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

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.
