Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health was an independent fertility practice that operated at 3885 S Val Vista Dr, Suite 105, Gilbert, Arizona — the same address now home to CCRM Fertility Gilbert. The current operating website for the location is ccrmivf.com/location/us/arizona/gilbert/, and Arizona patients can view the full fertility provider directory at the Arizona fertility clinics directory. S Val Vista Dr in Gilbert places this location in the heart of the southeast Phoenix metro's most dynamic growth corridor, near Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway. Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health holds historical and ongoing significance in Arizona fertility care: as the predecessor entity to CCRM's Arizona presence, it represents the continuity of ART practice at this address and provides important context for patients who received care there or who are researching the clinic's history.
History: Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health
Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health was one of the established independent fertility practices serving the Phoenix metro area. The practice built a patient following in the southeast valley communities — Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, and Tempe — at a time when Gilbert was growing rapidly but lacked many of the specialty medical services available in central Phoenix or Scottsdale.
The practice's physicians were board-certified reproductive endocrinologists committed to building ART capability in the southeast valley. For years, patients in Gilbert and Chandler who needed IVF had to travel to Scottsdale or central Phoenix for fertility specialist care; Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health brought that specialty to the southeast metro.
The CCRM Acquisition and Transition
CCRM (Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine) is a national fertility network founded in Denver, Colorado, that expanded into multiple major US markets by affiliating with or acquiring established local fertility practices. The CCRM Arizona expansion used the Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health location — and potentially its physician team and existing patient relationships — as the foundation for CCRM's Phoenix-area presence.
This type of transition is common in the consolidating fertility industry. A well-regarded independent practice, facing the competitive pressures of the national network era, affiliates with or is acquired by a national network. The network provides brand recognition, clinical quality infrastructure, and operational resources; the local practice provides established patient relationships, community trust, and local physician expertise.
For patients who received care under Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health:
- Medical records should be transferable; contact CCRM Fertility Gilbert to request records or confirm care continuity.
- Some physicians from the original practice may continue at the same location; confirm with CCRM which physicians are currently practicing at the Gilbert site.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Clinical operations at the Val Vista Dr address are now conducted under CCRM's network quality standards. CCRM's emphasis on laboratory quality was a key driver in its national expansion — bringing its embryology and clinical protocols to partner practices. Patients who received care under Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health may notice differences in protocols and reporting under the CCRM framework.
Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
For patients with existing relationships from the Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health era, the CCRM transition may bring mixed feelings. The national brand brings credibility and standardized quality, but some patients value the independent, community-rooted character of the original practice. Understanding the history helps patients evaluate whether the current CCRM program continues to meet their needs — or whether establishing care with a different Arizona practice makes more sense.
Gilbert's rapid growth since Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health first established itself here means the practice now serves a significantly larger and more diverse patient base. The southeast valley has attracted families from across the country and internationally, and the fertility patient population reflects Gilbert's evolution into a major American suburb.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Arizona does not have a state mandate requiring health insurance coverage for IVF. Patients at the former Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health — and at the current CCRM Fertility Gilbert location — pay for fertility treatment primarily out of pocket unless employer fertility benefits are available. CCRM's financial team assists with cost estimation and financing options under its current branding.
Patients who had billing arrangements or payment plans established under Arizona Associates for Reproductive Health should confirm their status with the current CCRM billing team, as the practice transition may have affected billing systems and account structures.
