Southern California Reproductive Center (SCRC) operates a Pasadena location at 625 S Fair Oaks Ave, Suite 125, serving patients in the San Gabriel Valley and eastern Los Angeles County. SCRC is a multi-location fertility group with additional offices in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, allowing patients to begin care at one site and continue monitoring or procedures at whichever campus is most convenient on a given day. The Pasadena office extends SCRC's reach to communities including Arcadia, Monrovia, Alhambra, San Marino, Altadena, and the Foothill communities that would otherwise face a long commute to Westside locations.

Physicians and Clinical Team
SCRC's physician team consists of board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who see patients across the group's multiple locations. This multi-site model means patients benefit from the collective expertise of a group practice — including subspecialty depth in male infertility, preimplantation genetics, and donor egg programs — while being able to access monitoring services at a location convenient to their home or office. The clinical team across all SCRC locations includes experienced fertility nurses, genetic counselors, andrologists, and embryologists.

Laboratory and Success Rates
SCRC centralized laboratory operations support the group's multiple clinic locations. Egg retrievals and transfers at the Pasadena location are supported by the shared embryology infrastructure. Patients should ask at consultation which physical laboratory location their embryos will develop in and what quality benchmarks the lab reports. 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
The Fair Oaks Ave location in Pasadena is convenient for San Gabriel Valley patients who previously faced a 30–60 minute drive to Westside fertility clinics during peak Los Angeles traffic. The office is accessible from the 110 Freeway and the 210 Freeway, and Pasadena's Gold Line Metro station is within a reasonable distance for patients using public transit. The multi-location SCRC model means patients who occasionally need to be in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica can complete monitoring appointments at those campuses rather than driving across the city. Surface parking and nearby structures make the Pasadena location easy for patients with cars.
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, though many large California employers — particularly technology companies and healthcare systems — voluntarily include fertility benefits. SCRC is experienced with navigating California insurance plans and can assist with prior authorizations. Patients without employer fertility coverage should ask about the self-pay pricing for IVF cycles, monitoring, and medications, as well as available financing options. Multi-cycle packages and shared-risk programs may be available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do monitoring appointments at Pasadena and procedures at another SCRC location? Yes. One of SCRC's key advantages is the flexibility to mix monitoring at one campus with egg retrieval or transfer procedures at another, depending on scheduling and clinical logistics. Confirm the specific arrangement with your care coordinator.
Does SCRC in Pasadena handle donor egg cycles? Yes. SCRC has an established donor egg program including both fresh and frozen donor egg options. Recipients can coordinate their cycle from any SCRC location.
How do I choose between SCRC's Pasadena, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica offices? All offices share the same physician team and clinical protocols. Most patients choose based on proximity to home or work. The Pasadena office is best suited for patients in the San Gabriel Valley; Beverly Hills and Santa Monica serve the Westside and coastal communities.
Is SCRC experienced with male factor infertility? Yes. SCRC offers semen analysis, sperm banking, and coordination with reproductive urologists for cases involving azoospermia, low sperm count, or sperm DNA fragmentation.
