Hi

I'm hoping to start my IVF journey soon but I am unsure of where to start in Dubai. Please can anyone recommend any clinics? I've heard the Fakih Clinic name a lot but I'd like to hear of any others?

Many thanks in advance x

Hi H2015, I had my first ICSI with Bourn Hall and although everything seemed alright at the moment (not very keen of Dr. Diana, as she seemed to be making numbers more than dealing with people, but I thought it was just me being anxious) then I realised the moment they get you pregnant, they kind of forget about you. I had a miscarriage that first time. This summer we went with Dr. Pankaj at Conceive after checking with Dr. Fakih. At Fakih's I've witnessed the rudest costumer service ever (there was this lady at the reception complaining about a poor woman on the phone asking about her embryos and making fun of her in front of everyone!!!). Overall, the experience at Conceive has been fine. But if you go there I'd definitely advise you to stick to Dr. Pankaj himself if you go to their clinic in JLT or Dr. Ruma (not sure of the spelling) if you go to Sharjah. There is this other doctor who made two big mistakes with me, so I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. I'm on my 10th week now and pregnant with twins. And kind of anxious about how things will develop. Conceive clinics are nothing fancy, specially the one in Sharjah, but they do the job. Treatment is quite pricey, so if you decide to pay them a visit, ask about the price for every single thing. They have a price list with ivf costing AED19.000, but that's only the ivf itself. No transfer, no sedation, no medication... And check the price of the medicines outside. They are selling cyclogest more expensive than regular pharmacies (and believe me, you will need a lot of those). All the best! and let us now what you decide. :)

I did Ivf at fakih with dr roya. It all went great..now 6months pregnant with twins (scary and anxious at same time). I also went to dr Pankaj at JLT clinic as a first choice, but he was all over the place at our first consult, I didn't feel I was of much importance there. With my first consult at fakih dr Michael came in and was so confident that I would get pregnant in the first go..with that positivity I went with him. Yes expensive and specially during the first 12 weeks when you go for scans and if it's twins they charge you double! 2 issues I had - I overstimulated (Ohss). After the egg retrieval I didn't get much updates till the day I went in for embryo transfer. We only wanted to transfer 1 as the complications of twins scared me..but felt so pressured in that operation kind of room - went for both! I wish there was more of discussion re. Embryo transfer, twins vs singleton pregnancies etc to make an efficient decision.. Anyway all done now! Good luck xx

I have been to both Fakih and to Bourn Hall and they both seem to have good reputations but I am sticking with Bourn Hall because they just seem more thorough and willing to look closely at my case. I had a consult at Fakih with a Dr varsha who didn't really seem to have much idea at all and just couldn't answer my questions. Didn't give me any confidence. I heard she used to work at Bourn Hall in India and in Dubai but was terminated by them. Can't say I'm surprised. I didn't think of Dr Pankaj though as I thought he was just in Sharjah. I hear he's nice. They all seem a bit pricey to me.

Hi H2015, I am just about to start my treatment at conceive. I have been for 2 consultations so far, and I am due to start with the injections later this month. So far they have been fantastic and really supportive. They have clinics in JLT and also Sharjah and you will always have the consultations with Dr. Pankaj himself. It is however a little bit pricey, but I am guessing all of the clinics here are pretty similar. I didnt do much shopping around as he came recommended by 3 different couples who all had success with him. Wishing you lots of luck :love:
