Led by internationally recognized fertility specialist Dr. Athanasios Garavelas, the clinic combines scientific excellence, personalized treatment planning, and access to one of Europe's most advanced IVF infrastructures through its collaboration with Institute of Life – IASO.
Ovagenesis was established to provide fertility care that is highly personalized, medically advanced, and centered around the unique needs of every patient. Rather than applying standardized treatment pathways, each fertility plan is developed after careful evaluation of the patient’s medical history, fertility profile, reproductive goals, previous IVF experiences, age, timeline, and individual circumstances.
Through a patient-centered approach, Ovagenesis assists individuals and couples throughout every stage of their fertility journey, from the first online consultation and medical record review to treatment planning, coordination in Athens, and follow-up support after treatment.
Under the leadership of Dr. Athanasios Garavelas, the clinic supports both routine and complex fertility cases, including recurrent implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy loss, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, unexplained infertility, male factor infertility, endometriosis-related infertility, PCOS-related infertility, and fertility treatment for women over 40.
Through its collaboration with Institute of Life – IASO, Ovagenesis provides access to advanced assisted reproduction infrastructure, modern fertility technologies, donor programs, fertility preservation services, genetic testing coordination, embryology support, and specialized reproductive medicine resources while maintaining the attentive, physician-led experience many international patients prefer.
The clinic also provides specialized fertility services including Preimplantation Genetic Testing, Specialized Fertility Assessment, Advanced Semen Analysis, Surrogacy Guidance, PRP, and AI-supported fertility and embryology tools. Additional specialized services and combined treatment solutions may also be available depending on each patient’s medical profile, fertility goals, and individualized treatment plan.
Ovagenesis aims to make fertility treatment abroad easier, clearer, and more reassuring by offering professional medical guidance, discreet communication, transparent coordination, compassionate care, and personalized international patient support.

Ovagenesis provides international patients with clear guidance regarding indicative fertility treatment costs before traveling to Greece. Final pricing may vary depending on the patient’s medical history, fertility diagnosis, required testing, medication needs, laboratory services, donor involvement, treatment combination, and the final plan recommended by the medical team.
Indicative starting costs provided by Ovagenesis include:
Ovagenesis also offers combined treatment packages, which are tailored according to each case, the patient’s medical history, individual needs, and the treatment plan recommended by the medical team. This allows patients to receive a more personalized estimate based on their fertility goals rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Important note: The success rates above refer to the clinic’s reported average success rate in 3 embryo transfers.

Yesterday Dr Garavelas performed the ovarian rejuvenation therapy. At this point I have of course no facts to share yet on the possible result of this treatment but I do already want to talk about my experience with the Dr and the clinic. My main goal is to give clear information to women who wish to walk down this same path in the hope it can help others. Admitted, I was quite nervous when I arrived at IASO center, I’ve reached a certain age, I was in a foreign country with a language I do not understand and about to undergo a laparoscopic treatment not quite knowing exactly what to expect. The team of Dr Garavelas was however very professional right from the start, they stood by me every step of the way, explaining every next action and ensuring I did not feel lost or uneasy. I found everything to be very well organized, whenever I needed to go to the another part of the hospital for blood tests or paperwork, I was always accompanied by a member of his team ensuring all was in order and would go smoothly. I met with Dr. Garavellas on the first day, he took his time to explain the procedure and also gave honest feedback on risk of failure or what the most realistic path to follow is. At no point did I have the impression something was made to look more optimistic than the reality. He stayed with me till I had no more questions to ask. On the day of the surgery, I found all safety measures to be in place, every single member of medical staff I encountered always checked the identity bracelet around my arm, everyone questioned me on possible allergies and medical history. I do not have easy veins when it comes to taking blood or inserting an infusion but also on that point, nobody had to make a second attempt. I saw Dr. Garavelas again shortly before the surgery and after the procedure he and 2 of his team members visited me in my room to check up on me, something which was highly appreciated, and to inform me that everything went as expected. My thanks and appreciation go of course in the first place to Dr Garavelas himself, also to Lucia for being so comforting and to Katerina for being caring and reachable. I also wish to extend my gratitude to Effie of Medipass who gave me the correct info and direction. A special thank you to Aphrodite for being by my side those two days, for supporting me and for being the radiant person she is! Once I am further down the path I have started, I will certainly share more here, hoping to give some courage to other women who have the dream and wish to have a child.
We are extremely happy with our experience at the clinic. The staff is truly wonderful , kind, empathetic, and very professional. They were always available to answer our questions and support us throughout the whole process. Thanks to their dedication and proactive care, we felt confident and well guided every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful to the whole team for helping us achieve our dream
I wish to comment on the Excellent service received at the clinic on the 28/11/2023. My visit was all good right from the start of the appointment and doctor selection through Effie, then Katerina who arranged the appointment with DR Garavelas. On arrival at the Clinic, It was a warm welcome from Afroditi and the initial consultation with Dr Garavelas’s assistant. All these were very assuring. My consultation with DR Gravels was very good and professional. He explained the procedures and did inform of us of his honest opinions. I want to express my special gratitude to Afroditi and Eirini who made my stay and visit very easy and comfortable. They were both professional and humorous. They delivered an excellent service and were very patient centred. They kept me smiling all through. Efharisto
Dr. Garavelas is not just a doctor but a miracle worker and his midwife, Aphrodite, the most helpful and amazing person in every respect. What sets them apart is not only their impeccable professionalism, but also the fact that they stand by you every step of the way. I would recommend them hands down.
My recent visit to Garavelas Medical Group was truly exceptional, thanks to the expertise of Dr. Garavelas and the dedication of his team. Dr. Garavelas's clear explanations and calm demeanour immediately put me at ease during my visit. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Katerina, Aphrodite, Irene, and the entire healthcare team for their unwavering support and professionalism throughout. For those seeking fertility care in a supportive and skilled environment, I confidently endorse Garavelas Medical Group.
