Dr. Lori Arnold, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri

California Center for Reproductive Medicine was our partner in helping my wife and me achieve our dream of parenthood. What we could not accomplish naturally was addressed through skill and advanced medicine. I had positive interactions with the staff, especially Dr. Arnold, during the years we were in their care. They stayed with us until we succeeded—twice!

If I could leave more than five stars, I would. I first signed with CACRM in 2021 for my first surrogacy journey. It was wonderful, and I had the best experience I could imagine. I knew I wanted another journey, so I enrolled a second time. I love Dr. Arnold; you can clearly see how much she cares and that she excels at what she does. Surrogacy coordinator Ashley is another reason I was so happy to enroll for a second journey. She was wonderful to work with and always there when I needed her. Working with Marlena was also excellent ☺️ I could continue talking about how wonderful I think they are. Take my advice and look no further for all your reproductive needs. You will not be disappointed ❤️

Dr. Lori Arnold and the staff were very kind to my family and me. Her knowledge and warmth made the process comfortable, exciting, and smooth. If you truly want someone who cares and goes 100 steps beyond others, choose CACRM and Dr. Lori Arnold.

I am extremely grateful to Dr. Arnold and her team for helping me become the mother of a beautiful baby boy. She has an excellent professional team who always went the extra mile to help me realize my dream. I always felt very comfortable in their office, and everyone was friendly and helpful. The CACRM team is a highly dedicated group of women, and you can genuinely feel that they care about your health. I am very glad I chose to work with Dr. Arnold. She is knowledgeable, understanding, and very approachable. Special thanks to Maggie, Marlena, and Fei, who were extremely helpful. I will always be grateful for your support, encouragement, and kindness. Keep up the excellent work.

Dr. Arnold and all her staff are wonderful. Lou is friendly, professional, and caring. I love that you know everyone and everyone knows you; it feels great. This is my second time at CACRM, and I recommend it 100%.

CACRM guided us perfectly through the entire process from start to finish, including all communication with third parties. We are so grateful to have welcomed our daughter into our lives. None of this would have been possible without CACRM.

The best review I can give is that I have a perfect baby boy, now one year old, thanks to CACRM's outstanding work! They also matched us with the perfect surrogate, who did an amazing job...we still keep in touch today. I would use CACRM again and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering this journey. One of the best experiences of my life!

The lady who answered the phone was rude! If that’s how you answer patients then I want no part of it! Learn better phone etiquette!

Dr. Mor is amazing! I researched doctors throughout the United States, and according to SART data, he had the highest live-birth success rate! We searched nationwide and saw doctors said to be the best, without success. With Dr. Mor's help, however, we now have a beautiful baby! He is truly outstanding, the best of the best!

This clinic is amazing. I was fortunate to learn about it through one of their surrogates. We began the surrogacy process and had two successful surrogacy journeys. My family would not be what it is today without Dr. Arnold and the team.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience as a surrogate with CACRM was extremely disappointing and stressful. From the beginning, their communication and follow-up fell far below what any surrogate should receive, especially when entrusting something so important to a clinic. Their employee Ashley repeatedly mishandled matters despite clear written communication and agreements. Fortunately, I kept every message, because many of our discussions were later ignored or contradicted. My reimbursement checks were ‘lost’ in the mail four times. Contractual payments were late more than once, including one that was over thirty days past the contractual deadline and was sent only after I followed up. They told me I would receive it in the next payment cycle, which I firmly refused. I repeatedly asked to speak directly with Dr. Arnold about my concerns, but on at least two occasions staff told me that ‘she does not handle these matters.’ I later learned that my requests to speak with her had never been passed along, leaving me feeling dismissed and unheard. I also complained to the clinic about Ashley several times. They always said they would address it, but nothing changed. Once, after traveling all day and arriving late at night, I discovered that the hotel room the clinic had promised to reimburse had not been paid for. At 10 p.m., I had to pay more than $500 out of pocket just to have somewhere to stay. The health insurance was also mishandled. Now, four months after the baby’s birth, I am still trying to get the clinic and its supposed ‘emergency insurance’ to address more than $36,000 in hospital bills that should have been handled properly from the beginning. No surrogate should experience this level of negligence and stress. I hope sharing my experience leads to greater oversight and accountability so future surrogates receive the professionalism and respect they deserve.

I was deeply disappointed by my experience with this surrogacy clinic. What should have been a caring and supportive process became stressful, frustrating, and discouraging. From the beginning, communication was poor, inconsistent, and often dismissive. During an already emotional time, I often felt unheard and left uninformed. Most upsetting was that after I clearly decided not to continue with the clinic, despite never signing a contract, they still sent me a bill. Receiving a bill without a signed agreement felt highly inappropriate and made me extremely angry. It added unnecessary financial stress and made the process feel transactional and unethical rather than supportive. The clinic lacked transparency, failed to meet expectations, showed little concern for the emotional and financial impact on intended parents, did not take the surrogate's emotional trauma seriously, and provided very poor follow-up. Surrogacy is a life-changing decision that requires trust, professionalism, and empathy. Unfortunately, this clinic fell far short in all three areas. I strongly advise anyone considering this clinic to proceed cautiously, ask detailed questions, and ensure everything is clearly documented before moving forward.

I am incredibly grateful to this fertility center, CaCRM, for guiding me through the entire process of becoming a surrogate for intended parents. Their professionalism, compassion, and support throughout the process were invaluable. Every step was handled thoughtfully, with clear communication. My main contact, Monica, was especially outstanding. She was responsive and highly supportive, always patiently answering my questions and ensuring I felt comfortable and reassured at every stage. Her guidance made a complex process feel smooth and positive. I highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Arnold to anyone seeking professional fertility care from a caring and supportive team.

I contacted this organization through a colleague in March 2025. That was when I met Monica, who began working with me as her first patient/client. She guided me carefully throughout the process and made me feel very comfortable. All the staff were wonderful, warm, considerate, and caring toward patients. I highly recommend Monica and this clinic for all your IVF and surrogacy needs.

CACRM provided exemplary care throughout our surrogacy journey. Everything went very smoothly, and we succeeded on the first attempt. Ms. Evelyn speaks French fluently and has a deep understanding of our culture. She guided us with tact and precision. Dr. Arnold was also clear and concise in his communication. We highly recommend them.

‘The child is born!’ Our relatives overseas and their families had waited ten years to hear those four simple words. No words could capture the joy, excitement, smiles, relief, and happiness of experiencing and witnessing the baby's birth from the delivery room. It was all thanks to Dr. Arnold and her amazing team, who made a once-unreachable dream come true! Our relatives overseas had spent ten long, determined years trying to have a baby. They tried numerous treatments and medications, visited many doctors and hospitals, and endured a heartbreaking miscarriage. In January 2025, they came to visit us. With their permission, we adjusted their travel plans to visit several fertility clinics in our area. During our inquiries and visits, one clinic raised its price after our initial meeting, while another tested our relatives but never provided results or any follow-up. When we introduced them to Dr. Arnold, she and her office staff welcomed them with open arms, warm smiles, and a solid plan to help them achieve their dream of having a baby. After ten years of hope, disappointment, and struggle, and knowing that Dr. Arnold had more than 25 years of reproductive medicine experience and success, our relatives decided to try treatment under her supervision. From that day forward, Dr. Arnold and her team provided and carefully monitored a systematic, detailed plan. Our relatives were enthusiastic, fully engaged, and followed it closely. Step by step, one medication, mock cycle, and test after another, the miracle began to happen. The pregnancy progressed successfully month after month, and the baby grew healthy and strong in the womb! We are so happy and grateful to Dr. Arnold and her team, who gave clear, precise instructions and answered our questions promptly and patiently throughout the process. They were wonderful to work with and incredibly helpful and supportive along the way! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Dr. Arnold and your wonderful team! You made the impossible possible! You are angels!

Clear and efficient, and everything worked on the first attempt. We traveled from France to California to fulfill our dream of becoming parents with Dr. Arnold. We are now happy parents!

We will always be grateful to Dr. Arnold and her outstanding, genuinely caring team! Our experience was exceptional from day one. Before finding Dr. Arnold, we spent about two unsuccessful years with another doctor. We are now nine weeks pregnant! Dr. Arnold is honest, hands-on, highly intelligent, and direct. Her team is very welcoming and made our family-building journey feel special in a way our previous doctor did not. We loved working with Marlena, our IVF coordinator. We highly recommend Dr. Arnold for any infertility needs.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Arnold and her team! After three long, difficult years of fertility issues, I was referred to Dr. Arnold and became pregnant five months later! Our daughter will soon turn three. She is our pride and joy. I believe we would not have her without Dr. Arnold's help! I highly recommend Dr. Arnold!

Dr. Lori Arnold, Marlena, and the entire staff are very clean and knowledgeable.

I always felt that choosing Dr. Arnold's office was a good decision. I evaluated three other infertility clinics but did not want to attend any of them. Infertility treatment is extremely expensive and a major investment. I wanted to entrust my care to a doctor who wanted me to succeed, not one who wanted my money or cared mainly about success statistics. I considered Kaiser, Reproductive Partners, and an independent clinician at another fertility chain, but they did not feel right. Finally, I asked a colleague where he and his wife had gone. Dr. Arnold had helped them have twins ten years earlier and still remembered them! My colleague introduced me and said his wife had researched extensively before choosing Dr. Arnold. I understand why. Dr. Arnold works independently, so she answers only to her patients, not a corporation or shareholders. She does not belong to a clinical group with rigid protocols or guidelines. She evaluates each patient individually and decides what is best for that person. I work in healthcare and can tell you that two factors support a medical procedure's success: the doctor's experience and personal involvement. Dr. Arnold is extremely hands-on and does not delegate tasks. She personally reviews every laboratory and ultrasound result and makes patient-specific decisions. Unlike other clinics, she has no age limit. If you have potential, she will work with you. For these reasons, her success rate is very high. Dr. Arnold once told me that more than 90% of her patients become pregnant, and I believe it because I am one of them. Unlike clinics focused on money, her office may actually help you save. At my first consultation, the secretary told me insurance might reimburse me; I had not known. The IVF coordinator sometimes gave me donated extra medication so I would not need to buy a whole package for one extra dose. She has a small, highly dedicated staff who respect her greatly. One nurse said she had worked at almost every fertility clinic in the city and stayed with Dr. Arnold because she believed Dr. Arnold was more honest and ethical with patients. Nothing about this woman is impersonal. When you arrive, they know your name, and you become part of their office family just as they become part of yours. I thank my lucky stars that I found her, and we look forward to our own child's arrival.

Dr. Arnold is a wonderful doctor. I love her and am very grateful for her help. I spoke with several other IVF specialists, but none compared with Dr. Arnold. As her patient, you can be confident that an excellent team will stand behind you and do its best to help you become a parent. Thank you so much, Dr. Arnold!
