Dr. Shamonki is so kind and patient. Personally gave me a call about my test results and always took the time to explain everything and my options in detail. Everyone in the office was always so welcoming and never made me feel rushed. Huge thanks to all the nurses & LaKeisha as well!Fertility clinic

My husband and I did a carrier screening while there and was told the maximum price would be $500 per person but likely less. A few weeks later we receive bills for over $900 per person. Then we were told we would not pay out of pocket for the initial consultation yet we received bills in the mail and every time I call the billing department back I can't get any explanation, just pay it or they send me to collections. Not only that, there is no payment portal so they want a check sent in the mail. Last but certainly not least, after the appointment we were told to create our online accounts and upload all the testing we had already had done (we were already with a different fertility clinic but it is located far away so we wanted to transfer care). I had a few questions during this process + wondering where my test results were but was unable tor each anyone at the front desk for weeks. Obviously we decided to move forward with a different office, I can't imagine having to deal with this chaos when going through fertility treatments.I recently visited Fertility & Surgical twice and had a wonderful experience.

Dr. Mehr and the entire staff are truly amazing to work with. They made me feel at ease and well cared for throughout the process. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone ready to explore fertility options and begin their family planning journey. It's really nice to have a sonogram, blood & urine test onsite and getting it done right away.We are so grateful that we found Dr. Shamonki and the entire group at Fertility and Surgical Associates. They were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, patient, and responsive.…We are so grateful that we found Dr. Shamonki and the entire group at Fertility and Surgical Associates. They were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, patient, and responsive. We have shared stories with friends who have gone through similar fertility processes, and Dr. Shamonki and his team go so above and beyond. Dr. Shamonki made us feel at ease and always in great hands. Lakeisha is caring and warm and made us smile every appointment. Megan is so thoughtful and responsive and made herself available to help with questions at any time of day. Katelynn is knowledgeable and kind, and she created such organization around our processes. We also saw Dr. Mehr a few times, and she is equally fantastic. She’s smart, funny and great at explaining concepts. This whole office is so special and we could not recommend them more.First I would like to say that we were referred to Dr. Shamonki by a friend who had a very positive experience (read: a baby!).

After having a rather frustrating time at another practice, it was such a breath of fresh air once we continued our fertility journey with Dr. Shamonki and the team. At every step along the way, we felt that we were in good hands. It is clear that Dr. Shamonki cares passionately about giving his patients the best possible chances for a good result. Through every up and down, Dr. Shamonki and his team handled everything with great sensitivity and understanding. We just cannot say enough good things about him. He is a blessing, and we have a baby on the way! I wanted to also specifically mention a member of the front-office team, LaKeisha. LaKeisha was so kind to us, so supportive. During the tough moments, the moments of anxiousness, she was always there with exactly the right words of support to help us keep going. We highly recommend Dr. Shamonki and the entire practice at Fertility & Surgical Associates Of California.The doctors and staff of Fertility & Surgical Associates are simply the best in the business.

They helped my wife and me with our child, and the experience was amazing. My wife was so much of a fan of FSACs, she went to work for them! If you are looking into fertility treatments, regardless of your situation, I urge you to call FSAC. Good luck!Who you would meet
