As I write this at 24 weeks pregnant, my husband and I could not be more grateful to Dr. Ghazal and the entire RISE team. Infertility is an extremely difficult journey physically, emotionally, and mentally. Having a compassionate and empathetic team was essential to us. From the initial consultation through every subsequent appointment, and there are many during IVF, I felt fully informed, supported, and heard. We are deeply grateful to RISE for helping us realize our dream of building a family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Today we graduated from Rise Fertility. What does that mean? Hundreds of injections, a successful egg retrieval, and successful embryo implantation, but most importantly, our family will welcome a baby girl thanks to this beautiful team of angels! They lifted us up when we felt discouraged and brought us joy when we felt hopeless. You can visit every clinic in OC, but there is nowhere like Rise. Their team has become our family. We are grateful and pray for future success for every family longing for a child! It is all worth it! Thank you, Dr. Ghazal, Heidi, Krystal, Angie, Laura, and Taylor. We could not have done this without you! We love you all!

I recently emailed a nurse at RISE comparing graduating from RISE and going to an OB to a breakup followed by a terrible first date! The care at RISE is unlike any care I have received before, and I am extremely grateful for their care during IVF, the genetic testing protocol, and embryo transfer. Dr. Ghazal is not only experienced and knowledgeable, but also kind and sincere. She truly cares about her patients as future parents. We trusted every decision and mid-cycle adjustment because we knew she was closely monitoring our cycle for success. Our nurse coordinator, Laura, was by far the most helpful, supportive, and understanding nurse I could have asked for—she always knew what we needed before I did. She never hesitated to answer my silly questions quickly and supported me in every way, including with injections, advice, and being the ultimate cheerleader during procedures. I can honestly say I do not know how I would have managed without her, and I wish we could keep her in our pocket for the next part of our journey! During our early-morning appointments, we received the full support of the entire RISE team. Heidi and Krystal treated us like their own family, which was incredible. They stayed positive when I could not and made me feel at home. I could obviously go on, but if you are considering RISE, do not hesitate any longer. Anyone would be fortunate to be their patient! ❤️

I cannot imagine going through this process with anyone other than Dr. Ghazal and the Rise team. From our first consultation through graduation, they were kind, compassionate, attentive, and dependable. Through the good and the bad, we trusted them completely with every decision. Every decision Dr. Ghazal made was right for us. Every email I sent was answered within hours, every call was answered immediately, and every result was available in record time. At Rise, we never felt like “just a number.” We highly recommend them!
