Pacific Reproductive Center

What Pacific Reproductive Center does

Pacific Reproductive Center (PRC) is a private, family-owned fertility clinic founded in 2000 and headquartered in Torrance, California, operating four clinic locations across Southern California: Torrance, Glendale, Irvine, and Corona. The practice provides a comprehensive suite of assisted reproductive technology (ART) services for individuals and couples experiencing infertility, with core offerings spanning In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Mini IVF, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET), Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), egg freezing, donor egg IVF, donor insemination, surrogacy coordination, and recurrent pregnancy loss treatment. PRC distinguishes itself through fully in-house embryology and genetics laboratories at each location, including what it claims to be the first in-house aCGH/PGT lab with 24-hour result turnaround, an EmbryoScope continuous embryo-monitoring system, and vitrification-based egg freezing.

The clinical practice is led by Medical Director and Chairman Dr. Rifaat D. Salem (MD from USC, PhD in Neuroendocrinology from UCLA, two NIH fellowships) and Fertility Specialist Dr. Shala A. Salem, who joined in 2009 and brought a fellowship-trained Integrative Medicine approach combining nutrition, acupuncture, meditation, and mental health support with conventional treatment. Patient segmentation spans LGBTQ couples, individuals and couples with infertility, women over 35, male-factor infertility cases, single individuals, women seeking fertility preservation, and cancer patients requiring fertility preservation prior to treatment.

PRC operates a sales-led, direct-to-patient go-to-market model with no enterprise or institutional distribution. Patients access services via phone-based or online appointment scheduling for in-person consultations at one of four clinic sites, supplemented by physician referrals, OB/GYN referrals, content marketing through the practice's blog and educational resources, organic social media presence (Facebook, Instagram), and earned media validation including recognition as one of Newsweek's America's Best Fertility Clinics 2023. Revenue is generated transactionally through per-cycle professional services pricing (IVF at $15,000-$20,000 per cycle, ICSI at $1,000-$5,000 per cycle, Mini IVF at $3,000-$7,000 per cycle), supported by a CapexMD financing partnership that offers fertility-focused loan programs. Per-cycle pricing, add-on procedures, financing services, and promotional discounting (e.g., a $3,000 egg-freezing discount for cash patients) constitute the primary revenue mechanics. No disclosed revenue, funding rounds, parent company, or institutional ownership are indicated; the business is described as family-owned with two generations of practitioners.

Products and services

• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Primary fertility treatment offered, involving ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilization, and embryo transfer to achieve pregnancy for couples and individuals dealing with infertility.
• Mini IVF Minimal stimulation IVF using lower doses of fertility medications combined with the patient's natural cycle, suitable for patients at risk of OHSS or with certain health concerns.
• Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Advanced technique involving direct injection of a single sperm cell into an egg to facilitate fertilization, primarily used for male factor infertility, low sperm count, or poor sperm motility.
• Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) Genetic screening of embryos before IVF transfer to identify chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders, including gender selection capabilities, performed in-house with rapid turnaround.
• Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Thawing and transfer of cryopreserved embryos for future pregnancy attempts, allowing hormone normalization and reduced OHSS risk, with reported success rates up to 60% for patients under 35.
• Elective Single Embryo Transfer (eSET) Transfer of a single high-quality embryo to minimize multiple pregnancies while maintaining optimal success rates, recommended for women under 35.
• Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation) Fertility preservation service allowing women to freeze eggs for future conception, using vitrification technology to prevent ice crystal formation and preserve egg quality for long-term liquid nitrogen storage.
• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Direct placement of sperm into the uterus to decrease sperm travel time to the egg, used for low sperm motility or unexplained infertility.
• Ovulation Induction Medication-based stimulation of egg production for women with ovulatory disorders, using oral or injectable fertility drugs.
• Donor Egg IVF Fertility treatment using eggs from a donor combined with intended parent's or donor's sperm, enabling pregnancy for individuals unable to produce viable eggs, with success rates of 40–60% per cycle.
• Reciprocal IVF Co-IVF arrangement where one partner provides eggs and the other carries the pregnancy, allowing both partners in same-sex female relationships to participate biologically.
• Egg Donation Program Program allowing fertile donors to donate eggs to help families achieve pregnancy, with comprehensive donor screening and compensation.
• Surrogacy Gestational carrier arrangement for individuals or couples unable to carry a pregnancy, including surrogate matching and medical coordination.
• Donor Insemination Fertility treatment using donated sperm for conception, available for single women, same-sex female couples, or couples with male factor infertility.
• Gender Selection Family balancing option using preimplantation genetic testing to select embryo gender, available for medical necessity or personal family planning.

• Semen Analysis Laboratory evaluation of sperm quality, count, motility, and morphology to assess male fertility potential.
• Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Treatment Specialized evaluation and treatment for couples experiencing multiple pregnancy losses, including diagnostic testing and targeted interventions.
