Wayne Lin's Online Review Report Card

We decided to go to Dr. Lin for one last IVF try in early 2020. We had already spent a fortune at another IVF clinic and been disappointed with the experience and results. Dr. Lin is a genius. He is also thoughtful, patient and affordable. But, most importantly he is truly an IVF mastermind. We opted for mini IVF and unlike our prior experience, the Dr. visits were few and short— with almost no wait time in his office for each appointment. We became pregnant right away with a euploid embryo and our perfect baby boy was born on January 26, 2021. We can’t thank Dr. Lin enough for his brilliant mind and taking his time to get our IVF protocol just right, resulting in our baby boy.

Just want to share with you some joy that have blessed our lives during this crazy times of a world pandemic. Taylor Van Ngo, our daughter was born on 6/8/20. There are no word to describe our happiness. It’s been a long journey and we finally made it . Thank you Dr. Lin amazing work & all that you have done for us. I really miss seeing you at our appointments. You are truly the kindest doctor I have ever worked with. What I love most vast Knowledge & compassions in guiding me thru this process. Your encouragement & positive out look is what keep me going. Thank you for telling me not to be discouraged & always hoping for the very best outcome . Now we have our 1st born daughter & my life is complete.

I sincerely wish to give Dr. Lin and FCOC more than 5 stars to show our appreciation for everything that they have done for us. Before seeing Dr. Lin, my husband and I had consultation with different specialists. Unfortunately none of which sit well with us. We were new to the world of infertility and ponder  whether insensitive bed side manner is just the norm. When I found Dr. Lin I called for an appointment, the wait time was 3 months, however, I later discover this three month was well worth the wait. Dr. Lin is incredibly smart and graduated from the most prestigious medical school. At the same time, he is compassionate, gentle, humble AND, assertive. He treats you like a family member more than a patient or a number. His clinic is well organized and all procedures and treatments were performed on-site by Dr. Lin himself (hope he doesn't overwork his right wrist). There are no bells and whistles at this clinic. Only a treatment plan that pertains and cater to your individual need according to your family plan. We liked most of his team members including the receptionist, all the nurses, anesthesiologist, and embryologist. Even the pharmacy that he worked with was great. FCOC have done everything in their ability to make this stressful event as stress-free as possible.As a patient, infertility is something that we have little to no control over. But I believe the more a patient can trust a physician, the smoother the treatment can go. There are lots of statistics out there, however, none of which could replace the relationship one can have with their physician. For us, we were blessed to have a doctor with an excellent success rate and personality, with fabulous staff located in a convenient place. We have no reservation in recommending Dr. Lin and FCOC. We were grateful to be able to be a patient at FCOC and wish everyone one that is seeking fertility treatment the best.

$100,000 down with 0 positive results.Worst mistake of my life was when i decided to consult Dr Wayne Lin @ HOPE IVF Irvine. I am in my early 30's and have wasted over 2 years with HOPE IVF.3 fresh IVF cycles, let me repeat 3 fresh IVF cycles and multiple IUI's at HOPE with no success, no diagnosis, no results, 0 compassion.Last visit after 3rd failed IVF, Dr. Lin told us that he will be happy to share the history with any other doctor we would like to consult.You could have told us that after 1st failed attempt or 2nd but no he waited to drain all the $$$$'s 100,000I can go on and on with minute details about how they played us. Other practice in Irvine do assure about unsuccessful IVF cycle. But not this practice. Same linear approach, stimulate on menopur and gonal f, retrieve and implant. They couldn't try anything different. results were terrible one cycle after the other but they kept doing same every cycle.We should have known better but I wanted to share what we have gone thru so others know about it.

We had 2 egg retrieval’s and 1 frozen embryo transfer with Dr. Lin. He was our 3rd fertility specialist that we had seen. He was by far the best. Having a lot of experience with doctors as a Nurse and as a patient, He truly has one of the best bedside manor I have seen. His communication skills and ability to make you feel so important and comfortable is a very special quality to have in a MD especially in this particular specialty. Our first consultation he spent 1.5 hours with us going over All our results and laying out all possible options. He is reasonably priced and I am so grateful I found him!

Excellent! He is very caring and detailed during the whole process. We are truly blessed to have him.

Dr Lin is the best of the best Dr.We meet Dr. Lin at the end of Nov. 2018, and start our fist IUI, and successfully get pregnant very soon in Jan.My husband and I feel very comfortable with Dr. Lin, he has the best bedside manner and the way he explain to us is very clear, and make us feel comfortable and make us feel we are the only patients. Especially every time when we go back to his office, he always review how we have been done and what's the next step before he start the procedure, that really makes the difference, so we love his a lot!Also Dr. Lin and his whole entire office staff are all very nice, so I highly recommend Dr. Lin.

Dr Lin's is the third clinic we went and how grateful and blessed we feel that we ended here. If I can give him & his staffs  100 stars, I would.Little background about our 5 year journey to get pregnant, I have known and pretty common conditions, plus old age factor. First OB referred me to clinic A in Riverside and this clinic is all about money & making sure you can afford their $$$. We ran right away after our first appointment. Our second OB referred us to clinic B in Newport Beach. First doctor was pricey but great and I got pregnant (ended in MC- yes, we were able to get pregnant, just couldn't keep the baby). But second doctor (since 1st doctor was on leave) only wanted to do $$$ IVF for my condition. Then OB referred us to Dr Lin.This is why Dr Lin office deserves 100 stars:- prompt, we never waited more than 10 min for our appointment. At one time I saw about 6 patients in waiting room (yes the office is busy/popular), but my appointment was still on time.- Dr Lin is very thorough and awesome bedside manner. Our first consultation was more than an hour, I am the type who loves to ask questions. He explained everything and answered all questions, even during our regular appointment.- nurse Tina color coded the medicine regiment chart and lab/appt schedule to make it super clear to patients. - nurse Katie and Dr Lin always returned my calls within hours (even on the weekends through their emergency line). Dr Lin personally called me for important results or check up.- they are not about money, they try to help you as much as they can. Jeri (super sweet office manager) always tried to verify with insurance to get the coverage we deserve. The nurse would help us to shop around/send prescription to different pharmacy to get cheapest medications. Dr Lin would try/suggest different options first before he even said the word IVF.- Dr Lin & staffs treat us like human being, with compassion, very friendly and understanding of our difficult roller coaster journey. They treat us like family, and gave also emotional support. Even after I graduated from his office (yes finally got sustainable pregnancy, thank you Dr Lin!), they still checked in with me from time to time to see how I'm doing. - last ultrasound with Dr Lin, he gave us the most memorable thing we ever seen. His ultrasound was able to capture video clip of our baby "dancing" at 10 week. I had shared that video with all family member when we announced the happy news.- Dr Lin personally wrote long, very detailed recommendation to the OB who will take care my delivery. Our family forever thankful for Dr Lin & staffs, to finally make our dream come true. If you've been struggling to get pregnant, you definitely need to check Dr Lin office. You won't regret, and you'll be thankful later.

This review is long over due.  Dr Wayne Lin, Jeri, Tina and the entire staff at Dr Lin office is amazing.  I knew from my initial consultation with Dr Lin that he was the doctor for us.  (Previously saw another fertility doctor and that doctor did not care in my opinion) Dr Lin is so kind, compassionate, and thorough when it comes to our treatment plan.  He walked us through step by step through each treatment and made sure we understood our options before we proceeded.  Every time I went in for my appointment Dr Lin reviewed what has been done and what to expect as we proceed.  I could not think of a better doctor or a better office to have helped us through our fertility difficulties. Dr Lin really examines your case and tries to tailor the treatment that is best suited for you.  He also takes the time to answer our concerns and questions.We are now proud parents of a beautiful baby and could not be more happy.  The lack of sleep is another issue in itself. :)I highly recommend Dr Lin and his entire office if you need help with fertility issues.  Thank you Dr Lin. You are wonderful.
