IVF Donostia (Instituto Vasco de Fertilidad) was inaugurated in February 2015, headed by Yosu Franco, a doctor in molecular biology. In addition, this private entity belongs to the Logik centre of Onkologikoa. FIV Donostia carries out different treatments related to assisted reproduction. In addition, its Donostia team is made up of a group of professionals with extensive experience in the field of women’s health.
If you need information on how to get to the clinic, either by public or private transport, you can access this link. IVF Donostia has gynaecological surgeries with intimate examination rooms. According to the information published on its website, IVF is equipped with E-Cube 15 Platinum ultrasound scanners and a screen that allows the patient to see the process.
The andrology laboratory and the IVF laboratory have the necessary equipment to carry out all the treatments they offer to their patients.

We were satisfied with our choice for this clinic. First of all because we were very well supported on a daily basis by Naroa and by all the other people in the service during our visit to Spain. Furthermore, for the first time in almost 9 years, we had the expected result. The majority of staff speak French, although sometimes the translation of certain medical words is confusing and has generated some misunderstandings. In conclusion we recommend this clinic. And thanks again to Naroa for his support.
We are Spanish but we live in France. I contacted the clinic several years ago, at the beginning of the pandemic, and even then, although it was the first clinic where I called (and it would be the only one), they gave me a good feeling. For personal reasons I let it go for several years and contacted them again 1 year ago when I had fully decided. The treatment and efficiency were very good from the beginning, the information was clear and the doctor told us that in our case an egg donation with my boyfriend's sperm would be the most recommended (I was 46 years old), the probability of getting pregnant with an egg mine was very low. In a few days we decided to be practical and follow that path. They always answered my questions and gave me confidence from the beginning. I got pregnant with the first implantation and today I have a beautiful 1-month-old girl named Manon who has filled our happiness. I highly recommend the clinic and I want to highlight the role of Narao, the intermediary person, who was always listening to us with the best of smiles.
I am very grateful to this wonderful team who took care of us.After 7 years of hardship in France (numerous exams, 8 failed transfers and miscarriages), we achieved the happiness we had hoped for thanks to her. The team is efficient and very professional. Everything is done very seriously and the team is very attentive and answers our (many) questions straight away. I was starting to believe this impossible dream and here we are with a beautiful 9 month old baby girl, a miracle for us and a true love. Thank you 1000 times for changing our lives!
It is difficult to find the right words to thank the IVF Donostia team because they gave us the long-awaited happiness. After a long journey of 10 years, I had the chance to have a telephone exchange with Segolène - frank and very professional, without pressure. Then, we met Dr. Santolaria, human, attentive and patient. Our entire journey was then looked after by Lucia with absolute gentleness and patience. Our TEC went perfectly, in a relaxed and moving atmosphere. What professionalism! France has a lot to learn and work on on the approach side (too sterile).In short, my pregnancy is going well, almost 3 months and nothing but happiness.A huge thank you for everything and to the entire IVF Donostia team!Affectionately,Alexandra and Alexandru
I really enjoyed my journey within this clinic. Following my request for information, I was contacted very quickly by telephone. I was then able to obtain an appointment within a very short time to go there to discover the place. The establishment located in the center, is on a human scale, very clean and welcoming. The Distrito Oeste hotel is perfect for staying and walking to the clinic.All the staff speak French very well, are really attentive and show kindness. We have a contact person throughout our journey. You can send an email or call with the slightest question and the answer usually arrives within the day.Video appointments with medical staff have always gone well. They take the time for each patient and the exchanges are natural and easy; just like the medical interventions which take place in a good humor with always a lot of thoughtfulness and attention. We feel considered.Following three IVFs with my eggs which were unsuccessful, the double donation IVF worked on the first try 🙂. Today I am the mother of an adorable little boy, almost 6 months old, full of joy of life, who fills me with happiness!Thank you for everything !
Very nice experience! Monitoring and support that we unfortunately do not find in our hospitals in France.Cristina and the medical staff were always there to answer our questions and very quickly! We felt listened to and helped throughout this ordeal until the end! Now we have our little Zoé by our side for our greatest happiness 🥰Thank you 😊
After, like many, a very complicated 6-year journey in France, made up of failures and long months of waiting, the responsiveness and support of IVF was a cocoon of reassurance. Cristina always made herself available to answer our questions, the transfer is optimized so that the patient feels at her best. Each visit to the clinic went very well (even the eldest, for whom we had no childcare solution, wanted to go back to find the kind lady at reception who had printed out his coloring pages for him on demand...) . On a technical and medical level, we feel the difference with France... I am delighted to have turned to them, they made my dream come true, a dream in which I was beginning to no longer believe...
After a long PMA journey in France strewn with pitfalls and failures, we went to IVF Donostia to do IVF. The search for the clinic was done on the internet.We immediately had a very warm welcome from all the staff with a special mention for Naroa who was always there to answer our questions, in impeccable French and always with his smile and kindness.The premises are on a human scale, clean and access is easy (parking and highway).We were able to benefit from in-depth examinations which allowed us to identify what was “wrong” and adapt the protocol at each stage (unlike in France where we constantly did the same treatments without looking into the why). failure and without any humanity).The clinic has always been accommodating with schedules (we live abroad).Lots of kindness at the clinic throughout the IVF PGD process: stimulations, punctures, and during the transfer where a special atmosphere was established with the doctor, laboratory assistant, the future dad and me.We highly recommend this clinic.Today, I am 5 months pregnant and everything is going well!
It's hard to find the right words to say how fabulous the whole team is. A big thank you for the professionalism, attentiveness and kindness of everyone.Personal monitoring really allows you to be reassured throughout the journey.A big thank you to Lucía, the caregivers and the doctor.A child's desire, we recommend this establishment 200%
Thank you very much Team. From patient care, to Gynecology, etc.A little over a year ago we went to them to inform ourselves and embark on the adventure of becoming parents, and on January 19, our daughter Bella was born.We are delighted with the entire process we have experienced. Without a doubt a great piece of equipment, totally recommended.Thanks from my heart.
A wonderful clinic. Professional and human, the ivf Donostia teams really support the journey. They are lucid and sincere while being gentle and comforting. Perfect for such a sensitive baby project. Our little girl was born in November. An immense joy. Thank you all, Naroa, Ségolène, Maeva and Dr Perez.
An English couple going abroad for IVF can be very stressful. It is a very stressful experience no matter where you go to do it,but it’s always reassuring to know you are in the hands of professionals which is what this clinic definitely delivers.Sometimes the clinic seems almost too thorough however it all makes sense when you see the clinic at work.Aside from the amazing work from Dr Rodriguez an Paola there is the emotional support constantly provided by Maeva and other members of the team to guide you through this process. Specialmention for Maeva as I emailed her almost every day even with the most stupid questions! However she always happy to help! Thanks so much to this brilliant team and clinic!
We will be forever grateful to the entire IVF-Life Donostia team especially Naroa, who accompanied us throughout our journey. After 8 years of fighting, while our multiple punctures and transfers to France only failed, with each new attempt, we were offered the same protocol which did not work and caused cysts which we had to puncture, our very first attempt in Spain worked the first time. And what a welcome, what empathy, kindness, and availability! We were not used to so much kindness in France. This clinic on a human scale allowed us to feel accompanied, supported, and always confident, to have the feeling that our project was also important to them; which is the case. Each of the members of this institution is a professional in their field, they know what they are doing, and this ultimately allowed us to finally let go and let ourselves be guided. It's now almost a year since we made our first contact, and today we are expecting a child in the spring. We will never forget this laborious and ultimately happy journey to Donostia. A huge thank you for being able to make our dearest wish come true!
We chose IVF DONASTIA after several failures in another clinic. We were wonderfully received by the entire team who were very professional, competent, human and attentive, particularly Naora who accompanied us very well and the gynecologist who followed us. We had personalized follow-up and the doctors were able to perfectly target the problem. We have moved forward together on this long, difficult medical journey and the result is there: today we are expecting a baby who is doing very well.We would like to thank the entire team who showed patience and professionalism in carrying out this wonderful project.We wish future parents tenacity and we tell them never to lose hope: You go to the best medical team and the best clinic.
Following a 4-year Medically Assisted Reproduction journey strewn with pitfalls and unsuccessfully in France, we turned to IVF Donestia. From the start, we appreciated the optimism of the team and the speed of support. We will always remember this phrase “Having a child is a good time”. Between the first appointment in August 2022 and the transfer of the embryo in February 2023, all the stages took place with simplicity, gentleness and kindness. We particularly appreciated the professionalism and the felt experience of the entire team in terms of the precision of the protocol, the simple and rapid actions, the adaptation of the treatment according to the results, without forgetting the monitoring and availability of the team who have always been perfect, responding quickly to our questions and leaving no room for worry. Thank you to the whole team, and especially to our coordinator Cristina, feeling supported and surrounded has changed our experience of IVF. Today our little angel is with us. Thank you for allowing us to realize our dream. We can only recommend the friendly little IVF clinic in San Sebastián.
I chose IVF-Life Donostia for egg freezing. While this might be just part of a longer process, I could not have been happier with my choice so far.From my first inquiries to post-retrieval, I feel listened to, guided and never pressured. The process was very well adapted to my international lifestyle and I managed to get the prescreening tests in country A, ovarian stimulation in country B and retrieval in Spain. I started the process in mid-June and finished it in mid-September.The staff at the clinic, in my case Segolene for the administrative part, Maeva for the daily follow-up and Dr. Santolaria, was very professional and caring. I also particularly liked that all the staff I met were women.Highly recommended!
Our child project went perfectly with IVF! Very happy with the course followed: very attentive and attentive staff, top medical team! A big thank you to our coordinator, Maëva! We recommend the Clinic 100%! Unrivaled confidence!
Our daughter was born 3 months ago and I can't say anything other than that IVF had an impeccable follow-up with us. We tried twice and it didn't work, we took a 6 month break and the third time was the charm! During that wait I was very overwhelmed and I appreciated Dr. Pérez's empathy and the video call we made to explain the possibilities...The staff is super friendly and always attentive and with impeccable support and follow-up (I live in France) from a distance, thanks to Lucia our interlocutor for her patience and care in her responses!Thanks to all the team! A hug from the mothers of Ainhoa!
After years of failures in France, a first IVF in another clinic in Bilbao where we were more than disappointed, we decided to trust the Donosti IVF clinic for our last chance. And this time no regrets! What a great team! A warm, benevolent welcome and we immediately felt that everyone wanted to find a solution and help us! A huge thank you to Ségolène, our first contact when we contacted the clinic: what kindness! Always empathetic and positive just like Naroa with whom we exchanged throughout the rest of the course! Naroa has always been there for us, to answer our questions, our doubts... Of course, a huge thank you to the doctors who also followed us, doctors Rodriguez then Albisu. The nurses and laboratory technicians too, always welcoming and pleasant.Thanks to all of you we are expecting a happy event today and we are grateful to you for life. You are a great team!
Great welcome!!! Everyone was extraordinarily kind. I felt particularly surrounded and taken care of. The know-how is well established for me since the results were positive from the first IVF.
I went to this clinic for a double donation, delighted with the exchanges I was able to have with all the medical team. It's not always easy to be followed in this journey from a distance, but with a personal assistant like IVF offers, you feel less alone.I had my lucky star because my February transfer worked, I'm pregnant. Thank you very much because I would never have experienced this happiness without your help. I cross my fingers that it clings to the end. thank you for everything
Un parcours difficile mais facilité par la bienveillance et la gentillesse de mon assistante personnelle. Des qualités que l’ensemble de l’équipe a.Le suivi à distance est simple et rapide.L’accueil à la clinique est très bienveillant.Merci à toute l’équipe !
Clinique au top !Le suivi est très professionnel et la relation est extrêmement bienveillante.Tout au long de la préparation, mon interlocutrice directe a été très disponible et aidante que ce soit sur le suivi médical, administratif, ou d'organisation.Une fois sur place, je n'ai été en contact qu'avec des gens à l'écoute et positifs dans leur façon de dialoguer. Tout se passe sereinement malgré le stress dans lequel on peut se trouver le jour J.Et ça a marché ! Alors merci à eux.
Excellent clinic.Staff at the top.Warm welcome.Naroa put us at ease from the start and was perfect throughout our journey.We were lucky to get a positive result on the first attempt.The whole team is great.We do not regret having chosen this clinic. Many thanks ❤️
Very nice reception and remote monitoring, they don't leave you in the wild. As soon as you send an email they answer you immediately there is a real follow-up.I would particularly like to thank Doctor Ségolène for her patience and her availability, she listens, despite all the changes on my part she has remained neutral. A big congratulations 👏🏾 to the whole team 🙏🏾
We were well received. The support was quick. Doctors and assistants are efficient and very friendly. After the 3rd attempt and after 2 miscarriages, I am finally three and a half months pregnant. I almost didn't realize this last attempt but the doctor strongly advised me to do so.My pregnancy is going well so far.I recommend this clinic for its human and professional side.
Une super équipe très à l'écoute et géniale, toujours présente pour répondre à nos questions. Des échanges en français qui ont grandement facilités les démarches et enlevé une partie du stress lié au parcours. Équipe très professionnelle mais également humaine, rassurante et présente. Nous pouvons recommander ce centre sans restrictions. Merci encore à vous IVF Donostia de nous avoir aidé à réaliser notre rêve.
An absolutely extraordinary clinic and team. The welcome is warm and benevolent, you immediately feel at ease and in confidence. Personalized support really takes on its full meaning in this clinic where each moment is individualized. The team really puts all its know-how and empathy to enable us to carry out our project. Everyone speaks French very well, I had no difficulty with the language and everything is explained perfectly at each step. I would particularly like to thank Naroa and Dr PEREZ for their support. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to make their dream of becoming a parent (s) come true. Thank you again for everything everyone has done for me.
Personalized support allowed us to be reassured throughout the progress of our project. In addition to being surrounded by a team of highly qualified doctors and laboratory, we had a dedicated interlocutor who took care of us from start to finish, step by step ... She was our guardian angel, if benevolent and listening to us! We highly recommend this clinic for the professionalism but also the human side of the team.
We contacted the clinic in December 2020 and performed the first insemination the following February.The responsive support at a distance and in French really facilitates the journey whether by email or phone, we always find someone to answer our questions.Lucia, who accompanied us throughout our journey, has always been kind and reassuring and was there to welcome us on D-Day!A big thank you to all the staff of the clinic for their professionalism, their welcome and their kindness.We will welcome our twins at the end of 2021!
Nous sommes très heureuses d'avoir fait notre parcours de pma dans cette clinique.Toute l'équipe est vraiment super, à l'écoute, très compréhensive et on a vraiment eu un accompagnement mieux qu'on l'espérait. On toujours eu des réponses à toutes nos questions très rapidement, par téléphone, en visio et/ou par mail. Les retours suite à l'envoi par mail des examens réalisés en France ont toujours été très rapides.Le jour de l'insémination, nous avons vraiment été très bien reçues par toute l'équipe qui est vraiment bienveillante et rassurante. Tout le contexte est fait pour rendre ce moment spécial et magique.Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir notre petite fille en seulement 1 insémination.L'accompagnement à encore été vraiment super, même après l'insémination quand on avait d'autres questions ou interrogations.Nous sommes vraiment reconnaissantes et nous recommandons vivement cette clinique à toutes les personnes qui ont un désire d'enfant.
Très heureux d être passe par ivf DonostiaEquipe à l écoute particulièrement Lucia répond très vite aux mailsTout nous a été bien expliqueAccueil sur place au top d autant que nous avons du leur faire changer leur planning et ils ont fait le nécessaireSuivi au topJe suis actuellement enceinte de 4mois et je ne les remercierai jamais assez
Excellente clinique !Nous sommes venues en mars pour une FIV. L’équipe est très professionnelle et chaleureuse. Nous avons été très bien accueillies et conseillées. Naroa et Amaiur sont très réactives et sympathiques. Amaiur a toujours été disponible et devançait nos besoins. L’équipe médicale, infirmières, doctoresses et biologiste ont été exceptionnelles et à l’écoute. De plus, technologiquement les équipements de la clinique sont au top. Nous avons eu l’énorme chance et joie que le transfert fonctionne, cela va presque faire 3 mois que je suis enceinte grâce à cette clinique que je recommande de tout mon cœur et auprès de laquelle nous retournerons sans hésiter pour le deuxième même si la PMA est passée en France !
Nous avons été très bien accueilli à IVF donostia, et le suivi effectué par l’équipe a été irréprochable du début à la fin. Nous avons été accompagné pas à pas, avons pu poser toutes nos questions sans problème au fur et à mesure. Toutes les conditions ont été mises en œuvre pour que l’on se sente en confiance. Les médecins sont sérieux, un planning est présenté pour savoir où on va, chaque étape est expliquée, de même s’il y a un changement qui s’impose. Le moment du transfert n’a pas été mené comme un simple geste médical, car l’équipe en a fait un événement, une expérience humaine et émouvante, que les personnes présentes étaient heureuses de partager avec nous. Nous attendons aujourd’hui notre premier enfant et entrons dans le quatrième mois. Je recommande à ceux qui ne savent pas où aller et pour qui, au-delà du professionnalisme, l’aspect humain est important, d’aller chez IVF Donostia.
Very good experience!We are very happy to have chosen IVF as an assisted reproduction clinic, from the beginning we have been very well advised and the follow-up has been very professional as well as human and close.Our wishes have been fulfilled and we are currently expecting a baby to be born at the end of the year.We want to thank you from the bottom of your heart for your presence, kindness and availability.Take good care of our embryos that we will return shortly to enlarge the family 🙂
We weren't just lucky enough to have an insemination that worked the first time. We were also fortunate to be accompanied by a benevolent team, a human-sized clinic where everything is explained, where despite the covid we were received each time in the warmest way possible. Thank you again to you IVF, for this exceptional support!
Je suis très heureuse d'avoir choisi la clinique IVF Donostia. L'équipe a été tout de suite d'une grande gentillesse et très à l'écoute. Ils sont toujours disponible en cas de doute ou de question. Très arrangeants tout au long de la procédure je ne regrette vraiment pas mon choix et je recommande vivement. Ils ont été formidables.
Nuestra experiencia en IVF ha sido muy buena. Antes habíamos sido tratados en otros 2 centros de reproducción (Zuatzu y Quiron) y debo decir que no tienen nada que ver. Tanto en Zuatzu como en Quiron no nos gustó la forma en que nos atendieron, nos sentíamos más unos números (que no hacían nada más que soltar dinero) que personas. Nos faltó el trato personal y humano que luego sí tuvimos en IVF. Debo decir que en IVF también hubo momentos muy difíciles, cuando los tratamientos no salían bien o nos daban malos resultados, pero la actitud del personal nunca nos falló. Se tomaban el tiempo necesario para atendernos, nos sentíamos comprendidos y respetaban nuestras decisiones en cada momento. El proceso de reproducción es muy duro psicológicamente y el sentirte comprendido y respetado para mí no tiene precio. En nuestro caso hemos sentido todo el apoyo tanto por parte de las doctoras Estefanía y Elisa como por parte de las enfermeras Edurne y Andrea. Médicamente también tenemos la sensación de que están más adelantados que otros centros en los que nos trataron y otros que consultamos. Nos han hecho pruebas que en otros centros ni tienen opción a hacerte y por lo tanto pueden enfocarse mejor en cada caso.Resumiendo, pensamos que son la mejor opción tanto por el trato personal como por la parte profesional.
Sérieux et efficacité, un personnel compétent bâtiment très propre et ume merveilleuse expérience. Madame est enceinte à la première expérience, c est fabuleux. Je recommande cette Ivf DONOSTIA. Merci beaucoup
Une équipe incroyable : professionnalisme, écoute, bienveillance .. une vraie famille ! Un coup de cœur particulier pour mon ange gardien Lucia qui a été d'une extrême disponibilité, répondant à toutes mes interrogations (et dieu sait si j'ai pu l’embêter !). Prise de contact avec IVF en mai 2019, début du traitement en septembre 2019, février 2020 : je suis enceinte de 2 mois et cela au 1er essai (et j'ai 43 ans). Ils partent tous français ce qui aide considérablement. On sent une vraie prise en charge. Je vous recommande IVF à 1000% ! Je garderai contact avec cette équipe qui fait désormais partie de mon histoire et celle de mon enfant.
Nous sommes tellement heureuses d'avoir choisi la clinique IVF! Dès le premier entretien, nous avons été conquises par la gentillesse, l'écoute et la disponibilité de toute l'équipe. Que ce soit au niveau médical ou administratif, tout se fait dans une parfaite harmonie. Nous avons tout de suite été mises en confiance et nous n'avons pas été déçues. De plus l'avantage considérable est que toute l'équipe parle français, ce qui n'est pas négligeable pour comprendre tout le processus de la PMA. Après un parcours très compliqué et douloureux, nous avons été vraiment bien conseillées et prises en charge. Nous voulons vous remercier et vous dire que nous n'aurions pas pu espérer mieux. Chacune de vous a été parfaite et nous vous en sommes très reconnaissantes. Nous recommandons vivement cette clinique.
Excellent clinic with outstanding personnel. We met the team at IVF Donostia while temporarily relocated to the area due to work. The entire team was professional while compassionate, accommodating of our unique situation, and just awesome! We had previously worked with clinics in the US and in contrast we were truly impressed with the team at the IVF Donostia clinic. We recommend them without reservation. Feel free to PM us with your questions.
