I am extremely disappointed with my experience trying to schedule monitoring at CCRM Houston.
I am a fertility patient currently receiving treatment at a fertility clinic in New York City. Because I am temporarily staying in Houston, my doctor ordered bloodwork and an ultrasound and instructed me to have local monitoring on Saturday to confirm ovulation. Given the time-sensitive nature of fertility treatment, I called CCRM Houston hoping to arrange a simple monitoring appointment.
After waiting for staff to review my request, I was told that CCRM does not provide Saturday monitoring for outside patients. While I understand that clinics have their own policies, this response was extremely frustrating given the nature of fertility treatment. Ovulation does not follow a Monday-to-Friday schedule, and patients often need to travel, relocate temporarily, or receive monitoring away from their regular clinic. Missing a monitoring appointment can have serious emotional, physical, and financial consequences for a treatment cycle.
As a Houston native, I was surprised that CCRM was unwilling to provide basic monitoring for a patient who already had a physician's order. Fertility treatment is stressful enough without having to scramble at the last minute because a clinic does not provide outside monitoring on weekends.
I hope CCRM will reconsider this policy or offer alternatives for patients in similar situations. Fertility patients need flexibility and support at critical points in treatment, but this experience provided the opposite.

The staff is friendly and professional, but I am disappointed by the clinic's recent policy changes.
Children are no longer allowed at appointments, which places a significant burden on patients who already have families.
I am also unhappy with how test results are communicated, as I feel unable to access information about my own care directly.
Because of these changes, I have decided to transfer my care to Aspire Fertility. The staff here is excellent, but the new policies no longer meet my needs.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
