Jacksonville Center for Reproductive Medicine

What Jacksonville Center for Reproductive Medicine does

Jacksonville Center for Reproductive Medicine (JCRM, also operating as Advanced Reproductive Specialists/ARS) is a private, independently owned fertility and reproductive endocrinology practice founded in 1994 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The practice delivers a comprehensive clinical portfolio spanning fertility evaluation, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), ovulation induction, egg and sperm freezing, preimplantation genetic testing, gender selection, and complex gynecologic surgery — including endometriosis excision, adenomyomectomy, myomectomy, presacral neurectomy, and occult inguinal hernia repair for pelvic pain. The clinical team is anchored by two named reproductive endocrinologists, Dr. Michael D. Fox and Dr. Christopher W. Lipari, with a procedural depth that is unusual for a community-scale practice, particularly in complete endometriosis excision (cited as available from fewer than 25 US gynecologists) and occult hernia treatment (fewer than five US programs).

The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model with per-cycle and per-procedure billing, supplemented by an egg donor compensation program ($6,000 per cycle, up to six cycles per donor). To widen the addressable market, JCRM offers a 10% military discount on IVF, accepts CareCredit, and has exclusive Northern Florida partnerships with WINFertility (10–20% bundled treatment discount) and Prosper Healthcare Lending (loans up to $100,000, 84-month terms). Distribution is direct-to-consumer across four regional offices — Jacksonville and Gainesville and Panama City in Florida, plus Macon, Georgia — supplemented by telemedicine, a patient portal, an online appointment request system, and a multi-channel content marketing presence (blog, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X). Patient acquisition is driven by self-referral, OB/GYN physician referrals, and organic content; there is no disclosed institutional or enterprise customer base. The practice is independently owned, with no parent company, no private equity or venture capital involvement, no patents, and no disclosed AI or digital-health technology stack beyond standard telemedicine and patient-portal tools.

Products and services

• Fertility Evaluation Comprehensive fertility assessment that includes recommendations based on age, duration of infertility, and underlying factors impacting reproductive success. Targeted at individuals and couples seeking diagnosis before treatment.
• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Advanced reproductive technology in which a woman's eggs and man's sperm are combined in the laboratory to create embryos for transfer into the uterus. Includes ultrasound-guided embryo transfer.
• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Minimally invasive procedure in which cleaned sperm is inserted directly into the uterus to reduce the distance sperm must travel to reach the egg. Used for mild to moderate male factor infertility.
• Ovulation Induction (OI) Fertility treatment using oral fertility drugs such as clomiphene citrate or letrozole to stimulate egg production in women who do not ovulate regularly.
• Egg & Sperm Freezing Fertility preservation service allowing individuals to freeze eggs or sperm for future family building.
• Genetic Testing Preimplantation genetic testing and screening services to identify genetic conditions in embryos before transfer as part of IVF treatment.
• Gender Selection Family balancing service allowing parents to choose the sex of their baby as part of IVF treatment.
• GYN Surgery Gynecological surgical procedures including minimally invasive reproductive surgery for fertility treatment.
• Sperm Aspiration Surgical procedure to retrieve sperm for use in IVF when male factor infertility is present.
• Endometriosis Excision Surgery Complete laparoscopic excision surgery for endometriosis, considered the gold standard treatment, with wide peritoneal excision for definitive removal of endometrial tissue. The practice claims fewer than 25 gynecologists in the US perform extensive excision surgery.
• PCOS Treatment Comprehensive PCOS management focusing on insulin resistance through nutrition (ketogenic approach) and medication to reduce hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenic symptoms, combined with ovulation induction for fertility patients.
• Adenomyomectomy Surgical procedure to remove adenomyosis (endometrial cells in the uterine muscle wall) while preserving the uterus for women who wish to maintain fertility options.
• Presacral Neurectomy Nerve-cutting procedure to optimize long-term pain control, often combined with adenomyomectomy or hysterectomy for patients with chronic pelvic pain.
• Myomectomy Surgical removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, preferred over uterine artery embolization for fertility patients.
• Egg Donor Program Compensated egg donation program for infertile couples. Screening includes drug, fertility, genetic, psychological, and STD testing. Donors receive $6,000 per donation cycle and may donate up to six times.
• Occult Hernia Diagnosis and Treatment Diagnosis and surgical repair of hidden inguinal hernias that cause pelvic pain in women, often associated with endometriosis. The practice is among fewer than five programs in the US offering this treatment.

Broad incumbents

• Boston IVF: Large multi-site fertility network affiliated with major academic centers, offering the same core ART services as JCRM but with a significantly broader geographic footprint and brand recognition.
• Shady Grove Fertility: One of the largest US fertility practices, now part of US Fertility, with broad IVF, IUI, and donor services. Comparable core offering but with significantly larger physician bench and geographic footprint than JCRM.
• Inception Fertility: PE-backed parent company of multiple fertility clinics including Prelude and Aspire. Comparable service portfolio at portfolio level but represents the institutional capital model that JCRM would compete against or potentially partner with.
• Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey (RMA): National fertility network offering IVF, IUI, PGT, and fertility preservation across multiple states. Comparable specialty services but operates at much greater scale and with academic-research positioning.
• CCRM Fertility: Large national fertility platform with multiple clinics across the US offering IVF, genetic testing, and fertility preservation. Comparable in core service line but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth than JCRM.

Direct peers

• Brown Fertility: Jacksonville, FL-based fertility clinic offering IVF, IUI, egg freezing, and third-party reproduction. Directly competes with JCRM in the same Jacksonville primary market with overlapping service lines and patient demographics.
• Center for Endometriosis Care: Atlanta-based specialty clinic focused on excision surgery for endometriosis and pelvic pain. Operates in JCRM's secondary Georgia market and is a direct peer on the differentiated endometriosis service line.
• Seckin Endometriosis Center: New York-based specialty center focused on endometriosis excision surgery and pelvic pain. Direct comparator on JCRM's most differentiated service line, competing for cross-regional endometriosis patients.
• Florida Institute for Reproductive Medicine: Jacksonville-headquartered fertility center providing IVF, IUI, fertility preservation, and reproductive endocrinology services. Operates in the same primary market as JCRM with comparable offerings.

Regional players
