Carolinas Fertility Institute - Charlotte #2

About Carolinas Fertility Institute - Charlotte #2

Start with what this address is on the clinic’s own site: not a page, but an entry. Carolinas Fertility Institute publishes one Charlotte page, and inside it lists two offices — Charlotte Location 1 on East 7th Street and Charlotte Location 2 at 131 Providence Rd, Suite 200, Charlotte, NC 28207. Both print the same number, (980) 256-2233. The “#2” in the name of this page is our directory’s disambiguator, matching the clinic’s own numbering. This office has no page of its own on the clinic’s website: an address-specific page our record looked for returned nothing.

The service split follows that pattern: this is a monitoring office inside an eight-office North Carolina network. Evaluation, ultrasound monitoring, HSG, IUI, semen analysis and sperm washing, and the first infertility visit are recorded for this address. So is fertility-related gynecologic surgery — the one item this office’s research record lists and the East 7th Street record does not. IVF itself is not done here: retrieval, laboratory culture and transfer run at the Winston-Salem lab, which the clinic describes as CAP-standard with EmbryoScope time-lapse culture and LifeAire air handling. No JCI or CAP mark appears on the website for that lab, so treat that description as the clinic’s claim.

Outcomes, and whose numbers these are. Everything in the success-rate fields on this page is identical to the East 7th Street page: same SART registration (ClinicPKID 2000036, listed as SART #0836), same four age bands, same 2,695 cycles. That is the whole point of reading it carefully. These are network figures for a reporting unit whose lab work is concentrated in Winston-Salem. They cannot rank Charlotte’s two offices against each other, and they say nothing about this one, which performs no retrievals and no transfers. The rates by age band run 63.2% under 35, 49.2% at 35-37, 32.0% at 38-40 and 11.0% at 40 and over, and our record does not name the denominator behind them — per retrieval or per transfer is a question to ask, not something this page can settle. Fresh-IVF and frozen-transfer columns are null, so no fresh-versus-frozen statement belongs on this page either.

We also decline to say whether those bands beat or miss a national average, because the reporting year of the clinic row cannot be resolved from the fields themselves. The label reads “SART 2024 Preliminary”; the stored link points at the 2023 reporting year; the national row reads “SART 2023” with a link that names no clinic. Pick either reading and the comparison changes. The same network’s finalized 2023 row shows how far these numbers travel between years: 73.5, 55.8, 35.7 and 18.5 in the same bands, over 2,817 cycles. Preliminary submissions also sit below final ones, because late-reporting cycles have not been counted yet. When you compare this practice with another quote, ask which reporting year and which registration — clinic, campus or network — the other side is showing you.

Who you would see. Our directory profiles two physicians at this address, and they are the Charlotte regional team rather than clinicians stationed at one door. Dr. Tolga Mesen is described in our sources as director for the Charlotte area: board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, Wake Forest for medical school, a four-year residency in Charlotte that ended with the chief resident role, then subspecialty fellowship at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Dr. Audrey Garneau holds the same two board certifications. She took her medical degree at the University of Tennessee, completed residency and chief residency at the University of Kentucky, then trained in the same UNC fellowship program. Both profile pages carry a Castle Connolly Top Doctor designation, defined in those materials as the top 7% of US physicians. Those two are a slice of the 17 provider entries the practice lists overall; the nurse practitioners and physician assistants who carry much of the monitoring load have no profiles in our directory.

Two more record-keeping notes you should have. The 5.0 rating on this page rests on a single review: the map entry for this address is registered under the name “Carolina Fertility Clinic” (singular) with the group switchboard number, is flagged as a restricted-view listing, and had one rating when collected on 2026-08-06. Earlier versions of this record carried a 3.2 average over 340 reviews; an audit found those numbers belonged to Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center, a general hospital at 1000 Blythe Blvd with 598 reviews, an unrelated organization that shares “Carolinas” in its name. And the 2020 establishment date is our own estimate for when this site opened — the clinic publishes nothing on that point, so no “founded in” story belongs here.

Accreditations & Awards

• SART registration, network level — one CFI entity (ClinicPKID 2000036, SART #0836) files for all eight offices; this address has no separate registration in our sources
• AIUM ultrasound accreditation — described as covering every CFI office, so monitoring scans at both Charlotte addresses fall under it
• Castle Connolly Top Doctor — carried by the two Charlotte physicians profiled in our directory
• Claims that belong to the network, not to this address — being named among the best US fertility clinics in 2026, and the EmbryoScope system described as a first in the Carolinas, both published by the clinic about CFI as a whole
• Absent from the record — our research found no JCI or CAP certification displayed on the site, and no accreditation specific to this office

Why Choose Carolinas Fertility Institute - Charlotte #2

• More of the workup finishes on site — this office’s record adds fertility-related gynecologic surgery to the monitoring, HSG and IUI menu, so fewer steps push you to another building
• Monitoring near home during stimulation — scans and blood work stay in Charlotte; the Winston-Salem trip is for retrieval and transfer dates
• Same lab either way — whichever Charlotte address books you, embryos are handled in the one Winston-Salem laboratory, and protocols and records stay inside CFI
• A refund-linked option — the CFI Promise Program bundles one fresh IVF cycle with all later frozen transfers and returns up to 50% of fees without a live birth; the clinic says 60% or more of patients qualify, without publishing the screening criteria
• An honest caveat on the thin public footprint — no page of its own, one review on the map entry, and hours identical to the sister office. Verify by phone what this address genuinely hosts before you build a travel plan around it

• Counseling — recorded as a network-level service, not placed at this address by our sources

Donor egg or donor sperm programs, PGT, and gestational carrier work are not documented for this address in our sources, and the practice’s own tags here list only IUI and LGBT-friendly care. Ask directly rather than inferring from the network.

Fees & Packages

There is no published price list. CFI puts financing options and a refund program on its website instead of cycle prices, and our sources do not say which items a cycle fee covers or what bills separately; medication, freezing, storage and lab testing are the predictable variables to question.

Financing published by the clinic: PatientFi offers monthly payments with no hard credit check over terms up to 84 months. Future Family offers 0% APR for qualified patients up to $50,000. Lending Club starts at $181 per month on a $10,000 plan at 8.99% APR over 72 months. Allegacy Federal Credit Union lends up to $10,000 to borrowers with a credit score of 680 or above, and Truliant Federal Credit Union covers $500 to $35,000 at fixed rates from 8.50% APR.

The Promise Program is the only outcome-linked product in our sources: one fresh IVF cycle plus all subsequent frozen transfers, up to 50% of fees back if there is no live birth. Because this office has no page of its own, nothing here is quoted at the address level — ask for the network’s written estimate and check which lab it names.

Patient Journey

1. Records first — prior charts and test results go to CFI before your appointment
2. Registration online — history and intake through the Artisan EMR patient portal
3. Evaluation at Providence Road — a reproductive endocrinologist reviews findings and proposes a pathway
4. Local monitoring — scans and blood work during stimulation; if surgery is part of the plan, this is the address whose record lists it
5. Procedures at the main campus — retrieval and transfer happen in Winston-Salem, with the clinic’s described time-lapse culture and air-handling equipment
6. Which office you attend — one phone line serves both Charlotte addresses, and our sources do not show how bookings are split between them. Ask at scheduling
7. Pregnancy testing and onward care — the interval after transfer and the obstetric handoff are not published in the material behind this page

Local Legal Framework

What our research supports about North Carolina stops at a permission list: IVF, ICSI, PGT, egg donation and sperm donation are all clinically available in the state. No statute number, and no case, appears in the sources behind this page, so none is quoted here.

Donation and parentage. Egg and sperm donation are lawful and in use. The note carried in our dataset says egg donors relinquish parental rights; it is uncited, so treat parentage — for a donor-conceived child and for any gestational carrier birth — as an attorney’s job before your cycle begins.

Gestational carriers. Our sources record no state prohibition and name no governing law, which is a different statement from “North Carolina has friendly surrogacy statutes”. If a carrier is part of your plan, have separate counsel review the agreement, and ask CFI which local legal partners it works with.

PGT. No state-level restriction is recorded in our sources; consent requirements and lab licensing do the governing.

LGBTQ+ patients. No restriction on family building by same-sex couples or single patients appears in our sources for North Carolina. Whether an insurance plan covers treatment is a separate matter, and the material behind this page documents nothing for North Carolina on that point.
