HRC Fertility's Newport Beach location is at 20360 SW Birch Street, Suite 200, in Newport Beach, California — in the medical and professional corridor of one of Orange County's most prominent coastal communities. SW Birch Street sits in the Newport Beach business district, accessible from the 73 Toll Road and nearby the Irvine/Newport Beach border. HRC Fertility (havingbabies.com) is a Southern California fertility network with locations across the region; the Newport Beach location is distinct from HRC's Beverly Hills and San Francisco practices, which have been covered separately. For Orange County patients, this Newport Beach clinic is the primary HRC access point, serving patients from Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, Mission Viejo, and beyond.

Physicians and Clinical Team
HRC Fertility is staffed by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who are among the most experienced fertility specialists in Southern California. The Newport Beach physicians bring fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and are supported by HRC's network infrastructure — shared protocols, laboratory quality benchmarking, and access to subspecialty resources across the network's multiple locations.
HRC has positioned itself as one of the leading brands in Southern California fertility care, and the Newport Beach location reflects that reputation. The physicians here manage the full diagnostic and clinical spectrum: from patients in their early 30s beginning a first fertility evaluation to patients over 40 pursuing egg donation or gestational surrogacy, and from straightforward ovulatory dysfunction to repeated implantation failure and complex male-factor infertility.
The nursing team, embryologists, and care coordinators at the Newport Beach location are trained in HRC's patient care standards — including responsive communication and clear protocol guidance — with the understanding that Orange County patients often have demanding professional and personal schedules.

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
Newport Beach's medical community is among the most sophisticated in Southern California. The SW Birch St address is within easy reach of Hoag Hospital, one of the most recognized community hospitals in Orange County, and sits in a medical corridor accustomed to serving a high-expectation patient population.
Orange County fertility patients tend to be well-researched. Many have reviewed online resources, asked questions in fertility forums, and consulted friends who have been through fertility treatment before their first clinic appointment. HRC's Newport Beach staff is oriented toward this prepared patient — physicians and nurses engage with informed patients who want to understand the reasoning behind their protocol rather than simply follow instructions.
The Newport Beach location serves a geographically broad patient base. Orange County's highway network makes the SW Birch St address accessible from Irvine (15 minutes), Costa Mesa (10 minutes), Laguna Beach (20 minutes), and Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, and Mission Viejo further south. Some patients from Long Beach and the South Bay also choose the Newport Beach HRC location over closer Los Angeles-area options.
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 mandate requiring health insurers to cover IVF. While California mandates coverage for infertility diagnosis and some treatments, IVF coverage remains primarily at the employer's discretion. Many Orange County employers — particularly in the technology, healthcare, and financial services sectors — offer fertility benefits voluntarily.
HRC's financial team is experienced in California fertility insurance navigation and can assist patients with benefit verification, prior authorization, and out-of-pocket cost estimates. HRC may offer multi-cycle packages, shared-risk programs, and financing through medical lending partners — patients should ask about these options early in the consultation process.

Each location has its own physician team and laboratory.
Does California mandate IVF coverage? California mandates coverage for infertility diagnosis and some fertility treatments but does not require most insurers to cover IVF. Patients should verify their specific plan benefits.
Is HRC inclusive of LGBTQ+ patients? Yes. HRC Fertility has been consistently LGBTQ+-inclusive and offers reciprocal IVF, donor sperm insemination, gestational surrogacy coordination, and all family-building pathways for same-sex couples, single individuals, and transgender patients.
How do I prepare for a first consultation at HRC Newport Beach? Patients should bring or request prior gynecological records, any prior semen analysis results, and a list of current medications.
