Fertility Testing
Comprehensive fertility testing for both men and women.
Fertility Consultation
During your first visit, your physician will review your medical history and outline the next steps.
In vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF is the most well-known and successful form of fertility treatment available.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI, or artificial insemination, is a very common non-surgical fertility treatment.
Genetic Testing
When preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is paired with IVF, it can increase the chance of a successful pregnancy.
Egg Freezing
Fertility preservation allows women to freeze their eggs to use at a later date.
Additional services include third-party reproduction, ovulation induction, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), fertility bloodwork, ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), saline sonogram, LGBTQ+ family building, and genetic testing for sex selection.

Patient Testimonials
Whether you're from downtown San Francisco, San Jose, Walnut Creek, Oakland, Sunnyvale, or Berkeley, we've worked with patients from your hometown. Hear real-life stories from patients who've experienced success at RMA firsthand.
Rebecca and Warren met with a fertility specialist at a different clinic where they did not feel at home. After sharing their experience with family they learned that a few of them had gone to RMA and had amazing experiences. They made an appointment with Dr. Kaser in San Francisco and instantly felt a connection with him. Rebecca’s IVF cycle was success soon after. “I’m so glad we tried so hard. This is just such a gift and it’s like the universe just aligned,” Rebecca says.
