Not all embryos are created equal
— and that's where science steps in. PGT-A and PGT-M are two such tools - screening embryos for chromosomal abnormalities and specific genetic disorders before implantation.
By choosing the healthiest embryos, we give every pregnancy the best possible chance.
Because when it comes to building a family, every detail matters.

Medicine was never about the money. It was — and still is - about people.
I entered this field to serve. Back then, pay was low, expectations were simple, and purpose was everything.

Decades later, even as technology advanced and success followed, that purpose never changed - especially in infertility care.
Because behind every patient is a story. Sometimes, a heartbreaking one.

One I'll never forget: a close friend who helped many foreign patients find care in India. His only daughter passed away suddenly at 14. She was his world. And after her, hope seemed lost — until he came to me.

His wife was over 40, the odds were stacked. But sometimes, compassion and science meet in unexpected ways.
👉This is why we do what we do. Not just to treat, but to restore hope. One family at a time

Day 3 or Day 5? The embryo doesn't just grow — it tells a story.
At Day 3, it's 8-10 cells. By Day 5, it's 150. That's not just development — it's proof of potential.

But not every embryo makes it. That's the delicate balance of IVF: waiting for strength to show itself without missing the moment.

👉Wondering what's right for you — a Day 3 or Day 5 transfer?
Ask your fertility specialist the why behind the timing.
It's not just science — it's strategy tailored to your journey

Not all embryos are used right after IVF - and that's okay.
Thanks to freezing, they're safely preserved for when you are ready. So whether you're taking a break, planning for the future, or want to try again later, embryo freezing gives you the flexibility and peace of mind to choose your own timeline.

Science has come a long way and it's here to support your journey, your choices, and your hope.
