A Stevo

Avoid at all opportunity. We started our process through a GP referal. Initially the first meeting went well and that's about the only positive thing I can write. I paid £60 for blood tests doing which were then lost in transit. I was made to feel like they were doing me a favour by doing the bloods again free of charge!!!!! I was constantly having to chase them for appointments and updates. I was told by the rudest registra I had no chance of a successful pregnancy but I did not have a problem getting pregnant and that was their job done, an IVF booklet was thrown at me to read when I questioned this with him. It turned out this was not correct information and albeit I would be high risk there was every chance of me having a successful pregnancy with regular checks. The same registrar contacted my partner and told him he has cystic fibrosis and would be referred to the specialists to be seen and spoken to further about this. Turns out this was also incorrect and he had the gene only. Two totally different things. Very good at giving people results without the full results being available. They have messed us around for a year now and despite putting in writing to us that we qualify for NHS funding months down the line when we were ready to start the treatment we have been told we don't and are expected to find £8000 with no payment plan option to proceed, giving us no time to find the money and being the only time actual costing has been spoken abiut. the reason our funding was refused is because our initial application forms have different addresses on them and for that reason we don't qualify. Not once throught this whole shambles have our addresses been questioned or we would have rectified this a year ago when we started this process. Lucky for us due to their incompetence throughout all this we havent actually started any treatment as I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them and reading other reviews looks like we were right given that they have inserted someone else's eggs into a couple previously. Absolute appalling customer service, rude incompetent staff who are incapable of ringing patients back even when promised. We will be going elsewhere wouldn't spend another penny with this lot. This process is stressful enough you shouldn't have to experience this along side it. Stay clear and give yourself a chance by choosing a competent clinic to help you.

Brilliant experience all staff made me feel very relaxed! I was nervous after having a bad experience at a clinic in Manchester. Will definitely recommend them! Thank you

Joanne Turner

I arrived at the unit feeling very apprehensive, however every member of staff was friendly, helpful and very caring. My procedure was painless and the care afterwards was excellent. Thank you for everything you do.

Amanda

Had successful treatment (5 rounds of ICSI over 2 years) with this clinic. So grateful for our beautiful boy. Prices are clear and upfront (on their website) and the staff are helpful and friendly. Your personalised treatment diary ensures you know all of the stages. They also allow you to pay via a payment package offered by a third party to keep costs down (we used Access Fertility). Consultants are knowledgeable and willing to discuss alternative approaches if treatment repeatedly fails. They try to be realistic with you as IVF isn’t guaranteed to succeed. Looking forward to hopefully using them in the future to give our son a sibling.

It took 3 month for my gp referral to seacroft hospital, they said I can get one round free ivf. Then we booked an appointment went to hospital, first the nurse asked us to fill up all the forms, and still said we can get one round free. But after we paid £70 for amh blood test, another lady came out said we can’t get free round, because I didn’t hold uk passport. But my husband is British, and we both paid tax here. So they canceled us free ivf with this reason. Then my gp written a letter to ask what was going on. But their is no other further information from the hospital. So I tried to go oversea to do private ivf. Then the clinic oversea asked us to take ultrasound scan and other blood test. I booked the private 2minutes baseline ultrasound scan paid £200 at seacroft. I paid at a private room, that lady works at there was very rude, when I asked her to give me a copy of result. She just gave me a dirty look. then gave me one application to fill up the form to ask results, this form it said can up to 30 days to get results. I paid bloody £200, then I have to wait 30 days, waste my time and money. They just no helpful at all. and people work at there even don’t know who can get free ivf?? They gave you a hope and destroy it. When you told them you want the scan report to go to oversea clinic, they just make it most difficult for you. I regretted not go to any other hospital to do this scan. The most rude and unreasonable hospital ever. I’ll never go back to there again.

Very helpful staff from Drs, nurses and admin. They provided us with an excellent service. We are very grateful.

Pina Patel

Doctors are absolutely helpful and polite but when speaking to the reception/admin staff they are very rude and don’t explain things properly and when you ask they jump down your throat and say you need to be patient at a time like this when you have to have treatment they should be a bit more caring and empathetic not give you a lecture for calling just to ask about an update.

Paulina Spyra

All very nice, helpful and involved!!!! I Thank you with all my heart for help and patience!!!!

stuart jenkins

Doctors are good, other staff very unhelpful, they do not care about anything very rude and obnoxious.

Emma Naidoo

We really appreciate all of the support we received at the Leicester royal fertility clinic. We had a positive result with our first IVF cycle and it was much easier than we had anticipated. All of the staff were absolutely amazing!! Could not fault them.

Amazing place my little girl us now 4 makes dreams come true

Sophie Leerham

Great clinic, can recommend it to everybody!

MsLee English

Professional to the last. The support and care we received was second to none. Our journey was long, but successful twice, what more could we ask? We are grateful for their expertise and we pray that all others who use them have a happy outcome. From the first moments on the phone with Sarah, to counselling, nursing, embryology and of course the unforgettable Dr Ashur, we have been treated with kindness and realism. We were never misled about the challenges. Never given false hope. We were simply given the facts. If you are in the unfortunate position to need their help, they will do all they can to provide it. There are no guarantees and they won't give you any, but our experience is that they will do their best. We wish them and anyone who chooses them blessings on their journey.

Justine Matchett

We had a fantastic experience which over the course of a number of IVF cycles resulted in two beautiful girls. The process was no more costly than anywhere else and the service and staff were exceptional. We would not hesitate to recommend the clinic.

I went here few weeks ago and was so disappointed we paid over £6000 for doner eggs. I had two embryos emplaned in me but it never worked. We was told they would freeze the remaining 6 but somehow they couldn’t freeze them I never had an explanation. I want a baby so bad but I will have to try and find that money again to pay. 😢

Kasia Sroka

Money grabbers! I brought all my test results from my previous doctor as all test been done recently and also to avoid to pay again for something what has been done already. So I showed all the results to the doctor and he said to me that I have to do all tests again here at London Clinic, what a joke! I told him that he has ALL RESULTS ON FRONT OF HIM ON HIS DESK!!!! And he said that he know but I have to do it again here…. It’s a joke NOT clinic. Instead of wasting your time by going there o talk to them you might just stand on front of the wall and talk to the wall, believe me you will get exactly the same results.

Robert Lewis

It started off well - but when it came to getting the results of our blood test back (which cost more than £1,200), we received zero communication for months, no e-mails/calls/post, or indeed anything, and had to chase things up to get to the bottom of the missing results ourselves. We were left sorely disappointed and decided to go elsewhere in the end as we feel they cannot be trusted to handle these types of personal issues competently. Speaking purely from my own experience, I would exercise caution here.

Anastasia Topi

Fantastic place and staff. My experience there was the best. I got pregnant at my first try by just using one embryo! I would highly recommend LWC Cardiff.

Rhi Drew

Awful place. I'm sure that your experience may be better if you're a paying customer, but if you're a donor don't expect a decent experience. I was led to believe that the risks in being a donor were slim, I was never told that because of my age or body weight I was a high risk. I ended up with moderate over-stimulated ovaries and am still suffering the consequences. It was never about financial compensation for me, it was always about helping and so had I been told that I was more at risk because of my age I would have waited until I was 30. I didn't google the risks because everyone knows that you shouldn't google medical things. Foolishly, I trusted them. This was a fault on my part, and it's a mistake I will not make again. I was hospitalised as a result of my donation. I am still not out of the woods. I was supposed to have a check up with the clinic but I rang to cancel as I was very unwell. No one answered so I left a voicemail. To date, no one has returned my call. Before the clinic had my eggs if I left a voicemail my call was returned the same day. Now they have my eggs, they couldn't care less. I've given up on ever hearing from them as they simply do not care. If you are going to donate, I would suggest you at least wait until you're 30 and I would suggest you discuss it with an NHS doctor who will give you all of the facts. Don't trust a private clinic that is going to financially benefit from your donation, because chances are they will play down the risks as they did with me. If anything my experience is confirmation that the NHS should remain as it is, and not become privatised. If it were not for the NHS picking up the pieces of this clinic's failings, I dread to think what might have happened.

Thank you to Dr Marie Wren and the team for all you have done in making it happen, more than once! Your approach, values and caution in safety and well-being is how you differ. It is disappointing to read some emotionally charged reviews though it is a stressful time for most. The doctors/consultants are professionals, and determined in helping you cross the line. What more do you want?! prices are clear and are in line with others. You go in regularly for tests so of course you see a spectrum of staff members but the doctors are continuously working behind the scenes so please don’t knock them. And the waiting time is not long. May be if you miss your slot you will have to wait to be seen until another becomes available. There is no point going through all this if you can not sit down, and are not in the right mindset. Friends who have not reviewed have been extremely happy with their experiences at The Lister. Don’t hesitate to ask them questions, try to be positive, confident and stay calm! Good luck to all

vulliez emmanuelle

After 5 years of unsuccessful IVF attempts in France, we moved to London and registered with the Lister Clinic 18 months ago. We are now expecting a baby girl for end of April! We cannot praise enough the quality of the clinic and its great staff. The medical staff is highly skilled, very human and shows a lot of empathy. All the explanations provided were always clear, we felt very well supported every step of the way. The process is structured and organised and it is reassuring to see that you are being very well taken care of. All in all, we cannot think of a better team to have accompanied us for such an emotionally and sometimes physically exhausting journey!

Jo Tucka

The clinic is very good. The main advantage of it is the fact that all doctors work together as a team. As a results patients are seen when it is best for them (unlike in other clinics -some of which put patients on the pill to regulate period to fit their schedule). As a results I have seen more than one doctor but it was better as I got amazing results with 13 eggs frozen (I am almost 37). Dr Wren worked very hard with the whole team to get the max number of eggs. All doctors and nurses are highly regarded and are very approachable. Lister have latest equipment. I have friends who have babies using Lister. See my IG jojostyle28 for further details.I am going back in Feb for the next round

polly webb

Do not use this clinic. Their patient care is below substandard - you see a different each appointment so there is absolutely no point in choosing your doctor. Dr Wren was appalling, the only notes she wrote after our first 1 hour meeting was that my partner didn't want children (nothing about my medical history!!) and the 24 hour helpline doctor refused to advise me on how to administer the drugs as she was watching television at home and insisted that I went the the Lister Clinic at 1 in the morning and that I should to find a random on duty nurse in the clinic to help me. When I registered a formal complaint regarding this - the only response the hospital had was that the member of staff was away at present so they could not comment! I could write a few more paragraphs regarding failure in duty with regards to patient care and will do so when I have more time as it is important that others know what care they will be provided at this clinic who markets themselves as a leader in the industry. I refused to pay the last part of my bill, not to try and 'save' some money but purely out of principle as I strongly believed they were negligent in their duty of care. You go to this clinic to get the expertise but it is simply not provided. My strong advice is avoid this clinic, avoid Dr Wren and go to a smaller outfit where you see the same doctor at every appointment and the doctors actually do their best to ensure your success rather than a new doctor justs reads your notes for 1 minute and then advises on change of prescription of drugs Pls feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss my experience at the Lister hospital. NB the review from K within the reviews is clearly written by someone at the hospital as much of what they have written is simply not true. I would advise anyone looking at using this clinic to look at the negative reviews not the positive.

Irish Girl

I cannot thank the team at the Lister enough. We came here after three failed cycles of ICSI and were devastated and heartbroken as we were (relatively) young a more positive prognosis had been expected when we began. The Lister was recommended to me by a friend of a friend who had her baby with them and they too had been up against it. She spoke of the compassion she experienced with Dr. Wren and I have to say I couldn't agree more. I work in health and am not afraid to speak up if I am not happy. I was also a bit stressed at the idea of going abroad. The nursing staff and embryology were outstanding. The level of clinical care is excellent and they actually made it easier than in my home country extending warmth, efficiency and flexibility explaining complex instructions by speaker phone, if I couldn't make the call in working hours they rang back and no matter how busy they were I knew they would call. It's a service I could place my trust in. The team couldn't work harder on your behalf but hold a space for empathy but with a calm equanimity. Surgically, there was no comparison - I used to walk home after egg collection - a good half hour walk whereas previously I'd have been hobbling for a couple of days. We, against all odds had our twin girls with Dr. Wren and the team. On cycles where it hadn't worked as expected the embryology were 'don't give up hope'. That and their highly professional attitude helps more than anything they will every know. It hadn't been my experience elsewhere and we sought several second opinions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Wren and the team and have done so. The cost of fertility are shocking but this clinic was no more expensive than anywhere else we had been or looked at. We were stretched and with time and money you have to make careful choices and I am so glad we went to the Lister. I had no issue with cover on the occasion where it arose but have to say Dr. Wren is second to none - and I say that despite having had difficult conversations with her, she remained open and every now and again I get an email enquiring after the girls and wishing us luck (we are not done yet I hope... and I wouldn't go anywhere else) And the best of luck to anyone reading this..

Please do not donate or purchase genetic material from here - The care for the donors is absolutely abismal. I donated three years ago and still no one will tell me if there has been a result. They forget that donors are real people and that our DNA actually means something to us. To them it's just a product that they pretty much manipulate out of you through lip service and smiles. How that all changes once they get what they want.

Emily W

If I could give no stars I would - this one star is only dedicated to their receptionists - the only people there that greeted us with a smile. I work with patients myself daily and can't believe the doctors chair side manner... let's start at the beginning, 1) My partner requested a woman for the examination, we booked this months in advance after attending the seminar. We travelled from Dorset to stay in London to have the blood tests on the Wednesday and then the fertility test on the Saturday. We were told on the last day, just before the examination, that my partner couldn't have a female doctor (even though it was offered) and she would have to sign a form to say she is happy with a male or we would need to rebook - thus resulting in an absolutely wasted journey and not to mention the costs for staying and getting to London - all perfectly avoided if they had just said when we booked the appointment that there were just male doctors that day (something we try and offer our patients in the surgery I work in) 2) Being called in by the nurse prior to seeing the doctor. She seemed extremely rushed, told us she was faster at writing by hand on a scrap notepad (with multiple other patients information on) rather than type on the computer - clearly GDPR regulations are not a priority in the London women's clinic. She proceeded to mix me and my partner up by getting our names wrong... she had our medical histories AND driving licences. This appointment cost us £500 - I never want to feel rushed if I have spent this much for a consultation. Both myself and my partner explained we wanted to get information on the stage of our fertility and being both in our 20's we were interested in donating as well as freezing eggs. 3) He called us in and went through our medical histories, getting through my partners fine, when we told him we want to find out our fertility and then see our options, he became aloof as if, if we aren't taking up any treatment, why are we wasting his time. 4) My medical history, well, all I can say is one word, tact, not hard. That medical degree and no tact!?! He just went on about my weight - I would understand if I was 25 stone + but I'm not. Also I was not seeking to have treatment done that day, I went on to explain that I am on a weight loss program and actually have lost some weight. Regardless of this, he then proceeded to say 'You won't get away with this (being overweight) forever'. Can we just take a second to take that in. This man is about to do an internal examination on me and he won't stop going on about my weight. The clinic won't treat anyone over a 30 BMI (not stated at all by any staff at the seminar prior to our visit). I said that as we are just looking for information would it be worth having the examination? (seeing as he seemed so disgusted with my weight). He said I should still have the examination in case he found anything wrong. Needless to say, I felt mortified, I get that sometimes we have to tell patients about their weight, smoking or drug habits - funnily enough I have to do it at work, but I do it with tact, no judgement or disgust, just tact. 5) The examination - BE AWARE the rooms have the examination foot of the bed FACING the door to the waiting room... yep... you have to undress there, get on the bed, legs akimbo facing the door. The doctor entered to do my partners examination - he proceeded to touch the equipment that would actually be going inside my partner with no gloves - cross infection fail! and then after getting it ready he gloved up and pushed the glove down on one hand un-gloved (renders the sterile glove rather moot) - cross infection fail again. He was extremely rough with us both, leaving us with tears running down our face without so much of a 'are you okay?'. I've had internal examinations before and never felt so bruised. Seeing him do that to my partner made me feel sick to my stomach. Conclusion: DON'T BE SEEN HERE. Make sure your BMI is under 30. They just care about money.

Catherine Wilkinson

The seminars at the London Women's Clinic are amazing! they made me feel at ease, gave very detailed advice on investigations and treatment options. There was also a helpful Q&A session which put us all at ease. I would definitely recommend attending!

Elena B

The payment was so unclear. It was given by the nurse on a piece of paper and she kept adding and deleting costs so both of us got very confused. Although we paid £500 for the initial consultation/tests, I decided not to proceed with this place last year. I felt that they were taking advantage of the patients (although you would be very surprised by their seminars, they do them very well).

Vicki Mercer

We started our IVF process through the new clinic in Nuffield Hospital, Brentwood. Then had the procedures done at Harley street. Amazing service currently 5 months pregnant on our first attempt.
