We will always be grateful to the clinic for treating us with love and care.

My husband and I were recommended to the clinic via friends who all had positive experiences from a service perspective. We were not disappointed. My consultant Dr Saab was very professional and always gave us advice with compassion and patience whilst keeping us grounded at the same time. The service from our sanographers and nurses was also of a high standard. We were blessed in May with twins and will always be grateful to the clinic for leading us on this rollercoaster of a journey with love and care.

I can’t recommend Dr. Sheshadri and the CRGH team enough

I had an amazing experience with Dr Sheshadri and CRGH. After 2 miscarriages without apparent reason, I was devastated and I thought I might need some help. So I decided to go to CRGH and I found that Dr Seshadri was a specialist in recurrent miscarriage. Best decision of my life! On my first consultation with Dr Sheshadri she was super proactive and listened to me attentively. Then, she made an action plan regarding further testing and potential treatments. After the testing we finally found my issue (overactive Natural Killer cells)! Then we had another consultation to put the plan and treatment in motion… and once I was pregnant the nurses took over and guided me through the first 3 months. The whole team was super helpful and responsive whenever I sent questions by email. Fast forward exactly 1 year and 10 days after that first consultation, I was welcoming my baby girl to the world. She is 15 months old now and as healthy as happy as she can be! I can’t recommend Dr. Seshadri and the CRGH team enough. Thank you so much!

August 2023

We remain ever so grateful to Dr Saab and all the CRGH staff.

We can’t thank Dr Saab enough for all his advice and guidance. After having 5 failed cycles in another clinic, Dr Saab’s meticulous expertise resulted in the birth of our son. We remain ever so grateful to him and all the CRGH staff.

We received fantastic service from start to finish with the utmost professionalism and genuine care

My partner and I have been trying to conceive for the past 6 years. We were recommended CRGH clinic by our fertility nurse. After doing our own research we felt this was the clinic for us. We received fantastic service from start to finish with the utmost professionalism and genuine care. Everyone that we met at the clinic, from the receptionists to the nurses, doctors and embryologists were so empathetic and supportive throughout our IVF journey. We had a really good experience with Dr. Elpiniki Chronopulou, with her positive yet very calm approach and guidance we were able to make the right decisions based on her expertise. On behalf of my partner and I, we would like to thank everyone at CRGH for their dedication, kindness and respect for what has been a very emotional time. We are not quite there yet, but with the help of CRGH I believe we will. We have had such a positive experience with the clinic that I would definitely recommend them to anyone that is thinking about going through IVF.

Your expertise, compassion, and unwavering support have forever touched our lives

Dear Dr Al-Chami, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the extraordinary role you played in making our dream of parenthood a reality. Your expertise, compassion, and unwavering support have forever touched our lives, and we cannot thank you enough.
For years, we struggled with the challenges of endometriosis and the heartbreak of failed attempts to conceive. But from the moment we stepped into your clinic, we knew that we were in the best hands possible. Your genuine care and understanding gave us renewed hope and strength.
You took the time to address all our concerns, patiently explaining each step of the process, and guiding us with utmost dedication. Your attention to detail and personalized approach to our unique situation made us feel truly cared for, like more than just patients – you treated us as people on a deeply personal journey.

August 2023

We welcomed our son after the first attempt with CRGH.

After having being unsuccessful in previous attempts at another clinic we were delighted to have a tailor made treatment plan from Mr Theodorou that took into account the challenges we faced before. We welcomed our son after the first attempt with CRGH. I would highly recommend this clinic for their expert medical knowledge and giving us the best chance possible to become parents.

August 2023

Highly recommend CRGH and Dr Seshadri

I’ve delayed writing this, wanting to get further along in our pregnancy “just in case”. I’m now almost 28 weeks in my first pregnancy and I truly feel that it is down to your evidence based guidance, and faith that you would be able to help us. We felt seen, heard and taken seriously throughout and that you (Dr Seshadri) really had our best interest and best outcomes at heart. We were completely shocked that our first transfer worked and that every call or prediction you made, seemed to be right every time.
So whilst, we aren’t at the end of the road yet, I did want to take this moment to say thank you. And whilst we don’t know what the future holds in terms of siblings, if we do decide that’s what we want, we will surely be in touch!
Highly recommend CRGH, having been with a cheaper clinic, in this you absolutely get what you pay for.

Amazing service provided by CRGH

Such an amazing service provided by CRGH. Also, Dr Duran was very supportive and I would recommend her for anyone undergoing any treatment at CRGH.

July 2023

A best-in-class experience with CRGH

A best-in-class experience with CRGH to freeze eggs, resulting in better than hoped for results and an stress-free and painless experience. I felt taken care of by a team that was empathetic, human and experts in their fields. Everyone worked seamlessly to monitor my progress and tailor my treatment to exactly how my body was responding and what I needed personally. Dr Saab who took the time to explain everything with a smile and who cared about my success.

July 2023

We are ever so grateful for all their care, professionalism and empathy

I can’t recommend highly enough Dr Duran and the team at CRGH. Considering my age, 46, they have performed a miracle! We are now 11 weeks pregnant. We are ever so grateful for all their care, professionalism and empathy and in particular those of Dr Duran.

July 2023

They went above and beyond to check everything to bring peace of mind

I’m now happily pregnant after my first frozen embryo transfer attempt at CRGH and couldn’t be happier. My consultant Dr. Saab was so lovely and attentive all the way through and the care and attention I got at the clinic was consistent. They went above and beyond to check everything to bring peace of mind. I’m 39 now and have more embryos in the bank so will definitely be returning to CRGH to complete my family

July 2023

I cannot recommend CRGH enough

I came today for egg extraction, literaly typing this in recovery. The moment you walk in the receptionist was so friendly. The nurses and health care assistants were plentiful and very responsive, and anaesthetist was very warm and reassuring. When you go in to the theatre there were loads of people all there to just look after you. I had barely any sedation due to my BMI and honestly it was so easy and never painful, just mildly uncomfortable at times. A particular mention deserves to go to the doctor carrying out the procedure, I have experienced many doctors that do not have a good bedside manner, but I was shocked at how caring the doctor was, and he did a fanatastic job extracting a large amount of eggs with no issues. I cannot recommend CRGH enough, and I would absolutely write about issues if there were any, but there honestly was not.

July 2023

Thank you Dr Saab and CRGH for a healthy and beautiful son

I was told by a previous fertility clinic that I would not be able to have children. I changed to CRGH due to their reputation and HFEA results and reviews. After one IVF and on second transfer at CRGH I become pregnant and gave birth to a healthy and beautiful son. Dr Saab and the team were always available to answer our questions and explained everything thoroughly and clearly and to change treatment when required. I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic, particular Dr Saab. Thank you.

Really recommend this clinic

I am now holding my 3 month baby girl after having my transfer here last year. Really recommend this clinic. Great doctors and team.

The expertise and support at this clinic was really good.

The expertise and support at this clinic was really good. The doctor listened to my specific case and discussed options openly and honestly, with no pressure to accept. In the end I conceived naturally just before we started treatment so did not use the clinic, but the initial stages were very positive.

July 2023

The whole team was very friendly and efficient

Incredible experience at CRGH. After 2 failed retrievals at clinics elsewhere, I had a successful retrieval, implant and I’m now holding my 2 month old.
The whole team was very friendly, efficient and left me feeling very confident. Phone calls were always answered, or responded to within the hour.
A special thanks to Dr. Saab, who explained everything he did thoroughly and didn’t have me feeling like he was trying to upsell me on treatments/drugs/tests that he didn’t feel I need.

July 2023

The team at CRGH is very professional

My personal experience with Dr Srividya Seshadri was outstanding. I came to her after a poor experience at another clinic, and she provided me with a clear explanation of the treatment options and asked me relevant questions to develop a more personalised treatment plan.
Thanks to Dr Seshadri’s knowledge and expertise, I had a significant improvement in my egg count and embryo quality in comparison to my previous IVF cycle.
Despite some early miscarriages, Dr Seshadri was persistent in finding the right protocol for me. She took the time to listen to my concerns, recommended the best course of action, and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The team at CRGH is very professional, and while waiting times can be long, they are definitely worth it. They are always willing to answer any questions or concerns and provide reassurance during a stressful time. I am now 4 months pregnant with a healthy baby boy.

July 2023

CRGH brought us the successful outcome we have long awaited

I experienced utmost kindness and empathy

We received fantastic care from Dr Al-Chami and team at CRGH. I experienced nothing but the utmost kindness and empathy from every member of staff we encountered. Dr Al-Chami went above and beyond to help me feel relaxed about the process, and was very diligent in monitoring my care. We are now 10 weeks pregnant.

July 2023

Dr Niki made us feel cared for and reassured us

We are very grateful to CRGH and especially Dr Niki Chronopulou for helping us finally achieve our dream ( we are 11 weeks pregnant with twins!). It was undoubtedly one of the most challenging journeys in our life so far, but Dr Niki’s expertise, calm and positive approach, and all round humanistic approach , made us feel really cared for and reassured. Unfortunately our first two transfers didn’t work, and we were down to our final attempt and Dr Niki put herself forward to do the final transfer herself – and it worked and we now have twins. Thank you Dr Niki!! And also thank you Lisa Lawrence (Dr Niki’s secretary) who was always helpful and very patient with us.

July 2023

We are extremely grateful to Dr Saab and CRGH

We moved to CRGH after having unsuccessful treatment at a different clinic. Dr Saab is knowledgeable and professional from the start and really made us feel like he could help and wanted us to succeed. All questions were answered promptly and we felt reassured we were in good hands. Our first transfer with CRGH was a success and I am currently sitting with our 6 day old little girl! Something we never believed would happen after 4 years of infertility and losses along the way.
We are extremely grateful to Dr Saab and CRGH for making our dream come true. Thank you.

July 2023

Clear, sensitive and effective

We were extremely happy with the treatment we received at CRGH. We felt in very safe hands and communication was excellent. Given that fertility treatment is stressful and expensive, we thought that the systems in place were clear, sensitive and effective. We would thoroughly recommend the clinic.

Care at CRGH was excellent at every point

I found the care at CRGH excellent at every point. There was the right level of monitoring (enough to know they’re on top of it but not so much that you’re stressed out with needless appointments). All the team are really caring and communicate very sensitively and informatively. Our little boy is the end result! We cannot thank them all enough and I highly recommend this clinic.

We welcomed our little boy last month with the help of the whole CRGH team

After a journey that took us 2 years from our initial consultation, we welcomed our little boy last month with the help of the whole CRGH team. All the staff at the clinic were excellent, from the nurses right through to the receptionists. They were always on hand to answer any questions but more importantly offer support during the challenging times.
