Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Onto our new path in life
Life takes you down many paths, the toughest of which is growing your family. For my wife and I, this was a road we were so excited to travel down when the time was right. Married since 2014, and after many years of “trying” every trick in the book or off the books, we finally decided to pursue medical intervention to help us start our family in 2020. After initial meetings and testing that has to be done to understand what was going on and what we needed to do, we were led to the very scary and emotional path of IVF. RFC gave us a great service and our concerns were always acknowledged. Their team handled everything with professionalism and put our needs on the forefront. We attempted two cycles, the first was unsuccessful, though as I write this review, I have to thank the people at RFC for changing our lives. I am now a father to two beautiful children. Thank you Dr. Lin, Paula, Rachel and the many other kind hearts that helped us down this new path of life.

Dr.Lin Fertility Great Doctor
All I can say is positive things about Dr.Lin and his team. Dr.Lin's bedside manner is one of the attributes I loved most about his office. Once your exam is complete Dr.Lin has you meet with him in his office where he takes time to explain next steps in detail. Dr.Lin tells you the facts while exploring every option he feels will give you results. He truly cares you get the family you are seeking. He was authentically happy for our blessings of pregnancy. Over our journey Dr.Lin and team were available to answer all of my questions, always with a sense of urgency and kindness. If we decide to have another child I would only go to Dr.Lin. I am thankful that we found him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to find a great doctor during their journey.

First embryo transfer a success!
I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with the help of Dr. Lin, Lori and the amazing team at Reproductive Fertility Center (Irvine and Alhambra offices). My husband and I had been trying to conceive for 2 years naturally. It was discouraging anticipating to see a positive result. We decided to finally give IVF a try and found that Dr. Lin had a tremendous amount of exceptional reviews. This is the best decision we have ever made. We soon discovered that my uterine lining would not grow big enough for the embryo transfer. Every month, Dr. Lin would continuously work on getting my womb to be fit for the embryo transfer. He did not give up on me. Throughout this journey, they made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Lin and his team are all extremely professional and knowledgeable. And Lori, bless her heart, had to respond to my many questions through email and was very responsive. I hope my review can also help encourage others like me who are also looking for a fertility doctor.

Dr. Lin’s team at Reproductive Fertility Center is beyond amazing! We had a few consultations with other clinics which left us feeling hopeless and lost, but then we met Dr. Lin! He made us feel heard, and like we mattered. He was so great at explaining everything to us, and presenting us with options and a plan. We left his office feeling excited after a long 2 and a half years of trying! The entire team was always welcoming and so helpful. They were always able to squeeze us in when needed, and made the IVF process feel doable and not overwhelming. We cannot say enough positive things about this center and these people. I am so grateful to them for helping us through this process, and so happy to announce it has been successful. Graduation day is bittersweet. We are so happy to be moving forward, but so sad to leave. We cannot wait for our future thanks to the Reproductive Fertility Center team and Dr. Lin. We will be back for more babies in the future!

Dr Lin and his team have been the best thing that has happened for me and my husband. We have struggled with fertility issues for years now (on my end). After about 2 years of not having a menstrual cycle and trying (as much as we could), I was fed up with bouncing around to different OBs, specialists, endocrinologists, etc. and finally called Dr. Lin! We had a call in November 2020 where he so understandingly, told me I just don't seem to ovulate and had what is called "unexplained infertility", then he proceeded to tell me "whenever you are ready to get pregnant, We will get your pregnant". January 2021 we started our fertility journey. After 2 failed attempts at timed intercourse, with trial and errors of meds, Dr. Lin was very confident in telling me IVF was our best option, which I was so nervous about. May 2021 we started our IVF cycle. After 1 cancelled cycle, and 1 transfer that didn't take, we were finally able to say those magical words, "We are PREGNANT!" Dr. Lin and his

Dr. Lin and his RFC staff are top notch. He is an industry leading expert who is passionate about his work, and always innovating and looking for ways to improve his patients' success. At the same time he is patient and understanding, and most importantly, respectful to our requests. He is experienced with autoimmune conditions and was able to design a custom protocol for me, which ultimately allowed us to have a healthy baby boy! His entire staff is outstanding and they will go above and beyond to make sure patients are taken care of. We're so grateful RFC has given us this opportunity to start a family after struggling for so many years. Thank you Dr. Lin and staff!
