Fertility Clinics Greece

Highly recommend Dr. Nikos and his team at Embryoland. After 10 failed attempts in Australia and too much money lost I made my way to Athens to see Dr. Nikos and his team. I never once fell pregnant during my treatment in Australia. One treatment at Embryoland and I’m now just over 8 weeks pregnant. Definitely worth the trip, even during COVID. Thank you Embryoland.

The treatment was excellent compared with the treatment we had in Ireland over a period of 5 years. Straight to point, no waffle pregnant on second egg donation attempt. Everyone was very helpful Elena and Dr Thanos especially now we have a wonderful son just wish we had have found out about them before trying in IVF clinic in Ireland.

I started my fertility journey back in 2019 in the UK with three rounds of unsuccessful IUI treatments in UK. I was advised to look at maybe using an egg donor due to my age and this would increase my chances of success. Unfortunately, the prices in the UK were astronomical and this would’ve meant that for me it would not have been possible. However, when investigating worldwide I came across Pelargos IVF and Harry Karpouzis MD. Scientific Director Pelargos IVF in Athens and Institute of Life. This is one of the largest and most advanced Assisted Reproduction Units in Greece. It was established within the premises of “IASO”, the largest Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic in Greece. Of all the fertility clinics I looked at, this was by far the best and most traceable. I looked at reviews and peoples comments that had been there before for treatment and felt very confident in my choice. From all information and communication from my first contact in November 2019. I was made to feel very included and informed. Every single question or query that I had was answered very quickly. Costs were exactly as explained from day one with no additional costs that were ever undisclosed. They even guarantee two embryos which on my first attempt I did have, but unfortunately only two. In my first round of IVF in February 2020, I had the two embryos implanted, unfortunately, this was unsuccessful. The great communication continued and we discussed what we could change to make the chances of success better this time. I felt included every step of the way, understanding every stage with ease, even through the hard times of a failed attempt, the start of a pandemic and the COVID-19 testing: we were able to get another egg donor that would hopefully be more compatible and harvest the eggs by April which was amazing. Out of 10 eggs that were harvested, 7 reached the embryo stage. These were 5-day blastocyst. This was amazing after only getting two the first time around. With the lockdown starting at this time and travel being difficult from the UK they were frozen. As soon as we were able to downcycle me and arrange travel together with accommodation we were able to go ahead again in August 2020. The week before I was due to travel everything went wrong, a scan appointment with the radiographer at Harry’s request revealed a large fibroid. The scan showed that this fibroid was on the outside of my uterus. The fibroid was large 12.5 cm x 13 cm. I immediately contacted Harry who said he wanted to look into things, but would get back to me immediately, a phone call a few hours later confirmed that it was fine to go ahead with the implantation. He felt the fibroid, would not affect the chances of pregnancy, he would prefer it removed but it was my choice. However, a successful pregnancy for me might prove painful and challenging. The choice at this point was whether to go ahead now or get the fibroid removed. With seven embryos I decided to go ahead and take the risk with the support of Harry. This wasn’t the end of my problems as at this point my mother who was due to travel with me had a fall and broke her wrist she was unable to accompany me but luckily my auntie stepped in and took her place. I had two of the seven embryos implanted made a point of resting for four days after implantation before travelling home. To my immense joy, this was successful and I was able to see a positive result on a home pregnancy test within 10 days. I then had the pregnancy confirmed with two blood tests a couple of days apart. This confirmed I was indeed pregnant. I had an early scan at seven weeks to confirm everything was okay and whether there were one or two embryos. Where am I at now? I’m 47 years old, and I am very pleased to let you know I have a beautiful healthy baby boy born 7lb 14oz in May 2021. With 5 embryos still frozen and further opportunities to increase my family availability. This is all thanks to Dr. Harry Karpouzis and the Pelargos IVF team at the Institute of life facility, Iaso Hospital in Athens, Greece. They will always hold a special place in my heart, “thank you guys so much, I might even see you again.

My wife and I are traveling to Europe specifically to see Dr. Ioannis Douliotis. You can read as many reviews as you want online but let me tell you, this doctor is the one that you want to see. I've emailed him with multiple questions a day before we've even flown to Greece and he would respond almost right away. I like that he's one of the few people in this world that treats others like they would want to be treated and not just a number. Thank you for this.

Naturally, I was very concerned about having surgery abroad but the moment I had a consultation with Dr Bazeos my fears were allayed, I knew I had found my doctor. Out of due diligence, I had consultations with other doctors to ensure I wasn’t jumping the gun. That further cemented my decision and I knew I had made the right choice. I had an open Myomectomy surgery a week ago and the recovery process has been a breeze all thanks to Dr Bazeos. He is remarkably responsive and will answer ALL your questions and deal with any issue as they arise which is very reassuring for any patient. He came by every morning after the surgery to change my dressing and kept in close touch with the nurses to ensure my comfort over the 3 nights I spent in the hospital. My husband and I can confidently recommend Doctor Bazeos to all, especially to medical tourists. No hoops/loops/tricks about costs. He’ll give you a fee, rest assured there will be no surprise hidden charges later. Big thanks Doctor Andreas Bazeos, now let’s get working on those twins shall we? (no pressures (hahaha).

We are communicating regarding future IVF treatment. Dr. Bobotis promptly replies to all my emails! Great communication and Julia is great too!
