    Dr. Desai is one of the best doctors I have ever met! I am now 7 weeks pregnant and highly recommend her. We chose this clinic specifically because of her reputation, and I am so glad we did. We are extremely grateful! From our first appointment, she made us feel heard and supported. No matter how many questions I asked, she answered patiently and explained everything clearly. Dr. Desai is gentle, understanding, and genuinely cares about her patients. She treats patients as people, not just cases. All the nurses are also very kind. The entire team is wonderful—A+! If you are looking for a compassionate, highly skilled, and dedicated doctor, Dr. Desai is an excellent choice. I would not hesitate—and already have—to recommend this clinic to others!

    Tingting and Catalina from FSAC are the most unprofessional, rude, and irresponsible people I encountered during my surrogacy journey. They took a share of the service fee I paid to the surrogacy agency they recommended, yet refused to fulfill their responsibilities. Whenever a problem arose, they immediately denied involvement, shifted the blame to the other company, and told me, ‘Ask them; we weren't involved.’ This led to endless blame-shifting between the two companies, with no one taking responsibility or genuinely willing to help. As an intended parent facing serious problems during the surrogacy process, I had no one to turn to. Tingting and Catalina repeatedly told me they ‘weren't involved,’ even though I had clearly been told that: • They received part of the fee to manage me as a client • The other agency was responsible for managing the surrogate • This was why the service fee was split equally between the two companies When I challenged them, instead of addressing the issue professionally, they became hostile, blocked me, and threatened legal action, claiming that my contract prohibited me from discussing my experience. That behavior alone speaks volumes about how they operate. Even worse was their bullying and discriminatory attitude. If you are Chinese and not fluent in English, they treat you as if you know nothing and can be pushed around. I am a living example of how they treat clients they believe will not fight back. Their tone was arrogant, aggressive, and intimidating, with no respect or compassion for intended parents going through the physically and emotionally exhausting surrogacy process. From the start of IVF treatment through delivery, the entire process was extremely painful, stressful, and overwhelming, largely because of their conduct, attitude, and refusal to take responsibility. If you value transparency, accountability, and basic humanity, stay away from FSAC's IVF and surrogacy services. No one should have to go through what I experienced.

    Dr. Dhesi and her team are wonderful! Communication was excellent from the first online appointment, and scheduling was easy. Their financial coordinator explained everything clearly, and every nurse and staff member was warm and friendly. Dr. Dhesi patiently explained every detail and made us feel fully supported. I am very grateful for her care and guidance throughout. I highly recommend this clinic; everyone is compassionate, professional, and genuinely caring!

    I underwent IVF with Dr. Amy S. Dhesi and highly recommend her. She is an excellent, helpful, and attentive doctor. We felt exceptionally cared for under her guidance. We are delighted to share the outcome of our healthy pregnancy, along with the other healthy frozen embryos still waiting for us. We are deeply grateful. ❤️

    Highly recommended! Dr. Shamonki and his team helped me through the highest and lowest points of my life. I will always be grateful for the care at FSAC.

    Wow...I cannot say enough about Dr. Shamanki and his staff. My sister is not pregnant yet, but they truly treat everyone like a star. Thanks a million.

    Just a warning so others do not make the same mistake I did: FSAC will say they “accept your insurance” and even collect a copay after every visit, but they are not transparent about it. I understood the costs of simple things such as speaking with a doctor and having an ultrasound. Several months after the appointments, I received a bill for hundreds of dollars because FSAC was out of network. Part of this was my fault for not doing more research beforehand, but most other fertility clinics I checked disclosed upfront that their services were self-pay, so I thought accepting my insurance meant something. That said, Dr. Shamanki is a good doctor. The staff are friendly. Dr. Hubert does not have a good bedside manner—just a warning, because infertility is already an exhausting experience. I will not return because I felt deceived throughout the process. They had me undergo some unnecessary ultrasounds, and now I know why ($$$). But if your insurance actually covers FSAC, then go ahead.
