"My relationship with Serum IVF has spanned 9 years so far because of the caring nature of the clinic headed by the most genuine caring founder and director Penny Abatzi. I first approached the clinic to do ivf and then some endometriosis surgery and hysterscopy and immune work up. The team were wonderful. The relationship this clinic has with local gynaecology hospitals nearby is a bonus. I kept in touch over the years and penny was thrilled to learn of our baby Sophie being born. I struggled with some major health complications with endometriosis and pancreatitis and recently reached out to penny for her knowledge and support. She arranged the best doctors in Athens to take care of me and a special price with the surgeries. She was under no obligation to help me as much as she has but she simply is a good person who wants to help others. I wish the doctors in England could learn from this women and her staff. Penny now runs a state of the art clinic which was a life long dream of her and her husband and it really is a beautiful piece of architecture and gentle environment to be supported during the stressful times of infertility. I went to visit her last week and she met my daughter for the first time and my mother who had the opportunity to thank her with my father also for the clinics support. ❤️ I highly recommend Serum IVF"

"I traveled from the U.S. to Serum IVF and have been there a total of five times, and I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience. First, the cost—even when factoring in international travel—was significantly lower than undergoing IVF in the U.S., which made this journey much more accessible. But beyond the financial aspect, what really stood out was the level of care. The entire team made me feel like family. Every staff member—from doctors to midwives to reception—was incredibly warm, supportive, and genuinely invested in my journey. I actually found Serum by chance through a simple Google search, and I’m so grateful I did. One thing that makes Greece unique is that IVF does not require a marriage certificate; you only need a notary, which Serum conveniently arranges for you. That alone removed a huge barrier for me. During my treatment, I learned that I needed both a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. My doctor, Dr. Mando, took care of everything and arranged for my procedures at a nearby hospital. What amazed me most was how fast everything moved. I initially went in for an egg retrieval, but when surgery became necessary, Dr. Mando asked whether I wanted to do it in Greece or back home. I chose Greece. She stepped out, made a quick call, and within five minutes came back with incredible news—I was scheduled for surgery the very next afternoon. That level of speed and coordination is honestly unheard of in the U.S. Overall, my experience with Serum IVF has been exceptional. The combination of affordability, efficiency, and truly compassionate care makes them stand out. If you are considering IVF abroad, I would absolutely recommend Serum."
"I travelled to Greece from the UK for fertility treatment in August 2025. I had not received any fertility treatment prior to this. Earlier in 2025 I had initial consultations with a few UK clinics. At the time I was 41 and had an AMH of just over 6 pmol/L. I had no known fertility issues, however the UK clinics had been quite negative with regards to my chances of becoming pregnant and advised I would likely need multiple rounds of IVF, high doses of medication and furthermore advised that IUI would likely be a waste of time for me. The resulting disappointment led me to look into clinics overseas. I settled on Greece and chose Serum due to the positive attitudes of the staff I spoke to during the initial consultation, reviews for this clinic, and the prompt responses to communications. Cost was also a factor, with treatments in Greece costing less than the UK, and the option to use the Serum sperm bank further lowered costs. I visited Greece for 1 week and was delighted to become pregnant following just one IUI treatment at Serum. In May 2026 I gave birth to my daughter at the age of 42, my first and only child, who I care for as a solo parent. Many thanks to my Serum consultant Dr. Nick, Penny, and the rest of the team at Serum."
"We want to thank Serum from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream come true! Thanks to you we are now expecting our first child. Everyone at Serum treated us with compassion and they showed us that they truly cared about us. I also think it’s important to mention that they used advanced protocols specifically tailored to me and my husband’s needs. Finally, a special thank you to Ms Penny and Dr Mando for going above and beyond to make sure that we have the best possible outcome! Thank you so much!"
