    About our process

    Dr. Cedars is a pro who clearly lives her work and takes great pride in it. She's also personable and caring and considerate. Very happy with our experience even though it's a challenging process.

    I had a good experience. The doctor gave a good recommendation as to a prescription change. I won't know how well it works until after I make the change.

    I love CRH and the team we work with is great. I would highly recommend them to friends. I think I and others in my situation might benefit from a graphic with a road map of my overall process and a chart of who's who in the office and what their roles area. I know they have oroentations to people starting this journey and I never attended one so that'd probably help. The care team and coordinators for egg donors and surrogates are all on the email in the portal and are super responsive. I think just delineating who's who on the care team and what they do would be an added benefit.

I can tell she is extremely busy but she admirably manages wonderfully to give make patients feel heard and acknowledged . She is outstanding in knowledge and professionalism

    I felt like I had to ask for clarification a few times to fully understand but I got enough information about next steps before I left the office.

    We absolutely love Dr. Cedars. She is thoughtful caring and a good listener. My wife and I are so thankful for her and her care team.

    Well she told me that i will be contacted to do x y and z but no one contacted me to do any of those. i would like to refer the provider but health care is not only the doctor but a team that works with her so a good health care system is a good health care team. I really wanted to work with her but with this communication I am second guessing my decision.

    wish I received better post-appointment instructions for care (can I have sex? can I workout? should I stop taking meds now or later?)

    I've been very lucky to have had Dr. Cedars look after me over the last month. She's always been very professional while humble. She's listened to my concerns patiently and clarify all my questions in a very clear and simple way I could understand. Her confidence in what she does is very reassuring. She's been great.

    the only feedback i would provide in addition is that it would have been good to intro the other doctor there and why they were there.

    a lot of this emanates from the outcome when in the game of IVF. all of good if you leave the care with baby.. and the process of satisfying the patient is imperative every step of the way. I hope UCSF cares about its stats of improving odds for struggling couples.
