The attention to detail and love they show, wanting the best for you, is outstanding

5 50 IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

After 7 years of IVF failed attempts in Australia, we were recommended to look into Dr. Nikos and his team at Embryoland.

Wow, if only we knew about Embryoland 7 years ago, I would have an army of kids now.

We rang Dr. Nikos, and within 30 minutes, he called us back through FaceTime, and we were greeted with the most warm smiling face and caring nature. We were shocked; you don’t get that service in Australia, well not with our previous doctor! Dr. Nikos felt like an uncle to us; we felt very comfortable, and within a few months, we were on our way to Athens. Dr. Nikos organized everything you need, medication to take prior, accommodation when we landed, and also a driver to pick us up from the airport. The clinic is beautiful; I loved looking at all the babies on the wall; it gave me hope my baby could be next.

Dr. Nikos and his amazing team at Embryoland go above and beyond to do everything they can to get you pregnant. The attention to detail and love they show, wanting the best for you, is outstanding. I felt so comfortable and looked after; I would leave the clinic and feel so relaxed and taken care of. It really helped with the whole procedure. Mind you, you're not on 50,000 medications; it’s quite simple and minimal, which made it even less stressful. Every day I would meet so many wonderful women in the same boat as I was, and they were all walking out pregnant; this doctor's success rates are through the roof. Finally, it was my day to go in and get the results, and I couldn’t believe it; I was pregnant. 18 out baby, no complications, and it’s a boy! I will be forever grateful to Dr. Nikos and the Team at Embryoland. We love you guys and can’t wait to come back to have another baby."

Even with voice communication, he is already trying to treat and heal you

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

When I first called the doctor, I was highly stunned.

I haven't paid any money yet, but, the doctor is already trying to treat you by voice over the phone. Every word he says gives you more confidence, soothes your anxiety, and allows you to avoid stress and get a nice night's sleep. Even with voice communication, he is already trying to treat and heal you.

Therefore, I believe that he is a very serious and responsible doctor.

Now I am still communicating with him. No matter whether I have the chance to follow him for treatment, I still think he is an excellent doctor by nature and at heart.

They are so caring, friendly and professional

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

Dr Kanakas and his team were amazing. They are so caring, friendly and professional. I have been to a very well-known clinic in London and they can not compare to the care you will get with Dr Kanakas. They are so positive and accommodating and explain all your options so well and are very thorough in checking that everything is timed perfectly. I have full confidence in them and wish I had visited Embryoland and Dr kanakas sooner. They have a very high success rate too. Good luck

Always go above and beyond to take care of those who travel from all over the globe to see him

5 50 IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation • Paid: 10000 €

IVF at Embryoland with donor cells (all the way from Australia) is one of the best decisions my partner and I have ever made. In fact, we wish we’d done it earlier. After 5 failed attempts in Adelaide and Melbourne including 2 miscarriages, we felt we wasted a lot of money and emotional energy trying new protocols that only resulted in disappointment.

Dr Nikos and his team are friendly, caring, and open. They’re also very responsive via email and Whatsapp within hours or days, unlike weeks of waiting from other IVF clinics in Europe. They genuinely treat it as their mission to get you pregnant and always go above and beyond to take care of those who travel from all over the globe to see him. His personality is a breath of fresh air and when it’s your turn to see him, he gives you all the time and answers in the world.

After one trip to Embryoland, we are now 13 weeks pregnant with twins and over the moon. To anyone open to using donor cells, don’t wait. Just fly there and he’ll help you.

Definitely worth the trip

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

Highly recommend Dr. Nikos and his team at Embryoland. After 10 failed attempts in Australia and too much money lost I made my way to Athens to see Dr. Nikos and his team.

I never once fell pregnant during my treatment in Australia. One treatment at Embryoland and I’m now just over 8 weeks pregnant. Definitely worth the trip, even during COVID. Thank you Embryoland.

I am even open to talking to anyone about my experience

IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation • Paid: 4000 €

He is such an amazing doctor with the kindest heart. I have never met a doctor that cares as much as him. I had 2 failed IVF transfers in Texas so I decided to go oversees and came across Dr. Nikos. My first impression of him was "WOW, this Doctor just called me at 10 pm his time to talk to me" and the next 3 days we booked a flight to Athens. We did a retrieval and embryo transfer with him and it was the best experience. When we found out we were pregnant, he was so excited for us and it seemed like a miracle. He still keeps in touch with me and checks my progress. I am so happy and wanted to write this review bc I know the struggle of not being able to conceive and the exhausting process and costs were draining. I am even open to talking to anyone about my experience- that is how happy I am with Embryoland.

They really go above and beyond for you and you feel like part of their family

5 50 IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

I had IVF treatment with donor egg and donor sperm at Embryoland in November 2019 and I could not have been happier. After years of unsuccessful IVF cycles, I fell pregnant on the first try at Embryoland and now I have a beautiful 4 month old daughter! Dr Nikos Kanakas and his staff are fantastic! I felt welcomed and cared for from my first interaction with them. They are very professional and very caring. They really go above and beyond for you and you feel like part of their family. Dr Nikos is amazing! He regularly communicated with me personally and even introduced me to other people in the waiting room! It is a very friendly environment. I can’t recommend Embryoland highly enough. Don’t hesitate to contact them. You will be so glad you did!

Who imitate his values and high standards of customer service, always going the extra mile

5 50 IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

After two failed IVF attempts, when it comes to parents dreams of having children the term miracle is loosely used. When it comes to Embryoland that is exactly what they perform and they are the best bar none. Dr Nikos is very attentive. He even called us to book our first appointment and was with us throughout our journey, providing valuable advice and guidance. Both his knowledge and expertise are immense. He is supported by a very competent and friendly team. Who imitate his values and high standards of customer service, always going the extra mile. We now look forward to meeting our baby and would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Nikos and his team. He is simply the best.

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

Thank you Dr. Nikos Κanakas.
The experience in Greece was really good. The great energy of Dr. Kanakas brings you hope and happiness.

I tried many times the pregnancy in Royal Women Hospital in Melbourne without success and without much hope. After my first try with Dr. Kanakas, I'm pregnant 8 weeks now.

The doctor talks you through the whole procedure

5 50 IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

I had the most incredible experience with my IVF journey with Dr Nick at Embryoland. My partner and I went in November 2017. We have been trying for 13 years went through every fertility test there was in London UK. No one could explain why I couldn't fall pregnant. I found Dr Nikos Kanakas online I didn't search for long, to be honest, we made a decision within 5 mins just from his picture LoL. We knew he was the one, "the miracle man", he had a face we wanted to go see. Well within 20 mins we had emailed him and he had set up a Skype call. The ball was rolling, we have never got this far, even thinking it could happen, we could finally have the family we have always wanted!

After the most reassuring conversation, not like one of them stressful Doctors appointments, your waiting for. It was so relaxed he asked us for our basic medical history and there were some tests we had to do over here in the UK. Seamen test, both of us had to have Sexual Health checks, blood tests etc. Send the results to him so he can see his end whats up and work out a plan to increase your chances. He is so honest and made us feel like he had got this in his hands.

We booked in for the following month, he worked out what medication I need, when to be out there and we were off!!
A week later the medication arrived. I did my injections at home for 3 days, then the 4th day he wanted to see us in the clinic in Greece. We stayed in an air B&B, 5 mins from the clinic for £15 a night. You don't need a fancy hotel you just want your own space when your doped up on hormones. The food was great we had a patisserie shop next to us, lots of restaurants and take away shops that are so cheap. All the fresh food helps so much when you're going through this, you need all the nutrients u can get! Next thing you know were at the clinic it's all happening so fast. We were met by the lovely ladies at reception one girl Maria who did all my injections and looked after me, I love her shes so nice they all make you feel so relaxed. It is more like a loving family than a Doctors office, they want it to work for you just as much as you are praying it does.

The Clinic is spotless and is on 2 floors. Your consultation is on the top floor and the surgery is below. We had our 1st appointment with Dr Nick, went into his room he gave us a big hug and got down to it. I had a Doppler inserted and it showed up on a screen exactly why I couldn't get pregnant. 13 years of not knowing all the investigations, I had been told its unexplained. The real reason why I could not fall pregnant was that I had a Hydrosalpinx. He told me in 10 mins what "Fertility Specialist" could not explain for 10 years. I couldn't believe it when I had my appendix out when I was 13 the surgeon butchered me thank you NHS. This is why I never bothered trying the free fertility over here in the UK. I believe they fail people on purpose. I didn't even wanna put myself through it, thank God we found Dr Nick!

So after that consultation, he was like yes I can do this, we'll make it happen and he did! We stayed for 10 days and did a 3-day transfer. During that time we saw Athens, popped in and out of the clinic for the injections and they monitor you because you do feel shitty. All hormones up, they take blood on site so they know exactly how your ovaries are doing. Once the eggs get to where he wants them, they book you in and your eggs are harvested. Your put to sleep and you wake up with period feeling pains. It is nothing us women haven't dealt with before. The pain is totally bearable but you do just wanna go back to bed to rest after 3 days your back in clinic. You can do a 5-day transfer that's more likely to take. So I recommend that in hindsight. I did not do my research about that, it increases your chances a lot so stay longer ladies. Not that a 3-day won't work because of look at me!

For extra peace of mind stay longer, It will increase your chances. So finally 3 days pass, the day comes when 2 eggs get put back in. It is so exciting you gotta stay positive don't let any negative thoughts come in, stay in the baby vibe yours in good hands. You go into surgery there's a huge TV screen on the wall and you can see your eggs going into your womb. They're like little balls of light it is incredible. Dr Nick talks you through the whole procedure it does not take long at all. You see your little babies being placed into there. Time to go home and all you feel is relived in a way that this parts over but no one tells you about the 2-week wait. The wait you have to go through before you find out if it worked. We flew home the same day we should have stayed longer really as you just want to rest but I was scared to pee in case they fell out. We got home and time feels like it just stops. During the 2 week wait, I just rested and stayed positive. I couldn't wait so I did a test early and it was negative. I felt a bit defeated but my husbands said to try again when you were meant to take the test. I couldn't wait because I'm so impatient I got a negative reading.

On the 11th December at 11.11am, I did the test and it was positive. First positive test I've ever had in my life! To see it say 1-2 weeks pregnant my heart dropped, I froze and just wanted to tell everyone. We phoned Dr Nick straight away, the excitement we got from him and the girls at clinic was overwhelming. We can't thank them enough! We are so happy I'm 23 weeks now with a little girl due in August. The time is going so fast, she is perfectly healthy all tests come back positive. Embryoland, Dr Nick and the girls we love you so much, can't wait to come out and visit soon as she's here. Miracles do happen and sometimes you have to go with your gut. I'm sitting here now being kicked in the ribs by little twinkle toes feeling blessed. Thank you so much again and make the call, if u want a baby, call him if he can make it happen believe me he will! Good luck, God bless Sophie & Sam!

He is truly amazing, positive and always available to talk

IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

We are so grateful to Dr. Nikos Κanakas and the best team of Embryoland IVF Center Athens, for making us the happiest parents in the world! We have previously had IVF treatments in Australia unsuccessfully, which we found impersonal, expensive and dreadfully disappointing.

I was pregnant with our first round of IVF and our beautiful baby girl is now 2 months old. Dr. Nikos is truly amazing, positive and always available to talk with you. Thank so so much!!

Were now the very lucky parents of twin babies

4.5 50 IVF with Donor Eggs • Paid: 7000 €

My husband and I were treated by Dr. Nikos and received IVF with a donor egg in November 2017. Were now the very lucky parents of twin babies!

We were able to complete all pre-treatment meds and prep from our home outside of Greece and spent 10 days in Athens to receive the IVF treatment itself.

The clinic offers a very fair price for the treatment and every Euro was worth it!

We cannot recommend Dr. Nikos highly enough. From the first moment we spoke to him on Skype we knew this was the clinic we wanted to use. His knowledge and compassion made him the perfect consultant for us at this stressful time.

We were lucky enough to fall pregnant from our first cycle of IVF and this resulted in twins for us, born in July. We can never thank Dr. Nikos enough for what he did for us. When we visited Athens for our treatment he took so much time with us to answer our questions and provide advice.

We know he was willing our treatment to be a success as much as we were and we came away feeling like we were all on the same team. When I shared the good news with Dr. Nikos that the babies were born healthy and well his response was 'we did it!'. That sums him up for us - we weren't on our own in this and we trusted he would do all he could to make this treatment a success.

Even though we were not from Greece, with Dr. Nikos' experience all the preparation and tests we needed to complete overseas were managed easily and clearly. The whole process ran so smoothly for us. The team is easily contactable and it is a very professionally ran clinic.
