M.B. and R.S.'s Story

Thanks!

My husband and I would like to thank Dr. Chetkowski and his staff for our twin pregnancy.

I came to Alta Bates in total despair, after an unsuccessful treatment at another IVF center in the Bay Area. The diagnosis there was "bad egg quality" and I was told that it was very unlikely that I would ever be able to conceive kids of my own. Our only hope, we were told, was to use donor eggs. I was devastated by this news.

A few months later I went for a second opinion to Dr. Chetkowski's clinic. After only one IVF cycle at Alta Bates I am now pregnant with twins. So much for bad quality eggs!

I definitely recommend Dr. Chetkowski's clinic for infertility treatments. I found the whole staff to be very professional, accurate, attentive and very sympathetic with our case. Dr. Chetkowski was available for emergencies and questions even on Saturdays and Sundays, was very helpful in answering questions, and rightfully very cautious in giving diagnosis and predictions.

With our most sincere gratitude,

—M.B. and R.S.
