      Of all the fertility options in the Bay Area, UCSF is the only one that I found that would conduct an in person exam and conversation with the doctor. I feel like this was invaluable. Dr. Rinaudo was extremely thorough and very kind. I felt very lucky to have had the benefit of his time.

      We really appreciated the doctor's confidence and clarity throughout the procedure. His calm presence helped set the tone for the entire experience, and it was especially reassuring when he let us know that he had a clear view of the pathway he needed for the transfer. That level of communication and steady focus gave us a lot of peace of mind in such an important moment.
