Our IVF Approach Is Different
Decades of Proven Results
Both of our fertility specialists, Dr. Michael Vermesh and Dr. Tannaz Toloubeydokhti, are double board-certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility, bringing a combined depth of experience that few practices can match. That expertise translates directly into outcomes: our IVF success rates consistently exceed national averages, including among patients 42 and older, a population that often faces the greatest challenges with conception.
Advanced Technology You Can Trust
Our IVF lab in Encino is fully certified by the College of American Pathologists and equipped with RI Witness technology, which uses radio frequency identification to track every sample throughout the process. This additional layer of precision reduces the risk of mix-ups and gives patients confidence that their eggs, sperm, and embryos are safeguarded at every stage.
Personalized IVF Options
No two fertility journeys are the same, which is why our Los Angeles fertility clinic offers traditional IVF, mini IVF, and natural IVF, as well as fresh and frozen embryo transfer. For patients with autoimmune conditions, we can also combine treatment with intralipid therapy to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy. Whatever your situation, your care plan is built around you.

What Is IVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method of assisted reproductive technology (ART). IVF can allow patients struggling with infertility to achieve their dreams of building a family.
During in vitro fertilization, eggs from the mother or donor are combined with sperm from the father or donor. Frozen sperm and eggs can also be used. The resulting embryo is transferred to the mother or surrogate's uterus. Any extra embryos can be frozen for use in another IVF cycle.

Types of IVF
Our fertility doctor in Los Angeles, CA, offers several types of IVF at our Los Angeles area clinics to meet your unique needs. IVF treatment options include traditional IVF, mini IVF, and natural IVF.
Mini IVF
Mini IVF is also known as minimal stimulation IVF. This means a lower dose of stimulation medications is used to produce fewer high-quality eggs. Typically, 1-6 eggs are collected during mini IVF.
Natural IVF
Natural IVF involves following the woman's natural menstrual cycle and retrieving only the egg or eggs her body naturally produces. Fewer medications are used than with other IVF methods.

Frequently Asked Questions About IVF
Q. I had egg freezing performed. Can I use my frozen eggs during an IVF cycle?
A. Many patients choose to undergo egg freezing as a fertility preservation method. Patients who have previously undergone IVF can also choose to freeze extra eggs or embryos for later IVF cycles.
Q. What's the difference between conventional fertilization and ICSI, and which will I need?
A. Conventional fertilization involves placing an egg in a petri dish and combining it with sperm, allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg on its own. This process is closer to natural conception. ICSI, in contrast, is often recommended when there is a male-factor fertility issue impacting sperm quality or motility. With ICSI, a healthy-looking sperm is chosen and injected directly into the egg. The best type of fertilization will depend on your unique situation.
Q. Are there any risks when undergoing IVF?
A. IVF is a safe and effective procedure, but it is not without risks. It is important for patients to understand these risks before undergoing treatment. In addition to standard surgical risks, there is also the chance of ectopic pregnancy, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and miscarriage.
