Scrivo volentieri questa recensione da 5 stelle. Non è mai facile accettare di iniziare un percorso di PMA, ma nel tempo è diventato viaggio meraviglioso grazie ALL'ISTITUTO MARQUES. Mi era stata consigliata questa clinica da un'amica, sono entrata in punta di piedi con tutti i timori possibili, POI, siamo stati accompagnati per mano, passo dopo passo, da questi professionisti che ci hanno assistito a 360°, senza mai mancare in nulla,i timori sono così svaniti. Un plauso particolare al dott. Parastie per la sua professionalità e accoglienza, il suo sorriso è sempre stato fonte di forza e coraggio a proseguire. Oggi scrivo questo mentre la mia bambina dorme fra le mie braccia. Grazie per cui al dott. Parastie e a tutta la sua equipe, nessuno escluso. Grazie anche al personale in accoglienza che non ci ha mai fatto mancare un sorriso o un'attenzione. Consiglio vivamente l'istituto marques che permette di avere quella magnifica possibilità di diventare genitori.

Siamo stati seguiti dall'Istituto Marches di Roma, volevamo raccontare la nostra esperienza che è stata positiva. Accolti sempre bene da tutta l'equipe medica del Dott.Parastie che con la sua professionalità, la sua dedizione e la precisione dimostrata, non si è mai arreso con noi e per il nostro sogno. È stato una guida un bravo consigliere. Un particolare ringraziamento va ai biologi perno importante di tutto lo staff medico e poi l'ostetrica Cristina che è di una dolcezza unica. Dopo 2/3 tentativi siamo riusciti a realizza il nostro sogno più grande. Adesso sono in attesa di 2 gemelli. 🙏🤞

Mixed experience with long waiting times, friendly staff, and expensive treatment costs.

It is for the second time that I find myself writing a review for the Instituto Marquès, and the reason is that they have made me a mother for the second time. I have tears in my eyes as I write because only those who need to turn to centers that deal with ART know how painful it sometimes is to become parents. It's a difficult path but when you put your trust in the right hands it becomes possible. I will never stop thanking all the staff for the greatest gift you can receive in life. Doctor Benigna, Doctor Parastie and for the first pregnancy also Doctor Noto. Thanks also to those who collaborate with them, biologists, informants, assistants and secretaries. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Don't hesitate to entrust yourself to their care if you haven't yet chosen who to follow. I wish everyone to be able to write here with the same joy in my heart.

I waited a long time for this review because it's not easy to tell your story, every person who faces this path is always a little hurt, a little full of anger and disappointment but it's always nice to talk about your experiences... I, we entrusted ourselves to the Marques Institute in Rome after several miscarriages and few clear answers.. At the beginning my medical assistant was Mrs. Encarni where I only spoke to her by telephone but even just her voice made me serene and this alone gave me happiness, then I met Veronica, my other assistant who was wonderful to say the least and the well-known doctor.. I did all the tests and everything they advised me but unfortunately the first transfer went badly, I was sorry and angry but I didn't give up, they advised me to wait a few months and then try again... within these months the well-known doctor who followed me had stopped due to health problems so I was entrusted to doctor PARASTIE, at the time I thought oh god what now?? How will it be? I was a little worried, then... I made an appointment and we went to Rome, I saw him and for the first time in my life I said to myself: "oh my god an angel" I don't know but it had this almost chilling effect on me, and I thought this time it'll be fine.. Both me and my partner immediately liked him because he is a caring, attentive, delicate, sweet, prepared doctor, ready to listen to you and advise you on everything for your own good. He consoled us a bit and explained some things to do as extra help and he modified my treatment based on his experience and so we fixed the day of the transfer, when I was ready, all euphoric, to do it, he told me it was better to wait because he had found some imperfections due to the so-called in Italian scratching of the endometrium that I did and so he told me let's do it next month... I looked at him a little perplexed, sad and said: Sure, let's wait, I trust you.. The following month I moved, he did everything for me personally and I must say he was delicate, patient and thoughtful. He looked at us and said fingers crossed it will be fine.... Days passed and on the paper it was written to do the test after 15 days but he told me: Elena don't do it after 15 days do it after 17 days Stubbornly, on the fifteenth day I took the test: NEGATIVE, I went into total darkness, I started crying and I was terrified, then his words came to mind, the words of Doctor Parastie and I waited another few days. At the 17th I took the test POSITIVE I was shocked, we were shocked I was pregnant and this time it had to go well, I called him and went back to Rome for the visit, despite being 4 hours away, I decided to do the initial visits with him and not with my gynecologist, I felt protected if I went to the doctor parastie and so we did... he told me that everything was fine and that we could rest assured, after the weeks the relationship with the clinic ends and then you have to rely on the gynecologist again also because for me the distance was considerable so we went to the clinic for the last visit and to say goodbye to him, I hugged him and started to cry, I must say that this man, this doctor, this angel has changed our lives and I strongly advise you to contact the clinic and ask for him, whether he is in Rome, in Barcelona in Milan, look for it because it is truly wonderful. I thank everything, the clinic, the doctor, Cristiana, Veronica, everyone, thank you very much My son was born on May 18th and it's wonderful, it's finally done!!!

IVI Roma Casilino

IVI Rome is widely regarded as a leading IVF centre that combines state‑of‑the‑art facilities with a highly skilled and empathetic medical team. Doctors such as Dr. Cozzolino, Dr. Mariani, Dr. Gebbia, Dr. Massaro and Professor Pellicer are repeatedly highlighted for their professionalism, clear communication and personal support throughout complex cycles. Administrative and nursing staff—including Giusy, Rosa, Giulia and Sandra—are praised for prompt, friendly assistance and consistent availability, creating a family‑like atmosphere that eases emotional stress. Success stories frequently mention first‑attempt pregnancies and successful egg‑donation cycles, reinforcing the clinic’s reputation for effective treatment protocols. However, several patients note that the centre’s fees are among the highest in the market, with limited upfront cost transparency, and that occasional organizational lapses—such as frequent doctor changes, chaotic scheduling and occasional harsh communication—can undermine confidence. Overall, IVI Rome is recommended for its clinical expertise and supportive environment, provided prospective patients are prepared for the financial commitment and potential administrative challenges.
