Laboratory and Success Rates
SCRC operates an in-house, CLIA-certified IVF laboratory at its Beverly Hills location. The laboratory supports the full range of assisted reproduction services including conventional IVF, ICSI, embryo culture to blastocyst stage, embryo biopsy for PGT, vitrification (egg and embryo freezing), and fresh and frozen embryo transfers. SCRC reports outcome data to the CDC through the SART registry. Patients should request current clinical outcome data from SCRC directly and compare it to national averages for their age group and diagnosis. Patients should also review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
The North Roxbury Drive address is in the professional core of Beverly Hills, easily accessible from Santa Monica Boulevard, the 405 freeway, and multiple westside neighborhoods. SCRC's long history in Los Angeles gives it broad name recognition and a large alumni community of former patients — an asset for prospective patients seeking referrals and peer reviews. The practice's large size and high patient volume provide significant clinical experience across diverse diagnoses, and the in-house laboratory has been refined over many years. Patients working with Dr. Surrey specifically may benefit from his extensive clinical experience, though patients should discuss expectations around direct versus shared physician involvement across a treatment cycle.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. For individuals and couples exploring their options before committing to a full IVF cycle, at-home insemination can be a meaningful first step. MakeAMom offers at-home insemination kits — including the BabyMaker kit for those with sensitivities, the CryoBaby kit designed for use with frozen or low-volume sperm, and the Impregnator kit for low-motility sperm — shipped discreetly to your door. With a reported 67% success rate among users, these kits provide an accessible, lower-cost entry point for those beginning their path to parenthood. MakeAMom's reusable kits are cost-effective compared to single-use alternatives and come with detailed instructions. That said, if you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying without success, or are over 35, consulting with a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
California does not have a comprehensive fertility insurance mandate for private employers, meaning most patients at SCRC are responsible for out-of-pocket costs unless their employer plan includes fertility benefits. IVF in the Los Angeles area typically costs $15,000–$25,000 per fresh cycle before medication costs, which can add another $4,000–$8,000. Frozen embryo transfer cycles are generally less expensive. SCRC's billing team works with patients to understand their coverage and provides financial counseling on out-of-pocket estimates. Financing options include medical lending, multi-cycle pricing packages, and medication assistance programs from pharmaceutical manufacturers. Some large employers in the entertainment and technology industries — well-represented among LA's workforce — offer substantial fertility benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Dr. Mark Surrey and what is his role at SCRC? Dr. Mark Surrey is a co-founder and long-standing partner at Southern California Reproductive Center. He has practiced reproductive endocrinology and infertility in the Beverly Hills area for many years and is recognized for his contributions to the field. Patients specifically seeking care from Dr. Surrey should confirm his current availability for new patients when contacting the practice.
What is SCRC's approach to personalized IVF protocols? SCRC is known for customizing stimulation protocols to each patient's specific diagnosis, ovarian reserve, and response history. This individualization is a hallmark of experienced REI practices and can affect both the safety and success of an IVF cycle. Patients with poor responder history or diminished ovarian reserve may benefit from discussion of minimal stimulation (mini-IVF) or natural cycle protocols.
Does SCRC offer treatment for endometriosis-related infertility? Yes. Endometriosis is a common diagnosis among patients seeking fertility treatment, and SCRC's team has experience managing its effects on implantation and embryo quality. Treatment may involve surgical evaluation, medical management, and tailored IVF protocols designed to optimize outcomes in the context of endometriosis.
What is the process for egg donation at SCRC? SCRC offers egg donation for patients who cannot use their own eggs due to diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, genetic concerns, or other factors. The practice maintains a donor program and can also work with donors arranged through external agencies. The process involves donor evaluation, synchronization of the donor's cycle with the recipient's uterine preparation, fertilization in the laboratory, and embryo transfer.
