SpringCreek Fertility

What SpringCreek Fertility does

SpringCreek Fertility is an independent, full-service reproductive endocrinology and infertility practice founded in 2014 by Dr. Jeremy Groll and headquartered in Dayton, Ohio. The company operates three Ohio locations — Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati (opened April 2022) — staffed by a team of 40+ and serving patients across Ohio and adjacent states, with a cumulative base of more than 6,500 families treated since founding.

The clinical offering spans the full fertility care pathway: intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization with ICSI, elective and medical egg freezing, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A and PGT-M), third-party reproduction, oncofertility, and LGBTQIA+ family building. A core technical asset is the in-house embryology and andrology lab operated through MedTech for Solutions, which brings lab work under direct practice control rather than relying on third-party reference labs. The practice is led by two board-certified reproductive endocrinologists — Dr. Groll and Dr. Robert Marelić — a configuration that is unusual for an independent (non-hospital) fertility center and is central to clinical capacity.

The business model is retail self-pay fertility care at published, single-cycle transparent prices (e.g., IUI at $1,200, egg freezing at $6,650, IVF Freeze-All at $14,050). SpringCreek positions itself as a lower-cost, transparent alternative to hospital-based academic fertility programs, with revenue tied directly to per-patient cycle volume. The company is privately held by Dr. Groll and family, with no disclosed outside funding rounds or institutional investors in the source data.

Products and services

• IVF/ICSI (In Vitro Fertilization with Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) Assisted reproduction treatment in which eggs are retrieved under anesthesia, fertilized with sperm in the laboratory (including ICSI where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg for male-factor cases), cultured to the blastocyst stage in specialized reduced-oxygen incubators, and transferred back into the uterus, with optional PGT-A/PGT-M genetic testing. Offered as a self-pay Freeze-All Package priced at $14,050 inclusive of sperm preparation, fertilization, embryo culture, cryopreservation, and one frozen embryo transfer.
• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Fertility treatment that combines ovulation induction, on-site monitoring, bloodwork, sperm washing, and intrauterine insemination to increase fertilization chances, with self-pay package pricing of $1,200 per cycle.
• Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation) Fertility preservation service in which eggs are retrieved under anesthesia and cryopreserved for future use, with self-pay package pricing of $6,650 inclusive of anesthesia, retrieval, and cryopreservation, plus ongoing storage fees for retained eggs.
• Fertility Preservation / Oncofertility Time-sensitive fertility preservation services for cancer patients before they begin chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, including egg freezing for women, sperm banking, and testicular sperm extraction for men.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves8 records

Emerging players

• Kindbody: Venture-backed fertility and family-building platform rapidly expanding across the U.S. with employer-benefit integrations (similar to SpringCreek's Progyny/Maven/CARROT relationships). Comparable inclusive care and employer-channel GTM, but at much larger and more tech-enabled scale.

Broad incumbents

• Boston IVF: Large regional fertility network across the Northeast and Midwest offering comprehensive IVF, IUI, egg freezing, and third-party reproduction. Comparable service mix and patient demographic with similar multi-site operating model.
• Aspire Fertility: Multi-site U.S. fertility network offering IVF, IUI, egg freezing, and LGBTQIA+ family building with emphasis on transparent pricing — directly comparable to SpringCreek's transparent all-inclusive pricing model.
• Prelude Fertility: Multi-site fertility platform (formerly IntegraMed) operating clinics across the U.S. with IVF, egg freezing, and benefit-program integrations. Comparable in employer-channel strategy and inclusive service positioning; relevant benchmark for payer-network leverage.
• Shady Grove Fertility (US Fertility): One of the largest U.S. fertility networks (now part of US Fertility) with 40+ locations across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. Comparable full-service offering (IVF, IUI, egg freezing, third-party reproduction) at much greater scale; relevant for benchmarking roll-up potential.
• Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA): National fertility network with strong embryology and PGT programs and academic affiliations. Comparable in advanced laboratory positioning and full-service offering, but at materially larger scale and footprint.
• CCRM Fertility: National fertility platform with 25+ locations offering IVF, IUI, PGT, egg freezing, and LGBTQIA+ family building. Directly comparable service portfolio and advanced laboratory focus, but at significantly larger scale and with private-equity backing.

Direct peers

• Ohio Reproductive Medicine: Columbus-based independent fertility center offering IVF, IUI, egg freezing, PGT, and LGBTQIA+ family building in the same Ohio market where SpringCreek operates. Directly comparable in service mix, scale, and patient demographic.
• Institute for Reproductive Health: Cincinnati-based fertility clinic offering IVF, IUI, egg donation, and gestational surrogacy. Head-to-head competitor in the Cincinnati market SpringCreek entered in 2022 with very similar service lines and patient positioning.

Regional players

• Fertility Centers of Illinois: Large regional fertility practice serving the Chicago metro and broader Midwest with full-service reproductive care. Comparable multi-site operating model and patient mix; relevant Midwest benchmark despite different core geography.
