Before coming to her, I did not feel fully supported, and some important aspects of my medical history were not consistently taken into account. Switching to Dr. Meng made a huge difference. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. From the very beginning, she took the time to thoroughly understand my medical background, including my Hashimoto’s thyroid condition, and made sure it was taken into consideration throughout the IUI process. Her approach was always thoughtful, precise, and well-organized, which gave me a lot of confidence in her care. What truly speaks to her expertise is that I was able to achieve a successful pregnancy from my very first IUI cycle with her. I know every case is different, but I really appreciate how carefully she managed every step and made sure nothing was overlooked. She is also very attentive and compassionate—she follows up carefully, communicates clearly, and makes you feel heard and respected. I always felt that I was in very capable hands. I’m truly grateful to have found Dr. Meng and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking fertility care.Fertility clinic

We actually met with five different fertility specialists before making our decision, and she stood out immediately. Her depth of knowledge, the way she took time to explain every detail from the very first consultation, and her warm, friendly attitude made us feel completely comfortable and confident moving forward with her. Throughout the IVF journey, it was clear how dedicated she is to her patients. She is energetic, focused, and truly committed to helping people reach their goal. Our case was complicated, mainly due to my age, but she never made us feel discouraged. She doesn’t give up, and that meant a lot to us. Dr. Meng stayed patient through every step, walked us through each decision carefully, and made sure we understood our options. I always felt supported and taken seriously. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Whenever we had questions or needed reassurance, she or her office responded quickly. Her team is professional, knowledgeable, and very organized, and they made the whole process feel much smoother and less stressful than we expected. Thanks to her expertise and persistence, I’m now pregnant, the pregnancy has been smooth, and we’re expecting in just a few weeks. We’re truly grateful for Dr. Meng's care and dedication. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fertility specialist, especially if you want a doctor who is thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in her patients’ success.

Visits feel personal (not like I'm just another chart) and follow ups are always prompt. Further, the facilities are immaculately clean. Their processes just flow making it easy to focus on what's important during my visits. And I'm always greeted with a warm hello from the team. Especially Vivian who come equipped with a vast amount of knowledge and is always so responsive and helpful. I'm truly grateful to be under the care of such an amazing team!Dr. Sachdev and her team provided me with an incredibly experience during my egg freezing journey.

Their bedside banner was out of this world, they treated me like a friend and I felt welcome in their clinic during both of my treatments. Dr. Sachdev was professional, honest and provided me with a realistic treatment plan. I can't thank her enough and am over the moon with my results. If you're considering freezing your eggs, I can not recommend Dr. Sachdev and South Coast Fertility Specialists enough.From Trauma to a Miracle To say that Dr. Meng gave us a family would be an understatement; she gave us our lives back. Before finding Dr. Meng, our IVF journey in Las Vegas was a…From Trauma to a Miracle To say that Dr. Meng gave us a family would be an understatement; she gave us our lives back. Before finding Dr. Meng, our IVF journey in Las Vegas was a nightmare. I had suffered through failed attempts and a traumatic egg retrieval that left me with life-threatening complications. I was at my lowest point—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I truly felt like I didn’t deserve to be a mother and had lost all faith that a miracle could happen for us. Everything changed when a dear friend referred us to Dr. Meng. From our very first meeting, we knew she was different. She didn't just see us as another case; she saw our hearts. Dr. Meng went above and beyond at every single turn. She was meticulous and tireless, ensuring no stone was left unturned. Whether it was the complex egg retrieval process, navigating the delicate journey of selecting a surrogate, or perfecting our implantation strategy, she was there guiding us every step of the way. She fought for our dream as if it were her own. Because of her expertise and her unwavering belief in us, we are finally expecting our baby summer of 2026. Looking back, every tear and every struggle was worth it to end up in her care. We are finally getting our 'complete home,' and it simply would not have happened without her. If you have lost hope, go see Dr. Meng. She is a miracle worker and a blessing to every family she touches.I cannot recommend Dr. Kashani and her team highly enough.

We first started seeing her in 2022 after a prior IVF experience elsewhere, and the difference was truly night and day. Now in 2026, I’m pregnant with our second baby under her care, and we feel incredibly grateful to have found her. Dr. Kashani is everything you could want in a reproductive endocrinologist and IVF physician, kind, warm, respectful, and exceptionally knowledgeable. She is up to date on the latest research and tailors every treatment plan to your specific situation. She communicates clearly, keeps you informed every step of the way, and is always honest and compassionate throughout the process. Her team is equally amazing. Vivian (her coordinator) and Karen (one of her nurses) have been with us through both IVF journeys and are responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in helping patients build their families. You truly feel cared for as a person, not just a patient. Having been through IVF before at another practice, I can confidently say the level of care and personalization here is on another level. There is simply no comparison. We will always be grateful to Dr. Kashani and her team for helping us grow our family.From our first consultation appointment onwards, we felt that we were on a team with Dr. Kashani and that she would always be straightforward and honest with us—she was willing to…From our first consultation appointment onwards, we felt that we were on a team with Dr. Kashani and that she would always be straightforward and honest with us—she was willing to answer hard questions with an approachable, empathetic, and wise demeanor. Our experience with Dr. Kashani was so positive that we have encouraged all of our friends and family encountering any infertility challenges to look at her clinic, her interviews, and podcasts. If we need any future treatment, we plan to return to Dr. Kashani ourselves as well.Her [Dr. Fangyin Meng] depth of knowledge, the way she took time to explain every detail from the very first consultation, and her warm, friendly attitude made us feel completely…Her [Dr. Fangyin Meng] depth of knowledge, the way she took time to explain every detail from the very first consultation, and her warm, friendly attitude made us feel completely comfortable and confident moving forward with her.

If I came in having researched something new, we had candid conversations about it. She is also so incredibly up to speed on all the latest techniques and methodologies. She was always kind, thorough, answered all my questions, and I trust her judgment implicitly.Who you would meet
