I worked with RMA for initial screenings and cannot recommend them enough. Unfortunately I was not able to start/complete a cycle due to a cross-country move. The entire team is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional but they also make you feel truly cared for every step of the way. The level of communication and attention to detail exceeded my expectations, giving me confidence and peace of mind. Their promptness in delivering results and personalized approach made a world of difference. If you’re looking for a clinic that’s on top of everything and genuinely invested in your success, this is the place to go. The experience with the clinic I currently work with has been the complete opposite- I am even considering moving back to CA for a few months to complete the process with RMA.

The doctors and nurses (especially Tricia) are great. Unfortunately, the reception experience and their communication skills is 1-star. They dont greet you, or respond to a greeting. They never offered water before a blood draw. They are unfriendly and cold. I thought the receptions job was to smile and make you feel welcome? At the last visit they asked me for a picture ID, sending me back to my car to pick it up, although they never asked for it during the previous 10+ visits. It was not a policy change known to me or widely communicated or known, and they made sure to make me feel even more unwelcome.It seems that doctors think this is the right kind of patient reception experience after I shared my feedback, so dont think they want to improve their staff training.

I couldnt have asked for a better fertility clinic than RMA. Whether by phone, messaging app, or in person, staff members are professional, reliable, & helpful. My partner and I worked with Dr. Kort, who is amazing in every way--respectful, knowledgeable, & friendly. On several occasions, I was assisted by Dr. Kaser and Dr. Morin, who are also great doctors. Along the journey of exams, egg retrieval, and embryo implantations, my partner and I felt supported, well-informed, & set up for success.

Staff has consistently been fantastic. They were always responsive on Spruce, walked me step by step through procedures and the overwhelming amount of medications. They actively listened and took my concerns and questions seriously and allowed me to come in for non-routine checkups to help reassure me.

5 stars to Dr Kort and all the doctors, nurses, medical staff, and receptionists. Absolutely wonderful medical care. The medical team is so responsive and compassionate, and the customer service is the best. We did 2 retrievals and so far it looks like my transfer is sticking:). We are so so grateful for your help growing our family.Unfortunately, the Finance office was a different story. We were overcharged $12k. That could be understandable, insurance is confusing and math is hard. But they didn’t actually tell me they overcharged us until 4 months after our last retrieval when I requested my account summary for my taxes at the end of the year. How long would it have taken if I hadn’t asked?Then it was another 3 months (!!!) before we actually received the check.I did not appreciate giving the finance office an interest free $12k loan for 7 months.But again, medical team was A1!!

RMA set the bar HIGH. I dont think Ive received such quality care from any of my medical providers throughout my life. Dr. Alice Shapiro and her staff (specifically at the Palo Alto location) were fantastic. They are incredibly professional, detailed, and caring. Huge shout-out to everyone at RMA. I highly recommend starting your fertility journey with RMA.

***** PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING *****My experience at this fertility clinic was less than satisfactory. The staffs lack of professionalism and empathy left me feeling frustrated and unsupported throughout my journey.First and foremost, the staff members were consistently rude and seemingly uninterested in understanding my concerns and questions. It was disheartening to not receive the emotional support one would expect during such a sensitive and trying time.Another major issue I encountered was the complete lack of transparency and communication. At every step of the process, I felt like I was in the dark. I didnt receive the information I needed, and every stage felt like a surprise, leaving me anxious and uncertain about what to expect next.The most concerning incident was when I discovered a critical medication was missing from my treatment plan. It was alarming that the clinic failed to realize this omission, and I had to bring it to their attention myself. This oversight not only caused unnecessary delays but also undermined my confidence in their ability to provide safe and effective care.Overall, my experience with this fertility clinic was impaired by unprofessionalism, poor communication, and a lack of attention to detail. I hope that my feedback serves as an opportunity for improvement, as it is essential for such a sensitive and vital service to provide patients with the care and support they deserve.

A Miraculous Journey with RMA Fertility: Gratitude for Dr. Alice Shapiro and the StaffEmbarking on the journey of starting a family through assisted reproductive techniques is filled with hope, challenges, and emotional ups and downs. As a hopeful woman yearning to have my own baby, I experienced the rollercoaster of emotions firsthand. In early 2023, I initially began my fertility treatment at another IVF facility but found it financially burdensome. Fortunately, fate led me to RMA Fertility clinic in San Francisco and Palo Alto. where I discovered the compassionate care of Dr. Alice Shapiro and the dedicated staff. Their unwavering support and expertise helped turn my dream into a reality.The Encouraging Voice of Dr. Alice Shapiro. From my very first video consultation with Dr. Alice Shapiro, her genuine desire to assist hopeful women in building their families was evident. The warmth and empathy in her voice provided me with an instant sense of hope. During our interactions, she patiently explained all the available options, taking into consideration my concerns about the financial aspects of undergoing IVF treatment. It was Dr. Shapiro who suggested exploring the less expensive but still effective option of intrauterine insemination (IUI).Dr. Shapiros compassion and attentiveness went beyond what I expected from a fertility doctor. She listened intently to my fears, doubts, and worries, providing solace and reassurance. Her sincere dedication to her patients was reflected in every interaction, and her calm demeanor and angelic face instilled faith and trust in the process of assisted reproduction. Even after a failed first attempt, she encouraged me not to lose hope and to surrender my worries to her capable hands.A Prayer for a Miracle. Throughout the arduous journey of medications, ultrasounds, and treatments funded out of my own pocket, my body and mind underwent various changes and challenges. During my second insemination attempt, with only one vial of hope left, I fervently prayed to God for a miracle. I pleaded for this opportunity to fulfill my deepest desire – to become a mother. It was in this moment that I truly believed that if it was meant to be, it would happen.Miraculously, my prayers were answered. After my second insemination in October 2023, the news of my pregnancy arrived like a divine blessing. Now, at 17 weeks pregnant, I can confidently say that RMA Fertility and Dr. Alice Shapiro have given me the greatest gift of all – the gift of life. The path that seemed impossible due to financial constraints and life stresses suddenly transformed into a beautiful reality, thanks to their unwavering support and expertise.Heartfelt Gratitude to RMA Fertility, each and every staff member, and most especially to Dr. Alice Shapiro, I express my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for being there for me when I doubted myself and for holding my hand through the entire process. Thank you for genuinely caring and listening, even during moments when I lost faith due to financial burdens and the pressures of life. Your support and care have made an indelible impact on me, leaving me with a profound appreciation for this unforgettable experience.The journey to parenthood through assisted reproductive techniques can be filled with uncertainties, but it is the compassionate care and expertise of professionals like Dr. Alice Shapiro and the staff at RMA Fertility that provide hope and turn dreams into reality. My own story is testament to their commitment and dedication. May others who embark on a similar path find solace in knowing that miracles can happen, and with the right team by their side, their dreams of starting a family can come true.God bless us all! ❤️

RMA made our dreams of having children a reality for our family. We had so many bumps in the road over the years but that was because RMA had not been open yet! I was amongst the first patients when the clinic opened and we now have 2 beautiful and healthy children since.I would highly recommend this clinic if youre looking for cutting edge medicine, skilled doctors with compassion, and a wonderful staff that make sure youre supported throughout this journey.

I cant thank RMA enough! They made my egg retrieval smooth and seamless. They give you an app for secure messaging with your team anytime so I always felt supported.

Review №12

The administrative process at the RMA clinic is often unprofessional. We wait months to get an appointment with Dr. Kort and started the process with him. During the process, sometimes the doctor is changed without notice. Since that experience, Ive even gone to the clinic after specifying that I wanted to discuss with a particular doctor and ended up talking to an NP. And the NP did not diagnose correctly so we had a make-up call with Dr. Kort. My wife is a doctor, so I understand that sometimes doctors are busy and another doctor may come in for the session. But I dont understand why they dont give advance notice in those cases. Having to specify who you want to see at every appointment and having to question the hospitals administrative processes wears a person out. If you choose this clinic, please remember that you have to be very clear about your requirements at every session. Because even if you think your requirements are quite obvious, the hospital doesnt think so.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kort and his entire Staff. He turned my outlook around and made me feel like I can have the strength and positive outlook to continue my IVF journey. It was the biggest relief when I stepped into RMA.I was at a previous clinic and was shuffled around from Dr to Dr. It was a challenge logistically and took a lot more time and management on my end, which added to the stress of the IVF process. My time was limited and my questions were often left unanswered, which at times made me feel defeated. I am so lucky that all this changed, when we found RMA.Not to sound dramatic, but Dr. Kort was a savior. He takes the time to listen to every single question you have and answers your questions thoroughly and patiently. I never felt like he was rushed to get done with our appointment. I felt important and that we mattered to him. I never once felt defeated.Everyone on the staff was so incredibly kind and accommodating. They know you by name and you just know you are in good hands. That goes from simple blood draws, the daily ultrasounds to the retrievals and all the messages in between. Dr. Kort and Dr. Morin would check in just to see how you were feeling and that was so refreshing and really unexpected these days. But, you can come to expect that treatment with RMA.Dr. Kort and Dr. Morin were always reachable either by phone or via their message app. I was always confident they would get back to me and I would never have to worry about tracking them down. When I started a new medicine and had to give myself the shot for the first time Dr Kort offered to do a video call to walk me through it. I get emotional just thinking how supportive him and Dr. Morin have been during the entire process. Even the pharmacies they recommended were seamless and so easy to work with.The care and treatment I have received with Dr. Kort and RMA has been priceless. I cant recommend them enough.

I had struggled to get pregnant and had two previous miscarriages. Now, in my late 40”s I knew I had to turn to IVF. I had done some research and was very lucky to find Dr. Kort at RMA. He was very easy going, understanding and either he or his partner Dr. Morin were always available to reply to any questions as it’s a process. All the staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Kort helped me understand if there were any medical concerns with the donors and finally came the embryo transfer. I am now 30 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl! I know they have made it all possible and I highly recommend them. Thank you for for being there every step of the way. :)

Dr. Morin and all the RMA staff are amazing. Dr. Morin is super knowledgeable and always available whenever I need help or support.Dr. Morin is very responsive. No matter what time (evening or weekend) I send message to him through Spruce (mobile App. RMA uses for communication with patients), he will reply within one hour. Amazing!Appointment at RMA is very convenient and flexible. For routine check, I could simply stop by his office on my way to work.I highly recommend Dr. Morin and his team. You can rely on them and know they will be by your side whenever you need them.

RMA is the best clinic in the entire bay area that I visited. From the absolutly amazing Dr Kaser to all the staff. It feels more like stepping into a family room rather than to a doctor office. They are super professional, treat you like they would their friends and family and I couldnt feel in better hands. If I could I would give them 100 stars.

There are so many other better ranking IVF clinic in the bay area, if you can, try to avoid RMA. You will not feel you have a team here to care about you. There is no personalized care, and all standardized, all rely on your luck~~~
