Midwest Reproductive Care is located at 900 Main St, Suite 330, Peoria, IL 61602, in downtown Peoria near the riverfront and the OSF HealthCare and UnityPoint Health hospital systems. Peoria is central Illinois's largest city and a regional hub for healthcare, agriculture, and manufacturing — and Midwest Reproductive Care serves as the primary fertility specialist resource for patients throughout the central Illinois corridor, including Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Galesburg, and Springfield. The practice holds a 4.4-star rating from 7 reviews and serves a community where access to subspecialty reproductive medicine is limited relative to the Chicago or St. Louis markets.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Midwest Reproductive Care is led by fellowship-trained, board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who have chosen to bring subspecialty fertility care to central Illinois rather than practicing exclusively in Chicago or another major metro. For Peoria and central Illinois patients, this means access to the same level of REI subspecialty training and clinical capability as patients in Chicago — without the three-hour drive. The clinical team includes fertility nurses, care coordinators, and support staff. The practice has relationships with OSF Saint Francis Medical Center and UnityPoint Health Methodist for patients who require hospital-based surgical procedures or imaging.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Midwest Reproductive Care operates with laboratory infrastructure that supports the full IVF cycle locally. For central Illinois patients, this local capability is critical — without a local IVF lab, patients would need to travel to Chicago or St. Louis for procedures. The lab team manages fertilization, culture, vitrification, and coordinates PGT biopsy and analysis.
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
With 7 reviews, Midwest Reproductive Care is among the smaller-reviewed practices in this guide, reflecting its newer presence or lower digital review volume rather than its clinical quality. Reviewers describe a thoughtful, accessible practice with physicians who are genuinely invested in their central Illinois patient community. The 900 Main St location in downtown Peoria is in a professional office building near the river, with parking available. The practice is noted as welcoming for patients from smaller central Illinois communities who may be less familiar with the fertility treatment process.
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
Illinois has a fertility insurance mandate that requires fully insured group health plans covering 25 or more employees to cover IVF and infertility treatment. This is a meaningful benefit for Peoria-area patients, many of whom are employed by hospital systems, Caterpillar, insurance companies, and state government entities — all of which commonly offer fully insured group plans.
Patients should confirm whether their employer's plan is fully insured or self-insured, as self-insured plans are not subject to the Illinois mandate. Midwest Reproductive Care's financial staff can assist with insurance verification and prior authorization. For patients without coverage, medical financing and HSA/FSA payment are available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Midwest Reproductive Care the only IVF provider in Peoria? Midwest Reproductive Care is among the limited subspecialty fertility practices offering IVF in the Peoria area. Central Illinois patients who require advanced fertility treatment have historically traveled to Chicago, but Midwest Reproductive Care provides local access to the same REI subspecialty care.
Does the Illinois fertility mandate apply to Caterpillar or OSF employees in Peoria? It depends on whether the employer's plan is fully insured or self-insured. OSF HealthCare and UnityPoint Health employees may be covered depending on their specific plan type. Caterpillar, as a large national company, likely has a self-insured ERISA plan, which would not be subject to the Illinois mandate. Verify directly with your HR department.
How far do patients travel to see Midwest Reproductive Care? Patients come from throughout central Illinois, including Bloomington (approximately 45 minutes), Springfield (approximately 75 minutes), and Champaign (approximately 90 minutes). For patients in these communities who would otherwise drive to Chicago, the Peoria location represents a significant reduction in travel burden.
Does the practice offer telehealth consultations for patients from rural areas? Ask about telehealth options when you contact the practice. Initial consultations and certain follow-up visits may be available remotely, reducing the need for in-person travel for preliminary appointments.
