Inside San Diego’s Most Trusted Fertility Center
At Reproductive Partners Fertility Center – San Diego (RPSD), we’re more than a fertility clinic— we’re a trusted partner on your path to parenthood. We believe fertility care should be more than clinical—it should be compassionate, collaborative, and completely centered around you.
Located in La Jolla, RPSD is widely recognized as the best fertility center in San Diego, offering leading-edge reproductive care with a deeply human touch. Patients often describe their experience as transformative—not only because of the success rates, but because of the way they feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
For over 27 years, our fertility clinic has combined medical innovation with a personalized approach to help thousands of individuals and families grow with confidence. RPSD was the first fertility clinic in San Diego to achieve a successful pregnancy from frozen eggs. Since then, we’ve remained at the forefront of egg freezing in San Diego, helping patients preserve their reproductive future on their own terms.
Our state-of-the-art embryology lab is equipped with advanced cryopreservation technology to ensure your eggs are preserved at their highest possible quality. With one of the most experienced lab teams in California, RPSD continues to deliver safe, effective, and individualized egg freezing care.
As a physician-founded and physician-owned practice, RPSD is nationally and internationally recognized for our team of double board-certified fertility specialists — Medical Director V. Gabriel Garzo, M.D., Jamie Stanhiser, M.D., M.S.C.R, and Li-Shei Lin M.D., Ph.D. — offering a depth of experience that’s matched by their compassion. Not only among the best fertility doctors in San Diego, they are also leaders in academic research, medical education, and innovation in IVF, egg freezing, and genetic testing. RPSD physicians collaborate with patients to create personalized, evidence-based fertility treatment plans grounded in compassion and clinical expertise.
From your very first consultation through every procedure, ultrasound, retrieval, and transfer, you’ll be seen by a physician who understands your unique story and is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. And at RPSD, there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all fertility treatment. Each care plan is carefully developed based on your unique needs, medical history, and vision for the future.
As pioneers of elective single embryo transfer (eSET), RPSD set a national precedent for safe, thoughtful IVF practices that prioritize both healthy pregnancies and long-term family goals. Today, we continue to lead with innovation while never losing sight of what matters most: patient-centered care.
Our full range of fertility services include:
RPSD has been named one of Newsweek’s Best Fertility Clinics and was voted Best Fertility Center in San Diego for 2025 by San Diego Magazine readers. Patients choose us not only for our results—but because we make them feel seen, supported and empowered.

Tips from the trusted experts at Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, and Electrical
San Diego summers can be brutal. But since the hottest period is typically late summer into early fall, San Diegans still have time to prepare. The pros at Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, and Electrical are standing by to help homeowners fortify their homes against the elements and ensure their air conditioning is as frosty as the penguins that serve as the company’s mascots.
Many homeowners underestimate the load their AC system faces, especially in the inland valleys where temperatures regularly top 100 degrees. San Diego regularly sees multi-day heatwaves each summer, and a system that struggles on the first day will likely fail by the third. Longer run times, unusual sounds or smells, and uneven cooling from room to room are all signs that your system may not survive the next hot spell.
Systems typically last 12 to 17 years, but there are exceptions. If a system is approaching that, or is already there, a professional evaluation is recommended before summer really heats up. A good rule of thumb: If you can’t remember when your system was last serviced, it’s due.
“As technology changes, systems become smarter and smarter,” says Sean O’Connor, an install manager at Mauzy with 42 years of experience. “There are a lot of people out there who will say a system’s only good for 10 years. I don’t buy that—these systems are built to last as long as they’re taken care of.”
There are also a few steps homeowners can take between services to extend the life of their system. Regularly changing a dirty filter—especially if you have kids or pets—and keeping an outdoor unit clean can help head off problems in the future, says O’Connor.
Also, be realistic about whether it’s time to replace a unit. O’Connor likens pouring money into salvaging a faulty unit with patchwork repairs and replacement parts to “tripping over a dollar to pick up a dime.” When one part fails, others are sure to follow, and newer parts may not be compatible with older units. Mauzy recommends homeowners use the 50% rule: If a repair costs more than 50% of the system’s replacement value, and the equipment is over 10 years old, replacement is usually the better long-term value. And don’t forget the ducting. An older house that was built with heat and later had air conditioning added may not have sufficient airflow, regardless of how good the system is.
Last but not least, homeowners should know who to trust when it comes to their homes. Built on three generations of professional integrity, Mauzy has grown into not just a leader for cooling, heating, plumbing, and electrical services, but a leader in the community known for supporting local nonprofits across an array of causes. To ensure complete peace of mind, Mauzy stands behind a comprehensive 12-point guarantee that outlines its commitment to outstanding service, quality equipment, expert technicians who understand how the local microclimates affect HVAC performance, and no upsells or surprises on the bill.
“We go the extra mile. That’s what sets us apart,” O’Connor says. To get a free quote today, visit mauzy.com.
