Fertility and Surgical Associates of California is located at 325 Rolling Oaks Drive, Suite 110, in Thousand Oaks — the largest city in Ventura County and a major medical hub for the Conejo Valley. The practice's name signals its dual focus: comprehensive reproductive endocrinology and infertility services paired with surgical expertise for the gynecologic and reproductive conditions that affect fertility. Thousand Oaks is centrally placed for patients from Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Calabasas, Camarillo, Moorpark, and the Conejo and Simi Valley communities — areas with substantial professional and family populations that benefit from having subspecialty fertility care within the local medical ecosystem rather than requiring a drive over the Santa Monica Mountains to Los Angeles.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Fertility and Surgical Associates of California is led by reproductive endocrinologists with fellowship training in REI and a particular emphasis on the surgical management of reproductive conditions. The inclusion of "surgical" in the practice name reflects the team's capability to evaluate and treat endometriosis, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, tubal obstruction, and pelvic adhesions — conditions that, if left unaddressed, can significantly reduce the effectiveness of IUI or IVF. The clinical team includes nurses experienced in cycle monitoring and patient education, embryologists, and administrative staff familiar with Ventura County and Los Angeles County insurance plans.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Fertility and Surgical Associates of California maintains laboratory resources supporting the IVF program. Patients should ask at consultation about laboratory arrangements — including whether embryology is performed on-site or at a partnered facility — and about key quality benchmarks such as fertilization rates, blastocyst development rates, and vitrification survival. These metrics are important alongside published SART outcome data. Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
Thousand Oaks is one of the most livable communities in Southern California, consistently ranking among the safest and most family-friendly cities in the state. The Rolling Oaks Drive location is in a professional office park accessible from the 101 Freeway, with abundant parking and proximity to the Thousand Oaks medical corridor. Patients from Westlake Village and Agoura Hills are just minutes away; Camarillo and Moorpark patients are within 20 minutes. The setting provides a calm, suburban environment that many patients prefer for fertility treatment compared to navigating a congested Los Angeles location. The Conejo Valley community demographic — primarily professional families — aligns well with the practice's patient base.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
California does not have a state IVF mandate. Coverage for fertility treatment in Ventura County depends on the patient's employer and health plan. Some employers with Conejo Valley offices — including financial services, technology, and healthcare companies — voluntarily include fertility benefits. The practice team can assist with insurance verification and prior authorization. Self-pay patients can ask about cycle pricing and financing options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "surgical" emphasis mean for fertility patients? Many causes of infertility have a structural or anatomical component: endometriosis can distort the pelvis and affect egg quality; fibroids may interfere with implantation; polyps can reduce IVF success rates; tubal scarring from prior infections may block natural conception. A practice with surgical expertise can evaluate and address these conditions in-house rather than requiring patients to coordinate with a separate surgical gynecologist.
Does the practice treat patients with severe endometriosis? Yes. The surgical focus of the practice is particularly relevant for patients with endometriosis, as surgical excision — when appropriate — can improve fertility outcomes. The decision about surgical versus medical management of endometriosis before fertility treatment is individualized and would be discussed at your consultation.
Is the Thousand Oaks location convenient for patients from Santa Barbara? Thousand Oaks is approximately 55–65 miles south of Santa Barbara via the 101 Freeway. Some patients from Santa Barbara seek care in Thousand Oaks as an alternative to Los Angeles; others may prefer facilities in Santa Barbara proper. The commute depends on traffic conditions on the 101 corridor.
Can I get both my fertility treatment and gynecologic care at this practice? Yes. The integrated reproductive medicine and surgical gynecology model means patients can receive routine gynecologic evaluation, diagnostic and operative procedures, and fertility treatment from the same team.
