Michigan Fertility Institute PC — An Honest Editorial Review
Among fertility clinics in Michigan, Michigan Fertility Institute is one of the newest boutique REI practices serving Metro Detroit. Opened in 2025 at 14815 Farmington Road in Livonia, the clinic is a single-physician, full-service reproductive endocrinology program with an on-site embryology laboratory, built around University of Michigan-trained REI Dr. Ali A. Bazzi.
Training and Credentials
Dr. Ali A. Bazzi earned his medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor. He completed his Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at Ascension Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, where he received multiple awards for research and patient care, and his three-year fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Michigan. He is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Before founding Michigan Fertility Institute, Dr. Bazzi practiced with CCRM Fertility in Chicago — a high-complexity IVF network with among the highest published success rates nationally.

Success Rates and Lab Quality
Because the clinic opened in 2025, Michigan Fertility Institute does not yet appear in the SART Clinic Summary Report or CDC ART Success Rates — both require a full calendar year of reported data before publication. The absence reflects recency, not opacity; ask Dr. Bazzi directly for any early outcome figures. Note that Michigan Reproductive Surgery Center PC at the same address is the legal entity used for surgical and procedural billing — it is the same practice, not a separate lab. Our how to read IVF success rates guide covers interpretation traps once data is published.
Patient Experience
Michigan Fertility Institute holds a 5.0/34 Google rating. The consistent theme in public reviews is the continuity that a single-physician practice can offer — direct access to the REI for monitoring visits, mid-cycle questions, and emotionally difficult moments that patients at higher-volume academic programs often navigate through nurses or coordinators. The Livonia location off I-96 and I-275 spares patients the commute to Ann Arbor or downtown Detroit during daily stimulation monitoring.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option for patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions for donor or partner sperm, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months (six months if over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified REI is the right next step.
Insurance and Cost in Michigan
Michigan has no state fertility insurance mandate as of 2025 — insurers are not required to cover IVF or IUI. Coverage depends entirely on your employer's plan; some large-employer Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Aetna, and Cigna contracts include fertility benefits. Self-pay IVF in Michigan typically runs $12,000–$18,000 per fresh cycle before medications. See our fertility insurance mandates by state guide and IVF cost by state breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Michigan Fertility Institute PC the same as Michigan Reproductive Surgery Center PC? Yes. Michigan Reproductive Surgery Center PC is the legal entity used for surgical billing at the same Livonia address — it is the same practice led by Dr. Bazzi, not a separate lab.
Why isn't Michigan Fertility Institute listed on SART? SART requires a full calendar year of reported ART cycle data before publishing. The clinic opened in 2025, so the first SART-reportable data would appear in the 2026 publication cycle.
Does Michigan Fertility Institute accept insurance? The clinic accepts major commercial insurers, but Michigan has no state fertility mandate, so IVF and IUI coverage depend on your specific employer plan. Verify benefits before your consultation.
