Fertility Testing
Comprehensive fertility testing for both men and women.
Fertility Consultation
During your first visit, your physician will review your medical history and outline the next steps.
In vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF is the most well-known and successful form of fertility treatment available.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI, or artificial insemination, is a very common non-surgical fertility treatment.
Genetic Testing
When preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is paired with IVF, it can increase the chance of a successful pregnancy.
Egg Freezing
Fertility preservation allows women to freeze their eggs to use at a later date.
Additional services include third-party reproduction, ovulation induction, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), fertility bloodwork, ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), saline sonogram, LGBTQ+ family building, and genetic testing for sex selection.
IVF Success Rates
Success measured the only way we know how: with the delivery of a healthy baby.
Success can be measured in a number of ways. Ensuring that your mind and body are healthy, limiting your exposure to ovulation-inducing hormones, and choosing to implant one healthy embryo over many are ways to increase your chance of success.
But the only true measure of success that matters, in the end, is that you leave RMA happy, healthy, and pregnant.

In 2024, the price range for a single IVF cycle in the United States falls between $14,000 and $20,000 for those without insurance coverage.
