PGS - Preimplantation Genetic Screening Athens, Greece

Outstanding treatment from start to finish. Informed by our doctor personally every step of the way. Made a dream become a reality.

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.

Some time ago, I found myself in the heartbreaking situation of being unmarried, and desperately wanting a family, yet finding out that it may be already too late because at my age the chances of having my own biological child was less than 3%. Even so and with much hope, I endured 3 IVF attempts using my own eggs. They did not work - it was a devastating experience. I did some simple research and found Athens IVF Center. Their website was professional and informative. I then arranged a 15-minute skype appointment and spoke directly to Dr Vasileos Athanassiou, their lead doctor. I immediately recognised him as kind, caring and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions. I felt comfortable and decided to go ahead with a donor IVF treatment at this clinic. Well, I must say what an easy and reassuring experience it was! Once you sign up, they immediately assign you with a ‘Chief Listening Officer’, a kind lady by the name of Konstantina. She stayed in contact with me by email throughout my whole preparation phase in Australia; she was clear on what steps to take and medications required, and she was reassuring when I was stressed, worried and had doubts. She was also served as the liaison point between myself and Dr Athanassiou. The time finally came for the final part of IVF cycle – the transfer, which was done in Greece by Dr Athanassiou. I was absolutely amazed at the professionalism of his whole team of nurses, administrative staff and embryologist. The transfer itself was a reassuring experience and I felt well-cared for throughout, and I even have a photo of the embryos before and after transfer! That first IVF cycle at IVF Athens Clinic was successful and I now have a beautiful child. I have never been happier. Thank you again to Dr Athanassiou, Konstantina, Maria the embryologist and the nurses and admin staff at Athens IVF Center. I have since learned that Dr Athanassiou is a world-class IVF specialist and I feel so very lucky to have him as my IVF doctor. I definitely recommend this clinic and Dr Athanassiou.

I contacted Dr Bagiokos to ask about scheduling an appointment. I received a very prompt response and went to see him just two days later. I received outstanding treatment and care. I got feedback and results promptly following my appointment. I found Dr Bagiokos very professional, extremely good at communicating (additionally in my native language, English) and kind. I will absolutely return to see him in the future and would strongly recommend him to anyone searching for an obstetrician/gynaecologist. The clinic was clean and welcoming. The staff were friendly and service was great overall.
