At Pacific Fertility Center Los Angeles, we have been setting the standard for fertility services since 1991. Our award-winning physicians have performed over 20,000 IVF procedures and introduced a number of innovations in the treatment of infertility.
Next to going through assisted reproduction, choosing the people to accompany you on the journey is the most important decision you’ll make. For 30 years, people have been choosing the Pacific Fertility Center of Los Angeles--one of the leading fertility clinics in the world. With success rates that are among the best in the nation, we’ve been a part of over 13,500 happy, healthy births, creating families, and making dreams come true all over the world.
One of the most accomplished physicians in his field, Dr. Sahakian has performed over 10,000 IVF procedures and is responsible for the birth of over 7,000 babies all over the world. He pioneered the most revolutionary financial program in modern medicine along with his colleagues. Because of PFCLA’s consistently higher success rates, the clinic was willing to assume financial risk in treating intended parents with infertility. This program has forever changed the way reproductive medicine is practiced.
Dr. Sahakian’s central focus is treating same-sex partners and anyone with social infertility. One of his proudest accomplishments is that he has helped hundreds of LGBTQIA+ couples achieve their dreams of having a family. The doctor also specializes in treating patients with advanced maternal age, including postmenopausal women seeking infertility treatment through egg donation. He is responsible for the oldest woman on record giving birth at the age of 67.
