Statement: 

The Cleveland Clinic Fertility Center is a fertility clinic that is is part of the Cleveland Clinic's Ob/Gyn & Women's Health Institute. If you are searching for a fertility center consider Cleveland Clinic's fertility program with offices at Main Campus, Fairview Hospital, as well as within the family health centers in Avon, Beachwood, Solon, Strongsville and Twinsburg. In addition to the above fertility centers, arrangements can be made for patient monitoring in Canton, Erie, Pittsburgh, Columbus and several other locations.

For patient convenience, fertility services, including ICSI, are available at the Main Campus and at the Beachwood Fertility Center, as well as from the fertility doctors at the Fertility Centers located in Solon and Strongsville, as well as at our center at Fairview Hospital. Additional infertility services are also available at the medical office in Youngstown. Thus, patients from these areas can have the advantage of care from the Cleveland Clinic fertility team with a minimal number of visits to the Cleveland area.

The Cleveland Clinic Fertility Center is dedicated to providing the most advanced IVF procedures in a very patient friendly manner. Fertility doctors at the Cleveland Clinic Fertility Center have a long history of “firsts” including being responsible for:

  • Ohio’s first IVF birth (1983)
  • The world’s first IVF / surrogate birth (1986)
  • Ohio’s first birth with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) (2004)
  • The world’s first successful case utilizing PGD for Congenital Pseudohypoparathyroidism (2005). The couple came from France for the procedure
  • Establishment of the region’s first pregnancy resulting from both frozen eggs and frozen sperm (2009)

The Fertility Center draws patients regionally and beyond. In order to most conveniently accommodate patients, the Fertility Center has established multiple formal and informal satellites so patients can be monitored close to home and only come to the Fertility Center for the egg retrieval and embryo transfer. The Fertility Center is located in a beautiful suburban area just off major highways. There are a wide range of hotels within minutes of the Fertility Center for those couples who want to stay in the area before or after procedures. Unusual for a suburban fertility clinic, the Cleveland Clinic Fertility Center includes three research laboratories that are dedicated to doing research that can quickly be incorporated into improving patient outcomes.
