Reproductive Science Center in San Ramon, CA

"This review is based on our 2 IUI experience as an LGBT couple with RSC San Ramon with Dr Eisman and Case Nurse Leslie. 1. First red flag: To get started we had to do all the blood work (which cost almost 2k out of pocket). Our case nurse contacted us to tell us that my wife needs to go to her doctor for treatment because her Hepatitis C resulted positive. It made my wife and I all stressed out but when we looked over the results, we noticed that the result was for antibody and not antigen. Apparently the clinic ordered the wrong exam. Before telling someone they are sick, aren’t you supposed to double or triple check the results? How can both the nurse and doctor missed that when my wife and I with no medical degree caught that right away? We didnt make it a big deal but I wish we saw that as a sign of how our experience will be with them. 2. 1st IUI was just a sonogram and trigger shot and w/ no bloodwork. It failed, we accepted it. We are thinking we missed ovulation. So my wife and I decided that the next IUI we will track ovulation more. 3. Second IUI: We went for the 1st sonogram. The tech was new so she asked if she can do it with supervision of her manager. We said yes. She wasnt able to find the follicles so the manager had to do it which was fine. They said we had to come back again because the follicles were not big enough. We went back 3 days later to do another sonogram. This time the new tech was by herself so we thought she was signed off. She had a hard time finding the follicles again. The result she measured showed that we’re still not ready for IUI and come back 2-3 days later. We got home and compared the results we got from previous sonogram and noticed that the follicle measurement got smaller? We called our OB and she said that’s not possible for follicles to get smaller. We also tested ovulation that night and LH was starting to peak. We called RSC the next day to tell them our concerns because my wife feels like she’s ovulating sooner than what they are saying. Their response was they dont think she’s ovulating soon and didnt even address the results from the sonogram. We came back couple days later to do another sonogram. The same new tech was there again but this time with her supervisor. We were so confused because we thought she was supposed to be signed off. We told them we rather have her supervisor do it. The follicles got bigger by alot apparently but the doctor was not recommending IUI yet because the follicles are not big enough and wanted us to come back 3 days later. We insisted to do blood work because when we tested at home for LH that morning, the result shows LH was at peak. When the blood test came back the same day, they called us to let us know we need come back the following day for IUI because my wife’s LH was surging (shocker). We did come back the next day for the IUI. No surprise that it failed again. We truly feel like our experience was a waste of time and money. They dont look at results closely and they let inexperienced staff perform exams that are so critical for successful IUI. We never even met our doctor in person once. I don’t recommend for patients looking to do IUI."

"When you think of a life altering scenario, you never imagine "you may not have children naturally," to be one of them. We had gone through two miscarriages, and three failed IUI at another facility (that's where insurance covered). Both of my older sisters had success with Dr. Weckstein, so we decided to finance to see him specifically. When you meet someone who loves what they do, and you can feel it from their mannerisms, its comforting. From the very beginning, we knew he would help us. Medication, procedures, egg retrieval, sperm spinning, then IVF... Our daughter is two months old today. When I say she is perfect, I do not mean in the standard way a parent believes they are, but genetically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually... She is perfect. Without the assistance of Dr. Weckstein and his staff, we literally would not have our baby. Knowing someone cares as much as you do about the outcome, and does not just see you as finances, makes an extremely invasive scenario, more of a comforting guidance. In my family, including my daughter, Dr. Weckstein has provided a total of 6 children, and if thats not enough for you to see them, know both myself and my sisters attempted processes elsewhere before finding The Reproductive Science Center in San Ramon."

"What a Godsend this place is! My wife and I have been trying to conceive for sometime and decided to turn to reciprocal IVF. The entire staff was so unbelievably amazing. Our first transfer, unfortunately ended in a chemical, however, our second transfer resulted in the most beautiful baby that I’m currently holding in my arms. Even during our loss, they reached out continuously to check on me I would recommend this place to anyone with a desire to begin a family."

"The medical care from Dr Reid was amazing. Sadly the service from the support staff, billing department and case manager was terrible. Double billing, unexplained charges, phone calls from random providers asking for credit card details for charges that were not discussed, and a case manager that would never contact me to provide any information on results, upcoming schedules or charges. Left an unfortunate sour taste over the entire experience with RSC."

"My husband Michael and I had a great experience at Reproductive Science Center and would highly recommend their fertility clinic. The office is very nice and clean. The doctors and staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone works as a team. We had an egg retrieval in December of 2022 and had our first frozen embryo transfer in May of 2023. Our transfer worked and we are now pregnant with our first baby. We are very thankful to Dr. Weckstein and the entire RSC staff! We will definitely go back when we are ready to transfer our second embryo in the future. We will miss Dr. Weckstein as he begins his retirement, but we are confident that we will be in good hands no matter who our new doctor will be."
