Dr. Gönenç IVF Clinic is a doctor-led fertility center in Istanbul's Bahçelievler district. It operates as a specialized unit within Medical Park Bahçelievler Hospital, providing hospital-based IVF care. The clinic focuses on individualized treatment and transparent medical decisions for patients seeking assisted reproduction.
Care Standards and Safety
The unit emphasizes safe clinical practices and ethical patient management. Treatment follows a structured workflow with pre-treatment evaluations and continuous monitoring. Medical decisions rest on objective clinical findings. Specialists explain risks clearly rather than applying fixed protocols. They discuss success realistically by reviewing age, diagnosis, and embryo development.
Reproduction and Infertility Treatments
Specialists manage various fertility challenges through medical and surgical interventions. Each case begins with a thorough infertility evaluation, which may include hormone and semen analysis. The team coordinates care from initial ovarian stimulation through embryo development and post-transfer follow-up.
The clinic offers several assisted reproductive techniques:
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) using controlled laboratory conditions.
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) to assist fertilization when sperm quality is a factor.
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) to allow for better uterine preparation.
- Artificial Insemination for less complex fertility needs.
- Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to screen embryos for chromosomal conditions before transfer.
For patients requiring uterine preparation, the clinic performs hysteroscopy. Surgeons use this method to visualize and assess the uterine cavity. They can identify and treat issues like adhesions through hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, improving pregnancy chances.
Fertility Preservation and Specialized Care
Individuals can choose egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) to preserve future reproductive options. This involves a stimulation phase of around 9 days. Specialists then perform a 10-minute egg retrieval under light anesthesia. All cryopreserved materials are maintained in the clinic's monitored laboratory.
The medical team consists of two experienced specialists:
- Dr. Ali İhsan Gönenç focuses on reproductive medicine and personally supervises treatment planning. He earned his medical degree from Ankara University.
- Dr. Ayşet Jane Özcan has over 20 years of experience in women's health and obstetric care. She trained at Istanbul University.
These specialists handle patient evaluation and clinical decisions directly. Their work is integrated into the hospital's broader infrastructure for complete medical support.
Support for International Patients
The clinic coordinates care around international visitors' travel schedules. This support begins with pre-arrival medical planning and continues through follow-up after patients return home. Remote consultations are available via video call, so patients can discuss results without traveling.
A multilingual team supports communication in several languages:
- English
- Russian
- Arabic
- German
- Turkish
Medical reports and records are sent via email for continuity of care globally.
