Montgomery Women's Medical Center, P.C., operating as Montgomery Fertility Center, is located at 3202 Tower Oaks Boulevard in Rockville, Maryland — in Montgomery County, one of the most affluent and densely professional counties in the mid-Atlantic region. Tower Oaks Boulevard is in the Tower Oaks Corporate Park, a business campus in the northern Rockville area near the Montgomery-Howard County line, accessible from I-270 and Shady Grove Road. This location serves the full Montgomery County patient corridor — Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Bethesda, Potomac, Silver Spring, and Chevy Chase — as well as patients from Northern Virginia (via the American Legion Bridge and the Beltway) and from Howard County.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Montgomery Fertility Center operates as a professional corporation (P.C.) in Maryland under the Montgomery Women's Medical Center entity, with patient-facing identity as Montgomery Fertility Center (montgomeryfertilitycenter.com). The clinical team consists of board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with REI subspecialty certification from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. REI training involves a three-year ACGME-accredited fellowship that covers all aspects of reproductive endocrinology, assisted reproductive technology, and reproductive surgery.
Montgomery County is part of the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area, with a large concentration of federal government employees, defense contractors, technology and biotechnology companies, and healthcare workers. The Montgomery Fertility Center serves this well-insured, well-educated, and professionally demanding patient population — patients who frequently research their clinical options carefully and expect evidence-based, personalized care.
The physician-owned P.C. structure allows the clinical team to make treatment decisions autonomously and to maintain longer-term patient relationships compared to the rotating physician models common in large fertility networks.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Montgomery Fertility Center maintains an embryology laboratory supporting full IVF cycles. The lab handles ICSI, extended culture to blastocyst, embryo biopsy for PGT, vitrification, and embryo thaw. In the competitive Washington/Montgomery County fertility market, the quality of the embryology team and laboratory infrastructure is a critical differentiator. Patients considering this practice should ask about laboratory accreditation, the experience of the embryology team, and available SART outcome data.
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
Tower Oaks Corporate Park in northern Rockville is accessible from I-270 via the Shady Grove Road exit and from MD-355 and MD-586, providing good highway connectivity to Montgomery County and the I-270 technology corridor. The corporate park environment has surface parking and modern professional office buildings. The nearest WMATA Metro station — Shady Grove (Red Line terminus) — is a short drive or rideshare from Tower Oaks, making the practice accessible for patients who prefer Metro to car travel.
Montgomery County's diverse population includes a large immigrant community — patients for whom cultural sensitivity and multilingual communication may be important considerations in selecting a fertility practice. The county also includes a large Jewish community, and practices in this market typically have experience with patients whose religious considerations may affect aspects of fertility treatment planning.
Montgomery Fertility Center's physician-owned identity may appeal to patients who prefer a smaller, more personalized practice setting compared to the large university-based fertility programs at Johns Hopkins (Baltimore) or George Washington (Washington, DC).
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
Maryland has a comprehensive fertility insurance mandate. Maryland law requires covered group health insurance plans to provide benefits for medically necessary infertility treatment, including IVF. The Maryland mandate applies to large-group fully-insured plans and covers multiple IVF cycles under specified eligibility criteria. This mandate is one of the more comprehensive in the mid-Atlantic region.
Self-insured ERISA employer plans are not subject to the Maryland mandate. Patients should verify whether their plan is fully-insured or self-insured. Montgomery County's large federal employee base — whose coverage comes through the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) program — is not subject to Maryland's state mandate; fertility coverage under FEHB plans varies by the individual plan elected. Montgomery Fertility Center's financial counseling team can assist with benefits verification and prior authorization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Montgomery Women's Medical Center P.C. and Montgomery Fertility Center? Montgomery Women's Medical Center, P.C. is the legal entity registered in Maryland under which the physicians practice. "Montgomery Fertility Center" is the patient-facing trade name under which the practice markets its services. Both names refer to the same practice at 3202 Tower Oaks Boulevard. Billing will likely appear under the Montgomery Women's Medical Center entity.
How does Maryland's IVF mandate affect federal government employees? Federal employees covered by FEHB plans are not subject to Maryland's state mandate, because federal employee benefits are governed by federal law (which preempts state mandates). However, many FEHB plans — particularly Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal and Aetna Federal — include meaningful fertility coverage that can include IVF. Check your specific FEHB plan's fertility benefits during open season or contact your plan's member services.
Is Tower Oaks accessible from Northern Virginia? Yes. Northern Virginia patients can reach Tower Oaks via I-495 (the Beltway) and I-270 northbound, or via MD-355 through Bethesda and Rockville. The American Legion Bridge connects Virginia to Montgomery County via I-495. During non-peak hours, the drive from McLean or Tysons Corner to Rockville is approximately 25-40 minutes. Peak-hour I-495 traffic can extend this significantly.
Does Montgomery Fertility Center have experience with patients from the Israeli or Jewish communities? Montgomery County has one of the largest Jewish communities in the mid-Atlantic region. Fertility practices in this market are typically experienced in discussions about Halacha (Jewish law) as it applies to aspects of fertility treatment — including policies around Shabbat monitoring, embryo creation and disposition, and the use of donor gametes. Patients with religious considerations should raise these in their initial consultation to ensure the practice can accommodate their needs.
