About

Tripod Fertility is a physician-owned IVF and fertility clinic in North York, Toronto, founded in 2015 by husband-and-wife reproductive endocrinologists Dr. Frederick Dzineku and Dr. Chloé Roumain. Operating from a single purpose-built location at 2225 Sheppard Avenue East, the clinic offers a full range of treatments including IVF (stimulated and natural), IUI, egg and sperm freezing with VIOLET™ AI quality analysis, reciprocal IVF, donor egg and sperm coordination, gestational surrogacy, PGT-A genetic testing, and timed intercourse cycles.

Tripod participates in the Ontario Fertility Program with no waitlist for funded IVF, publishes transparent pricing (stim IVF $11,495; natural IVF $6,500; IUI $1,200; egg freezing $6,500), and offers Affirm financing alongside grants from the Fertility Friends Foundation, the doctors' own registered charity. The clinic distinguishes itself as one of the only centres in Canada specializing in reproductive immunology, treating recurrent pregnancy loss and recurrent implantation failure on-site with Intralipid, IVIg, Humira, and Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy.

With a dedicated 2SLGBTQI+ family-building program, single-parent-by-choice pathways, bilingual English/French care, virtual consults, time-lapse embryo incubation, and a 4.3-star Google rating across 64 reviews, Tripod has reported more than 600 babies born and serves patients from across Ontario, out-of-province, and internationally.
