HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARDS
Our technology is cutting edge, precise and reliable. From the materials that we use inside the laboratory (only the best culture and freezing media is used, regardless of the cost), to the handling of the embryos and everything in between, we only provide one level of service… the service of excellence.
OUR EXPERT HEAD EMBRYOLOGIST
Each process in our laboratory is supervised personally by our certified embryology laboratory director, Dr Kostantinos Economou PhD MSc. He is a renowned and respected embryologist who achieves excellence in his work, something that is reflected by his very high success rates and making him arguably one of the best embryologists internationally.
Dr Economou’s knowledge and expertise, having worked for almost 18 years in some of the best fertility clinics in the UK and Greece, provides a strong foundation for our excellent laboratory results. His dedication and commitment to his work ensures that each and every patients’ embryos are treated individually with personalized care to the highest standards. This, of course, makes all the difference to the final treatment outcome and contributes significantly to our clinic’s very high overall success rate.
