In patients' words
"This clinic is running a money making business, harvesting your eggs is just a way for them to harvest dollars. It bears no resemblance to the practice of medicine."
— Google Review (cited by SF Standard)"I do not recommend Spring for IVF (which is a bit of a catch-22 if you have your eggs there). ... I've heard from a number of others that Spring is cavalier about failed transfers."
— OVU.com review"Dr. Dovey is the most professional and caring doctor I have ever met...has deep knowledge and expertise...shares relevant research findings."
