Reproductive Gynecology & Infertility (RGI) operates a central Ohio location at 540 N. Cleveland Avenue in Westerville — a northern Columbus suburb known for its growing medical and professional infrastructure. This Westerville location is part of the broader RGI Ohio network, which extends across the state to serve patients in multiple regions. The Westerville clinic is distinct from the RGI location in Canton (Stark County), which serves northeast Ohio. For central Ohio patients, this N Cleveland Ave address is the primary network point of contact for fertility care in the Columbus metropolitan area.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Reproductive Gynecology & Infertility's physician team is composed of board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. The RGI network's founding physicians have been practicing in Ohio for many years and bring a depth of experience with the diverse fertility presentations seen across the state's varied patient population.
The Westerville location's clinical model emphasizes continuity: patients work with a consistent physician throughout their diagnostic and treatment arc. This matters particularly during IVF cycles, where understanding a patient's history, ovarian response patterns, and prior protocol outcomes allows for meaningful protocol adjustments between cycles.
Supporting the medical team are registered nurses, ultrasound technicians, and IVF coordinators who manage the operational details of a treatment cycle — medication instructions, monitoring schedules, lab results communication, and transfer preparation. For patients navigating fertility treatment while maintaining a work schedule or family responsibilities, responsive staff communication is as important as physician expertise.
Services and Treatments
The Westerville location offers a comprehensive menu of reproductive medicine services:
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) — fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles with individualized ovarian stimulation
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) — for male-factor infertility, prior fertilization failure, or low fertilization rates
- Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A / PGT-M) — chromosomal screening and single-gene disorder testing before embryo transfer
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) — transfer of cryopreserved embryos in a medicated or natural cycle
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) — a first-line approach for unexplained infertility, mild male-factor, or ovulatory dysfunction
- Ovulation Induction — monitored cycles with oral or injectable medications
- Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation) — elective preservation and medically indicated preservation before cancer treatment
- Donor Egg Cycles — with anonymous or known egg donors
- Male Infertility Evaluation — semen analysis, sperm DNA fragmentation, and hormonal workup
- Fertility Surgery — laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis and tubal disease; hysteroscopic procedures for uterine polyps, fibroids, and adhesions
- Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Evaluation — comprehensive immunological, anatomical, and genetic investigation
- Cancer Fertility Preservation — rapid protocols for patients facing oncology treatment
Laboratory and Success Rates
RGI Ohio's embryology laboratory infrastructure supports the full IVF cycle: ICSI fertilization, extended culture to blastocyst stage, PGT biopsy and coordination with genetics labs, embryo grading, and vitrification for cryopreservation. The laboratory environment — temperature stability, incubator performance, culture media quality, and embryologist skill — is a primary driver of IVF outcomes, and the RGI network invests in maintaining laboratory standards across its Ohio locations.
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
Westerville sits north of Columbus along the I-71 corridor and is accessible from the surrounding communities of Worthington, New Albany, Gahanna, Dublin, and Delaware County. The N Cleveland Ave location is a suburban clinic setting — accessible by car, with parking available, and oriented toward the schedule of working professionals and families managing the demands of fertility treatment alongside daily life.
Central Ohio patients benefit from having a fertility clinic that is part of an established state-wide network. The RGI affiliation means the Westerville practice has access to shared clinical protocols, laboratory expertise, and institutional knowledge built across years of Ohio-based fertility medicine. At the same time, the Westerville location functions as a community practice — patients are not anonymous volume in a large academic system, but known individuals in a practice where staff and physicians recognize their cases.
Patient reviews of RGI's Ohio locations consistently highlight the clarity of communication from the clinical team and the sense of being supported through what is often an emotionally and physically demanding 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
Ohio does not have a state mandate requiring insurers to cover IVF or fertility treatment. Patients in the Columbus metro area typically pay out of pocket for IVF, PGT, and related procedures unless their employer-sponsored plan includes specific fertility benefits. Some larger Columbus-area employers — particularly those in the technology, financial services, and healthcare sectors — have added fertility benefits voluntarily.
The RGI financial team can help patients with benefit verification, out-of-pocket cost estimates, and financing options. Patients should ask about any multi-cycle package pricing or shared-risk structures the practice offers, which can reduce the financial risk of a cycle that does not result in pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Westerville location different from the RGI Canton location? They are both part of the RGI Ohio network but serve distinct geographic patient populations. The Westerville location at 540 N Cleveland Ave is the central Ohio / Columbus-area hub, serving patients from Westerville, Columbus, and the surrounding northern suburbs. The Canton location serves northeast Ohio — Stark County and surrounding communities. Patients in the Columbus area should use the Westerville address.
Is RGI a good fit for patients with PCOS? Yes. Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common causes of ovulatory dysfunction and is a frequently treated diagnosis at RGI's Ohio locations. Patients with PCOS may respond more strongly to ovarian stimulation, which requires careful protocol adjustment — experience with PCOS-specific protocols is a meaningful clinical consideration when selecting a fertility practice.
Does the practice accommodate patients with male-factor infertility? Yes. Semen analysis is a standard part of the initial workup for any couple. When male-factor infertility is identified, the physicians can recommend IUI (for mild cases), ICSI combined with IVF (for severe cases), or hormonal treatment for identifiable hormonal causes. Cases requiring surgical sperm retrieval are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
What is the process for a first consultation at the Westerville location? Patients typically schedule an initial consultation, which includes a review of medical history, early cycle blood work (AMH, FSH, estradiol, antral follicle count), and in some cases a semen analysis. Based on the workup, the physician presents a diagnosis and treatment recommendation. From consultation to treatment start, the timeline depends on diagnosis and the patient's next menstrual cycle.
