Methodology

The free grade on this page contains zero zReports judgment: it maps the state's own published licensing and enforcement verdicts through one fixed rule, applied identically to every fertility clinic in America. Where the record and public reputation diverge, a highly reviewed facility with serious findings on file, the paid Consumer Intelligence Report™ surfaces it through the composite Consumer Z Score™ and our published ten point methodology. Facilities are never contacted and cannot pay to change a score. Read the full methodology →

About fertility clinic licensing in California

Fertility & IVF Clinics in California are overseen by the state's licensing authority, whose certification, inspection, and quality-reporting data is published on the public record. This page is computed from CDC National ART Surveillance System (NASS) clinic success-rate data, the government’s own filings, not reviews or advertising.

Frequently asked questions

How many fertility clinics are there in California?

California has 77 active licensed fertility clinics on the state's public file, across 44 cities. Every one has a free records layer grade on zReports.

Which California city has the most fertility clinics?

San Francisco, with 7 licensed fertility clinics, followed by Irvine (6) and San Diego (5).

How are California fertility clinic grades calculated?

The free records layer grade contains zero zReports judgment. It maps the government's own published verdicts, CDC National ART Surveillance System (NASS) clinic success-rate data, through one fixed rule, applied identically to every fertility clinic in the country. The paid Consumer Intelligence Report™ adds the composite Consumer Z Score™, which audits the record against public reputation through our published ten point methodology.

Why can a facility with 5-star reviews have a low grade?

Reviews and records are different surfaces. Reviews reflect what visitors chose to write, and can be managed by the business. Inspection and enforcement records are filed by the state, are mandatory, and cannot be edited by the facility. When the two diverge, the record is the surface worth checking. That divergence is exactly what zReports was built to surface.

How often are these rankings updated?

Rankings refresh whenever California republishes its licensing data; facility pages carry the records-verified date for each provider. This page was generated from the current file as of September 2026.

Can a facility pay to change its score?

No. Facilities are never contacted, never notified, and cannot pay to be listed, delisted, or re-scored. zReports has no business relationship with any facility it grades, independence is the product.
