IVF Serum
Advanced IVF treatment center
Serum IVF is proud to be one of the few remaining independent, family-owned IVF clinics in Greece, serving both local and international patients. Since opening in 1989, our clinic has over 35 years of experience providing exceptional, personalised fertility treatments in Greece.
At Serum IVF, we offer a fully integrated service in our state-of-the-art IVF centre in Greece, where every aspect of the fertility journey is managed in-house. From egg collection and embryology to gamete storage, we handle every step precisely. Unlike many other clinics, we do not outsource any part of the process, ensuring optimised care for each patient.
When you book your IVF in Greece with us, you will be treated exclusively by our team of experts in our dedicated facility. From your scans and egg retrieval to embryo transfer and storage, everything is done by our professionals under one roof, providing continuity of care and a personal touch that larger clinics may not offer.
We take a distinctive approach to IVF, focusing on egg quality rather than quantity, and use protocols that work with the body, not against it. This philosophy has led us to become known as one of the best IVF clinics in Europe, especially for those facing complex infertility cases. Our highly experienced embryology team’s careful judgment maximises the chances of success, particularly for patients who may not benefit from AI-driven or mass-production embryology methods.
Our clinic specialises in treating women of advanced reproductive age, including those who have experienced IVF failures or recurrent miscarriages. We are especially proud of our success in helping women achieve pregnancy with IVF over 40, using methods like ovarian rejuvenation, uterine rejuvenation, and our popular egg donation and egg freezing programs.
Patients from around the world trust us for our proven expertise in advanced fertility treatments, making us a leading destination for IVF in Europe.
Our team is committed to providing compassionate, personalized care, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible chance at success.
Whether you are seeking fertility preservation, support for complex infertility cases, or exploring IVF in Europe, Serum IVF is here to guide you every step of the way.
