What to watch out for at IVI Lisboa Clinic?
- Communication Breakdown and Difficulties in Scheduling
A significant number of reviews mention that patients experienced frustratingly long wait times for responses regarding appointments and treatment updates. Many report challenges in reaching the clinic by phone, leading to feelings of neglect and helplessness, especially before beginning treatment. - Disorganization and Chaotic Processes
Patients express concerns about disorganization in scheduling and treatment processes, citing examples of last-minute changes regarding appointments and the necessity of repeated visits for tests that could have been consolidated. This lack of planning adds unnecessary stress to an already fraught experience. - Insufficient Privacy During Sensitive Discussions
Several clients noted a lack of privacy during discussions that involved sensitive topics related to their treatment. Important consent conversations are conducted in open waiting areas, which can make patients uncomfortable and expose personal information to others. - Complications Caused by Staff Availability
Patients reported frustrations when their assigned doctors were unavailable, particularly during critical times when test results were needed. Delays in communication about doctors' availability led to feelings of uncertainty and heightened anxiety for patients awaiting results. - High Treatment Costs with Mixed Quality of Service
While many found the treatments professionally executed, others felt that the high costs did not consistently correlate with the level of service experienced, particularly in administrative tasks and communication, leading some to question the value of their investment.
10 latest reviews of IVI Lisboa Clinic
An excellent experience for us at this clinic.
After a huge disappointment in another clinic in Lisbon, we were welcomed here, with warmth, smiles and humanity, both by the people at reception, the nurses, and the doctors!
Special mention to our great doctor Samuel Ribeiro, who always told us things with frankness, transparency, but also great kindness.
We recommend this clinic with our eyes closed, hoping that luck can be on your side for the success of your projects.
I thank God for the strength, saying that it is not an easy process, especially because the 1st attempt did not lead to pregnancy, and it was very frustrating, and the clinic simply does not take responsibility, which I think is wrong, there should at least be a discount for the second attempt. (Doesn’t hear)
But we gathered strength and resources and continued in search of our dream, I received a positive result on the second attempt, I was discharged and I am very happy and at the same time scared…
I think we should also have psychological help.
For women who have the same dream, don’t give up, I wish you a lot of strength, courage, trust in God.
I recommend the clinic. It has professional secrecy, and excellent technicians.
Without forgetting to thank the team of Dr. Vânia Ribeiro, thank you very much for your attention always available for any clarification.
I was always seen punctually.
Thank you very much IV
Lack of empathy and not complete observation. I made first IUI and it’s failed.they never stated the reason until I got second opinion to other clinic and I found out the reason why it’s been failed.
In my own opinion they not check properly and not examine properly the patient before undergo of any procedure they only asking you to do the procedure so they can ask money to pay again.
“Frustrated by Poor Communication and Lack of Support at the Clinic”
Is the clinic still in operation?
I went and did my first consultation last week. Have been trying and calling everyday since then to schedule the result appointment. But the call never goes through. I emailed them, and filled the form on the website. But no one ever gets back. The automatic email reply tells me to download the app and when I did it tells me to call the same number. It’s a dead end. Did it just go out of business or something? Can someone tell me what the correct number to call???
Edit: I finally was able to reach out to them with my friend’s phone. On my second appointment i already indicated that I would like to proceed, and I was counting on the front desk to help me resolve the communication problem. However, there was 0 willingness to help and the nonchalant attitude is abhorrent. I cancelled the next appointment on the spot because I can’t deal with the extra frustration from the admin incompetence to the process. Being able to communicate should be the most basic thing. And I swear I am the most considerate client one can get – I simply need to get in touch to make appointment!
But the receptionist also offered no help when I told him I won’t go forward just because this communication issue is not resolved. He did not express willingness to help, or that he was sorry there was a problem, nor offer to pass the problem to someone else who might be in a better position to help. He simply said “if you wish to cancel the next appointment then I would be happy to do it for you. It’s ok. “ (????)
They don’t care if you come or go. There is no evaluation on customer satisfaction. I can’t imagine going through the process with this kind of client support.
Disappointed with IVI’s Service, Found Supportive Care at Ferticentro Instead
I was really disappointed with my experience at this clinic. I traveled from the U.S. to Portugal specifically for an egg-freezing procedure. I had my initial consultation and blood work with IVI in April, which went smoothly. The clinic appeared modern, well-organized, and professional. I was optimistic and arranged for a follow-up appointment in July to begin the process.
However, things started to go wrong during the July appointment. First, the scheduling department mixed up my appointment date. While they did correct the issue, I had to return to the clinic a few hours later, which was inconvenient. During the follow-up, I was given estrogen pills and instructed to call once my cycle started to begin hormone injections. When I did exactly that, I was shocked to find out the clinic would be closed for two weeks—information that was never disclosed to me in either the initial or follow-up consultations. This was incredibly frustrating as they knew I had traveled from abroad specifically for this procedure.
They then recommended I take a pill to regulate my period, something they should have suggested from the start, knowing my situation. To make matters worse, this advice came from the front desk staff, and it took several calls and persistent follow-ups just to speak with a doctor about alternative options. I reached out to other fertility clinics in the area, but most required an initial consultation, which meant I missed that cycle and had to wait for the next one.
I felt the staff and doctor were cold, unhelpful, and unprofessional. When dealing with international patients, there should be more transparency and better solutions.
Ultimately, I went to Ferticentro in Coimbra, which is about 1.5-2 hours from Lisbon. Although the clinic is older, the experience was fantastic. The staff, including doctors and nurses, were incredibly caring and attentive, and they are used to accommodating international patients within tight timelines. I went through the entire process alone, but I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Ferticentro over IVI based on my experience.
Frustrated by Appointment Issues in Lisbon Due to Phone Confusion

“Thankful for My Fertility Journey with IVI Clinic, But Communication Could Improve”
Me and my husband arrived at this clinic for fertility treatments after we had a bitter experience with another clinic in Lisbon where which all the doctors were males and they were not professional enough.
Thanks to Dr Tatiana Semenova, I got pregnant after the first treatment at IVI clinic. I must mention that the entire team that treated me including the nurses, the anesthesiologist, the doctors who performed the egg retrieval – they were all super professional women and I felt that this time I was finally in good hands! At the age of 43 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.
I give only 4 stars out of 5 because the communication with the team at the reception and the nurse who accompanied me in the process was a bit hard and sometimes when I had urgent questions regarding prescriptions or medications, I did not receive a reply on time.
Overall – In terms of the medical process and the facilities – I had a very good experience with this clinic and I thank you so much for helping me become a mom!
“One Year of Support at IVI: Grateful for Doctor Tatiana and the Team as We Hear Our Baby’s Heartbeat!”
We started our journey with IVI exactly one year ago. Doctor Tatiana Semenova immediately welcomed us and accompanied us on this journey. It wasn’t easy, but thanks to his attention and skills, today we had the ultrasound and felt our son’s heartbeat.
Thanks also go to every single person who works in the clinic, to the support we have had from all the staff, nurses and doctors, today we await our gift.
Super competence and humanity were the key elements to make our dream come true.
Thank you doctor Tatiana, thank you IVI
“Exceptional Support and Results: My Positive Experience with Dr. Tatiana and the IVI Team”
I’ve had a great experience with Dr Tatiana and the IVI team. I had two online consults before coming to Lisbon for three weeks to do the fertility preservation (egg freezing). I felt heard when I’d bring up any concerns or had questions about my protocol. They would always call me within a few hours after I’d send a message in the online portal if I had any questions or had to notify them of something. On the day of my procedure, I felt really looked after before and during recovery the couple of hours after. While it’s not an easy process, I think the IVI team definitely made things easier and the results exceeded my expectations. I would recommend!
