Spring Fertility - Danville, Hoa Kỳ

I was a new patient of Dr. Fisher, who was excellent, and was later assigned to Dr. Reddy. Communication was good at first but quickly deteriorated, with no response for weeks! Spring was my second fertility clinic. A clinic in Sacramento had found a polyp, but UC Davis later told me there was no polyp. When I went to Spring, Dr. Fisher immediately found it. I underwent polyp removal in April 2024 and paid over $5,000 out of pocket. Dr. Reddy was new at the time. After surgery, I felt completely ghosted. Although I expressed how urgently I wanted to become pregnant and told the nurse how frustrated I was by the delayed communication, I had to step away for my mental health, leaving me discouraged again. I am writing this review now because I am finally mentally ready to keep fighting for a child. After seeing similar experiences, I wish I had written this sooner. I have done my research and can confidently say that I believe my experience would have been very different if Dr. Fisher had remained in Danville.

Dr. Fisher and Spring Fertility, based on our experience at the Danville and Oakland locations, were amazing overall. They truly go above and beyond for their patients. I live 2 1/2 hours away without traffic and have no regrets about choosing Dr. Fisher and his team to guide us through IVF. We occasionally saw other providers, and they were wonderful as well. I would absolutely recommend Spring Fertility to anyone needing fertility treatment.

If you are struggling with fertility and seeking personalized, patient-centered care, I recommend looking elsewhere. I initially had a positive impression of this clinic, but that quickly changed. Communication felt impersonal, and most interactions were handled by patient navigators through the app rather than physicians. Note: I initially saw Dr. Fisher and later Dr. Reddy after Dr. Fisher moved to Portland. After being diagnosed with “unexplained infertility,” my husband and I underwent three unsuccessful IUIs, each performed by a nurse. Despite multiple signs of endometriosis, including a severely retroverted uterus and pain during ultrasounds, neither of my doctors at Spring considered it. Another clinic quickly diagnosed deep infiltrating endometriosis, which explained my infertility and required surgery. Spring charged $1204 for a routine saline ultrasound, which my insurance would not cover because Spring classified it as fertility “treatment” rather than “testing.” Combined with the lack of empathy and a correct diagnosis, this made my experience extremely frustrating and emotionally draining. My advice? Advocate for yourself, seek multiple opinions, and do not accept an “unexplained” diagnosis.

After trying for more than a year, we decided to pay out of pocket to see a fertility specialist and met with Dr. Fisher. We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility and decided to try intrauterine insemination (IUI). On the morning of our second IUI, my husband's sperm count was back to normal, so we decided to pause. Only then did I look back at his previous sperm count and discover it had also been low, but Spring never told us. They also did not tell me that a trigger shot could cause a positive test, or perform any blood tests to monitor progesterone after the IUI, even though I had all the symptoms of low progesterone. They also never mentioned endometriosis, despite my history of painful and heavy periods before birth control and unexplained gastrointestinal issues since adolescence. When I did my own research and eventually found an endometriosis specialist, they found extensive disease. After excision surgery, I conceived naturally twice. Although the first pregnancy sadly ended in miscarriage, I finally had hope. It is shameful that Spring did not investigate whether endometriosis was causing my infertility, as it is often a major cause. They took my money, performed procedures that were never going to work for me, and wasted my time.

I wish all doctors were like Dr. Reddy! I know fertility treatment is different and challenging for everyone, and I feel very fortunate to have had such a wonderful experience.

This clinic is great, and Dr. Reddy is wonderful. Unfortunately, I felt the clinic misled me. They assured me repeatedly that they would accept embryos previously created at another clinic. I even sent all my medical information to their lab before the consultation because this was my biggest concern. I spent thousands of dollars at this clinic, only to be told they could not accept my embryos. It was not worth trying to transfer embryos here. However, if you are starting from scratch, this clinic may still be a good option! Update: The clinic worked with me to resolve the financial issue. They also assured me that they are improving their tissue transfer process so this hopefully will not happen to anyone else!
