About

Anova Fertility & Reproductive Health is one of Ontario's leading next-generation fertility clinics, operating five locations across the province: a downtown Toronto office at 40 University Ave., a multi-day clinic in North York on Sheppard Ave., Tricity sites in Guelph and Waterloo, and a Sudbury location serving Northern Ontario. Founded in 2016 by Dr. Marjorie Dixon — a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialist repeatedly named to Toronto's Top Doctors lists — Anova pairs one of Canada's most advanced embryology laboratories with a 'high-warmth, high-touch' model of patient care. The clinic publishes transparent pricing online and offers a full menu of fertility services including IVF ($13,999, excluding medications), IUI fully covered under the Ontario Fertility Program, egg freezing packages starting at $8,999, PGT-A genetic testing, donor egg and donor sperm cycles, gestational surrogacy supported through Anova's NMT partnership, and oncofertility preservation for cancer patients.

Anova is a fully participating Ontario Fertility Program (OFP) clinic and recently received expanded provincial funding to deliver more publicly funded IUI, IVF, and fertility preservation cycles. Inclusivity is central to the brand: Anova has built an international reputation for 2SLGBTQI+ family building, supports single individuals and couples through donor pathways, and offers care in over 30 languages including Mandarin, Cantonese, Farsi, Punjabi, Tagalog, Spanish, Hindi, Tamil, and Arabic. Treatment financing is available through Anova's Beautifi partnership (loans up to $50,000), and the clinic walks patients through the federal Medical Expense Tax Credit.

With six fertility specialists led by Dr. Dixon and clinics spanning the GTA, Tricity, and Northern Ontario, Anova is a high-volume option for Ontario patients seeking comprehensive fertility care.
