Peach State Medical Practice, PC (Kindbody of MN) — Minneapolis, MN

5.0 stars / 18 reviews — If you searched the Minnesota Secretary of State or the CMS National Provider Identifier registry for a "Peach State Medical Practice, PC" and wound up confused, you are not alone. The legal entity name suggests Georgia (the Peach State), but the clinic address is in Minneapolis' North Loop. The reconciliation is straightforward once you see it on the NPI record: Peach State Medical Practice, PC is the registered corporate name, doing business as Kindbody of MN Medical Practice, PC. It is Kindbody's Minneapolis fertility clinic — the corporate shell just carries a legacy name from the parent organization's earlier entity filings.

For patients browsing fertility clinics in Minnesota, the practical question is not the legal-entity naming quirk but what the clinic actually offers and how it fits the Twin Cities fertility landscape.


About the Practice

Kindbody is a venture-backed national fertility network founded in 2018 that now operates clinics in more than 20 U.S. cities. It grew quickly through a combination of direct-to-consumer fertility care and employer-sponsored fertility benefit contracts, and it entered the Twin Cities market in 2021 as part of a broader Midwest expansion tied to employer demand for fertility benefits.

The Minneapolis clinic sits at 138 N 2nd St, Minneapolis, MN 55401 in the North Loop — a walkable, transit-accessible neighborhood a short distance from downtown and I-94. The NPI record (1841967825) lists the corporate entity Peach State Medical Practice, PC doing business as Kindbody of MN Medical Practice, PC, with a primary taxonomy of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Reproductive Endocrinology. The authorized official on file is Dr. Fahimeh Sasan, DO, Kindbody's founding OB/GYN at the corporate level.

At the Minneapolis location specifically, patient-facing materials identify Dr. Ellen Hayes as the reproductive endocrinologist — board-certified in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility and OB/GYN — with Laura Henderson, DNP, APRN, WHNP-BC as nurse practitioner in women's and reproductive health. Patients should always verify current physician staffing at the time of booking, as staffing at national fertility networks can shift.


Services

Kindbody Minneapolis is a full-suite fertility and women's wellness clinic. Services offered at the location include:

  • IVF with ICSI and embryo transfer
  • IUI and medicated cycles for appropriate candidates
  • Egg freezing and embryo cryopreservation
  • Fertility assessments — Kindbody's "Pulse" panel of baseline labs and ultrasound
  • Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) through Kindlabs, Kindbody's in-house genetics lab
  • Donor eggs and third-party reproduction through the Kindeos platform
  • LGBTQ+ family building — reciprocal IVF, therapeutic donor insemination, and gestational carrier coordination
  • Fertility preservation for oncology patients and gender-affirming care
  • Virtual wellness and coaching via the Kindbody360 program

What This Practice Is — and Isn't

This is a fertility clinic, not a general OB/GYN or primary care practice, despite the generic-sounding corporate name. The NPI taxonomy is specifically Reproductive Endocrinology, and the services reflect that subspecialty focus. If you arrived at this listing expecting prenatal care, a well-woman annual with an OB/GYN who will deliver your baby, or routine gynecologic surgery, Kindbody Minneapolis is not the right fit — the clinic hands off obstetric care once a pregnancy is established and sends patients back to a community OB/GYN or maternal-fetal medicine practice.

It is also worth naming what the "Peach State" in the legal entity name is not: it is not a Georgia branch, not a satellite of an Atlanta practice, and not a southern-medicine brand that moved north. It is a corporate-entity label with no clinical bearing on the care delivered in Minneapolis.


Patient Experience — Reading 5.0/18

A 5.0-star average across 18 Google reviews is a strong but small sample. It is consistent with an early-stage or lower-volume listing — which tracks with Kindbody Minneapolis opening in 2021 and building its local patient base gradually. At most national fertility networks with mature review volumes in the thousands, aggregate scores cluster between 4.1 and 4.5 as cross-country operational pressures (centralized scheduling, national phone lines, occasional staff turnover) surface in feedback. The Minneapolis rating may compress toward that range as the location matures, or it may stay high if local staffing remains stable.

Patients considering Kindbody anywhere in the country should read reviews with an eye to three recurring themes in the network's national feedback: appointment length and physician face time, centralized administration friction (portal-based scheduling, national 855-number intake), and continuity of clinical staff across a cycle. None of those are disqualifying — they are simply the tradeoffs of a venture-backed multi-state model. Our guide on how to read IVF success rates includes a framework for weighing these factors alongside clinical outcomes data.


Minnesota Insurance Context

Minnesota has historically not mandated fertility or IVF coverage on private insurance plans — meaning insurers were not required to include IVF, IUI, or fertility preservation benefits. That landscape is shifting: Minnesota's Building Families Act phases in fertility coverage requirements for certain large-group plans starting in 2026, but many self-insured ERISA plans and smaller-group plans remain outside the mandate. Most Minnesotans still need to verify benefits plan-by-plan.

Where Kindbody has a real advantage is employer-sponsored fertility benefits. The company contracts directly with 130+ employers — including several large Twin Cities–area employers — to serve as a fertility benefit provider, bypassing traditional third-party benefit administrators. Minneapolis–St. Paul has a stronger employer-benefits ecosystem than most U.S. metros. Large local employers that publicly advertise meaningful fertility benefits include Target, U.S. Bank, 3M, Best Buy, and General Mills, and national employers with Twin Cities offices (Amazon, Microsoft, Walmart corporate) often carry fertility riders as well. If your employer has a Kindbody contract, your out-of-pocket cost at this specific clinic can drop substantially.

Considering At-Home Insemination?

Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.

At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.

If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Kindbody's Minneapolis clinic registered as "Peach State Medical Practice, PC"?

Peach State Medical Practice, PC is the registered corporate entity; the doing-business-as name on the CMS NPI record is Kindbody of MN Medical Practice, PC. Kindbody operates each state entity under a separate PC for corporate and licensing reasons, and some of those state entities carry legacy names from earlier filings. There is no Georgia clinical footprint associated with this Minneapolis location — the practice and its providers are licensed to deliver care in Minnesota.

Does Kindbody Minneapolis accept insurance, and how does that interact with Minnesota's laws?

Kindbody accepts most major commercial insurance plans and works with employer-sponsored fertility benefit programs, which are Kindbody's strongest coverage model. Because Minnesota has not historically required insurers to cover IVF, coverage depends heavily on your specific plan — particularly whether your employer has contracted Kindbody directly. Verify benefits before scheduling. See our fertility insurance mandates by state guide for the broader legal landscape and IVF cost by state for out-of-pocket expectations if coverage falls through.

How does Kindbody Minneapolis compare to independent Twin Cities fertility clinics?

Kindbody's differentiators are employer-benefit integration, published transparent pricing, in-house genetics (Kindlabs), and a modern consumer-facing brand. Long-established independents — the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Reproductive Medicine & Infertility Associates, University of Minnesota fertility care — typically offer deeper physician continuity, longer local track records, and larger published SART cycle volumes. Patients who prioritize employer-benefit coverage or a younger-feeling clinical environment often gravitate to Kindbody; patients who prioritize decades-long Twin Cities lineage and high cycle volume often prefer the independents. Review a few clinics in our Minnesota fertility clinic directory before committing.


Editorial Note

Fertlo editorials are independent. We are not paid by the clinics we cover, and inclusion in our directory does not depend on advertising, partnership, or referral relationships. This review draws on the CMS National Provider Identifier registry, Kindbody's public patient-facing materials, third-party fertility directories (FertilityIQ, Yelp), and the practice's Google Business Profile. Where data was unverifiable at the time of writing, we have noted it as such rather than filled in a guess. Provider staffing, phone routing, and insurance arrangements at national fertility networks change; verify details at the time of booking. See our editorial policy for the full methodology.
