Karine Chung's Online Review Report Card

I cannot say enough great things about Dr Chung. From our first consultation she was compassionate, kind, caring and with great bedside manner. She took the time to explain with detail and go over next steps. I couldnt have asked for a better IVF journey. Although it was a challenging time, she made the IVF process so much easier. I knew I was in good hands.  I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and eternally grateful to Dr Chung and the entire CFP team for their help in our journey to our baby.

My wife and had the great pleasure of working with Dr Chung at USC Fertility. She is very personable and had great patience going over the stressful process with us. She explained everything in great detail and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. She ended up moving to a clinic on the west side during our journey but our experience with her was absolutely fantastic. We highly recommend Dr Chung.

I went to Dr. Chung to freeze my eggs a year a half ago. It was one of the best decisions I made. She made sure I was educated about the process and understood every step of it. It went very well and I’m so grateful for her.

Dr. Karine Chung is an amazing and compassionate person.  We tried to get pregnant on our own for years without success and had a consultation with another fertility clinic in LA that was totally demoralizing.  I was told I would not be able to use my own eggs and would have to try with an egg donor.  It was unexpected news and I was crushed.  We made an appointment at California Fertility Partners with Dr. Chung for a second opinion, but we werent hopeful.  From the moment I met Dr. Chung I felt reassured.  Not only did she take he time to walk me through the entire process of how IVF works step by step in a way I could understand, she also took the time to really review my lab results and consider all the angles more carefully.  She did her own work up on me and interpreted my situation from a different perspective.  She essentially took the time to really understand our situation as unique and she was willing to take a chance on harvesting my own eggs.  I left that first appointment with a renewed positivity.  All throughout the process she was very hands on, compassionate, patient with questions and all around wonderful.  I cant say enough about how truly grateful we are to have found Dr. Chung.  Shes a gem and from start to finish we were treated with respect and encouragement.  Im now 39 weeks pregnant thanks to Dr. Chung and were so excited to meet our little girl.

I have never written a Yelp review before but I am completely compelled to do so because of how PHENOMENAL Dr. Chung is. I just finished my first time going through egg freezing and from the first consult through the postop discussion, I could not possibly imagine a better experience. My mom is a doctor too so shes always very aware of quality of care matched with effectiveness and Dr. Chung is truly the best across the board. She was so calm and kind which made me feel really at ease and there was never any alarmist communication at all. The staff at California Fertility Partners is a 5 star staff too from reception to the labs to the nurses (specifically Julianna who was AMAZING) to the operating room nurses and anesthesiologist (sweetest woman ever) and I felt so taken care of and comfortable. They made sure any pain at all (which luckily for me was minimal to none) was managed effectively and efficiently. And the communication with Dr. Chung during the entire process even through the postop has been above and beyond. Many of my friends have done egg freezing and the KEY difference with Dr. Chung + CFP is that you are getting dedicated care and attention from the doctor herself which means you arent just going in and getting the generic process of medicine that is typical. My specific journey was curated by Dr. Chung for maximal results (which it had!). Also, shes so cool and you can tell she loves her job/this whole process which made me so excited to really learn about my body and what was going on shes simply the best. Cannot recommend Dr. Chung enough!!!

Dr. Chung is hands down one of the best physicians I have ever had. We began our IVF journey last year and her demeanor made this whole process so much easier. She was knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate and very accessible over email for any questions or concerns we had. We had some challenges but she remained hopeful yet realistic every step of the way. We were fortunate to welcome our wonderful baby 4 months ago and we are so thankful for everything she did. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fertility doctor and would not hesitate to go to her again.

Dr. Karine Chung is hands down the best infertility doctor! I wish I could give 100 stars to Dr. Chung. My infertility struggles have been too extensive to detail, but suffice it to say that when I walked into Dr. Chungs office, I immediately felt secure in her wisdom, comfort, and compassion. After seeing several doctors before her, I can say without hesitation, that she is in a class by herself. My surrogate is now 14 weeks pregnant with my baby daughter. I would not have this baby if it wasnt for Dr. Chung. I would never see any other fertility doctor!

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Karine Chung. Dr. Chung exceeded my expectations from the very first consultation until my final follow up visit. Dr. Chung is intelligent, experienced, articulate and caring. She provided the personal touch we were looking for in a medical practice that I thought couldn't possibly exist in today's health care system.

I feel very lucky to be one of Dr. Chung's patients. I remember I was able to trust her from the very first meeting we had with her. She was always able to explain things to us so clearly. We begin the process last May and now, I'm 9 weeks pregnant . It probably wouldn't have taken us that long had I not needed a break in between. If you know about fertility treatment, you know that journey can have many ups and downs. There were times I felt so discouraged that I had thoughts of giving up, but Dr. Chung was always patient and supportive which helped me to continue on. She has a way of making things less overwhelming for me. If you are looking for a skillful, experienced, dedicated, and compassionate expert to help you start a family, you will not regret going with Dr. Chung. She's absolutely wonderful!

Dr.Chung was very knowledgeable but she seemed disconnected from my IVF cycle. Firstly, she failed to send images of my uterus to my OBGYN for a polypectomy- which meant that I could not have the polyp removed at that scheduled appointment. We had to reschedule the polypectomy. This pushed our IVF cycle back a month - and when you are older and trying to conceive- this is a big issue. She never apologized for the oversight.During our IVF cycle she went on vacation and a the day after my transfer - which was performed by another doctor - I noticed she was no longer on the roster of doctors on my clinic’s website. A little research and I found she had moved clinics without letting us know.She called to deliver the heartbreaking news that my pregnancy was biochemical - she then pitched is the new clinic but it seemed very inappropriate at that time. Not invested enough for me to recommend to anyone.
