Brown Fertility's Orlando location sits at 70 W Gore St, Suite 202, in the heart of central Orlando — steps from downtown and easily accessible from I-4 and major city corridors. With a 3.4-star rating across 291 patient reviews, the clinic's reputation reflects a mixed patient experience; many patients praise the physician expertise and individualized attention, while others note operational challenges typical of high-volume fertility practices. Brown Fertility is an openly LGBTQ+-inclusive practice, serving same-sex couples, single parents by choice, and transgender patients across Central Florida.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Brown Fertility was founded by Dr. Janelle Brown, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist with fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI). Dr. Brown has built the practice around attentive, patient-centered care and has particular experience working with LGBTQ+ patients navigating family building. The clinical team includes reproductive endocrinologists, nurses, and embryologists who collaborate closely on each patient's treatment plan. Prospective patients should confirm current physician availability and specializations by contacting the clinic at (407) 244-5515 or visiting brownfertility.com.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Brown Fertility maintains an on-site embryology laboratory where fertilization, embryo culture, and cryopreservation take place. Laboratory quality is central to IVF outcomes, and prospective patients should request information about fertilization rates, blastocyst development rates, and live birth rates by age group before beginning a cycle. 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
The Gore Street office is centrally located, making it convenient for patients coming from the greater Orlando metro — including communities like Kissimmee, Winter Park, Maitland, and the theme park corridor to the southwest. Parking is available, and the clinic's downtown location means that patients who work in the city center can often schedule monitoring appointments around their workday.
Brown Fertility's LGBTQ+ inclusive approach is woven into the intake process and clinical workflow. Staff are trained to use correct terminology and to understand the unique considerations that come with same-sex family building — whether that involves donor sperm selection, reciprocal IVF protocols, or coordination with a sperm bank. Single women pursuing donor insemination are similarly welcomed without having to explain their family structure to administrative staff.
Florida does not have a fertility insurance mandate, so most patients at Brown Fertility pay for IVF and related services out of pocket or through financing. The clinic's team can help patients understand the cost structure upfront so there are no surprises. Orlando's large medical tourism market also means that some patients travel from Latin America or the Caribbean for fertility treatment at Florida clinics; Brown Fertility's location near the international airport corridor makes it accessible for those patients as well.
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
Florida does not require insurance carriers to cover fertility treatments, including IVF. Patients should contact their insurer directly to understand what diagnostics, monitoring, or medications might be covered under their specific plan. Brown Fertility's billing team can assist with pre-authorization inquiries. Many patients use medical financing products such as CapexMD, Prosper Healthcare Lending, or clinic-sponsored multi-cycle packages to manage costs. LGBTQ+ patients pursuing donor cycles should budget for sperm bank fees in addition to the clinical cycle cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Brown Fertility serve same-sex couples? Yes. Brown Fertility is explicitly LGBTQ+-inclusive and offers the full range of services same-sex couples may need, including reciprocal IVF, IUI with donor sperm, and coordination with licensed sperm banks and gestational carrier agencies.
What is reciprocal IVF? Reciprocal IVF — also called partner IVF or co-IVF — is a process where one partner provides the eggs (which are fertilized in the lab) and the other partner carries the resulting embryo. It allows both partners to have a biological connection to the pregnancy. Brown Fertility offers this service to eligible same-sex female couples.
How do I get started at Brown Fertility? New patients typically begin with an initial consultation and diagnostic workup that may include bloodwork, a transvaginal ultrasound, and (for male partners or donors) a semen analysis. Call (407) 244-5515 or visit brownfertility.com to schedule.
Is the Orlando location convenient for patients from outside the city? Yes. The downtown Orlando location is near several major highways and about 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport, making it accessible for patients from across Central Florida and for medical tourists from elsewhere.
