Los Angeles Reproductive Center

What Los Angeles Reproductive Center does

Los Angeles Reproductive Center (LARC) is a privately held fertility practice operating two clinical sites in Southern California (Encino headquarters and Bakersfield) under the Ivy Fertility Services, LLC umbrella. The practice provides a full spectrum of reproductive endocrinology services, including standard and Gentle IVF, IUI, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), egg freezing, egg donation, gestational surrogacy coordination, male infertility procedures (TESE, PESA, Micro-TESE), oncofertility, LGBTQ+ family building, and gender selection. Its core technical asset is a full-service IVF laboratory equipped with electronic witnessing and sensor monitoring platforms, staffed by expert embryologists and accredited under CAP/TJC and CLIA standards; the practice carries the 2025 REI Protect Seal of Approval.

The practice is led by co-founders Dr. Marc Kalan and Dr. Nurit Winkler, both double board-certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility. LARC operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a direct-to-consumer website and blog, social media presence on Instagram, the Ivy Fertility online booking platform, in-network relationships with major commercial insurers and fertility benefit managers (Blue Shield, Blue Cross, Aetna, United Healthcare, Progyny, Winfertility, Maven), and partnerships with patient financing lenders (LendingClub, Sunfish, CapexMD) for self-pay conversion.

LARC monetizes through per-cycle and per-procedure unit pricing (IVF cycles $12,400–$21,945; IUI $1,750–$2,425; embryo transfer $4,500–$5,025; surrogacy coordination $7,300–$12,150) under a professional services revenue model. The clinic draws roughly half its demand signal from a sizable international patient base traveling from over 30 countries, supported by multilingual staff and travel coordination, making medical tourism a structurally important revenue channel alongside its Southern California domestic book of business. No funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investor relationships were disclosed in the input data.

1. Fertility Treatment Services: Revenue generated from a comprehensive suite of fertility treatments including IVF cycles, IUI procedures, egg freezing, embryo transfer cycles, genetic testing, embryo freezing and banking with donor eggs, surrogacy coordination, egg donation services, and male infertility treatments. Treatment costs vary significantly based on the specific service and protocol, ranging from diagnostic testing to full IVF cycles.

Emerging players

• Mate Fertility: Emerging tech-enabled fertility clinic chain with transparent pricing and a more modern consumer experience. Overlaps with LARC in IVF/IUI services but targets a younger, more cost-sensitive patient segment with a different brand positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Shady Grove Fertility (US Fertility): Largest U.S. fertility network operating dozens of clinics across multiple states. Competes for the same employer-sponsored fertility benefit patients (e.g., Progyny members) but at significantly greater scale than LARC.
• Prelude Fertility: National network of fertility clinics and egg-freezing programs (parent of several regional brands). Comparable IVF and fertility preservation offerings, with substantially larger operational footprint and capital base.
• Boston IVF: Established fertility practice with multiple Northeast locations offering IVF, PGT, and LGBTQ+ family building. Comparable academic-quality reproductive endocrinology positioning with broader regional coverage.
• CCRM Fertility: National fertility clinic network with multiple U.S. locations offering comprehensive IVF, genetic testing, and fertility preservation. Broader geographic reach and scale than LARC, but overlapping service lines and target patient profile.

Direct peers

• California Fertility Partners: Los Angeles-based fertility clinic offering IVF, IUI, egg donation, surrogacy, and LGBTQ+ family building. Operates in the same geographic market with overlapping services and a similar premium patient mix, making it the closest head-to-head competitor to LARC.
• HRC Fertility: Long-established Southern California fertility practice (Encino/Pasadena/others) offering IVF, PGT, egg donation, and surrogacy. Directly comparable in geography and service breadth; now part of the US Fertility network, giving it greater scale than LARC.
• Pacific Fertility Center: San Francisco-based fertility clinic providing IVF, egg freezing, and LGBTQ+ family building. Comparable service portfolio and California-based premium positioning; competes with LARC for Northern California and international patients traveling for care.
• Reproductive Fertility Center (California): Southern California fertility clinic offering IVF, IUI, and third-party reproduction services. Directly comparable single/dual-location fertility practice with overlapping target patient segments.
