The patient journey at IVF Life starts with a welcoming atmosphere that makes patients “feel at home”, in a comfortable and relaxing environment, inspiring peace and calm, where attention is paid to every detail, all the way through expert medical consultations, tailored genetic and immunology testing, precise diagnostics and customized fertility and/or IVF treatments and down to the magic moment when the mother listens for the first time to the embryo’s heartbeat during the ultrasound scan. A journey full of emotions, scientific and medical expertise, and human passion, during which all the staff at IVF-Life works devotedly to help parents-to-be make their dream, of building a family, come true.
