Catherine Gordon's Online Review Report Card

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Dr. Gordon is one of the best doctors I have ever worked with! She is so knowledgeable, caring, and kind. The journey of infertility can be such a stressful and scary time but with Dr. Gordon and her amazing staff, we felt so taken care of. Even from the first consultation, we knew that she was a wonderful doctor. The education she has provided has been so helpful during this whole process. The early hour appointments offered at this office are great, especially when trying to make it to work after. The front office staff are very kind and responsive. My experience with all the testing and the IUI procedure were very positive, everything is explained thoroughly. Soon to be graduating and almost out of my first trimester now!

When I was referred to Fertility Center of Southern California (FCSC) I couldn't get seen by the fertility doctor to whom I was referred so I came into meeting Dr. Gordon with apprehension. However, from the initial consultation and onward I realized that Dr. Gordon was very knowledgeable & experienced in fertility care, explained things fully (in easy to understand terms) and that she was the right fit for me/us. Over the course of nearly the next year, we saw each other sometimes 1-5x a week. Despite a heavy patient load for the practice, Dr. Gordon never made me feel rushed or disregarded, and always took the time to explain my care, procedures, process and recommendations. She got to know me as a person and a patient. I am one that comes with ideas, research and questions....all of which Dr. Gordon invited and was supportive of. I am happily now 40 and pregnant! While my care has shifted back to my OB, Dr. Gordon keeps in touch, checking in along the way. Fertility treatments are up and down and very often filled with a lot of empty news. She always was honest but expressed genuine empathy. I felt we were in this together. On her IG (@catherinegordonmd) - you can get a sense of her temperament, warmth and ability to explain complex medicine in easy-to-understand ways. Her care for her patients is exceptional. Overall, my experience at FCSC overall was one I look back on fondly and with gratitude. Everyone here from doctors, to PAs to staff I was greeted with warmth, care had a positive experience with.

I cannot recommend Dr. Gordon enough! From our initial consultation with Dr. Gordon, we felt so much peace with our upcoming fertility journey. We knew we had made the right choice, and we had hope for the first time in a while. Dr. Gordon worked with us through every step of the way and never pushed us one way or another but would give us the statistics we needed and every bit of information possible to help make all our decisions. We ended up needing to do IVF and wow was she amazing throughout that entire process. Dr. Gordon would communicate all med protocols every night and was monitoring me so closely, I felt I was in the absolute best care possible. When Dr. Gordon called to give me the embryo stats, I could feel her joy for us radiating through the phone about our embryos. I am now sitting here 29 weeks pregnant with our sweet baby all thanks to Dr. Gordon. I feel so beyond blessed that we found such an incredible doctor (now friend) to help us grow our family. I genuinely cannot thank Dr. Gordon enough. I highly recommend her to anyone and will recommend her over and over again to friends, family and anyone who asks!!

I went here specifically for Dr. Gordon and she was incredible! It is so rare in this industry to find someone not only passionate, but kind, supportive, and who can perform quality care. Dr. Gordon is patient and takes her time with you, making you feel seen, heard, and valued. She has a heart of gold and truly is a gem in this industry. We came to her after months of unexplained secondary infertility. She made some recommendations and we were pregnant within the next cycle. I can't thank her enough for the compassion and quality care she provided. I have referred countless others to her, because I truly believe she is the gold standard for the fertility community.

If I could give Dr. Gordon more than 5 stars I absolutely would! I found her after two failed pregnancies without answers. I was feeling defeated, being told miscarriages are "normal" and nothing was wrong with me, though I knew my body and felt something was off. From my very first appointment she was on it. You can just feel her confidence and passion for what she does. It was an immediate peace- I felt understood, comfortable and most importantly that she truly cared to help me figure it out... and she did! I was diagnosed with PCOS (finally an answer to how I was feeling) and then came the solution. Two months later I was pregnant with a healthy baby girl who is now 14 months. Dr. Gordon is not only a blessing to me and my growing family but has also become a friend in the process. I'll forever be referring her to any and everyone who mentions a fertility issue or concern.

If you're looking for personalized fertility care, Dr. Gordon is who you should go to. I went to a different doctor before and it had a mechanical feel. You got in and out with the same protocol as everyone else. With Dr. Gordon and her extensive research background, we tried several different approaches specialized just for me. Happy to report back that I know have a beautiful baby boy. Her bedside manner is beyond excellent. She even gave me her personal cell so I could reach her anytime I needed to. No other doctor does this ever! The staff is also amazing! Prices for fertility treatment are also very reasonable.

Dr. Gordon is simply the best! When I first came to her, I'd experienced multiple miscarriages with no clear reason as to why they were happening. Dr. Gordon was empathetic, thorough, and compassionate in our work together -- she pinpointed the cause of my recurring miscarriages (endometritis) and helped me clear it up. When I got pregnant after this, she closely monitored me every week and I'm now 20-weeks pregnant with a healthy baby! She is the reason we are pregnant with this baby and I cannot recommend her enough.

We are beyond grateful for Dr. Gordon! She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and gave us much needed hope after a long struggle with fertility issues. It was very evident that she genuinely cares about each of her patients. The hardest part of our time together was graduating and saying goodbye, as she had become such an essential and loving presence in the struggles of our pregnancy journey. Couldn't recommend her more highly!

I'm so glad I found Dr. Gordon! She is caring, compassionate, and most importantly highly educated in fertility treatment. I took a leap of faith using her as my fertility doctor as she was new to the practice. Dr. Hatch had been recommended but was booked up for months. The staff recommended Dr. Gordon for earlier availability. I looked up Dr. Gordon's background and saw that she had recently completed her fellowship at Harvard and had several accolades from her residency at UCI. We booked a consult with her and we immediately clicked. She was not pushy about going straight to IVF like another doctor I interviewed. She gave us all of the stats backed up by reputable studies and let us make a decision. We immediately felt comfortable and chose IVF as we'd been trying for a year already and age is getting away with us. She did an amazing job of setting our expectations through the entire process, answered our many questions, and did all of it with very kind bedside manner. She communicated timely through texts each day about treatment doses and embryo status which was awesome and comforting. It's so nice to have that one on one contact instead of going through staff. And she truly cares! The staff is awesome too! The office manager even helped me get expedited shipping from the fertility pharmacy my insurance requires me to use when the pharmacy had messed up my order twice. The practice is all women too which is fantastic when you are showing your lady bits as often as you do during IVF treatments. They made all the routine blood draws pleasant...if you can ever call a blood draw pleasant. I was actually needle phobic before this experience. Not anymore! Our egg retrieval results were above the odds for my age and our first transfer worked! The entire IVF process was so much easier than expected and I think it's because of the great care I received. We are currently awaiting the arrival of our sweet little baby and I could not be more grateful for Dr. Gordon!
