Physicians and Clinical Team
Utah Fertility Center is led by a team of board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with subspecialty fellowship training from accredited programs. Dr. Russell Foulk, one of the clinic's founding physicians, has authored research on endometrial receptivity, implantation failure, and recurrent pregnancy loss, contributing to national fertility medicine guidelines. The clinical team includes physicians who specialize in challenging cases such as diminished ovarian reserve, recurrent implantation failure, and complex male factor infertility. Each physician maintains board certification through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology with the subspecialty designation in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. The team is supported by a dedicated team of nurses, embryologists, genetic counselors, and patient coordinators who provide continuity of care throughout treatment cycles.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Utah Fertility Center operates its own on-site embryology laboratory staffed by certified clinical embryologists. The laboratory uses vitrification for all egg and embryo freezing, with post-thaw survival rates consistent with leading programs nationally. The practice has historically reported strong live birth rates relative to national averages, particularly in the under-35 and 35–37 age categories. PGT-A testing is integrated with the laboratory's biopsy workflow, allowing for efficient turnaround on genetic results before embryo transfer. Outcome statistics should always be interpreted in the context of patient population and diagnostic mix. 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 Pleasant Grove campus occupies a modern, purpose-built facility with ample parking and efficient patient flow through monitoring visits. Patients frequently note the responsiveness and warmth of the nursing team in online reviews, with many highlighting clear communication about test results and next steps as a key differentiator. The practice takes a proactive approach to coordinating care across disciplines, including referring patients to reproductive urologists, mental health counselors, and nutritionists as clinical needs arise.
For patients traveling from outside Utah County — including those from the Wasatch Back, St. George, or rural Utah — the clinic offers telehealth consultations for initial evaluations and follow-up, with in-person visits reserved for procedures and monitoring. The intermountain location also makes Utah Fertility Center accessible to patients from Idaho and Nevada who are seeking a high-volume, high-quality program within a reasonable drive.
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
Utah does not have a state fertility insurance mandate, so coverage depends entirely on the terms of your individual health plan. Some large employers in Utah — particularly in the tech sector along the Wasatch Front — have added IVF coverage as a benefit in recent years, so patients should carefully review their summary of benefits or consult with HR before assuming self-pay. Utah Fertility Center works with several fertility financing partners, including multi-cycle discount packages and shared-risk programs for qualifying patients. The clinic's financial coordinators can assist with insurance verification and pre-authorization.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if IVF or IUI is the right starting point for me? IUI is generally recommended first for patients with unexplained infertility, mild male factor, or ovulatory dysfunction, as it is less invasive and less expensive than IVF. IVF is typically recommended when IUI has not succeeded after several cycles, when there are significant tubal factors, more severe male factor infertility, or when PGT is desired. Your physician at Utah Fertility Center will recommend a treatment pathway based on your diagnostic workup.
Does the clinic offer care on weekends for monitoring appointments? Fertility monitoring during a stimulation cycle often requires weekend appointments, particularly for blood draws and ultrasounds that must be timed precisely. Utah Fertility Center accommodates weekend monitoring needs during active cycles. Call (801) 785-5100 to confirm weekend availability before starting a cycle.
What genetic testing options are available? The clinic offers PGT-A (testing for chromosomal number abnormalities), PGT-M (testing for specific inherited single-gene disorders), and PGT-SR (testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements). Genetic counseling is available to help patients understand their risk profile and the clinical utility of testing.
Can I begin with a telehealth consultation? Yes. Initial consultations can often be conducted via telehealth, making it easier for patients outside Utah County to begin the evaluation process without an in-person trip. Diagnostic testing such as bloodwork and ultrasound can sometimes be arranged at a local facility and transmitted to Utah Fertility Center prior to the consultation.
