Analyzed by (invitra staff).
Last Update: 06/03/2020

Description

Fertility Care of Orange County is located in Brea, California, and directed by Dr. Changnin T. Lee. According to information on the website, however, the procedures will be carried out in different locations depending on the treatment and technique.

Thus, office visits, blood tests, and ultrasound scans are performed in the North Orange County office. The IVF ovum-pick up, on the contrary, takes place at Newport Beach Surgery Center. Also, embryo transfers and the storage of cryopreserved eggs, sperm, and embryos are in the Ovation Fertility, a multi-center embryology network in Newport Beach.

However, all this information could not be verified by the inviTRA specialists.

Reviews

The reviews about Fertility Care of Orange County found on the internet are generally very positive. In the following section, we are going to list some of the comments on Google Business.

Simona, for example, describes Dr. Lee as knowledgeable, attentive, and honest and had a pleasant and successful experience. Heejin coincides with the statement and she was also able to get pregnant in the end. Another patient called Katie emphasizes, in particular, the fact that the doctor encouraged her to get a second opinion apart from him. She did not feel pressured to make a decision and in the end, stayed at this center.

However, there is also one negative comment from Valentina. She felt forgotten by the doctor as he never remembered her case nor had time for her. The doctor ordered medications worth $4,500 and then told her she wouldn't need half of them.

    1. Hello,
      I’m looking for a serious and transparent fertility clinic that isn’t just interested in your money but excels at a personal approach. My wife left with an unresolved trauma at her last clinic in which the staff wasn’t empathetic at all.

    2. Does this center offer surrogacy programs?

    3. I’m looking forward to my first appointment in this clinic.

    4. This clinic is extremely interesting, but I would like to have a look at other fertility centers, too… Which one can you recommend to me? I already had 2 IVF cycles and I will most probably need egg donation since my ovarian reserve is extremely low.

      • Hello Manolo,

        if your ovarian reserve is low and you already have two failed IVF cycles with your own eggs, you will most likely to have to resort to egg donation. This treatment has high success rates because quality eggs from young, healthy women are used.

        We from inviTRA also always recommend visiting at least two or three fertility centers before making a decision. Therefore, I suggest you have a look at our fertility report to obtain personalized advice from the clinics in your area of interest that fulfill our quality standards. You will also receive information on prices, services included, etc.

        Hope this helps,

        Best regards

    5. Hello, I am a 35-year-old woman and my husband is 50 years old, about 1 year and a half ago we had a baby through insemination and now we want another one, the thing is that his sperm count has dropped and we are told that we must undergo IVF. Please let me know the costs for both AI and IVF.
