Physicians and Clinical Team
SCCRM is led by fellowship-trained, board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who practice within one of Southern California's medically distinguished settings. The Hoag Hospital campus affiliation provides proximity to maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, genetics, and other specialty services. SCCRM's physicians have extensive experience in both standard IVF cycles and complex cases involving poor ovarian reserve, prior implantation failure, and advanced reproductive age. The clinical team includes embryologists, fertility nurses, and patient coordinators. The Newport Beach location serves a patient population that includes a high proportion of patients seeking elective egg freezing and age-related fertility concerns.

The lab team maintains rigorous quality metrics consistent with SART reporting standards.
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
Reviewers of SCCRM Newport Beach describe an upscale, welcoming practice environment consistent with the Hoag campus aesthetic. The Newport Beach location attracts patients who value the combination of clinical excellence and a pleasant physical environment. Reviewers note physician accessibility, organized scheduling, and a staff culture that is attentive and professional. The coastal location means easy access for patients from Irvine, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, and San Clemente who might find a Westside LA fertility clinic less convenient.
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 private insurers to cover IVF. SCCRM's financial counseling team can verify any applicable employer-sponsored benefits and provide itemized cost estimates. Orange County's healthcare, technology, and financial services employer base includes many companies that voluntarily offer fertility benefits.
Third-party financing is available through SCCRM's lending partners. HSA and FSA funds are applicable to fertility treatments. For patients interested in elective egg freezing, pricing for egg freeze cycles including medication is often estimated separately from IVF treatment cycles — ask for both at your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SCCRM perform egg retrievals on the Hoag Hospital campus? Yes. The Hoag Hospital campus location means that egg retrieval procedures are performed in a hospital-adjacent setting with immediate access to Hoag's anesthesia and medical support services — a level of backup rarely found at standalone fertility clinic buildings.
Is SCCRM a good option for patients who want elective egg freezing? Yes. The Newport Beach practice serves a significant number of patients pursuing elective egg freezing for age-related fertility planning. The physician team will provide a thorough ovarian reserve evaluation (AMH, antral follicle count) before recommending egg freezing and will give an honest assessment of what a freeze cycle can realistically preserve.
How is SCCRM different from other fertility practices on the Hoag campus or in Orange County? SCCRM is an independent specialty practice co-located with Hoag Hospital. The hospital affiliation provides clinical resources and environment but SCCRM operates as its own REI practice. It is distinct from any Hoag-employed fertility program. In Orange County's competitive fertility market, SCCRM differentiates itself through the hospital campus setting and a physician team with significant complex-case experience.
Can patients from Los Angeles County receive care at the Newport Beach location? Yes. South Bay, Torrance, Long Beach, and even Palos Verdes patients find that Newport Beach is a manageable distance, and many prefer the Orange County practices for logistical reasons. The 73 Toll Road provides a direct link from the 405 corridor.
