  • warning
    1. Rude and Unempathetic Staff
    Multiple accounts describe Dr. Miguel Ángel Barber and certain reception personnel as harsh, dismissive, and lacking empathy, leading to heightened anxiety, feelings of humiliation, and a loss of trust in the clinic’s care.
  • warning
    2. Chaotic Appointment Management
    Patients repeatedly experience long waiting periods, last‑minute cancellations, incorrect scheduling, and uncommunicated changes, often requiring multiple trips to the clinic and causing significant inconvenience during pregnancy.
  • warning
    3. Poor Phone and Email Accessibility
    The clinic’s contact lines are frequently unavailable; calls are dropped, emails go unanswered, and the external Vithas switchboard provides limited support, leaving patients unable to obtain timely information or urgent assistance.

    4. Inadequate Emergency Service
    Emergency visits are reported as being ignored or redirected, with patients waiting for hours without medical evaluation, and occasional absence of on‑site doctors, compromising urgent care for pregnant women.

The IVF clinic has long wait times, poor reception, and communication. The receptionists take 20 minutes to check in, and the waiting room is underutilized. This caused unnecessary delays for the reviewer.

The problem with the building and its delays is definitely that they have receptionists who take 20 minutes per person to get an appointment that's already been booked for a while. I spend half an hou…
