Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute – Tucson (Suite 175) — An Honest Patient Guide

Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute (VARI) maintains registered NPI entity credentials at 1775 E Skyline Drive, Suite 175, in Tucson, Arizona — in the Foothills area of northern Tucson near the Skyline Country Club and Catalina Foothills communities. The E Skyline Dr corridor runs along the southern slopes of the Santa Catalina Mountains, one of the most scenic and residentially desirable areas of Tucson, and is convenient for patients from the Foothills, Oro Valley, Marana, and the northern rim of the Tucson metro.

An important administrative note: The fertility practice operating at 1775 E Skyline Drive appears under multiple entity registrations at this address. This listing — Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC, Suite 175 — is one of the registered provider entities for the clinical program that also operates as the Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (ACREI). There are three related Tucson directory entries on this site:

1. This listing (LLC entity, 1775 E Skyline Dr, Suite 175 — a suite-specific NPI)
2. Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC – Tucson (Skyline Dr) — the primary LLC NPI at 1775 E Skyline Drive without a suite number
3. Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (ACREI) — the main brand clinic at a separate Tucson address (5190 E Farness Dr, Suite 114)

All three are associated with the same clinical team and same practice brand. Patients seeing any of these names on insurance documentation or provider directories are looking at the same physicians and clinical program. For additional Arizona clinic options, see our Arizona fertility clinic directory.

Physicians and Clinical Team

The clinical team at Vivere / ACREI is led by fellowship-trained, board-certified reproductive endocrinologists.

• Michael Doody, M.D. — Dr. Doody is a reproductive endocrinologist who has practiced in Tucson for many years and is affiliated with the ACREI/Vivere practice. He is known in the community for his experience with complex IVF cases and for his involvement in the Tucson fertility medicine community.

• Board-Certified REI Physician(s) — ACREI/Vivere maintains a team of ABOG subspecialty-certified reproductive endocrinologists. Patients should confirm the current physician roster and which physicians see patients at the Skyline Dr location versus the Farness Dr location at the time of scheduling.

• Nursing and Clinical Staff — Fertility nurses manage monitoring visits, medication protocols, and patient communications. The Foothills location serves a patient population that values the convenient Skyline Dr address over a more central Tucson clinic.

Services and Treatments

The clinical program at the Skyline Dr / ACREI practice offers:

• IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) — Full IVF cycles with stimulation, retrieval, embryo culture, and transfer.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) — For male-factor infertility.
• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) — Natural and stimulated cycles using partner or donor sperm.
• Egg Freezing — Elective and medically indicated fertility preservation via vitrification.
• Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) — Transfer of vitrified embryos.
• Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A / PGT-M) — Chromosomal and monogenic disorder screening.
• Donor Egg and Donor Sperm Services — Third-party reproduction coordination.
• Male Fertility Evaluation — Semen analysis and male-factor workup.
• Fertility Assessment — AMH, antral follicle count, HSG, and hormonal evaluation.
• Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Evaluation — Diagnostic workup and management.
• LGBTQ+ Family Building — Inclusive services for all patient configurations.

Laboratory and Success Rates

The ACREI/Vivere practice maintains an embryology laboratory to support its IVF program. Laboratory operations may be centralized at one location; patients should confirm which site handles embryology for their specific cycle. SART outcomes reporting may appear under one or more of the multiple entity names associated with this practice.

Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.

When searching the SART database, try variations of the clinic name — including "Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology," "Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute," and related entity names — to find the complete data set associated with this practice.

Patient Experience

The Skyline Dr location in Tucson's Foothills district is one of the city's most sought-after areas for medical offices serving the affluent northern Tucson residential community. Patients from the Foothills, Oro Valley, and Marana who need frequent monitoring appointments benefit from a Skyline Dr address that avoids the commute to the University of Arizona campus area or central Tucson. The area has excellent parking and a well-maintained commercial infrastructure.

The multi-entity administrative structure of ACREI/Vivere can be initially confusing for patients searching provider directories or verifying insurance. The practical advice is to use the Skyline Dr address (1775 E Skyline Dr) for all administrative correspondence and to ask the clinic's billing team which entity name will appear on claims.

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

Arizona does not have a state fertility insurance mandate. Coverage for fertility treatment in Arizona depends entirely on the employer's voluntary benefit design. The Tucson market includes University of Arizona and state government employees (whose benefits are governed by the Arizona State Retirement System and related plans), as well as patients from the private sector in Tucson's growing tech and medical device industries.

Patients should verify their coverage with their insurer before scheduling. Given the multi-entity structure at this address, verify coverage using the specific entity name and NPI that the billing office confirms will be used for claims.

For patients without coverage:

• Self-Pay Pricing — Request current pricing from the billing office.
• Third-Party Financing — Medical financing options for fertility treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there multiple entity registrations (LLC, the Farness Dr address) for what appears to be the same practice? The Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility operates under multiple legal entities and at multiple addresses, each of which has a separate NPI registration. "Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC" is the legal entity holding the LLC organizational form; ACREI is the brand/practice name. The Suite 175 NPI is the suite-specific registration at 1775 E Skyline Dr, while a second Skyline Dr NPI exists without the suite number. This multi-registration structure is common among practices that have reorganized, added locations, or rebranded over time. Clinically, it is the same physicians and practice.

Which Tucson address should I go to for my appointments? This depends on which location your physician is scheduled at and what procedures you are having. Ask the scheduling team specifically which address to use for consultations, monitoring, and egg retrieval. The Skyline Dr address serves Foothills-area patients; the Farness Dr address (ACREI) may serve a different geographic catchment.

Does Arizona require insurance to cover fertility treatments? No. Arizona has no state fertility mandate. Coverage depends entirely on your employer's plan design.

How do I find SART outcomes data for this practice? Search the SART database for "Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology" and "Vivere Arizona" in Tucson, AZ. The practice may report under one or more entity names. Ask the clinic which SART entry corresponds to your specific treatment.
