After 8 failed IVF Embryo transfers (included 2 miscarriage) in our home country Sweden, we decided to search for help outside of Sweden. I google a lot to find a clinic who specifies on miscarriage and infertility. Something was wrong with my body.. I find Life clinic Athens where other Swedish people have visit and got helped to get a baby.

We contacted the clinic at e-mail and they answer us fast. After a few weeks/months we visit the clinic. At the clinic my wife took a bloodtest. Through the bloodtest Dr. Dimitri saw that my immune system was extra strong so my body pushed away the embryo.

We got medications from him and after a few weeks it was time for our 9 IVF transfer in Sweden (with medications from Dr. Dimitri). And it worked!! For the first time I gave birth to a baby!! It wouldn´t have worked without Dr. Dimitri and Eleannas help. If we want a second baby I will contact them directly.

I got in contact with Dr Dimitri and Life Clinic after several miscarriages and a group of investigations in Sweden that couldn’t give us an answer to the reason behind the miscarriages. Very quickly Dr Dimitri could help us understand that there might be immunological explanations behind the miscarriages and he suggested a treatment plan for that.

Throughout the pregnancy I had contact with Dr Dimitri who followed the progress through blood test results and suggested changes in treatment depending on my body’s reactions. It felt very safe and hopeful all the way! Our baby girl was born in March 2022. I am so grateful for the support and for giving us hope back after all the miscarriages.

This kind of treatment wouldn’t have been given to us in Sweden so this was really the solution that made a change for us. I can really recommend Life Clinic and Dr Dimitri.

Those of us who have experienced the arduous effort to become parents entering the process of in vitro fertilization in other centers, we can certainly evaluate with more objectivity the professionalism and the person Dr. Dimitris Papanikolaou. Experience in matters of immunity, training and experience in matters of in vitro fertilization, objectivity and honesty but also his human approach are key characteristics of Dr. Dimitris. It does not operate on the basis of mass but deals with each case with its uniqueness and uniqueness. We thank that in our lives are our twins so much Dr. Dimitris Papanikolaou and his worthy staff.

When I decided to try an IVF it was with a mix of hope and fear. I had tried an insemination with a private doctor in Athens and had found the experience somewhat traumatizing so when I set out to look for a clinic I asked a friend in Sweden for advice. She recommended LIFE clinic.

The experience has been altogether different. Dr. Dimitri advised me on how to prepare ahead of the IVF and was always available when I had questions during the months leading up to the IVF. I find this holistic approach very effective. The actual process proved to be quite amazing, which might sound strange, but the way everything was dealt with helped reduce a lot of otherwise stressful moments and made it an interesting procedure. I didn’t need to worry about finding medicines last minute or to go to different places to have blood tests done. Everything is available at the clinic in the center of Athens.

Dr. Dimitri and midwife Eleanna are truly dedicated to their work and as a patient you feel that. Plus they laugh a lot and that helps! My IVF resulted in pregnancy. I would recommend LIFE clinic to anyone without the shadow of a doubt!

Our case was completely exceptional, due to different current conditions, and that is why it was absolutely necessary for us to work with a really specialized clinic. Judging by the twin result, I unreservedly recommend both Dr. Dimitris Papanikolaou and his remarkable team, who with consistency, seriousness and, above all, humanity, stood by me throughout this difficult and demanding journey.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

After several miscarriages we got in touch with Life Clinic and Dr Dimitri who gave us great help. This help we could not get in Sweden as there´s no knowledge about recurrent miscarriages or the immune system.

We now have our beautiful baby girl and couldn´t be happier, all thanks to Dr Dimitri.

I can definitely recommend to get in touch with Life Clinic and get their professional help.

After many attempts and a few miscarriages, we were about to give up our desire to have children in Austria, but then we were recommended to Dr. Papanikolaou. Unfortunately, our experience with IVF doctors here was not too positive, so we were all the more surprised and happier by the approach and empathy of Dr. Dimitri. He was the only doctor who really took the time to research the possible causes of childlessness and based on this, he started the treatment. He always gave us professional advice and support and thanks to his help we got our beloved son with him in the first attempt! We can only warmly recommend and strongly advise Dr. Papanikolaou and not to waste too much time with “doctor-craftsmen”, but to go straight to a holistic expert like him.
From the bottom of our hearts many thanks, Dr. Dimitri!! Gernot & Birgit

After 12 years of wish for a child Dr. Dimitri made our dream come true.

We did several IVFs all around the world (Austria, United States, and Taiwan). I got pregnant twice, but had two miscarriages. Already after the first miscarriage I suspected an immune problem, and insisted on testing. The test result was an increased number of natural killer cells, but the only thing the clinic in Austria gave me, was intralipid infusions every four weeks after the transfer. There were no blood tests to observe my immune system. So I got pregnant, but had a miscarriage in the 10th week.

After that, I was convinced that I could never maintain a pregnancy, and since we had still three embryos left, my husband and I opted for surrogacy in the US. We found a wonderful surrogate mother, but unfortunately the embryos were broken when thawed in the US. So I flew to California for a natural cycle IVF, but there was no viable embryo. So we needed to give up the surrogacy process.

After two years, we had moved to Taiwan and did another IVF there. This time we had two blastocysts and had them tested, because I wanted to make sure that it was my immune system and not the embryos why I could not maintain a pregnancy. So we transferred the genetic healthy embryo. I insisted on intralipid infusions, but again nobody observed my immune system. So I had another miscarriage in the 10th week.

Finally, after doing research on the internet, I found Dr. Dimitri and Life Clinic in Athens. The moment I saw his immune specialization, I knew that if somebody could help me to get pregnant, it was him.

I first went there in September 2018. My first impression was very positive. Dr. Dimitri was not like all those doctors at the other IVF clinics who seemed to care only about money. He welcomed me warmly and gave me hope. He did the Chicago blood test, and planned my immune therapy accordingly.

It took me several attempts to finally get good blastocysts. Finally, in November 2019, we got two, and transferred both in the same cycle. And thanks to Dr. Dimitri’s perfect immune therapy I got pregnant.

During that year of visits in the clinic, Dr. Dimitri and Eleanna became like family to me. They always encouraged me and had time for me.

Dr. Dimitri observed my blood values during the whole pregnancy and adjusted the immune therapy accordingly. I just gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and plan to come back in one year for a baby girl.

Without Dr. Dimitri, I would not even have dreamed of one child, but he gave me the certainty that I could get pregnant and get a healthy baby. He is a real genius.

I warmly recommend him to every couple with immune problems.

Thank you Dr. Dimitri! I will be eternally thankful to you. You made my dream come true.

I truly with all my heart recommend Life Clinic and Dr Dimitri. After many years of trying to get pregnant with repeatedly heartbreaking miscarriages, he helped us fulfill our dream of becoming parents by discovering my immune problem that no one had seen before. Dr Dimitri and Eleanna are wonderful warmhearted and caring people and this clinic is so far from some other clinics where only money counts as soon as the papers have been signed.

Dr Dimitri has a great knowledge in immunological problems and we directly felt a great confidence in him. Thank’s to him we now have a six weeks old wonderful little son. Lot’s of love from two happy parents in Sweden.

After six missed abortions over a period of two years we decided to get help from Life Clinic Athens. I cannot recommend them enough if you suspect you have immunological issues (I recommend checking out the book “Is you body baby-friendly?” to learn more about immunological issues during pregnancy).
Dr Papanikolaou and the team are great and you feel very well taken care of. We were able to carry through our first pregnancy with their help and now have a healthy little girl.

Life Clinic Athens made our biggest dream come true and we cannot thank them enough.

Dr. Dimitri Papanikolaou at lifeclinic.gr has been imperative to our fertility success. He is by far the most professional, knowledgable and caring Fertility Doctors in Greece. After 8 years of IVF treatments he was able to find the perfect ivf/immune protocol that got us our baby. He also specializes in reproductive immunology which is hard to find in the United States. Lifeclinic.gr is not just another busy fertility clinic it is like a family.

You get one on one attention with Dr. Dimitri at every appointment. He even monitored my pregnancy after I returned to the U.S. all the way until birth.

We are convinced that without Dr Dimitri Papanikolaou’s help we wouldn’t have our wonderful little baby girl. We are forever thankful for the help we got from Life Clinic!
