"This review is long overdue. My husband and I received treatment with Dr Paradchos at Embio Clinic in Athens!! He was wonderful! We went through two rounds of IVF. I’m 43 yrs old, we began our egg retrieval process when I was 42. Most fertility clinics would strongly recommend using donor eggs at my age, but Dr. Paradchos never pressured me. He encouraged that I try with my own eggs. Thank god I did, we were able to get 2 Euploid embryos out of our 2 Egg retrievals. We transferred our 1st embryo last June, and I had BIG 4,2 kg baby boy the end of March! We received incredible care the entire time we were there. All of the nurses, medical staff, and all of the doctors were always so kind, knowledgeable and caring. I’m looking forward to transferring our 2nd embryo with Dr Paraschos next year. I am so grateful for the Embio clinic and its staff! Highly recommend!! Thank you Dr Paraschos!!"

No I am excited to be in my 7th week of pregnancy and everything is going very well. Thank you, thank you Embio doctors and staff for giving me a chance to be a mum."

"Embio IVF has helped me welcome two beautiful healthy girls and I couldn't be prouder to finally be called "mom". My first blessing was in January and my second blessing was in November. Thank you to Dr. Paraschos, and Embio IVF in Athens Greece for all their help in making my dreams come true. For many years I dreamt and sometimes cried because I wasn't a mother while everyone around me was starting their family. I'm happy to share that my world is now complete with my two daughters and I couldn't be happier. I recommend Embio IVF to anyone looking to start a family with assistance of great doctors, nurses, and colleagues. Thank you Dr Paraschos and Embio team!!"

"We had an excellent experience with Embio and would highly recommend them, especially for international patients looking for distance treatment. From the very beginning until the end of our journey, Sevi was our contact person and she was amazing throughout the whole process. Communication was smooth, clear, and very supportive. The medication instructions were very detailed and easy to follow, which made the treatment much less stressful. One of the biggest advantages for us was that we only needed to visit the clinic once, on the embryo transfer day. Since we live in London, travelling to Athens multiple times would have been very difficult and expensive. The remote coordination made everything so convenient and cost-effective. We are incredibly grateful to Dr Thanos, Sevi, and the whole Embio team for helping us achieve our dream. We were successful on our very first attempt and are now blessed with a healthy and happy baby boy. We truly wish we had gone to Embio from the start after spending so much time, money, and emotional energy at other clinics."

"Dr. Paraschos and the team at Embio ivf clinic in Athens fulfilled our dream to have not one, but two healthy babies who are 3 weeks old as I write this message!! Not only did the team help us get pregnant, but they did so in a caring, encouraging and hopeful way. Dr. Paraschos knows what he’s doing, from the initial screenings, adapting the fertility treatment as new results came. We tried in London, Turkey, USA without success in the last 4 years. When we researched Dr. Paraschos and the Embio IVF center and met him for the first appointment we knew we were in the right hands. He was so kind, inquisitive and caring. Every time I had an appointment, I was greeted with kindness by all the staff and taken care of punctually by the team. The ultrasound appointments were a joy as well, and the staff celebrated with us when the embryos pass all their stages. I still remember when they brought the embryos in the embryo transfer room the care and delicate way they handled them during the embryo transfer. Magical. So grateful to have had the luck to meet you all! Thank you so much for all you did. Highly recommend Embio IVF team."
