Scheduling and Follow‑up Gaps
Long intervals between appointments, delayed monitoring visits, and missed follow‑up calls are noted. Patients describe waiting up to 12 days without clinical contact during stimulation cycles, which undermines confidence in individualized care.

Muy especialmente, queremos destacar a la Dra. Moreno, cuya profesionalidad y sensibilidad nos han guiado en cada paso. Veníamos de otra clínica donde nuestras opciones eran mínimas, y gracias a su criterio, su calma y su manera tan clara de acompañarnos, el tratamiento ha salido bien a la primera. En cada visita nos hemos sentido escuchadas, respetadas y cuidadas de verdad, algo que marca una diferencia enorme en un proceso tan delicado.
Hoy estamos embarazadas y felices, y sabemos que gran parte de este logro se lo debemos a ella y al equipo que la rodea. En CIRH no solo cuidan la parte médica: cuidan a las personas.
Gracias de corazón,
Marta y Julieta

Sólo tengo palabras de agradecimiento.
Estoy muy contenta con el servicio, el personal, el trato, la confidencialidad, el asesoramiento, el acompañamiento, las pruebas diagnósticas, la educación sanitraria recibida, las instalaciones y la nueva ubicación de la Clínica CIRH en la Calle Balmes.
Ellos me han ayudado a conseguir uno de mis objetivos de vida.
Desde mi experiencia en primera persona quiero agradecer el trato, la atención, el asesoramiento, el tratamiento y el seguimiento de todo el personal de la clínica en especial a la Dra. Maite Castro. Por acompañarme, ayudarme y aclararme todas las dudas que me han ido surgiendo durante todo el proceso reproductivo.
Ha sido un camino duro pero a la vez bonito. Así es como estoy viviendo mi maternidad.
He conseguido estar embarazada tras un amplio recorrido.
En estos momentos estoy embarazada de 22 semanas y todo va genial.
Es un bebé genéticamente sano.
También quiero agradecer el trato que tuvo la enfermera Maite el día de la transferencia embrionaria porque sus palabras, el trato, el carisma y su acompañamiento fueron muy importantes para mí.
La animo a seguir por ese camino en su trabajo porque esta experiencia es un camino largo, frío, solitario, con mucha incertidumbre, lleno de dudas...
Ella me transmitió calidez, tranquilidad, ánimo, fuerza y confianza ya que ese día estaba muy nerviosa.
Me dijo unas palabras que jamás olvidaré: "Aquí tienes, esta es la primera foto de tu bebé".
Me quedé con eso y me aferré a sus palabras.
Eso me dió la fuerza y confianza para estar tranquila y pensar en positivo.
A las 2 semanas me dieron la magnífica noticia de que había funcionado el tratamiento y que la transferencia había sido un éxito. Estaba embarazada. Objetivo cumplido.
Animo a todas aquellas personas que quieran llevar a cabo su proyecto de vida y cumplir su sueño de ser padres. Solicitando asesoramiento y ayuda en la clínica.
Yo fui recomendada, asesorada y acompañada por una buena amiga que años antes ella también había solicitado ayuda en la clínica y su resutado fue, 2 hijos preciosos y sanos que nacieron en 2 etapas diferentes, ya que ella repitió la experiencia.
Estaba muy contenta y yo decidí probar suerte.
El resultado ha sido muy satisfactorio.
Gracias de todo corazón a todo el personal que trabaja y que se implica en la Clínica CIRH por hacer posible esta realidad y por ayudar a tantas personas que se encuentran en mi misma situación o en otras y que de manera natural no pueden cumplir su deseo de formar una familia.
Excelente trabajo de todo el equipo desde los ginecólogos, embriólogos, genétistas, biólogos, enfermeras, auxiliares, celadores, técnicos de laboratorio, psicólogos, administrativas, señoras de la limpieza, ... gracias por hacer posible que todo funcione genial en la Clínica.
Un fuerte abrazo a todos por realizar vuestro trabajo con tanta excelencia.
Irene.
