Fertility Center of Dallas serves patients in Dallas and the surrounding metro area from 3900 Junius Street, Suite 610, Dallas, TX 75246 — in the Baylor University Medical Center corridor near the junction of Gaston Avenue and Junius Street in the Lakewood and Old East Dallas area. The clinic is led by Dr. Michael J. Putman, MD, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, and is positioned as a physician-led practice that prioritizes individualized attention in a market increasingly shaped by large fertility networks. The practice holds a 4.6-star rating from 18 reviews. Patients comparing providers across the region can browse the Texas fertility clinic directory.

Physicians and Clinical Team

Dr. Michael J. Putman, MD, leads Fertility Center of Dallas with subspecialty board certification in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Physician-led independent practices like Fertility Center of Dallas represent a specific model in the Dallas fertility market — one where the founding physician maintains direct clinical responsibility for each patient's care, as opposed to large network models where patients may see multiple physicians across their treatment cycle.

The clinical team includes fertility nurses who manage cycle monitoring communication, medication education, and day-to-day patient coordination. Financial counselors assist with Texas's insurance landscape — which lacks a state mandate — before patients commit to a treatment plan.

Laboratory and Success Rates

Fertility Center of Dallas coordinates embryology laboratory services as part of IVF cycle management, supporting ICSI, blastocyst culture, vitrification, and PGT biopsy coordination. The practice's physician-led structure allows for direct physician oversight of laboratory protocol decisions and individual cycle management. 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

Fertility Center of Dallas occupies a distinct position in the Dallas fertility landscape: a physician-led independent practice in a city where large national networks (CCRM, Shady Grove, Kindbody, and others) have made significant investments. For patients who specifically value the continuity and accountability of a single-physician practice — where Dr. Putman is personally involved in each cycle — this structure is a meaningful differentiator.

The Junius Street location in the Baylor Medical District places the clinic near significant hospital infrastructure, which is a practical consideration for patients who may need coordination between fertility care and other specialist care. The Old East Dallas and Lakewood areas surrounding the clinic are established, community-oriented Dallas neighborhoods with strong local identity, and patients who live in this part of the city may prefer the convenience of a locally embedded practice over driving to suburban network clinic locations.

The 4.6-star rating reflects strong patient satisfaction. Reviews highlight Dr. Putman's attentiveness, the thoroughness of consultations, and the personalized nature of the care relationship — qualities that patients frequently contrast favorably with their prior experiences at larger, higher-volume practices.

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

Texas does not have a state fertility insurance mandate for private employer health plans. Coverage at Fertility Center of Dallas depends entirely on individual employer plan design. The financial counseling team will verify your specific benefits, identify any covered diagnostic or treatment components, and provide self-pay pricing for uncovered services before any treatment cycle begins.
