Four years ago when I lost a child, without over stressing, my husband and I did everything humanly possible to create a family. We turned to exceptional in vitro fertilization centers where I made 3 in vitro fertilization attempts, but the results were all negative. With the passing of time, you can imagine the effect this had on us both economically and psychologically. We had decided to stop all efforts and were convinced that we had to look towards other kinds of procedures such as adoption, etc. One day, I decided to browse on the internet to see which were the best IVF clinics that included the method of donating ova in their program. I found many different clinics but there was one that stood out and made a really good impression on me, so, I decided to write to them and fill in a form that I found on their site, even though I wasn’t feeling too optimistic anyway. The very next morning, I had already received a reply from the doctor, who was amazingly polite, warm and explanatory and who provided a very detailed description of the procedure that we would have to undergo, in the case that we decided to go through with this challenging experience. From that moment onward, they were constantly by my side. There wasn’t an email of mine that he didn’t reply to in just few minutes and whatever doubts, or queries I may have had along with any fears I faced, he was there, always ready to support me and provide me with the information and direction I needed every step of the way. We were informed approximately one week prior to our date of arrival in Greece and when we arrived at the clinic, within just a few days, everything was accomplished in comfort and relaxation, as if we were at home.
Today I'm in my 13th week of pregnancy, everything is going very well so far, and I thank God for showing me the way to Dr Paraschos.
If any one of you has the slightest doubt which center to choose, I can guarantee you will not regret your choice, should you choose EmBIO. I highly recommend it to you after having experimented with the best IVF centers in US. Today, it seems to me a miracle and I will never cease to be grateful to them for sharing my moments during this adventure so closely and with such warmth!
Wishing you all the best of choices and best of luck!

Pros:
1) state of the art premises, polite and professional staff
2) parking on site
3) friendly doctor
4) prompt response from coordinators, but not always
5) acceptable costs
Cons:
1) super long waiting hours to consult with the doctor, and consultation lasts only few minutes (less than 10, inclusive of ultrasound) and the doctor is divided between 2-3 couples at the same time.
2) personally, I had 4 failed attempts in EMbio, but I kept revisiting the clinic, as each time I was undergoing different treatments ( started with IVF, then IUI, then another IVF, then IVF with Donor Eggs). ALL of them resulted in Negative BHCG, and NO pregnancy. Even in the case of twice failed IVF, the protocol never changed.
I was never given any feedback on why the procedure was destined to fail, I was only told that these things happen. I was never given any information on the quality or the stage of the embryos. They transferred embryos after only 2 days of lab growing.
After each failed attempt we communicated to the clinic, we never got any call from the doctor, we had to call and insist on an appointment with him, which resulted only in a friendly advise " we will be successful next time" and zero feedback. Even if we asked for some further investigations, we were told it wasn't necessary.
But each time, any attempt is translated (for us) into a huge emotional and financial investment from our side, and (for Embio) into huge business.
My last attempt with Donor eggs was a bitter experience. I was asked explicitly to pay cash, and when I did, I was NOT given a receipt, so I became quite upset, and only then they accepted my payment by credit card. I was transferred 3 embryos, which is against the state law in Greece, and the transfer occurred in day 2. When I asked why was that, I was not given an explanation. I had the longest 2 weeks waiting of my life, only to have a Negative pregnancy test. By the way, they didn't require an estradiol lab test on day 3 of my cycle, neither they asked for a TSH.
I self checked my TSH, only to find out it was too high, but when I told the doctor, he said it didn't matter. I was also told that there weren't left any frozen embryos, or the ones left were of poor quality.
I was advised on the spot to have another IVF with donor eggs, and I was given a very small discount.
I will not go back to Embio again.
The approach is "too friendly" and less professional. Failure can happen, but the professional attitude of the doctor can make up to it.
NB. I am a doctor myself, and my husband is a doctor,too, so we know the procedure step by step and I wanted to show my trust to the doctor. I also know how to make my patients feel comfortable and happy. This time I was a patient myself, and the patient journey was rather disappointing. The treatment is not up the standards, so as to guarantee success, and we cannot abide everything to chance.
However, I cannot advise anyone not to go to EMBIO, the choice is absolutely personal. I wish every success to future parents and to the clinic themselves.

I was a bit on the overweight side, with a higher BMI, but I had lost 10 kilos over 12 months. Jason quit smoking to improve both his health and our chances of conceiving and yet, we still had no success so we called Embio on the recommendation of Jason’s sister who lives in Athens with her family.
On the first appointment with our fertility specialist, Dr. Paraschos, we were asked to have blood tests done in order to check my husband’s sperm and see if my cycles were ovulatory. Turned out they were longer, but this could have been due to my higher BMI. The tests confirmed that I was ovulating and in few words potentially fertile with no signs of other risks. Jason’s sample was normal too. Our doctor didn’t determine any other causes so we were facing unexplained infertility. He explained that it is common and the cause of up to 35% of infertility problems and so suggested IUI which apparently is less invasive and a good starting point for situations like ours.
Our specialist suggested we try up to two IUI cycles before thinking of more progressive treatments.
And so we opted for IUI and following the second cycle, I was pregnant!! We now are two very happy people with an amazing healthy baby boy in our lives. Thank you to everyone at Embio for your help!

My only concern was how to combine drugs for non-rejection of the graft with IVF treatment, but my body responded well to this combination. Mr. Paraschos and his team inspired confidence and gave me great support.
I started my treatment on September, 2016, and one month later I was implanted with three embryos, but only one was caught with the first.
I am finally pregnant and I wait for my baby in July 2017. I have to give advice to women who have been transplanted and feel the need for a child: Do not hesitate to contact the EMBIO center in Greece. Your dream one day will take place.

We decided to put it off for a while and to just take it easy while we considered, at a slower, more relaxing pace, all our options. We were told about a fantastic clinic and an amazing doctor there, so, he became my only and last hope and I was bent on finding a solution to my problem as no one had really explained to us what the problem was. Both of our tests had shown no specific problem. At EmBIO clinic, where I had some extra tests done (that hadn’t been done before), such as my ovaries tested, then Dr. Paraschos caused an over-hyper stimulation of my ovaries, hence, I couldn’t do an egg retrieval at that stage so we had to wait for the next cycle (#8) and to our indescribable relief and joy, WE MADE IT!!!!
We are forever grateful to Dr. Paraschos and his whole team that was there for us every step of the way, he encouraged us, he was polite, and he was professional most of all! Today, we have a 1-year old baby girl who is the love of our lives and feel so fortunate to have trusted my instincts and to not have given up!

We are a couple from Uk and we been told that there are very low chances to get a baby even trough an IVF treatment because the sperm of my husband was very bad, 98 por cent bad.
We have searched for the best clinic in Europe and we found EMbio Medical with dr Thanos Paraschos -as the best and i filled a form and after 20 minutes i received my first email from the doctor, very efficient .After a few emails during a few days between us and Dr Paraschos who by the way he was quick in his replies with full explanations to our questions and videos about the procedure , we have decided to go in Greece to meet the Dr at Embio Medical Center. Everything has happened as discussed on the emails.We found the clinic and the staff very professional , very nice and very friendly thank you all. Especially a big thank you to Dr Paraschos who told us from the first consultation that we have high changes to have a baby and I couldn't believe it! all went very good , Dr Paraschos is very confident with what is doing , very experienced doctor and you can see he is such good and nice person.
Also they have very good prices in comparison with other clinics and will never charge you more then is necessary and this is very important , very happy about this thing.
We recommend Dr Thanos Paraschos with 100 porcent trust , please just contact him and you will see what I mean.

Without doubt I believe that no other clinic would have paid such attention to my case. My doctor and staff at Embio made me feel secure and hopeful and reassured me that I was in the best of hands and it turned out that I really was.
I definitely recommend Embio clinic to everyone. That’s exactly what I have already been doing! From the doctors, and in particular Dr. Paraschos, our ivf coordinator, to the nurses and receptionists, everyone was really compassionate and unforgettably lovely to us! God bless them all! I am a healthy mother with my beautiful miracle daughter in my arms and a wonderful partner who was and is my rock!

I never could have dreamed at the age of 50 to hold my own baby in my arms.
I do recommend Embio Medical Center to anyone.
The personnel was very understandable and helpfull. The Clinic itselve is a very clean center. Sometimes the waiting times were a bit long and there were not many seats. But this doesn´t matter because of the result of having our precious baby boy.

When I got to Athens are started my fresh cycle, I found a clinic that was packed with people in the waiting room--upwards of 20-25 patients waiting to see the ONE DOCTOR in the clinic, Dr. Parachos. I would often make an appointment only to wait 1.5 up to 2 hrs for some visits, only to get less than 30 seconds with the Dr himself. He performed my ultrasounds so fast, without saying anything to me about what he was seeing, that one time I even timed it on my phone...31 seconds from the time he walked in the room to when he told me to get dressed. I felt very much like a number and in the McDonald's drive thru of IVF clinics.
During my cycle they NEVER drew my blood to check my hormone levels. And never measured the follicles. Eventually I took matters into my own hands and insisted they do a blood draw and tell my how my follicles were progressing, which they finally did once to appease me. I found myself in tears multiple times at this clinic.
When they did the egg collection, they provided no information on vital information in the following days like, how many eggs fertilized, how many made it to Day 3? Day 5? These updates were commonplace at the other clinics I used. I was BEGGING for information from my coordinator who would ignore me.
After the transfer, I asked to see the embryology report so I could know the grade of my 2 surviving blastocysts and what exactly happened with all my eggs. Both Dr. Parachos & Konstantinos assured me they would give me that information that afternoon. They told me the embryologist would be "right in to see me" to explain. After waiting 2 hrs I finally gave up waiting, however Konstatinos assured me that the report and a copy of my medical records would "be in my email tomorrow morning." That was July 5. After a few days I asked again for my records. He assured me they were coming. Another week. Asked again. Nothing. Fast foward to 3 MONTHS AND ONE LAWYER LATER, I finally received the one page copy of the embryo report and 2 page copy of my IVF protocol and medications. I made more than 7 requests over email and What's App and was just flat lied to multiple times. I wrote a formal letter requesting my records. They ignored me. I finally hired a lawyer and once she stepped in they started sending the records...one page at a time. It took the lawyer about 5-6 calls to finally get them to send these whopping 4 pages of my record. I just now got them, and am sharing this nightmare scenario working with this clinic.
They talk a big game, but unless you want to be ignored, lied to, and have the fastest wham, bam, thank you ma'am style treatment, run far away from EmBIO clinic.
