The finance department is extremely disorganized, with no internal coordination at all! They processed my payment without making a single note, then kept saying I had not paid the outstanding balance, so they would not schedule my embryo transfer. This seriously delayed the process! No one offered any explanation or apology.

I am very disappointed with this location. I had my first IUI treatment in 2023, then paused treatment because of certain circumstances. I decided to restart this year and called to make my first appointment. After gathering all my information, Griselda told me they needed to contact my nurse, Tiffany Tseng, whom I had seen at the clinic in 2023. Later that afternoon, Griselda called and said I was not a suitable candidate for IUI. Honestly, hearing that when you are trying to become pregnant is heartbreaking. I will definitely not return.

I initially left a poor review because the nurses gave no explanation. I was disappointed with this clinic and saw many women leave in tears. Each medication costs a great deal. I paid $30,000 for the Dream Package, but Natalie is a poor doctor whom I do not recommend. She canceled my Dream Package without telling me, which was wrong, and even nurse Josie did not know. They did not apologize.

Dr. Prema is a good doctor, but the staff are not. They did not even know my name and asked me for a $100 copay. I had to explain that this was not my copay. They then insisted I had no appointment, although I had received appointment texts and emails. When I had questions to discuss and the nurse did not know my history, I waited about 20 minutes only to see a nurse practitioner instead of the doctor. Very disappointing!

After visiting another nearby IVF clinic and finding the experience too transactional, my wife and I began seeing Dr. Kolb and his team at HRC.
My wife was in her late thirties and recovering from surgery for severe endometriosis. At our first meeting, Dr. Kolb was warm, receptive, and transparent about expectations. He made no guarantees and emphasized that several health factors, especially our rate of producing healthy embryos, might mean a long process. He and his team were excellent throughout. Jane, our coordinator and contact, was responsive and always on top of everything, which was reassuring. When our pharmacy delayed necessary medication, she found solutions that kept us on schedule.
We 'graduated' from HRC this month :)

My experience at this fertility clinic was very disappointing. It was clear that the doctors were more interested in making money than genuinely helping patients conceive. The process felt like an assembly line rather than personalized care.
Dr. Wilcox only saw me at intake, performed basic fertility tests, and prescribed medication during the critical period when I was injecting hormones, with no follow-up or monitoring. After that, I was simply scheduled for retrieval.
When the retrieval results were less than satisfactory, he recommended repeating the same protocol without any additional testing or medication adjustments to improve the outcome. No embryo viability testing was performed, even though this is standard practice at other clinics.
Although the clinic looks attractive, it is packed with patients, clearly showing that profit takes priority over outcomes. I strongly recommend seeking fertility treatment elsewhere. This clinic does not provide the care and attention needed for such a sensitive and important journey.

One of the main reasons I chose HRC Pasadena for egg freezing was Dr. Molly Quinn. Providers like Dr. Quinn are hard to find. She is intelligent, approachable, professional, and genuine. I was very nervous, but knew I would be well cared for when I met her. She immediately answered every email and made me feel cared for throughout the process. HRC is very lucky to have her. I was mainly under Dr. Quinn's care, but Dr. Gig also handled some monitoring appointments and seemed very kind. I am also very grateful to Alondra, my coordinator. She responds well to emails and is the sweetest. I had minor consultation/scheduling issues at first, possibly due to poor communication between the main call center and front desk. I gave 4 stars because the financial coordinator was difficult to reach.

Dr. Wilcox ignored my chart and age and prescribed too much medication. When I was brought in for overstimulation, he said, “This is the worst case I have seen in ten years. Because you are young, I probably could have done less,” then walked out. I needed a wheelchair and was sick for a week. I only truly spoke with him twice and was passed among different nurses. My sister-in-law froze her eggs at the same time and had a better experience at every step. Now I continue receiving bills even though I paid everything, which is confusing and prolongs the terrible experience. Please go elsewhere. What should have lasted only one day left me suffering for a week.

After this terrible experience, I learned their egg-storage price increased by $150 in just one year! This place is predatory and will extract every dollar from you. I tell all my friends not to go; please listen to the reviews. Billing is the only department that answers the phone.

Dr. Llarena, Melody, and their team provided outstanding support during my fertility treatment. Their accessibility and responsiveness, especially Melody's, were excellent. From our first meeting, it was clear that Dr. Llarena is very compassionate and highly knowledgeable in her specialty. After every ultrasound, she sat down, took a breath, and asked what questions we had—as though she had all the time in the world—then answered each one in detail. She is patient, kind, and intelligent. I referred a friend to her, and my friend loves her too! Finally, being able to have blood drawn quickly was especially wonderful. I will always be grateful to phlebotomists Abby and Hasmik, who always smiled at me when I was nervous.

I had an incredible experience at HRC Fertility in Pasadena and cannot recommend them highly enough! From day one, I felt welcomed and supported. The atmosphere was calm, warm, and reassuring, which matters greatly during such a personal journey.
Dr. Kolb and my nurse coordinator, Vikki, took time to explain every step of IVF and addressed all my questions patiently and clearly. Their expertise was evident, and I felt confident in their care. They tailored my treatment plan to ensure it matched my needs and goals.
Throughout the process, Vikki communicated well and kept me updated on progress and next steps, which I deeply appreciated. The supportive environment and staff professionalism made a potentially overwhelming experience much easier to navigate.
Thanks to Dr. Kolb and Vikki, I am now 4 months pregnant and doing well! I am sincerely grateful for their dedication and compassionate care. If you are considering fertility treatment, I strongly recommend this clinic, especially Dr. Kolb!

Josephine was equally excellent: organized, highly responsive, and genuinely kind. Together, they made the entire treatment process feel easy and even empowering. It is clear that both go above and beyond for their patients. I am deeply grateful for their guidance and support.

As a surrogate, my first embryo transfer was at Fertility & Surgical Associates of California in Thousand Oaks, and it was successful. They were highly professional, guided us through the process step by step, and explained how everything should proceed. This location is my new surrogacy clinic, and it falls far short of my first experience. If I could, I would have the intended parents change clinics and use the one I attended before. This experience was strange. They asked me to arrive early, but we waited in the lobby far beyond the scheduled transfer time. We thought they had forgotten me. The clinic was overcrowded and felt like an assembly line, as another reviewer described perfectly. The transfer itself was strange and somewhat uncomfortable. My assistant said nothing; she simply began pressing on my bladder in awkward silence, and Dr. Wilcox looked as though he was asleep. My husband and I did not feel good about the experience. The office is beautiful, but unprofessional. Overall, we were very dissatisfied. I underwent another transfer because the previous embryo did not implant. I will update this review with more details about the second transfer.
Update on the second attempt.
This time was definitely much better. I had a different nurse—thank goodness!—who was much nicer and more willing to explain the process. We came early this time, so Dr. Wilcox seemed more relaxed, outgoing, and talkative. Perhaps it is better to be an early patient than a late one. My embryo implanted this time, and I look forward to the new journey!
If you feel uncomfortable or have a poor experience, do not be afraid to report it. Tell the clinic. This is an extremely important and difficult process that you undergo with your own body, and you deserve a good outcome! You are essential to keeping the clinic running. Whatever type of patient you are, you deserve respect here and at every fertility clinic!

This review is long overdue. Watching my 15-month-old sleep reminds me how grateful we are to Dr. Molly Quinn and Josephine Lai, whose expertise and care guided every step of our fertility journey.\n\nMy journey with Dr. Quinn began in 2019 when we discussed my biological clock. Her warmth, meticulous care, and thoughtful guidance impressed me immediately. She reviewed my results carefully and supported egg freezing with clarity and empathy, never rushing or pressuring me. Our trust grew over time.\n\nAfter a natural pregnancy ended in miscarriage, we returned for IVF. Her skill and precise attention to detail were vital to our success. In the operating room, she showed calm confidence, technical excellence, and deep reproductive-medicine expertise.\n\nNo words or embrace can express our gratitude to Dr. Quinn for the gift of our son. We plan to return for our remaining embryos and feel reassured that they are in such exceptional, compassionate hands. HRC is fortunate to have her; she is truly one in a million.\n\nWe must also recognize the wonderful Josephine Lai. She was like an unexpected field of yellow sunflowers, bringing joy and positive energy to a difficult journey. Her enthusiasm and encouragement made every HRC visit hopeful.\n\nShe gave clear, thoughtful guidance without judgment or pressure. Talking with her felt like talking to an uplifting, grounded friend. Her personal care included sharing yellow Buddhist-style prayer beads and encouraging me to find my own symbol of strength. HRC is fortunate to have Josephine. Her care and encouragement were essential to our success, and I will always be grateful.

Our experience at HRC has been amazing. The staff they have there is top notch and I have to give a shout out to Vicky who was our nurse and like our case manager. She was on top of everything, explained everything to my wife and made sure she understood the assignment. Even when my wife was having difficulty during her first pregnancy, Vicky was always there quick to respond and or accomodate us into a quick appointment to calm our nerves. Dr Kolb is one of the best, takes his time and is very methodical in his approach and doesn't try a "cookie cutter' approach but an individualized approach because not everyone is the same. We've been surrounded by people that have gone to Dr. Kolb and his team, and it's all praise. Thank you HRC, Dr. Kolb , Vicky and the countless people at HRC that have given us our lil miracles.

Dr. Molly Quinn—a true miracle worker at HRC Fertility Pasadena
When I found Dr. Molly Quinn, my AMH was only 0.1—an extremely low ovarian reserve—and most doctors would have declined my case. Even knowing how challenging it was, Dr. Quinn did not give up hope for me. She respected my determination, guided me step by step, and applied her best medical judgment throughout. With her exceptional skill, we ultimately succeeded—it truly felt like a miracle.
I am 39 and one of two sisters; my older sister has never had children, so my family was counting on me. Dr. Quinn’s patience and expertise brought us joy and hope. The egg retrieval I feared most became the easiest part of the process—her gentle, precise technique made it completely painless and smooth. I had no pain, bleeding, or discomfort afterward. I am now preparing for my second cycle next month and am grateful to continue this journey with Dr. Quinn and her excellent nurse, Ms. Chen, who has always been patient and supportive. Dr. Quinn truly makes the impossible possible, and I will always be grateful for her compassion and skill. 🌸

My therapist encouraged me to write this review as part of my healing.
If I could give this clinic zero stars, I would. Avoid it at all costs. I previously posted an honest review, and they accused me of being a fake account… classic gaslighting intended to silence a patient rather than take responsibility.
Fifteen years ago, I was a patient of Dr. Nelson at Huntington Reproductive Center (HRC). He repeatedly canceled my IVF cycles and converted them to IUI without ever explaining the real reason. I later learned that I had diminished ovarian reserve, a diagnosis that was never clearly disclosed at the time. Those decisions cost me years, money, and emotional stability.
The entire process felt profit-driven rather than patient-centered. There was no transparency, compassion, or honesty.
Thankfully, I found another doctor who was candid about my condition and gave me real choices. I am now a mother… not because of HRC.
If you are seeking fertility treatment, go elsewhere. Do not waste valuable time in a system that treats patients like numbers rather than people.

She knows the IVF field inside and out, always clearly explains the best treatment options, and never made me feel that my questions were foolish or unimportant. Before meeting her, I had seen five different doctors, and I can confidently say that she is the one I trust completely.

I am very grateful to Dr. Molly Quinn and Josephine for making my IVF experience at HRC so positive.

She patiently answered all our questions—and we had many—and listened carefully to our concerns. She was kind and genuine throughout the process. We never felt rushed, and I always felt well cared for.
Josephine was wonderful to work with. She responded to emails very quickly, so I never had any problems with injections or treatment. She was always kind and made everything much easier.

This review is long overdue because I have been fortunate enough to experience the exhaustion and joy of new motherhood. I delayed writing because words truly cannot express my gratitude and affection for Dr. Kolb, his team, and everyone at HRC Fertility.
My husband and I had the privilege of working with Dr. Bradford Kolb and his team. I am a busy independent retail pharmacy owner, and my husband is an active-duty Air Force service member stationed overseas. Dr. Kolb, his nurse Vikki, and the rest of HRC Fertility gave me tremendous support. For more than a year, I experienced their warmth and empathy. Dr. Kolb and Vikki were always honest about risks, chances of success, and the plan most likely to give our family the best outcome. Although infertility was difficult, I am glad I approached it with an open mind and understood that having a child still depends on chance and a higher power. Still, I knew I had a dedicated team with a plan to improve our chances. From the moment I stepped out of the elevator, the front desk warmly greeted me by name and always smiled. The wonderful phlebotomists encouraged me during blood draws. At every visit, Vikki, Dr. Kolb, and his nurse Katy stood by me, encouraged me, and gave me the support I needed while going through the process alone during my husband's service. The financial team also offered me “options” at checkout. For more than a year, they made me feel like family, cared for, and as though my case, success, and happiness truly mattered. Even after I successfully graduated at 10 weeks, they welcomed me back to visit, and I plan to return once my baby is about four months old and has received most vaccinations. To anyone facing infertility, I understand how difficult the journey is. If you keep an open mind, you will find that working with Dr. Kolb's team and HRC Fertility can be an excellent experience. I wish I had more words to express my gratitude, especially for how they supported me at my lowest moments. I am profoundly grateful to them!

Special thanks also to my team coordinator, Gladys. She gave me tremendous care and comfort, always responded promptly to my questions, and offered many warm hugs that helped me through the physically and emotionally difficult stages of treatment. Dr. Lee, Gladys, and the PASLee care team helped me remain optimistic and realistic. Although the process was difficult, especially from cycle days 5-6 onward, knowing that Dr. Mabel Lee, my nurse coordinator, and the team would support and comfort me kept me going. Rachel, Cynthia, and Nanette were also very kind and patiently explained how to prepare the medications. I highly recommend Dr. Mabel Lee at HRC Fertility Pasadena and plan to stay in touch with her! :D Dr. Mabel Lee at HRC Fertility is an angel!

Terrible experience. Everyone, including the doctor, seemed like a money-making machine. The doctor spent less than 10 minutes with us, barely reviewed the medical history, asked a few rushed questions, and immediately moved on to promoting services. After the examination, the doctor disappeared. Sales and finance staff then arrived and directly recommended IUI, even though the doctor had said we could consider medication first. I do not know what they were thinking; perhaps they only wanted more money. This organization is extremely irresponsible! I wasted $300 and will definitely switch providers. Unless you do not mind being treated like a fool, stay away 🙄🙄🙄🙄

At 39, I will be honest: my physical condition is not ideal. Every month, I am reminded how fragile this process is and how easily hope can disappear. Yet every month, Dr. Quinn renews my hope through her exceptional skill and precise judgment.
Frankly, I am the kind of woman many clinics would view pessimistically. The process is long and slow, with a low chance of success. That is the reality of extremely diminished ovarian reserve. But Dr. Quinn never gave up on me.
From the beginning, she was honest. She told me this could be a long road, with low success rates and slow progress. But when I told her I wanted to persist and succeed no matter what, she supported me throughout. She did not dismiss me or make me feel that wanting to try was unrealistic.
Instead, she stayed with me throughout, supported me through every cycle, and did everything possible to help me achieve the best outcome. My situation is very specific: severely diminished ovarian reserve, a very fast-paced life, and a strong desire to have my own child someday.
If you freeze your eggs early by choice rather than necessity, I have no advice to offer. You are on the right path.
But if you are like me and did not realize that waiting until your late 30s to freeze your eggs would substantially reduce fertility, trust me: Dr. Quinn is the best choice in Los Angeles.

I was shocked to see another patient with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) rate Dr. Quinn so highly. My experience was terrible. Despite my being 38 and having had two miscarriages, she did not order an anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) blood test. We then wasted what may have been my final good months on a saline ultrasound and two months of procedures that could have been completed in one if properly planned. Later, when I responded poorly to medication, she reluctantly agreed to order blood tests. Did she adjust my treatment plan? Barely. When I failed to respond a second time, she told me I might consider donor eggs in a few years. She offered no other medication options and did not discuss the decision with me. I felt like a liability to their statistics and was abandoned.
HRC, however, was happy to hold my nearly $10,000 deposit for several months. After four months, I finally received a refund of about 90%. If you are over 35, I advise you to consider this clinic very carefully. Delays, a lack of individualized care, and inconsistent service may cost you far more than money.

Dr. McDaniel barely listened to me. Instead, she lectured me at length about how terrible and damaged my body was because of my condition. She then performed an invasive ultrasound and continued telling me how bad my body was. It was humiliating.
After the ultrasound, they put me alone in a room with a financial adviser, who yelled at me that my insurance would cover nothing.
Do not come here. They are not doctors but cold salespeople who only want your money.

Dr. Quinn,
I have been thinking about how to thank you. Honestly, this cycle was not merely clinical; it was creative.
When everything departed from the “expected” course—even without a menstrual period—you did not wait for the calendar. You interpreted the physiology, trusted your judgment, adjusted the protocol, and created a miracle when almost no hope remained. This ability to rely on insight rather than convention is rare.
Eight months ago, I could feel the uncertainty. Today, I see something entirely different: persistence, precision, and the determination to keep trying thoughtfully and strategically until a way forward emerged.
Obtaining two mature eggs under these circumstances feels like a small miracle 🩷, and I know it was not chance, but your expertise.
On a lighter note, I still think your surname is missing an “e,” because this was truly work fit for a queen.
Thank you for not giving up on the process or on me.
With heartfelt thanks,
Niloufar

My husband and I spent considerable time researching fertility clinics before choosing Dr. Molly Quinn at USC/HRC Pasadena. We reviewed Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) data, read countless reviews, and had several consultations, but after meeting Dr. Quinn, our decision was immediate.
Dr. Quinn is professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and practical. We especially appreciated her honesty and evidence-based approach. She never gave false hope, but respected our wishes and encouraged us to advocate for ourselves. She presented the facts, offered recommendations, and let us decide what was best for us. She was also highly responsible and responsive—most impressively, she personally performed my first egg retrieval during her weekend off.
We also loved working with her coordinator, Josephine. Fertility treatment can be stressful, and Josephine's kindness, responsiveness, and organization were invaluable. She always replied promptly, handled every detail, and gave us genuine reassurance throughout.
HRC is a large, busy clinic that can sometimes feel overwhelming, but we chose it because we valued its experience and expertise. From what I understand, experiences vary by physician. We are also very grateful to Maria in billing, who helped with insurance and encouraged us to submit claims we thought would not be covered, saving us a substantial amount.
Three years ago, we had a successful embryo transfer and now have a mischievous toddler. I returned to transfer our frozen embryo and am now 30 weeks pregnant. I delayed writing this review because I worried Dr. Quinn would receive too many requests, but now that our family is complete, I do not want to stand in anyone's way! We are incredibly grateful for the care and support and highly recommend Dr. Quinn and Josephine.

After a long fertility journey, I am profoundly grateful for the care Dr. McDaniel and the team provided. From the first consultation through IVF treatment and ultimately pregnancy, I consistently felt supported, cared for, and guided.
Dr. McDaniel patiently answered my questions, explained every step of treatment in detail, and developed a plan that gave me confidence and hope. The staff were professional, thoughtful, and responsive, making a potentially stressful fertility journey much easier.
Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I am now preparing to welcome my baby and will always be grateful. I highly recommend Dr. McDaniel to anyone experiencing infertility or considering fertility treatment. They truly changed my life and helped me achieve my dream of becoming a mother.

My wife and I recently worked with Dr. Coffler and his staff, and the experience was simply amazing. The process is difficult and demanding, especially if you have never undergone IVF, but we felt cared for from beginning to end and truly enjoyed our time there. Our coordinator Amy was especially helpful and patient, always taking time to answer our many questions and address our concerns. We are very grateful to Dr. Coffler, Amy, and the rest of the HRC staff for always providing excellent service. They are good people.

My husband and I first met Dr. Coffler in March 2024. We had previously visited other fertility centers without success. After reviewing my records, Dr. Coffler said, "You will have a baby this year." Fast-forward to September 2024, and thanks to Dr. Coffler, I am now 10 weeks pregnant. He was outstanding throughout a stressful process.
Amy was my IVF coordinator and was exceptional throughout. She gave me highly detailed instructions for every step and explained everything incredibly well. She was wonderful when I panicked once or twice during the two-week wait and had an amazing way of calming me. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Coffler, Amy, Ashley, my ultrasound technician, and the rest of the staff. Everyone was very kind.

I am currently 11 weeks pregnant, all thanks to Dr. Coffler and his staff. Amy and Ashley were wonderful and truly made my IVF journey stress-free. They were excellent at ensuring I knew what to expect after each procedure and made the many medications seem simple and manageable. I had to call the after-hours line twice and expected a later callback, but I was connected with Dr. Coffler quickly. This office is wonderful, and they truly care.

Our experience with HRC Fertility was extraordinary. After two IVF cycles and three embryo transfers, we are pleased to share our positive experience.
From the beginning, the HRC Fertility staff showed unwavering professionalism and empathy. Our initial consultation with Dr. Coffler was thorough, allowing us to understand every step and feel fully informed. Our concerns and questions were always answered patiently and clearly, greatly reducing our anxiety about the journey ahead. Amy, the lead coordinator and nurse, was always responsive, and I knew my many questions would receive prompt answers.
Throughout the IVF cycles, the medical team demonstrated outstanding expertise and dedication. They personalized our treatment plan to our needs and medical history, ensuring we felt supported at every stage. Procedures were performed precisely, and everyone's careful attention to detail reassured us.
One of the most notable aspects was the compassionate care from the nursing staff. They were not only highly capable but also empathetic and supportive, which made a major difference during a challenging, emotional process. Because of a military deployment, my husband could not be home for most of the process, but the staff, especially Amy and Ashley, made me feel incredibly supported and even cared for with affection, often stepping in to provide extra support when needed.
The clinic facilities are also modern, clean, and well equipped, creating a comfortable setting for treatment and recovery. The administrative team was efficient and organized, scheduling appointments promptly and keeping us informed of progress.
Most importantly, we are thrilled that our persistence and the clinic's expertise paid off. Thanks to the dedication of the entire HRC Fertility team and Dr. Coffler, we are now expecting our long-awaited joy. This outcome exceeded our hopes and dreams, and we will always be grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend HRC Fertility to anyone on a fertility journey. They combine advanced medical technology with compassionate care, ensuring each patient receives personalized attention and the best chance of success. Our experience changed our lives, and we are very grateful to Dr. Coffler for helping us achieve our dream of building a family.

The excellent HRC team made the entire IVF process smooth and flawless and kept us extremely comfortable! Dr. Coffler is genuine. Even when the news was difficult to hear, he supported us at every step, helping us feel comfortable and confident. He truly cared about us! Amy was wonderful and an excellent communicator who helped us throughout the process. She explained every step we needed to take and ensured we completely understood how to use the medications correctly. I could not have asked for anyone better to manage our case with such attention and care. Ashley was always available whenever we needed anything and was consistently understanding and helpful! I wish we did not have to graduate so we could continue receiving all our obstetric care here, but we will definitely return when we are ready for our second child ❤️ Thank you, HRC, for everything!!!!

My husband and I could not be happier with Dr. Coffler and his team! We feel honored to have met them and even more fortunate to have received their care. Our IVF coordinator, Amy, was highly knowledgeable and very helpful in ensuring we met all necessary Veterans Affairs (VA) requirements. It is clear that she loves her work and cares deeply about every one of Dr. Coffler's patients. She always patiently discussed our medications and how to use them. She called promptly with results, communicated exceptionally well, and was very candid. Dr. Coffler was attentive, honest, helpful, and always explained every procedural detail thoroughly. He gladly answered every question and made sure we understood each procedure and its outcome, good or bad. His bedside manner was excellent! Oh my goodness, 10/10!!! Most importantly, he genuinely cared about us!!! Ashley, Courtney, Caroline, Jessica, April, Sandy, and Aurora are all wonderful people. Whatever we needed, they did their best to provide it. They are knowledgeable and professional and always welcomed us with warm smiles. This journey was not easy. It took more than a year and included an unfortunate failed cycle, but the team stayed with us, cared for us, and made sure we could keep going. At the start of this journey, we prayed that God would help us find the right people. He delivered far beyond our expectations. If you are looking for a team that not only understands the challenges and pain of infertility, but also does everything possible to achieve results...this. is. the. one!!! ☝️ We were sad to leave them today, but happy to say our baby girl is finally here, and Eliyah certainly gained a few aunties! ❤️😂 Thank you so much for everything!!!

I had a very positive experience at HRC. Dr. Coffler is not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also kind and patient. He always took time to explain every step and put me at ease. The nurses and staff were equally outstanding, providing attentive care and support throughout the process. Special thanks to Amy for taking such excellent care of us throughout. I truly believe the process would have been much harder without everyone's support.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) can feel overwhelming, but this team genuinely made me feel cared for and confident. I am very grateful for their care and dedication, and I highly recommend HRC to anyone seeking fertility care.
