The reviewer had a very negative experience with Novum, describing it as a money-making scheme. They highly recommended Düsseldorf University Clinic and Gelsenkirchen Fertility Center. The reviewer wishes everyone the best of luck.

All I can say is, stay away. It's the biggest money-making scheme, nothing more. You'll only realize that after you've decided on a different clinic. So save yourself the trouble of going to Novum 👎�…

In 2019, we went there because, after four years of trying to conceive, our desire was still so strong that we wanted help. The receptionists and staff during the treatment were incredibly kind and fr…
