Center for Reproductive Health at Mission Bay
The UCSF Center for Reproductive Health offers a comprehensive array of infertility evaluation and treatment options for both men and women. All our doctors have extensive experience and are board certified in obstetrics and gynecology as well as reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

Our Outcomes
When choosing a fertility provider, people often try to compare programs based on success rates. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) recognize that direct comparisons between clinics may not be possible without considering the patient population and the practice. Rates may vary, for example, due to differences in the screening process before an IVF cycle or the number of embryos transferred.
We do recognize, however, that individuals and couples would like the assurance that they are choosing a "successful" program. You may view our success rates at crh.ucsf.edu/our-success-rates. We also submit our statistics yearly to SART. You may view these statistics online.
Please keep in mind that individual outcomes depend on a variety of factors. Questions regarding success rates are best discussed with your reproductive endocrinologist.
