About Dr Antony Lighten

I specialise in fertility treatments including IVF and fertility surgery. I have over 30 years of experience in treating patients with a broad range of fertility problems.

I am doubly qualified as both a medical doctor and a science PhD. With a strong science background, I base all of the treatments on the most up to date scientific evidence.

I studied medicine at Cambridge University Medical School. I have a PhD from Imperial College in London. I then trained as a Sub-Specialist in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery at the Oxford University Fertility Unit.

I was awarded the prize for the ‘most promising scientist’ for my research by the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology.

After many years of helping patients build their families, I welcomed my own baby, Kit, in 2019. I found myself in the humbling position of being a fertility patient myself. This experience has had a profound effect on my approach and inspired me to create my own complete fertility ecosystem at Minerva Fertility and Bond Day Hospital.

The team at Minerva Fertility and Bond Day Hospital will guide and support you throughout your fertility journey.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lighten for the past 18 months. We first consulted him for support with getting pregnant through IVF, but through his thorough investigations, he identified issues that no other doctor had even considered. The knowledge, care, and professionalism my husband and I received—not only from Dr. Lighten but from the entire team—have been truly exceptional. From the very first phone call, to being welcomed at reception, through scans, egg collections, and procedures, the level of care has been outstanding at every step. I cannot thank Dr. Lighten and his staff enough, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking compassionate and expert fertility care.

My recent visit was a truly wonderful experience. After Dr Lighten performed my endometriosis surgery, I was fortunate to fall pregnant, which already meant so much to me. At my second ultrasound today, everything was progressing beautifully with the baby, and I felt incredibly reassured and grateful. Dr Lighten’s care has been exceptional from the very beginning. I always felt listened to, supported and in very capable hands. His expertise, professionalism and compassionate approach made a significant difference in my journey. I cannot thank him and the team enough for helping make this possible.

Our recent visit was extremely positive and reassuring. Dr Antony Lighten took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions with patience, and made us feel genuinely heard and supported. Following my wife’s endometriosis surgery under his care, she was able to conceive naturally, which we are incredibly grateful for. The level of professionalism, expertise, and compassion shown throughout our journey made a very stressful time much easier, and we felt confident and cared for at every step.

Dr Lighten has seen me through multiple successful IVF children. He has approached each pregnancy with a high degree of care, professionalism and sensitivity. I cannot speak of a doctor with higher esteem. I trusted him with my IVF journey and now i am about to have my fifth child.
