Your questions, answered

Before your first visit.

How do I know which practitioner to see?

New patients can book an appointment directly through Jane. If you prefer help choosing, the practice offers an optional, free 15-minute consultation with Dr. Kao to discuss your concerns and practitioner options. A consultation is not required.

Can care be coordinated with IVF or IUI?

The practice offers complementary fertility support alongside IVF and IUI. Share your reproductive treatment schedule with the team so care can be discussed in the context of your existing medical treatment. No pregnancy or IVF outcome is guaranteed.

Do you accept my insurance?

Coverage depends on the plan, practitioner and service. The practice’s rates page lists Cigna and Landmark participation for Dr. Heidi Kao. Contact the office to verify your specific benefits before a visit; do not assume every provider or treatment is covered.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Appointments are managed through the practice’s existing Jane booking system. You can view options there or call (510) 844-0095 for help. An inquiry or consultation request is not a confirmed appointment.

Where can I find recommended supplements?

The Shop Supplements link opens Dr. Heidi Kao’s verified Fullscript account. Use recommendations discussed with your practitioner; the website does not provide individual supplement advice.
