You want to be a parent, not a patient. And no one understands that more than the fertility treatment team at the EVMS Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine. We pioneered in vitro fertilization (IVF) in America in 1978, and since then, we’ve welcomed more than 3,800 beautiful babies into the world—and turned thousands of women and men into moms and dads.

We treat southeastern Virginia’s most complex infertility cases, and many area reproductive medicine centers refer their most difficult cases directly to us. Yet our success rate is high. The majority of couples who seek treatment at the EVMS Jones Institute become parents.

We are also global leaders in fertility preservation for men and women of all ages, even children and adolescents. If you are facing cancer, trauma, chronic disease or pelvic surgery, the EVMS Jones Institute may offer a means to preserve your reproductive ability—and your dream of a family.

Our forward-thinking research allows us to better diagnose and more accurately treat infertility, and our dedication to compassionate care is absolute. By creating a friendly, welcoming environment staffed with a highly specialized team of fertility physicians, nurses, and laboratory personnel, we maximize your chances of conceiving.

We know you’re stressed. We know you’re frustrated. But we also know that when you choose the EVMS Jones Institute, you’re in very good hands. Come in and talk to us—even if you’re concerned about cost, lack of insurance coverage, or treatment options. It may be the first step toward a dream come true.
