Physicians and Clinical Team
Conceptions Florida is led by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with strong academic and clinical backgrounds, including ties to the University of Miami academic medical community. The practice's name reflects its dual emphasis on fertility treatment and genetic testing — both preconception genetic counseling and preimplantation genetic testing are integral parts of the clinical workflow. Physicians have experience working with patients who carry known genetic conditions and are pursuing IVF with PGT-M to prevent transmission to their children. The team also includes genetic counselors, embryologists, and experienced fertility nurses. For current physician information, visit conceptionsflorida.com or call (305) 446-4673.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Conceptions Florida operates an on-site embryology laboratory with particular emphasis on the genetic analysis pipeline. The lab supports PGT biopsy, vitrification, extended embryo culture, and the logistics of sending biopsy samples to reference genetics laboratories for analysis. The genetic testing focus means the team has deep experience coordinating the timing and logistics of embryo biopsy and testing cycles. 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 Ponce de Leon Blvd address in Coral Gables is in a well-established professional and medical corridor adjacent to the UM Health System campus. Coral Gables is one of Miami's most beautiful neighborhoods, with Mediterranean Revival architecture, wide boulevards, and a calm, professional atmosphere that is a meaningful contrast to South Florida's more hectic urban character. The clinic's location is accessible via the Metrorail (Douglas Road or University stations are nearby) and by major surface roads and Palmetto Expressway connections.
Miami's population is one of the most internationally diverse in the United States. Conceptions Florida's patient base reflects this: the clinic serves patients from across the Latin American diaspora (Cuban, Venezuelan, Brazilian, Colombian, Mexican, Argentinian, and beyond), Haitian communities, Caribbean nationals, and the full range of Miami-Dade's multicultural residential population. Language access — including Spanish and potentially Creole — is an expected feature of a well-run Miami medical practice. Patients for whom Spanish is the preferred language of medical communication should confirm language support when scheduling.
Conceptions Florida's genetic emphasis appeals to patients who come to the consultation with a known genetic risk — carriers of BRCA mutations pursuing IVF with PGT-M, couples who carry recessive disease variants, or patients with family histories of chromosomal conditions. The combination of genetic counseling and IVF expertise in one practice reduces the handoffs that would otherwise be required.
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 does not have a state fertility insurance mandate, so most patients bear the cost of IVF out of pocket or through voluntary employer-provided benefits. Genetic testing adds cost to an IVF cycle — PGT-M in particular can be significantly more expensive than PGT-A because it requires the design of a custom genetic probe. Patients pursuing PGT-M should request a detailed cost estimate that includes both the embryology laboratory fee and the external genetic laboratory fee. Medical financing through lenders specializing in healthcare expenses is available, and the clinic's billing staff can assist with cost planning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PGT-A and PGT-M? PGT-A screens embryos for the correct number of chromosomes and is used broadly to identify the most viable embryos for transfer. PGT-M screens for a specific inherited disease — for example, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, or Huntington's disease — when one or both parents carry a known gene variant. Conceptions Florida's combination of genetic counseling and IVF expertise makes it a strong choice for patients who need PGT-M.
Can I get preconception genetic counseling before starting IVF? Yes. Preconception genetic counseling is available at Conceptions Florida and is recommended for patients with known family genetic conditions, prior affected pregnancies, or ethnic backgrounds with higher carrier rates for specific conditions. The counselor will help you understand your risks and whether PGT-M or PGT-A testing is appropriate.
Is the clinic accessible by Miami Metrorail? The Douglas Road and University Metrorail stations are both near the Coral Gables campus. For Miami residents who use transit, the clinic's location is more accessible than many South Florida fertility practices that are in suburban locations without rail access.
Does Conceptions Florida serve patients from outside Miami-Dade County? Yes. Patients from Broward County, the Florida Keys, and other South Florida areas travel to the Coral Gables location, particularly for genetic testing services that may not be available as comprehensively at other South Florida fertility clinics.
