    我对在休斯顿CCRM预约监测的经历感到非常失望。 我是一名不孕不育患者，目前在纽约市的一家生育诊所接受治疗。由于暂时居住在休斯顿，我的医生给我开了验血和超声检查单，并嘱咐我周六在当地进行监测以确认排卵。鉴于不孕不育治疗的时效性很强，我致电休斯顿CCRM，希望能安排一次简单的监测。 在等待工作人员审核我的请求后，我被告知CCRM不为外地患者提供周六监测服务。虽然我理解诊所有自己的规定，但考虑到不孕不育治疗的特殊性，这样的回复实在令人沮丧。排卵并非遵循周一至周五的规律，而且患者经常需要旅行、暂时搬迁，或者需要在其常住诊所之外进行监测。错过一次监测可能会对治疗周期造成严重的后果，包括情感上、身体上和经济上的影响。 作为一名休斯顿本地人，我惊讶地发现CCRM竟然不愿意为一位已经持有医生医嘱的患者提供基本的监测服务。生育治疗本身就压力巨大，如果还要因为诊所周末不提供外部监测而临时抱佛脚，那就更是雪上加霜。 我希望CCRM能够重新考虑这项政策，或者为类似情况的患者提供其他选择。生育患者在治疗的关键时刻需要灵活性和支持，而这次的经历却恰恰相反。

    工作人员友善且专业，但我对诊所最近的政策变更感到失望。 现在就诊时不允许带孩子，这给已有家庭的患者带来了沉重的负担。 我对检测结果的传达方式也感到不满意，感觉自己无法直接获取有关自身治疗的信息。 由于这些变化，我决定转诊到Aspire生育诊所。那里的工作人员非常优秀，但新政策已无法满足我的需求。

    If I could do it over, I would never come here again. I chose CCRM because my OB-GYN recommended Dr. McKnight. I will admit that they move things along quickly in the morning so you can get to work, but this also means you do not receive attentive care from the doctor. Everything felt rushed on the day of surgery. I could tell the doctor wanted to finish my procedure as quickly as possible. She pushed me toward the restroom while holding my IV pole, and I was confused about why she was doing it instead of my nurse. I did not even have time to say goodbye to my husband, who was equally confused about why I was being rushed. In the operating room, she spoke only to the staff, told them to hurry, and asked whether anyone knew the schedule. As a patient lying on an operating table in a cold room, hearing this made me nervous that she might rush through my procedure too. I am also a healthcare professional who regularly performs procedures, and I always try not to rush. My egg count was disappointing. I had been told to expect 10 eggs, then after the procedure I was told there were 14, which sounded promising and suggested more might mature. The next day, however, the number dropped to 9. With all the injections, pain, and stress—especially on the day of surgery—I was deeply disappointed by the level of care from this clinic's staff. Honestly, I feel they have lost their passion and replaced it with corporate financial interests.

    We love Dr. Zhou! Her team was also very helpful and supportive. We were very anxious after our first meeting, but she developed a treatment plan that gave us a clearer understanding of our condition. She was thorough and thoughtful, helping us see that with determination, a solution could be found.

    I met with Dr. Zhou, who clearly explained the IVF process. She was very attentive and showed genuine concern for my needs. I highly recommend Dr. Zhou.

    I'm sad to write this review as I walked in so hopeful to CCRM and to work with Dr. McKnight. The clinic itself is pretty and clean, and my nurse Lizzy was always kind. CCRM may be a top notch Houston clinic, but remember, you are a number here in the revolving door of women. If you have success here, I'm sure you would describe your experience as amazing. My visits were easy, quick, and on time. Dr. McKnight was lovely upon meeting.. but, if you are looking for a doctor who thinks outside the box for you, or who will take a minute out of her day to check in after not one, not two, but THREE failed embryo transfers.. she is not for you. I found myself asking Google or ChatGPT for recommendations, what labs to ask for, or what procedures to ask about because I got such little recommended to me. I deserved more. For the insane amount of money, time, and energy I spent, I deserved more. Since deciding to move clinics, I've had consults with two other fertility specialists. I felt I had more support, guidance, and encouragement in those 30 minute meetings than I had in my year at CCRM. This was just my experience, and I know many will continue to have success here. For those who haven't and want more, don't second guess, make a change.

    I have to share this excellent experience! I felt comfortable from the moment I entered. Everyone I spoke with was warm and friendly. I loved the natural, unpretentious atmosphere and the wonderful staff. I was impressed and look forward to returning. They immediately inspire trust and clearly have extensive experience. Everything is organized, and they explain what is happening in detail so you remain informed. They are helpful, patient, and sincere. Keep it up!

    Dr. Zhou is amazing! I waited nine months to write this review, until my daughter was born. We had infertility while trying for our second child. We even went to Costa Rica for an IVF transfer because we did not want to wait for insurance coverage in the U.S. Although our Costa Rica experience was good, CCRM's medical care was much better. Dr. Zhou was always proactive and patiently explained everything. CCRM was excellent overall, but I strongly recommend seeing Dr. Zhou if possible. We will return when we try for our third child!

    For my second cycle, I’ll do more research and choose a fertility clinic that doesn’t operate like a factory. The facility is beautiful, the phlebotomists and most nurses were amazing. Still, I felt like just a number at the most vulnerable moment of my life. Also, don’t expect to be educated on anything. I asked for all my results to be uploaded to the patient portal so that I can run them through ChatGPT. Understand that their cost breakdown does not include egg transfer if you are successful. As I said, the next cycle, I’ll look for a clinic that is more private. Care, concern, and attentiveness should be top priority.

    If you are considering this clinic, stay far away. I was referred to them through CHOICE SURROGACY, which I absolutely do not recommend—please read my review of them—when I was a gestational surrogate/prospective surrogate. They received my medical records on behalf of a couple whom I had agreed to consider as intended parents. They ordered birth control pills from my pharmacy and instructed me to begin taking them immediately. A few days later, they abruptly changed their minds and claimed I had adenomyosis, which I do not. The intended parents were devastated, and the clinic's conduct was appalling. I paid for a pelvic ultrasound and a transvaginal MRI myself, and both confirmed that I did not have adenomyosis. I never heard from the clinic again. Choice Surrogacy also stopped responding after I requested an update and reimbursement for these completely unnecessary expenses. I am writing this review to warn all intended parents and surrogates/prospective surrogates about the terrible experience they may face if they choose these two organizations. They wasted a great deal of my time and money. Read all the negative and recent reviews carefully because they are very revealing. The clinic's responses you see are performative, superficial, and false. They do not care; they are greedy and disgusting.

    It was a pleasure working with Dr. McKnight. The front desk was kind, and the phlebotomist was extremely efficient. I genuinely love the entire CCRM team. Thanks to them, I now have my rainbow baby, and I wish everyone on this journey well. 🌈✨

    My video consultation with Dr. Timothy Hickman was excellent. He was warm, thoughtful, thorough, and never rushed me. He allowed ample time for questions and explained everything clearly without confusing medical jargon. His expertise and reputation are unquestionable, but his kindness and patience truly distinguish him. I ended the call feeling informed, supported, and confident about treatment at CCRM. I highly recommend him for IVF or egg freezing.
    Nov 7, 2025
    I am very grateful for Dr. Timothy's professionalism and attentive care. I recently had my first consultation with him and plan to begin my fertility journey next month. He explained everything patiently and thoroughly and was very considerate. His dedication truly gave me new hope. The fertility journey is never easy for a woman facing infertility, but a kind and caring physician like Dr. Timothy makes the process feel much more reassuring.

    This is an excellent fertility clinic. The people and facilities are outstanding and absolutely worth the visit. They restored my hope of having children in the future. Dr. Hickman is a wonderful physician who listens carefully, creates thoughtful treatment plans, and always makes time for questions. What truly makes this frustrating process bearable, however, is his nursing team, especially Allison. She genuinely cares about her work and patients, answers every question within hours, even seemingly silly ones, and always offers a solution or sound advice. Every procedure nurse is calm, professional, and able to maintain a sense of humor during stressful moments. They are knowledgeable and put you at ease before procedures. Honestly, I never had an unpleasant encounter with any nurse or doctor. The clinic is clean, spacious, and efficient; I never waited more than 10 minutes. I would wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to any friend needing fertility care.

    I cannot praise CCRM enough. They are professional, knowledgeable, and caring. We trusted them completely with our fertility journey. Dr. McKnight in particular is amazing, and I recommend her to everyone.

    I love Dr. McKnight! She is an excellent doctor who always answers every question patiently and explains everything thoroughly.

    I went for a consultation, and everyone was very kind. The woman who drew my blood was highly professional and made me feel comfortable. The financial counselor was also excellent and answered all my questions! Dr. Hickman was very knowledgeable and made me feel much more at ease about my upcoming IVF journey. The nurse who took my vital signs was also wonderful, and we found some common ground to talk about. I am glad I chose this clinic and have a team like this!

    Dr. Hickman is a good doctor who answered all our questions. We are eager to complete the bloodwork and see whether we can make it through to a result. I know I am already 43, but we are trying. God knows what will happen.

    The full cycle, from egg retrieval through embryo transfer and genetic testing, cost $30,000, but produced only 1 good embryo and the transfer failed. Although I know that is not their fault, my concern is communication and lack of information. My previous doctor was kind, but Dr. Nodler, whom I began seeing, did not provide much detail. He simply asked whether I had any questions. He answered basic questions as far as I knew, but offered no further details unless I asked. After spending $30,000 and retrieving only 1 good embryo, I learned that frozen eggs have a low chance of developing into embryos. Had I known, retrieving more would have seemed advisable, but he never explained the odds. I retrieved 8 eggs and thought that was enough. He did not tell me about either the low chance of eggs developing into embryos or the 30–40% chance of success after embryo transfer. I regret learning this only now. In terms of cost, Texas and CCRM are among the most expensive. Clinics in other states charge about one-third as much, with full cycles costing $6,000 to $10,000 rather than $30,000. Research carefully before choosing a clinic, and select a doctor who cares about patients, because Dr. Nodler showed no concern and provided no information. Most importantly, I underwent a hysteroscopy and was told to take Tylenol because it would involve only ‘mild cramping.’ Again, they did not explain that it could be extremely painful or that I could choose general anesthesia instead of Tylenol. It was an excruciating experience that caused shock and vomiting. They had to stop and reschedule the procedure with anesthesia. Again, this was due to the lack of information provided to the patient. Dr. Nodler transferred to Seattle, and Dr. Zhou handled the final part. He was more caring and at least provided information about my transfer, which was my final step. If I could go back, I would have done this in Mexico because successful implantation may require multiple transfers and cycles, and unfortunately that is ‘normal.’ Success on the first transfer is extremely rare, which I did not know before. Colorado, Arizona, and even New York have less expensive fertility clinics. You need to do your research.

    Dr. Hickman is truly exceptional. He listens carefully and makes you feel valued at every visit. He never rushes appointments and always ensures that all your concerns are thoroughly addressed. His bedside manner is excellent—calm, kind, and genuinely caring. It is rare to find a physician who combines such professionalism with compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Hickman at CCRM to anyone seeking high-quality care.

    We recently transferred our IVF care from Dr. Nodler to Dr. Hickman, who is now overseeing treatment. Dr. Hickman is professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. He answered all our concerns and questions. We feel very confident having him lead our IVF cycle.
    May 20, 2025
    The staff were very warm and friendly. I waited only a few minutes to speak with the doctor; she was ready for me as soon as I checked in. Dr. McKnight was very kind. She thoroughly explained everything we were considering and planning and presented all my options. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone planning a family.

    My first experience at CCRM was excellent. Dr. Hickman and his team were very compassionate and professional. I felt comfortable at the clinic and was able to understand my process. I recommend this clinic and Dr. Hickman because even though we do not speak the same language, I still felt a strong connection. Thank you.
    Feb 14, 2025
    Very kind and nonjudgmental. Made me feel very comfortable regardless of my personal circumstances. Follow-up appointment scheduled quickly. I cannot wait to see how things progress. ;)

    Dr. McKnight is very professional, thorough, and easy to talk to. She took time to review the notes and information I provided in advance and proposed a comprehensive, thoughtful plan during our initial consultation.
    Jan 30, 2025
    My experience at CCRM Houston was very positive. We hoped IVF would succeed, and it did. Regardless of our transfer result, I am grateful to Dr. Hickman and his staff. Our doctor and nurses, including Nurse Sonia and everyone who helped, were knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Hickman was present throughout my treatment. He listened to and remembered all our concerns. I was also able to meet and speak with the embryologist before egg retrieval. Communication about our results was direct and consistent. If you want an honest review from someone who has undergone IVF with CCRM and elsewhere, I strongly recommend trusting CCRM Houston and Dr. Hickman.

    From beginning to end, my husband and I had a very positive experience with the CCRM team. Dr. Zhou, Allie, and the entire CCRM team were wonderful. The front desk and nursing teams were always welcoming. The entire team is very thorough and proactive in ensuring that you understand what is happening at every step of the journey, providing options when available, and showing compassion throughout. Unlike some reviews I have seen, I found that my care team was always very responsive through the Salve app and by phone when needed. You do not see your doctor at every visit, but you see the doctor when it matters. With so many women coming for blood tests and ultrasounds every morning, it would not make sense to see the doctor every time. It is much faster for staff to perform routine monitoring. I personally appreciated this and was consistently able to get to work early, with appointments always at 7:30 a.m., instead of facing the scheduling nightmare of seeing a specific doctor every day during daily or alternate-day appointments. I would add that because the timing of egg retrievals/transfers is very sensitive, there is no guarantee that all your procedures will fall on days when your doctor is working. The CCRM team prioritizes the timing most likely to produce a successful outcome rather than dates and times when your doctor is available. I personally agree with this approach. Dr. McKnight performed my egg retrieval, and I had a positive experience with her. Dr. Zhou performed my transfer and was excellent as always. I would recommend this team to anyone beginning a fertility journey! Background: My husband and I came to CCRM for IVF and achieved my first pregnancy.
    Jan 1, 2025
    Dr. McKnight is amazing. She and her nurses are thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable. This is the best care I have received from a doctor or clinic. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend CCRM and Dr. McKnight.
    Jan 9, 2025
    We scheduled a consultation with Dr. McKnight. She was knowledgeable and patient with us. She explained the IVF process very clearly and answered all my questions. The entire team, from the front desk to the nurses, was pleasant. I recommend this place.

    The entire staff at CCRM Houston are wonderful. We are extremely grateful to all of them. We had nothing but a five-star experience throughout our journey.
    Sep 16, 2024
    Everyone seemed nice, but I was overcharged for only a consultation and some blood tests.
    Sep 17, 2024
    Update: 7 months later, they still will not remove charges for services we did not receive. I called to speak with the business manager as instructed in the response below, but they either do not return calls or always send me to voicemail. They are all scammers and liars. ———— Beware!! Worst service ever. They are money grabbers. They charged us for services they did not provide. We contacted them, but they would not remove the charges. Please stay away.

    I think this company takes advantage of people's lack of knowledge. It is only interested in making money and makes unnecessary recommendations. Vitamin D is one of the main vitamins women need during an IVF cycle, yet the doctor never identified that my level was too low and could harm my egg quality. Many unnecessary visits were required. The doctor was never there, or at least always had something better to do. The treatment plan was very aggressive and did not even allow time for the eggs to mature. When I ordered medication, I bought what they told me to buy, which was far more than I needed. I threw away half and still have some left after spending ten thousand. When I went for the embryo transfer, the new doctor was rude and acted as though he was already done. There are countless reasons not to use this company. Worst of all, I felt truly alone and told the team I was experiencing severe depression. They told me it was not the doctor's job to help with depression. If you are reading this, choose someone else; that company is terrible. They received $20,000 and still wanted more money, even charging for things that did not happen. IVF is the only business in the world where patients pay for failure, like the ninth circle of hell. CCRM is a hellish place where doctors walk around in beautiful $1,000 shoes and prey on vulnerable people.
    Jul 24, 2024
    I came here for intrauterine insemination (IUI) at my OB-GYN's recommendation. As others have said, billing is difficult. The main reason for my average rating is that a technician ignored the latex allergy listed in my chart and inserted a latex-covered probe while examining my ovaries. I had an allergic reaction, and no one in the office understood or had anything available, such as Benadryl. I had them print my intake paperwork, where the allergy was listed. It was also in my chart; she simply ignored it. During my first visit, they checked my information and I also told them about the allergy, yet it took more than 10 minutes to find a latex-free cover. My second IUI was ultimately successful and I had a beautiful baby boy, but the lack of attention to detail is concerning.
    Sep 2, 2024
    This was my first visit to CCRM at the Gessner location, and I must say the staff go out of their way to make you feel like their number-one patient. From reception to Dr. McKnight to the phlebotomist who drew my blood, everyone did an excellent job. I felt seen, heard, and valued. This is what healthcare needs, and CCRM is definitely doing it right!
    Sep 6, 2024
    5 stars for Dr. Zhou!

    Dr. McKnight and her staff are very kind and knowledgeable. They made us feel very comfortable with the process and treatment options.
