EmbryoClinic

What EmbryoClinic does

EmbryoClinic is a privately held assisted reproduction clinic headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece, founded in 2013 by Dr. Elias Tsakos. The clinic operates a single integrated IVF unit delivering the full spectrum of fertility services: IVF/ICSI, IUI, fertility preservation (oocyte, embryo, and sperm cryopreservation), oocyte/sperm/embryo donation, gestational surrogacy, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A via NGS and PGT-M), endometrial and ovarian PRP infusion, and minimally invasive gynaecological surgery including Da Vinci robotic procedures. The embryology laboratory incorporates 24-hour time-lapse embryo monitoring combined with AI-assisted embryo selection, and the practice runs a proprietary in-house electronic patient record system (MedAZ) that won the Hellenic Business Innovation Award in 2022. The clinical team is led by Dr. Tsakos as Medical Director (FRCOG, 30+ years experience, 10,000+ cases across obstetrics, gynaecological surgery, and reproductive medicine) and Dr. Kanelina Bimpa as CEO, supported by an embryology lab director, senior clinical embryologists (including ESHRE-certified staff), obstetrician-gynaecologists, fertility midwives, and dedicated patient coordinators.

The clinic's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with a deliberate medical tourism focus, providing free initial Skype consultations, dedicated International and Balkan patient coordinator departments, and structured fresh and frozen oocyte programmes tailored to overseas patients requiring limited visits. Patients are sourced from 45+ countries, with Greece positioned as materially cheaper than UK and US alternatives. The revenue model is fee-for-service professional services billed per treatment cycle on a pay-as-you-go basis across multiple pricing tiers. Marketing is led by founder-driven thought leadership (100+ conference presentations, 33 peer-reviewed publications, 147 citations), content marketing across five social channels, and partnerships with fertility information platforms. Recent strategic activity includes the 1st Pelvic Floor Surgery Masterclass (May 2025) and the 2nd HERGS Scientific Meeting (April 2026), positioning the clinic and its founder at the centre of robotic gynaecological surgery education in Greece and Europe.
