About
London Pino, MSN, RN, FNP-C came into reproductive medicine from the patient’s side of it. “Reproductive medicine holds a special place in my heart,” she says on the practice’s own interview page, “as my husband and I struggled with infertility and without it we wouldn’t be parents.”
Her credentials are in the nursing sequence rather than the physician one: BSN, MSN with the family nurse practitioner line, RN. That makes her a nurse practitioner, not a doctor - a distinction worth holding onto when booking, since protocols, diagnoses and transfer decisions stay with the practice’s reproductive endocrinologists. Her work is the counseling, the scanning and the procedures in between.
The route to that work ran through delivery rooms. She started her nursing career in labor and delivery in 2012 and spent the first several years there, and describes what kept her in it: “watching them become parents for the first time or watching their families grow.” After earning her nurse practitioner credential she stayed in women’s health, working at an OB/GYN office, before moving into reproductive medicine with Shady Grove Fertility in 2021 - drawn, in the practice’s description, both by the field’s scientific innovation and by the chance to help people through family building. She studied at Chamberlain College of Nursing in Downers Grove, Illinois (bachelor’s in nursing) and at Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts (master’s in nursing, family nurse practitioner).
Outside work she is a competitive cheerleader - from childhood through college, including a stint cheering at the NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii during her senior year of high school - and spends her time travelling with her husband, daughter and doggy daughter.
Clinical Expertise
The practice describes her responsibilities since 2021 in these terms:
- Fertility treatment counseling: the first item on its list for her, talking patients through the different treatment options rather than a single protocol
- Monitoring and baseline ultrasounds for fertility preservation and treatment cycles: the scans that track follicle growth and lining, explicitly including egg freezing and preservation cycles as well as treatment cycles
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI): performs the procedure
- Endometrial biopsy: the uterine-lining sampling that forms part of an infertility workup
- Mock embryo transfer: the practice catheter pass that maps the cervical route before transfer day
- Continuity from pregnancy care back through preconception, from more than a decade of labor-and-delivery and OB/GYN practice
One caution about the source: the practice’s Pennsylvania pages present a shared “My roles at Shady Grove Fertility” checklist that is identical for its nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and it adds HSG, saline sonograms, urgent pain-and-bleeding evaluations, physical exams and lab review. That list is not person-specific in the source, so only the duties named in Pino’s own biography are attributed to her here.
Why Choose London Pino
She has been through the waiting. Pino and her husband conceived after infertility treatment, and she says so publicly on the practice’s page. In a field where counseling sessions can turn into a recitation of statistics, she is the clinician on this team with a personal history of the same route - which is a stated fact about her, not an inference about her bedside manner.
A labor-and-delivery background, from 2012 onward. Most fertility-monitoring nurses have never managed a delivery; Pino spent her first several nursing years in one, and then practiced women’s health in an OB/GYN office. For patients who worry about what happens after a positive test, the person doing the monitoring ultrasound has been on the far side of that.
She covers fertility preservation as well as treatment. The practice names monitoring and baseline ultrasounds for fertility preservation inside her duties - the egg-freezing patient group, whose cycles are timed to a schedule rather than to a partner’s.
She has been in this seat at Chesterbrook since 2021, longer than the practice’s most recent advanced-practice addition, and her profile lists a single office: Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania. No second-state schedule is claimed for her, unlike some of the physicians on this team.
No inflated evidence here. Her page’s testimonial block displays praise written about other clinicians (Dr. Harris and Dr Griffith), so it is not used as evidence about her care; her graduation years and pre-2021 employer names are not published; and no outcome figure on this site is hers. The SART 2023 rates shown for this clinic are reported for the registry entity “Shady Grove Fertility | Chesterbrook” (ClinicPKID 2029, SART number 0317), which aggregates several Pennsylvania offices and counts IVF cycles rather than individual clinician results.
Professional Affiliations
Certified family nurse practitioner (FNP-C) and registered nurse (RN) - nursing credentials, not physician licensure, and her profile lists no physician board certification. Member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Her education is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain College of Nursing and a Master of Science in Nursing - Family Nurse Practitioner from Simmons University; the practice does not publish the years either degree was awarded.
Suitable For
- Patients at the option stage, before a plan is fixed, since treatment counseling is the duty the practice lists first for her
- Egg freezing and fertility preservation cycles, where monitoring and baseline scans drive the calendar
- Stimulated treatment cycles needing repeated monitoring ultrasounds
- IUI cycles, for which she performs the insemination
- Patients scheduled for an endometrial biopsy or a mock transfer as part of a workup or transfer planning
- Anyone who wants continuity into early pregnancy, given her labor-and-delivery and OB/GYN history
Her listed practice site is Chesterbrook, PA only, so appointments with her should be expected at that office; egg retrievals and embryo transfers, when they are needed, are procedures for the practice’s physicians, performed at Chesterbrook or at the group’s Towson, MD location.
