Women's Excellence In Obstetrics & Gynecology operates a Lake Orion, Michigan location at 1428 S Lapeer Rd. Lake Orion is an incorporated village in Orion Township in northern Oakland County, Michigan, approximately 35 miles north of Detroit via I-75 and M-24. The surrounding communities include Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, Oxford, Clarkston, and Pontiac. Women's Excellence is a multi-location OB/GYN practice serving southeastern Michigan; the Lake Orion office and the Clarkston office (5701 Bow Pointe Dr, Suite 350) both appear in public records as Women's Excellence locations, reflecting a common shared-entity structure where the same professional corporation operates multiple satellite offices across a suburban service area. Patients should confirm which office location handles specific services when scheduling, as procedures and physician assignments may vary by site. Michigan does not have a state fertility insurance mandate. For a full list of Michigan fertility resources, visit the Michigan fertility clinics page.
Physicians and Clinical Team
Women's Excellence In Obstetrics & Gynecology is a physician-led OB/GYN practice. The practice employs board-certified obstetricians and gynecologists serving women from adolescence through menopause. At the Lake Orion S Lapeer Rd location, physicians provide routine and complex gynecology as well as obstetric care with delivery at an affiliated Oakland County hospital. OB/GYNs perform initial fertility evaluations including ovarian reserve testing and hormonal assessment, and manage conditions affecting fertility such as PCOS and endometriosis. For subspecialty reproductive endocrinology care including IVF, referral to an REI is appropriate.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Women's Excellence is an OB/GYN practice and does not operate an ART laboratory. Fertility-relevant diagnostics—such as AMH, FSH, LH, and estradiol panels—can be ordered and managed through the practice. For patients requiring IUI, IVF, or subspecialty reproductive endocrinology care, referral to an REI in the greater Detroit and Oakland County region is appropriate.
Patients who proceed to ART 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 Lake Orion office at 1428 S Lapeer Rd is situated along the M-24 (Lapeer Rd) corridor, a major north-south artery in Oakland County connecting Pontiac and Auburn Hills to Oxford and Lapeer. Patients from Lake Orion, Oxford, Orion Township, Auburn Hills, and Pontiac have a convenient OB/GYN option on this well-traveled route. The Women's Excellence multi-location structure means patients may access the same physician at both the Lake Orion and Clarkston locations, or be directed to the location best suited for their specific appointment type.
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
Michigan does not mandate fertility insurance coverage. Standard OB/GYN services—prenatal care, annual exams, gynecologic procedures, and diagnostic testing—are covered under most commercial health insurance plans subject to copays and deductibles. Fertility treatment (IUI, IVF, medications) is generally not covered unless an employer plan specifically includes fertility benefits. Patients should verify their plan's coverage for diagnostic infertility testing, which may be treated differently from treatment coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Women's Excellence have a Clarkston location as well? Yes. Women's Excellence In Obstetrics & Gynecology operates multiple locations in Oakland County. The Clarkston location at 5701 Bow Pointe Dr, Suite 350, serves patients in the Independence Township and Waterford area, while the Lake Orion office at 1428 S Lapeer Rd serves Orion Township and northern Oakland County. Both share the same practice entity. Patients should confirm which location provides the specific service they need.
Which hospital does Women's Excellence use for deliveries in northern Oakland County? Oakland County OB/GYN practices typically hold delivery privileges at McLaren Oakland, Ascension Providence Rochester, Henry Ford Macomb, or Beaumont/Corewell Health hospitals. Confirm the specific delivery hospital with the practice when establishing prenatal care.
When should I ask for a fertility referral at an OB/GYN practice? If you have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (6 months if you are over 35), or if you have a known condition like PCOS, endometriosis, or a history of miscarriage, ask your OB/GYN for a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist. The OB/GYN will typically complete an initial workup first.
Does the Lake Orion Women's Excellence office offer in-office procedures? Minor in-office procedures such as IUD placement, endometrial biopsy, and colposcopy can generally be performed in an OB/GYN office. More complex procedures such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy are typically performed at an outpatient surgical center or hospital. Confirm procedure availability at the Lake Orion location directly.
