Fertility & Surgical Associates of California

What Fertility & Surgical Associates of California does

Fertility & Surgical Associates of California (FSAC) is a multi-location reproductive endocrinology and infertility practice serving Southern California from three clinics in Thousand Oaks (headquarters, with on-site IVF laboratory and surgery center), Encino, and Santa Monica. Founded in 1999 and operated as part of the First Fertility network, the practice is staffed by five board-certified reproductive endocrinologists (Drs. Buyalos, Hubert, Shamonki, Mehr, and Dhesi) plus a PhD-led embryology team, and it provides a full clinical stack: IVF with ICSI, comprehensive preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-P), IUI, elective and oncology-related egg freezing, LGBTQ+ family building (reciprocal IVF, donor gametes, gestational carrier coordination), fertility testing, reproductive surgery, and third-party reproduction. AAAHC accreditation, SART membership, and inclusion on "America's Best Fertility Clinics for 2026" anchor the practice's clinical positioning.

The underlying technology is a state-of-the-art IVF laboratory with PhD-credentialed embryology leadership, supported by digital patient infrastructure (IMS Care patient portal and mobile app, PersonaPay online payments) and an integrated specimen logistics layer via the CryoFuture partnership for long-term cryostorage. Patient-to-clinic engagement is consultation-led (full one-hour initial consults), with virtual consultations for inbound and international patients, and in-person visits required for procedures.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis: per-cycle professional fees for IVF, IUI, egg freezing, PGT, and reproductive surgery, billed separately from medications, lab work, and cryostorage. Payer mix spans commercial insurance (Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Cigna, United), employer fertility-benefit platforms (Progyny, Carrot, Maven, WINFertility), a transparent self-pay discount product (Fertility Access Initiative: $2,000 off IVF Freeze All, $1,300 off egg freezing), and credit-financed self-pay via PatientFi and CapexMD (up to $50,000-$60,000). Customer concentration is de minimis at the individual patient level; segment mix covers heterosexual couples, LGBTQ+ patients, oncology fertility preservation, women over 35, and international patients.
