Welcome to Arbor

Fertility care that starts with listening.

Too many families begin their fertility journey feeling like a number. At Arbor, we do things differently. You'll work directly with our care team from day one — building a relationship, not just a treatment plan. Whether you're a couple, a single parent, or an LGBTQ+ family, you are seen, supported, and never just a chart.

We combine the most advanced reproductive technology with deeply personal attention, transparent pricing, and a pace that respects your emotional and physical well-being. We also offer 10% off for all healthcare workers, educators, first responders, and veterans — because the people who care for our community deserve care in return.

Testimonials

Stories from Our Families

Dr. Zarek and her team are nothing short of incredible. After being at a fertility clinic at the public hospital for 3 and a half years, we transferred to Arbor hoping to get better results, a deeper connection to our care team, and ultimately to feel comfortable and supported during such a difficult/stressful/important time in our lives. We were tired of feeling like we were on a conveyer belt, getting the same treatment options as other patients without room for conversations or changing things to better suit our situation. We found all of that and then some with Arbor. Dr. Zarek is such a down to earth person who genuinely cares about the patient and their family. We are so grateful for Arbor and all that they have done to make our dreams of having a family a reality. Without them I’m not sure where we would be. If you are considering switching from your current clinic or are just starting your fertility journey, Arbor is the perfect choice!

Logan D.

The first time we met Dr. Zarek we instantly knew how deeply she cares about her patients. She guided us through our journey with her caring personality, which led us to be able to remain calm and trust the process. We are so grateful for all of her guidance and support in order for our family to be blessed to get our miracle baby! We would like to say Thank you Dr. Zarek and all of our Arbor Family!

Cortnie V.

The main reason we chose Arbor Fertility was because of the immaculate care from Dr. Zarek! I had never spoke with a doctor so in tune with my emotions and goals… She was so compassionate, making sure my husband and I both felt comfortable.

Katie M.

Whether it was answering endless questions, working around crazy schedules, or just helping us navigate everything that comes with IVF, Dr. Zarek was with us every step of the way. We cannot imagine our life without Andi and Paxton, and owe that to Dr. Zarek!

Arbor Fertility patient

I will forever be thankful to Dr. Zarek and her team for making our dream come true.

Brittany M.

We love Dr. Zarek and the whole team at Arbor Fertility! Let’s be honest, infertility is basically one of the worst, most heavy experiences that someone can walk through. Yet everyone keeps everything so light at appointments that I forget the suck of the situation for a bit, which I appreciate. But it is still obvious that they are all just as invested in the wins and losses as we are. You won’t be just a number or a patient here.

Alicia A.

We have waited for so long to have our home be filled with the sounds of a baby, and with Dr. Zarek and the Arbor team’s help, we’re enjoying the sounds of two babies! We are so thankful for their role in our journey and praise God we get to be our girls’ parents!

Mariah E.

Everything was seamless. We knew what we were getting into, everything about the clinic was very transparent. We never had any unexpected surprises, whether thats additional cost, procdures, anything. They did what they said. They feel like family to us. They took great care of us. Created a beautiful baby girl we are so happy to have and for us we thought it was something we wouldn’t have and here we are!

Regan V.

Dr. Zarek changed our lives in so many ways. Not only did she help us achieve a life long dream of becoming parents, but she restored my faith in medical providers through her kind and caring personality. No matter what happened, she worked tirelessly to help us get our miracle baby and was with us every step of the way.

Katie S.

From day 1, Dr. Zarek and Arbor Fertility treated our family with care and compassion. At no point did we feel like a number. During the initial consultation, all of our treatment options were clearly communicated and we were able to transparently talk about what was best for our family. The entire time, Dr. Zarek made herself available and responded to our questions outside of regular business hours. She never made us feel like we were bothering her with “silly questions”. The entire experience was extremely personable and the clinic provided a warm and positive environment. Their mission is to provide concierge service without the steep price tag and they delivered on all fronts. Our family is now complete, thanks to Dr. Zarek and her team!!

Lynda K.

From our first consultation to our successful IUI, we felt Dr. Zarek was in this fertility journey with us. She was direct, compassionate, positive, honest, kind, and caring. She was exactly what we were looking for in a fertility doctor.

Arbor Fertility patient

Dr. Zarek has been the best doctor I have had the pleasure to work with. She made me feel important and truly cared about me and my well-being. I cannot say enough great things about her or her staff. Everyone was always so nice to me and greeted me like a friend. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with infertility.

Arbor Fertility patient

Dr. Zarek is hands down the most amazing doctor I’ve ever had! She always explained everything and sat down to make sure my husband and I’s questions were answered before she left the room.

Arbor Fertility patient

From our very first appointment, we have always been confident that we were exactly where we needed to be. Dr. Zarek is knowledgeable and accomplished, of course; but it is her compassion, sincerity, calm confidence, and wit that have always gotten us through the peaks and valleys that inevitably come in this journey.

Arbor Fertility patient

Dr. Zarek made me feel like I am her only patient; she was attentive and kind, and I could reach out to her anytime with questions or concerns.

Arbor Fertility patient

The staff at the clinic is very friendly and helpful. They recognize you when you walk in the door and they treat you like family. Everyone is so supportive and kind.

Arbor Fertility patient

I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Dr. Zarek and her staff. A journey through fertility can be scary, overwhelming, and uncomfortable, but she made the whole process easy to understand and as comfortable as possible.

Arbor Fertility patient

These people work tirelessly for you, often coming in on weekends to make sure you are getting the care you need when you need it! I also loved how they knew my name and personally greeted me every time!

Arbor Fertility patient

The most incredible doctor and staff I’ve ever worked with, hands down. Everyone is kind, patient, punctual, and genuinely cares about you as a patient. I can’t recommend Dr. Zarek and her staff highly enough!

Arbor Fertility patient

I would tell people that Dr. Zarek is going to be the best communicator of any doctor I’ve ever met with. In terms of availability, you have her cell phone number and she’s very responsive. I’ve never felt so comfortable messaging a doctor, but she is very down to earth and genuine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit is a 30-minute consultation with your fertility specialist. We'll review your medical history, discuss your goals, and outline potential treatment paths. Many patients find it helpful to bring their partner and a list of questions. There's no pressure to decide anything on day one.

Do you accept insurance?

We are in-network with Cigna, Oscar, Anthem BCBS, UHC Commercial, Ambetter, Oxford, Aetna, Humana, and GEHA. Our financial counselor will verify your coverage before treatment begins and help you understand any out-of-pocket costs upfront. Even when out-of-network, our published self-pay rates are often lower than the post-deductible billed total at competitor clinics.

How long does an IVF cycle take?

A typical IVF cycle takes about 2–3 weeks from the start of medication through egg retrieval. This includes ovarian stimulation (typically 10–14 days), monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo development. Because Dr. Zarek performs frozen embryo transfers (FETs), embryo transfer takes place in a separate cycle, typically no sooner than 4–6 weeks after egg retrieval. Your care team will create a personalized timeline based on your treatment plan.

What fertility preservation options do you offer?

We offer egg freezing, embryo freezing, and sperm banking. All samples are stored securely on-site for the duration of your treatment. For long-term storage, typically 3–6 months or longer, we partner with CryoFuture for secure off-site cryopreservation and storage. We also offer fertility preservation consultations for patients facing medical treatments that may affect their fertility.
