National Leaders in the Treatment of Infertility
With Fertility Centers Throughout Southern California
Many of our physicians and staff members at RPMG have been helping couples achieve their dream of completing their family for well over 20 years and are responsible for thousands of births resulting from assisted reproductive technology. This legacy of cooperation has produced techniques for developing individual treatment plans which result in a high level of success in even the most difficult cases. When you join the RPMG team as a patient, you will benefit not only from the expertise of a single physician but also from the combined knowledge and innovation of the entire group. At Reproductive Partners, we offer comprehensive evaluation and practical treatment of all aspects of infertility care in our conveniently located Southern California infertility treatment centers.
Reproductive Partners is nationally recognized for their pioneering work in helping infertile couples. The physicians and our IVF Program have been featured in publications such as PEOPLE Magazine, Redbook's "Outstanding Fertility Centers," Good Housekeeping's "Best Doctors for Women," Center for the Study of Services' "Guide To Top Doctors," and Castle Connolly's "America's Top Doctor's Guide".
Our History
While in Medical School, Dr. Meldrum developed an interest in infertility resulting from his wife Claudia's own difficulty conceiving. This led him in the direction of treating patients with infertility, as well as resulting in the birth of the Meldrum quadruplets. A sabbatical from ULCA in Australia in 1982 resulted in his learning the techniques of IVF.
In 1986 he moved his program to Redondo Beach where it evolved into the Center For Advanced Reproductive Care (CARC), now Reproductive Partners. Dr. Meldrum was joined by Dr. Wisot that same year. The Redondo Beach location serves as the main IVF laboratory facility for the Los Angeles and Orange County offices.
Dr. Gabriel Garzo joined Drs. Meldrum and Wisot in Redondo Beach in 1991. In 1995 he decided to return to San Diego and opened an office. Reproductive Partners - UC San Diego Regional Fertility Center was relocated to the current location in 1998. In 2003, Dr. Sanjay Agarwal, Clinical Professor of Reproductive Medicine at UCSD joined Reproductive Partners - UC San Diego Fertility Center.
At the same time, Dr. Yee established University Infertility Associates (UIA) at the Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, which affiliated with CARC in 1995 and merged into Reproductive Partners in 1998. Drs. Greg Rosen and Dr. Denise Cassidenti joined Dr. Yee at University Infertility Associates in Long Beach. Dr. Cassidenti is one of the first women board certified as a Reproductive Endocrinologist in greater Los Angeles and Orange County. Dr. Rosen started a Burbank/Glendale satellite office of UIA which relocated to Beverly Hills to become RPMG's Beverly Hills current office.
The Westminster office opened in November 2006 as a result of the relocation of RPMG's original Long Beach office. Both the Redondo Beach and the Long Beach offices were both among the first IVF centers in California.
Dr. Alex Steinleitner, an affiliate of RPMG, is the Central Coast's only Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialist with his office in San Luis Obispo.
