Dr. Gary Hubert

About

Two documents describe Dr. Gary Hubert’s job at FSAC from two directions. The practice’s own physician page says he serves as co-director. The SART 2023 clinic report names him the practice’s medical director, and that report is where the 1,685 cycles and the age-band live birth rates on this hospital’s page come from — he is the physician accountable for those numbers. Hubert has been in reproductive medicine for more than 20 years.

He graduated from UCLA School of Medicine and holds board certification in both reproductive endocrinology and obstetrics and gynecology — the subspecialty plus its parent specialty, so the obstetric side of a patient’s care sits inside the same credential set as the IVF side. FSAC states that all of its fertility specialists are board certified in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. His profile notes extensive lecturing and publishing on infertility and other reproductive disorders, and repeated recognition from ASRM and from media outlets for contributions in two specific areas: endometriosis and ovulation dysfunction.

The third theme in his profile is restraint. FSAC’s stated treatment philosophy is to start with the most affordable, least invasive approach likely to work, which in practice means ovulation induction and IUI before IVF for patients whose core problem is that they are not releasing eggs. His documented recognition in ovulation dysfunction sits exactly on that decision.

Clinical Expertise

• IVF: full-cycle management — stimulation design, monitoring, retrieval and transfer — across the practice’s Thousand Oaks, Encino and Santa Monica offices
• IUI and ovulation induction: medicated cycles monitored by ultrasound and blood work, with the practice’s step-up approach starting here when ovulation, not tubal or severe male-factor pathology, is the limiting problem
• Endometriosis-associated infertility: staging the impact on ovarian reserve and anatomy, then sequencing medical treatment, surgery by the practice’s surgically trained colleague, and assisted reproduction
• Ovulation dysfunction: diagnosing and treating anovulatory and irregular-ovulation patterns, one of the two areas his ASRM recognition covers
• Third-party reproduction and donor programs: donor sperm, donor egg and gestational carrier pathways offered by the practice
• Program oversight: as the medical director named in the SART record, he is responsible for how cycles are run and reported, including the lab-clinician coordination the practice describes as a full-team review of each IVF cycle

Why Choose Dr. Gary Hubert

You can read the outcomes he is accountable for. The SART 2023 report on this page names him as medical director: 49.1% live birth per intended retrieval under 35, 44.8% at 35-37, 22.8% at 38-40 and 10.2% over 40, against national rows of 53.2 / 39.9 / 26.2 / 9.4. The clinic sits above the national figure in the 35-37 band and roughly level over 40, below it under 35 and at 38-40. A physician named on that filing is the right person to ask why your age band falls where it does.

Twenty-plus years, one specialty. He has practiced reproductive medicine long enough to have watched stimulation protocols and lab work change around him, and his profile documents ASRM recognition rather than a string of institutional appointments.

Double board certification in REI and OB/GYN. Both the subspecialty and its parent specialty; FSAC says every one of its fertility specialists holds board certification in reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

Two named niches. Endometriosis and ovulation dysfunction are the specific areas his ASRM recognition and media mentions cover.

One long patient review says it plainly. A patient on his FSAC page describes years of unsuccessful attempts ending with him as a “miracle worker”; the practice chose that testimonial to lead his profile.

Professional Affiliations

American Society for Reproductive Medicine (active member; has received ASRM honors for contributions to infertility diagnosis and treatment), the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society, the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, and the Society of Reproductive Endocrinologists. The SART 2023 clinic report lists him as medical director, and FSAC’s physician page describes him as co-director of the practice. Our sources document his UCLA School of Medicine degree and his two board certifications; residency and fellowship institutions are not published in our sources.

Suitable For

• Endometriosis patients deciding between surgery, IUI and IVF: one of his two recognized areas, inside a practice with its own surgery center
• Irregular or absent ovulation: the other recognized area, and the one where a medicated cycle or IUI may be enough that IVF never enters the plan
• Patients who want the same physician across several cycles: a co-director of the practice, not a rotating consultant
• Couples who research outcomes before committing: his name is on the SART filing behind the numbers on this site
• Anyone wanting a conservative first plan: FSAC’s stated approach starts with the least invasive option likely to work, which Hubert’s ovulation work makes practical rather than a slogan
