Nashville Fertility Center, P.C. is located at 345 23rd Avenue North in Nashville, Tennessee — in the Midtown neighborhood adjacent to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center campus, one of the most concentrated medical and academic environments in the mid-South. The 23rd Avenue North corridor runs through the heart of Nashville's medical district, where Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Saint Thomas Health, and a dense cluster of outpatient specialty practices serve a regional patient population that extends well beyond Davidson County. Nashville Fertility Center's proximity to Vanderbilt's academic medical infrastructure positions it as a community-based practice with access to some of the most sophisticated medical resources in Tennessee. Patients travel to this location from across the Nashville metropolitan area and from surrounding states — Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi — where fertility specialist options may be more limited.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Nashville Fertility Center, P.C. is a physician-owned professional corporation with board-certified reproductive endocrinologists on staff. REI subspecialists complete three-year ACGME-accredited fellowships following OB/GYN residency and hold subspecialty certification from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Nashville Fertility Center has been one of the most established independent fertility practices in Tennessee, with a history of serving the mid-South region.
The Nashville medical market includes Vanderbilt University Medical Center as the dominant academic system, along with HCA Healthcare's concentrated Tennessee presence. Nashville Fertility Center operates as an independent practice, which means physicians make clinical decisions autonomously rather than under the protocol structures of a national fertility chain. This can be an important distinction for patients who value continuity of care with a consistent physician team.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Nashville Fertility Center maintains its own embryology laboratory capable of supporting the full IVF cycle: ICSI, extended culture to blastocyst, embryo biopsy for PGT, vitrification, and embryo thaw. As an established independent practice, the lab operates under quality protocols developed over years of clinical experience in the Nashville market.
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
Nashville's rapid growth over the past decade — driven by healthcare, entertainment, financial services, and technology — has created a large and diverse population of young professionals, families, and transplants from across the country. The Midtown Nashville location at 23rd Avenue North is one of the most conveniently positioned medical office settings in the city, walkable to Vanderbilt and accessible by the WeGo transit system as well as the I-440 / I-40 / I-65 highway network.
For patients traveling from outside Davidson County — or from neighboring states — Nashville serves as a regional medical hub for fertility care. Patients from Clarksville, Murfreesboro, Bowling Green (KY), Huntsville (AL), and Jackson (TN) drive to Nashville for specialist fertility care that may be unavailable or more limited in their home communities.
Nashville Fertility Center's independent status means patients are more likely to develop ongoing relationships with a consistent clinical team rather than rotating through a shared-care model common in large network practices.
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
Tennessee does not have a state IVF insurance mandate. Patients at Nashville Fertility Center pay for IVF and most ART procedures out of pocket unless their employer plan voluntarily includes fertility coverage. Nashville's large healthcare employer base — Vanderbilt, HCA Healthcare, Ascension, and numerous healthcare technology companies — includes some employers that offer fertility coverage, but coverage varies significantly by employer and plan.
Nashville Fertility Center's independent practice model may allow for more personalized financial conversations, including bundled pricing and payment plans. Patients should inquire about pricing for each component of the IVF cycle — stimulation medications, monitoring, retrieval, laboratory, PGT, and transfer — to understand the total cost before beginning treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Nashville serve as a regional fertility center for surrounding states? Yes. Nashville Fertility Center, given its location at a major regional medical hub, serves patients from Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas who may have limited local access to board-certified reproductive endocrinologists. For patients in smaller cities or rural areas in these states, Nashville is often the closest major fertility center.
What is the advantage of an independent fertility practice versus a large fertility network? Independent practices allow physicians to maintain personal relationships with patients over time and exercise clinical judgment without corporate protocol constraints. The physician team at Nashville Fertility Center has built its practice within the Nashville market and typically offers a more continuous patient-physician relationship than shared-care network models.
Does Tennessee have any legal protections for fertility patients? Tennessee does not mandate IVF insurance coverage. The state's legislative environment has been active in reproductive health policy in recent years — patients with specific questions about how state law affects their fertility treatment options should consult a healthcare attorney familiar with Tennessee law.
How do I access Nashville Fertility Center from outside Davidson County? Patients from surrounding counties or states can reach the 23rd Avenue North location via I-40, I-65, or I-440, all of which have exits close to Midtown Nashville. Patients who fly can reach Nashville International Airport (BNA) and access Midtown by rideshare in approximately 20-30 minutes. For the intensive monitoring phase of IVF (10-14 days of near-daily clinic visits), out-of-town patients often arrange temporary local accommodations.
