Conhecemos o Dr João no começo de 2024, após 2 anos e meio de uma longa espera para engravidar, cheia de frustrações. Desde o início sabíamos que não seria fácil, mas graças a Deus algumas amigas nos indicaram para conhecer o Dr João e a sua equipe, pois o tratamento ocorria todo no Centro de Fertilidade Saab aqui em Londrina, sem necessidade de qualquer deslocamento para outras cidades. Ficamos com muita esperança desde então.
Deus escreveu uma história muito linda para nós!! Colocou um anjo (Dr João Guilherme) com toda a sua equipe abençoada em nosso caminho justamente quando já pensávamos em desistir…
Começando pela estrutura da Clínica, que é espetacular, tem estacionamento, laboratório, onde todo o tratamento da fertilização ocorre. O atendimento e o acolhimento acontece desde as meninas da recepção, as enfermeiras, o Dr João e toda a equipe de geneticistas. Fizemos várias fertilizações in vitro, confiantes e esperançosos que o nosso tão sonhado positivo iria chegar e chegou!! Ouvimos os batimentos cardíacos do nosso milagre e a alegria e o choro demostravam a nossa felicidade!!

Nossa experiência com o SAAB Londrina foi excelente. Fomos muito bem recepcionados desde o início por toda a equipe. O dr João é extremamente competente, experiente, paciente e muito humano. Viemos de tratamentos anteriores frustrados, então chegamos com dúvidas e bastante ansiosos. Desde a primeira consulta, dr João nos passou confiança e acima de tudo esperança. Junto com o dr fomos perseverantes e hoje estamos esperando nosso presente de Deus, graças a todo o acompanhamento do dr João Guilherme, que foi instrumento de Deus nas nossas vidas!! Somos muito gratos por tudo o que fizeram pela gente. Indico a clínica e o trabalho do dr João de olhos fechados.

Por quase doze anos, vivemos a espera. Foi uma década de buscas incansáveis, de perguntas sem respostas e de um diagnóstico de endometriose que nos levou a duas cirurgias. Quando finalmente buscamos ajuda especializada, o mundo parou com a pandemia e, com ele, nossos planos. A incerteza e a frustração pareciam querer roubar o nosso sonho, mas o destino nos reservava algo especial. Este ano, decidimos abrir uma nova porta: a Clínica Saab. Lá, fomos acolhidos pelo Dr. João Guilherme, cuja atenção e clareza renovaram nossa esperança. Decidimos trilhar o caminho da FIV — um processo que, para nossa surpresa, foi leve, rápido e guiado por um cuidado extremo. E então, na nossa primeira tentativa, o milagre aconteceu. O visor não mentia: positivo! Naquele instante, nosso coração transbordou uma alegria impossível de descrever, uma mistura de gratidão e o alívio de quem finalmente encontrou o que tanto buscou. Nossa gratidão eterna, primeiramente a Deus, e ao Dr. João Guilherme e sua equipe impecável, que trabalham com uma dedicação e excelência que transformam vidas. Estamos vivendo a experiência mais linda de nossas trajetórias. Deus abençoe a todos vocês!"
