IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation Worldwide

I always believed that beautiful teeth were prohibitively expensive and honestly didn't dare dream about having them. Looking back, I wish I had access to this information 10 years ago - I would have taken action much sooner. The text will be long because many people want to hear all the details 🙂 so I'll start with the facts to not torture those who don't like many letters 🙂 FACTS: My husband Vitalis and I travelled to Turkey to fix our teeth. WHAT WAS DONE? Indre: · removed two unfixable/broken teeth (more precisely, their remains) · inserted 4 implants · fixed 10 root canals · put on 25 zirconium crowns (the plan was 24, but at the last moment I wanted one more) Vitalis: · removed 8 teeth · sinus filling/sinus lifting · inserted 10 implants · After the first visit, Vitalis got temporary dentures to "go out in public" since he was toothless. · During the second visit, he received porcelain dentures, which are recommended for patients without natural teeth. These consist of a steel framework with porcelain teeth mounted on top. PRICE: INDRE COST 5250 DOLLARS VITALIS - 8000 DOLLARS. Payment was made in 3 parts: · Down payment: 1500USD before booking plane tickets in November · During the first visit, 6500 USD in January · During the second visit (after 4 months), 5250 USD in May Included in the price (meaning we didn't pay extra for these): · Plane tickets Houston-Istanbul-Houston for 2 people, 2 times (first in January, second in May), · Hotel (first time 7 days, second time 10 days), · Transport/Escort (from/to hotel, from/to clinic), · Interpreter · City sightseeing, little gifts 🙂, facial cleaning. This is just a brief summary - the full article contains absolutely all the detailed information about how I analysed companies and where I searched. What exactly and when the doctors did each procedure. So if this is relevant to you, please read and share with those who might find it useful. I'm so thrilled with my teeth that now it's all I talk about 🙂 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-i-flew-turkey-dental-work-would-do-again-indre-pvxhc/

THE MOST PASSIONATE AND PROFESSIONAL TEAM!! After several failed attempts in Canada and failing hope, I did research online and quickly noticed the rave reviews and success with Dr. Kanakas (who is a very published man !) and his team. He responded immediately and was so efficient in assisting us through the next steps. My experience at Embryoland shines and cannot even mirror what we went through in Toronto which was disheartening and often times unprofessional and very clinical with the best interest of the monetary component being prioritized versus our family planning goals. Dr. Kanskas was very kind, provided the clinical support and the time to explain everything! His team is extremely amazing. When we arrived to the clinic the first time clients from all over the world were there to see this wonderful man!!! They would arrive straight from the airport with luggage in hand! This speaks to how sought out he is for his wealth of knowledge and success in family planning! We wish we would have found him and his team sooner but we now have our beautiful family and are so grateful for finding him…he is like a godfather to me…I truly appreciate what he has done; after again, several failed attempts here in Canada. I wish him many more years of success so he can continue to support his clients around the world. What an amazing team. We are so blessed because of him🥰

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.

After a few bad experiences with IVF clinics we heard about a clinic in Greece by common friends. There we met Dr. Duolotis, who from the first meeting, showed us a level of care and professionalism that we have not found elsewhere. He's been very proactive in suggesting tailored solutions to our specific issue, and we managed to get 4 embryos out of the process and now we're expecting twins. If you are used to the coldness of clinics in the UK that too often make you feel like a number, then you'll find a completely different story with Dr duolotis, who really cares deeply about his patients, and goes the extra mile to get them where they want to be.

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.

If you are looking for fertility treatment Gynem is the best clinic by far. Amazing, friendly and helpful staff that treat you wonderfully from the first day of consultation to the end of your fertility journey. All the staff are bilingual speaking and make sure you have everything you need from transfers, tests, care packages and also great priced to and not forceful where most fertility clinics think more about money than care and attention to your needs. Will definitely be using Gynem in the future.

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. 🙏

Our experience at Cyprus Crown (DrHIT) Fertility Clinic was truly outstanding from start to finish. The professionalism, medical expertise, and genuine care shown by the entire team made a very challenging journey feel safe and supported. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and transparent, explaining every step clearly and patiently. The coordination team was always responsive, organised, and caring. They gave us great confidence throughout the process. The clinic is modern, well-equipped, and operates with very high medical and ethical standards. Most importantly, you feel that each patient is treated as an individual, not just a number. We are deeply grateful to the whole Cyprus Crown (DrHIT) team and would confidently recommend this clinic to anyone seeking fertility treatment with trust, professionalism, and compassion.

I recently had an incredible experience with Dr. Osman Tuğrul Güzeldir and the team at Koru Private Hospital. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized by Mehmet Emin Karagöz, who ensured every detail was taken care of – from pick-up to scheduling appointments with the doctors, addressing my concerns, and making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Dr. Osman Tuğrul Güzeldir was exceptional. He was well-spoken, straightforward, and took the time to clearly explain the procedure and what to expect. His professionalism and skill gave me complete confidence, and I am very happy with the results. The staff and facilities at Koru Private Hospital were equally impressive. The professionalism and care I received exceeded my expectations, making this a truly positive and seamless experience. Highly recommended!

I really cannot believe they made it! We have dreamt of our own child since 2018. After 5 years of trying, after all the tears, stress, and psychological challenges, in 2025, we are finally hugging our baby! Thank you all, guys!

I had a IVF treatment at Dunya IVF Centre and can highly recommend this clinic. Very competent, professional, clean, newest state of art, fair prices and friendly. They are always there for you, answer you patiently all questions, helpful and do their best to realize your wish. The doctors are high professional and make you feel very comfortable. Especially my client advisor Handan was great. I could reach her anytime and she was always there for me and helped me with anything. She is very competent, and professional and could immediately answer all questions. She is an angel and I am very happy to have her on my side during this process. If you consider to do IVF contact Dunya IVF Center.

I was really satisfied with the whole approach of the doctor concerning my case. He explained to me all the options and which one was the best for me. My experience from my trip to Greece and the clinic the doctor collaborates with was excellent, certainly satisfied my high standards and felt like I was in good hands and handled by experts.

The doctor was amazing and very kind. Amid the language barrier she ensure I was given a the opportunity to speak with an interpreter. Hospital was amazing and staff was very efficient and helpful. Person centre care was the core of the care delivered.

My wife and I had a wonderful time working with Cyprus IVF Hospital. We had tried multiple IUI procedures in the US (where we are from,) and had no success. When we started to discuss options for IVF, we were not sure we would be able to afford it. In our state, it would have cost us a minimum of $20,000 USD for the procedure. This did not include medication costs or extra hospital fees. After looking into other solutions, we found Cyprus IVF Hospital through a Google Search about IVF treatment abroad. We decided to take a chance on their services - neither of us had ever had any kind of medical treatment outside of the US! But we are both so happy that we put our trust into this fantastic clinic - every member of the staff was kind, and professional, and paid attention to extra details about us. They were supportive of our choice to have a child as a same-sex couple, and they were thrilled when we announced our pregnancy (1/15/23.) It only took one round of IVF! ---------- Our stay in Cyprus was so lovely because of their help. We stayed in a nice hotel that they arranged for us to stay in. They were able to answer many questions we had, including questions about touring the surrounding area. It helped us get acquainted and comfortable with our time there, and also branch out and explore areas we might have otherwise avoided if they hadn't recommended it. I HIGHLY recommend renting a car for your stay. We didn't at first, and we regretted it, because we didn't get to see as many amazing places. Renting cars in Cyprus is cheap, and easy to pick up (even though you drive on the opposite side of the road from how it is in the US!) --------- Cyprus IVF Hospital was also honest with us about what needed to be done in order for our treatment to be as successful as possible. Because my wife has PCOS, we had to split our time at the hospital in two. We had to stay for one month to monitor and extract my wife's eggs, and then we had to return later to implant an embryo. We were reluctant to take two trips, we wanted to save money on airfare. But our doctor promised us this would be more successful, and if we tried to do the implant too early, we would most likely not be successful (which would have been more expensive in the long run.) Trusting their suggestion paid off! ---------- Famagusta is a very fascinating city with ages of history to explore. It might seem a little rough around the edges, but my wife and I felt totally safe walking around there on our own. Bugs can get kind of rough at night, so try not to stay out too late! Also, make sure your passport is 100% up to date. Mine wasn't, and we ran into some bureaucratic trouble at the Cyprus/Northern Cyprus border crossing. But if your passport is up-to-date, you will be totally fine! ---------- Thanks so much to Dr. Serap, Nevzat, Yakut, Nehal, Tina, and everyone else at the clinic! You were all so professional and kind to us and made sure we were always in the loop with new information; you also helped us understand every step of the process and made the whole experience easy and smooth. We are so happy that you were able to make our dream of being parents a reality. LGBTQ+ friends... this was a great place to be. If you are interested, they will do ROPA (Reciprocal IVF/co-maternity.) The ROPA program costs EUR 4,000. You won't regret working with Cyprus IVF Hospital in Famagusta!

We would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Vita Altera for their outstanding support throughout our IVF journey. From the very first consultation, the communication was exceptional – always clear, professional, and reassuring. A special thank you to Fatma, whose kindness, quick responses, and constant guidance made us feel supported at every step. We are also deeply grateful to Dr. Enver, whose expertise, calm approach, and thorough explanations gave us confidence and peace of mind during the whole process. The protocol was carefully tailored for us, and the treatment plan was explained in detail, which made everything feel transparent and well-structured. Beyond the medical professionalism, we truly felt cared for as individuals – the team treated us with warmth and respect, and that made all the difference. And of course, let’s not forget the lovely lunch they treated us to on our very first visit – such a thoughtful gesture of hospitality that meant so much to us. We highly recommend Vita Altera to anyone considering IVF. The combination of medical excellence and genuine compassion is rare, and we are thankful to have experienced it here.
