While some staff members and external providers were excellent, the overall experience at the clinic felt disorganized and inconsistent. There were multiple instances where important procedural information was either not communicated or communicated too late - including preparation requirements for the HSG procedure, which resulted in an unnecessary one-month delay. There were also inconsistencies in testing protocols and situations where prior imaging/history did not appear to be reviewed before appointments. The most concerning experience occurred during an attempted saline sonogram (SIS), where the procedure could not be completed after multiple unsuccessful attempts. During the appointment, comments were repeatedly made suggesting I was uncomfortable or did not want to continue, despite my clearly indicating that I was willing to proceed. The appointment was then paused, and I later learned the physician had returned to the operating room before the procedure was resolved or properly discussed. We ultimately left the clinic without speaking further with the physician, receiving guidance on next steps, or discussing rescheduling options. There was also no follow-up communication afterward regarding the incomplete procedure. Overall, the experience left the impression that patient concerns and continuity of care were not being prioritized. Dr. LeBlanc came across as dismissive and lacking in bedside manner, and the interactions did not feel supportive, attentive, or patient-centered during what is already a highly stressful and emotional process. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this clinic.Fertility clinic

His analytical approach meant he was able to understand why we’d been unsuccessful before, and he took an incredibly tailored & thoughtful approach for my protocol. He was always honest with us and we even cancelled a few cycles to make sure we went through the retrieval when things were the most optimal. I cannot recommend Hanabusa and Dr Chang enough - I never felt like just another rushed patient (like I did with so many other drs). Highly recommendI cannot say enough wonderful things about Hanabusa IVF and the incredible care I received there.

After being told by a previous doctor that I had poor egg quality and would need to consider egg donation or adoption, my partner and I felt devastated; but we decided to seek a second opinion from Dr. Le Blanc. Dr. Le Blanc was my primary physician and Dr. Chang performed some of my procedures, as well. Both doctors were meticulous, thoughtful, and deeply committed to my care. Dr. Le Blanc identified several ways to improve our chances of success. Thanks to their expertise and the amazing team at Hanabusa, I am now the proud mother of a beautiful, healthy, and strong baby girl. We truly would not have been able to start our family without Hanabusa IVF. We are so grateful.Almost a year after going through IVF I can confidently share my experience.

I did lots of research and being my first time going through this I really looked for a place that would guide us in this unknown path. All I read about on their site and speaking to them told a story that as a smaller clinic the treatment mentally and physically was personalized. So we chose them over bigger more reputable clinics. At the beginning the process was great. Communication was consistent and any questions I had they answered. They billed within minutes of services. They were on top of it during for sure. In the whole process I saw the doc 2 times during treatment counting surgery day. I was a bit surprised about this but I trusted the process. Once we got our retrieval results, there was zero instruction or interpretation of the results besides a generic chart of where our embryos charted/graded, we had to interpret. Immediately after it was a rushed process to pay for genetic testing for a few which is very high ticket. So we tested what WE thought was best. After retrieval it was ghost town once we paid for genetic testing. I had to reach out constantly with “well now what?”. We went in trusting they are the professionals and guide us to the end. We never saw doc again to go over results or the what’s next steps. Towards the end we felt discouraged and disappointed. There was zero guidance and so many questions. Last I reached out was “if you have any questions make an appointment with doctor” an appointment to go over results we already paid for? Felt greedy. Let’s just say we didn’t go through with anything else. This is a very scary and unknown journey and we are relying on YOU the professionals to guide us TO THE END and make plans for next steps. Thousands and thousands later in this economy you’d think they would take care of patients to ensure they feel safe. The savings they imply you will have here are not worth it. If I had a friend ask me to recommend an IVF clinic I sadly wouldn’t recommend.I had a great experience with Dr. Chang and his staff at Hanabusa IVF.

They did a frozen embryo transfer for me that just resulted in the birth of my baby boy! Dr. Chang was very thoughtful and careful in the methodology he chose for my specific circumstances to increase the chances of success. It was very appreciative and a much better experience than my previous transfer elsewhere. I've sent others to see him as well.I should have trusted my instincts from the very beginning.

My first interaction with Diana was uncomfortable — her attitude was rude and dismissive. I initially didn’t go with the clinic because of her and should have stuck to that instinct . That alone should have been my sign to stop the process. Unfortunately, I continued — and I deeply regret it. I had more than one follicle, yet only one egg was retrieved, and that egg was over-mature. The other two follicles could not be retrieved at all. If my egg was already too large or over-mature, and the others were not retrievable, I don’t understand why I was allowed to proceed with retrieval in the first place. This process is emotionally, physically, and financially exhausting. Patients deserve honesty and transparency. I feel completely ripped off and extremely disappointed. This clinic advertises very well, but my experience did not reflect that image. There was a lack of clear communication and realistic expectations, and I was left devastated by the outcome. If you are traveling from outside San Diego, I strongly advise reconsidering. This clinic was not worth the time, money, or emotional investment for me. If anyone would like more details, feel free to message me.I’m a Seattle‑based patient, and after trying three other clinics, I truly wish I had reached out to Hanabusa much sooner.

The difference in care has been night and day. Outside monitoring can definitely be tricky, but everyone at Hanabusa has made the process feel manageable, supportive, and far less stressful than what I experienced elsewhere. From the very beginning, I felt cared for. When I first contacted the clinic, I had a long list of questions. Diana took the time to answer every single one with patience and clarity, something I never got at my previous clinics, where I often felt dismissed or brushed off. That same level of kindness and responsiveness continued with the rest of the team. Diana and Macie have been wonderful, and my nurse Suzy has been incredibly supportive. I’ve also spoken with Kayla and Andrea, and every interaction has reinforced how genuinely caring this staff is. I’ve now completed three egg retrievals with Hanabusa. Even though I retrieved fewer eggs than at my previous clinics, this was the first time every single one made it to blastocyst. We chose not to do PGT testing and transferred our best‑graded embryo and I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant. Initially, I tried to schedule with Dr. Chang, but he was booked out. After doing more research, I met with Dr. LeBlanc, and she has been absolutely wonderful. In the end, it worked out perfectly because I’ve now had the chance to work with both doctors Dr. Chang even performed two of my retrievals. Both are excellent, and I’ve always felt heard and respected. If you’re still debating whether to switch clinics, take this as your sign. It’s incredibly hard to find a place where you’re not treated like a number and where someone actually gets back to you with answers. At my previous clinics, I was constantly left waiting or dismissed. At Hanabusa, someone always follows up. For outside monitoring, I found a local clinic that accepted Hanabusa’s orders, and I simply flew to San Diego for retrievals and transfer. Thank you to everyone at Hanabusa! You turned an incredibly stressful and emotional journey into one where I felt safe, supported, and truly heard. I’m so grateful I made the switch.I truly cannot say enough good things about Hanabusa IVF.

My experience there from start to finish was fantastic, which I am especially grateful for considering how stressful the IVF process is to begin with. For background purposes, I was 39 with a prematurely low AMH of 0.5 when I started my IVF journey. I’d had a tubal ligation in my late 20s, because I was convinced I never wanted to have kids. I had never been pregnant, nor had I ever tried to become pregnant. When I finally did change my mind, I consulted with a clinic in L.A. that offered tubal ligation reversal surgery. They had agreed to do the surgery, and I spent several weeks trying to schedule it, only to be told that they weren’t going to do it after all because they didn’t think it was going to be successful. I decided to go the IVF route, and they told me that due to my low AMH, I would need to do mini-IVF. I knew absolutely nothing about IVF going into all of this, so I asked what the difference was between regular IVF and mini-IVF, and I was told that they just “charge less because it’s less likely to work.” After wasting nearly two months of my time at that clinic, I decided to look for a different clinic closer to me, as I live in San Diego County. That’s when I found Hanabusa. Before my consultation, I was absolutely devastated and heartbroken, convinced that I had ruined my chances of ever being able to have a child with my husband. After my consultation with Dr. LeBlanc, I felt actual hope for the first time. She explained to me in detail what exactly mini-IVF was and how it worked. She was realistic, but she was so kind and compassionate, and she made me feel like all was not lost. I really needed that. I was anxious during my entire treatment because I didn’t realize how long the process takes, nor how critical timing is. Every time I would start to panic, Dr. LeBlanc would calm me down and encourage me to be patient. Whenever she felt things were not optimal, she would tell me that she wasn’t comfortable with proceeding and that it would be beneficial to wait. She was absolutely right. She and my nurse, Kayla, patiently answered my many questions, and I felt like they really cared. Kayla would send me detailed instructions with kind words of encouragement, and she seemed genuinely happy to share good news with me. I’ll never forget the phone call I received from her letting me know that my one and only egg retrieval had yielded 2 euploid embryos (out of 5 total eggs retrieved), nor the call I received from her letting me know that the transfer was successful and my blood tests showed I was pregnant. I am now 5 months pregnant, and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone I interacted with at Hanabusa was so kind and responsive. I literally never had a bad experience with anyone there. I really don’t feel like I would have received this level of care at another clinic, especially considering the experience I had at the first one I went to. I didn’t have enough money to do more than one cycle, so I honestly believe that if not for Dr. LeBlanc’s expertise and patience, I would not be able to say that IVF worked for me.Already having an IVF doctor that I was not ecstatic about I decided to try Hanabusa and I am so grateful I did.

Dr. Leblanc, the nurses, the front desk, everyone that worked there made me feel right at home. Communication was awesome. Instructions were very clear and most importantly they gave me a son.

They explained everything clearly and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. The team is warm, attentive, and truly dedicated. I’m very grateful for their support, and I would highly recommend this clinic.[Warning to Anyone Considering Hanabusa] I had the absolute worst experience with Hanabusa.

From start to finish, the level of care and communication has been far below any reasonable standard. I went in this morning for ultrasound and bloodwork - all done by a nurse and a technician (I’ve never met Dr. Chang aside from the initial video consult). No one explained the treatment plan, just said Dr. Chang would review results later. Around 4pm, I finally got a message in the patient portal outlining four complicated “options” as the next step. Two of the options required urgent medications, including a trigger shot. Yet no one bothered to call me to let me know I needed to pick up the medication WITHIN AN HOUR before the pharmacy closed. (The message came at 4pm, but the pharmacy they sent the prescription to closed at 5pm.) Even if I had seen it right away (which I couldn’t, because I was at work), there was absolutely no way the pharmacy could have filled it in time. On top of that, no nurse called me with instructions on how to administer the trigger shot. One of the “options” the doctor gave was basically, ‘oh well, we can just try again next cycle.’ This is beyond disrespectful. IVF is not only expensive — it’s emotionally draining. To waste an entire cycle because of the clinic’s lack of basic communication is unacceptable. And let’s not forget — this clinic takes no insurance. It’s an all-cash business. Every visit is $500 out of pocket. For that amount of money, this is absolutely not the level of care or respect I deserve. Hanabusa operates as if patients have nothing else to do but stare at their portal all day, ready to drop everything to chase down meds, and as if patients already know how to handle complex treatments without instruction. This is not patient-centered care. It’s careless, dismissive, and shows zero respect for a patient’s time, effort, or emotional well-being. Please reconsider before going here. I am sharing this to warn others so you don’t go through the same heartbreaks and frustration.I had always heard amazing things about Hanabusa but due to my insurance I was at another clinic in town and our results were less than favorable.

On a whim I did a phone consult with Dr Leblanc. Within minutes it was clear she was as educated as she was personable. I am in healthcare myself so her approach with me was direct, Informed and still KIND which is exactly what I need in a provider. During this conversation she was able to bring new ideas into the mix and actually ended up figuring out the root cause of my issues then and there . Flash forward to our very first transfer at Hanabusa and it was A SUCCESS. After years of losses and hardship, Dr Leblanc was able to help us achieve pregnancy the first time around. We truly felt like our success was the clinics, as well. From the front desk staff, to phlebotomy to nurses, everyone is kind and professional and CARING. We will not hesitate to come back for baby 2, you truly can do no better than Hanabusa and Dr Leblanc! Thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕Going through infertility issues is hard enough but having a supportive team made the process smooth in my case.

While Dr. Leblanc was my main Doctor I had the opportunity to work with both her and Dr. Chang as they split procedure days. Both doctors are extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I really appreciated that Dr Leblanc took time to listen to me and support my choices even when the research was unclear. Her support led to our first embryo transfer being a success- even though at other clinics they would have likely pressured me to cancel the transfer and wait another cycle. She always remained optimistic and pragmatic which was a style I appreciated. The team is also extremely friendly and take time to get to know you especially since you're there so often if you do all the monitoring in house. It also made life easier with how quickly instructions were sent usually no later than 330pm giving you ample time to pick up meds if you're local. I highly recommend this clinic and team as they made one of the toughest chapters a little easier on our family.No praise too high for the team at Hanabusa!

I went here for a split donation/egg freezing cycle and everyone was so sweet, personable, professional, and compassionate. They answered all of my questions, never made me feel silly (even about my fear of anaesthesia), tailored their treatment plan to me and my body, and did an fantastic job coordinating my care from across the country. After bad experiences with two larger clinics, I felt so incredibly well-cared-for and safe throughout the entire process. Words cannot express my gratitude!Results aside, (which were successful following failures at other fertility locations) Dr. Chang is my favorite doctor I've worked with across any medical context.

His diagnostic and treatment planning capabilities are masterly. I recommend him for anyone starting or progressing in their fertility journey.

Living in South Washington, I specified during the consultation that I would need occasional support for remote monitoring, planning to come to San Diego only for the egg retrieval. My initial consultation with Dr. Leblanc was positive, and I felt hopeful. However, everything went downhill after that. When the nurses took over, communication was poor and often rude. We were told that after the consultation, all further communication would be handled by the nurses—no direct access to the doctor—which felt unreasonable considering the $20,000+ cost. Additionally, they claimed they would help set up ultrasound appointments for outside monitoring, but no one actually followed through. We were left trying to arrange these services on our own, which proved difficult, as many imaging centers and IVF clinics were not set up for this kind of remote coordination. Despite their assurances, we found no support on this front. There was also a lack of guidance with ordering medications. We were told we’d need to purchase specific medications but weren’t provided with any clarity on how to obtain them. The deal-breakers with Hanabusa IVF were: • No direct access to the doctor after the initial consultation • Unhelpful, often inadequate responses from the nurses • Failure to help us arrange outside monitoring, despite initial assurances • Lack of clarity for same-day blood tests, leading to confusion with STAT prescriptions • Much higher fees compared to other clinics After further research, I realized that Hanabusa IVF didn’t offer any unique services or benefits that justified their high costs. We ended up successfully completing our IVF journey elsewhere and at less than half of the costs. I’d encourage others to explore other clinics that provide more support for a better value.After a somewhat traumatic experience at another clinic in the area and two failed transfers, I turned to Dr. Chang and Hanabusa IVF.

It was night and day from what I experienced at the other clinic. First off, my consultation with Dr. Chang was thorough, and I could tell that he really cared and actually read my medical file. He genuinely seemed invested in our success. He even mentioned some alternative options to getting pregnant that we hadn't considered (other docs had told us only IVF would work for us). He also offered a truly customized plan that was much less stressful than my last protocol, and only suggested extra testing if he genuinely thought it would make a difference in my case. I never waited more than 5 minutes for an appointment or bloodwork, which was such a huge relief!! It's still relatively early in my pregnancy and we don't want to "jinx" but I just couldn't wait to write this review. I am 14 weeks pregnant with my first transfer with Dr. Chang!! If you are hesitant due to finances I TRULY understand, but I wish we had worked with this clinic from the start. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Hanabusa and Dr. ChangWe just did our first embryo transfer with Hanabusa and are waiting for the results but I feel grateful that I chose to go with Hanabusa when embarking on my fertility journey. I…We just did our first embryo transfer with Hanabusa and are waiting for the results but I feel grateful that I chose to go with Hanabusa when embarking on my fertility journey. I feel really comfortable being there, I feel comfortable with the staff, I feel like they are on top of my bloodwork and exams, and I feel like I am being heard. It is also an amazing process seeing what modern day science is capable of. It’s been an experience I’ll never forget and I’m glad I chose this place to have that experience with.

On the date of our first consultation…Hanabusa was recommended by my friend a few years ago (and she got a baby boy!), and we finally decided to take our problem seriously. On the date of our first consultation appointment, Dr. LeBlanc went through all the procedures and information that we have to know patiently. She was so nice and knowledgeable that she even provided us options, allowing us to consider continuing with a few more cycles naturally before committing to their procedure! Other places we've been to were quite aggressive, and Hanabusa doesn't give us that same feeling. The staffs are friendly, they care about you. Even though we are not parents yet, we highly recommend Dr. LeBlanc and Hanabusa to you! I believe with their profession and service, our journey won't be too long and alone. Good luck to all of us!From the beginning our doctor had a defeated attitude. On my first ultrasound she told me she was "disappointed with what she saw".

IVF is very challenging and a defeated attitude from the get-go, when you are trying to create life doesn't serve anyone. As a mental health clinician I understand how important the mindset is, not to mention what you say to patients . And there was our nurse- Andrea. She was awful. No patience and she seemed to get frustrated whenever we had additional questions. For example, for our first round we had a in-person demo of how to administer the meds, as well as a video link and written instructions to refer back to- very helpful! For the second round (with new meds added) we only got an invalid video link with written instructions. We wanted at least a visual example of how to administer the meds. They're expensive, wanted to make sure we were doing them correctly! However, upon reaching out for additional support- we got nothing but attitude.It felt like pulling teeth to get that assistance. Then we made a mistake administering one of our meds. I then reached out, worried we had messed up the dosage. Called the front desk- they were wonderful-patient and understanding with our concern after explaining. Upon receiving a return call, I explained to Andrea "I'm not sure if the front desk explained the situation?" (In an effort to save time and not re-explain how we fudged the meds) she responded with "Um no but if you want-I can hang up with you, go talk to the front desk and then call you back!" And it wasn't in a nice way. After already being stressed about administering the meds wrong we get her condescending attitude. This is what we dealt with with our nurse. All the other nurses we experienced were great. After explaining the situation to the office manager Karen and expressing we were uncomfortable continuing with Andrea we requested to change nurses. She refused and kept making excuses “oh that's just Andrea's personality" And never once apologized. Then they charged us for an unused "calcium bath" that was to be used for the 2nd round Egg Retrieval, which we decided to forgo, due to the fact that there was only 1 mature follicle. We called and explained our concerns. Karen was somewhat receptive, but also tried to sway us "you know it only takes one, that could be the one!"We requested an additional monitoring and got in with Dr Chang. He was great! He gave us options and shared it was "reasonable" to be concerned and not wanting to proceed with this round. He gave us 3 options to proceed: 1) timed intercourse, 2) IUI, 3) IVF and we were instructed to let them know once I ovulated/ we decided.The next week we were billed by Effie in billing- for an unused calcium bath. I asked her to remove the charge and she said she'd talk to her supervisor and get back to me. This was on a Monday. We waited for an answer in regard to removing the charge. Friday when I ovulated and contacted them via the portal like we always did for our next steps, instead of getting a response for the next steps in our pregnancy plan, we get this message from Effie "I will suspend service until balance is clear" really? This woman has just hijacked our plan for $300-400?? That the last time I checked, you were waiting to hear back from your supervisor? This is how we get our answer? You hijacking our pregnancy plan? At that point we had already dropped $13-15k and our balance was always paid within a week/week and half. Not only that- I'd overhead other patients in office, one lady had over $2k balance and I overheard her say "I'll pay it next time". So here we are being harassed for a $300-400 med that was unused, meanwhile some patients get the benefit of the doubt- "to pay later" so I've witnessed first-hand. Where's the consistency? Where's the professionalism? This is something the business could've easily written off. We were treated poorly. We just expected more. After reading all of the great reviews we were so disappointed with our experience. We left. We never got a response or apology.We have been working with Hanabusa for 3 years now.

After a couple of failed IVF attempts at a different clinic we went to Dr. Chang and his team, and our experience could not have been better. Dr. Chang was extremely attentive and with us through every step of the process. He was extremely honest and candid regarding our chances of success, and we felt extremely cared for and listened to. We are now expecting our first child at the end of this year. We are forever grateful for Dr. Chang and his team. It’s hard to find the words to thank them enough.

Every person, each step, every moment was treated with care and determination. I hold my 6 week old writing this review. We live out of state and had small success with IVF but wanted to do another cycle. I am a “poor responder” and was written off by my doctor in town. Thanks to a chance post on Facebook, someone suggested Hanabusa and Dr. Chang, and it was the best decision of our lives! Dr. Chang is brilliant AND has great bedside manner, which is rare. He is caring, understanding, answers every question you have, and has a deep intellectual curiosity about all things fertility and health related. His attention to detail is unparalleled which was the opposite of my previous doctor who had me on every supplement and medicine with no follow up or testing. Dr Chang takes a holistic look at everything you’re taking AND what’s going on in your life. He follows the research and science, yet takes you as a human into account. I have never had a doctor like him before, and he is now the gold standard! The difference was from the get-go: kind financial and scheduling staff. A 30 minute initial consultation with Dr Chang that answered ALL of our questions. Nurses who are positive and communicate with you regularly. You feel like a member of the Hanabusa family from day 1. We spent over a year with our previous doctor and did 4 cycles (2 cancelled) of “kitchen sink protocols.” With Dr Chang, we did a mini IVF that was unique to me and I am now holding my 6 week old. We have another embryo with Hanabusa and we look forward to transferring when we can. Being out of state was not as big of a deal as I imagined and so, so worth it. Hanabusa’s pricing with travel was less expensive than my former doctor’s office. I can only speak from my experience but it really was the best decision we’ve ever made! I recommend Hanabusa to anyone I know who is looking for fertility help.Hanabusa has been so wonderful as my partner and I have navigated the IVF process.

I've spent 3 years with infertility, 10 IVF cycles at various different clinics (in addition to 4 egg retrievals elsewhere) -- I finally went to Hanabusa b/c I heard of their mini protocols and thought of giving it a final go with another cycle. Before doing so, Dr. Chang recommended I try timed intercourse -- his logic was that I could make blasts so why not try before pushing a full on cycle -- I'm so happy I did. 2 timed intercourse cycles in I am pregnant... 11 weeks tomorrow. So while I may have a cautious road ahead of me due to my age -- I would have never had this chance without Dr. Chang and this Clinic. Dr. Chang was very knowledgeable and kind and would answer all my questions. I never felt rushed. My Nurse Ai was amazing and so kind and responsive and I really felt treated like a human and not a number (which has not been the same at other clinics). 10/10 would recommend! definitely give Hanabusa a try (I also did a consult with Dr. Leblanc for ovarian PRP and she was so so kind and confident). I honestly never write reviews like these but felt so compelled to do so. Thank you Hanabusa Team for my chance at being a mom <3.Dr. Chang and the staff at Hanabusa have gone above and beyond in guiding my husband and I through our fertility journey.

We received results that we never expected and it is no doubt from Dr. Chang's immense experience working in the fertility space. We were able to do a lower dose egg retrieval and got to spend much less money on medications than we did with our full IVF stimulation on our first retrieval. The staff assisting during my retrieval were so kind and attentive as well, I felt so safe and comfortable during and after the procedure. We are so excited for the next phase of our journey and we are so happy to be in the care of Hanabusa IVF. The lower medication and less intervention approach in general is a breath of fresh air for us. Dr. Chang really listens to what we value medically and brings in a wealth of knowledge amd evidence based recommendations. I cannot recommend him enough!After going through a few fertility treatments at other clinics, we can confidently say that coming to Hanabusa IVF is one of the best decisions we could have made for our family.…After going through a few fertility treatments at other clinics, we can confidently say that coming to Hanabusa IVF is one of the best decisions we could have made for our family. Words can’t express how grateful we are to Dr. Chang, who …I recently switched to Hanabusa after failing three rounds of IVF at another facility. They have been very supportive and understanding.

Their pricing is fair and you only pay for what you do - like egg retrieval cost is based on numbers of eggs retrieved. I can’t say that I’ve gotten pregnant yet, but I am hopeful it will happen this year. Infertility is difficult and no one understands more than Hanabusa. As a bonus they even have a free support group for those who struggle with infertility. I’m so happy I made the switch I just wish I would have done so sooner. Update- I’m pregnant! Due in 7 weeks. I would have never made it here without Dr. LeBlanc. She was patient, understanding and helped me realize that while the process may take time, the end result is what matters- patience is key. I was often frustrated with my progress and she was very reassuring. When everyone else told me donor eggs, she said not yet; let’s try again with your own!Dr. Chang and the team at Hanabusa truly changed our lives!

It wasn’t until I met the amazing staff at Hanabusa that I was put at ease. Their thoroughness and diligence to providing the best medical care is second to none. From the reception to the nurses and doctors, I’ve never met a better prepared team and I was very pleased with my experience. Now that I embark on my own journey to add to my family I look no further than Hanabusa. My surrogacy experience with Dr. Chang was exceptional and I know I am in the best hands now that I will be with Dr. LeBlanc on my new journey.So far I have experienced in Hanabusa IVF is what I have been looking for in this long journey. The service is excellent, everyone is friendly and professional. Dr. Chang knows my…So far I have experienced in Hanabusa IVF is what I have been looking for in this long journey. The service is excellent, everyone is friendly and professional. Dr. Chang knows my medical history from the initial consultation, unlike most other doctors only tried to put their own treatment plan on me, instead of making effect to know my past medical condition first. I know this is not an easy task, since every Dr. has to deal with so many patients. After each monitor, Dr. Chang always gave his reason for his adjustment on each medication and dosage (He let patient know why and how he balances E2, FSH and LH). With Dr. Chang, I feel more confident to reach a good outcome even though I just started my IVF treatment. I also like my nurse Ryan, she always answered my questions fast and clear. I have nothing to complain, since this clinic already arranges everything in order, everyone I have met from the admin team and nurse team are super nice, which makes me feel at ease. An extra plus point is Hanabusa charges after each time service is rendered, not like other clinics ask for a lump sum before treatment starts. I really appreciate all the effort they have made in every aspect. Hope our wish will finally come true with Hanabusa.We did our due diligence and met with 3 doctors prior to starting and I immediately fell in love with Hanabusa and Dr. LeBlanc.

We were referred to another clinic within our health insurance network and received such disappointing treatment that we sought out other options. My acupuncturist recommended Hanabusa for their customized treatment, particularly with older patients, and we haven't looked back! Dr. Chang is kind, knowledgeable, and eager to get to the bottom of things. He sees each patient, and each cycle, as unique and truly cares about the outcome. The clinic staff and nurses are all sweethearts and make you feel so welcome. IVF isn't cheap, but Hanabusa's prices are transparent and fair. We're still on our journey, but optimistic about the future and our treatment at Hanabusa!Finding this clinic is the best thing that ever happened to us.

He is caring, understanding, answers every question you have, and has a deep intellectual curiosity about all things fertility and health related. His attention to detail is unparalleled which was the opposite of my previous doctor who had me on every supplement and medicine with no follow up or testing. Dr Chang takes a holistic look at everything you’re taking AND what’s going on in your life. He follows the research and science, yet takes you as a human into account.
