About CCRM Fertility of Scottsdale - Main Center
CCRM Fertility of Scottsdale - Main Center is the Arizona flagship of the CCRM Fertility Network, located at 8426 E Shea Blvd in Scottsdale. The clinic was formerly Arizona Center for Fertility Studies (ACFS) and officially joined the CCRM Fertility Network in 2024. It is one of two CCRM locations in Arizona, along with CCRM Fertility of Gilbert.
Founded by Dr. William Schoolcraft in 1987, CCRM has grown into one of the leading fertility networks in the United States, operating clinics across 18 states and Canada and helping bring more than 100,000 babies into the world. The Scottsdale center benefits from CCRM’s unified clinical protocols, its proprietary genetics laboratory (CCRM Genetics) and its research laboratory resources.
Success Rates
According to the SART 2023 Final Clinic Summary Report (ClinicPKID=2232, CCRM Arizona network data), the live birth rates are:
| Age | Center LBR (All Embryo Transfers) | National Average |
|---|---|---|
| <35 | 55.1% | 53.2% |
| 35-37 | 43.7% | 39.9% |
| 38-40 | 22.1% | 26.2% |
| 41-42 | 21.4% | — |
| >42 | 4.0% | 9.4% |
Read that table on one denominator. The center column is cumulative live birth per intended egg retrieval, counting every embryo transfer from that retrieval (SART 2023 final, ClinicPKID=2232). The age brackets do not line up at 40 and over: SART reports this clinic in two brackets, 41-42 and over-42, while the national summary carries a single combined 40-and-over row. The 9.4% sitting on the >42 line is that combined national figure, not an over-42-only number, so the like-for-like comparison is the center’s weighted 11.9% for all over-40 retrievals against it — not 21.4% or 4.0% taken alone. The 41-42 row has no national counterpart in our extract. One more attribution point: ClinicPKID=2232 is registered to the group entity “CCRM Arizona”, which covers both the Scottsdale main center and CCRM Fertility of Gilbert, so these are two-site figures rather than Scottsdale alone.
The network reported 1,143 cycles in 2023. Frozen PGT-A single embryo transfer outcomes are notably strong: 49.2% under 35, 54.3% at 35-37, and 54.2% at 38-40.

Why Choose CCRM Fertility of Scottsdale - Main Center
CCRM Network Resources: As part of the CCRM Fertility Network, the Scottsdale center shares access to CCRM’s proprietary genetics laboratory (CCRM Genetics) where PGT testing is performed in-house rather than outsourced, ensuring consistent quality control.
Local Roots with National Reach: The center’s predecessor ACFS served Arizona patients for years before joining CCRM in 2024, combining deep local experience with nationwide network resources.
Strong Frozen Transfer Outcomes: According to the SART 2023 Final report, frozen PGT-A single embryo transfer live birth rates reach 49.2%-54.2%, supported by the network’s strategy of performing over two-thirds of cycles as frozen transfers with PGT-A screening.
Fertility Preservation Expertise: Medical Director Dr. Shane Lipskind also serves as Director of Fertility Preservation, supporting oncology patients and others who need to preserve fertility before treatment.
Comprehensive Service Coverage: From IUI to IVF, PGT, egg freezing, donor egg, surrogacy and LGBTQIA+ family building — patients can access the full spectrum of care in one place.
IVF & Fertility Services
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Including ICSI and assisted hatching, with individualized protocols for male/female factor infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and genetic concerns
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): For unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, and ovulation disorders; approximately $1,200-$4,000 per cycle per the website
- Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): PGT-A/PGT-M/PGT-SR — CCRM was the first fertility center to offer PGT-A on day 5/6 embryos
- Egg Freezing: For elective fertility preservation and medical (oncofertility) reasons; the process takes about 3-4 weeks
- Donor Egg: CCRM donor egg bank with thoroughly screened donors (FDA phone screen, health/genetic/psychological screening)
- Gestational Surrogacy: CCRM describes an in-house surrogacy program that matches patients with a gestational carrier. The network dates its work with gestational carriers to 1996 — a CCRM network milestone, not a Scottsdale-specific program history
- LGBTQIA+ Family Building: Donor egg, donor sperm, surrogacy and reciprocal IVF for same-sex couples and single parents
- Fertility Testing: Ovarian reserve assessment, HSG and more
Fees & Packages
Per the clinic’s website, IUI costs approximately $1,200-$4,000 per cycle (including bloodwork and monitoring). IVF and PGT pricing is not published online; the clinic provides written cost estimates before each visit. Contact the clinic for current pricing.

Local Legal Framework
Arizona permits IVF, ICSI, PGT and egg freezing. The state recognizes surrogacy agreements under the Arizona Revised Statutes, and gestational carrier contracts are enforceable. SB 1164 (2022) further regulates surrogacy and prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or marital status. Same-sex couples and single individuals have constitutionally protected family-building rights. Egg and sperm donation is legal with written informed consent.
