Clinic: New York
Doctor: Nicole Browne
Conditions: Male Factor Infertility, Endometriosis
Treatments:  Embryo Preimplantation Genetic Testing, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Introduction: A New Beginning at Kindbody

Our journey to parenthood wasn't straightforward. After a disheartening experience with a local fertility clinic, my husband Michael and I made the decision to transfer our care to Kindbody. The journey from Pennsylvania to New York signified a new chapter in our quest to start a family.

Understanding the Challenge: Male Factor Infertility

We were dealing with male factor infertility, a challenge that initially seemed daunting. Our first interaction with Kindbody’s doctors was a game-changer. It instilled in us a strong sense of confidence. "We knew immediately that Kindbody was going to be the right choice for us, and we were right!" I remember thinking.

The Right Choice: First Impressions and Decisions

Our first impressions of Kindbody solidified our decision. There was a feeling of being understood and genuinely cared for, a stark contrast to our previous experiences. The level of empathy and professionalism we encountered was unlike anything we'd seen before.

A Supportive Journey: Overcoming Distance and Difficulties

The physical distance we traveled for our treatments – from PA to NY and NJ – was considerable, but the support we received made it manageable. "It was a long road with lots of back and forth, but Dr. Browne and the entire team kept encouraging and rooting for us," I recall.

Transforming a Negative Experience: The First Egg Retrieval with Kindbody

My first egg retrieval experience was far from pleasant. Sharing this with Kindbody’s team made a difference. They tailored their approach to ensure my comfort, leading to a much more positive experience.

Resilience Through Loss: Coping with an Ectopic Pregnancy

Our first transfer, unfortunately, ended in an ectopic pregnancy. It was a devastating blow. But we weren't alone. The Kindbody team stood by us, offering comfort and support during this challenging time.

Dedication to Success: Dr. Browne's Thorough Approach

Dr. Browne's thoroughness before proceeding with another transfer was remarkable. "She wouldn’t just go right into another transfer without doing a bunch of tests first," I appreciated. Her dedication to uncovering the root cause of our ectopic pregnancy was instrumental.

Overcoming Endometriosis: A Path to Successful Transfer

A minor case of endometriosis was discovered and treated. We weren't certain if it was the cause of our struggles, but addressing it led to a successful second transfer. The relief and joy we felt were indescribable.

Nicole's Advice for Fellow Fertility Journeyers

Be patient, ask questions, do research, breathe, most importantly lean into each other or who ever your support person is. You are not alone. This process is hard and exhausting, but you will soon realize how strong you are. It makes having a family that much more special.

Closing Thoughts: Gratitude and Hope

Reflecting on our journey, our hearts are full of gratitude. The road was tough, but the care and expertise at Kindbody not only helped us overcome our challenges but also filled us with hope. Our successful journey is a testament to their dedication and compassion.


Step closer to the family you've always envisioned.

Treatments:  Embryo Preimplantation Genetic Testing, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Support: Kindbody Support Groups
Members of LGBTQ Community


Below, Briana generously shares her heartfelt journey in her own words below, detailing her experience with Kindbody and the path to building her family. We are deeply thankful to her for opening up about her personal story.

Introduction: A Dream in the Making

For over ten years, my wife and I harbored a dream – to build our family. It's been a path filled with hope, setbacks, and numerous treatments, including four rounds of IUI and two rounds of IVF. Despite these efforts, success remained elusive until we found Kindbody.

Finding Hope with Kindbody

Our journey took a turn when Kindbody opened its doors in DC. Inspired by other success stories and after another disappointing round at a different clinic, we decided to entrust our hopes to Kindbody. The decision felt right, like we had finally found our place.

A Personalized Approach: Feeling Heard and Cared For

From our first consult at Kindbody, we felt heard. Every staff member, from the front desk to the back office, showed genuine care. Particularly pivotal was our decision to undergo a myomectomy and later, the ERA and ReceptivaDX tests – steps that other clinics hadn't suggested but which Kindbody recommended considering our unique situation.

Turning Point: Trusting the Process and Team at Kindbody

Our journey with Kindbody was filled with emotional highs and lows. We faced the challenging reality of having just one viable embryo after testing. Yet, the support and guidance of the Kindbody team never wavered. They were with us at every step, offering hope and expertise.

The Final Stretch: Our Path to Pregnancy

The final embryo transfer was a moment filled with mixed emotions, especially since we were aware this could be our last chance. The Kindbody team's expertise and reassurance were invaluable. Waiting for the results was agonizing, but their constant support made the process bearable.

Gratitude and Reflections: Our Success and Kindbody’s Role

Now, at 15 weeks pregnant, we look back with immense gratitude. This journey wasn't just about the treatments but about finding a team who listened and understood us. Kindbody wasn't just a clinic; it was a partner in our journey, a beacon of hope.

Closing Thoughts: A Message of Hope and Appreciation

To those still on their journey to parenthood, know that finding the right team and clinic makes a world of difference. We are a testament to the miracles that can happen when you're in the right hands. Our heartfelt thanks go to Kindbody – for not just their medical expertise but for their unwavering support and understanding.

Additionally, the KindEMR has the capability to integrate holistic care that is critical to successful fertility and family-building journeys such as nutrition and mental health support. Kindbody has built workflows into its KindEMR that are designed to support all paths to parenthood and personalized care plans for every fertility journey regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status. As the care provider, Kindbody gives patients the ability to securely message their doctor, chat with their embryologist, and access real time insights into assessments and blood test results any time of the day or night. The entire patient journey from consultation to postpartum care, mental health to nutrition support, and billing and benefit information, is organized in one place connecting the dots across the fertility care continuum.

"As for growing companies, it's always rewarding to be recognized for the ongoing commitment it takes to navigate obstacles, transform when necessary, and ultimately create a thriving business," said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media, and telecommunications within Deloitte's audit and assurance practice.

We are proud of all the winners for achieving this well-deserved honor."

Clinic: Chicago
Kindbody Doctor: Angeline N. Beltsos
Conditions: Advanced Maternal Age, Unexplained Infertility
Treatments:  Minimally Invasive Surgery, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Introduction

Meet Kristin and Shay, a remarkable couple whose journey to parenthood led them to Kindbody's Chicago clinic. Battling infertility can be a challenging and emotional experience, but with the guidance of Dr. Angeline N. Beltsos and the compassionate Kindbody team, Kristin and Shay found hope, support, and ultimately, the joy of parenthood.

A Difficult Start

"After months of unsuccessfully trying to conceive on our own, I sought treatment as I knew time was of the essence," Kristin recalls. Facing unexplained infertility and the ticking clock, they began exploring their options. Kristin's background in the fertility field gave her unique insights into the world of clinics, practices, and success rates. Among the choices, Kindbody (formerly Vios) stood out as the clear choice.

A Team of Compassion and Expertise

What sets Kindbody apart? Kristin emphasizes, "I was always met with professionalism, compassion, and sincerity when interacting with everyone at the clinic." From the moment they walked through the doors, the Kindbody team, including receptionists, sonographers, phlebotomists, nurses, embryologists, and doctors, offered unwavering support.

Efficiency and Efficacy

While the warmth of the team was heartwarming, Kristin and Shay were equally impressed by the clinic's efficiency and the efficacy of their treatments. With Dr. Beltsos's expertise, they explored minimally invasive surgery and IVF as potential solutions to their challenges.

Empowering Words for New Journey Starters

Kristin shares valuable advice for individuals just beginning their fertility journey: "It is scary when family building isn't going as planned, but don't push that fear aside. Empower your fear with action and schedule a consult, get a second opinion, educate yourself as much as possible with options, and make your decision armed with information rather than leaving the future up to chance."

Two Miracles

"Because of the expertise of my practitioners, I am happy to say that we have two wonderful children who fill our home with love and chaos," Kristin joyfully shares. Their journey, though not without its struggles, led them to the beautiful destination of parenthood.

Conclusion: A Journey of Hope and Triumph

Kristin and Shay's story is a testament to the power of hope, perseverance, and expert care. At Kindbody, we are honored to have been a part of their journey and to continue helping individuals and couples build their families, one success story at a time.

Introduction: A New Beginning at Kindbody

Our journey to parenthood wasn't straightforward. After a disheartening experience with a local fertility clinic, my husband Michael and I made the decision to transfer our care to Kindbody. The journey from Pennsylvania to New York signified a new chapter in our quest to start a family.

Understanding the Challenge: Male Factor Infertility

We were dealing with male factor infertility, a challenge that initially seemed daunting. Our first interaction with Kindbody’s doctors was a game-changer. It instilled in us a strong sense of confidence. "We knew immediately that Kindbody was going to be the right choice for us, and we were right!" I remember thinking.

The Right Choice: First Impressions and Decisions

Our first impressions of Kindbody solidified our decision. There was a feeling of being understood and genuinely cared for, a stark contrast to our previous experiences. The level of empathy and professionalism we encountered was unlike anything we'd seen before.

A Supportive Journey: Overcoming Distance and Difficulties

The physical distance we traveled for our treatments – from PA to NY and NJ – was considerable, but the support we received made it manageable. "It was a long road with lots of back and forth, but Dr. Browne and the entire team kept encouraging and rooting for us," I recall.

Transforming a Negative Experience: The First Egg Retrieval with Kindbody

My first egg retrieval experience was far from pleasant. Sharing this with Kindbody’s team made a difference. They tailored their approach to ensure my comfort, leading to a much more positive experience.

Resilience Through Loss: Coping with an Ectopic Pregnancy

Our first transfer, unfortunately, ended in an ectopic pregnancy. It was a devastating blow. But we weren't alone. The Kindbody team stood by us, offering comfort and support during this challenging time.

Dedication to Success: Dr. Browne's Thorough Approach

Dr. Browne's thoroughness before proceeding with another transfer was remarkable. "She wouldn’t just go right into another transfer without doing a bunch of tests first," I appreciated. Her dedication to uncovering the root cause of our ectopic pregnancy was instrumental.

Overcoming Endometriosis: A Path to Successful Transfer

A minor case of endometriosis was discovered and treated. We weren't certain if it was the cause of our struggles, but addressing it led to a successful second transfer. The relief and joy we felt were indescribable.

Nicole's Advice for Fellow Fertility Journeyers

Be patient, ask questions, do research, breathe, most importantly lean into each other or who ever your support person is. You are not alone. This process is hard and exhausting, but you will soon realize how strong you are. It makes having a family that much more special.

Closing Thoughts: Gratitude and Hope

Reflecting on our journey, our hearts are full of gratitude. The road was tough, but the care and expertise at Kindbody not only helped us overcome our challenges but also filled us with hope. Our successful journey is a testament to their dedication and compassion.
