Facilities & Lab

Where the science of family-building happens.

Our Chesterfield clinic pairs a CAP-accredited embryology lab with our exam rooms on the same floor. Every cycle starts and finishes within steps of the team caring for you.

Your experience

A clinic that feels like it was designed for you — because it was.

We know that walking into a fertility clinic can feel overwhelming. That's why every detail of our Chesterfield office — from the cozy consultation rooms to the art on the walls — was chosen to make you feel welcomed, not processed.

You'll never feel like a number here. Our team knows your name, remembers your story, and sits with you in a room that feels more like a conversation than a clinical encounter.

  • Private consultation rooms with comfortable seating
  • A warm, art-filled waiting area — no sterile fluorescent lobbies
  • Dedicated comfort spaces for before and after procedures
  • A care team you'll recognize at every visit

Equipment & technology

Built for precision, not industrial throughput.

Every cycle begins and ends within steps of where you'll meet our team. The Boreas™ IVF facility system ties our incubators, witnessing software, and storage tanks into one audit trail — so you know whose hands touched what, and when, at every stage of your cycle.

We invested in fewer, better instruments rather than the highest unit count, because precision and continuity matter more here than volume.

  • ESCO Fertilisafe workstations with integrated time-lapse monitoring
  • Olympus SZx18 stereo microscope and ESCO Multi-Zone ART Workstation, maintaining precise temperature and humidity control across multiple zones to support optimal conditions for handling eggs, sperm, and embryos
  • High-magnification ICSI micromanipulation stations
  • Vitrification kits with closed-system carriers for long-term safety
  • Boreas vapor-phase liquid nitrogen storage with 24/7 alarmed monitoring
  • Electronic witnessing software at every transfer step

Schedule a lab tour to see the bench up close — we'll walk you past every station.

Meet the lab team

The scientists behind your embryos.

The people running your cycle aren't anonymous technicians in another building. You'll meet both of them on consultation day — and they'll know your case by name.

Standards & oversight

Certified, accredited, and continuously audited.

Our embryology lab carries the same accreditation as the largest academic medical centers — and the same audit cadence. The credentials below aren't decoration; they're the standard we hold ourselves to before, during, and after every cycle.

Accredited & recognized by

Our lab is CAP-accredited by the College of American Pathologists, and our Boreas™ IVF facility system is audited on the same calendar as our clinical operations — not as a separate “lab review.” Recognized in 2025 by the St. Louis Business Journal Best of Business, Most Influential Business Women, and the Discover Missouri Life Awards.

Proven results

World-class facilities. Above-average outcomes.

These aren't aspirational targets — they're third-party verified success rates from our Progyny clinic report, measured against national averages. The equipment and expertise under this roof deliver real results.
