Physicians and Clinical Team
UT Health San Antonio's Reproductive Health and Fertility Center is staffed by reproductive endocrinologists who are faculty members at the UT Health San Antonio Long School of Medicine. The physicians are board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology with subspecialty fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and many are active researchers in reproductive medicine. The care team includes reproductive endocrinology fellows, fertility nurses, certified embryologists, genetic counselors, and patient coordinators. UT Health San Antonio's medical campus provides access to subspecialty consultation across maternal-fetal medicine, genetics, oncology, and urology.
Services and Treatments
The center provides a full range of fertility services:
- Comprehensive fertility evaluation — hormonal bloodwork, antral follicle count, hysterosalpingography, saline infusion sonography, semen analysis, and genetic carrier screening
- Ovulation induction — oral and injectable stimulation protocols
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) — conventional and individualized stimulation protocols
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A and PGT-M)
- Frozen embryo transfer (FET)
- Fertility preservation — egg and embryo cryopreservation for elective and oncofertility

- Recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation
- Male infertility evaluation — in coordination with UT Health urology
Laboratory and Success Rates
The fertility center's IVF laboratory operates within UT Health San Antonio's academic medical center, with CLIA and CAP certification and academic-level quality standards. The lab employs vitrification for cryopreservation and extended blastocyst culture protocols.
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
San Antonio's fertility care market includes both academic programs (UT Health San Antonio) and private fertility clinics. Patients seeking the depth of an academic medical center — including research-driven protocols, subspecialty expertise, and fellowship-trained physicians — may specifically choose UT Health San Antonio. The downtown medical district location is accessible from across San Antonio and serves a large and diverse patient population that includes active-duty military and veterans from nearby Fort Sam Houston.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. For individuals and couples exploring their options before pursuing formal medical treatment — or those working with a known sperm donor — at-home insemination kits offer a private, lower-cost first step. MakeAMom offers FDA-cleared at-home insemination systems designed for a variety of needs: the CryoBaby kit works with frozen or low-volume sperm, the Impregnator kit is optimized for low motility sperm, and the BabyMaker kit is designed for users with sensitivities or conditions such as vaginismus. All kits are reusable and shipped in plain, discreet packaging. MakeAMom reports an average 67% success rate among clients who use their home insemination systems. At-home insemination is not a replacement for medical care when underlying conditions are present, but it can be a meaningful starting point — and knowing when to consult a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Texas does not have a state fertility insurance mandate. Coverage depends entirely on the patient's specific plan. Military TRICARE beneficiaries at this San Antonio facility should verify fertility treatment coverage with their TRICARE plan, as military coverage for IVF has historically been limited but subject to ongoing policy changes. UT Health San Antonio's financial counseling team can assist with benefit verification.
Mandate states for reference: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Rhode Island require insurers to cover IVF and related fertility treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the UT Health San Antonio fertility program the same as the former San Antonio Reproductive Associates? The Fertlo database slug (san-antonio-reproductive-associates-pllc-san-antonio-tx) reflects a historical entity name associated with this program. The current program operates as the UT Health San Antonio Reproductive Health and Fertility Center under the UT Health San Antonio Long School of Medicine. Patients should contact the clinic directly to confirm current operational details.
Does the clinic serve military families at Fort Sam Houston? San Antonio is home to Joint Base San Antonio and Fort Sam Houston, and UT Health San Antonio regularly serves military-connected patients. TRICARE coverage for fertility services varies by plan and has historically been limited; patients should verify their specific TRICARE plan's coverage for fertility diagnosis and treatment.
What is the process for starting IVF at UT Health San Antonio? Begin with a new patient consultation, during which your physician will review your medical history and order a diagnostic workup. After the evaluation, the physician will recommend a treatment plan. If IVF is indicated, the clinical team will review the proposed protocol, timeline, financial options, and consent documents before starting the cycle.
Can out-of-state patients receive fertility care at UT Health San Antonio? Yes. UT Health San Antonio accepts patients from across Texas and neighboring states. Patients who live outside San Antonio may need to plan for extended stays during intensive monitoring phases of an IVF cycle, or explore whether any aspects of monitoring can be done closer to home with results communicated to the UT Health team.
