Services
IVF
IVF involves stimulating egg development, retrieving eggs, and fertilizing them with sperm in a lab. Embryos are then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy. Our advanced IVF protocols and success rates make this a leading option for overcoming infertility.
Tubal Reversal
Tubal reversal surgery reconnects fallopian tubes to restore fertility after tubal ligation. Our expert microsurgeons specialize in this procedure, offering a natural conception option for women seeking to reverse prior sterilization.
Gender Selection
Gender selection uses preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to determine embryo sex before transfer. This 99.9% accurate technology allows families to balance their children's genders with precision and confidence.
Donor Egg
Our donor egg program connects patients with screened, altruistic donors under 30. We facilitate matching and coordinate cycles to maximize success rates for individuals or couples facing diminished ovarian reserve or genetic concerns.
LGBTQ Services
We support LGBTQ+ individuals and couples through tailored fertility options, including IVF with donor sperm or eggs, reciprocal IVF, and surrogacy. Our inclusive care ensures all patients receive equitable, compassionate treatment.

I love Florida Fertility Institute. We received wonderful care with Dr. Sanchez and our entire ivf team. He diagnosed a male factor problem in my spouse that our previous Dr. did not. With that and my PCOS is why for 2-3 years we had no luck getting pregnant by ourselves. We started ivf in October and now 5 months later I'm 13 weeks pregnant with our first child. I know everyone's story/circumstances will be different. I truly believe and trust in Dr. Sanchez's knowledge in reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

Dr. Sanchez and his staff are amazing. Dr. and the nurses are very helpful throughout the process. It was a struggle in the beginning when I didn't get a positive result the first try but with patience and support from the Dr and the nurses, everything worked out for the best. Today my son is one week old! I feel so blessed and it was all thanks to Dr. Sanchez. I understand that it may be expensive, but in the end it is worth it.

Dr. Sanchez and his staff are amazing! They were helpful and informative from the beginning. My husband and I had to go through IVF for our second child they made the process easy and answered any and all questions I had throughout. We ended up only having 1 good embryo at the end for implantation and I am happy to say we are now 11 weeks pregnant with a baby boy! We could not be happier with the entire staff and experience! Highly recommend for anyone having trouble conceiving.
