Pacific Fertility Center is guided by the highest ethical standards, providing patients with the best quality, individualized, and compassionate care. Uniquely, we have our own egg bank, the first independent frozen egg bank in Northern California, and a team experienced in surrogacy. We walk patients seamlessly through each step, right here on site, from the first physician appointment to your selection of an egg donor profile to embryo transfer. Our cutting-edge technology, highly trained clinicians and staff, and commitment to working closely and collaboratively with patients ensure that our patients achieve their family building goals. PFC has been an advocate for LGBTQ+ family building and is proud of the fact that we have helped so many of our patients create families. We believe that everyone should be able to build their family, their way.

We had a great medical outcome in the end, but the journey was plagued with errors, poor coordination and management on the part of the Fertility Clinic. This added a lot of stress and anxiety to ourselves (IPs) and our gestational carrier. The staff at PFC are all good people but they seem to be overworked / overwhelmed with the number of patients they serve.
