Pelargos IVF Reviews

Love Pelargos IVF Dr. Karpouzis and his team!
I want to start this by saying, please do not hesitate! Dr. Karpouzis and his team are AMAZING! All of the research and reviews are 100% accurate, he is the BEST! We are welcoming a miracle next week and it is ALL because of him! An INCREDIBLE doctor and midwife! We are so lucky to have met him!
We started our fertility journey in 2021 in the US where we were unsuccessful with two rounds of IUI, and we weren’t happy with the doctors, treatment, and overall experience. I was 37 at the time and knew my time was limited. This is when we had to decide if we wanted to continue in the states with IVF and find another doctor that we trusted as it would be 100% out of pocket. Both us of traveled outside the US for work regularly so looking outside of the states for treatment was an option and wasn’t intimidating for us. That is when we began our research looking into the best fertility doctors in Europe reading EVERY article, statistic, review, etc. We decided to reach out to the few we narrowed down, but in doing further research we decided the best of the best was where we wanted to start and wanted to make contact with Pelargos IVF. Dr. Karpouzis was our top choice but knew it would come down to how comfortable we felt after a phone interview. So, we sent an inquiry and scheduled the video consultation.
Our inquiry was responded to and we scheduled the phone consultation within a few days of our request. Dr. Karpouzis spent at least 30 minutes with us and didn’t require any kind of deposit for the consult. He directly explained their approach to IVF, what the timeline and process would look like and was extremely straightforward. Dr. H explained what he would recommend, the testing needed and answered every question we had. He reassured us it was our decision without any pressure and provided next steps if we wanted to proceed. Ultimately, we decided to put the deposit down and schedule for a few months down the road at the beginning of the next year. We finally had a plan! It was so nice to not feel rushed or pressured, but have a plan.
When we arrived to start the process, Dr. Karpouzis and his midwife, Vasiliki welcomed us and made us feel right at home. Throughout our 3 week treatment, Vasiliki and Dr. were in direct contact with me every day and reassured me with ANY questions I had along the way. The personalized treatment I received was amazing.Â
We had appointments scheduled for every couple of days and ended with 5-day blastocysts. We had 2 eggs that were top quality and although the odds were against us, we decided to go with a fresh transfer of only 1 egg. The instructions were to take it easy for the next few days where we stayed in Marousi, and departed for work travel in Europe for the next couple of weeks. While on travel, I was still on medication and Dr. Karpouzis was in direct contact with me the entire time and even helped me with sourcing medication in foreign countries where the brand of the drug was different from that we got in Greece. We were in two different countries traveling while getting the pregnancy blood test done at day 12 and day 14, and once we got the results we sent them to Dr. Karpousiz via WhatsApp, and he immediately reviewed and confirmed pregnancy! He advised an ultrasound was needed at week 6 and to stay the course with medication. We felt so comfortable with him and his team that we ended up flying back to Greece for the 6 week ultrasound to confirm a heartbeat. It felt like coming home when we arrived and saw him and his team! He performed the ultrasound and wished us the best. We considered a birthing option in Greece just because of how at home we felt with him. Once we arrived back home, he checked on me to guide me through the next ultrasound until I was able to see a doctor here in the states. Just amazing!
If I could rate him I would give him 100000 stars and we cannot wait to return for another transfer! Our little miracle is scheduled for delivery next week and we are so excited to send an update to Dr. Karpousiz and Vasiliki!
