Working with Dr. Chetkowski was an absolute pleasure. He is very professional and realistic about outcomes. He is frank and honest which is so helpful in the process. It is also very evident to me that he truly cares about me as a patient. I really felt that he took the time with me to make me feel comfortable and valued my concerns every step of the way. Also, the staff at the clinic are outstanding. Every call and interaction was highly supportive and caring. It made the whole experience so much easier.
I originally came from Europe to the US to find out more about surrogacy as I always wanted to be a father but as gay man, I was not sure exactly how I would realize my dream... After a 1st successful embryo transfer, my surrogate is almost 12 weeks pregnant and it's no longer a dream... Dr. Chetkowski has been amazing since my first visit in explaining very clearly the whole process of surrogacy and being transparent and honest with high ethical standards... He is not only one of the best technicians in fertilization, Dr. Chetkowski is accessible and available to his patients and has a real human approach. Thanks also to his team, especially Barbara and Wendy who have been so sweet! Alta Bates' partners (agency, attorney, psy, etc.) have all similarities: great professionals with long experience. Thank you so much for making this journey the best ever!!!!
I have been a patient with Dr. Chetkowski since 2011. I have been a surrogate through his program twice now. I am very happy with my care and the services provided are phenomenal. The staff always has a great attitude and always available to answer any questions I have.
This is our second round at IVF following the successful birth of our first daughter, now age 4. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the venerable Dr. Chetkowski and his staff, and consider ourselves fortunate to have such expertise available in the East Bay.
Love the doctor, nurses, and office staff. Very personal feel, versus some of the fertility "factories". Also pragmatic, data based approach to "get to know my ovaries".
We love him and have been with her for 4 years now! We feel like she really cares and a nurse has always called us with our results and the sweet lady who deals with payment was very patient and called with new info all the time there was several times I thought I owed money and had a credit so I am going to say they are honest.
