About

Lauren Rubal, M.D.

Lauren Rubal, MD, is a fellowship-trained infertility specialist at her private medical practice in Newport Beach, California. She did full-scope reproductive endocrinology and infertility for seven years, and she is very familiar with how difficult it is for couples dealing with infertility and recurrent miscarriage. It's a diagnosis with many far-reaching and gut-wrenching layers, and the treatment for it, many times, involves high-dose hormone medications with aggressive procedures like in vitro fertilization.

When couples go to a fertility center, they may feel pressured to go directly to in vitro fertilization (IVF)–it is,after all, the most effective chance of having a baby on a per monthly basis. But these treatments have small, though significant, side effects and risks for both mother & baby. For some couples, it is not an option they are interested in considering, either due to their beliefs, the cost, the hormones, or the procedures involved.

Dr. Rubal has a unique vision in this space: a practice centered around lifestyle choices and supplements plus alternative modalities to optimize fertility, restore natural fertility, and prevent future miscarriage. A practice that judiciously uses hormonal medications as part of a broader treatment plan. A practice that supports women to harness their own fertility through education and empowerment.

How will she do this? Dr. Rubal sits down with couples for an initial consultation that seeks to understand their goals and find the reasons for what they are undergoing. Together, they then develop a personalized treatment plan after appropriate evaluation. This includes lifestyle optimization in conjunction with other strategies to prepare their bodies. Dr. Rubal monitors them through cycles, either with their natural ovulation or with medications, to help increase their fertility for that month.

In addition, Dr. Rubal also treats patients with recurrent miscarriage and provides solutions to increase their chance of a baby. She helps women with irregular periods or abnormal uterine bleeding understand the reason why and developed a tailored plan to normalize what they are dealing with as much as possible.

Dr. Rubal really feels so fulfilled every day to be in people's lives as they are navigating this road. It's an honor to walk the difficult parts of the journey together. It is such a blessing to see joyous outcomes. Dr. Rubal still stays in touch with many patients and loves hearing about their lives or seeing their little ones grow.

Dr. Rubal has been recognized as a Southern California Super Doctor for 3 years and as a Top Doc in Pasadena for 4 years. She was selected as one of 20 people nationwide for the prestigious 6-year Honors Program in Medicine at the University of Miami, where she completed both her undergraduate and medical studies in 6 years. While there, she was awarded membership into Iron Arrow, the highest honor at the University. Afterwards, she moved to University of Southern California for a robust training experience at Los Angeles County Hospital in Obstetrics & Gynecology. She decided to continue there for her 3-year Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility fellowship. Dr. Rubal has been widely recognized for her teaching, having received the Daniel R. Mishell Teaching Award 4 years straight, the USC Keck School of Medicine Faculty Teaching Award selected from amongst all specialties, the Bayer Health Care Pharmaceuticals Best Teaching Resident, and the Leadership Award from her peers. She was chosen to be the Administrative Chief Resident and headed both the American College of OBGYN Junior Fellows Section as well as the USC Former Residents of OBGYN organizations. Dr. Rubal research interests at USC included vitamin D’s impact on reproductive parameters as well as ectopic pregnancy prediction markers. After graduation, Dr. Rubal moved to Orange County to become a Partner Physician at Kaiser Permanente, where she practiced full scope REI for 7 years, before deciding to leave to pursue her passion for integrative fertility. She has been an invited speaker at multiple conferences as well as an author of several book chapters. Dr. Rubal is excited to partner with her patients to achieve their longed-for goals with a holistic lens and within a boutique practice.
