A 4.9-star average across more than 2,500 patient reviews is rare in any specialty — and almost unheard of in obstetrics and gynecology, where the care arc is long, the stakes are high, and review sentiment often skews polarized. Yet that is the composite picture at Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, PC in Rochester Hills, one of the largest OB/GYN group practices in Michigan and a fixture of women's health in the northern Detroit metro. For patients exploring fertility clinics in Michigan, Oakland Macomb occupies a distinctive early-funnel role: it is where many fertility conversations actually begin — at the annual exam, with a provider the patient already knows.
About the Practice
Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, PC is a physician-owned group practice that has grown into one of Michigan's largest OB/GYN organizations, with a combined roster of more than 20 board-certified physicians and a sizeable team of certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. The practice operates several offices across Oakland and Macomb counties, with its flagship location in Rochester Hills and additional offices in Troy and Lenox.
The group's depth of staffing matters clinically. When a practice employs more than 35 providers across MD, DO, CNM, WHNP, and PA credentials, it can offer same-week appointments, subspecialty interests within a general OB/GYN framework, and continuity when a patient's needs evolve — from contraception to preconception to obstetrics, or from menopause care to gynecologic surgery.
Publicly listed physicians at Oakland Macomb include board-certified MDs and DOs such as Dr. James McBride, Dr. Joseph Love, Dr. Elise Wallace, Dr. Sandra Morgan, Dr. Shelley Sapick, Dr. Amy Heeringa, Dr. Staci Hopkins, Dr. Melissa Kennedy, Dr. Young Yoon, Dr. Kerry Lee, Dr. Nicole Dolan, and Dr. Meghna Dhir, among others. Advanced practice clinicians include Lisa Chism, DNP, APRN, NCMP, FAANP — a nationally credentialed nurse practitioner with specialty certification in menopause — alongside a robust team of CNMs and WHNP-BCs. Patients are encouraged to verify their specific provider's credentials with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.

What This Practice Is — and Isn't
Oakland Macomb is a general OB/GYN group, not a reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) clinic. Its fertility footprint is the kind typically offered by high-volume OB/GYN groups: preconception counseling, evaluation of menstrual irregularities and suspected infertility, diagnostic workup, medical management of conditions that impact fertility (PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis), and — when indicated — referral to a fertility subspecialist.
Patients who need advanced assisted reproductive technology — IVF, IUI at a monitored dedicated cycle center, egg freezing, donor eggs, gestational surrogacy, or PGT-A embryo testing — should be cared for by a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist. In southeast Michigan, that typically means a referral to dedicated REI practices such as IVF Michigan Fertility Center, Reproductive Medicine Associates of Michigan (RMA Michigan), or the Michigan Center for Fertility & Women's Health. You can browse verified REI-led practices on Fertlo's Michigan fertility clinics directory and review the how to read IVF success rates guide before you compare providers.
Patient Experience
A 4.9-star aggregate across more than 2,500 Google reviews places Oakland Macomb in the top tier of patient-rated practices in Michigan. Oakland County is not a small or unsophisticated market — patients here compare providers aggressively and have access to Corewell Health, Henry Ford, McLaren, and several nationally known REI centers. Against that backdrop, sustained 4.9-star sentiment at this volume reflects something structural, not statistical noise.
Reviewers consistently cite providers who listen without rushing, responsive front-desk staff, a navigable patient portal, quick lab-result turnaround, and — notable for a practice of this size — warmth and continuity. For patients in the early stages of a fertility evaluation, who are often carrying emotional weight alongside clinical complexity, that culture matters.
Michigan Fertility Insurance — The Honest Picture
Michigan does not currently mandate insurance coverage for infertility diagnosis or IVF. That puts Michigan patients in a different position than residents of mandate states like New Jersey, Illinois, or Massachusetts. In practice, this means:
- Diagnostic workup at an OB/GYN practice like Oakland Macomb (bloodwork, imaging, office visits) may be billable under standard gynecologic benefits
- Treatment of underlying conditions — PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis — is typically covered
- ART (IVF, IUI at a cycle-monitoring center, medications) is generally paid out-of-pocket unless the patient has employer-sponsored fertility benefits through a third-party carve-out (Progyny, Carrot, Maven, WINFertility, etc.)
For a state-by-state breakdown, see Fertlo's fertility insurance mandates by state guide and the IVF cost by state resource.
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 booking with a clinical provider.
At-home insemination kits from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm, arrive in plain, discreet packaging, and can be reused until conception succeeds. Many patients use them as a first step while waiting for a fertility consultation or alongside ovulation tracking.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (6 months if over 35), or a physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology offer IVF?
Oakland Macomb is a general OB/GYN group practice, not a reproductive endocrinology clinic. The practice offers fertility consultation and OB/GYN-level workup — cycle review, ovulation assessment, hormone panels, imaging — and can treat underlying conditions such as PCOS, fibroids, and endometriosis that affect fertility. Patients who require IVF, ICSI, PGT-A testing, donor gametes, or gestational surrogacy are typically referred to a dedicated REI clinic. See Fertlo's Michigan fertility clinics directory for verified REI-led practices in the state.
How do I decide between an OB/GYN fertility workup and a dedicated fertility clinic?
A reasonable starting point is: if you have been trying to conceive for less than 12 months (or 6 months if you are over 35), have no known fertility diagnosis, and want to begin with a familiar provider, an OB/GYN practice like Oakland Macomb is a sensible first stop. If you have a known diagnosis, have exceeded those time thresholds, require donor eggs or donor sperm, or are planning egg freezing for medical or elective reasons, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the appropriate provider. Reviewing Fertlo's how to read IVF success rates guide can help you compare dedicated clinics on clinical outcomes rather than marketing.
Will Michigan insurance cover a fertility workup at Oakland Macomb?
Michigan does not mandate infertility coverage, but many plans do cover diagnostic services (bloodwork, pelvic ultrasound, office visits) under standard gynecologic benefits — especially when the evaluation is tied to a covered condition such as PCOS, fibroids, or endometriosis. IVF and other ART services are generally paid out-of-pocket unless you have a specific fertility benefit through your employer. The practice's billing team can help clarify what your plan covers. See Fertlo's fertility insurance mandates by state and IVF cost by state resources for broader context.
