OUR LABORATORY
An IVF Lab You Can See
Our onsite, open-concept IVF laboratory is where your eggs, sperm and embryos are cared for — led by a director who previously led a lab ranked #1 in the US for IVF success.
Open-Concept, Smart-Glass Design
Our laboratory uses smart glass, so patients can see the space where their eggs, sperm and embryos are cared for. We believe that transparency helps patients feel more connected to their care.
Embryology and andrology are both onsite, so every laboratory step is handled under one roof by our own team.

Vitrification is a rapid-freezing technique used to preserve eggs and embryos. It helps protect cells from ice crystal formation during freezing.
What is ICSI?
ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is a technique in which an embryologist injects a single sperm into each mature egg to help fertilization.
How are my eggs and embryos tracked?
Our laboratory follows careful identification procedures at every step, from collection through culture, freezing and transfer.
