About Coastal Fertility Medical Center

Coastal Fertility Medical Center is a comprehensive fertility clinic located in Irvine, California, specializing in advanced reproductive medicine for individuals and couples worldwide; with over 40 years of experience the center focuses on IVF, ICSI, egg donation, surrogacy, fertility preservation, genetic screening (PGT‑A/PGT‑M), frozen embryo transfer and personalized IUI protocols. The clinic offers more than 40 customized treatment cycles, an on‑site state‑of‑the‑art IVF laboratory led by a full‑time lab director, and an extensive egg bank with over 1,400 donors, while also providing gender selection, PCOS management and tubal reversal services. Its distinctive features include a multilingual team fluent in over 200 languages, LGBTQ+‑inclusive care, complete financial transparency with no hidden fees, and a one‑stop integrated model that streamlines every step from consultation to post‑treatment support. A globally recognized team of physicians—led by Dr. David Harari (President & CMO), Dr. Minh N. Ho (Medical Director), Dr. Kevin K. Oum (Laboratory Director) and other reproductive endocrinologists—holds weekly case‑review meetings to ensure multidisciplinary expertise, and the clinic consistently reports IVF success rates well above the industry average, especially in difficult cases previously deemed “hopeless.” Patient support includes dedicated care coordinators, insurance assistance, virtual appointments, free monthly seminars across Southern California, and continuous emotional counseling throughout the journey.
