Services
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF at SCCRM involves combining eggs and sperm in a lab to create embryos, which are then transferred to the uterus. Our advanced techniques, including preimplantation genetic testing, enhance success rates while minimizing risks. With over 30 years of experience, we prioritize single embryo transfers to ensure safe, effective outcomes for patients seeking to build their families.
Egg Freezing
Egg freezing allows individuals to preserve fertility for future use through vitrification, a rapid freezing method that maintains egg viability. SCCRMs program supports patients undergoing medical treatments, career planning, or personal delays in parenthood, offering expert consultation and cutting-edge lab technology to maximize long-term success.
Genetic Testing (PGT)
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) analyzes embryos for chromosomal abnormalities or inherited conditions during IVF. SCCRM uses PGT to improve pregnancy rates, reduce miscarriage risks, and guide personalized treatment decisions, leveraging our labs expertise in reproductive genetics and decades of clinical research.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI involves placing washed sperm directly into the uterus to facilitate fertilization, often combined with ovulation-inducing medications. SCCRM offers this minimally invasive option for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor issues, or cervical barriers, providing tailored protocols to optimize natural conception chances.
Surrogacy Services
SCCRM supports intended parents through gestational surrogacy, using IVF to create embryos transferred to a carrier. Our program includes comprehensive coordination, legal guidance, and medical oversight, ensuring ethical, legally compliant pathways to parenthood for individuals and couples unable to carry a pregnancy.

Dr. Anderson and staff are amazing. After just 1 round of IVF with a highly personalized treatment and I have a baby boy after I tried for 2 years. They are all professionals and do their job well without any hype, or fluff but everyone on his staff was super nice and made me very confident and comfortable. This is what I wanted as it's an emotional process as it is. I liked having him and the nurses as my rock to handle my endless questions and information seeking. I had 2 other consults in OC and could not seem to find this level of professionalism elsewhere. I know two other people who had success here as well.

Dr. A is absolutely amazing. He was highly referred by 3 different Urologists in 3 different regions of SoCal, all unaffiliated. It was a long road and difficult IVF journey, but thanks to him we have our beautiful daughter and in the coming months will be working on baby #2 with him. Honestly, the man is brilliant and I can't understand how someone can't see that just from meeting him.

They really need a better process. I called to get pricing yesterday and was told that the only way to get IVF pricing is to pay for a $275 consultation. I haven't heard this from any other clinic. PATIENTS WHO ARE PAYING OUT OF POCKET NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE COSTS ARE.

Dr Anderson is THE miracle doctor! I have a tough case and the doctors that I saw before him gave me little hope, but he never gave up on helping us build our dream family and we have now had two successful pregnancies thanks to Dr Anderson and his wonderful team! He is professional indeed and what I appreciate is that he is honest, he gives hope without sugar coating things. His personable side comes out once things move along and we have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with him.
He is a leader in the industry and I love that I can trust what he says and never feel like I need to myself crazy researching other protocols or information. His staff is absolutely wonderful, they are warm, thorough and genuinely caring. I have recommended several friends to Dr Anderson and they all have had success, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
