Physicians and Clinical Team
The Reproductive Medicine Group's physicians are board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who hold subspecialty fellowship certification in REI. The team has experience managing a broad spectrum of fertility diagnoses, with clinical interests that include ovulatory dysfunction, tubal factor, male factor, and complex IVF cases. Physicians are active members of ASRM and SART and maintain evidence-based protocols that align with current national guidelines. The practice's nursing team plays a central role in cycle coordination, providing patients with monitoring results, medication instructions, and procedure scheduling. Embryologists at the on-site laboratory manage the full IVF workflow from egg retrieval through embryo transfer preparation.

Laboratory and Success Rates
The Reproductive Medicine Group operates an on-site embryology laboratory at the Tampa location, where all fertilization, culture, cryopreservation, and biopsy procedures are performed. The laboratory's vitrification protocol is used for all embryo and oocyte freezing, achieving high post-thaw survival rates. The practice reports to SART and the CDC, providing the independently verified outcomes data that prospective patients need for meaningful comparison. Tampa Bay's fertility market includes multiple competing practices, and the Reproductive Medicine Group's participation in SART reporting reflects its commitment to transparency. 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
The Fletcher Avenue address in North Tampa is accessible from I-275, I-75, and the Bruce B. Downs corridor, making it reachable from both the city's northern suburbs and from St. Petersburg across the bay via the Howard Frankland Bridge. The practice is near the University of South Florida campus and in an area dense with medical offices and supporting amenities. Patients describe the clinic environment as professional and organized, with monitoring visits typically efficient to accommodate the needs of working patients.
Tampa's diversity is reflected in the practice's patient population, and the bilingual capabilities of some staff members are a practical asset for Spanish-speaking patients. The LGBTQ+ inclusion commitment at The Reproductive Medicine Group encompasses all treatment pathways, and Florida's warm climate makes Tampa an occasional destination for fertility tourism patients from colder climates during winter months.
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 has no state fertility treatment mandate, making out-of-pocket costs or employer benefits the primary coverage avenues for Tampa-area patients. Tampa Bay's major employers in finance, technology, defense, and healthcare vary widely in their fertility benefits offerings. Patients should verify their plan's fertility coverage — including whether IVF, IUI, diagnostic testing, and medications are included — before beginning treatment. The Reproductive Medicine Group's financial counseling team is available to assist with insurance verification and prior authorization. For uninsured patients, financing through third-party lenders and transparent self-pay pricing help make treatment accessible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between fresh and frozen embryo transfer? In a fresh embryo transfer, the embryo is transferred to the uterus in the same cycle as the egg retrieval, typically five days after retrieval. In a frozen embryo transfer (FET), embryos are frozen after retrieval and transferred in a subsequent cycle after the uterine lining has been prepared with hormones. Most modern IVF programs have shifted toward FET for most patients, as it allows time for PGT results, gives the body recovery time after retrieval, and may be associated with improved outcomes in certain patient populations.
Does the clinic treat patients with endometriosis? Yes. Endometriosis is one of the more common diagnoses in the practice's population. Depending on the severity and patient history, treatment may involve surgical evaluation before IVF, specialized stimulation protocols, or management of the endometrial environment before embryo transfer. Your physician will develop a plan based on the extent of your endometriosis and prior treatment history.
What should a male partner expect during the evaluation? The male partner's initial evaluation consists of a semen analysis, which measures sperm count, motility, and morphology. If the semen analysis is abnormal, additional hormonal testing may be ordered, along with referral to a reproductive urologist for further evaluation. Many male factor cases can be addressed with ICSI during IVF, and some cases are amenable to surgical sperm retrieval.
