How to choose a fertility clinic

Why IVF labs are important to fertility treatment success

While all of our patients share the goal of having a baby, every path is different and personal. Some patients have a definitive indication for fertility treatment such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), whereas others do not. In some cases, pregnancy can be achieved through treatment of a hormonal imbalance, correction of a metabolic disturbance, removal of fibroids or polyps, or non-invasive ovulation induction. Our fertility specialists will ensure that your treatment is designed specifically for your needs and circumstances. Our team includes both gynecologists and endocrinologists, which means we are uniquely placed to take a holistic (whole of body) approach to your fertility care. Our highly experienced scientific and nursing teams work together with your fertility specialist to deliver integrated expertise. Our fertility and genetic counsellors are here to support you every step of the way. Our expert team are your trusted companions on your fertility journey.
