    December 15 update—this entire clinic is wonderful! All the doctors, nurses, and staff are excellent! Dr. Royster is amazing! I highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Royster for IVF. We underwent two rounds, and the first transfer implanted successfully. Stay focused and believe you will succeed! The photo shows weekend nurse Joan, who is wonderful. She is gentle and caring like a grandmother, and I was overjoyed when she told me I was pregnant! Other recommendations: Marisa Peer's book Trying to Get Pregnant (and Succeeding), acupuncture, and journaling or talking to your baby as if the baby were already here. I have heard people at other clinics say they see a different doctor at each appointment, but that was not my experience. Dr. Royster saw me every time except for one Sunday check. The clinic staff are very kind and genuinely care. Once, I contacted them with a question after hours, and Dr. Royster called me back in under 10 minutes. This place is truly wonderful.

    I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Royster and the entire SCCRM team. Dr. Royster is knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and compassionate. He guided me through every step of the process and answered every question. Although he is always busy, I never felt rushed, and he took time to listen to all my concerns, no matter how small. The office staff and nurses were also outstanding—friendly, professional, and available whenever I needed them. I appreciated how responsive they were by phone, which made a stressful process easier to manage. I highly recommend Dr. Royster to anyone facing fertility concerns. He is not only a first-rate doctor but also a kind, understanding person who genuinely cares about his patients.

    Dr. Anderson and Dr. Royster are miracle workers! Now that our journey has reached a happy conclusion, I want everyone to know how wonderful it was, all thanks to everyone at SCCRM. Effective planning and communication by the office and medical staff made the entire IVF and surrogacy process very straightforward. Although we sometimes felt stressed or afraid, everyone made us feel supported. I highly recommend SCCRM. Thank you, Dr. Anderson and Dr. Royster, for making our dream of having a family a reality.

    Dr. Royster is wonderful. He is innovative, attentive to detail, has an excellent bedside manner, and responds to every question with patience and kindness. After each milestone in our IVF process, he took time to call us, even on weekends or in the evening. I never had to wait for an answer or wonder how things were progressing. Joan Moody is also wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about my experience at SCCRM. They go above and beyond to make you comfortable, and their approach is innovative and unique, using cutting-edge science. You will be in good hands with Dr. Royster and his team.

    For years, I moved between clinics and experienced countless heartbreaks and failed IVF attempts. Finally, with Dr. Royster at SCCRM, I found hope and genuine success. From my first visit, I knew I was in the right place. The clinic is in a beautiful, peaceful area, and the entire experience was unlike anything I had encountered before. Although I live in Florida, I travel to California for every procedure because it is absolutely worth it. After years of disappointment, my first IVF cycle at this clinic gave me my first child, and now my second cycle has resulted in my second pregnancy. Two children in two attempts. That says everything. Dr. Royster is not only highly skilled but also one of the most compassionate and genuine doctors I have ever met. He is patient, explains everything clearly, and truly cares about your outcome. We formed a friendship during this experience, and I am deeply grateful for everything he has done for me and my family. If you are considering in vitro fertilization (IVF), do not hesitate—Dr. Royster is the doctor for you. This clinic gave me the family I had always dreamed of.

    Dr. Royster is outstanding! We highly recommend him. He accomplished what the best doctors at Cornell could not. He explains everything in detail, gives patients his time, and works with you to help ensure success.

    Dr. Anderson and Dr. Royster are amazing. I heard many people say Dr. Anderson is not warm and friendly, but I found him humorous, practical, and dependable. He has extensive experience, so his manner is serious. Nurses Joyce and Krista are very kind and understanding. They are all excellent. Thanks to them, we have a son.

    Dr. Royster is truly a top doctor. This was our second IVF cycle, so we had certain expectations, and the clinic fully met them. We greatly appreciated the high-quality care and attention to detail. We would return without hesitation and hope to come back again in the future!

    Dr. Royster is amazing! He is very attentive, has an excellent bedside manner, and is patient. He knows what he is doing and makes you feel comfortable. Every procedure under his care was easy and painless, and everything went smoothly. So far, we have successfully completed one uterine transfer, and now we are trying for a second.

    Molly at the front desk is extremely rude. Every time I call or visit while she is working, she is impatient with me. She never lets me finish speaking and acts condescending.

    We were very disappointed with Dr. Royster’s service and treatment. We spent approximately $30,000 on one unsuccessful IVF cycle. About 10 eggs were retrieved, only one reached day 5, and it was aneuploid. In addition, we transferred 3 embryos, none of which survived thawing. After extensive research, we found the reason. My wife has diminished ovarian reserve, but the doctor did not account for this. He followed a standard protocol that prioritized quantity over quality. Please do your own research before undergoing IVF. This clinic uses a robotic approach to patient treatment.

    I had an excellent experience at SoCal Fertility, especially with Dr. Royster. From the moment I began my IVF journey, Dr. Royster demonstrated professionalism, patience, and extensive knowledge. He carefully explained every step, answered all my questions in detail, and made me feel comfortable and supported throughout. The SoCal Fertility staff were also kind, efficient, and highly responsive, making scheduling, communication, and visits smooth and easy.

    We cannot thank Dr. Royster and the entire team at SCCRM enough for their incredible support during our IVF journey. Dr. Royster is a true expert—thanks to his precise protocol, we successfully retrieved 19 eggs, which resulted in 7 high-quality EXBL embryos (AA/AB grades). This exceeded all our expectations! ​A special shoutout to Joecy and Michael. They are an amazing support system. Joecy is incredibly organized and always kept us informed, while Michael’s responsiveness and care made the stressful parts of the process so much easier to navigate. They truly treat you like family, not just patients. If you are looking for a team that combines top-tier medical expertise with genuine compassion, look no further than Dr. Royster, Joecy, and Michael!

    Dr. Royster is absolutely amazing! My husband and I gladly drive from Pasadena for every appointment because he and his team are outstanding. He is patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. He always takes time to call and answer every follow-up question I have—and I have many. Thanks to his dedication, expertise, and skill, our first IUI was successful, and I am now five months pregnant with our daughter. I highly recommend Dr. Royster and the entire SCCRM team. We are very grateful for their care!

    I had a wonderful experience at SCCRM with Dr. Royster! I had a new-patient consultation that included a baseline ultrasound. I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout. Appointments like this can be nerve-racking, especially when you may learn something unexpected, but the entire process was calm and supportive. Dr. Royster answered all my questions and explained everything thoroughly in clear, understandable terms, even for someone without a medical background. His kind, calm manner was reassuring and helped me relax during the visit. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would recommend Dr. Royster without hesitation to anyone seeking reproductive healthcare!

    We found this clinic through a cousin's recommendation and are very pleased with how they work. Our physician is Dr. Royster, who is calm and kind. He personally sees us at every visit unless we need a Sunday appointment. Even then, the female doctor on Sunday duty is very friendly and funny. From consultation through treatment, he has made the entire process easy to understand. The clinic staff are also friendly, and everyone does their best to help and provide excellent service. The finance team quickly checked our insurance coverage and does everything possible to bill insurance within the plan's limits because treatment can be expensive for patients. We are still undergoing treatment but hope to have good news soon. Regardless of the outcome, this clinic is far better than the one our insurer initially recommended. Be sure to do your research and tell your primary care physician which doctor you want so they can connect you with your preferred IVF specialist. Based on my experience so far, I highly recommend SCCRM!

    I have tremendous respect for Dr. Royster and the entire SCCRM team and would recommend them to any friend or relative seeking fertility treatment. I underwent two IUIs and two IVF cycles, followed by one embryo transfer that resulted in pregnancy. During those more than ten months, I felt that a supportive team was always beside me and was as committed as I was to doing whatever it took to achieve our goal of building a family. Dr. Royster is knowledgeable and professional and, most importantly, very kind. He is genuinely compassionate and was extremely helpful throughout, from ultrasounds and phone calls to every decision. I felt fully supported and that each step was tailored to my specific circumstances. I also had a wonderful relationship with the nursing team—special thanks to Daisy, Doris, and Joyce. I would almost look forward to doing it all again if it meant working with them!

    My husband and I will always be grateful to Dr. Royster, the nurses, and the front-desk staff at SCCRM. Infertility treatment is extremely time-consuming, expensive, and painful, but the SCCRM team made our journey to parenthood remarkably smooth. The staff were supportive, responsive, and kind. The nurses and doctors were efficient, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. We cannot say enough good things about this clinic. If you are interested in fertility treatment, I highly recommend it. We graduated today and are now 10 weeks pregnant with our first baby! Thank you so much, Dr. Royster and the entire staff. Words cannot express our gratitude! —Haven and Denahi

    After two years of trying to start our family, including three unsuccessful attempts at home, we were introduced to Dr. Royster this past January. We are so grateful we were! His entire team took incredible care of us. They were thorough, timely, and made every step of the process feel seamless, from managing our testing and treatments to coordinating the donor shipment. Thanks to their expertise, our first IUI procedure was a success! We are overjoyed to be expecting our little one this November. A huge thank you to Julia, Cristi, Joan, and Dr. Royster for your support—we couldn’t have asked for a better team!

    This was an excellent experience with knowledgeable and caring staff. I felt very well cared for during my most vulnerable time. The nurses patiently and thoroughly explained how to use the medications. Highly recommended!

    Our experience with Dr. Royster was excellent from start to finish. One of this clinic’s greatest strengths is how caring, patient, considerate, and supportive everyone is throughout IVF treatment. Dr. Royster is knowledgeable and compassionate and always explained each step carefully, giving us confidence in the treatment plan. He created a calm, reassuring atmosphere that helped us feel at ease during what could otherwise have been a very stressful process. Nurse Joan was also wonderful. She was attentive, approachable, and always made us feel heard and supported. Her warmth and professionalism greatly eased the natural anxiety of fertility treatment. The nursing staff, Krista and Anna, deserve special recognition for making the most difficult part of IVF manageable. They thoroughly explained all medications, injections, timing, and precautions, which was extremely helpful. When I returned home, I felt prepared and confident rather than overwhelmed. Their detailed guidance and patience in answering every question made the process much easier and less stressful. Thanks to this outstanding team, our first IVF cycle was successful. We are deeply grateful for their care and expertise.

    我对罗伊斯医生的就诊体验非常好。我们的初次预约是我在诊所就诊以来最有收获的一次。 之前我们住在德克萨斯州时，我在那里做过不孕不育治疗。在与罗伊斯医生的线上问诊中，我很快意识到，我在德州的诊所并没有向我透露一些我认为很重要的信息。不用说，这次问诊中我们了解到的一些情况让我和我丈夫都感到震惊。 遗憾的是，我给这家诊所三颗星的原因并非诊所、医生或工作人员本身，而是他们使用的实验室。我们很幸运，保险涵盖了大部分的不孕不育治疗费用。然而，在与这家诊所沟通时，他们告诉我他们的实验室不在我的保险网络内。令人遗憾的是，我的保险在不孕不育治疗方面非常慷慨，却不涵盖网络外的不孕不育治疗费用。当我们收到实验室的账单时，我们不得不做出艰难的决定，去另一家保险涵盖实验室费用的诊所。需要说明的是，这家诊所本身是保险覆盖的。 我知道大多数人需要自费，但我们的情况并非如此，所以想提醒大家注意。 如果不是因为化验出了问题，我们本来可以去看罗伊斯医生。他是一位非常优秀的医生，很遗憾我们无法见到他。

    我无法用言语表达我对这家生育诊所和整个团队的感激之情。感谢罗伊斯医生的悉心照料和精湛医术，我成功进行了两次胚胎移植，最终迎来了两个健康可爱的宝宝。我无比感激他们一路以来给予我的指导、关怀和支持。 罗伊斯医生知识渊博、体贴入微，总是耐心解答我的疑问，让我在整个过程中都感到安心。在这段充满挑战和情绪波动的旅程中，他让我感受到支持、希望和真切的关怀。 我还要特别感谢乔伊斯、黛西和莫莉。每次我来诊所，她们都热情友好、体贴入微。她们的温暖和真诚让我倍感温暖，每次就诊都让我感到舒适和安心。 我非常不舍地结束了在诊所的时光，我真心感谢每一位工作人员。 再次感谢你们总是面带微笑地迎接我。
