About Mr Rehan Salim

Mr Rehan Salim, Consultant Gynaecologist and Expert in Reproductive Medicine, currently works at Medical Director of The Lister Fertility Clinic at The Portland Hospital.  He is highly experienced in all aspects of general gynaecology and has a keen interest in IVF. He works closely with patients to achieve high pregnancy rates and works with those who have had previous failures in fertility treatment. He is highly competent in performing a wide range of gynaecological procedures using minimally invasive techniques.

Mr Salim graduated with his medical degree from St Andrew's University & King's College London, before going on to do specialist training in reproductive medicine at UCL. After he completed his specialist training, he was appointed to Consultant at University College London Hospital. During his time there, he was the Lead for the Reproductive Medicine Unit, helping to establish the IVF Service there. Additionally, he also ran a private practice during this time assisting women with fertility and IVF at The Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health.

He is internationally renowned for his knowledge and skill, this was shown when John Hopkins International recruited Mr Salim to establish and lead the IVF centre in the Corniche Hospital in Abu Dhabi. He ran this unit until his return to the UK to take the Consultant position at St Mary's & Hammersmith Hospital where he led the IVF and Reproductive Medicine service.

Although our cycle was unsuccessful, I am glad we tried and so thankful for the advice and care we received from Mr Rehan Salim, despite some slight differences of opinion on PGT-A testing! He is an excellent and kind consultant, and I can see why his patients respect him greatly. I'm sad we cannot continue treatment at Lister, but hopefully we will receive similar care at our NHS clinic with our last remaining embryos and accept whatever the outcome, knowing we tried our best.

Mr Salim is an amazing doctor. We've been on a tough fertility journey and he looked after us with care and compassion. It's also clear that he follows the latest scientific developments and evidence and applies it in his practice, so we felt like we were getting the best care. He also brings light and some humour sometimes which was very much needed. He brings a great balance between an excellent practitioner and kind and considerate bedside manner.

I had a really positive experience with my consultant while discussing egg freezing. They were incredibly friendly, approachable, and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. They took the time to answer all of my questions clearly and patiently, making sure I understood everything. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I really appreciated how reassuring and supportive they were throughout the consultation. Excellent experience overall, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering egg freezing.

Mr Salim is without a doubt the best ivf consultant. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is an expert at explaining every aspect of the process in a clear, concise manner. He is such a lovely person who is very caring with the added talent of lightening the mood and bringing a smile to your face even in tough times. We highly recommend him.

Rehan was so lovely and patient. I was a horrible patient and he put up with a never ending stream of nervous questions before and during the process. He was confident, and I felt a bit more at ease knowing he had a good strategy, and managed to get a few more eggs each round that I did. I really have to reiterate the patience - both in terms of answering all my questions without batting an eyelid at how silly some of them may have been, and for being so nice when I was balling my eyes out at most interactions!
