About
Robert Boostanfar was the principal investigator of the largest randomized controlled trial of IVF ever published — a study in Human Reproduction that carries weight precisely because trials of this size are almost never run in fertility medicine. That research credential sits beside an unusual second career: he is one of the most recognizable reproductive endocrinologists on American television.
He trained entirely through USC — undergraduate at UCLA, the Keck School of Medicine (MD, 1995), then residency and REI fellowship at the USC Los Angeles County Women’s and Children’s Hospital — and has practiced since 2002 across HRC Fertility’s Encino, Westlake Village and Beverly Hills locations. He is an Assistant Clinical Professor at Keck.
His media profile spans Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Good Morning America, CNN, CBS, KTLA and a run as the resident physician on Learning Channel’s The Little Couple, with features in People and Vogue. He is fluent in English and Farsi, and his clinic staff supports Spanish and Chinese, which makes him a frequent destination for international patients.
