I waited 9+ months to post this full review after the successful birth of my son via IVF: I’m almost 40 and have been TTC for almost 8 years now. We first tried naturally then with medication (we were living in California at the time) but letrizole and clomid proved ineffective. We then tried eastern Chinese medicine and acupuncture for another few years and this was still ineffective. We moved to Bellevue and started trying naturally again with the help of fertility at-home injection kits but they were still ineffective even with the help of my OB at the time to manually inject sperm. She recommended making a consultation with Dr. Deng and this was the beginning of our journey together in conceiving. I had the privilege of seeing Dr. Deng as she initially started her practice on the Eastside. It was in a shared space with other OB docs & at the time it was just her & Edyta doing everything. My first egg retrieval was in another clinic in Kirkland because Dr. Deng had not yet established her own space. Dr. Deng was scheduling appointments, calling insurance for me, and doing all the practical behind the scenes paperwork but her level of care was never compromised. Right away, I noticed how knowledgeable she was in her field (she also graduated from Stanford) and her kind, supportive demeanor made us reassured that we would be getting personalized care. It was really different from the treatment I received at SRM and RCM (Bay area) where I felt like patients were treated more like a number. We had always hesitated moving forward with IVF until we found the right doctor - Dr. Deng! I did almost three rounds of IVF. My second egg retrieval, I didn’t respond well for some reason and we weren’t able to go through any embryo transfers. I was pretty disheartened but Dr. Deng encouraged us to try again when we’re ready. I tried acupuncture in conjunction with my third ivf cycle and I believe this had some benefit. My third ivf cycle was successful and an embryo successfully implanted in May 2025. now in her new thriving clinic at Overlake, the transfers and egg retrieval literally take place in her office so there’s no need to go anywhere else for procedures. Every time I come into the new Think Fertility clinic, it is packed. There are always patients there and I am not surprised because Dr. Deng is so skilled at what she does - probably the best reproductive endocrinologist in the northwest. Her team has also grown from a two person team. Now she has wonderful staff to help with scheduling, check ins, replying in the portal. The staff have all been great in supporting Dr. Deng’s practice. Edyta, Allie and Dr. Shaw are just wonderful. Sometimes when my husband was on business travel, Allie would help me with my injections because I couldn’t do it myself. Dr. Shaw and Dr Deng were also both so patient with me when I told them I had vaginismis. They were gentle with the probing and gave me time and the space I needed for each ultrasound along with encouragement. This practice far exceeds my expectations. Though my insurance didn’t cover infertility costs, Dr. Deng personally would call the insurance and handle my prior authorizations for meds to save me a few $1000s. She did the very best in helping me save costs and I don’t regret a single penny spent on infertility treatment at Think Fertility. I just gave birth January 15th, 2026 to our miracle baby boy and it’s because of Dr. Deng and her team’s dedication to their patients that made it all possible. I really don’t have the words to express my gratitude. Our son’s middle name is Jie in honor of Jie Deng. Her name in Chinese means triumph or victory. We believe it is a real triumph/victory for us to conceive after this long 8 year journey and though the road was difficult with lots of ups and downs, we had the best support from Think Fertility and all of this turned out to be so rewarding. She made me a mommy! Im enjoying week 2 of our newborn. If you’re considering infertility treatment, Think Fertility is the best. Can’t wait to see you guys for our second kid!

Dr Deng and the care team in Think Fertility is wonderful. Decided to do IVF last December and had a great experience with them. We retrieved 2 normal embryos and are now in the storage. The process was smooth and every procedure was well explained with realistic expectations. My thyoid medication was addressed which i really appreciate. Dr Deng modify the stims meds prior to egg retrieval to have a chance in good embryos. She tailored the process based on every clients situation and will not force you to jump into a decision without really understanding it. Overall we are happy with their services and care. Definitely will recommend for someone looking at IVF with great care and reasonable price.

We had a truly phenomenal experience with Dr.Jie Deng at Think Fertility. From our very first appointment, Dr. Deng was compassionate, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. She took the time to explain every step of the process with clarity, answered all of our questions with patience, and made what can be an emotional and overwhelming journey feel manageable and hopeful. She also let us process our emotions during the journey, but never made her recommendations based on our emotions; instead she was thoughtful and logical and provided us fact based guidance. Her expertise and calm presence gave us so much confidence, and we always felt genuinely cared for not just as patients, but as people. You could feel that the entire team was cheering for our successful outcome but maintained professionalism throughout. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Deng, Dr Shah and all of the fertility specialists and nurses that supported us during this emotional journey. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone navigating fertility treatment. My husband and I also felt that Dr. Deng maintained knowledge of the most current fertility procedures and knowledge (ALWAYS changing) and that in many cases, her research and knowledge was industry leading. My only downside was having to go to LabCorp in tandem with the fertility process at Think Fertility (Think Fertility does blood draws for days you are having appointments in office, but you go to Lab Corp for other days).This is a Lab Corp complaint, not an issue with Think Fertility.

Short & Sweet: We cannot recommend Dr. Deng and Think Fertility highly enough for anyone seeking compassionate, personalized, and effective fertility care. They truly go above and beyond! And now baby girl is on her way in 2026! Long & Detailed: After experiencing two unsuccessful IVF cycles at another clinic where we felt treatment was only given as a set plan regardless of their circumstances, my husband and I were feeling discouraged but hopeful, so we looked for another clinic. From our very first consultation with Dr. Deng, we knew we were in compassionate and expert hands. What truly sets Think Fertility apart was their unwavering commitment to personalized care. They took the time to understand our unique needs, lifestyle, and concerns, tailoring a treatment plan that perfectly aligned with us, especially my body’s health. Throughout the entire process, the team was incredibly responsive—always quick to answer our questions and provide reassurance. Their communication made us feel supported every step of the way, alleviating many of the anxieties that can accompany fertility treatments. The hospitality at Think Fertility was simply outstanding. The warm, welcoming environment and genuine kindness of the staff made each visit comfortable and encouraging. It’s clear they prioritize not just medical excellence but also patient well-being and emotional support. Thanks to their dedicated and personalized approach, we are overjoyed to share that we conceived on our very first IVF cycle with them. This experience has been life-changing, and we are eternally grateful to Dr. Deng and the entire team at Think Fertility for helping us turn our dream into reality. We can’t wait to meet our baby girl in 2026!

Dr. Deng and her team are incredible - compassionate, kind and always treated my husband and me with utmost respect. Her care is personalized and we never felt like we were just being given a standard protocol. She was always patient with our questions and took time to answer each one thoroughly. Dr. Tosha Shah (another doctor at Think Fertility) was at most of my appointments and was my primary point of contact at the clinic. She answered every question in detail and always took time to explain every aspect of the visit, ultrasound or procedure being planned. She was always prompt to reply via the portal, even on weekends. My care felt personalized and I always left the clinic feeling positive. The nursing staff are also really kind and friendly. They always asked me about my day and were always positive and encouraging. Scheduling appointments is easy due to a very competent front desk. Even the billing department is exceptional, they helped us figure out our fertility insurance with utmost patience. Dr. Deng and her team create an atmosphere of hope and positivity - 2 things desperately needed in this journey.
