Committed to Breaking Barriers, Creating Families


Egg donation, surrogacy, gestational carrier, embryo donation – all have become accepted means to treating special fertility challenges. Yet many couples hesitate to pursue third-party parenting because it is a newer, more complicated process. Our commitment:

– RSC pledges its support throughout the process, from providing referrals for the best agencies for donors, surrogates, and gestational carriers, legal and psychological support, and coordinating the finest care for all involved. 

– RSC doctors realize the physiological and psychological concerns of all prospective parents are pretty much the same. RSC considers procreation a natural human desire and parenting a fulfilling spiritual experience. 

– The June 2008 California Supreme Court decision to allow gay couples to marry only strengthened RSC’s commitment to provide the finest fertility care available to gay and lesbian families from California and abroad. 

– RSC agrees with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine ethics committee’s statement that it is their “ethical duty to treat single persons and gay and lesbian couples equally with married couples... we find no sound ethical basis for licensed professionals to deny reproductive services to unmarried or homosexual persons.

Attain IVF Program

IVF Finance Options for 2010

For qualified patients, RSC offers a refund program in which patients pay a flat fee for up to three stimulated IVF cycles and three frozen embryo transfers. Unlike other refund programs, the IntegraMed Attain IVF Program defines success as taking a baby home, not getting pregnant. If you complete the program and does not take a baby home, 70 percent to 100 percent of the fee is refunded, preserving resources for other family building options.

Attain Multi- Cycle Program

The Multi-Cycle program lowers your IVF costs for greater treatment access. You pay one single discounted fee (less than the cost of two fresh IVF cycles) for up to four treatment cycles: two fresh IVF cycles and two frozen embryo cycles.  And all who apply are eligible; there is no denial based upon clinical criteria or age.

Experience Never Mattered More

More than 4,000 IVF babies since 1984
If you’re one of the 7 million Americans facing infertility, chances are your journey has not been easy or short. Most likely you’ve spent months or years pursuing pregnancy through natural means, intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). If so, we cheer your persistence. Persistence and determination mean a lot to us. Our own journey began more than two decades ago, when our first successes made medical history as some of America’s first “test tube babies.” It was October 26, 1986, when little Travis McCullar of Tracy became only the second baby in the United States born from a frozen embryo.
