Specialists in Reproductive Medicine & Surgery, P.A. is located at 12611 World Plaza Ln in Fort Myers, Florida — the commercial and medical hub of Lee County and the broader Southwest Florida region. The practice serves patients from Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Lehigh Acres, and throughout the Lee and Collier County area, providing a locally-based alternative to traveling to Tampa or Miami for reproductive endocrinology and infertility care. The emphasis on both reproductive medicine and surgery signals the practice's capability to address structural causes of infertility — such as endometriosis, fibroids, and tubal disease — alongside medical fertility treatments.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Specialists in Reproductive Medicine & Surgery is led by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with REI fellowship training and a demonstrated focus on the surgical dimensions of reproductive medicine in addition to IVF and IUI. The inclusion of "surgery" in the practice name reflects a commitment to operative management of conditions such as endometriosis, uterine septa, fibroids, and tubal occlusion — conditions that, when untreated, reduce the success of medical fertility treatments. The clinical team includes reproductive nurses, embryologists, and support staff experienced with South Florida's diverse patient population.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Specialists in Reproductive Medicine & Surgery maintains an embryology laboratory to support the IVF program, with capabilities for standard fertilization, ICSI, blastocyst culture, vitrification, and biopsy for genetic testing. Patients considering IVF should ask about the lab's case volume and quality benchmarks at their consultation, as laboratory performance is a critical variable in IVF outcomes alongside stimulation protocols and patient-specific factors. 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
Fort Myers has grown significantly over the past two decades, and Southwest Florida now has a substantial year-round population — no longer just a seasonal retirement destination. The World Plaza Ln address is in a commercial area of Fort Myers near major retail and dining corridors, with easy access from US-41 and I-75. Patients from Naples and Bonita Springs face a manageable 30–40 minute drive north. Cape Coral patients cross the bridges into Fort Myers. The Southwest Florida climate is comfortable for most of the year, which makes the experience of frequent monitoring appointments less burdensome than in colder climates. Parking is plentiful in the commercial complex setting.
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
Florida does not have a state law requiring health insurers to cover IVF. Fertility treatment coverage in Florida varies significantly by employer. Some large Florida employers and national companies with Florida employees include fertility benefits, but patients should verify coverage before starting treatment. Specialists in Reproductive Medicine & Surgery can assist with insurance verification, prior authorization, and cost estimates. Financing programs are available for patients paying out of pocket.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the practice offer reproductive surgery in addition to IVF? Yes. The practice is specifically structured to handle the surgical aspects of infertility evaluation and treatment, including diagnostic and operative laparoscopy for endometriosis and pelvic pathology, hysteroscopy for uterine cavity assessment and treatment, and myomectomy for fibroids. Having surgery and fertility treatment in the same practice simplifies the pre-IVF surgical workup.
How should I prepare for my first consultation? Bring prior fertility workup results if available, including hormone panels, semen analysis, and imaging reports. If you have had prior surgeries for endometriosis or uterine conditions, bring operative notes and pathology reports.
Is the practice appropriate for patients with Stage III–IV endometriosis? Yes. The practice's surgical focus makes it well-suited for patients with advanced endometriosis who require surgical management before or alongside fertility treatment.
Does the practice treat seasonal residents or snowbirds? Given Southwest Florida's large seasonal population, the practice is experienced with patients who are present for part of the year. Patients should discuss timing logistics at their consultation to plan treatment cycles around their time in Florida.
