This editorial covers Spring Fertility San Francisco as a practice — its team, programs, and overall patient experience. Patients seeking information about a specific physician at this location, Dr. Temeka Zore, can consult the separate physician profile editorial.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Spring Fertility San Francisco is staffed by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who hold ABOG dual board certification in Obstetrics & Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility. The physician team includes specialists with research backgrounds in reproductive endocrinology, and the practice participates in SART, which requires annual submission of cycle data to an independently validated national reporting system.
Temeka Zore, MD is one of the physicians at the San Francisco location who has developed a patient following through her combination of clinical expertise and active patient communication, including a presence on social media platforms where she discusses fertility education topics. Dr. Zore is profiled in a separate editorial. Additional reproductive endocrinologists within the Spring Fertility SF team contribute to the group's care model, which includes physician coverage during weekend and holiday monitoring cycles.
Clinical staff include cycle coordinator nurses, embryologists staffing the IVF laboratory, and a patient experience team that handles scheduling and coordination. Patients new to IVF can review our guide to IVF treatment before their first consultation.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Spring Fertility SF operates an IVF laboratory supporting in-house embryology: ICSI, extended blastocyst culture, trophectoderm biopsy for PGT, vitrification, and warming for frozen embryo transfers. SART participation means cycle outcome data are submitted annually for external review and public reporting through the SART Clinic Summary Report and CDC ART Surveillance database.
Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
San Francisco has a high concentration of IVF practices, including several academic medical center programs and private practices, allowing patients to compare Spring Fertility's published SART data against multiple competitors. When reviewing, filter by age bracket, diagnosis type, and transfer type (fresh vs. frozen) for the most relevant comparison to your own profile.
Patient Experience
Spring Fertility has built its brand around a patient experience model that distinguishes it from more traditional academic medical center and legacy private practice environments. Reviews consistently cite the accessibility of the clinical team — particularly the ability to communicate with nurses and coordinators through digital channels between appointments — as a standout characteristic. Extended-hour monitoring windows that accommodate working patients are mentioned by multiple reviewers as a practical differentiator.
The Van Ness/Civic Center location at 1 Daniel Burnham Ct is well-served by public transit: the Van Ness station on the Muni Metro lines is nearby, and multiple Muni bus routes serve the Van Ness corridor. Patients from the East Bay can access the 16th/Mission BART station and connect to Muni, or take a transbay bus to the Civic Center area. The proximity to Hayes Valley and the Tenderloin means the location is centrally accessible from most San Francisco neighborhoods without requiring a car.
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
California does not have a comprehensive state mandate requiring health plans to cover IVF for fertility diagnoses. California SB 600 (effective 2024) requires plans that include maternity benefits to cover fertility preservation for patients facing iatrogenic infertility from medical treatment, which is distinct from IVF coverage for fertility diagnoses.
Spring Fertility has made pricing transparency part of its brand — the practice publishes self-pay pricing for IVF and egg freezing on its website and offers a pricing model designed to be clear about what is and is not included. For patients with insurance, Spring's financial team assists with benefit verification and prior authorization. Third-party financing is available for patients managing significant out-of-pocket costs. Given the high cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area, the practice also sees significant demand from employer-sponsored plans that include IVF coverage as a voluntary benefit — particularly from the Bay Area tech sector, where employer fertility benefits have become more common.
