After we had already been treated at another clinic and looked at a third one, we decided to continue treatment with Dr. Albowitz decided. Here we were given detailed advice and were given time to make decisions and no pressure was put on us. No unnecessary additional treatments were carried out. What was very important for us personally: individual wishes were taken into account as far as possible and not every patient was treated according to plan X, as in other clinics. Specifically, in our case we wanted to approach the treatment slowly and as “naturally” as possible. Even though this might have a negative impact on the clinic's success statistics, it was taken into account. Dr. Albowitz was empathetic after the first unsuccessful attempt and plans were then continued based on the new findings. The second attempt was successful and after an uncomplicated pregnancy we now have two healthy children at home ☺️

We felt very well looked after at the IVF center in Esslingen. Mr. Dr. Albowitz didn't let up, was very sensitive and carried out various investigations, none of which were unnecessary or felt superfluous. The forecast was also very accurate until it finally worked out. Even if it's not easy to accept at first. The treatments were explained to us in detail and we were also very well looked after by Dr. Albowitz and the practice team. Even if I didn't always get through straight away on the phone, it always worked and I didn't have any accessibility problems. We are very happy that the IVF center supported us on the way to our family happiness and that our healthy and happy daughter is crawling around us. We can recommend the center without reservation.
