uncaring. He was very kind and patient and took time with every patient. I am so glad I found this kind, knowledgeable, and efficient office, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering having a child.

    Dr. Rispler and his staff did an outstanding job helping my wife and me become pregnant. The entire staff was friendly and helpful, and whenever we walked through the door, we felt like more than just clients. The IUI and IVF processes were initially a mystery, but they always made sure we understood what was happening and took every possible step to improve our chances of pregnancy. We will always be grateful for them and their efforts, and we strongly encourage others beginning a fertility journey to seek treatment from Dr. Rispler and his staff! Daysy and Perla were very helpful in explaining things and offering encouragement throughout the process. They always made us feel welcome and celebrated our success. I would absolutely encourage others seeking treatment to come here!

    Dr. Rispler and his staff are amazing! They care and empathize with your situation. Dr. Rispler is knowledgeable, highly skilled, and has an excellent bedside manner. Daysy was very helpful and always answered my many questions about the process, medications, procedures, and more. I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to Dr. Rispler and his staff, Daysy, Perla, Lynn, Carol, and Jacqueline, for their dedication and support throughout the process. They truly are the best!
