This clinic has insufficient experience and manpower, and it is very foolish to nurses with the wrong drugs. Fortunately, I found that when you take an egg early, you can make it anesthetize. No matter whether it's an unqualified egg or not, it's charged. It's the number of eggs. The quality of the laboratory is poor. I have Good friends open the PGS testing lab so I wanted him to help me test the embryo The lab director is a Hungarian immigrant. Thousands of people keep insisting that we pay for the local trials (estimated economic transport). The result is 6-Day. Blastocyst "non read". Results. The experts who consulted the experts all said that this experimental test technique was not enough, and DNA Amplification could not do it. After spending 10,000 US dollars, a diagnosis was not given. Domestic competitor Buyer Beware. Hanabusa is a deceptive organization. Don't be fooled.

I am currently doing IVF at Hanabusa IVF. From the first, I choose it is because I live in San Diego and the place is very close and also I've heard about Doctor Chang's name before. But after I am doing ivf there, I just feel I really love this place. Not only Doctor Chang is really good and always explains things to his patient clearly and put a lot of efforts to address patient real problem, but also the stuff there are so friendly and nice making you feel like a family. Before I went to Hanabusa, I did 6 times transfer (all blasts) in other places and all failed. Doctor Chang put a lot of efforts to help me to find possible reasons instead of simply repetition. Not only Doctor Chang and his stuff, the lab there is pretty amazing too, recently I just did an egg retrieval, and with only around 500 E2 and the biggest size of follicles is only 15mm, others are less than 12mm before the day of trigger (I really don't have many follicle in baseline, normally I have only 4 to 5 total and I have serious follicle leading issue), Doctor Chang retrieved 5 eggs and 4 of them are matured and the amazing part is that I got 4 blasts. So I really appreciate their efforts to make this happen. Although I still have not been successful yet, but I really feel this is a good place to recommend!

Dr. Chang is amazing and is great at what he does. All the nurses have been extremely sweet and caring. I was referred to them for my surrogate experience and I have nothing, but great compliments. I'm very thankful to have them on my side.

I have had excellent care at Hanabusa IVF and with Dr. Chang. He is a very kind and patient doctor. He always takes the time to answer all my questions. This clinic returns emails and phone calls in a timely manner which I did not find at my previous clinic and makes such a huge difference. The staff at the clinic are also very kind and make me feel at ease. Dealing with infertility is so tough, but having an understanding doctor and a kind staff makes it a bit easier to handle. This is a great clinic!

I had such a disappointing experience at Hanabusa that I would like share my personal experience here. The goal is to help women searching for mini IVF options to avoid the trap of this unethical and subpar quality clinic. Hanabusa self promotes itself with multinational presence and three experienced in-house medical doctors in San Diego headquarter, this is absolutely misleading. It's a one man show with Dr Chang being the only med doc seeing patients. No staff nor voice machines set up over the weekend so if you are ovulating and needs medication unexpectedly, you are out of luck. During my treatment I was prescribed birth controls while what I really needed was Clomid. If you are under financing constraints, this is definitely not the place for you. The aggressive pricing (compared to many other ones in the same area) is astonishing. Egg harvesting is priced by the numbers of eggs they take out, regardless whether they are mature or not. Doc therefore is incentivized to take as many eggs out as possible, knowing that some don't make sense for the patient at all. Hanabusa is also very questionable about PGS lab referral. In my case, the lab director insisted to send my one (and only one) 6-day blastocyst to Progenesis, a tiny unknown, privately owned lab in La Jolla for PSG for $1,000 (I suspect Hanabusa get a handsome kickback from the referral I suspect). I had a friend who is a geneticist and runs a highly reputable PGS lab but Hanabusa was unwilling to use his lab. The result came back from Progenesis as Non-Read. Hanabusa did not release my result for 4-days before the doc was informed the Non Read. Later the doc told me that he didn't know how to explain the result to me as Non Read isn't common. Now Hanabusa is holding my only embryo from the treatment as a hostage as I refused to pay for the 1,000 PSG bill (after having paid 10K in cash out of pocket at the clinic). Since neither Progenesis nor Hanabusa was able to perform the PSG, common sense tells me that incomplete services should not be paid for. As IVF demand grows in the US and worldwide, clinics mushroomed as IVF becomes the most lucrative business in healthcare. Some are highly competent and some are operational disaster. It is one thing to be green as a start-up with operational mishaps, but being as unethical as Hanabusa is a huge red flag that deserves attention within the industry as well as broad public.

I have had the best experience at Hanabusa IVF. I’ve been to other IVF clinics and, in comparison, it feels like the staff at Hanabusa and Dr. Chang really have spent the time to get to know me and my needs.
