PGD - Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis Athens, Greece

Dr Nikos and the team are incredible; they will do everything in their power to get you, child. After a failed egg retrieval, they were able to defrost donor eggs for me the next day and 2 cycles later, we got pregnant with our beautiful baby girl, who was born this month. They talked through each step of the process, making it feel less overwhelming and showed compassion at every stage. I hope to go back soon to try for baby number two.. I wouldn't go anywhere else for IVF.

As a single female dreaming of becoming a single mother by choice and doing extensive research, it was starting to get very confusing and daunting, with the additional discovery that I had a low egg reserve! I was at my wits' end and didn’t like the business-like nature of the way UK clinics treated you, which didn’t ever give room for tailoring to your specific needs and care! This is when I came across Embio, and after having a consultation with Konstantinos, I knew I had found my place! Embio IVF Konstantinos and Dr. Paraschos turned this whole IVF process into a pleasant one, I was well informed, educated, given informed medical opinions but never felt pressured - I never felt “single” or “on my own” Konstantinos and Thanos supported and cared for every question and concern I had ! even advising of accommodation and restaurants during my extended stay in beautiful Athens! I am very well supported throughout my experience and treatment at Embio! The treatment and surgical team are amazing and have my confidence and trust! I have to say they made me feel so warm and comfortable and part of the Embio family. I was looked after by professionals from the moment I had my first consultation and throughout my journey! Please do not hesitate to let the UK put you off your chance to become a parent !! This is the place to go x

After five long years of battling infertility, our dream of becoming parents is finally coming true, thanks to Pelagros IVF clinic. We cannot recommend them highly enough. From our very first consultation, we felt supported and understood. Dr. Karpouzis was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the IVF process, putting our minds at ease. We also want to give a special shout out to our wonderful midwife, Sofia, whose ongoing support and care has been invaluable. One of the things that impressed us most was the short waiting list, allowing us to begin our journey sooner than we anticipated. The entire protocol was clearly explained and easily understandable, making a stressful process feel much more manageable. We are now 7 weeks pregnant and we are eternally grateful to Pelagros IVF clinic and the team for helping us achieve our miracle.

Closing a small chapter today and looking forward with optimism to the beautiful things ahead, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the entire “Biodimiourgia” team — and, above all, to Dr. Michalis Bobotis. From the very first moment, we trusted his words, as he gave us clear answers to questions that had been troubling us for years. He guided us with calmness, scientific knowledge, and optimism, always with his motto, “step by step.” After visiting several other doctors and well-known names in the field, my partner turned to me right after our first appointment and said, “He’s the one. That’s it.” And he was absolutely right. Don’t overthink it, don’t get lost in names — give yourself the chance to meet him. I’m certain he will help you find peace and strength within yourself. Nantia is everything a woman could wish for on this journey — and beyond. Thank you so much! 🙏 The laboratory perfectly reflects the spirit of the entire team. Andreas, thank you for the two most important phone calls of our lives. Everyone, without exception, is thorough, positive, and truly humane. Julia and Ioanna are always there, no matter the time, with a smile and warmth. 🥰 Doctor, I met you and I truly came to care for you. Thank you for the opportunity you gave me, and I look forward to the next ones — as you told me: “I want you to give me two more chances.” You have them — and more than that. Because what matters is not only the result, but the person behind it. And to me, you are the person I’ve been lucky to have in my life. ❤️ And everything else will come — after all, faith is what moves miracles. 🙏

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.
