About

Fertility & Lifespan Medical Institute is a reproductive endocrinology and fertility clinic in Grantville, San Diego at 6386 Alvarado Court, Suite 340, in the 92120 ZIP. Medical Director Steven A Brody holds an MD and PhD alongside board certifications in four distinct specialties — Internal Medicine, Endocrinology & Metabolism, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility — making him the only physician in the United States with that combination. The Alvarado Court suite sits within a medical office complex where OB-GYN referral pipelines feed patients from general gynecologic care into subspecialty fertility evaluation, and the practice of Parvin Mani, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. on Zion Avenue represents the type of referring relationship that connects reproductive health patients to IVF-level intervention. Dr Brody earned his MD at Washington University in St Louis, completed internal medicine training at Yale University School of Medicine, finished his OB-GYN residency at Stanford University Medical Center, and served on the faculty at Baylor College of Medicine as an NIH researcher. The IVF program prices a complete cycle at $5,990, covering physician oversight, laboratory processing, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Dr Brody authored two textbooks, including one co-written with a Nobel Prize laureate from Cambridge titled Principles and Practice of Assisted Human Reproduction. Service scope covers IVF, artificial insemination, PCOS management, hormone balancing, sex selection, menopause and memory treatment, and male factor infertility workups including low sperm count evaluation. Emotional and psychological support for patients undergoing fertility treatment coordinates through Alter Behavioral Health in College Area, which provides therapy and psychiatric services for adults managing the stress of reproductive treatment cycles. The Grantville address places the practice within the Alvarado medical corridor, where diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, and surgical facilities cluster within a short drive of the Suite 340 office.
