MCRM Fertility operates two full-service reproductive endocrinology clinics — one in Chesterfield, Missouri, and a second at 4809 East 89th Street South in Tulsa, Oklahoma — making it one of the few independent fertility practices in the region to offer a consistent physician team and unified laboratory protocols across two states. The Tulsa clinic opened to serve patients in northeastern Oklahoma and neighboring states who would otherwise face a long drive to access board-certified reproductive endocrinology care. The practice's name stands for Missouri Center for Reproductive Medicine, reflecting its St. Louis origins, though the Tulsa location functions as a fully staffed satellite rather than a referral hub — patients can complete consultations, monitoring, egg retrievals, and embryo transfers locally without traveling to Missouri. For patients beginning their research, our overview of IVF treatment covers the cycle process in plain language, and our guide to Oklahoma fertility clinics provides broader regional context.
Physicians and Clinical Team
MCRM Fertility's clinical team is small by the standards of large urban fertility centers, but both physician principals hold subspecialty board certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) and have practiced in this field for well over a decade.
Mira Aubuchon, MD, FACOG — Medical Director. Dr. Aubuchon earned her MD from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago in 1998, completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis in 2002, and then pursued fellowship training in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, completing it in 2005. She is board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Dr. Aubuchon serves as a board examiner for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and maintains adjunct associate professor status at both the University of Missouri–Columbia School of Medicine and Saint Louis University, reflecting an ongoing commitment to academic medicine and physician training alongside her clinical duties. She has been recognized on the Castle Connolly Top Doctors list continuously since 2010, most recently in 2026, and was named to the Egg Whisperer Show as a guest expert on polycystic ovary syndrome. Her research record spans more than 50 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and national and international presentations, with particular depth in PCOS pathophysiology, metabolic dysfunction, ovulation induction, and the intersection of body weight with IVF outcomes. Dr. Aubuchon previously founded and directed PCOS Centers of Excellence at both the University of Cincinnati and the University of Missouri, and her personal background — her parents experienced infertility for 14 years before her sibling was born — gives her a patient perspective uncommon among reproductive endocrinologists.
Randy Fink, MD, FACOG — Reproductive Specialist. Dr. Fink sees patients weekly at the Tulsa location and frequently assists with frozen embryo transfers and egg retrievals at both sites, providing procedural coverage and scheduling flexibility for patients mid-cycle. His credentials include board certification in Obstetrics and Gynecology and fellowship-level training in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and he brings many years of experience in the specialty to the team.
The nursing team includes two certified advanced practice providers with Women's Health Nurse Practitioner board certification (WHNP-BC):
Leslie King, MSN, APRN, WHNP-BC — Nurse Practitioner. Leslie King holds board certification as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and functions as an integral member of the care coordination team, managing patient cycles under physician supervision and handling much of the day-to-day clinical communication patients experience during treatment.
Lauren Rackovan, MSN, APRN, WHNP-BC — Nurse Practitioner. Lauren Rackovan similarly holds the WHNP-BC credential and works in close collaboration with the physicians on patient monitoring, medication management, and cycle oversight. Both nurse practitioners ensure that patients have a consistent clinical contact throughout the sometimes intensive day-by-day demands of a stimulation cycle.
Services and Treatments
MCRM Fertility's Tulsa clinic offers the full range of interventions a board-certified REI practice is expected to provide, from entry-level evaluation through complex third-party assisted reproduction:
- Fertility evaluation for both female and male partners, including ovarian reserve testing (AMH, FSH, antral follicle count), semen analysis, and uterine cavity assessment
- Ovulation induction with or without timed intercourse
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI), including monitored cycles with injectable gonadotropins
- In vitro fertilization (IVF), including standard antagonist and agonist stimulation protocols
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for male-factor infertility or prior fertilization failure
- Sperm selection techniques including physiological ICSI and density gradient preparation
- Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) and single-gene disorders (PGT-M), performed in coordination with certified genetics laboratories
- Fresh and frozen embryo transfer, including natural and medicated FET cycles
- Donor-assisted IVF using donor eggs or donor sperm
- Egg freezing for elective fertility preservation
- Fertility preservation for patients facing gonadotoxic cancer treatments (oncofertility)
- Services for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, including reciprocal IVF and donor-coordinated cycles
- Egg donor program (the clinic also facilitates egg donation for qualifying patients who wish to donate)
All treatment plans at MCRM are developed under the MCRM Promise model: the practice emphasizes individualized protocols rather than a one-size approach, and patients are assigned to a specific care team rather than rotating through multiple providers at each monitoring appointment. This continuity of care is a distinguishing element that patients frequently cite in reviews.
Laboratory and Success Rates
MCRM Fertility reports its outcomes to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), which publishes independently validated clinic outcome summaries annually with approximately a two-year reporting lag. The clinic also publishes a summary success rate table on its own website referencing SART 2021 final data and describing its own outcomes as above the national average for IVF live birth rates. The laboratory follows a highly systematized, streamlined set of protocols developed over more than two decades of practice, and the embryology team services patients from both the Tulsa and St. Louis locations.
SART-reported figures are broken out by patient age bracket, and comparisons are most meaningful when controlled for the patient's own age, diagnosis, and whether fresh or frozen embryos are being used. Patients are encouraged to review the primary data directly through the SART Clinic Summary Report tool and the CDC ART Surveillance database, filtering results by age group and diagnosis to generate the most clinically relevant benchmark for their own situation. The clinic's physicians routinely review outcome data with patients during consultations so that reported success rates are interpreted in the context of individual patient characteristics rather than population averages.
Patient Experience
The Tulsa clinic is located at 4809 East 89th Street South, Suite 100, in south Tulsa — a well-accessible part of the metropolitan area with ample parking. Hours run Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, meaning early morning monitoring appointments are available on weekday mornings throughout the week.
Patient reviews of MCRM Fertility consistently emphasize the warmth and attentiveness of the entire staff — not just the physicians — as a distinguishing characteristic. Several reviews specifically note that staff members remember patients by name, that the clinic does not feel impersonal or rushed, and that the care team goes out of its way to address anxiety and questions at each visit. One representative patient comment reads: "Every single member of the staff loves their job and it shows when you walk in the clinic. You will feel so comfortable during your visits." Another notes: "We were very nervous before our appointment, and everyone was very welcoming and helped ease that feeling. Definitely didn't make us feel like just a number to them."
Dr. Aubuchon's patient-centered approach is also frequently highlighted: she is described by patients as thorough in her explanations, respectful of individual beliefs and circumstances, and willing to walk patients through all available options — including those she may not personally perform — so that patients can make fully informed decisions. This ethos reflects her stated clinical philosophy: to help each patient identify the option with the highest pregnancy probability that aligns with their specific medical situation, personal values, and financial reality.
For patients traveling to Tulsa from rural Oklahoma or neighboring states such as Kansas or Arkansas, MCRM's website maintains a dedicated section on traveling patients that provides logistical guidance.
Insurance and Financing
Oklahoma does not have a state infertility insurance mandate, meaning health plans issued in Oklahoma are not required by state law to cover IVF or other fertility treatments. Whether a given patient has coverage depends entirely on their specific employer-sponsored or individual plan. MCRM Fertility accepts most major insurance carriers and maintains an insurance verification team that makes reasonable efforts to confirm coverage details before a patient's initial appointment — though the clinic notes this is provided as a courtesy only, and patients are advised to obtain written predetermination of coverage from their insurer or HR department independently.
For patients with employer-sponsored family-building benefits, MCRM Fertility is a certified preferred provider in the Carrot Fertility network, which offers employer-sponsored fertility benefits covering IVF, egg freezing, donor-assisted reproduction, gestational surrogacy, and adoption. MCRM is also in-network with Progyny, a leading fertility-benefits manager used by many large employers, and with Maven Clinic's network for employers offering that platform.
For patients without insurance coverage or whose plans have limited fertility benefits, MCRM offers several financial assistance pathways:
- PatientFi — an easy-payment financing option integrated directly through MCRM that allows patients to spread treatment costs over manageable monthly payments
- Military discount — MCRM maintains a dedicated military fertility discount program for active-duty service members and veterans
- Family First Educator Discount Plan — a discounted treatment package specifically for educators
- Financial assistance programs — the practice can connect qualifying patients with third-party grant and assistance resources
A dedicated financial counselor is available to work with each patient, review benefit verification results, and help develop a cost plan before treatment begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Tulsa clinic perform egg retrievals and embryo transfers on-site, or do patients need to travel to St. Louis? The Tulsa location is a fully equipped clinic, not a monitoring-only satellite. Egg retrievals and embryo transfers are performed in Tulsa. Patients do not need to travel to the St. Louis area for procedures unless a specific clinical situation requires resources available only at the main campus.
Which physician will I see at the Tulsa clinic? Dr. Mira Aubuchon serves as Medical Director and leads the clinical team. Dr. Randy Fink sees patients weekly in Tulsa and assists with procedures. Nurse Practitioners Leslie King and Lauren Rackovan are also integral members of the care team. Because the practice is relatively small, patients typically have consistent contact with the same providers throughout their treatment rather than rotating among a large group.
Does MCRM Fertility serve LGBTQ+ patients, including same-sex couples? Yes. The clinic explicitly lists services for LGBTQ+ couples as a core treatment area. Services include donor sperm IUI, donor egg IVF, reciprocal IVF for female couples, and coordination for gestational carrier arrangements. The care team has experience working with patients across family-building configurations.
What is the best way to begin as a new patient at the Tulsa clinic? New patients can request an appointment or information directly through the MCRM Fertility website or by calling the Tulsa office at 918-615-8484. The initial consultation typically involves a review of medical history, relevant diagnostic testing, and development of a personalized treatment plan. Patients who have prior fertility records or diagnostic results from another provider are encouraged to bring that documentation to help the physician develop the most informed plan at the first visit.
