"A deeply disappointing experience after a positive past treatment Nine years ago, after two treatments at Institut Marquès, I achieved a positive result and a twin pregnancy. At that time, the clinic felt much more humane, attentive, and truly focused on the patients — not just on money. Recently, after starting a new chapter in my life with a partner who dreams of becoming a father, I returned to the clinic with hope. Unfortunately, my experience this time was completely different. My first doctor was extremely unprofessional: cold, arrogant, and insensitive. She delivered devastating information with zero empathy, as if she were selling a product rather than speaking to someone seeking help to become a mother. I immediately refused to continue with her. I then asked to be followed by the doctor who treated me years ago. She was kind and professional, but the overall experience was still very disappointing. Communication was poor; many times I tried to reach her without success. We attempted three cycles with my own eggs and then moved to egg donation — something that was never in our plans. Despite good ovarian response and supposedly excellent donor eggs, we never received a successful result. Across the treatments, the embryos repeatedly failed by day five, something that had never happened to me before. This happened more than once, raising serious concerns about the laboratory work. After spending €26,000 only in treatments (not counting travel, hotel, flights), we were left without answers and without support. After the last negative result, nobody from the clinic contacted me — not even a simple call to express empathy or to discuss what could have gone wrong. No explanation, no follow-up, nothing. The lack of humanity and communication has been shocking. A clinic dealing with such sensitive situations should show empathy, clarity, and real interest in their patients. Unfortunately, that was not my experience this time. I left feeling ignored, disappointed, and deeply hurt.😞 Molto triste"

"I was 51 when I got in contact with Institut Marquès, they were very helpful and understanding I had been trying to have children for more than 30 years, Institut Marquès guided me through the treatments and which would be best suited for me, I had my treatment in August last year 2025, my Daughter was born on the 20th of April, she's 1 week old, I am still coming to terms that I am a mum me 30 years waiting and I feel like I'm in a dream, God Bless Institut Marquès and the joy you bring 1000's of women longing to be mums, you are truly amazing. Thank you for making my dreams a reality, I'm a mum and my daughter is so beautiful."

"I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and support I received at the Institute Marques in helping us on our path to conceive our children. From the very first consultation, the team made me feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication were evident at every stage of my journey. Navigating fertility treatment is emotionally and physically challenging, but the staff created a safe and reassuring process that kept me feeling hopeful. This was particularly impressive as we were doing the treatment from overseas. Every appointment and communication was handled with sensitivity and professionalism. Thanks to their guidance and care, I am now on a path I never thought possible and have two beautiful children. I wholeheartedly recommend the Institute Marques to anyone seeking fertility support. They truly change lives"

"We highly recommend Institut Marques Barcelona for their incredible work, facilities and staff. They have fantastic expertise, wonderful staff and they gave us the family we dreamed of. From the start they have amazing and friendly staff who guide you through the process. They communicate well to keep you informed, answer any queries and reassure you. It is very clear their knowledge is exceptional from correspondence and visits to the clinic. The layout and design of their facilities create a calming, friendly atmosphere whilst also being clinical and professional. Attention to detail is given to every aspect from the procedure itself, the clinic design to assisting you. We can’t praise or thank them enough for our 2 beautiful daughters."
