I would recommend Dr. Rychlik and the Oma Fertility team to my closest friends and loved ones. Dr. Rychlik’s communication style is direct and to the point. He explains everything in a way that is both thorough and easy to understand, which my husband and I always appreciated. He stays on top of the latest research and also has extensive knowledge about his field through years of experience. And of course, there is his vast array of Dad jokes that come at the perfect time, and almost make your IVF appointments, dare I say, fun? The Oma Fertility team rallied around us during our infertility journey, and did not give up on us until we were successfully pregnant with our now, 1 month old baby boy. We are forever grateful for our experience with them, and truly felt like we were in the best hands under their care.

This is definitely the fake and most irresponsible clinic! They will never respond back after giving you the schedule, had me took my days off for the entire egg donation process and never responded back! I sent them emails and gave calls too but no one responded! They even told me not to travel internationally before the treatment and I even postponed my trip to visit my family but the lack of professionalism from them is on different level! Sooo disappointed with the unrealistic expectations from this clinic! Be careful before you make any decisions in your career just because they give you dates, but afterwards they just DISAPPEAR

I’ve been to other clinics before and this was the best. The staff was friendly and professional, and provided great communication throughout the process. I appreciated the email updates from the embryologist. I found the doctor to be friendly and knowledgeable. It was evident to me that he puts time into training his staff as well as providing advanced, high quality medical equipment (i.e. ultrasound equipment, embryo lab, etc. ). The ultrasound tech (I think Anna-Elyse) was just wonderful. IVF is an emotional process and you won’t find any “handholding” here but you will a find professional, knowledgeable, and competent staff.

This clinic is unprofessional and disorganized. I had completed the entire process to becoming an egg donor, devoting 3 months of back and forth communication, calls, 300+ question exams, blood work, driving hours away to appointments… only to get to the last step (being matched with a family) and have them ghost me for over a month. After getting ahold of Natalie, she informed me via a very vague text, still not addressing the radio silence for 30+ days; the text read that they are “making adjustments to the screening process, and are putting all donor cycles on hold”. Of course this is frustrating as it’s an immense amount of time, money and energy I put in only to have that be the end result. I am now moving forward with another donor program and have had a wonderful experience with this new clinic! I wouldn’t recommend anyone move forward with OMA as a donor… I can’t help but wonder if OMA is a scam? OMA has a history of disqualifying bad reviews i’ve seen by responding that they don’t have record of that person being a patient. So for OMA team: My name is Alexandra Lopez.

If you don’t have a “standard” case, I wouldn’t go here. Between two failed egg retrievals, I only talked to Dr. Rychlik two times. He refused to change my protocol for another round and told me to use donor eggs. During that conversation, he didn’t even have my diagnosis correct or seem to even understand why I needed IVF. So, if you don’t fit into his standard protocol, he won’t work for you. I felt like a number and this felt lazy. The staff is also too busy and communication was sometimes difficult, but they were always kind.After going to another clinic, I found out why those retrievals didn’t work and it reaffirmed my thoughts on Dr. Rychlik’s standard protocol and it being lazy. I was able to have success without donor eggs thanks to my new doctor treating my case on an individual level.

From scheduling the first consultation all the way through graduating to my OBGYN after a successful transfer the whole team was warm, welcoming, and helpful. Struggling with infertility is hard- youll go to a lot of clinics were you are just treated like another number. Oma Fertility offers personalized care. Dr. Dan makes you feel at ease and that he is really dedicated to helping you grow your family- he makes sure to listen to your concerns; he doesnt just rush you in and out of the office. Allison and Betty are great and are always just a phone call or email away and they are prompt when answering any questions or to relieve any anxiety you may have with your calendar or medications. Ive also never met an ultrasound tech like Olesya- shes truly amazing. She explodes with enthusiasm and compassion from your first baseline ultrasound all the way through to hearing your babys heartbeat for the first time. Meghan was a pleasure to work with while discussing all the financials regarding all the procedures- she was sure to be thorough making sure nothing became a surprise in the end. Overall I highly recommend Oma Fertility and I plan to do another round of IVF with them in the future.

0 wasn’t an option. This was the worst experience of my life. I was treated as if I was disposable, given the run around and used. Only 3 of their staff members were amazing Megan, Nicole and Lauren, everyone else needs God in their lives. I was lied to for 3months before they “discharged “ me for this imaginary story. Wasted time that I will never get back, no communication, truth or services rendered. I was placed on birth control that bleed me to death just to be told we will be doing IVF in a month and I never even so much as stepped in the facility. DO NOT GO HERE THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!

Choosing Oma Fertility was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time, Dr. Daniel Rychlik is amazing and will do whatever it takes to help you start your new family. The other staff members are wonderful as well and very helpful and very kind and courteous and knowledgeable. I did IVF at Oma fertility and drove from San Pedro California to Santa Barbara because of the high reviews I read about Oma Fertility before going in and I am now currently 11 weeks pregnant and we are over joyed to start our family. Thank you so very much!!!

Worst experience of my fertility journey and he got everything he could wrong. Horrible bedside manner, left in tears with no options and no further testing and he told me right from the start I should just use donor eggs. Went to California Fertility Partners instead and got embryos and a diagnosis of endometriosis so Im now going to meet with Dr. Camran Nezhat. The scars he left with me and my partner with are still healing and ultimately why I think men in this field should be completely discredited. Hated everything about this doctor and Ive made it a mission of mine to educate women that doctors want to write off. May your journey be good and not whatever this fool did to me.

The doctor and staff are absolutely amazing and professional. If you ever have questions they are just a email or phone call away. We live almost 3.5 hours away but it was worth every mile to go for my appointments. I never thought that we would have the opportunity to try to build our family but here I am 26 weeks pregnant and it is all thanks to the amazing doctor and staff.

I can’t believe how welcome I felt coming into the office for the first time. I feel like the doctor and staff actually care about me and are rooting for me to get pregnant.I had gone to a different doctor before and I felt like just a number. Go in, get undressed as fast as possible, get an ultrasound, get dressed and get out so the next patient can go in.At Oma, all the staff have been so patient and kind. I would recommend this place to anyone that is going through infertility. They are here for you, girl!Oh, and a big shout out to Meghan for showing me there are resources to help fund my IVF treatment. We all know how expensive infertility treatments can be and there are resources out there.

This is a stock standard no frills IVF clinic that is all about making money and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The doctor had an unfriendly “too busy” bedside manner, and they put you on the same meds protocol as everyone else regardless of age, which is ridiculous for women over 40. They also put you on birth control so you fit with their schedule (a sign of a a clinic that’s about $ not results) which represses the ovaries of most women over 40 - this happened to me and I got one egg when usually I have 20 follicles. I did my first IVF cycle here and had terrible results (embryo didn’t survive) due to the birth control and low dose protocol - when I suggested we change it during the cycle I was ignored by the doctor. In the follow up call the doctor told me the poor results were due to my egg reserve, even when I questioned the birth control. I moved on to CNY, a much better low cost clinic - and of course without birth control and the low dose protocol at OMA, I got about 12 eggs in multiple cycles. The problem was OMA, not me. Don’t go to OMA. Go to CNY.

My husband and I struggle with unknown infertility and tried for years to get pregnant before seeking Dr. Dan’s expertise. We tried two unsuccessful IUIs before harvesting five healthy embryos via in vitro fertilization (IVF). Two out of four frozen embryo transfers (FETs) resulted in pregnancies!The entire team at Oma Fertility is compassionate, professional, and genuinely care about your growing family. I know my infertility left me feeling emotionally defeated but trusting in Dr. Dan, the team, and the process made my pregnancy dreams attainable.
