D&C - Dilatation and Curettage Athens, Greece

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 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.

I had a good experience with Dr. Bobotis at this clinic. He was able to start our appointment on time and was very friendly from our first contact. He also clearly explained my entire procedure and proved to be a reliable professional.

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.

He was prompt in replying and very helpful in accommodating my last-minute needs for a scan. Communication was in English.
