I am Dr. Sharon Moayeri, MD, MPH, MS, FACOG, an expert fertility specialist and gynecologist with nearly 20 years of experience. As the founder and medical director of OC Fertility® and OC Biogenix® in Newport Beach, California, I am double-board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, as well as Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG).

Remaining close to my hometown at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), I graduated with a double major in Biological Science and Cognitive Science, before continuing my education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where I obtained my Master’s degree in Public Health with a specialization in health policy, focusing on public health program development, implementation, and assessment.

Discovering my passion for working one-on-one with patients in a clinical setting, I returned home to Orange County at UCI School of Medicine to pursue my Medical Degree. I also completed an internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology, serving as administrative Chief Resident.

After Residency, I embarked on a journey to Northern California to undertake a Fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Stanford Hospital & Clinics. During this period, I was granted an Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) post-doctoral Research Fellowship at Stanford University Health Research and Policy Center, where I earned a Master’s degree in Health Services. My focus was on analyzing treatment outcomes, understanding economic influences on healthcare decisions, and measuring cost-effectiveness.

Shortly after returning to Newport Beach in 2009, I established my private medical practice, OC Fertility®. It represents the realization of my vision to offer personalized, patient-centered, and contemporary fertility care. All treatments incorporate the latest technologies, while ensuring a strong emphasis on our patient’s experience, creating a supportive and safe environment to collaborate with patients in achieving their family-building goals.

Over the years, I served as a reviewer for the esteemed American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) and Fertility and Sterility®, and have delivered lectures and authored publications on a range of topics including blastocyst embryo transfer, oncofertility, embryo genetic testing (PGT), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), fertility preservation, and cost-effective fertility services. I have also received numerous teaching and high patient-satisfaction awards.

In 2021, after nearly a decade of experience as a co-founder, partner, and Medical Director at a startup IVF Laboratory, I decided to embark on my own venture and launch OC Biogenix, an on-site IVF laboratory and surgery suite. Bringing together the OC Fertility + OC Biogenix team ensures that I can provide the expertise and cutting-edge technology to exceed our already impressive success rates, while seamlessly supporting our patients’ experience in a trauma-informed space.

As a small business owner dedicated to women’s health, I have a passion for staying connected with my hometown community and sharing my expertise in areas related to my professional interests: cancer and fertility; egg and embryo fertility preservation; genetics; embryo testing; donor egg or sperm; and surrogacy. As a leader, I am frequently called upon to educate other professionals on how to best support patients' reproductive choices, both for now and in their future. Additionally, I take pride in mentoring and encouraging the next generation of women entering STEM fields, leading by example.

Some of my contributions to medical literature include publications on:

• Blastocyst IVF embryo transfer
• Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGT)
• Oncofertility (cancer-related fertility treatment)
• Cost-effective fertility treatment
• Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery
• Testosterone hormone in pregnancy
• Endometriosis

"I feel fortunate to be doing what I do - sharing the gift of family," says Dr. Moayeri. "I've always had a love for science and technology; and every day, I have the privilege to support and educate the community, colleagues, and my patients in understanding reproductive options and realizing their dreams of growing families, together."

I am a proud member of multiple organizations, including:

• American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
• Society for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (SART)
• Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (SREI)
• Alpha Omega Alpha National Honor Medical Society (AOA)
• Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FACOG)
