What Create Fertility Centre does

CReATe Fertility Centre is a private, physician-owned fertility clinic headquartered at 790 Bay Street in Toronto, Canada, with three wholly-owned satellite clinics in Durham (Oshawa), West (Etobicoke), and London, Ontario, plus eight partner clinic affiliations across Ontario and Quebec. Founded by Dr. Clifford Librach and operating for over three decades, the clinic has helped create 9,603+ documented births and is positioned as Canada's largest provider across three categories: in-house reproductive genetics (PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-SR), donor and surrogacy programs, and dedicated fertility research. The clinical offering centres on In-vitro Fertilization (IVF, $9,000 per cycle) and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), supported by comprehensive male and female diagnostics, advanced preimplantation genetic testing, third-party reproduction (egg, sperm, embryo donation; gestational surrogacy), fertility preservation (elective egg freezing and oncofertility for cancer patients), and on-site counselling, wellness, and alternative therapy services. All five practicing physicians hold University of Toronto faculty appointments, and the lab is directed by PhD-level embryologists and a senior Head of Reproductive Genetics, with research output exceeding 150 peer-reviewed publications from the founder alone.

The business model combines one-time procedure fees for IVF/ICSI/genetic testing with recurring cryopreservation storage revenue ($450/year), Ontario Fertility Program government subsidised cycles for eligible OHIP residents, the new 2025 Ontario Refundable Fertility Tax Credit (up to 25% / $5,000 per year), and patient financing through Beautifi (0% interest plans, 6 months to 6 years, $1,000–$50,000+). Go-to-market is hybrid: physician referrals from family doctors and gynaecologists at the top of the funnel, combined with direct-to-consumer acquisition through the createivf.com website, the eIVF patient portal, the FrzMyEggs mobile app (iOS/Android), and Facebook/Instagram social channels. Served customer segments span heterosexual couples with infertility, same-sex female and male couples, single women by choice, oncology patients, transgender individuals, and international patients consulting in person, by telephone, or via Skype. Underlying technology includes an in-house reproductive genetics department with rapid 3–8 week turnaround, EmbryoScope time-lapse embryo imaging with morphokinetic analysis ($925), and integration with Health Canada-approved sperm banks (Repromed, Can-Am Cryoservices, Canada Cryobank).
