RMA Southern California – Mission Viejo, CA

My husband and I are beyond grateful to Dr. Ghazal and the entire team at RISE as I write this at 24 weeks pregnant. Navigating infertility is an incredibly difficult journey—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Having a team that leads with compassion and empathy made all the difference for us. From our very first consultation to every appointment along the way (& there's a lot of them when going through IVF) I always felt informed, supported, and truly heard. We’re so thankful to RISE for helping make our dream of starting a family a reality. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts!!

I can’t imagine going through this process with anyone other than Dr. Ghazal and the Rise team. From our first consultation to our graduation, they were kind, compassionate, attentive and reliable. Through the good days and bad, we completely entrusted them with every single decision. Every decision Dr. Ghazal made was the right one for us. Every email I had was answered within a few hours, every call I made was answered immediately, and every result was available in what felt like record time. We never felt like “just a number” at the Rise practice. We simply cannot recommend them enough!

I recently emailed my nurse at RISE to compare graduating from RISE and going to my OB as a break up and poor first date! The care at RISE incomparable to anything I’ve received before and I’m so grateful to have been under their care for IVF, genetic testing protocols, and embryo transfer. Dr. Ghazal is not only experienced and knowledgeable, but she is kind, genuine, and truly cares about her patients as future parents. We trusted every decision and mid cycle adjustment knowing she was carefully monitoring our cycle for success. Our nurse coordinator, Laura, was by the far the most helpful, supportive, and understanding nurse I could have ever asked for- she knew what we needed long before I did- every time. She never hesitated to quickly answer my silly questions and was available to support in all ways- injections, advice, and as the ultimate cheerleader during procedures. I can really say I don’t know how I would have survived it all without her and wish we could stick her in our pockets for the rest of this journey! We were fully supported by the entire team at RISE during our early morning appointments and both Heidi and Krystal were also incredible in treating us like their own. They stayed positive when I couldn’t be and really made me feel welcome. I could (clearly) go on and on but if you’re considering RISE- look no further. Anyone would be lucky to be their patient! ❤️

Today we graduated from Rise Fertility, what does this mean? Hundreds of injections, a successful egg retrieval, successful embryo implantation but above all else we will have a baby girl in our Family because of this beautiful team of Angels! When we felt discouraged they lifted us up, when we felt hopeless they gave us joy. You can go to all the clinics in the OC but there is no place like Rise and their team has become our family. We are grateful and pray for future success of every family that desperately wants a baby! It was all worth it! Thank you Dr. Ghazal, Heidi, Krystal, Angie, Laura & Taylor we couldn’t have done this without you on our team! We love you all!
