Reviews
The reviews on the internet are very positive about Northern California Medical Center. In the following section, we will show some of the comments made on Google Business.
Liz, for example, describes her experience as absolutely positive. She and her husband felt always well-informed and taken care of. Another patient Laura, on the other hand, was able to get pregnant thanks to the clinic. Marie also was struggling for many years before going to the Northern California Medical Center. She had 3 cycles with letrozole and ovidrel. The doctors ensured constant monitoring of her ovulation. She was finally able to get pregnant at the first intent.
However, there is also criticism. Michele complains lack of communication and organization since the staff forgot to charge her for her surrogate insemination visit. Later, they claimed she didn't sign paperwork for her eggs to be disposed of.

I’m interested in becoming an egg donor. Where do I get more information?
Hi Wallflower,
in order to become an egg donor you have to pass a psychological, genetic, and medical screening. Should you pass those tests, you will be accepted into the program and help a couple getting pregnant.
In so doing, you’ll get started with ovarian stimulation which will lead to the retrieval of your eggs who will eventually be used for the recipient woman in order to achieve a pregnancy. Read the whole process here: How do I become an egg donor?
Hope this helps,
Best regards
