Recommended Nice Fertility Expert in San Francisco?

Dr. Sae Sohn. He has offices in Marin and I believe he is with one of the big hospitals in the City, too. He is an amazingly wonderful doctor!

I also ran into some very rude fertility doctors. Then I found Dr. Richard Rudd in the East Bay. He is very nice. I am now the mother of 3 children. Good luck!

I was very happy with Dr. Simon Henderson 17 years ago and was happy to see he is still in practice in San Francisco. I went to him privately and paid out of pocket; he gave me advice which I took back to my wonderful SF Kaiser ob/gyn, Dr, Yisroel (Ira) Sapan, and a few months later I was pregnant. Best of luck to you.

I personally know 2 women who were told they could NEVER get pregnant by their OB/Gyns, who went to my acupuncturist for about a year and ended up pregnant with NO fertility treatments. Her name is Miria Toveg, and she's at the Lotus Center on Valencia and 22nd. The number is ###-###-####. She also helped to successfully induce me into labor with my daughter. She has a way with women's issues, and is a true healer. I can't recommend her enough.

The VERY best fertility doc in the Bay Area (got me triplets at the age of 40!) with the BEST bedside manner (most of us that go to him end up with a major crush) is Dr. Zouves.....his website is: www.goivf.com. I'm sure that your friend will absolutely ADORE him (and get pregnant to boot!)

BTW - I also had a rude one to begin with (told me that my eggs were too old). Dr. Zouves told me that there was no reason that I couldn't get pregnant after looking at my file....and he was right! (tell your friend to also go to Dr. Angela Wu on Clement St. who specializes in fertility acupuncture).

I would highly recommend Dr. Marcelle Cedars at UCSF. She is top notch. I was referred to her and have since referred her to others. The only down side is that it takes a couple of months to get in to see her. But, highly recommend!

I go to Dr. Marcel Cedars at UCSF. She is a reproductive endocrinologist. I also had some unpleasant experiences with previous doctors, and found Dr. Cedars to be very intelligent, progressive, sensitive, and receptive of my questions/concerns. I had a beautiful baby boy as a result too! I have never heard a complaint about her, and have known many people who have used her as a doctor (and have become pregnant).
Good luck!

I would recommend seeing a good accupuncturist... I know lots of women who had difficulty and accupuncture helped them....

I have heard wonderful things about WU's Healing Center at 703 Clement St. (at 8th) in SF . The # is ###-###-####. She is an acupuncturist and has pictures of babies all over her walls.

Myself and a friend were just talking last night about this topic! We both saw a doctor Simon Henderson in SF on Laurel at California. He is very kind. I have to say that I only had problems with miscarriage so at that time he really didn't work with that. But, my friend loved him and found him very supportive and had 2 children despite her Polycystic ovaries.

I highly recommend Christine Friel, Licensed Acupuncturist, to support your friend in the process of receiving fertility treatments. Christine is very experienced in working with women who are trying to get pregnant, and she is a gentle, nurturing, skillful practitioner. I personally saw her during my own pregnancy, so I can give a glowing, first-hand testimonial. Christine's beautiful practice, Double Happiness Health, is located in Potrero Hill in San Francisco.

Research demonstrates that acupuncture significantly increases the success rate of fertility treatments. I hope your friend finds a great fertility expert, and perhaps acupuncture will play a role in helping fulfill her dream of becoming a mother.

dr phillip chenette at pacific fertility center was ours! we are now the proud moms of 14 month old twins!!!!

Hi A.,

There is a wonderful fertility doctor at California Pacific Medical Center named Katherine Hsiao. She is very down to earth, comforting and amazing.

Good luck to your friend!

I am a nutrition professional in the East Bay who works with fertility issues. And I have had some good success with the small population I have seen in 8 years.

My own personal experience with infertility has fueled my desire to help women support their overall well-being and health, something very often ignored, in advance of trying to conceive.

Another person who is offering some great classes to support women planning to conceive so they have healthy babies is Julie Matthews in SF.
