IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation Athens, Greece

After 7 years of IVF failed attempts in Australia, we were recommended to look into Dr. Nikos and his team at Embryoland. Wow, if only we knew about Embryoland 7 years ago, I would have an army of kids now. We rang Dr. Nikos, and within 30 minutes, he called us back through FaceTime, and we were greeted with the most warm smiling face and caring nature. We were shocked; you don’t get that service in Australia, well not with our previous doctor! Dr. Nikos felt like an uncle to us; we felt very comfortable, and within a few months, we were on our way to Athens. Dr. Nikos organized everything you need, medication to take prior, accommodation when we landed, and also a driver to pick us up from the airport. The clinic is beautiful; I loved looking at all the babies on the wall; it gave me hope my baby could be next. Dr. Nikos and his amazing team at Embryoland go above and beyond to do everything they can to get you pregnant. The attention to detail and love they show, wanting the best for you, is outstanding. I felt so comfortable and looked after; I would leave the clinic and feel so relaxed and taken care of. It really helped with the whole procedure. Mind you, you're not on 50,000 medications; it’s quite simple and minimal, which made it even less stressful. Every day I would meet so many wonderful women in the same boat as I was, and they were all walking out pregnant; this doctor's success rates are through the roof. Finally, it was my day to go in and get the results, and I couldn’t believe it; I was pregnant. 18 out baby, no complications, and it’s a boy! I will be forever grateful to Dr. Nikos and the Team at Embryoland. We love you guys and can’t wait to come back to have another baby."

I am 47 years and had always dreamed of having another baby. Right from the beginning the clinic was very helpful and provided me with detailed information on the IVF process. I was assigned a personal IVF coordinator (Anna Karamitrou) who was very helpful and was always there for me if I had any questions or doubts. Also at the clinic, there was professional support and it was clearly explained what the next steps would be, this was very comforting and reassuring. I was pregnant at the first attempt and am now the proud mother of a beautiful and healthy son. I would like to thank the entire staff and Anna in particular for her endless help and devotion. I would definitely recommend this professional clinic.

Our journey with Pelargos, Dr Karpouzis & his team has been an absolute dream. It started totally by luck as we were picked as winners for treatment with Pelargos, back at the end of 2022. Something I still can’t believe I won. From those initial phone calls with Dr Karpouzis, to where we are now is just amazing. Before finding out about Pelargos, my partner and I were feeling pretty hopeless after such a bad experience in the UK/Ireland. Dr Karpouzis is something special and he doesn’t realise how people in our position value him, and his team. What he has done for us in just over a year is something I will cherish forever. I wish I could let every single person who is feeling lost on this journey know about Pelargos because no matter what comes of it, you know you will be given the best chance and care there is. I’m still pinching myself and counting my blessings, but honestly, without a shadow of a doubt, Pelargos IVF is always the right choice.

I reached out to Dr. Ioannis after a failed IVF cycle in the UK, and I can’t speak highly enough of his wealth of experience. From the moment I contacted him, he was quick to respond and immediately scheduled a phone consultation with both my husband and me. His responsiveness and attentiveness provided much-needed reassurance. In December 2023, we traveled from the UK to Greece to meet him in person, and from the very first moment, his warm smile and positive energy gave us a renewed sense of hope. Dr. Ioannis took the time to thoroughly assess both of us—prescribing medication for my husband and performing an Operative Hysteroscopy with Implantation Cuts, along with other essential checks for me. What truly distinguishes Dr. Ioannis, for his genuine, patient-centered care approach. His wealth of experience, coupled with his compassionate care, made us feel supported every step of the way. He listens with great attention, answers every question thoroughly, and fosters a collaborative relationship with his patients. He even went above and beyond to ensure that the services I was considering were up to the highest standards, taking his time to personally verify them for me. He ensure that the services he recommended were of the highest standard, which really meant a lot to us.e I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ioannis without hesitation—he is a true professional with a heart of gold. A 1000% recommendation from me, and I’ll be sure to share more updates soon!

I had a truly wonderful experience with Dr. Garavelas in Greece. From the very first consultation, he made me feel comfortable, informed, and cared for. He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and approaches each case with both professionalism and genuine empathy. His team is also outstanding — warm, organised, and always ready to help. Throughout the process, I felt supported and confident that I was in the best hands. I highly recommend Dr. Garavelas to anyone looking for expert and compassionate care.

After many difficulties, I decided to search for a solution somewhere else. It was a big risk to visit another country in order to achieve my scope. I was very lucky. I found a very experienced doctor who guides me step by step to the achievement. He was near to me by supporting and encouraging all the steps needed. He believed in me and together we succeeded.

At the beginning of my IVF journey, I messaged several different clinics/doctors, as it's always good to have some comparison. From the responses I got, and after the initial message exchanges, it quickly became clear Dr. Bazeos would be my best choice - he always replied promptly to all questions I had, in a logical organised manner. There was no pressure to decide 'here and now'; I could ask questions and Dr. Bazeos always answered, even though he had no guarantee I'd choose to do the treatment with him! He also speaks excellent English, which was important to me. I had the treatment (IVF) in the IASO hospital in Athens. I was surprised how big and busy the hospital is. Sometimes there were small delays probably because of the number of patients, but it didn't really matter because I was on holidays anyway. In a way I was reassured I made a good choice - so many other people were having treatment at IASO as well! I had 4 appointments during the 2-week period of taking hormonal injections. Dr. Bazeos always answered all questions, even though sometimes he was super busy, and was always happy to help if I needed anything (e.g. finding medication). Then, there were the most important parts - egg retrieval, fertilisation and embryo transfer. After each stage, with every little success, I was more and more optimistic the IVF would end in a pregnancy. I was extremely happy each time I learned something went well, and so was Dr. Bazeos – I am sure he has done thousands of IVF cycles before, but he seemed genuinely happy for me & always wished me good luck. And now the best part – I am pregnant!!! 😊 It is, of course, still early, and I realise things can go wrong, but still… This was my first IVF cycle and I’m so happy I chose Dr. Bazeos. He is a very knowledgeable specialist & I fully trust his decisions. I’d definitely make the same choice if I had to do it again.
