10 latest reviews of IVI Donostia – Clínica de Reproducción Asistida y Fertilidad
Without a doubt, the best decision we have made. It is clear that the die is cast but the resources provided by IvI and the exquisite human treatment make a perfect combination during the process. A thousand thanks to the entire team!!!
The IVI Baby offer up to 49 years old is misleading and profit comes first.
I am very disappointed by my experience with IVI San Sébastien.
I started the process when I was 48 years old, first I took the guarantee of two embryos, after a successful transfer and a miscarriage at 3 months and a second failed transfer, I wanted to try again with the IVI baby program when I was not yet 49 years old.
After 5 long days of waiting during which my file apparently passed between several services, my request was rejected, for alleged medical reasons, except that no medical reason was communicated to me. The announcement was not even made to me by the doctor, but by an assistant who not only did not explain to me the medical reason for the refusal, but also reminded me that I had made the wrong decision by not taking the IVI baby option 7 months previously, which was particularly violent.
It is therefore false to state that this option is possible up to the age of 49. I wanted to warn women who might be in the same situation as me, even though I know IVI will hide behind the fact that every case is different.
In all cases, it is above all about profit and even before the age of 49, the IVI baby option may be refused to you.
Both my wife and I do not want to miss the opportunity to THANK the entire IVI Donostia team for helping us fulfill our dream of being mothers. After years of searching in different clinics and many treatments involved, we decided to trust IVI. Today, with our 20-day-old little one, we write to thank, on the one hand, the PROFESSIONALISM of the entire team: Administrative staff, nurses, assistants and gynecologists, with special mention to Dr. María Lure, and on the other hand THE TREATMENT and CLOSENESS with which they have accompanied us, which is so needed in these processes. Thank you for your work and for the affection. We would trust again without a doubt.
We want to thank you for the treatment received this year at IVI Donosti:
Thank you María Lure, for your patience, delicacy and sincerity throughout this process. It hasn’t been easy but it has been worth it. You are a true professional, you will always be our fairy godmother :). We will always remember you.
Thanks to Silvia, and to all the nurses who have been with us day after day, doing everything with great care. Thank you for the calls of encouragement, of interest in our emotional and physical state.
Thank you Mercedes and Elena, for always being with a smile as soon as you open the door. It has been a pleasure to share this process with you.
We also want to thank Estefanía, from IVI Bilbao, for the delicacy you had in the embryo transfer, you gave us a lot of security and confidence.
Without a doubt, I would recommend this clinic and these professionals. They do an incredible job with each patient and in the end, every effort pays off.
A kiss and a big hug for the entire team.
Always grateful,
S and J. 🙂
The administration/customer service person in Donosti could have been sent home, the worst customer service I have ever seen.

It is without a doubt the best fertility clinic. Excellent professionals in both Donostia and Bilbao where they make possible what sometimes seems impossible.
Special thanks to doctors Maria Lure and Almudena Gurría for their humanity and professionalism.
“Thanks to IVI, I’m 11 Weeks Pregnant and Grateful for Their Amazing Support!”
Very good follow-up at IVI! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant thanks to IVI. It worked with the first transfer. All the staff gave us very good advice, and still followed us during the pregnancy, asking for our news. The follow-up is top notch and they answer our slightest doubts and questions during the day. I highly recommend this clinic which was able to guide us and give us the best advice to make it work. We are so grateful to all the IVI staff for allowing us to live our dream of becoming parents.

An excellent experience. Almudena Gurria has accompanied us throughout the entire process, who has been very empathetic and who in the most difficult moments has known how to guide and advise us until we achieved the pregnancy we so desired. Thanks to the entire IVI San Sebastián team for their support and all the help provided. It is the clinic that we would recommend to our friends who are going through the same situation as us.
