We provide comprehensive IVF services , all under one roof, so patients don't need to shuttle from clinic to lab to the scan center. Our practice is restricted to treating infertile patients exclusively, and, we offer our patients the very best medical care - at affordable prices. We are India's first ISO 9001-2000 certified IVF clinic.
If you have done IVF at another clinic, have you got upset that a different doctor attended your procedures each time? Are you forced to talk to a number of different nurses, with no real direction ? Are you having trouble getting the feedback or explanations you need ? At Rotunda-The Center For Human Reproduction, all the treatment , including the consultation, all the ultrasound scans, egg collection and embryo transfers are done personally by either Dr Gautam Allahbadia or any members of his team. The buck stops with us - and we don't delegate any part of your delicate and critical IVF treatment to anyone else !
At Rotunda, we recognize the importance of the healthcare team functioning as a coordinated unit in the overall treatment plan. Each member of the Rotunda staff, from the physicians to the egg donor coordinator, plays a critical role in providing the high-level of reproductive healthcare that our patients have come to expect at Rotunda. We acknowledge the skills and contributions of each team member and support education, outreach and research to enhance our staff's knowledge and further the field of reproductive healthcare.
