Marcelle I. Cedars

The fertilization technique was not discussed with me, and resulted in conventional IVF when I assumed ICSI would be performed. Love and trust Dr. Cedars and trust her clinical reasoning, but the lack of discussion about fertilization technique made the decision to do conventional feel like an omission (with significant financial, physical and personal consequences) rather than a deliberate decision. I would have advocated for ICSI had I known given lack of insurance coverage for future cycles and the desire to maximize fertilization rates.

I have so much respect for Dr Cedars, I'm so glad she's my doctor through all of this. My response is only specific to this one appointment. This specific FET left me feeling pretty uneasy. The transfer itself was difficult, which isn't anyone's fault obviously, but Dr Cedars described my cervix as "angry" and my fibroid as vascular without much explanation. I also was the one to remind I have a fibroid, I would have thought that would be evident and relevant In my patient history. In the moment, I didn't feel like I could really ask any questions, I was nervous and I wanted to let Dr Cedars focus. I wish I'd had a chance to chat with her after it was over about why it was so difficult, what happens next - I could tell she had to get to her next appointment, understandable since ours took much longer than anticipated.

I would like to thank Dr Cedars for all her care, patience and kindness during my treatments. Dr Cedars is an excellent doctor with strong responsibility for her patients, she also truly cares and empathizes with her patients.Dr Cedars is an expert and leader in her field. I feel very lucky to have her as my doctor, and receive such a high standard care from Dr Cedars' expertise and experiences. We really appreciate how efficient and skilled she was during my previous and current procedures. She was so compassionate and knowledgeable and gave us hope during our fertility journey. When I asked Dr Cedars any questions regarding my treatment, I always get great responses and feel well informed about my care. She has solved all my reproductive health and feminine health problems. We have already achieved a healthy baby through the treatment plan Dr Cedars made for us. We feel forever grateful to Dr. Cedars. She is truly the best doctor in reproductive health and anyone would be in great hands with her. Now we are going through a new treatment with Dr Cedars for baby No.2! THANK YOU Dr. Cedars!

Efficient but friendly enough. She didn't ask me any questions. I don't think she ever called me by my name but it was fine

I've ready recommended UCSF to two of my female friends. I'm pleased with my experience here

I think more follow up could have been provided. This is my second experience with egg retrieval so I was more well informed. But I think the portal messages for trigger information could be better presented in a document form. The RN can also follow up after priming started to kind of check in on the patient so provide more thorough care.

Dr. Cedars is a godsend. She provides superior care. Her entire team are wonderful, communicative and supportive.

I have had confusing and mixed results with some unanswered questions and difficulty reaching answers but overall I was happy with the care

We love Dr. Marcelle Cedars!!! She is so smart, well-informed, thorough, kind, a great communicator, and answers all our questions. We are so grateful she is our doctor.

She was amazing from beginning to end. Explained every step of what was going on and answered my questions with care and kindness

Dr. Cedars is both an excellent doctor and very kind and caring and empathetic.

Dr. Cedars provides exemplary care. She listens to patients, she is communicative, she spends time with you and truly cares for you not only from a health perspective but as a person. I wish all doctors were as thoughtful and took the same time and care with their patients. I feel truly lucky to have her as my doctor - she has helped me through a difficult time with fibroids and now helps ensure my reproductive and women's health are all in great order.

It was obvious that Dr. Cedars studied my past medical records in depth before seeing me. She Is the first RE who commented on my embryology reports from other clinics.

I asked for the clinic to do all options for improving the chances of my embryos in the last round of ivf, then in this appt, the doctor informed me there was one more thing we could try for the third round. I feel misled and like the clinic is just trying to get money out of me.

Dr cedars has been amazing. I really appreciate her help and quickly getting me in.

I only interacted with Dr. Cedars very briefly before, during, and after the procedure, but she was warm and kind, empathetic, and informative, and I felt safe and cared for.

Thank you Dr Cedars for the excellent care!

Dr. Cedars made me feel like I was in great care. She took the time to explain the procedure and asked if I had any questions.

She spent most of the time on the computer. I don't think she knows who I am and I feel like nothing but a dollar sign. Visit lasted less than 10 minutes and was totally useless.

Dr. Cedars was wonderful. She has a very reassuring presence and I appreciated her explaining every step to us.

I'm very satisfied with my experience! I felt listened to and taken care of at the highest level! Thank you!

The whole process was very streamlined and easy. Doctor Cedars was very communicative during the whole procedure that I was awake for and appreciated getting to watch in real time. She let me know what she was doing at every step and kept me informed. She is a fantastic practitioner.

Dr Cedars was awesome

Dr. Cedars is fantastic. Very personable, willing to listen, and engenders trust and confidence.

This appointment was scheduled couple months ago, none was available when I scheduled. They based on my test results to discuss my situation, I understand. But they didn't even want to do ultrasound for me based on my not accurate number, but I insisted to, so they did, but not very detailed.I didn't feel very confident about what they said. I'm sorry to say I don't feel worth for this time visit.
