It’s been a while since I posted, but let me reassure you that we have not been on holidays. We have been busy!
Since we opened the doors to Aurora, we have been bustling with activity. It has been very exciting for us to get our donor and partner intrauterine insemination programs up and running. We also recently completed our first series of IVF treatments. It went very smoothly, thanks to our awesome and experienced staff who worked hard to give our patients the best experience possible. The feedback has been enormously positive.
We have also been working very hard to reduce the wait times for consultation at Aurora. We thank all of the women and couples who have waited a long time to see us for their patience as we made this transition. We understand how frustrating infertility is, and how much a long wait list to see a specialist can add to that. The good news is that we are able to see couples experiencing fertility problems much more quickly now – within 4 months at most right now.
It’s rewarding to see our vision for fertility care come to life at Aurora, and it’s a privilege to be a part of your journey.

Aurora started off as a thought and a dream almost 2 years ago. At first, the question was simply “How can we do better?” How can we provide better fertility care? How can we improve access to fertility treatments in Saskatchewan? How can we make it a better experience? And it soon became obvious that the answer was Aurora – new clinic, a new way of delivering care, a whole new approach.
So here we are ready to open our doors and we are so excited to welcome you to Aurora. First of all, we are thrilled about the clinic that we designed. It is located on the lovely South Saskatchewan River. We put a lot of thought into creating an environment that is warm, comfortable and efficient. It also has the space and flow to allow us to see more patients, and this means shorter wait lists. We know that after months or years of waiting to get pregnant, the last thing you want to hear is that you have to wait to see the specialist.
One of the most important parts of a fertility clinic is behind the scenes. The laboratory at Aurora is state-of-the-art, and was designed by scientists at the forefront of the field. This is so important because this is where the miracles happen!
And let’s not forget the team. We are so happy that some of our dedicated team chose to join us from our previous practice. We can’t emphasize how valuable their experience, compassion and commitment is to the care we provide at Aurora. And we are also welcoming some new team members who will shake us up and challenge us to push our boundaries and solve problems in new ways.
So here we are! And we are ready to welcome you to Aurora! You’ve come to the right place.
