warningWhat to watch out for at Vida - Centro de Fertilidade?

  • warning
    1. Communication Shortcomings
    Critical information, such as embryo non‑development, has been delivered via video calls without adequate preparation, leading to feelings of coldness and confusion. Patients also report contradictory updates during treatment.
  • warning
    2. Administrative and Billing Issues
    Unexpected charges for annual embryo freezing were issued despite biopsy results indicating aneuploid embryos. Appointment scheduling often results in long waiting periods of up to two hours, and delays are not communicated promptly.
  • warning
    3. Laboratory Performance Concerns
    Some patients observed low embryo development rates, with only one out of ten retrieved oocytes forming an embryo, and were required to pay extra for video monitoring of procedures, raising doubts about lab consistency.
