"went through this clinic after failed in Georgia. So far except the long waiting time, everything is good. Signed up with double program, both FETs turned to be successful at first transfer. It needs time to wait, but the results worth it"

"We are beyond grateful to Celagem for making our dream of having a baby come true. After several IVF failures, we finally succeeded with a baby girl, the unwavering support, expertise, and kindness of the entire team. This journey was not just about medical procedures—it was about trust, compassion, and an incredible level of care that we will never forget. Dr. Elayne Vasques has been more than just a doctor—she became a friend, supporting us every step of the way, even after the delivery. Dr. Omar, whom we met only once, was exceptionally professional, comforting, and understanding. The entire staff showed immense dedication. At one point, my wife’s veins were difficult to locate, and while she was in pain, even the nurses were in tears, showing how deeply they cared. Their empathy and commitment made all the difference. We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Laura, Maria, Axel, Oscar, Miledis, and many other wonderful people who showered us with kindness and support throughout the process. Their warmth made this an enjoyable and reassuring experience. Celagem doesn’t just provide medical services—they truly deliver hope and happiness. If you are considering fertility treatment, look no further. This clinic is a place where science, dedication, and love come together to make miracles happen. Thank you, Celagem, for everything!"

"This clinic has been a nightmare during our fertility journey. They took our money and gave us nothing but false promises and heartbreak. We were told we had four “healthy” embryos. Three were transferred without success, and the fourth tragically ended in a stillbirth at seven months. The clinic showed no compassion during this devastating time. To make matters worse, it became clear they don’t fully test embryos as they claim, raising serious concerns about their standards and honesty. Additionally, two of our doctors abruptly left the clinic during our treatment with no notice or explanation. This lack of communication and accountability left us feeling abandoned during one of the hardest times of our lives. If you are considering this clinic, don’t. Their practices are unethical, their care is cold, and their lack of professionalism is staggering. Find a clinic that values transparency and compassion—you deserve better."

"If you donate eggs, the founder Pedro will upload your high resolution unaltered photos to a database that he freely shares with prospective clients who have not engaged with him or signed an NDA with him. A simple facial recognition match will expose your personal social media accounts. This is a horrific breach of your privacy and absolute malpractice. The owner's response below claims this data is only shared with "formally enrolled" clients. That is false. I was never enrolled, signed no contract, and paid no fees. Yet, I was given access. His response proves exactly how "loose" their actual protocols are compared to what they claim in public."

"Hello. We were surprised to read some comments and therefore wanted to share our own opinion about the clinique Celagem. Like many other parents we know, we have been very happy with Celagem and will be forever grateful to them. Today our baby is 19 months old and in excellent health, and all of this is thanks to the Celagem clinic. They were by our side from the beginning to the end of the journey, and we were very well supported throughout the entire process. For us, Celagem is a very caring and professional clinic. As a result, we are going back this year for a new project with them, as they gave us complete satisfaction. Thanks to them."
