- IVI Istanbul

IVI Istanbul is part of the IVI Group which was founded in 1990 specializing exclusively in Assisted Reproduction, the first of its kind in Spain. With more then 20 clinics in Spain, Europe and America, over 20,000 cycles are performed every year. IVI Istanbul is up to the same standards of all clinics which form part of the IVI Group worldwide.
The latest technology is being used in the facilities and laboratories. The team in Istanbul treats both local and international patients and all staff, both clinical and laboratory, have been trained at IVI clinics in Spain and are well experienced.
Looking for the best location for your IVF treatment can already be a process that is not always easy to go through and we hope to make it simpler for you. Statistics are important of course, but you want to know what will be happening with you! Therefore the IVI Istanbul team will study your specific circumstances carefully and prepare your treatment plan in detail.
The IVI team is fully aware that it is not treating medical problems only but is dealing with different personalities each day. The doctors and the rest of the staff are well prepared to assist you in all of your fertility needs.
To achieve good results the doctors and biologists at IVI work in productive environments and continue to improve with IVI's continuous training plan. New investments in the equipment and facilities are constantly taking place and IVI is fully aware of the importance of an active research and development programme. No matter how difficult you think your case is, you are definitely in safe hands with IVI as this is the only place where you can achieve pregnancy. Three factors are important to achieve your goal of a healthy child.
Because if you have any doubts or concerns you will want to reach the IVI team any time of the day. Because if you need treatment on your ovulation day, this will have to take place on a public holiday too. Because you cannot make up excuses each time at work for your check-up. The large number of employees means that opening hours can be flexible, including weekends and hollidays.
Your problems are of utmost importance to you and to achieve pregnancy you will want to ensure that only the best professionals take care of you. Patients at IVI have the knowledge and professional experience of some of the best doctors in the world at their disposal. All of the professionals worldwide are constantly in touch to review cases and protocols.
Each time you speak to one of our professionals you will want them to know who you are, the specifics of your case and the stage of your treatment. The medical records in the safe computerized system mean that even if your doctor is not available or you are at an IVI clinic in any other location, all the information can be reviewed by other doctors too.
Doctors also need to attend courses and congresses, hence they might not be available 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You would of course not want that to have any effect on your treatment. It is therefore an IVI rule that the whole team is updated on each ongoing case and you can rest assured about your treatment even if the head doctor is not available at some moment. Through its large network you will not even face problems if you change residency halfway through your treatment or have to travel.
A solution to your fertility problems cannot start early enough. An appropriate number of gynecologists and biologists prevents waiting lists from happening and you can rest assured that everything will be done to ensure fast appointments.
You do want realistic options and information about your possibilities and the costs. You will be explained in detail the types of possible treatment, your real chances with each pregnancy and possible steps in case of unsuccessful treatment.
