Affordable fertility care for Sacramento and Bay Area patients.

The cost of fertility services has been increasing in recent years. Many clinics are being acquired by corporations aiming to maximize revenue. California IVF is a private practice that strives to keep treatments affordable and enhance access to care.
We have contracts with most insurance providers. Patients often have coverage for their initial consultation and diagnostic testing, and some patients have coverage for more advanced treatments such as IVF.

Where science, compassion, and experience come together to build families.

At California IVF Fertility Center, our mission is simple — helping people grow families. For nearly two decades, we’ve combined cutting-edge fertility science with compassionate, personalized care to guide patients through every step of their fertility journey. Our team of dedicated specialists, embryologists, and support staff work together in a warm, family-like environment, offering advanced reproductive treatments, innovative research, and genuine support to help you achieve your dream of parenthood.

Our History

Founded in 2004 as California IVF: Davis Fertility Center, Inc., the clinic opened its doors after months of preparation and quality-control development.
Since then, we’ve:
  • Evolved continuously through process improvement and new technology.
  • Expanded to a modern facility in Sacramento (2590 Venture Oaks Way, Suites 102 & 103).
  • Formed a collaborative partnership with UC Davis Health System in 2011.
Our purpose-built facility features an in-house research lab, operating room, and a state-of-the-art air-filtration system—making it one of the most advanced embryology laboratories in Northern California.
We pioneered several milestones, including:
  • Genetic testing of embryos (since 2005)
  • Successful births from frozen oocytes
  • A unique donor-embryo program with near-perfect outcomes
These advancements have led to remarkably high success rates, allowing patients to achieve pregnancy faster and with fewer treatment cycles.

Our Success

Success at California IVF goes beyond positive pregnancy tests.
While our pregnancy rates are excellent, we also measure success by patient satisfaction—knowing that every individual feels heard, cared for, and respected.
Even when outcomes are challenging, we want each patient to leave feeling that they received expert treatment and genuine compassion.

Our Team

Our team is professional, caring, and genuinely passionate about helping patients succeed. We bring together experienced physicians and a highly credentialed embryology lab team in a supportive, family-oriented environment focused on exceptional care.

Innovation and Research at California IVF

Defining the future of fertility care, not just following it.

At California IVF Fertility Center, we don’t stop at using the latest technology—we help create it.
Our ongoing collaboration with UC Davis Health System and our in-house team of reproductive scientists allow us to translate academic discoveries into real-world improvements in fertility care.
Through continuous research, process refinement, and laboratory innovation, we’re redefining how fertility treatments are performed and improving outcomes for every patient we serve.

Advancing Science to Improve Outcomes

Our research program focuses on the biological factors that influence egg, sperm, and embryo quality—helping us enhance fertilization and pregnancy rates while maintaining safety and precision.
Key areas of study include:
  • Egg and embryo health: Examining how oxidative stress (ROS) and nitric oxide affect egg aging and embryo development to improve embryo viability.
  • Male fertility research: Investigating sperm proteins such as DEFB126 to better understand fertilization potential and refine ICSI and insemination techniques.
  • Embryo culture innovation: Using 3-D microscopy and spindle-formation monitoring to identify and support the healthiest embryos.
  • Laboratory excellence: Applying strict quality-assurance protocols and continuous performance evaluation to optimize success rates.

Collaboration with UC Davis

Our partnership with UC Davis Health System connects California IVF to one of the nation’s leading academic research institutions.
Working with experts such as Dr. Catherine VandeVoort, whose studies focus on egg maturation, embryo development, and environmental influences on fertility, we bring advanced laboratory insights directly into patient care—ensuring every treatment reflects the most current science available.

Continuous Improvement, Proven Results

From pioneering egg and embryo cryopreservation methods that led to live births to refining fertilization and culture systems, California IVF has consistently improved outcomes for patients who previously had little chance of success.
Every refinement, every study, and every breakthrough is driven by one goal: helping more people experience the joy of parenthood.

I absolutely love the staff at California IVF!!! Over 3 years ago we started facing our battle with fertility and received help from California IVF. Dr. Z and his staff were so supportive and helpful. Our first transfer was not successful,but we tried again and we had our daughter. Now 3 years later we are back at it again with our 2 remaining embryos. The staff remembered us right away and have been most helpful is starting up this process again.
