Reviews of CRGH
M. M. H.
I had been through four cycles elsewhere before seeking help from CRGH. After so many failed rounds I had lost hope. Dr Al Chami went above and beyond our expectations to help us to conceive. He genuinely cares about his patients and is always available to answer questions provide guidance. He is a wonderful person and he listens to his patients. Overall very good experience at CRGH. Deborah at Reception was very helpful and welcoming. We now have a beautiful baby boy thanks to CRGH. Would highly recommend.

Where do I start when I talk about CRGH, for us they have given us our beautiful family after 4years of heartache from miscarriages and ectopics. From our first visit back in 2016 when we got pregnant with our daughter all the staff were fantastic, so friendly, reassuring and provided endless support. Our consultant Ms Seshadri and her team that cared for us were lovely and always happy to chat with us when we had any worries and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. It was without any hesitation that we then returned to them in 2021 for our next journey to have our now son, still the same fantastic team and full of positivity and support the whole way through. To anyone starting their own unique journey I couldn’t recommend the CRGH team highly enough, I wish u all the luck in the world but I truly believe you couldn’t be in better hands.
N. R.
Dr. Seshadri was absolutely wonderful. I saw several specialists before coming to her and I wish I had seen her first. She was reassuring, warm, optimistic and ultimately right! I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy last January and am so grateful to the CRGH team for guiding me through those tough early days.
J. C.
My consultant was Dr Ali Al-Chami and he was excellent. What we really appreciated was his honesty: when we saw him, my fertility was low and he did not sugar-coat anything or offer us false hope. He laid out our options. At first, I was resistant to the idea of a donor egg but as I turned 43 during our 2 IUI treatments, we really did not have much hope if we wanted a baby. Dr Al-Chami had mentioned a donor egg as an option at our initial consultation, but after I rejected the idea, he did not mention it again. However, we came to him about it, seeking information. He was again clear and helpful. We took a big breath and took the step to sign up.And now we have a wonderful little boy, a miracle. I was lucky to fall pregnant with our first embryo transfer. CRGH looked after us at every stage of treatment and I could not recommend them more highly. During a pandemic, CRGH the staff were professional and kind and I felt very safe with their protocols. We were pleased that they resumed treatment as soon as possible, too. Another fantastic part of the service is the counselling offered - Carmel, our counsellor, was wonderful and helped us talk through our fears and anxieties, and our stress and past fertility tragedies. Dr Al-Chami is a great consultant and I'd recommend him very highly to anyone seeking fertility treatment.

My wife and I have done 2 separate fertility treatments with the CRGH. Both treatments ended in successful pregnancies and live birth (both in the 1st round).
We can’t thank enough the amazing work and support from Dr Ozkan Ozturk and his team, who helped us to create a perfect family with outstanding care and attention to detail at every stage.
We would recommend this clinic to any couple considering fertility treatment and particularly for Dr Ozturk’s invaluable advice and expert guidance during the process.
L. P.
We cannot thank Dr Saab and all the doctors and nurses at CRGH enough for helping us grow our family. After 5 failed cycles at another clinic, we came to CRGH and Dr Saab gave us hope again. He was so helpful and knowledgeable. We were successful on our first FET and we now have our beautiful 3 month old daughter, Gabriella.
M. W.
CRGH is rather pricey (there are a lot of appointments) but their treatment does work. We went to CRGH when we started trying for a second child. We chose this clinic last Autumn due to the short waiting time and efficiency. Last month, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy!
N. W.
We were extremely impressed with the empathy and treatment we received from CRGH, from my first appointment i felt like they treated me as an individual. The communication cannot be faulted… i often sent messages with questions and would get a reply within an hour! Even outside of office hours i would get a reply! It took us 2 cycles to get our gorgeous baby boy, i was offers support throughout, after my failed cycle i had a counselling session and my consultant gave me some tough love which is what i needed and it got me ready to go again! The nurses, sonographers, doctors, admin are all genuinely interested!
I can’t recommend CRGH enough, i recently recommended it to a friend who transferred from another clinic and she has also been very impressed and couldn’t believe the comparison in the 2 clinics…!
C. R.
Used this clinic twice for both of my children. The first time was with Dr Atluri (who is no longer there) and the second time with Dr Seshadri. Both times were successful first time: first time with ICSI and the second was a frozen embryo transfer from the previous time. Would highly recommend the clinic. We’re from Peterborough but the stats speak for themselves so it was worth travelling for to know we were getting expert care. Although it’s not the cheapest compared to other clinics, we only had to have one round each time - other people I know have had 5-7 rounds before successful with other clinics so it averages itself out. All the staff are wonderful and we couldn’t be more thankful to the clinic for giving us our two beautiful children.

Following on from a very successful IVF journey that started in 2013 when my Eggs were Frozen at the CRGH, I can now share the wonderful news of Miss Charlotte Sarah...our Precious Beautiful Daughter born in September 2021. The CRGH were fantastic from beginning to end. They helped me through the whole process amd were exceptionally professional, kind and supportive. Thank you !
L. B.
Dr Seshadri is a wonderful caring and realistic Dr. We truly believed she was offering us the best options based on our history. With her straight forward and comforting approach we were able to achieve our goal of having another child. We can’t thank her enough.

Posting this review as my two CRGH babies lay asleep next to me!
We were referred to CRGH’s pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) clinic by a NHS clinical geneticist following the devastating loss of our son to a genetic condition.
We were eligible for up to 3 continuous rounds of PGD as per NHS policy.
We had two rounds of PGD which produced 2 healthy embryos which both implanted successfully - a girl and a boy. We paid for storage fees and implantation of second embryo privately.
We saw Dr Ben Nagi and the PGD/ usual nursing teams - their medical expertise and advice was excellent. We can’t thank CRGH and NHS England enough for creating our healthy and adorable children. Would highly recommend this clinic for PGD.
K. S.
Amazing experience very personal and just a great service. We are very pleased thank you Dr Duran and the team!
D. O. J.
We highly recommend CRGH and found the clinic to be highly professional. In particular, our doctor, Dr Paul Serhal, exceeded all our expectations - expertly knowledgeable and understanding with excellent communication throughout. Dr Serhal and CRGH, you are the best, and we are looking forward to visit you again in 2022!
J. A.
We had a very good experience with CRGH. From the initial meeting with our Doctor, to the nursing team who were always very patient when I rang with queries about medication! There was an awful lot to take in but advice was always well given and we felt supported throughout our journey. We are now the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl and we thank all those people who played their part in helping us as long the way.
K. M.
CRGH were very friendly and welcoming at all our appointments. The nurses and Dr Duran in particular made us feel very comfortable and kept us informed throughout the whole process. The reception team were also very helpful. Our first attempt was successful but which was down to positive thinking and we felt reassured in the expertise of those looking after us at the clinic. Would recommend to others looking for their little miracle.
N. M.
We were overall pleased with the care received at CRGH. Our consultant Mr Theodorou was clear with us about treatment options and any evidence available for their use. He answered our queries well and explained the reasons behind aspects of our treatment plan. I communicated with him a little via email which was helpful as it saved an unnecessary appointment. I would say that CRGH are quite heavy on the medication side compared to some other clinics but this wasn't particularly a problem for us as we felt we were being afforded every possible chance. I have only given 4 stars as CRGH are on the pricier side of clinics and lack a little in holistic care. Ultimately we are very grateful that they helped us to have our longed for second baby. Extra shout out to the all-female team who did my successful embryo transfer....from the nurses to the consultant to the embryologist.....No surprises then that we had a baby girl!
M.
The whole team went above and beyond throughout my egg freezing treatment, it’s an emotionally charged time but I was put at ease at every step of the way and couldn’t have asked for better care!
J. S.
My partner and I moved from another fertility clinic in London, partly due to logistical issues, but we also felt the service wasn’t great. We’re so glad we did, as our experience at CRGH was brilliant. We had reciprocal IVF and everything went smoothly and worked the first time. The staff were lovely at every stage and wait times were low; it was rare that they were running late, and we had a lot of appointments! Our treatment also started at the beginning of the pandemic, which is extra credit to them. I have recommended CRGH to friends looking for fertility treatment and will continue to do so.
S. C.
From the start we’ve had the most informative and pleasant experience.
I found the doctors and nurses extremely helpful and very pleasant with dealing with. They are happy to answer any concerns you may have regarding your treatment.
I most definitely recommend this clinic.
J. Z.
Without CRGH and the help of my incredible consultant Vidya Sheshadri I would not be where I am today. A very very proud, enormously lucky amd extremely grateful mother of 2 beautiful girls. I appreciate every second of every day with them. I came to CRGH in desperation after failed attempts countless procedures and no hope for a family. She made my dreams come true not only once but twice. I can never thank her enough for her positivity. She never made me feel hopeless after my first meeting with her despite the results we sometimes had. I cannot recommend her as a consultant and CRGH as a clinic enough. Thank you will never be enough 🙏
K. K.
We had an excellent experience with CRGH and brought home our baby this year. We went to see Dr Saab after 3 fails rounds with other clinics and asked him for an honest opinion about whether we should continue with treatment. We were grateful to hear him suggest that he thought CRGH could help but of course there were no guarantees. We decided to give it one more go with a new protocol and various additional treatments in the hope it would work. The round with CRGH produced 3 times the amount of day 5 embryos than the 3 previous rounds combined. It wasn't all straightforward because we still went onto have a chemical pregnancy before the transfer of our IVF baby, born in April this year. The clinic is busy but personable. You sometimes need to have patience with waiting for scans but the nursing team are always kind and professional. The lab team are also outstanding and it never felt like too much trouble to have a conversation with them about the process or our frozen embryos/PGS testing.
When we did have a positive pregnancy test I was so scared about going in for the heartbeat and growth scan but the team there were so quick and understanding - letting me know within seconds that I could relax because there was a heartbeat.
IVF is so tough and expensive but I always felt like I was giving myself the best chance with CRGH. We still have frozen embryos and I hope (with CRGH's help) to add to our family in the future.
Thank you Dr Saab for your honesty, empathy and finally for helping to make Alfie!

We chose CRGH because they partner with UCLH where we had already had some treatment. My consultant also works at the hospital and I'd spoken with her already under hospital care so the handover felt very smooth. The treatment we had was brilliant v- very professional, efficient and caring. The nurses explained everything clearly and Dr Khanjani came up with a good plan which suited us and helped us to feel positive about our chances, and then our treatment worked on the first attempt and we are now elated to have a gorgeous alert baby boy. Many thanks to everyone involved, you have given us real joy.
L. A.
We were very pleased with the quality and efficiency of the service provided at CRGH. Our consultant talked us through all the options abs helped us choose what was right for us and all the staff at the clinic were friendly and helpful. We now have a beautiful baby girl and would certainly use CRGH if we have a second.
L. c.
Excellent experience at CRGH. The staff, every member we encountered throughout the process were all amazing, helpful, understanding and kind. Thanks to them all we now have a beautiful baby girl.
J.
We couldn’t be more pleased about our embryo creating journey with CRGH. Dr Theodorou was incredibly thorough and outlined options at every step which helped us make incredibly informed choices. Due to the the incredible work done by the entire staff at CRGH we’ve not only been lucky enough to welcome our beautiful little Matilda but she has two possible siblings- in-waiting as well. We cannot thank Dr. Theodorou and CRGH enough!
J. A.
After a previous attempt at IVF at another clinic, we decided to go to CRGH for our next attempt. We can happily say this has provided us with our very own baby boy.
From the very start we felt extremely comfortable and in good hands. Dr Ozturk was amazing, he provided us with a more tailored treatment, fielded the many questions we had and provided us with the guidance and reassurance we needed.
On top of that the rest of CRGH team were fantastic, with the level of service being second to none. It felt like a very caring and family-oriented atmosphere which we loved. Also the level of transparency throughout the end-to-end process was brilliant and the app to keep track of treatments and appointments was extremely handy.
We would absolutely recommend CRGH to anyone considering IVF/ICSI. We will certainly be coming back to use their services in the future. The team are world class which is testament to research-led approach and experience they have.
We can't thank them enough for all their help and support!
A. K.
I would 100% recommend CRGH to anyone needing fertility treatment. We had 3 failed fresh transfers (including 2 miscarriages) with no frozen embryos before we came to CRGH. They were amazing and took everything about our history into consideration when planning our treatment. We were under the care of Dr Theodorou who was brilliant and gave us the perfect treatment plan. He used evidence based research to plan what we should do. He answered our many questions and always treated us with dignity. I am delighted to say that we were successful and now have beautiful and healthy 10 month old twins! We couldn’t have achieved this without CRGH - a huge Thank you to the whole team.
S. W.
I cannot recommend CRGH enough. We attended for IVF with PGD to prevent the BRCA gene passing through to our baby. We were guided through every single step with such patience and reassurance. Couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience, and I sincerely hope that other couples have a good outcome like we did. Thank you CRGH for giving us our beautiful baby girl. We will forever be grateful
A. P.
We have used CRGH twice for fertility treatment and have been successful both times 1st time around! The knowledge in this area and the way that they tailor treatment to ensure we had the best outcome was second to none. I have friends that have gone through IVF with other places and I've always felt more monitored and given more medication to increase our chances. It has paid off as now we have a son and daughter! We can't thank CRGH enough! I would recommend them to anyone thinking about IVF in a heartbeat. If you're going to do it do it with the best!
R. K.
I was treated under the care of Miss Seshadri, who was very professional and informative. She provided me with a tailored treatment plan which was executed efficiently by the team. Importantly, Miss Seshadri renewed my hope in IVF after a negative experience in a previous unit.
R. K.
CRGH was wonderful during my fertility process. Dr. Saab was encouraging and empathetic, yet realistic about our possibilities. The clinic was efficient and on-time with my appointments. After years of unexplained infertility, we have a family of three children! One girl and fraternal twin boys. I can't thank the clinic enough for making our family complete.
E. I.
If we decide to go down the IVF route again CRGH are the only clinic we will be contacting. From our first appointments, where we heard upsetting news, right through to the end (I am currently 4 months pregnant) we were treated with empathy and understanding and everyone we encountered was utterly professional. The process was much longer than originally expected due to Covid 19 restrictions and a few other spanners but there was always someone who returned my queries and put my mind to rest. The clinic also quickly put strict sanitation rules in place so, although sadly my husband couldn't attend the appointments, I always felt safe at the clinic during the height of the pandemic. Our special thanks go to Dr Vidya Seshadri, our consultant, who arranged the very best surgeons and care for us throughout our journey. There are not really words to describe how grateful we are to the team at CRGH. Because of them we are looking forward to welcoming our little scientific miracle into the world.
S. L.
For what could have been a very difficult and emotional experience, the care I received was absolutely exceptional, even just walking into reception I was always greeted with the kindest smiles and warmest welcomes everyone time.
My consultant was Mr Theodorou and he was amazing, along with the lovely nurses I saw along my journey.
The level of communication, support and guidance throughout the process was outstanding and I cannot thank the team enough. I would not hesitate to recommend CRGH to others.
M. H.
Dr Saab and his team have been amazing at CRGH. We were fortunate enough to be blessed with our beautiful boy after just one round. The process was quick and efficient and I’ve never had to wait too long for nurses appointments and always manage to speak/get advice from Dr Saab without any difficulties. We can’t thank Dr Saab and his team enough for giving us the most precious of life’s gifts. I would highly recommend Dr Saab and CRGH.
E. G.
After several attempts of private IVF at another top London clinic, we truly saw a huge difference in the professionalism and standards at CRGH. Mr Serhal’s medical insight and perseverance over our two years of experience at CRGH was a game changer in helping us succeed in the IVF journey after a long road and several unexplained failed IVF rounds. We felt supported and confident in understanding the medical stages throughout the entire process. We were greeted with friendly faces all the way from reception, to the fantastic nurses and doctors. The Lab and embryology team at CRGH is cutting edge and one of the main reasons we chose the clinic. After having recently had our little boy, we will definitely be going back to try for a sibling. Thank you to the entire CRGH team for helping create our wonderful family.
A. C.
Dr Seshadri was a pleasure to deal with, not only in terms of her professionalism and expertise but because she wasnt worried about my high FSH (18.3) which the NHS told me would prevent me from being offered any IVF treatment with them. She recommended embryo batching using ICSI and PGS testing. The result was five, PGS normal, top quality embryos, one of which implanted on the first attempt. I am now 19 weeks pregnant with four left over embryos for further children which at 40 years old, is a wonderful place to be.
I do really feel that I got a personalised plan of treatment, which I responded brilliantly to, and I can only thank Dr Seshadri and the team at CRGH for their care and expertise.
I can highly recommend this clinic. Good luck to all those embarking on the IVF rollercoaster!
L. c.
Excellent experience at CRGH. The staff, every member we encountered throughout the process were all amazing, helpful, understanding and kind. Thanks to them all we now have a beautiful baby girl.
C. S.
Wonderful care from Dr Al-Chami and the team from start to finish. Very honest conversations about our odds of success and everything involved so we could make informed choices. Extremely well managed during COVID too, which added an extra layer of challenge. Feeling extremely blessed and grateful to have welcomed our second daughter into the world after a successful round of batching (our first is also a CRGH success story through the NHS). Highly recommend CRGH.
V. P.
We do not normally post reviews, however CRGH was a game changer for us and we wanted to share this information with other people looking to start the IVF process. We initially started with another 'leading' London clinic, after 3 IVF attempts got nowhere and had really poor results. We honestly were at the end of the road before we decided to get another final opinion. As soon as we met Mr Serhal and his team we instantly wished we had started directly at CRGH. When other experts said they had no idea why it wasn't working for us, Mr Serhal was honest, reassuring and worked through our case systematically. We took great comfort in his expertise. Lo and behold we now have a perfect baby boy, with embryos to spare. Hope this helps others on their journey.
S. L.
I had care at CRGH from October 2019 and welcomed my beautiful baby boy Into the world March 2021. I fell pregnant within 8 months of treatment and was hit with obstacles such as during covid-19. I was under Dr Khanjani’s care and she was absolutely incredible. She tailored my treatment very specific to me and made me feel so hopeful that motherhood was in my future. All the staff at CRGH were amazing. I couldn’t fault them from the friendly greetings at reception to the amazing sonographers and the knowledgable nurses. I always had such attentive care and communication with the team was really good. One of the hardest things about infertility is all the waiting- they’re care really helped with these difficult steps. If I have to go through further treatment to extend my family, I will definitely be using CRGH again.
H. P.
Mr Saab and the team at CRGH did a brilliant job for us - we have now successfully had a healthy baby boy from one cycle.
We had previously attended a different IVF clinic on Harley Street and had an unsuccessful transfer. The approach at CRGH was very different - Mr Saab had a clear plan as to how best to treat me rather than offering a 'standard' round. We moved to CRGH because they had such great success rates and we are delighted to now be one of those success stories.
A. G.
I could not recommend CRGH enough. After 3.5 years of infertility, my husband and I were so lucky to get NHS funding for IVF and our consultant strongly suggested we had our treatment at CRGH.
From the beginning we felt listened to and supported and were given a plan. Throughout the whole process I was astounded by the professionalism, efficiency, organisation and helpfulness of everyone involved including the reception staff , nurses etc.
There was never any ambiguity and any questions I had were always answered clearly and promptly. The app was a great help during my treatment as you can message the nurses and they always responded. Everyone we had contact with was helpful and kind.
We were so lucky to get 13 embryos and even luckier to fall pregnant after our first frozen embryo transfer. This has resulted in the birth of our beautiful perfect daughter Margot on 24/03/21.
We cannot thank Dr Duran and CRGH staff enough, without this clinic our daughter would not be here with us.
S. D.
We have had 3 children as a result of CRGH’s - and specifically Dr Saab’s - excellent, tailored help. Dr Saab is very thorough and caring, being honest and supportive as we went through each cycle. Although you are one of many people at the clinic, we never doubted his knowledge of our individual circumstances.
M.
The whole team went above and beyond throughout my egg freezing treatment, it’s an emotionally charged time but I was put at ease at every step of the way and couldn’t have asked for better care!
B. K.
CRGH has very welcoming staff at reception, appointments are prompt and the safety measures put in place during the pandemic made me feel very safe as a patient undergoing treatment. Thank you to Sonographers Elena and Zahava, Victoria, Dr Nagi, the Nursing Team and the CRGH Lab Team. Our very special thanks to Dr Ephia Yasmin who has been a great support throughout this process and has so much knowledge and understanding of many of the issues involved in decision making. After learning that the treatment wasn't available to us in the NHS, Dr Yasmin helped us to navigate the various questions we had in moving to pursue the treatment we needed for our individual circumstances. I will be forever grateful to Dr Yasmin and wouldn't hesitate in recommending CRGH to others looking for a London Clinic.
V. R.
This clinic is fantastic! I highly recommend them. Dr Seshadri was fantastic and we now have triplets from our first attempt at CRGH!
We first decided to have treatment with CRGH in June 2018 after two unsuccessful IVF attempts with another clinic where we felt that we were just another number and had lost faith in the process.
We researched extensively and CRGH was top for success rates and patient satisfaction and best of all, they treat private AND NHS patients. It was a 4 hour round trip for us to be treated at CRGH so we invested a lot in them and we were not disappointed.
We were amazed at the determination of our consultant Dr Seshadri and the attention to detail throughout our treatment. I was monitored more closely than during previous cycles, my drugs were altered accordingly and I was given more holistic advice in preparation for the treatment which no doubt improved the quality of my eggs. I was screened in more detail than I had been before and ICSI was recommended as a better option than IVF for us. This gave us 8 viable embryos (from 18 collected) compared with 2 in my previous fresh cycle (also from 18 collected) at another clinic.
This was our final shot as I was too emotionally drained from the previous cycles, so we decided to put two embryos back and the clinic agreed due to my age and treatment history. Not only were we successful, but one of our embryos split and we are now parents to three beautiful boys.
In what was such an incredibly difficult time, I felt I was in the safest hands. All of the staff at the clinic (receptionists, nurses, embryologists, doctors) are kind, compassionate and genuinely care about getting positive outcomes for their patients. I cannot recommend this clinic enough.
S. S.
After numerous Dr’s and different hospitals we knew we needed a change. CRGH came highly recommended by good friends and from the moment we met Dr Serhal and his team we knew we was somewhere special.
The service, care and techniques we received were fantastic and nothing was ever a problem.
We will be forever grateful for our special little girl.
M. B.
CRGH gave us the baby we have been waiting for for over seven years. We can’t possibly thank them enough for that. We were so happy with Dr Azturk as our consultant. He gave us hope when no one else could possibly do it and helped us understand our situation better to carry on. If it hadn’t been because of his calming, professional, honest and reassuring approach we probably wouldn’t have had our daughter now. Although there were a couple of hiccups throughout our time with CRGH, -mostly due to some rushed nurse appointments-, the main appointments and procedures were done with good care and patience. My husband and I would like to thank CRGH for giving us our daughter. Our special thanks to Dr Azturk and the brilliant embryologist who chose the right sperm for our only egg, fantastic job! Thank you.
L.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Mr. Theodorou and all the team at CRGH. We had a beautiful baby boy after years of infertility and two failed NHS rounds of IVF at a different clinic. Through our consultations with Mr. Theodorou, and the investigations we undertook, we were able to narrow down and address all the possible reasons for my infertility. Whenever we had a question Mr. Theodorou and his assistant Ingrida were always happy to help, and we felt well looked after throughout the whole process. We will be eternally grateful to CRGH for helping us add our little boy to our family!
A. M.
From the initial consultation to my last appointment (9 week scan) CRGH have been nothing but fantastic! All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Going through ivf is naturally a stressful/anxious period but they really made me feel at ease. I feel so grateful to them of course for the positive outcome that I am in currently. But for making the experience as smooth as it can be going through ivf. Thank you so much to all the team. I couldn't recommend you all enough.
G. H.
We've had a few rounds of IVF with CRGH now and have 2 beautiful daughters as a result. The staff have always been brilliant, kind receptionists and nurses. And our consultant has always gone above and beyond to help us.
L. L.
I had 3 rounds of NHS funded PGD IVF. I am sure my main consultant had my best interests at heart but she had a rather brusque manner and spoke extremely quickly all the time, as though she were always in a rush to get me out the door. In general the staff were not very approachable which saddens me as I need PGD and CRGH are very strong in this area. I wish I had had a different experience as I then could have then stayed with CRGH for these next rounds of privately funded PGD.
K. A.
The second we walked into the CRGH was the second I knew we'd made the right choice to undergo our Ivf journey here.
The CRGH is a family, and as soon as you walk through the doors you instantly feel a part of that family.
Our dr was Dr Vidiya Seshadri, and we couldn't have wished for a better Dr to go through this with. Her professionalism is second to none, and thanks to her and her amazing team, we have been blessed with two healthy, happy twin boys.
I would recommend anyone about to go through Ivf, to do it here. I genuinely can't praise them enough.
l. p.
I went to crgh for help with recurrent miscarriages . I was looked after by Dr Seshardri and have never felt more supported . Dr Seshardri was the first doctor to actually listen to our concerns and not tell us it was all bad luck . She is extremely knowledgeable and up to date with current miscarriage research .
The whole egg collection and embryo transfer was very straightforward and made me feel at ease . Currently 11 weeks pregnant which is the furthest we have ever reached . Thank you Dr Seshardri ! X

I cannot recommend CRGH enough. We did a lot of research with clinics recommended with our NHS funding and so glad we chose CRGH. They were very friendly, the communication was brilliant, covid protection and processes was great and even better news was our ICSI worked first time. Easy parking up there road near Regent’s Park. It worked well for us and would highly recommend our experience with them. As mentioned we were lucky to receive NHS funding and had the best experience witH CRGH.

We could never ever say enough amazing things about CRGH and Dr Seshadri. Our experience from our very first appointment, all the way to our final appointment was incredible. We have the most beautiful, happy, healthy little boy thanks to Dr Seshadri and the rest of the team at CGRH. They’ve made our dreams come true. Do not waste your time looking elsewhere - if you want the absolute BEST there is then you have found it at CRGH.

We had a great experience with CRGH from start to finish. Everyone was highly professional, friendly and efficient. We couldnt be more greatful for their role in helping us to grow our family. We are lucky to have two children aged 2 and 1.

Fantastic clinic - highly recommend. Excellent customer service, highly knowledgeable consultants and staff offering the latest researched methods to support your IVF journey. A special thank you and recognition for Dr Seshadri who I would highly recommend.

The path of ivf is a rocky one, paved with uncertainty, excitement and fear. When a woman hears that one of the most seemingly natural things to procreate doesn’t come naturally, it’s often a difficult time. A plethora of thoughts rush in, betrayal that her body doesn’t do what is expected to come naturally, guilt and shame to mention a few. So when an opportunity comes to have a second chance and give nature a little push it’s a welcome relief. CRGH are a phenomenal and wonderful organisation where literally everyone is rooting for your success. The medical staff are par excellence. IVF can often appear to be a daunting experience, however, everyone from the nurses to the embryologists are super patient, knowledgeable and reassuring. In short, they have made my journey in IVF a smooth one and I’m grateful that I now have a chance of achieving motherhood

Our chances of having a baby were virtually nil. Mr Saab was 100% committed to supporting our quest, he was patient and empathetic. I am now a 43 year old mum and am really pleased we chose CRGH and Mr Saab as our consultant.
N. E.
We attended CRGH for treatment for a period of over 5 years and we can't speak more highly of our experience. We received sophisticated, personalised and caring advice that always kept our spirits up during the journey. I'm very happy to say that our treatment resulted in two healthy children (a girl and a boy) born three years apart. The entire team delivers excellent, sympathetic care in very challenging circumstances and we would recommend CRGH to anyone.
K. G.
Dr Seshadri was very kind and considerate of the special situation we were in of having suffered 5 miscarriages in the past. She patiently led us through our treatment and we were successful.The nurses in CRGH are exceptional .
It is thanks to this wonderful team that we have our son now.
a. a.
Thanks to all the team at CRGH. we are able to have 3 normal embryos from one cycle that have the same Hla match with our sick baby who needs a bone marrow transplsnt. our first frozen embryo transfer by Dr Saab worked and we cant wait to meet little one in March 2022. The best fertility clinic ever

I would like to share my experience with CRGH, in order to encourage perspective future patients. After feeling very demoralised and stressed from having IUI at another well known London clinic I decided to transfer to CRGH. From the very beginning I cannot fault this clinic. I had an excellent consultation with Doctor Ozkan: he is clearly very knowledgable and devised a transparent treatment plan for me. He was patient and listened to the concerns I had. He did not push me down the IVF route which I appreciated (given CRGH would have made more money this way) which shows how genuine and patient centred this clinic is. All of the nurses, doctors I had through treatment were excellent, professional and caring. I also wanted to mention the staff at reception who always seem so busy but are always so polite and well organised.
I would encourage anyone thinking about treatment to pick this clinic!
K. L.
After almost 5 years and 6 natural miscarriages we finally have our gorgeous baby! This is all thanks to Dr Seshadri and her team at CRGH. With no answers for our losses and not being considered for NHS IVF we decided to go down the private route.
CRGH was recommended to us by a friend who had gone through a similar process and successfully had a baby of their own. The whole process from start to finish was explained to us carefully by Dr Seshadri and she tackled all possible areas of concern regarding our miscarriages. Although we still aren’t sure what caused our early miscarriages we cannot argue that everything possible was done to make sure our little one stuck it out to the end! The level of care we received was excellent from all staff and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CRGH to others experiencing fertility issues.
We cannot argue that having IVF privately is costly so please be aware that you will need funds for all the treatments, medication and tests that need to be carried out. However, it has definitely been the best money we have ever spent!
M. G.
My partner and I highly recommend the CRGH!!! Our experience was absolutely positive: the staff are kind, caring and exceptionally talented across the whole spectrum from doctors, nurses and administrators. It is an emotional and sometimes stressful experience having fertility treatment but our nerves were addressed every time and our care was consistent and thoughtful as well as professionally excellent. I believe the staff are definitely a cut above as we came from another clinic after a very negative experience. Friends had suggested the CRGH after they had a very positive experience there also! Now we couldn't be happier with the outcome of treatment: our beautiful twin boys!!!
A. M.
Since starting our treatment with the CRGH clinic we have been overwhelmed with the level of service, care and support that the whole team have shown us. From our very first consultation and throughout our treatment, as well as the aftercare given, the team have been absolutely outstanding and professional. They have always shown empathy, honesty and been attentive to our every need. They have gone above and beyond our expectations and for this we cannot thank them enough for the personalised treatment they have provided us.
S. F.
I had 8 years of subfertility with a history of two miscarriages and a failed IVF which left us hopeless as a couple, then we chose CRGH from the NHS provider list which we always will be thankful for whole of our lives. We were given exceptional care at every step of our treatment right from day 1 and the whole staff from receptionists to nurses embryologists sonographers and consultants all were great throughout. They do listen and care about your concerns and worries and keep you at ease at this already stressed journey. Here I would like to pay our special thanks to my consultants, Dr V. Seshadri, Dr M.Duran and sonographers Shaza and Paula and all the nurses. We would highly recommend CRGH to anyone on the same journey like us. They are very supportive irrespective of the fact we were their NHS patient, we were treated equally and quite fairly which we liked the most, unlike our previous IVF provider which did not offer even a fraction of care as compared to CRGH. Best wishes to all in team CRGH..!!!
S. P.
We really could not understand the bad reviews.
We have been with them for a few years and despite the failed cycles we have finally made it and we owe our beautiful angel to Crgh.
We have always been treated with care and compassion and we always felt the team made their best efforts to get us through.
From the call centre , the embryology and the nursing team everyone has been wonderful and we would recommend them to all our friends .
Special thank you to Dr Saab and Gerry his lovely kind secretary, the theatre team that made us feel at ease before and after our procedures, always with a smile on their face , the embryology team that walked us through all the details from the moment our daughter was just a tiny cell.
we would not hesitate to go back . Thank you all !
S. S.
We've experienced a difficult journey to become parents but at every step the staff at CRGH have been fantastic!
I am thrilled with the level of service and professionalism shown.
With every query, our emails and calls have always been returned. Each process has been clearly explained to us and counselling offered when we needed it.
We couldn't imagine going through this emotional journey at any other clinic!
Cannot praise them enough 😊.
H. R.
We will be forever grateful to CRGH. We had two rounds of PGD with them and now have a beautiful baby girl. The staff could not have been more professional and responsive to our needs and did all they could to make what is a stressful process as smooth and calm as possible.
J. B.
My wife and I are undergoing IVF treatment. Our experience of CRGH, their admin team, their nurses and their doctors is in our opinion first class. Our consultant, Dr Seshadri, is supportive and we can only speak highly of the treatment we have so far received received under the their care and guidance.
I. G.
“I would like to thank Dr Saab and the entire CRGH - London team. My husband past away several years ago and took me a long time to decide trying for an IVF. My experience with the clinic was fantastic and now I’m expecting my so wished lovely miracle little baby, who’s father is my late husband.
I highly recommend Dr Saab and the CRGH - London clinic for their professionalism and also for their friendly approachable manner in dealing with such delicate and personal manners. “
M. N.
I don't usually leave reviews but this clinic has given us so much hope. After trying for what seemed like forever to get pregnant, we decided to go to CRGH and are so glad we did. They are THE experts in fertility. And will tell you straight up what to do (no funny business) and tailor a treatment plan specifically for you. We were told to do IVF/IMSI and to our absolute delight, we have 4 blastocysts in the freezer. I truly believe this is thanks to their world class expertise. Having fertility issues is not easy, and the process can be hard and long, but if you want results, CRGH is a great place to start. Thank you to the team there!
C.
I cannot recommend CRGH highly enough as a clinic. We found every one of the team from the receptionists, embryologists, nurses, sonographers, doctors, theatre staff, and many more, to be incredibly helpful and professional. I am therefore surprised to read any negative reviews, of course like anywhere it is not 100% perfect but the clinic constantly strives to exceed expectations.
Going through fertility treatment is never an easy process but throughout I always felt as if everyone who I came into contact with had my best interests at heart, this makes things far easier.
In particular I cannot thank Dr Saab enough for his patience and kindness during the course of my treatment, he is a true professional who goes above and beyond for his patients. Throughout, I had the upmost trust and confidence in him and his advice and I feel very lucky to have been placed in his care. The support that Gerry offers is also incredible and I would also like to particularly thank Dr Seshadri for her compassion and professionalism.
My husband and I are extremely grateful for the level of care we received and the opportunity to have a child as a result of the team at CRGH.
K. S.
I am really surprised to read such negative reviews about CRGH! My experience was extremely positive and the staff are amazing! We were always treated like individuals and so well supported! Fertility treatment is a costly activity, but we were prepared for this as pricing is completely transparent at CRGH. When I would suggest opting for expensive add ons, our Doctor would advise based on the clinical need and steer us away from them as she deemed them unnecessary! We had 3 failed rounds of IVF and then due to positioning of my ovaries it was deemed too risky to continue with IVF. It was suggested we try the relativity inexpensive IUI, before considering egg donation. Because of maternal age and other factors we were given a 5% chance of this treatment being successful. We put our trust in the amazing Dr Seshadri and the team and our second cycle of IUI worked! My baby boy was born in October and we can’t thank CRGH enough! My advice to anyone put off by the negative reviews, is to go to an open day or book a consultation and make your mind up for yourself! Thank you again to all at CRGH!
V. S.
I would like to share our journey with others in the hope that it gives hope to other potential parents, without the CRGH team and the guidance of Paul Serhar we would not have had our beautiful little family.
We started our IVF journey with the CRGH 4.5 years ago. After being told that my chances were low on becoming pregnant with my own Eggs (after 2 egg collections and no success) with the support of the CRGH and Paul we decided to go for a Donor.
This for us was not a difficult decision after being given the statistics and success rates from Paul - we were very excited and positive. We had 2 Donors throughout our Treatment the 2nd being the one that we finally got pregnant from and had our daughter Veronica in April 2017. Then as if that wasn’t a Miricle enough we then had Wallis our 2nd daughter in November 2018.
Throughout our treatment at the CRGH we were given support, guidance and care from each and every person we met in the clinic from the reception team right through to the Medical Team - all our questions and concerns were addressed and we were always looked after to the highest standard. I have since recommend friends to clinic who have also become parents....
I can’t think of a better place to go to if you are in looking to start a family and need help, these guys are the very best, I feel forever grateful to them all 😊
C. I.
I had excellent care at CRGH. I had been to a different clinic previously and the step up in the level of care was remarkable. Dr Saab was extremely thorough and always took the time to explain everything (he speaks very fast so i wrote everything down and had to get him to pause!). I did not feel that he recommended treatments to me that were unnecessary and quite often he would refer to treatments and then say that he did not feel that I was at that stage yet so i always felt fully informed. It does add up and it is expensive but it is very much worth it if you can manage it. The sonographers and the nurses were all so lovely and i always felt that they genuinely cared about the outcome. Despite all the horror stories i think i was only left waiting once and on quite a few occasions my appointments were early. I could not recommend highly enough.
S. C.
From the start we’ve had the most informative and pleasant experience.
I found the doctors and nurses extremely helpful and very pleasant with dealing …
K. R.
This is one of the most professional fertility clinics in Europe and you will have the greatest chances there to become parents. It's a busy and expensive clinic but extremely focused on success like no other.
F. H.
I would highly recommend CRGH based on our experience with them. They are easy to deal with and have a friendly and professional team of staff. Our Consultant Dr Ozturk was first class. He explained everything clearly and patiently, he took the time to answer our queries comprehensively which we really valued. In his care we felt like we were in completely safe hands.
S. S.
CRGH have great doctors, embryologists, nurses and the best techniques and advice on what you can choose to do depending on your personal infertility circumstances and your budget. They are not cheap but not the most expensive. Save money on the drugs by going across the road to Chel Pharmacy. If you're young and have time in your side you can get better package deals elsewhere, like pregnancy guarantees for example, but if you're over 40 be careful wasting your time at inferior clinics. Go to the HFEA.GOV.UK website to check your chosen clinic. No clinic can make you pregnant if you have to many issues you're up against but we had two very big hurdles they helped us overcome at 42.
D. R.
I can’t rate them highly enough! Our journey was a tough one until we were recommended CRGH by a friend whose treatment had been successful.
From the moment we arrived at the old building in Greys Inn Road we were greeted by friendly and supportive staff. Finally we felt positive. Through out the treatment staff and doctors were professional supportive friendly and approachable and they really tried to do everything they could. Our first attempt was successful and we had a beautiful baby boy who is now 4 and keeps us on our toes.
Crgh really do tailor to your individual needs. This clearly works in most cases! This year we decided to go through it again this time in the new building at Great Portland Street. Dr Saab was fantastic and developed a plan again tailored to our individual needs. He was friendly and easy going and it was clear he took pride in his work and really wanted the best outcome for his clients.
Again we went through the treatment process with ease. Coming from Devon was a challenge itself but they tried to accommodate us in the best way which made the process stress free and easy. Again we have been successful and expect our new baby in January 2019.
There is a high price to pay but you can’t put a price on a baby and every penny was worth it. My particular case was challenging in itself and I really believe if we had gone anywhere else we wouldn’t have been so fortunate and blessed. They really do tailor to your individual needs and they have provided my husband and I and my family a perfect family.
Another lady called Chaza Zidane who we dealt with when going through the scan part of the treatment process really is a credit to her profession and without her expertise and knowledge there is a good chance i may not have had this 2nd successful treatment.
Thank you CRGH for everything you have done for us these past 5 years. There are
No words to describe how grateful we are!! X

We would like to specially thank Dr Paul Serhal, Francesca Steyn, Dr Srividya Seshadri, Shanee Franklin, Joy green & Suzanne Boniface. Sheetal & Allan

Myself and my wife under went ivf at CRGH. We can not thank the team enough. Everyone was so friendly and always remembered us. It was very comfortable and put us both at ease.
With being an NHS patient my wife thought the treatment and service we would get from the team would be a bit rushed and pushed but it was the complete opposite.
They did everything they could to help.
Hopefully in less than 5 months we will meet our baby.
We can not thank you enough CRGH.
Z. W.
As a very proud Mummy of 2 CRGH miracle babies, it’s hard to put into words quite how grateful we are to them. When we thought our gorgeous family would never happen, they made it. I cannot recommend them enough. Every member of the team is lovely, helpful and friendly, the clinic’s facilities are great and they are amazing at what they do.
M. H.
I would highly recommend CRGH based on my experience with them. They have a friendly and professional team of staff.
Our Consultant Dr Ali Al Chami was first class. He explained everything clearly and patiently, he took the time to answer our queries comprehensively which we really valued. In his care we felt like we were in completely safe hands.
THANK YOU Dr Ali for your continued Consultancy and for your Interest.
R. W.
DR Srividya Seshadri is a fantastic consultant, kind hearted and very professional. She had lot of empathy for my friend who was under her care at CRGH. There was only praises for dr Seshadri as She took care of her through out her IVF cycle including calls on the phone as she had lot of anxiety and I am pleased that my friend is very happy with Dr Seshadri and the team at CRGH who were also very helpful to her during her treatment. The nurses were nice and kind during this time.
T. B.
I have had a great experience at the CRGH. I find all the staff to be so professional, helpful and kind. Everything is clearly explained at every stage and the doctors inspire a lot of confidence in me. One feels one is in very safe hands. I would especially like to thank my wonderful doctor Dr Osturk for all his brilliant expertise and guidance so far. I should also like to thank Dr Montse Duran for her wonderful work in my treatment.
F. O.
We certainly didn't make it easy for CRGH (poorer than expected response to stims, poor fertilisation rate, only one embryo that passed PGS and then a long process to transfer due to uterine lining breaking down), but through it all CRGH (esp Dr Seshadri, her PA, the nursing staff, the sonographers and the embryologists) worked so hard to help us and were so caring along the way. Even the receptionists at CRGH helped ... they knew when to be chatty, when to leave you be, when to chase for paperwork and when to chase for appointments. We just felt in very safe and efficient hands throughout the whole difficult process. In the end we conceived naturally but I am 100% convinced this was as a result of some of the things we and CRGH learned about my body through my treatment and a suggestion Dr Seshadri and the team of consultants made about something to try when we were ready to try again on our own. For that I will forever be in their debt and I am forever grateful - the key was they didn't give up and they treated me as an individual.
B. B. (.
I can't thank CRGH enough for their amazing care & facilities through our journey to have our healthy baby boy. From the moment of our first appointment, it was a pretty speedy process (although it felt like a lifetime at the time!). The only negatives I would say is the waiting time at appointments were very, very long sometimes, which is difficult if you're popping out during work. BUT, I really appreciated them trying to make as many appointments for the same day to save me going back again and again, esp on the first appointment where we were in for 6 hours in total...that saved us MANY other visits and made things move forward quicker than I expected. It is a lengthy process, but we were very lucky to have success and I always recommend CRGH to people in similar situations (we had IVF for PGD on the NHS). Thank you for our beautiful baby boy CRGH.
K. J.
we decided to go wth this clinic because of the success rates for ivf icsi and ratings that this clinic had. We did have to think about this long and hard because we didn't live in the area. Which involved a lot of stress with traveling. Specifically in the first fresh ivf cycle and with appointments not always having a lot of notice. It Did mean that I had to take full days off work for appointments rather than just a few hours. But I do not regret my decision in the slightest, because I am currently 14 weeks pregnant, Only a year after my first consultation with them. I thank this greatly to the doctors and nurses and the whole team ofcorse.. but the real reason for the success I put down to the embriologosts at this clinic. They are top quality. Id be lying if I said I didn't have any hiccups throughout my journey, however what I can say is that they dealt with everything effeciently. The doctors and nurses were compassionate yet professional when I had a difficult and emotionally challenging time after my first cycle that resulted in pregnancy but sadly didn't progress past 8 weeks. My only criticisms would be that the appointments did seem rushed at times. Specifically nurse appointments. They do seem to be over worked and were late a lot of the time. I did also find the fact that your open at weekends, but only have an on call emergency number available and not the reception extremely inconvenient at times. However whenever I left voicemails for nurses they did respond within reasonable times. In the grand sceme of things.. those facts are minor and I would definately recommend this clinic to anybody considering fertility treatment. Thankyou CRGH
O. B.
My husband and I are currenly undergoing treatment with Dr Seshadri at CRGH and can't speak highly enough of the service we are receiving. I am genuinely surprised to read some of the bad reviews as they don't match on our experience over the last 10 months. Some examples below:
1. Dr Seshadri always takes the time to answer our questions and thoroughly explain things. She makes sure we know if something we are choosing to pay more for is optional, new, proven etc. We feel in control of what we are doing. She did our first transfer which was very comforting as she has a great bedside manner! Her wonderful secretary Christine always responds to my emails should I have a query mid-treatment and want Dr Seshadri's opinion.
2. Every member of staff we have met is friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. Whenever we have had a procedure they have been kind and thoughtful, always explaining what is happening and why. Any time we've phoned up we have been able to speak with someone and if the nurses are busy they call back within an hour or two max. This applies for out of hours/weekends too. It's very reassuring that we can always get hold of the team.
3. Appointments run on time and on the odd occassion that they haven't it's understandable - some things take longer than planned, people are emotional or have lots of questions. We've never been rushed out the door and I would rather wait a few minutes if it means someone else doesn't feel rushed.
4. We haven't experienced any problems with billing. They let me know in advance via email what will be taken from my account and give me the option to pay via BACS. We have always received copies of receipts etc.
Compared to the last clinic we went to CRGH is fantastic in every way. Even if we don't have success I know we would have given ourselves the best chance possible.
O. D.
Without CRGH we would not have our newborn twins. As 43 and 41 year olds, we had experienced several years of heartache attempting to have children. From day one, it was such a comfort to step inside CRGH - the warmth and friendliness radiated from the lovely team on front desk through all the different floors in the building. The staff are responsive, supportive, compassionate and incredibly knowledgable, we really can't speak highly enough about our experience there, and i would say the same even if we had not been successful.
N. M.
I've had two successful births following IVF after being diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. I had two different consultants for both treatments and the treatment plan they put in place was brilliant both times (I had a failed cycle on the NHS). All the nurses were amazing every step of the way, from injections to scans and blood tests. In my opinion The only reason the clinic has lost a star is that after the second embryo transfer I felt very rushed to come around from sedation and there was no ward to recovery in so I had to wait in the waiting area to recover. During the first treatment back in 2014 I was taken to a ward to recover and i could take my time to come around. I just felt very rushed to come around the second time. If the clinic reintroduced a recovery ward then I wouldn't be able to fault the clinic. Definitely It won't stop me from going back for a third go!
G.
I have PCOS and 39years old.
After finding out my egg count was deteriorating rapidly we decided to go through one round of IVF treatment.
Staff were patient and professional esp our consultant. Sometimes the nurses were a bit too busy and resulted in a lack of communication but didn't however impact on our treatment. We undertook procedures prior to starting ivf at the advice of our consultant. I truly believe that these procedures made the difference to ensure the best possible chance of successful.
After stimulation I only had 2 embryos that were viable which we implanted. So just wanted to provide comfort to anyone that it's about the quality and not the quantity of eggs. We conceived first time and our son was born in May.
So the odds werent great for us but all worked out in the end.
B. B.
I have recieved treatment from CRGH wheryby had to do IVF as my partner and I had tried for a baby nearly 7yrs. I must say i never thought i would recieve that level of care from all staff memebers there. They all had the time to listen to you and making sure they explained everything on details. I did 3 rounds of IVF and the last round was overseen by Dr Ali. Third round was successful (i am pregnanat) as he did all what was neccesary and other things that we though would probably never work- but still he never went by statistic and never gave up. I was really happy with him as he showed vast knowledge throughout the proccess and great care towards me as a patient. Because of this, i recommended other people to go and see him specifically. He s great. All in all, the clinic is the perfect one on this area.
A. O. h.
Have just been discharged from Crgh as 12 weeks pregnant first cycle. I cannot fault this centre at all. Had good experience and will be back hopefully for no 2 in the future hopefully. From dealing with tbe receptionists, my consultant Dr Al Chami, nurses,embryologists and sonographers were all superb.
C. R.
We chose CRGH because it also conducted research. We felt that this would mean they would be more update. Unfortunately, it just meant that they had little 'bed side manner'.
I'll start off by saying that our two cycles were unsuccessful. However, my negative opinion was formed during the first cycle.
Communication prior to implantation was excellent.
I was given a cervix relaxant several hours before implantation, there was no where comfortable to go through this, either the very small reception area or, as I chose, cured up in great pain on a chair in a corridor of the adjacent dental building.
I was not offered sedation for implantation, I struggle with smear tests but implantation was horrendous.
As is advised, I was expecting to lie on the trolley for a half an hour after implantation, but no, after two minutes I was sent elsewhere.
Second cycle, I thought I was pregnant, and their test confirmed this but at 7 weeks had a scan and they could not see anything. Told that the better quality scan was not working. Told to go back in a couple of weeks. The feeling of being pregnant soon went. Returned to clinic to be told very coldly that nothing there. I much later learned that I had probably had a chemical pregnancy.
For various reasons we chose not to do a third cycle with the final embryos. After a couple of years of paying for them to be frozen we decided that we would donate them to anyone who needed embryos for pregnancy. This was a complicated process. We had to fill in many forms, including a heartfelt note to the 'future' child/ren at 18. A couple of years after we were contacted by the clinic as they had omitted to do some essential medical tests. When we went to the clinic again for an appointment, we were kept waiting a couple of hours, we didn't even have the appointment with the named person dealing with donation, but, in a tiny room. All the forms had to be completed again. On the floor of the 'office' were patient files, showing confidential information such as name and client number. We were even left alone in the room with them. We were expected to complete the forms in that cramped 'office'. We didn't, we had to get out of there and do the forms justice. We went to the nearby shopping plaza and did over a very very long coffee.
So for a couple of years, our embryos were not even available for another couple to use. Heartbreaking. Now, the regulations have changed and embryos need to be from a woman under 40 and who has had a live birth. So now, my time with CRGH is finally coming to an end, after 10 years.
Would I have been happy if the IVF had been successful, yes of course. Would I have still thought that the process at CRGH was poor, yes, absolutely.
K. S.
Amazing experience very personal and just a great service. We are very pleased thank you Dr Duran and the team!
A. G.
I would definitely recommend this clinic. I’ve been a patient there for over 2 years and eventually my dream came true. The journey was long and exhausting but the doctor’s and theatre/ ward nurses professionalism and care were most helpful. My treatments plans were analysed on and on by doctors and the recovery nurses were so efficient and caring after the few procedures I had. Even the receptionist was so nice and helpful all the time. Thank you Dr Ozkan, Dr Montse, Ward Manager Costi and nurses team, John from reception. Yes, it is a bit more pricy than other clinics, but I believe the quality of treatments I got paid off. Indeed the financial department was a bit all over the place, where I got charged different prices for same procedures and few bills that I was not expecting them came later, so an improvement there could be done...but all sorted once questioned. I would happily return here if thinking of another baby.
R. B.
I was surprised at the bad reviews, because we had no issues. I think we understood IVF is not the cheapest thing in the World, so once we decided to start it was fine. Their knowledge is really good and so far things are going well for us. I do not want to share details but all I can things are looking good for us and we feel very happy with the service.
S. M.
We can not thank the team at CRGH enough
Our family is now complete with the birth of our little boy this August
After a couple of years trying for a second child, ( during which time I had an ectopic pregnancy and couple of early miscarriages) we approached CRGH
Due to my age we decided on the IVF that included genetic testing of the embryos. This was the more expensive option, but in our case worth it, as it saved lots of time in the long run and false hope (my best embryos that would normally be have bern transferred turned out to be chromosomally abnormal).
The doctors came up with a drug protocol that resulted in 14 eggs retreived of which 9 fertilised and we got 6 blastocysts.
After genetic testing we had one ‘golden’ embryo which really was treat like gold by the team.
I had issues pre transfer with my lining thickness and everything was done to check the conditions were optimal before transferring it back. Whilst this meant delays which were frustrating at the time, everything was always done in the best interests of my embryo and im pleased to say our first round resulted in our now 6 week old!
Main suggestion for improvement would be to try to have some continuity in the nurses that you see for appointments as this does chop and change

I am really surprised to see all these negative reviews! I just did a round of ivf and honestly was an amazing experience at CRGH. I have never felt so looked after in a hospital setting. They all wished me luck, afterwards, from reception staff to consultants which felt genuine.
I can’t speak for people who seem to have had the opposite experience but I will say this, these things take time and do require a certain amount of patience, it’s a big deal going through ivf, I cannot stress the importance of being patient with it all. I highly recommend them based on my experience. Sometimes when we live in a big city people are so impatient with their time, but going through ivf is apart from a (hopefully) successful fertilization an opportunity to completely slow things down in your life to allow for a potential fertlilisation. Breathe and good luck everyone :)

I highly recommend CRGH for having an excellent team of fertility experts, especially when it comes to embryos - their knowledge is outstanding.

This place is Brilliant, all the staff are very friendly and you feel welcomes everytime you attend. The whole process from start to finish is excellent. The stars of the shows are sonographer Shazza and Zaira who are particularly warm and loving. I would definately recommend having treatment here. In fact if we decide to have another cycle I would only choose CRGH.

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish, very professional and engaged. Had same chap do egg collection as transfer so had that full circle moment.

As a single woman facing fertility, I never felt alone in the journey thanks to the team! My pregnancy test came as negative… but the comprehension towards my case and professionalism were higher than expected.

I can only recommend the CRGH, and especially Dr. Serhal who helped me get pregnant very quickly. The team at the centre has always been very helpful and professional.

My experience with CRGH has been largely positive (except for the initial consultation where we were kept waiting nearly one hour), and I can't say enough about the receptionists, ultrasound technicians and phlebotamists who constantly went above and beyond with regard to both the quality of their care and their caring attitudes.

Via the NHS had a great experience with them successfully got pregnant the first time! Their success rates speak for themselves.

Yes it has cost us a fortune with all the failed cycles, but with finally having our little angel it was definitely worth all the money, pain and down times. Thank you Crgh for all the care.

Dr Serhal made the impossible possible.
After five painful years of desperation and a complex set of fertility challenges, we had almost given up hope. Dr Serhal's creative and bespoke approach has given us the child we never thought we would have. From having no blastocysts (at two other clinics) to having our own child (first egg collection at CRGH) has been down to Dr Serhal's medical brilliance. What he has achieved for us is no short of genius. He gave us our beautiful daughter and we are indebted to him.
With our hearts full, thank you and the whole CRGH team. 100% recommend.
