In this insightful episode of Friends with Fertility, we sit down with Dr. Rachel Mandelbaum—reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist at HRC Fertility in West LA and Beverly Hills, and faculty in Obstetrics and Gynecology at USC Keck School of Medicine. A physician, researcher, patient, and advocate, Dr. Mandelbaum is on a mission to improve the patient experience while advancing technology for the best pregnancy outcomes.

With over 100 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Mandelbaum has made significant contributions to reproductive medicine. She shares how her own IVF journey inspired the creation of Needle-Free IVF—a groundbreaking, validated method for medication administration that eliminates the need for injections. Her clinical trial, published in Fertility and Sterility, is already transforming patient care.

We also dive into her cutting-edge collaborations with the Zernicka-Goetz lab at Caltech, where she explores the earliest stages of embryonic development, and discuss the balance of being a physician, researcher, mom of two toddlers, and partner to her orthopedic surgeon husband.

Join us for a conversation that blends science, innovation, and humanity—offering hope, insight, and the future of fertility care.
