The Center for Reproductive Medicine, operating under the brand IVF Orlando, is one of Central Florida's most established fertility practices, located at 1500 S Orlando Ave in Winter Park. Serving patients across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and Lake counties, the clinic has earned a 4.0-star rating from more than 520 reviewers over its years of operation. The practice combines academic-level expertise with a private-practice model, giving patients personalized access to fertility specialists who have trained at major academic medical centers. Winter Park's location just north of downtown Orlando puts the clinic within easy reach of patients across the metro, and its proximity to major employers in the healthcare and hospitality sectors makes it a practical option for working patients.

Physicians and Clinical Team
The Center for Reproductive Medicine is staffed by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who completed fellowship training at accredited programs. The clinic's physicians have training and clinical interests spanning IVF, recurrent pregnancy loss, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and male factor infertility. Each physician holds subspecialty certification from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. The team's depth of experience in both surgical and non-surgical fertility treatment means patients with complex diagnoses receive a comprehensive evaluation before a treatment plan is developed. Nursing staff and embryologists work closely with physicians to ensure monitoring results and lab findings are communicated clearly and promptly throughout each cycle.

Laboratory and Success Rates
IVF Orlando operates an accredited on-site embryology laboratory where all fertilization, culture, biopsy for PGT, and cryopreservation take place. The laboratory team uses time-lapse embryo imaging to monitor developmental milestones without disrupting culture conditions, providing additional data to select the highest-quality embryos for transfer. Vitrification is the standard method for all egg and embryo freezing, offering high post-thaw survival rates. Florida has a competitive fertility market, and practices in the state that participate in SART reporting have their outcomes independently audited. 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 Winter Park location is set in a medical office environment convenient to I-4 and the 417, with accessible parking that reduces stress on monitoring appointment mornings when timing is critical. The practice has received consistent positive feedback for the attentiveness of its nursing team, who manage the dense communication load of an active IVF cycle — including medication adjustments, ultrasound result communication, and trigger timing instructions. Many patients cite the clinic's thorough diagnostic approach, including endometrial receptivity testing and immune evaluation for recurrent loss, as a differentiator from larger network-based practices.
Florida's warm climate makes IVF Orlando a destination clinic for some patients from the Caribbean and Latin America, and the practice has experience coordinating care for international patients. For local patients, the practice's central location within the Orlando metro allows most to commute without excessive travel time, even from the southern suburbs of Kissimmee and St. Cloud.
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 have a state law mandating insurance coverage for IVF or fertility treatments, making it a self-pay state for most patients. However, many large employers — particularly in the healthcare, aerospace, and hospitality sectors prominent in Orlando — have voluntarily included fertility benefits in their group plans. Patients are encouraged to contact their HR department or insurance carrier to verify whether fertility benefits are included and what documentation is required for prior authorization. The Center for Reproductive Medicine offers financing through third-party lending partners, and the financial counseling team can provide a customized cost estimate prior to starting treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What diagnostic tests are done before beginning IVF? A standard fertility workup at this clinic typically includes ovarian reserve testing (AMH, antral follicle count via ultrasound, FSH/estradiol on cycle day 3), a uterine cavity assessment (hysterosalpingogram or sonohysterogram), a semen analysis, and hormone panels for both partners. Additional testing for thyroid function, clotting disorders, and uterine immune factors may be recommended depending on history.
Does the clinic treat patients with PCOS or endometriosis? Yes. Both PCOS and endometriosis are common diagnoses in the practice's patient population. PCOS patients require modified stimulation protocols to reduce the risk of OHSS; endometriosis patients may need surgical evaluation and treatment before IVF. The physicians have specific experience tailoring protocols for both conditions.
How many embryos are typically transferred? The Center for Reproductive Medicine follows guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), which generally recommend single embryo transfer (SET) for patients with chromosomally normal (euploid) embryos. The number of embryos transferred is discussed individually with each patient based on age, embryo quality, and prior history.
Is there a waitlist for new patients? Availability varies. The clinic recommends calling (407) 740-0909 to schedule an initial consultation and ask about current new patient availability. Telehealth options can sometimes accelerate the intake process for patients who want to begin the diagnostic workup before their first in-person visit.
