Heartland Center for Reproductive Medicine

Our IVF program combines advanced reproductive technology with personalized care to address complex infertility cases. The process includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo culture, and uterine transfer. Our specialists monitor each stage closely to optimize success rates while maintaining patient comfort and safety. With high success rates and experienced embryologists, we help patients achieve healthy pregnancies through this proven treatment.

Our egg donation program connects qualified donors with intended parents seeking fertility solutions. Donors undergo rigorous screening to ensure optimal health and genetic quality. The process includes cycle monitoring, hormone therapy, and minimally invasive retrieval procedures performed by experienced specialists. Donors receive comprehensive support and compensation ranging from $7,000 to $9,000 per successful cycle while helping others build families.

Our laboratory specialists maintain precise conditions for embryo development following fertilization. Using advanced culture media and monitoring systems, we optimize embryo growth for 2-5 days before transfer. This critical phase allows selection of the highest-quality embryos to maximize implantation success while minimizing multiple pregnancy risks. Our embryologists employ time-lapse imaging and strict quality controls throughout the culture process.

Our egg freezing program preserves reproductive potential for women delaying childbearing due to career goals, health concerns, or personal circumstances. The process involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, and vitrification technology to maintain egg viability. Patients receive individualized counseling about optimal freezing timing based on age and fertility status, with storage available for up to 10 years to support future family planning.

Our andrology laboratory provides comprehensive male fertility assessments and treatments. Services include semen analysis, sperm processing for insemination, and cryopreservation. Specialists address conditions like low sperm count, motility issues, and varicoceles through targeted interventions. We also offer sperm donation services and advanced processing techniques to optimize male fertility contributions to assisted reproduction.

I can not give Heartland Reproduction enough praise! We worked with both Dr. Constance and Dr. Weedin and they were equally phenomenal. We had no issues getting scheduled and the office was very responsive every step of the way. We called almost every day with questions and all calls were either answered straight away or we were called back the same day. This was a very uncomfortable (as it likely is for everyone) process to go through, but the staff, nurses and doctors made it comfortable for us every step of the way.

They're especially great for LGBTQ+ families as they're a very diverse team themselves, including having an LGBTQ+ coordinator, and they treat you with equal respect from the first phone call to the last time you walk out of the building. Again, I cannot give this place enough praise. We were a family that was incredibly nervous to go through this process however, after meeting with the doctors, staff and nurses, though nerves were easy to place on the back burner.

DO NOT go to this place. My husband and I have been going here for five months now with no results. I have tried scheduling two surgery's through them and each one has failed either cause insurance won't cover it or miss communication with the ambulatory surgery center. If I could give this place 0 stars I would as well. People should not have to get there hopes up and then get them crushed when once again nothing is happening. Infertility is a major problem for most women but is not talked about and is hartening when trying to conceive for so long.

My experience with Heartland has been fantastic. We are so lucky to have two successful pregnancies. It was always sad to leave the team at Heartland but for the best reasons, we were pregnant! I would and have recommended Heartland to anyone trying to start a family. They are a great support system.

I was a very fortunate to be a patient of Dr Constance and can not express how wonderful she is. After trying to conceive for two years, we were able to get pregnant after our first round of IVF. Highly recommend going to Heartland.

Dr. Maclin was the only doctor to really listen to me after seeing 3 separate OBs while trying to get pregnant for a second time. After suffering with symptoms that were dismissed, she and her staff helped us figure out what was going on and through surgery, removed several adhesions. It's not cheap, at least 1k up front for labs between my husband and I. Unfortunately, most insurance companies don't cover the full cost of fertility treatments but I did know the total cost of everything up front and some of the tests were optional.

I have not had any surprise bills to date and a woman called to fully understand what my insurance would cover and what the process would look like for me to get approval. For the first time in 3 years, I feel hopeful. The staff here is kind, compassionate and I never felt rushed or like I was just one patient. Fertility issues are agonizing and can really take a toll on your mentally and physically- being under the care of a Doctor I trust and who I feel like really cares about me has made this whole journey more doable.

Our family is beyond thankful for everything Heartland has done for us over the last 9 months. They have been such a blessing to us! Without them, we'd have likely given up on the dream of growing our family. We always felt heard, known, and always received the most thorough explanation of any and all treatments, lab work, and scans. We felt very involved every step of the way. The positivity that radiates in this office cannot be beat.

We're so glad that we've trusted Dr. Gustin and her team to steer us in the right direction. We are so thankful that God put people on this earth to be His hands and feet. We are forever grateful for Heartland Center for Reproduction!

The nurses and doctors are wonderful to work with. Our IVF worked first try. We were lucky and had everyone there being hopeful without also having unrealistic expectations kept us hopeful and grounded. If you have to go here, you are already under quite a bit of stress. It's good to feel like the staff is on your side.
