“From the beginning, this team made me feel so cared for. They informed me of the whole process, I had a dedicated person who addressed all my questions and concerns. My medical team was patient, generous and supportive every step. Even from overseas, I had access to the team via WhatsApp. I could send pictures, voice notes and texts at any point with any issue I had. This was so important to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start my family. Forever grateful for them.”

“I’m so forever grateful to have found Procriar, Porto. We have the easiest journey (after having an IVF child in UK and then a failed cycle for sibling in another clinic in UK) we combined a 3 month travelling trip with our toddler to Portugal with an IVF round. Within 2 weeks of arriving in Portugal I had completed my cycle and transferred somehow! Dr Joana is amazing and carried out from start to finish-which felt so lovely. I am 41, bit overweight, thyroid issues, MTHFR mutation gene, had Emergency Cesarean with son, plus very low fertilty/ AMH-so clearly this was one last ditch attempt with my own eggs. Dr Joana was so very lovely, friendly, open minded, positive yet realistic, experienced and just wonderful all round person. I planned to do two egg collections back to back and fertilise and test to see if normal (as I have had a lot of losses-IVF and natural), in the hope of getting at least one normal embryo to transfer after. After the initial drugs, Dr Joana informed me that only one egg was correct size and she felt we should just proceed to transfer without testing-do a fresh transfer. Usually I’m quite challenging and would ask for more drugs/ more time-but I whole heartedly trusted Dr Joana and I instinctively felt she was right. Luckily she was, my daughter was born on 14th April and I will be forever thankful to Procriar. The clinic is home from home and I felt like I was with family at home in small welcoming setting, opposed to a medical people and setting. Joana Caveleiro deserves a special mention, she went above and beyond and felt like she was a friend who was my biggest cheerleader. She was professional and so encouraging-I felt so seem and supported. Although everyone was wonderful and made me feel amazing and hopeful-I simply believed it had to work, even though the odds were against us. My experience has not been like this sadly in the UK. My son was through a top London clinic on NHS and felt like a number, just business and didn’t feel like they should be working with vulnerable people, didn’t seem to empathise with the people they are working with-who are probably heartbroken and desperate on this sadly difficult journey to become a parent. Whereas Procriar, Porto, their English is perfect, they are so professional, friendly and I felt everyone there knew me and was willing this cycle to work. I had failed cycle with my second cycle in UK and losses with my first cycle, so this was my best round even though I got one embryo to day 5 (after collecting 3) we transferred and i’m here laying with my perfect 11 day old baby miracle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You really offer something special and have changed my life. I can’t thank you enough, 5 star doesn’t seem enough. Thank you doesn’t seem enough. We hope to pop in early next year, when back in Portugal and see you all with our girl and thank you personally.”

“My wife and I started our fertility journey with Procriar on Jan 2nd 2025 after a disastrous eights months at a clinic in the uk( no personal care, no communication no proper screening, feeling like a side hustle for the medical staff). The treatment we received at Procriar was the polar opposite. We began with being given a point of contact who would act an intermediate between ourselves and the doctors, replying to any questions or requests we had outside of appointments within the day. We were put in the care of DR Joana Mesquita Guimarães who led us through the whole process. She made us a treatment plan based on the test results we gave her. She explained everything she would do with kindness and patience. She told us not to be stressed (thank you uk clinic!) … that preparation and doing things absolutely correctly was most important. Her professionalism was exemplary. Her knowledge, her attention to detail , her persistence to achieve exactly the results she believed were possible were all faultless. She exemplifies what I think a doctor should be. Overall the consistency of care was outstanding. My wife and I are restaurant people and for us Joana and the procriar clinic are a 3 Michelin star team. If you’re reading these reviews in order , I can add that my wife is east European with a very polish name and the idea they we have received any prejudice WHATSOEVER is utter nonsense. Online opinions matter and these people should be ashamed. In fact it was mostly online reviews that drew us to procriar and boy oh boy (no pun here , we don’t know the sex) was it one of our best ever decisions. As of today , we’re 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant! We’ll never thank the team at Procriar enough , because how do you thank someone for giving you a family, but know we are eternally grateful.❤️”

“Our experience with Procriar was amazing - they took well care of us along the whole path and we cannot do anything but recommend them! The team is great, kind and always supportive even in the difficult situations a PMA put people through - so don’t hesitate!”

“I am happy to say that I think our experience of Procriar is very similar to that of the other couples here - just amazing. From start to end (almost end as still pregnant) we have had the highest quality, warm, caring support. It was not only 5* quality but very personal. We love all the team at Procriar. Dr Joana is AMAZING and was with me professionally and personally throughout the whole process including a laproscopic surgery. Her team of nurses and front staff are also just as amazing. Currently 15 weeks pregnant and feel confident and supported.”
