I would like to sincerity thank American Reproduction Center’s team for my experience. I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant. The process for us was fast.
Stuff is very friendly.
I remember the day of transfer when Dr. Abdallah said it’s in, he was so happy about it and it make me feel so secured.
During the process of wait, any questions I had he definitely was there for me
Answering his phone and I really appreciate it. Also one of the things I really like its that they check on you every 2 weeks to make sure baby is growing okay and of course with me already losing a baby I felt like I really need it to know baby was okay often. I definitely recommend American Reproduction Center.
Once again Thank you for all you do
Dr. Abdallah, Ashely and team.
I don't know where to start so here goes. Mine and my husband's experience with ARC has been a good one we originally planned to go with a different clinic, but it was a four month wait for just the consultation and we looked to see if we could find a different clinic and it was first to pop up. We were able to schedule a consultation appointment online right away with Dr. Abdullah who is a very nice and knowledgeable reproductive endocrinologist who has a beautiful, warm and inviting office. We had originally wanted to do IUI with a donor since our complication is my husband's vasectomy he recommended that we do IVF as finding the donor for the IUI and etc. would have been the same price, but low success rate and my husband and I wanted the most for our Dollar so we went with what he recommended IVF. You can see Dr. Abdullah loves what he does he even had my husband chuckling when he could hear him outside the exam room we were waiting in getting hyped up to do a simple procedure I needed done before starting our IVF cycle. His staff is very nice as well and they always have a smile and never seem stressed and they explain everything well and answer any questions to the best of there ability he is lucky to hqve such a good staff. You can also text or call and they get back to you in a timely manner they even had me surprised sometimes by responding to a text as late as 11pm and or they would call the next morning. He was able to get my husband in contact with a urologist Dr. Spitz for a sperm extraction to be preformed on my husband who ironically was also recommended by a urologist my husband was seeing at Kaiser to get a possible reversal done at the time. Dr. Abdullah did very well on monitoring me closely to see how my follicles/eggs were developing and everything was kept on track. His surgery center is also very beautiful as well and is kept very clean you can see Dr. Abdullah is very proud of his facility. Dr. Abdullah was able to successfully take out 11 follicles and Dr. Spitz was also successful with my husband's sperm extraction. Out of 11 the facility was able to get 9 eggs fertilized, but out of those 9 only one embryo was of high quality. Unfortunately for me and my husband our only embryo which was going to be a girl did not pass genics testing as it had a missing and extra chromosome. As we are very sad that we basically lost our baby girl we are glad we did the genics test. Unfortunately right now we cannot afford to do another cycle right away. Now just because our journey was not a successful one doesn't mean yours will not be. I do recommend his facility and give ARC a 5 star as like I said our experience with the Doctor and his staff has been very good.

It was very nice to see Dr. Abdullah and his staff again after a year and a half. They are always nice and welcoming and professional. I will update again in September after my IVF cycle
Update 10/22/24
I know I was supposed to leave an update after my IVF cycle in September, but unfortunately life happens and my husband and I had other things medically to deal with. So we had to push it off a couple times. I was hoping to start IVF on the 18th, but unfortunately my estrogen was to high. So hopefully I can start in November. To be continued.

Totally forgot to put the update for my ivf cycle back in November. It went well. They got 15 eggs and two of those eggs took and now we have two blastocysts frozen. I have a diminished ovarian reserve so thats why we only have two. I will post an update in February after transfer.

Unfortunately our embryo did not stick. We will do our second transfer in June.
Staring at my absolutely perfect 7 month old Beautiful Baby Boy with such gratitude for Dr Abdullah and his team! They helped make our miracle finally happen after 14 years of infertility! My husband and I went through many procedures with different clinics with failed rounds prior to finding this amazing team! Forever grateful for them! Special shoutout to Courtney! She made my experience incredibly special, she truly cares loves what she does and it shows!
We only have good things to say about ARC team, Courtney and Ashley are AMAZING nurses. The cost of IVF is expensive, it is better to have a health insurance during the process. Do not hesitate to ask questions, even if you think they are stupid. It is really important to understand every step of the procedure and what your options are.
Navigating the IVF journey is challenging, and choosing the right clinic is crucial. Unfortunately, our experience with American Reproductive Center (ARC) has been deeply frustrating and disheartening.
During our first round of IVF, the clinic failed to perform the saline infusion sonogram (SIS), a procedure we paid for and was critical to the process. Without this, the first round was doomed from the start, and it ended in failure. Despite this oversight, we trusted the clinic to adjust the approach for the second round. However, the physician kept me on the same dosage of medication, even though there was no growth in the first round. It felt like our chances were sabotaged from the start.
When it became clear there was still no growth during the second round, the doctor brought up the option of using a donor, despite us clearly stating in our consultations that this was not an option for us. At that point, the doctor recommended not to complete the second round. Given the circumstances, we were entitled to a refund, as we had already paid $18,000 upfront.
We were informed of the refund dating back in January of this year, but as we approach September, we are still waiting. The financial manager, Evelyn, has been unresponsive to our numerous emails and phone calls, leaving us in limbo and deeply frustrated.
To anyone considering their IVF journey, please do thorough research before committing to a clinic. Our experience with ARC has been a nightmare, and we hope to spare others from the same fate. Your time, money, and emotions are invaluable—ensure you're in the best possible hands before proceeding.
