State of the Art In Vitro Fertilization Lab

Denver Fertility is an officially accredited IVF laboratory. For those of you who may not know, The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations [MOU1] (JCAHO / TJC) is an independent organization that certifies and accredits health care programs in the United States. TJC sends professional inspectors to laboratories across the country to ensure that their staff, facilities, and procedures meet the exceptionally high standards of TJC which greatly exceed the regulations set forth by state and federal government. There is no requirement for IVF labs to be accredited, however, we feel strongly that accountability to a third-party organization is a core component towards conveying our commitment to exceptional quality to our patients.

Denver Fertility was just recently recognized by LifeAire as a center of excellence. Air quality is often an underemphasized aspect of the embryo culture system. It has been demonstrated time and time again that embryos can be negatively impacted from pollutants in the laboratory air. They simply grow better when they are in a protected environment. LifeAire was designed with IVF in mind. The ability to remove pollutants such as airborne microbes and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the lab is of critical importance.

Matt graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.  It was during his time at K-State where he developed a real interest in pursuing a career in Embryology.  Matt has been around Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) most of his life, as his father started working in human IVF in the early 90’s. He began his career in Embryology in 2014 and has since had experience working at high volume successful labs. Matt enjoys the science of IVF/ICSI and the challenges it can present. He feels it’s incredibly rewarding to know that he is helping patients achieve their dreams of having a family.
