About

About Fertility Center of San Antonio

Fertility Center of San Antonio is located in the Oak Hills Women’s Pavilion (7707 Ewing Halsell Dr) in San Antonio, Texas. Founded in 1986 by Dr. Joseph E. Martin, the center has served families for more than 38 years. It holds a pioneering place in assisted reproduction: the first practice in Texas to offer office-based IVF, and the first in the American Southwest to achieve a pregnancy through ICSI.

According to the SART (Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology) 2023 Final report, the center completed 675 ART cycles with a live birth rate per intended egg retrieval of 50.0% for patients under 35, 32.1% for ages 35-37, 21.8% for ages 38-40, and 11.3% for patients over 40. The clinic operates an on-site andrology and embryology laboratory directed by Dr. Gary D. Smith, so samples are processed in-house for faster results. Two senior reproductive endocrinologists, Dr. Gregory S. Neal (since 1999) and Dr. Matthew G. Retzloff (since 2014), both US Air Force veterans, provide one-on-one personalized care.

Why Choose Fertility Center of San Antonio

38+ years of pioneering experience: As the first Texas practice to offer office-based IVF, the center has led the region in IVF, ICSI, and PGT-M since 1986, building deep clinical expertise across every stage of treatment.

On-site andrology and embryology laboratory: Andrology analysis, embryo culture, and PGT biopsy all happen in one location, eliminating outside lab shipping and reducing wait times.

Two military-trained reproductive endocrinologists: Dr. Neal (Cornell fellowship under Dr. Zev Rosenwaks) and Dr. Retzloff (Harvard/Brigham and Women’s fellowship, former SART Executive Council representative) bring 20-25 years of combined REI experience, supported by a stable nursing team with near-zero turnover.

Precision IVF Refund Program: A center-created refund program qualifying at least 70% of couples, covering up to three IVF cycles (including all available frozen embryos), with up to 80% refund if no live birth — paired with a free personalized Univfy PreIVF Report.

Comprehensive family-building support: 30+ years serving LGBTQ+ families, plus egg donation, surrogacy, donor sperm, and gender selection, with special pricing for active-duty military and oncofertility patients (Livestrong partner).

Fees & Packages

According to clinic information published in 2026, the average cost of one IVF cycle is approximately USD 10,000, with ICSI adding USD 800-2,500. Nature’s IVF™ (INVOcell™) offers a significantly lower-cost alternative to traditional IVF. Financing is available through CapexMD and Lending Club Patient Solutions (loans from USD 3,000-50,000, terms 6-60 months), and the clinic partners with Progyny and WINFertility employer benefit platforms. The Precision IVF Refund Program provides up to 80% refund if no live birth is achieved. Active-duty military and oncofertility patients (Livestrong partner) receive special discounts. Final pricing depends on the individualized treatment plan.

Patient Journey

  1. Initial consultation: Contact the clinic to schedule (online form or phone). The doctor reviews medical history, family-building goals, and treatment options before any testing.
  2. Fertility evaluation: On-site andrology and embryology lab completes hormone testing, ovarian reserve (AMH), semen analysis, HSG/hysteroscopy — no outside lab shipping.
  3. Personalized treatment plan: The doctor recommends IVF / IUI / ICSI / PGT / egg donation / surrogacy options, and provides a free personalized Univfy PreIVF Report to support decision-making.
  4. IVF cycle: Ovarian stimulation with ultrasound/blood monitoring → ultrasound-guided egg retrieval (about 30 minutes) → fertilization (IVF or ICSI) → embryo culture for 3-5 days → soft-catheter embryo transfer.
  5. Post-transfer follow-up: Blood pregnancy test about two weeks after transfer; first-trimester monitoring for pregnant patients; cycle review for those who do not conceive.
  6. Out-of-town patient support: Coordination with local physicians for monitoring and medications, an FCSA planner/calendar for cycle management, and negotiated hotel rates (from USD 85/night at partner hotels).

Fertility Center of San Antonio is located in the State of Texas, USA. Texas permits gestational surrogacy, with agreements typically executed with legal counsel and protected under state case law. Egg and sperm donation are subject to US FDA donor screening requirements. Texas does not mandate insurance coverage for IVF, so coverage depends on employer plans (e.g., Progyny benefits). LGBTQ+ family building in Texas involves legal processes such as second-parent adoption; the clinic can connect patients with resources including Family Equality. International patients should confirm the legal requirements of their home country regarding assisted reproduction.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this fertility clinic and the incredible team behind it. From the very beginning of our fertility journey, they made us feel heard, cared for, and supported every step of the way. Going through fertility treatments can be such an emotional and overwhelming experience, but having a team that genuinely cares made all the difference for us. Every doctor, nurse, and staff member we interacted with was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient. They always took the time to answer our questions, explain what was happening, and reassure us when we needed it most. I never felt like just another patient—I always felt like they truly cared about me and our journey. After everything we went through, we are beyond grateful to say that our IVF journey brought us our little miracle. 🤍 Our baby is already so loved, and we will forever be grateful to the people who helped make this possible. Choosing a fertility clinic is such a personal and important decision, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone beginning their own journey. We will forever be thankful for the compassion, expertise, encouragement, and care they showed us throughout the entire process. Thank you for helping make one of the most difficult journeys of our lives one that we will ultimately remember with so much love and gratitude. 🤍✨

If you’re searching for a fertility clinic, I can say with complete confidence that you will be in THE BEST of the best hands here. Today, I graduated from this clinic, & our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. After everything it took to get here, leaving with the greatest blessing of it all feels surreal! To my doctors, and their amazing nurses, ultrasound techs, lab staff, & front desk team…THANK YOU for treating me with such kindness and like family since day 1. Y’all never made me feel like just another patient. I felt like every milestone was celebrated, and even though we did have some months of bad news, y’all didn’t give up on me. I will never forget everything y’all have done for us! Don’t know how I could ever ever repay y’all. We are forever & ever grateful. Dr. Neal & Dr. Retzloff are everything I could have ever asked for in fertility doctors. They really took their time to hear me out about my history and my concerns. You can really tell how much these HERO’S take pride, dedication & care in what they do. Front desk girls were all great! I’m grateful to Ms. Sylvia for answering my questions and taking to her time to make sure I understood everything. She was patient and accommodating. I especially want to recognize Sally & Evelyn. They were always so happy to greet me at every appointment and everytime I would call with a question they were always happy to answer or get me help. And Ms. Roslyn too! My nurses Lupe, Judy, Monica, Nora, Mariela were amazing as well. They made me feel comfortable thru a process I was completely new (and scared) to. Ms. Didi!!!! what an angel! She really left a huge impact for us, she is a bottle of sunshine! Fertility Clinic of SA 100000 stars!

We wish we had come here sooner. Dr. Neal and Dr Retzloff were really amazing and we felt we were in good hands here and not put down or just another number. They were willing to work with us and then offer their recommendation. The office staff was great too they knew our names as soon as we walked in the door. The nurses, the lady who drew blood, even the tech who did the ultrasound were all wonderful. We never imagined we would be here today. After our transfer on September 25, our pregnancy test came back positive and we are expecting our baby boy in June! If we decide to have another child, we will definitely be back and I will always recommend this fertility center to anyone trying to have IVF.

Choosing the right IVF clinic is such an important decision, and we’re so grateful we chose Dr. Retzloff and Dr. Neal. We visited about five clinics before making our decision, and they stood out by providing clear, honest information — including both the pros and cons — which helped us feel confident moving forward. They truly care about their patients and never treat you like just a number. Over time, we built a wonderful relationship with them, and their guidance and support meant everything to us. A special thank you to Monika, Sandra, Ms. Sylvia, Evelyn, Irene, and the entire staff for going above and beyond throughout our journey. Today is our graduation day, and we couldn’t be more thankful. We highly recommend this clinic to anyone in San Antonio looking for compassionate and professional care.

After spending thousands on this journey and not getting the outcome we hoped for it’s stressful that a refund is due back to us and now no one is responsive. Quick to take your money but slow to give back what is due to you. Ashley & Mary have emails in the inbox and are not replying. Do better, be better!

This place is amazing me and my wife absolutely loved the staff and all the drs especially Dr Adam’s we are a lesbian couple and we felt so at ease with no added pressure or judgement. Everything was explained to us well and very transparent. We did a fresh transfer and lucky first stick! We are now 8.25 months pregnant and the baby’s genetics are great. We will meet our baby boy in May and we are forever grateful.

Nice facility but staff lacks communication amongst each other and towards their patients. I frequently had to call myself to get anything going, I was left in the dark several times and when doing so I took it upon myself to speak to the office manager because they didn't even explain something simple as the process. The manager did eventually help me resolve the issue. However, another issue I had was that on my first visit the doctor started discussing another women's medical history with me thinking I was her until I stopped him and told him he had the wrong patient - shocking. My husband and I regret spending hundreds of dollars at this establishment and have started looking elsewhere to find a place that is more trustworthy in helping us achieve our dreams of becoming parents.
