The best if clinic in Athens and Greece !! We had IVF at Embio after 5 years of miscarriages and failed fertility treatments in the UK. We used a donor egg & my husband’s sperm. We had one round of IVF in September 2022 and our son was born in May 2023. I cannot recommend the clinic more, I’m so grateful for everything they have done for us, they made me a mummy, they made my husband a daddy and they did it with such care and attention. It felt like such a different experience from previous rounds from the outset. In the U.K. I found they would wait for rounds to fail before trying something else, maybe I might have natural killer cells, an infection, thin lining – it felt like such a battle. What I love about Embio and Dr Paraschos is they addressed every possible scenario before we had transfer. I am so happy to say that our baby is so beautiful!!! Our boy is perfect, everything I dreamed of for so many years. He’s beautiful and strong and kind and funny and caring. We are just about to embark on another donor egg round of IVF with Embio to hopefully have another and I’m so grateful for the love and care Embio have shown us. I could not say enough good things about the clinic, Dr Paraschos most importantly the embryologists the midwife’s, the receptionists – everyone. If you are considering ivf with or without using a donor I’d recommend Embio and Dr Paraschos wholeheartedly. These guys are amazing, follow their advice and recommendations – give yourself the best chance. I wish you well on your journey – it really is possible for dreams to come true!! Thank you Dr Paraschos we love you !!!
This place was amazing. Sevi was available to answer questions 24/7… and Dr. Paraschos was such a gentleman and kind soul.
Irrespective of the result… we are so happy. This place is great.
Thank you!
PS. My cousin who is a paediatrician in Greece said the emBIO is well known and a great place. And her words were true.
I’m a 41 year old female who has only ever had chemical pregnancies. I started attending a UK IVF clinic until I was told they would have to transfer me to another clinic as they did not have enough staff to operate so I started googling IVF clinics within Europe and came across EmBio Clinic, Athens. From the moment I sent a message and was initially contacted by Konstantinos (who became my designated co ordinator) I felt at home, I was given more than enough information and took the decision to travel to Athens on my own to do IVF with EmBio using donor sperm (from EmBio’s clinic). Before arriving in Athens, any questions I had were answered promptly by Konstantinos via WhatsApp, I was never left with more questions. From my first in person appointment, I felt comfortable, was always given more than enough answers to ALL my questions and meeting Dr. Thanos on each visit was just amazing. This clinic really does take care of their patients and have tailored care plans for each individual person’s needs. The team are friendly and amazing, extremely welcoming. I returned home from my treatment this weekend just awaiting my positive test. Will update later! Thank you so much to Konstantinos and Dr. Thanos Paraschos and the rest of the team at EmBio! I can never thank you enough! Just waiting on that positive test (test day tomorrow!!) hopefully see you all in 2-3 years for another transfer (have another 9 frozen embryos in storage!!) thank you all! You are all angels giving people as much baby dust as you can….. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
From the moment with Dr Paraschos, we felt comfortable and confident Embio was the clinic for us. Even in that initial session, we learned so much, and so many questions were answered that local clinics weren’t able to. Everyone in the UK has always been so negative, but with Embio, the atmosphere is so positive, welcoming, and supportive. Going abroad for treatment can be a little daunting, and getting flights to align with dates and cycles was tricky but worth the effort. We squeezed in a family holiday around treatment, and I think that was the magic ingredient as 2 weeks later, I had a positive test from our first attempt. We are very happy with everything and would definitely recommend it. Thank you Dr Paraschos and Sevi!
Hi, As a couple we cannot put into words the extreme gratitude we have towards Dr Paraschos and all the team at Embio. They just took us both under there wing and we were treated with such dignity, care and kindness during our journey. They are so helpful and professional, and made every step so straight forward and stress free. Dr Paraschos and team were always very helpful and reassuring when contacted. We had attended other clinics and there was just no comparison. We found Embio outstanding. We welcomed into the world out little baby girl 2 months ago. And without the lovely Penny and her team we would not have our little miracle by our side.
George and Georgia!!
Thanks you Dr Paraschos!!!
Thank you Dr Paraschos a d Embio team:

We would like to express our gratitude to all of the Embio staff a d Dr Paraschos who were so helpful with everything from help with travel arrangements, supplying a pick up and drop off to the airport and the emotional support all through out the process. We have a any boy thank to you all
After being told from well-known fertility clinics that doing fertility treatments wouldn’t be worth their time or my money, a friend introduced me to Dr Paraschos and Embio Clinic in Athens. I was sceptical but wanted to learn more about Embio. While I was learning the system, I enjoyed discovering more about how my body worked witjbovf and felt secure and uplifted by Dr Paraschos. After meeting with Dr. Paraschos and Aggeliki, my coordinator and determining a course of action, I was pregnant the following cycle and now have a beautiful, healthy daughter! It pays to understand your body, to have faith in God’s design, and to have a physician who believes that anything is possible.
Thank you Dr Paraschos for your help and support !!!
I came to Embio on the recommendation of the acupuncturist I was attending in England. I had decided to go on my own to become a Mum and had 2 failed rounds of IVF with a UK clinic. I was totally disillusioned by the process and the cost of it was overwhelming.
Every single time I attended Embio I got the same feeling as soon as I walked in the door. The staff are all so welcoming. You feel like they care about you, the person, and not about what you represent from a financial perspective. Sadly, that’s not how I felt about the clinic I had been with in England.
Dr Paraschos was always so caring, so honest, so available whenever I had questions or concerns. I felt the team really looked at me as a unique case and not ‘one option fits all’.
I finally welcomed my son this January. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and it is all down to Dr Paraschos and the team at Embio. I cannot articulate my gratitude to them. It was a very long, difficult journey for me but I got there! I cannot recommend this clinic enough. Yes, it’s hard to travel last minute at times and it is tough to be away at times but if you want something badly enough you do whatever it takes to get there.
Thank you Dr Paraschos and Anna and a special thank you to Thalia!!! ❤️
Thank you all team for this journey especially Dr Thanos Parashos and ivf coordinator Sevi! You love you all!
Thank you Dr Praschos and Embio team i got pregnamt withe the first IVF attempt with twins !!
