Spring Fertility is a physician-founded fertility clinic and reproductive medicine network operating across California, New York and Oregon, offering patient-centred fertility care and pioneering air-free egg and embryo handling.
Spring Fertility is a fertility clinic and reproductive medicine network founded in 2016 by Dr. Peter Klatsky and Dr. Nam Tran, who met during their residencies at UCSF in the mid-2000s. Disenchanted with the constraints of academic medical centres, the pair built the practice around a single premise: care designed from the patient's perspective. The first clinic opened its doors on March 21st 2016 with a team of 13; the network now employs over 300 people across multiple clinics in California, New York and Oregon, and has supported thousands of people on their journeys to parenthood.
The practice has distinguished itself on technical grounds as much as clinical ones. Its embryology work produced the first process ensuring that eggs and embryos are not exposed to air during harvesting and fertilisation cycles - a notable advance in assisted reproductive technology, and a marker of the culture of scientific innovation that runs through the organisation. Colleagues work across reproductive medicine, embryology and assisted reproductive technology at the cutting edge of egg and embryo handling.
Operational detail reflects the same patient-centred philosophy: extended hours to minimise discomfort, weekend consultations and streamlined communication with patients, with a stated commitment to treating every individual as such. For professionals who want to practise reproductive medicine at an ambitious, science-driven organisation with bicoastal reach and room to shape outcomes rather than follow protocol, Spring Fertility offers a rare combination of scale and technical distinction.
