The Fertile Group

What The Fertile Group does

The Fertile Group is a Panama City-based reproductive health clinic founded in 2020 by Dr. Roberto Epifanio, offering a full-spectrum fertility and women's health service portfolio centered on assisted reproduction. Core clinical offerings include intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), IVF with egg donation, IVF combined with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT/PGT-A), the ROPA shared maternity method for female couples, and egg/embryo freezing for fertility preservation, supported by advanced laboratory techniques (ICSI, timelapse embryo monitoring, blastocyst culture, vitrification) and a comprehensive genetic testing suite (PGT, TCG screening 600+ diseases, ERA, non-invasive fetal DNA testing). The clinic operates from a single 300+ square meter facility in the Town Center of Costa del Este, Panama City, housing four integrated consultation offices plus an extraction room, operating room, andrology laboratory, and IVF laboratory.

The business model is fee-for-service professional healthcare, with revenue generated on a per-treatment basis across fertility procedures, diagnostics, fertility preservation, and adjacent gynecology, obstetrics, and pediatrics services. Pricing is quote-based and customized to individual treatment plans, with financing plans available to patients and a $150 promotional first-visit bundle used for acquisition. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on in-clinic consultations, WhatsApp and phone inquiries, an international patient program targeting medical tourism (particularly from Miami via a 3-hour direct flight), and a content-driven top-of-funnel via a 60+ article blog and multilingual SEO. The clinic also cites a 50%+ cost advantage versus comparable treatments abroad as a core value proposition for cross-border patients.

The Fertile Group is privately held and founder-controlled by Dr. Roberto Epifanio, with Jose Diaz listed as Director and shareholder. There is no disclosed external funding, parent company, or holding structure, and the operation is a single-clinic model serving both domestic Panamanian patients and an emerging international patient base.
