California IVF Fertility Center Sacramento – Reviews and Prices

California IVF is a great place to receive care. I want to preface this by saying anyone that goes through IVF expects their miracle baby but there are things that can’t be promised in any care. We had recently moved back to California and met with Dr. King and he was very informational and then we switched due to professional changes to Dr. Zeringue. Both physicians were phenomenal. Every clinic has their process and one of the most challenging in which we appreciate the clinic coordinators is managing the emotional stressors and anxiety of patients just like ours shout out to Aaron and Jennifer.

We want to say thank you for giving us hope for our miracle baby (positive pregnancy). We appreciate the care we received and wish you all future success in making more babies and families happy.

Now, 2 years after giving birth and 1 more on the way I have the need to share about our wonderful experience with this clinic!

Our OBGYN recommended this location and we followed her lead and made an appointment.
Scheduling was very easy and communications with Sutter was easy. the clinic helped us to save money by referring the test to our OBGYN through our health insurance.

Once we decided on IVF we had a great experience with Linda who was our lead nurse. She walked us through the process and made sure our feelings and concerns has a place.

Later we were signed for our coordinator Kassidy, she was above and beyond in order to manage the schedule without the need to miss work days.

Dr.Zeringue was very nice and always made sure we are comfortable by explaining us every step of the process.

Last but not least is the billing department and wonderful miss Stacy who was fighting our insurance company in order for us to get the full rights and above it.
Thank you all and I’m sorry if we missed someone.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! In 2021, I experienced medical negligence at the hands of Dr. Ernest Zeringue. He took advantage of my vulnerable state and only cared to make money from my situation. He convinced me I needed to go through IVF, which I was only interested in getting a fibroid removed. When I underwent IVF, they prescribed me the highest dosage of hormones they would for a patient (mind you, I am very petite), which caused lasting damage to my system and organs that I now have to deal with for the rest of my life! They disregarded my life and well being and only cared that I return the following month to do it all over again. Now thousands and thousands of dollars later, I’ve been working on healing and still recovering years later from this horrific experience. Please seek Northern California IVF if you’re looking into IVF treatment, but don’t come to this place. They’re only interested in their bottom line…money. I don’t ever wish this upon anyone else.

I’ve been meaning to share my experience with CA IVF for some time now, especially after discussing it with a friend who encouraged me to write this review to help them improve their approach in the future. Overall, the staff was decent, but that’s where the positives end for me.

During our first appointment, our main nurse, Linda, casually slipped in the conversation that she was married to the lead doctor overseeing the treatments, which felt unprofessional. I didn’t understand why it mattered.

In our next visit, she informed us that she would be out for a week to undergo a personal procedure—getting her tubes tied—because she doesn’t want anymore kids, during a session at an IVF clinic. It left me speechless. Again. I didn’t understand why it was relevant to tell us this.

Another point of concern arose when we were grappling with the expensive decision-making process regarding our treatment. Rather than providing supportive guidance, Nurse Linda chose to share a rather inappropriate anecdote about a past patient, referring to her as “lucky” because she had a “sugar daddy.”

On a positive note, Katie was wonderful, and the anesthesiologist had a great sense of humor. However, I would recommend seeking a clinic that prioritizes the emotional journey of its patients. I will remember nurse Linda, the Dr’s wife for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I will probably tell this story a couple more dozen times.

When I first came to CA IVF, I was guarded, I was angry, I was heartbroken and I was grieving. I had a “Been there/done that” attitude and quite frankly so devastated that here I was, once again, in an IVF clinic.

In January of 2024 we lost our second and final embryo from our first IVF cycle that took place out of state. My husband and I talked about the pros and cons of traveling out of state to a clinic and doctors we trusted. Our level of care and treatment with our first experience was a 10/10 so how could anything else compare?

When all factors were accounted for, we decided to meet with Dr. King for a consultation because it seemed like the logical choice versus traveling out of state to start from scratch. I’m sure we were not the easiest patients. After all, we were already experts on this process.

To make a long story short, I can safely say that trusting Dr. King was the best decision our family could have made. He reviewed my past medical records in depth and knew every detail of what was done during my prior treatment. He recommended several changes and was able to explain exactly why he felt as though it was appropriate. Whether it was from new research, or personal experience with patients, Dr. King was presented me with his expert opinion, and allowed me to decided what I felt would be best.

I faithfully followed every one of Dr. Kings recommendations, and ended up challenging nearly every statistic for a 40-year-old woman! My egg retrievals were 3 ½ years apart, yet my results were substantially better with the care and treatment I got through CA IVF.

Yesterday we got to hear the heartbeat of our little miracle baby. I know we still have a long road before we get to hold and love on this sweet baby, but we are here now, feeling blessed and so very hopeful because of you Dr. King. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Couldn’t be more thankful for Cal IVF & Dr. Zeringue! The staff & nurses were really amazing & were always there to reassure me whenever I needed it. Got pregnant in our first IVF cycle! Will forever be so grateful for this team 🤍

Please do not go to this fertility center. I am a veteran and the VA offered this location for a sooner appointment. My husband and I were working on our fertility for five years. at first everyone was nice. Orientation appointment was very informational and very promising.

The first appointment and the first round was unsuccessful. And we continue to go for another three rounds that were also unsuccessful. Towards the last appointment, the staff was very rude and employees on the phone would not be understanding of peoples time and energy for this experience. I personally felt like they used my insurance money and was not doing the work right.

I had set appointments, but when I would arrive to the facility, it was always running late. at one point I waited an hour and a half to be seen for five minute check up. I was very upset. I felt unvalued, and that was the turning point that I felt like this company only will use you for your money.

A year later, I went to Northern California fertility Center, and had a night and day difference in experience. Most of the staff understand what it takes to go through fertility process and have so much compassion. Later I learned that California IVF fertility Center was inseminating me with immature follicles. Northern California fertility Center was able to get us on the first try with the successful pregnancy. I am so happy to have my healthy baby girl.

This fertility center is a scam and will not respect your time and energy.

I was planning to leave a review at the very end of my journey, but after my transfer today, I didn’t want to wait. I am honestly very shocked at some of the negative reviews I’ve read. To be honest, it gave me a little pause when deciding to go with this clinic, but I’m so so happy we gave it a chance and went here.
This entire process has been so easy and smooth. They provide great educational classes that far exceed other nearby clinics, and I appreciate the depth of detail they provide.
Dr. King and his team have been absolutely amazing every step of the way. I can’t say enough good things about them. Even if this transfer doesn’t take, it wouldn’t change my opinion of him or the team. I am so happy with the care he has provided that I wish he could be my OB through the rest of our journey. I highly recommend him.

Update: my transfer worked first attempt! I’m so grateful for the staff and all the work they do.
