Achieve pregnancy through personalized, innovative treatments.
At the California Center for Reproductive Medicine (CACRM), we’ve been helping individuals and couples worldwide for nearly 25 years to overcome their fertility challenges and make their dreams of having a child come true. Our personal approach, medical expertise, and state-of-the-art facility have made us one of the most recognized and successful fertility clinics in California.
Making dreams come true with today’s most advanced reproductive technologies.
CACRM offers leading-edge assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to help you realize your dream of becoming a parent. They include:
- In vitro fertilization (IVF)
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- Donor eggs
- Surrogacy
- Pre-implantation genetic testing
Donor eggs make pregnancy possible.
Egg donation is an important pathway to having that child you’ve been dreaming of. As part of CACRM’s state-of-the-art capabilities, we have helped thousands of people from around the world have a child through in vitro fertilization. Egg donation makes this dream possible for many people who have low ovarian reserve, early menopause or prior failed IVF cycles, or for whom egg donation is the only means of conceiving.
Bring a baby into the world with the help of our unique surrogacy program.
At the California Center for Reproductive Medicine, we are our own surrogacy program. This means that, unlike surrogacy agencies, actual fertility specialists are involved—specialists who are changing surrogacy for the better. We treat intended parents and surrogates with honesty, and we’re here to protect all parties’ interests. To avoid wasting time and resources, we evaluate surrogates thoroughly before you ever meet them. And you don’t sign any retainers or spend any money until you meet your potential surrogate. Our focus is on our shared goal: a beautiful, healthy baby in your arms.

I am passionate about helping families or individuals achieve their reproductive goals. Each person involved in bringing a new life into the world has a very special purpose, whether it be the egg donors and surrogates, intended parents and hopeful parents or the medical staff.
Achieving healthy families with effective genetic services
CACRM provides essential embryo screening services to detect genetic abnormalities through preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) before embryo implantation. This advanced testing helps assess the risk of inherited conditions and chromosomal abnormalities, promoting healthier outcomes for future generations. Our extensive genetic services include:
Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) screens embryos for missing or additional numbers of chromosomes, which is the leading cause of miscarriage and implantation failure.
Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M) is used to help reduce the risk of having a child with a “known” inherited disorder caused by mutations in a single gene, such as cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s disease.
Structural Rearrangement (PGT-SR) is used to identify embryos with the incorrect chromosome number or structure.
PGT with Gender Selection allows patients to choose embryos based on gender for either medical or social reasons. This advanced testing detects genetic abnormalities and also determines the embryo’s gender, helping individuals and couples make informed reproductive choices.

We were so disheartened after the miscarriages, and you helped our dreams come true. Thanks for listening, for your care and for your gift.” – Carol M.
