Doctor Introduction

Dr. Shala Salem, United States


Professional Experience

Dr. Shala Salem graduated from UCLA with degrees in psychobiology and neuroscience, earned her medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine, and trained in obstetrics and gynecology at The Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York. She joined Pacific Reproductive Center in 2009.

She believes successful infertility treatment begins by integrating body and mind. “We achieve the greatest success when we work to help the whole person stay balanced. This requires not only effective medication, but also ongoing attention to nutrition, exercise, and emotional health. Maintaining balance requires active collaboration between patient and physician, whose first responsibility is to be an excellent listener.”


Areas of Practice

Dr. Shala recently completed a fellowship in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona under Dr. Andrew Weil. Integrative medicine evaluates how aspects of a patient's lifestyle, including stress, diet, and sleep, affect health. She enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, cooking healthy meals, crafting, and painting.

    When my partner and I first walked through the doors of Pacific Reproductive Center, we felt nervous, afraid, and uncertain about the future. For years, we had been told we could never have children of our own, and we had nearly lost hope. But from the moment we met the incredible staff at Pacific Reproductive Center, our outlook began to change. Dr. Sara Salem and her father are truly outstanding doctors who approached our journey with unwavering honesty and compassion. They never sugarcoated the process but always made us feel supported and cared for, even during the most difficult moments. Their commitment to guiding us at every step and keeping us focused on the light at the end of the tunnel was truly inspiring. Then there was Daysy, an angel who became our pillar throughout this roller coaster. She patiently answered every frantic call, email, and question, no matter how small or insignificant it seemed. Her kindness, empathy, and genuine concern for our well-being kept us calm and positive even when the journey seemed endless. The entire staff at Pacific Reproductive Center, from receptionists to the financial team, demonstrated unmatched knowledge, professionalism, and compassion. They treated every patient like family, offering steadfast support and encouragement at every step. Now, after two failed cycles, my partner and I are overjoyed to be expecting our first child together. It is a dream come true, and we owe it all to the incredible team at Pacific Reproductive Center. If you are looking for a fertility clinic that will provide the utmost care, respect, and compassion, Pacific Reproductive Center is the right choice. They will restore your confidence, fill your heart, and help you bring the miracle of life into the world.

    The best experience ever! Before going to Reproductive Fertility Center, I saw another fertility doctor and left feeling defeated and alone. I am so grateful I found Reproductive Fertility. Their staff are truly wonderful and helpful!!!! I am expecting my first child in March 2025! None of this would have been possible without them!!!!

    This company's office staff are, at best, extremely unprofessional and lack the experience or skills to communicate with someone by phone and answer questions. At worst, they are disrespectful and rude. Management appears to step in when staff are unable or lack the ability to resolve an issue, but is equally poor, if not worse. If communication fails, there is not even a way to determine how bad or good the service is.

    The staff were very friendly. I worked with Dr. Salem but saw her only about 3 times. I handled everything with my coordinator, Michelle. Everything went smoothly until my first failed cycle. Then they were no longer available and did not communicate as they had before. I had to follow up constantly, and they made promises they did not keep. I had a second transfer without success. Dr. Salem said she would have Michelle call me about further testing, but I never received a call. I had to email Michelle to tell her what Dr. Salem said would happen, but nothing happened. I should have recognized the warning sign earlier when Dr. Salem told Michelle to send me a list of supplements to begin taking. I never received it. Michelle merely said to take a prenatal vitamin for now and that she would send the list later, but no list was sent. I felt they had no hope that I would become pregnant, so they gave me many excuses. I had to email Michelle and tell her that I was trying to become pregnant, but their lack of follow-up and communication was making it difficult. Six months have now passed, and there has still been no follow-up.

    After three devastating miscarriages, undergoing IVF again was one of the hardest experiences we have faced emotionally, physically, and mentally. Having Dr. Sarah beside us made all the difference. Dr. Sarah is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled in her field but also deeply caring and compassionate. She never rushed appointments and always took time to listen carefully to our concerns and emotions. With her, we never felt like an ordinary case. She treated us like family and handled our weathered hearts with care. She guided us through every step with kindness, understanding, and empathy. During moments of fear and uncertainty, her calm presence and genuine care gave us hope and comfort. We are deeply grateful that she is our doctor and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone on this journey. She truly cares, and that means everything to us.

    We are so glad to have found such a wonderful, caring team. We could not have made it through this difficult period without them.

    The office staff are helpful and pleasant, but nothing exceptional. I completed fertility testing here and planned to begin IVF using my insurance. I had even worked very hard to obtain fertility coverage through my employer, and this was the first clinic I considered—a waste of time. Dr. Salem was not helpful, and I believe she was dishonest. I already knew I had a 4 cm fibroid on the outside of my uterus. Dr. Salem performed an ultrasound in May to examine my ovaries. She looked very quickly and incorrectly told me my right ovary could not be seen on ultrasound and therefore could not be used for egg retrieval. I have had many ultrasounds since developing the fibroid and was never told an ovary was not visible. Unlike previous doctors, she did not try adjusting the probe angle or repositioning my pelvis to view the right ovary. My insurance covers two retrievals, and I cannot help feeling that she wanted to exploit that benefit, hoping I would need two retrievals because I was “limited” to one ovary. I then sought a second opinion from Dr. Rosencranz at Reproductive Health and Wellness Center in Laguna Hills. Two weeks ago, he performed an ultrasound and said both ovaries were clearly visible and accessible for retrieval, and he counted follicles on both. He said the previous opinion reflected either inexperience or potentially predatory motives. Either way, I do not want such a doctor “helping” with my IVF journey. Infertility and a miscarriage have already caused my husband and me tremendous stress. Waiting three weeks for a second opinion while believing I could not use both ovaries was very difficult and upsetting. I am extremely dissatisfied with Dr. Salem's negligence and pray she does not mislead other patients who may know less about their bodies or be less able to recognize deception. Also, the price for embryo PGT is outrageous: up to $5,000, while other clinics charge $400 to $800 per embryo. I absolutely do not recommend this clinic. Go to Dr. Marcus Rosencranz in Laguna Hills. He is more experienced and charges more reasonable fees.

    No. If you truly want to become pregnant, find a better doctor quickly. This clinic is not suitable for patients with recurrent miscarriage because she does not know how to identify the root cause. She constantly pushes IVF and frightens you about your low AMH. Do not have an antral follicle count ultrasound here—I repeat, do not. She will give you an incorrect or low count. She spends only 5–6 minutes on the ultrasound, yet you pay $300 😂.
    Oct 16, 2025
    I would never give her even one star. I wasted my time and money. Many other fertility clinics care about you and do not make you waste money. I wasted money on an ultrasound—she charged me but spent only 5–6 minutes performing it. Another fertility specialist found the root cause. Dr. Salem constantly insists on IVF. She gives you the wrong follicle count and frightens you into thinking you cannot conceive naturally. The coordinator Michelle was also very slow and took a month to respond. Thank God they changed coordinators, but they need to change the doctor too. Please do not waste your money and time here. Both matter during your fertility journey.

    If you are looking for doctors and clinical staff who truly care about you and your baby, this is the place. Dr. Shala is amazing. She never gave up on me and always told me the truth rather than simply what I wanted to hear. I am a nurse myself, and I must say that Dr. Shala's ethics are exceptional; she genuinely cares about her patients! Nurse Daysy goes above and beyond. She calms my anxiety and always responds with understanding, even when I call feeling nervous. Daysy fully understands how I feel and the difficulties of living with polycystic ovary syndrome. She is definitely one of the clinic's best nurses. Another favorite nurse is Jennifer, who always makes me laugh and brightens my mornings. If you have been searching for a high-quality fertility clinic and doctor that truly cares, this is the right choice.

    I had a terrible experience with Pacific Reproductive Center. I contacted a coordinator to schedule a consultation, but she never responded, so I had to call the main office to reschedule. On the day of the appointment, it felt like ordering at a fast-food drive-through. Dr. Salem was clearly unprepared and obviously wanted to end the consultation as quickly as possible. She ‘reviewed’ my partner's records and said he looked fine. We need fertility treatment because he has certain issues, so that made no sense. I understand they may be busy and have many patients, but if you cannot take the time to speak properly with a prospective patient, do not accept the appointment—except, of course, they make plenty of money. Very disappointing. Do not waste your time or money.

    I do not recommend this clinic. I felt that Dr. Shalam did not truly help me become pregnant outside of IVF, which made the treatment options feel financially motivated rather than patient-centered. I was very disappointed with my overall experience with the clinic staff and care team. Communication was poor, follow-up was lacking, and staff sometimes seemed cold and insensitive. When I raised concerns, they even asked whether I had considered changing clinics, which felt unwelcoming and inappropriate. I became pregnant through intrauterine insemination (IUI), and I clearly stated that my main issue was maintaining a pregnancy, not becoming pregnant. Despite this, the clinic did not proactively offer additional support or medication. I had to advocate for progesterone, and even then the prescription was delayed. My hormone levels, including luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), were not monitored as they should have been. She also did not clearly explain the follicle count on my ultrasound, so I had to call the next day with more questions. When I requested progesterone injections, I waited over a week for a response—and ultimately never received the medication. Likewise, when I requested access to my medical records, it took repeated follow-ups before access was granted. I had been a patient at this clinic since November 2025 and experienced a missed miscarriage, followed by only one ultrasound. The lack of follow-up care during such a difficult time was extremely frustrating. Overall, I felt I had to continually advocate for treatment and that my care would not be prioritized unless I actively followed up. I regret not leaving sooner. If you are considering fertility treatment, I strongly recommend looking at other clinics.

    Their disregard for our time was extremely disappointing. My husband and I arrived on time but waited an hour before being called for our consultation. We wasted valuable time that we could have used for errands, and by the time the doctor saw us, the day was nearly over. This was the worst customer service we have ever experienced, and I will never return to this clinic. Many other IVF clinics offer far better customer service and attitudes.

    Unfortunately, my experience at Pacific Reproductive Center was terrible, even though some friends recommended it. They were extremely disappointed by the treatment I received there. One of the biggest problems I encountered was poor communication and a lack of professionalism, especially from my coordinator, Jennifer. Regarding my leave request paperwork, I was repeatedly told it would be sent, but there was a different excuse every day. Timely communication is essential during fertility treatment, especially while managing work arrangements and recurrent miscarriages, yet I consistently felt ignored and unsupported. I also found inaccurate information in my February medical records. On February 12, I texted about a faint positive pregnancy test 14 days after my IUI because I later began spotting and had a history of miscarriage, including chemical pregnancy. However, the record states that I “called” on February 20, which I did not. It also states that I checked the test several hours later and that it was “most likely an evaporation line.” This information is incorrect. The faint positive appeared within minutes of testing, and spotting began later that evening. Inaccurate medical records during infertility treatment are extremely concerning. As the problems escalated, I repeatedly asked to speak directly with Dr. Shala to address the issues with my coordinator, but I never received a response. I often felt my concerns were not handled appropriately. Several times, when I tried to report my concerns about Jennifer to other staff, they simply transferred me back to Jennifer herself rather than to a supervisor or doctor. In addition, despite multiple follow-up emails, my medical records were withheld for nearly two months, and many emails went unanswered. I ultimately filed a complaint through my insurance company and requested further investigation of my experience and the handling of my records request. Shortly after formally reporting the staff member's conduct and communication problems, I began receiving notifications that my coordinator had viewed my TikTok profile, even though I was not connected to her through any social media account. As a patient, I found this highly inappropriate and unprofessional, so I saved screenshots of the multiple notifications I received that month as evidence. Infertility treatment is already physically and emotionally exhausting. Patients deserve accurate medical records, professional service, transparent and timely communication, and to feel heard when they raise concerns. Unfortunately, I did not receive those things here, even though they could save you time and money.

    妇产科医生推荐我去这家诊所进一步评估我持续近一个半月的严重出血和月经不调的情况。起初,他们看起来都很真诚,和萨勒姆医生交谈时,她表现出了关心,并花时间了解我的情况。之后我们做了化验。我以为这家诊所会更好。 之后情况急转直下,詹妮弗一直没有和我沟通。她说要把结果上传到应用程序或者发邮件给她,为了以防万一,我都照做了。之后呢?我不断地打电话、发邮件、留言,但都没有得到任何回复。她那边也没有任何回应。我感觉自己被忽视了,越来越沮丧。 我的预约是在三月份。没有任何进展。詹妮弗也没有给我回电话。现在已经是六月份了。我厌倦了等待,厌倦了打电话和发邮件。我决定再找一家诊所,看看有没有合适的转诊单。 警告各位像我和我丈夫一样,正在经历漫长备孕之路的夫妇:千万不要被初次就诊时医生们的甜言蜜语所蒙蔽,他们总是说要帮助我们。结果却浪费了我们的时间、精力和金钱。我建议大家选择其他评价更好、更可靠的诊所。我后悔当初没有在预约前仔细阅读评价。 我建议贵诊所提高员工的沟通能力和时间管理能力。最好是多招些人手来协助诊所,提升服务质量。
    Jun 2, 2026
    我对这家诊所的经历极其失望。 我最初去那里是为了冷冻卵子,但几个月来,由于延误和沟通不畅,我决定放弃治疗。医生缺乏同理心,对我的担忧漠不关心,我感觉自己从未被重视。他们甚至让我在圣诞节长周末期间从尔湾开车到科罗纳,这无疑给本已艰难的治疗过程增添了不必要的压力。 最令人沮丧的是,仅仅拿到基本的化验结果就花了将近五个月的时间。冷冻卵子是一个时间非常紧迫的过程,等待这么长时间是完全无法接受的。整个过程中,沟通都很差,我常常感觉没有人承担责任,也没有人给我明确的答复。

    Thank you to the PRC team in Glendale for making my dream come true! The journey was not easy, but the team gave us tremendous support. We could not have done it without you.

    I cannot praise this fertility clinic enough. From the moment we entered, we felt kindness, professionalism, and unwavering hope. Every staff member, from the front desk team and coordinators to the doctors, went above and beyond to make us feel valued, heard, and cared for. Letty handled our finances and always greeted us with a friendly smile and supported us at every step. Dr. Salem is highly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate and explained every step of the process. Our coordinator, Daysy, was extremely helpful with anything I needed or any questions I had. She communicated clearly, responded promptly, and always ensured we felt supported through every stage of treatment. From day one, Daysy made us feel like more than patients; she treated us like family. Her warmth, attention to detail, and extensive knowledge provided great comfort during an extremely difficult time. The environment is also clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed to ease what can be an emotionally difficult journey. What truly stood out was how personalized everything felt. We were not just a number. We felt like partners in our care, which made all the difference. Jenny drew my blood and performed my ultrasounds without rushing and with great care. We are deeply grateful for the care this excellent team provided. If you are looking for a clinic that combines expertise with genuine compassion, this is the place. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone pursuing parenthood. In addition, parking at the clinic across the street is free for two hours! In a county like Los Angeles, that is a major advantage! ;)

    I will update this review with more specific details, but my experience with a financial counselor named Letty, or Leticia, was terrible. She made errors in my finances and became defensive when I asked her to correct them. She was rude and sarcastic and even hung up on me. What legitimate organization treats clients this way? Worse, I spent $21,000 and got nothing. My current clinic says this organization's financial operations rank among the worst in the country. I wish I had known before paying out of pocket here. Extremely disappointed.

    Dr. Salem is the most extraordinary doctor and person to our whole family! He helped us finally have our daughter, he was kind, listened and most importantly he got results that no other doctor did. I had been to 3 other doctors and had 5 rounds of IVF over years before going to Dr. Salem. In our first meeting her understood my situation better than the other doctors who had seen me for years. He came up with a plan that was different medications than I had taken. We got the best results in our first retrieval and he advised me do a small procedure/test before the transfer. I was hesitant but he listened to my concerns and took time to convince me it was wort it, I’m so glad he did, our first transfer resulted in our daughter. He took care of me for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and I only wish he would have been my OB he whole time. He is one of kind, and I can’t recommend him enough. Especially if you have been through it before and are not seeing results-change your doctor to Dr. Salem. There were a few times I saw his daughter too, she was amazing, very kind and very smart, she saw me for a few visits and helped me a lot! I would listen to his experience and advise always and only wish I went to him sooner. He was the Doctor of my husbands co worker who also had great results with him. Also his clinic was very competitive price wise and helped to make sure we got the most out of our genetic testing costs, the other clinics did not! Our daughter is 4 months old and I think of Dr. Salem every day and bless him ❤️

    Dr. Sara is wonderful. She is very honest and direct about everything, which I appreciate—no nonsense. Most of my interactions were with my coordinator, Dayse, who is truly amazing. She was very patient and understanding and responded quickly to my many questions. I know I drove her crazy, but she never made me feel that way. PRC is fortunate to have her. I have not yet had success in my IVF journey, but she is absolutely the reason I remain with them. I cannot praise her dedication and thoughtfulness enough. She was always positive and honest with us. Thank you, Dayse, for your love and support during this journey.

    Poor service. They took a break at 1:30 p.m. and did not return on time! More than half an hour!!!

    我很少写差评,但这次在这家诊所的经历实在令人失望。 我最初去那里是为了冷冻卵子,但几个月来,由于延误和沟通不畅,我决定放弃治疗。医生冷漠无情,对我的担忧漠不关心。我感觉自己从未被当作病人看待。 最令人沮丧的是,基本的化验结果竟然花了将近五个月才出来。冷冻卵子是一个对时间要求很高的过程,等待这么长时间简直无法接受。整个过程中,沟通都很差,我常常感觉没有人负责,也没有人能给出明确的答复。 更糟糕的是,尽管我因为这些问题选择放弃治疗,但我仍然不断收到账单,尽管之前已经延误了,服务也一塌糊涂。

    I had my initial consultation today. Dr. Salem was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. Honestly, based on the reviews here, I was a little nervous. I contacted Letty several times with insurance questions and to ensure they had everything needed to use the benefits provided by my employer. Letty answered all my questions well, and it was a pleasure to meet her today. I also met Daysi, who helped me plan the next steps and ease my nerves. I understand the negative reviews posted when expected results were not achieved. I can only share my own experience and my hopes as I begin this process with the team. Bonus points for celebrating International Women's Day today and giving flowers to every patient.
    Oct 5, 2024
    Besides the fact that they did not help us become pregnant... 1. Dr. Salem displayed a misogynistic attitude. He interrupted me before I finished asking questions during the consultation. I could tell I must have challenged his ego because he disliked being questioned about what he shared, even though I was only trying to understand and advocate for myself as a patient. I left feeling terrible. 2. Despite sitting down with the financial staff before any treatment to ensure it would be covered by insurance, they sent us a large surprise bill. At one point, Rita tried to charge me $300 for an ultrasound, then later said it was covered by insurance. Tina completely misled me, telling me she had spoken with my insurer and that I would not receive surprises, which was untrue. Communication was terrible, and they essentially deceived us. The only positive was Jessica, whom I believe is a nurse. She was very helpful, kind, and compassionate. She was wonderful.
    Sep 24, 2024
    Unfortunately, based on my experience with Dr. Salem, I cannot recommend this clinic. Our initial consultation gave us great hope, and he made pregnancy seem straightforward. Over time, however, I encountered several issues that left me frustrated and discouraged. I repeatedly had to remind Dr. Salem of my own medical history, which was concerning given the importance of individualized care in fertility treatment. After transferring to a new clinic, it became clear that his approach felt overly standardized rather than tailored to my specific needs. He often gave instructions without detailed explanations or discussion of alternatives, leaving me uninformed about my treatment. At times, the clinic staff also seemed unenthusiastic, with some acting as though they were simply waiting for the weekend. I understand that everyone has off days, but encountering this attitude while dealing with something as sensitive and emotionally difficult as fertility was discouraging. However, I want to acknowledge that our nurse coordinators, Tara and Akira, were kind and helpful throughout the process. I appreciate their support. Ultimately, I am relieved that I transferred to another clinic where I feel more supported and informed.
    Jul 22, 2024
    I had a wonderful experience with PRC during my fertility journey in 2023. Dr. Salem diagnosed several important issues my previous doctor had overlooked. I wish I had come here sooner. Our first round of treatment was successful. Communication was excellent. Even after I "graduated," I could call PRC, and they were happy to guide me. A million thanks to PRC, Dr. Salem, Tara, Rita, Akira, and Eiza!
    Apr 7, 2024
    Do not go here. They only take your money without transferring anything. They are unprofessional and dirty. The amount of unethical conduct I witnessed in one cycle was shocking. Listen to the reviews and go elsewhere. The doctor does not acknowledge you until you have spent $20,000 and failed. Once, he entered with a stranger and inserted a device as an experiment. He continued despite my objections. Do not go here.
    May 8, 2025
    I am very grateful for the exceptional care I received at PRC. After 3 Clomid cycles, 2 egg retrievals, and 1 embryo transfer, I am now 14 weeks pregnant with a baby boy due this November! This miracle would not have been possible without the center's incredible team. I want to be honest with future parents: infertility treatment is an extremely difficult journey. It is filled with disappointment, frustration, and emotional setbacks. It requires patience and resilience and pushed my emotions to the lowest point I have experienced. I wish every one of you lasting good fortune.
    Jun 18, 2025
    My experience with PRC was excellent. From the initial consultation through surgery, they were attentive, responsive, and extremely helpful. Daysy was outstanding—excellent and thoughtful, even responding to my messages outside working hours to make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend PRC!!!
    Sep 29, 2025
    I am very glad I chose Dr. Salem’s clinic for my IVF journey. Dr. Salem and all the staff are wonderful. Nancy is my care coordinator, and she always listens carefully and ensures that all my questions and concerns are properly addressed. She even checks email on weekends and replies immediately when I message her, making sure I am well and that there is no emergency. She is amazing! Thank you for taking such good care of me!
    Sep 17, 2025
    Terrible! After I waited 40 minutes, the doctor canceled the appointment because I was not interested in the more expensive procedures. The staff and nurses were wonderful. But do not go here. The doctor does not listen to or respect female patients.
    Sep 16, 2025
    Our IVF journey with Pacific Reproductive Center began in 2019 before the pandemic, so it has been a long one. My partner researched IVF clinics extensively, and we chose Pacific Reproductive Center based on Dr. Salem’s reputation and track record. We are very pleased with our decision. Dr. Salem is knowledgeable and experienced in every aspect of IVF. He is also approachable and considerate, which immediately put us at ease. Every procedure went smoothly, we received the best medical care, and the results were excellent. We worked with two coordinators, first Akira and then Daysy. Both were approachable, organized, attentive, and kind, making this complex process easier to manage. All other staff, including the nurses, anesthesiologists, and embryologists, were highly professional, helpful, and considerate. Overall, we felt they saw us not as clients or patients but as family, and that their true role was to help families. They are opening more offices to provide convenient access throughout Southern California.
    Dec 6, 2025
    Dr. Salem and his team were very welcoming. He identified problems I had not known about. I am glad I followed his advice, received treatment, and took the appropriate medications to improve my fertility. My condition improved, and I am now two months and one week pregnant.
    Mar 15, 2026
    The entire experience was terrible, from reception, hospitality, communication, and accommodations to professional standards. This clinic is extremely unprofessional and focused only on money. I completed two treatment cycles here, and both failed. There are many other fertility clinics available.
    Mar 15, 2026
