About

Carolinas Fertility Institute (CFI) is an independent private fertility practice and a SART member, founded by reproductive endocrinologist Tamer Yalcinkaya, MD. Before starting CFI he set up IVF programs at West Virginia University and later led the IVF program at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. The practice says it has served Winston-Salem patients since it began in 2015.

This listing is the Winston-Salem office at 3821 Forrestgate Drive, where Dr. Yalcinkaya sees patients with his team. CFI has since grown to offices in Greensboro, Charlotte (two sites), Mooresville, Asheville, Wilmington and Cary. Its physicians include a male reproductive medicine specialist.

CFI provides fertility testing, ovulation induction, IUI and IVF, with EmbryoScope time-lapse monitoring of embryos. It also offers egg freezing for elective and cancer-related fertility preservation, andrology and male-factor care, and da Vinci robotic gynecologic surgery. Donor eggs, donor sperm, embryo donation and adoption, and IVF for gestational-carrier arrangements are available, along with counseling.

Success rates depend heavily on which patients a clinic accepts, so these numbers should not be used to rank clinics against one another. Cells CDC suppressed for small sample sizes (1-4 cycles) are shown as a dash.
