What our patients are saying

Real stories from people who’ve trusted us with their fertility journey.

The Elsa care team was so responsive, proactive, and truly caring. I had to make some last-minute changes, but they handled everything so seamlessly. They called everywhere on my behalf to coordinate appointments and saved me so much time and stress. I even managed to get an ultrasound done that discovered a health issue I didn’t know I had. The nurses were incredible—responsive to every message and communicative via email and text, but never overly pushy. They checked in just enough to make me feel supported without overwhelming me. I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable and well-cared-for I felt throughout the entire process.

The Elsa platform has completely transformed my fertility journey. Having my medications delivered directly to my doorstep and a monitoring location just 10 minutes away made everything so much more manageable. The convenience alone is unmatched, but what really stood out was the 24/7 access to my dedicated care team. The nurses were incredibly responsive and made me feel supported. It felt like they truly cared about my experience and well-being. Elsa made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and empowering. Highly recommend it to anyone considering!

Choosing Elsa for egg freezing was one of the best decisions I've made. The process was straightforward, affordable, and fit well with my busy lifestyle. Instead of having to take 2 weeks off, I was able to just take a few days off.

Using Elsa made my fertility journey so much smoother—it took away so many pain points that I’d experienced elsewhere. The platform is streamlined and intuitive and optimized for mobile use. One of the standout features was having all my documents; this solved a huge issue for me as keeping track of everything across multiple platforms at other clinics had been a nightmare.

There were some minor hiccups, like a video that didn’t match the correct injection type (IM vs. SQ). The Elsa team handled issues quickly and made even last-minute changes stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone navigating fertility care!

The chat function on Elsa was super easy to use. I could ask questions, get answers fast, and didn’t have to deal with waiting on hold or guessing who to call. Having them help with scheduling was a game-changer—no more pretending to be a provider or dealing with the usual scheduling chaos. Everything I needed—results, videos, resources—was in one place, which made it way less stressful.
