About Guy’s Assisted Conception Unit
Experts in fertility care
Our specialists at Guy’s Assisted Conception Unit have been advancing fertility medicine for over 30 years . We are internationally renowned as pioneers in this field and care for over 2,000 patients each year.
We offer the full range of fertility care, including assisted conception (IVF, ICSI and IUI), fertility preservation (embryo and sperm storage), embryo selection and implantation, and pre- implantation genetic testing (PGT). We only draw on precise, evidence-based approaches to best support our patients with personalised care and never offer fertility treatment ‘add-ons’, unlike other providers.
We pride ourselves in delivering the highest standards. We have received a rating of 5/5 from our patients as well as the Human Fertilisations and Embryology Authority, the UK’s fertility regulator.
Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT)
Our PGT service is available to anyone at risk of having a child with an inherited (genetic) or chromosomal disorder, such as sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s disease.
We test for over 300 genetic conditions at our state-of-the-art facilities, with our PGT service being the largest in the UK. We are proud that our centre has helped over 1,000 babies being born following PGT at Guy’s Hospital.
Fertility counselling
Every fertility journey is different, and we understand the emotional challenges and the toll this can have on our patients’ health and wellbeing. We include fertility counselling as a standard part of treatment packages, to help patients feel more confident in decision-making.
Fertility care for everyone
We welcome all patients who wish to explore fertility care. In addition to heterosexual couples, our specialists regularly see same-sex couples and individuals seeking to use donor eggs or sperm to conceive. We are also experts in transgender fertility care and fertility preservation for cancer patients and those looking to delay having children until later in life.
Multidisciplinary health services
Our private fertility services are delivered as part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Specialist Care. This means that our patients benefit from the expertise and excellence of 5 world-leading hospitals.

Dr Julia was our consultant and most appointments are done with her who greeted us at the waiting room. We were always happy with her service. She's friendly, honest, and to the point. Her knowledge is amazing. After 2 failed NHS cycles we wanted to give Guy's hospital one last try but private and chose Dr Julia. We were so glad we did.
After experiencing poor - but ultimately successful - care as an NHS patient in 2022, I returned in 2025 as a private patient to pursue IVF treatment with the frozen embryo's I had stored. There were countless ways in which I felt let down throughout my treatment, but some of the stand out failures include: Being prescribed the wrong medication Lack of communication - I had to chase for confirmation of whether my transfer were happening, the day of. Being billed for more than I should have Waiting 90 mins for an appointment on one occasion No real review following failed treatment cycles No acknowledgement after notifying the clinic of a miscarriage Poor guidance on at-home ovulation testing ahead of natural transfers After requesting historic records for my new clinic, I was sent documents which included the confidential information of another patient. Private treatment at Guys is called 'personal care' which is the opposite of what I experienced, and it was only after switching to a new clinic - where the care has been worlds apart - that I realise how terrible my time at Guys was.
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and your feedback has been shared with the team. If you would like further support, you may contact NHS PALS Service at gstt.palsvce@nhs.net.
Staff are very welcoming. And they assisted me thoroughly during my IVF treatment. One of the best of the rest.
I had an amazing experience with the hospital. It is always very clean and maintained to an excellent standard. The staff are caring, professional, and always happy to help, which made every visit reassuring and pleasant.
I've been trying to book an initial appointment for last two weeks. I've been emailed times slot for appointment but then we're told that the time slot was taken by another patient. I've called numerous times. But there is no one picking up the phone. Emails are not responded to in timely manner either. I don't know what to think of you're services and what your staff are like because you're team are not there to take calls or email back when we need them. Will you're doctors be the same? Would it be that difficult to get a consultation with them. I'm very disappointed with your reception staff!

A wonderful, friendly, warm and professional team of people. Would highly recommend!
The hospital is always clean and wait time is almost zero!
I am very grateful for the support of the wider team throughout our journey. Everyone was kind, professional, and consistently supportive, which made a challenging process feel much more manageable. A special thank you to Nurse Magnolia for her incredible kindness and reassurance during my embryo transfer — it meant so much. We truly felt well cared for at every stage and are deeply appreciative of the whole team.
