About the Center for Reproductive Medicine

 

 

When you come to the Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM), you are not just a patient, you’re part of a team committed to helping you achieve your goal.

 

Every member of your CRM team is committed to providing compassionate, respectful and high-quality medical care. Your team includes talented doctors, embryologists, andrologists, nurses, psychologists, geneticists, laboratory technicians and support staff who work with you to give you the best chance for a healthy pregnancy.

 

History of CRM

The Center for Reproductive Medicine was established in July 1987.  CRM is dedicated to excellence in the treatment of infertility and committed to compassionate patient care.

 

How Does The Teamwork At CRM Impact Patient Success?

 

 

An accurate diagnosis is key to an effective treatment plan

Whether you’re just starting a family or you’re struggling to have another child, our fellowship-trained reproductive medicine specialists have significant expertise diagnosing why you are having trouble conceiving — including why past attempts with IVF may have failed.

 

Comprehensive fertility treatments provide every conceivable chance for success

A simple problem may have a very simple, noninvasive solution. When more complex issues affect your fertility, your doctor will go over all your treatment options and review the associated risks, costs, and odds for success for each one. We’ll work together to determine a treatment plan that will be effective and appropriate for you.

 

Since opening our doors in 1987, we’ve worked hard to be the best at what we do. We offer a full range of advanced reproductive medicine treatments so that we can customize plans for each patient. All our treatment options are proven to be effective. Plus, CRM welcomes all individuals and couples and does not discriminate in any way.

 

We are proud of the positive results our patients enjoy under our care. Our IVF success rates are among the best in Minnesota and speak for themselves.

 

Two locations for your convenience and comfort

We have two beautiful and comfortable offices in Minneapolis and St. Paul for your convenience and comfort.

 

We perform ultrasound and hormone evaluation during ovulation treatment cycles as well as inseminations. We’re always available to answer any concerns you have.

 

CRM is a member of the following professional organizations:

 

American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)

Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART)

    Meg Hopeman explained everything in complete detail and took her time! She knew I was a bit nervous and had questions. She was very understanding and showed compassion to me and my husband!

    我夏天要在两个不同的城市之间奔波,所以打电话给这家诊所寻求帮助。他们的态度极其僵硬,一点儿也不帮忙。真是令人失望。他们没法帮我倒不是最主要的问题,真正让我失望的是电话那头工作人员冷漠无情的态度。

    I had an excellent experience at CRM. From the moment I arrived, the reception team was warm, friendly, and professional. The nurses were attentive, knowledgeable, and highly skilled, making me feel comfortable and reassured throughout my visit. I sincerely appreciate the hard work of everyone at CRM. Thank you for your dedication, kindness, and attentive patient care. Keep up the great work!

    She was very kind and friendly to me. She explained everything clearly, made sure I understood the entire process, and walked me through what would happen next step by step. She was wonderful!

    I am currently undergoing IVF, and most people here are wonderful! However, the Asian woman who draws blood seems unhappy and is far too rough. The other staff are much gentler, while she causes more bleeding and bruising. I would remind her that we already undergo multiple injections every day and frequent positioning, which is an extremely difficult experience. It should not be hard to be gentle with patients.

    Hello, good afternoon. I am sorry to bother you, but I have some questions about semen testing. Can you help me obtain this test? My partner and I have been trying to conceive for several months, so I would like to begin with a semen analysis. I am Latino and hope you can help me review the results without too much difficulty. I am willing to pay all costs, but I need your help. Thank you very much, and God bless you.

    Everyone was very polite, and DeNae and Dr. Kapherman were amazing 🤩 I understood everything they said. They cared about me and patiently explained every step. They made me so happy, and I truly am overjoyed to have a beautiful daughter. Thank you so much!

    Dr. Casey is amazing! She genuinely cares about her patients and looks after them sincerely. Everyone on the team is outstanding and helpful!

    Every staff member we met was friendly and welcoming and answered all our questions. Communication about scheduling and next steps was very efficient, and we look forward to working more with the team as we try to conceive!

    I had an excellent first appointment with Dr. Hopeman at the Center for Reproductive Medicine. If you are looking for a compassionate fertility doctor or fertility clinic, I highly recommend them. From the moment I entered the clinic, all the staff were warm and friendly. Dr. Hopeman made me feel truly heard and understood as we discussed my fertility history and plans to conceive. I especially appreciated that she never made me feel uncomfortable for wanting to begin fertility testing early. She explained everything clearly, drew my attention to things I had never considered, and made the process feel less overwhelming. I left feeling reassured, supported, and very grateful to have found such an excellent reproductive medicine specialist.

    I do not usually write reviews, but after three years of treatment at CRM, I felt it was important to share our experience in hopes of helping other families. My husband and I began IVF at CRM in 2022 with very little guidance and a great deal of trust. Over time, we spent a considerable amount of money. After one egg retrieval and six failed transfers, I noticed a small sign in the waiting room advertising a third-party financing program that covered multiple retrievals and unlimited transfers for a fixed fee, with a full refund if no live birth resulted. CRM never proactively told us about this option, which could have saved us a substantial amount of money. Communication—especially with the financial department—was consistently difficult. I encountered rude behavior, unanswered calls, and conflicting information about insurance coverage. When I asked for routine lab orders to be sent to my primary care clinic instead of driving to Minneapolis, my request was refused and dismissed. Clinical communication was also frustrating. I often had to remind staff which medications I could not take and how my body had previously responded to treatment. Despite these issues, we were fortunate to welcome our daughter in April 2024, and I will always be grateful to CRM for helping us build our family. In 2025, while attempting another embryo transfer, I received several voicemails that incorrectly referred to pregnancy complications even though I was not pregnant. We later received unexpected bills for services we had previously been told would be covered by the practice, and our requests for details or a short-term payment arrangement were again met with indifference. After three years, we decided to pay the remaining balance and seek care elsewhere. Although we are grateful for the outcome, I strongly encourage patients to advocate for themselves, thoroughly research every available financial option, and make sure they feel supported by the entire care team. As a nurse, I expect patients to receive the same care and communication that I strive to provide when they are most vulnerable. Infertility is emotionally, physically, and financially exhausting, so support is essential.

    Dr. Josh Kapphammer is an excellent doctor who truly listens to and cares about his patients. I was very nervous about surgery, but he was gentle, reassured me, made me believe I could do it, and remained positive throughout. He is also extremely kind and speaks to you like a person, not just a patient, which I greatly appreciate. I would recommend him to everyone.

    Dr. Mejia was very professional and knowledgeable. She listened carefully to us and developed several treatment options for us to choose from. We left the appointment fully informed about the treatment plan and comfortable with our plans for the future. I highly recommend a small private fertility clinic like CRM instead of a large chain where you are treated as just a number.

    Poor communication caused unnecessary stress and wasted time. My husband emailed the order to CRM, went to South Minneapolis to pick up the kit, completed it, and then went to the hospital. Only then did they tell him that he needed a paper form, so they could do nothing with the sample. Now we have to start over: wait another two days, pick up another kit, and repeat the process. I hope they are more competent at counting sperm than communicating.

    I wish communication had been better. Because of poor communication, they asked me after business hours to reschedule an appointment that I had already waited a long time to secure. Now I had to reschedule again? No. There are other well-regarded fertility clinics available. I declined and left. Very disappointing.

    Throughout my infertility treatment, Dr. K and his team have consistently provided attentive support and clear, transparent information. I want to personally thank IVF nurse Melanie; she truly is the best—compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable. I have full confidence in CRM and feel hopeful about my current treatment.

    I just want to share my experience and journey with CRM. The moment I entered CRM, I knew I would become a mother and that they would bless me with a miracle. We had tried for 13 years without success. I chose CRM for my IVF journey. Why CRM rather than somewhere else? My belief is that it does not matter where you go. Every place has advantages and disadvantages. I simply went in thinking, 'Whatever happens, let it happen.' Others recommended different doctors at CRM, but I chose her because her name was 'Dr. Hopeman.' That gave me tremendous confidence and hope! That was it. Yes, we became pregnant after our first FET with Dr. Casey. Thank you, Dr. Hopeman. Thank you for giving me twins! I gave birth to two very healthy boys last week! Without you and the CRM team, I would not be a mother today! 🥹🥹 Thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤️🥹

    Black queer people: This is not a welcoming place for us. The receptionist was kind, but Dr. Casey showed no interest in us. She was cold, rushed us out, and seemed impatient with our questions. This is an expensive process, so feeling unwelcome or like a burden is a major warning sign. Being in a place run this way is already stressful and overwhelming, and we did not feel at ease. I would not entrust such an important, life-changing matter/procedure to a doctor who is so cold and rude. Dr. Casey needs to do better and become more culturally aware before displaying a rainbow flag on her website. At minimum, she could be warmer and more engaged. Good luck to everyone on your journey. This was not the place for us! Update: After reading other reviews, I realized that her cold attitude was not directed specifically at Black queer people. However, as an extremely vulnerable group, we will leave at any sign that says, “You do not belong here.” I am deeply sorry for every patient/couple who had a poor experience at this clinic. It is very unfortunate. They need to do better.

    I gave 4 stars because my first round was very successful, the experience was excellent, and we had our lovely baby boy. However, the billing department staff are very rude. I hate calling with questions about my bill or trying to get a statement. I also had frozen embryos that we wanted to discard after our second attempt failed. The clinic told us to keep them until our cycle ended and said we would not be charged. When I later called to discard them, they said they would email me an authorization form. They never said my husband and I had to go to the clinic for notarization. Because of this, time passed and we are now being charged. I am disappointed by the lack of communication. We have already paid this clinic a great deal of money.

    The initial appointment coordinator was rude and insensitive. The manager never called me back. Take your money elsewhere.

    Their poor communication has seriously reduced my confidence in this clinic. They mislabeled my blood sample and my spouse's genetic-testing sample. They redid his but never called to tell me mine also needed to be repeated. I learned only after calling the genetic-testing company, which explained what happened. I do not even trust these people to label my embryos correctly. I would not come here if my VA benefits did not require it. The provider did not order enough medication from the beginning. I drove to Minneapolis daily for appointments, was told it was trigger day, then received a nurse's call telling me to return the next day for another ultrasound. I then had to drive around Minneapolis at 8 p.m. seeking more medication. The nurse refused to let me speak with Dr. Kapfhamer: “Well, I am his nurse, and he will only tell you the same thing, so I will tell him you canceled”—Lisa Conway. He is my provider, and I want to make an informed decision about my body. I am extremely disappointed with how this clinic operates. The lack of communication between patients and providers is frustrating, especially when patients spend so much money. If possible, seek ART services elsewhere. I promise you will save more money in the end.

    From freezing my eggs while single in 2019 to a successful pregnancy in 2024, I had a wonderful experience here with Dr. Hopeman. She is very kind, calm, and reassuring. IVF is a long process, and most interactions at the clinic are with nursing staff. CRM divides OB/GYN monitoring and fertility treatment between two companies, making it easier than elsewhere to obtain insurance coverage under OB/GYN codes. CRM is also not a private-equity company like CCRM, which appeared to adopt highly predatory pricing and billing after its last acquisition, so CRM aims to keep prices more reasonable than competitors. CRM's communication still needs improvement. My financial representative initially resisted billing covered claims to my insurer and took weeks to return calls and emails, creating a poor experience. I also found her unprofessional. However, I became pregnant through CRM and plan to return for my second child. Although many administrative issues need attention, the medical care itself is good. Thanks to CRM, I cannot wait to welcome my baby in December 2024!

    Very accurate and honest, explained in a courteous and knowledgeable way. We discussed my options and the professionals involved.
    Sep 16, 2024
    I am very disappointed with this clinic. A year after verbally instructing them to discard my embryos, I still had to pay another year of storage fees. Worse, after telling me I had almost no chance of using the embryo myself, they offered me the option to donate it. This lack of communication and respect for my decision is unacceptable. If you value professionalism and transparency, avoid this clinic.
