Recognizing the Heart of the Lab

During Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (Lab Week), we proudly recognize the incredible work of our embryologists and lab professionals at Reproductive Partners San Diego. These skilled scientists work behind the scenes, yet their impact is front and center in the lives of every patient who walks through our doors.

Whether you’re undergoing IVF in San Diego, preserving your fertility through egg freezing, or pursuing donor options, the embryologists in our state-of-the-art La Jolla lab are your behind-the-scenes heroes.

What Does an Embryologist Do?

Embryologists are highly trained specialists who handle some of the most delicate and complex steps in the fertility process, including:
  • Receiving and preparing eggs and sperm
  • Monitoring fertilization
  • Culturing embryos and tracking their development
  • Performing embryo biopsies for genetic testing (PGT)
  • Safely freezing eggs, sperm, and embryos
  • Preparing embryos for transfer to the uterus

In short: every embryo you see on an ultrasound screen started with the steady hands and focused expertise of a lab team dedicated to excellence.

What Sets RPSD’s Embryology Lab Apart

At RPSD, our embryology team is known for:
  • Decades of combined experience and board-certified laboratory directors
  • Cutting-edge technology, including time-lapse embryo monitoring and cryopreservation
  • Low multiple pregnancy rates thanks to our commitment to single embryo transfer (eSET)
  • Collaboration with your physician to personalize each case
  • Remarkable consistency and precision, contributing to some of the best outcomes in the region

From early morning procedures to late-night fertilization updates, our lab works tirelessly to support every patient’s dream of building a family.

Our Embryologists Are More Than Scientists

They’re also patient advocates, problem-solvers, and perfectionists who care deeply about your outcome. Many patients never meet the lab team—but their work plays a pivotal role in some of the most life-changing moments our patients experience.

At RPSD, we’re proud to say that our embryologists are among the best in the field. Their attention to detail, compassion, and commitment to excellence drive the success of our fertility center every single day.
