“After three IVF cycles at different fertility clinics and two natural conceptions that unfortunately ended either at 6–7 weeks of pregnancy or showed very low hCG levels, we felt emotionally and physically exhausted and unsure of our next steps. That was when we decided to visit LifeClinic — a decision that truly changed our lives. From the very first moment, we were warmly welcomed by our doctor, Dr. Papanikolaou, the embryologist Mr. Oikonomou, and the entire LifeClinic team. They carefully and thoroughly reviewed our medical history as a couple, taking the time to document every previous attempt, treatment, and medication we had undergone, leaving nothing unexplored or assumed. Following this in-depth evaluation, an accurate diagnosis was made and a fully tailor-made treatment plan was proposed, specifically designed for our individual needs. Throughout every step of the journey, the whole team was by our side — always available to answer questions, explain procedures clearly, and provide constant guidance and reassurance. This level of support created a deep sense of trust and confidence in both the doctor and the team. That trust, combined with carefully following their expert advice, led to the most beautiful outcome possible. Today, we are holding our baby boy in our arms — a dream that has finally come true. The professionalism, extensive experience, and above all the genuine human approach of Dr. Papanikolaou, the embryologist Mr. Oikonomou, and the entire LifeClinic team are true pillars of their success. For anyone seeking not just a fertility clinic, but a team that truly cares, listens, and treats you as a unique case, LifeClinic offers the best possible chances to achieve your dream of having a baby.”

"After years of IVF across Australia and Greece, Life Clinic gave us an experience we didn’t think was possible.

Travelling from Melbourne to Athens for treatment felt daunting, but the team made the entire process seamless. They were flexible, organised and incredibly responsive, which made overseas care feel easy and well supported.

Every member of the team from embryologists to midwives and administration was caring, trauma-informed and deeply invested in our journey.

Dr Dimitri’s passion and dedication are exceptional and the continuity of care before, during and after transfer was unlike anything we’ve experienced. After years of loss and failed cycles, it is difficult to trust the process and remain hopeful. Despite this, our IVF cycle with Life Clinic felt calm, supported even beautiful- I even smiled in the transfer. Which surprised me more than anyone! When we received our positive result, the whole clinic genuinely shared in our joy.

We are deeply grateful and could not recommend Life Clinic more highly.

Thank you Dr Dimitri, Margarita, Chara, Nina and Konsta- we can’t wait to return to Greece and introduce you to the family you helped us create."

"Dear Dr Dimitri and team, it took us some weeks to write you, because we were looking for the words to express our gratitude, we still can’t find them, because becoming a mum and dad after so many years, with treatments in different countries, is a feeling we can’t put into words.

It is all we could ever wish for and so much more. From the moment we had our first phone call, we have felt so heard and seen. Your genuine personal approach makes so much of a difference and after being a ‘patient’ by a number of other clinics and hospitals, it was life changing. Besides all the medical steps I had to go through, you really supported me and understood me like no other, how fragile and vulnerable people can be who are going trough a fertility traject, you were on top of all the steps in our process and gave us so much faith.

We have had so many treatments in different counties, with so many tests, that we almost lost hope/faith. I’m happy we kept believing and we were the lucky ones to get in contact with you and your team! You have changed our whole world.

From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank you and your team for guiding us in this life journey, we are more then thankful and will never take all your expertise and personal approach for granted. Ray and Willemijn, and our daughter Sage"

“I initially found this clinic for immunology as it is listed in the Alan Beer book. I would think twice appointing this clinic as there is no transparency on fees and I was reccommended a cookie cutter approach and when asked to explain why this fitted my protocol was just ‘reassured it was safe’ instead of given answers as to why this applied to me. If I hadn’t paid already, I would have run for the hills at that point. Instead I went for a second opinion with Dr Gorgy in London and the experiences were poles apart and the protocol I received there could not have been more different. Not a single item was consistent between the 2 doctors. Dr Dimitri is deliberately obstructive to answering questions in a consultation if he believes you haven’t paid the 1100 euros for a monitoring fee and then once he hears you have paid that, sends you the plan within 5 minutes of ending the call. This meant that the two consultations with him were more about him giving his opinion rather than answering my questions and anything useful I already knew because I had tried so much before I came to this doctor and been told there was nothing wrong. He believed I do have immune issues but my bloodwork all looked good. He reviews 5 sets of blood work and that constitutes the fee until you get positive test. I was always upfront that I came to the clinic with miscarriage problems, but was still given the IVF plan to help me get pregnant which has never been my problem. Upon following all his convoluted steps and finding I am pregnant have been asked for another large fee with zero notice and zero continuation of care until he gets paid at a critical time. The doctor bedside manner pays no heed to your condition in terms of trying to reduce your stress. Sometimes he will take more than 48 hrs to reply when you ask about bloodwork during your transfer cycle when you need quick responses. Other times the response will be quick but you are expected to fill out every biomarker in an excel sheet and send it to him in order to get comments back. He will deliver all info by email so for example telling you to arrange a particular treatment ASAP on the evening of my transfer day because he believes my immune system is activating…no reassurring phone calls, just excessive stressful jumping through hoops and his unjustified insistence on instructions that medical research have proved to be potentially harmful - such as excessive thinners which can cause implantation issues or SCH in pregnancy to people with no clotting issues or insistence on infusions which do not correlate with the Chicago bloods. The lack of transparency is the most disappointing thing for me and speaks volumes about how money driven the clinic are - advice is held back …to be told at 12 days after a positive test that the 6 months monitoring he said I was paying for only covered the period between transfer and positive test is contradictory to former emails and also poor value and completely inflexible. There is no reason why they couldn’t have sent information on their rigid approach at the outset of my enquiries or at least sent me a proper explanation that did not give me the impression I was getting 6 months monitoring when I did ask them to explain the fee so I wouldn’t have this shock. It is the basics when offering professional services to make it clear what the client is paying for and that has been misrepresented. I feel misled and want to warn others so they do not experience the same stress and misinformation and misdirection to their questions. I have posted my review to the immunology Facebook groups also and will write to the is your body baby friendly book as I feel completely taken advantage of. I have found similar reviews below but I did not find such comments on the various immunology resources so will be sure to cross post to other locations as I wouldn’t wish this experience on any other women without knowing what they are getting into.”

“I am writing this review as I hold my sleeping baby girl in my arms. I can’t say enough about what a positive experience I had working with Dr. Dimitri and everyone at Life Clinic. After 8 long years of trying to conceive, and going through multiple fertility assessments and treatments at multiple clinics, Dr. Dimitri was the first to really listen to my story and take my situation seriously. He created a specific protocol catered to my individual health situation and was with me every step of the way, through my treatment and until our baby was born. Dr. Dimitri’s commitment to the work he does and his patients is unlike anything I’ve experienced. I would highly recommend him and his clinic.”
