About Dr Simone Rofena

Dr Simone Rofena is a highly experienced consultant in Obstetrics, Gynaecology and female and male infertility. He graduated from the school of medicine in Milan and specialised in Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Medicine and Endocrinology at San Raffaele University Hospital, a world renowned scientific and research institute.  He also worked in the Andrology and Gynaecology Reproductive Unit at San Paolo University Hospital in Milan, a national centre of excellence for male infertility, under the mentorship of Professor Giovanni Colpi, a pioneer in male infertility research and treatment.    
Dr.Rofena has a particular interest and expertise on very complex fertility cases, most of which he manages to resolve successfully and he regularly receives referrals from  clinics and colleagues all over the UK and abroad. Over the years he has increasingly become a sought after point of reference for those couples with repeated IVF failures and recurrent miscarriages.

Other important areas of his research are women with low ovarian reserve, poor responders to ovarian stimulation and patients with premature ovarian failure (POF), on whom he applies innovative protocols and the latest cutting edge techniques and advancements in the field. With over 25 years of experience, he is widely regarded as one of the best fertility specialists in Europe.

In 2013, Dr Rofena moved to London where he successfully held  the position of Senior Consultant in Reproductive Medicine and Medical Director at the Zita West Clinic, one of the most specialised and scientifically advanced fertility centres in the UK. The clinic was particularly renowned for having been the first holistic fertility clinic in the UK, understanding the importance of acupuncture, nutrition, hypnotherapy and counselling for a successful outcome and integrating these services with outstanding medical care. Thanks to this unique, innovative and visionary approach which has now become the model to follow for many other fertility centers, the Zita West Clinic has been able to achieve and maintain outstanding live birth rates throughout many years.

From September 2025 Dr.Rofena has set up his own private fertility practice through which he is proud to offer to his patients his vast expertise and knowledge.

Dr Rofena is also a specialist in the field of Reproductive Immunology, which is successfully applied when necessary to the treatment of recurrent IVF failures and recurrent miscarriages (after natural conception or IVF), through individually tailored immune modulation programmes. He also has a special interest and expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and fertility preservation (eggs and sperm freezing).

Dr Rofena has authored several publications in leading medical
journals and is often invited to present at national and international
conferences. He is an active member of the British Fertility Society (BFS), the
European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).

In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field and having helped hundreds od couples achieve their dream of parenthood between Italy and the UK, he has also been awarded the prestigious membership to the Italian Medical Society of Great Britain.

Dr Rofena is able to provide expert care in a wide range of conditions and treatments, including assisted reproductive technologies (IVF, ICSI, IUI, ovulation induction, egg and sperm freezing), male infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), recurrent miscarriage and pregnancy loss, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), menopause and early menopause, gynaecological examinations and pelvic ultrasounds, endometrial polyps and fibroids, cervical cancer screening, sexual and reproductive health,  preconception and pregnancy care, early pregnancy ultrasounds.

Dr. Rofena is not only an excellent doctor but also a genuine person, with a lot of experience and empathy. He has helped us during our IVF journey, we are now pregnant with our 2nd baby and couldn't be happier.

Words cannot express how thankful we both are to Dr. Rofena for all his support throughout our journey. Her professionalism, compassion, and genuine care go beyond anything I have experienced before. His bedside manner is truly impeccable. We went from receiving what felt like a hopeless prognosis from a clinic in our home country to meeting Dr. Rofena who was willing to take on a difficult case like ours and never made us feel that hope was lost. A very special thank you to Dr. Rofena for believing in us, for giving us the opportunity to keep fighting, and most importantly, for giving us hope when we had almost lost it. We will always be incredibly grateful for everything he has done for us.

We feel so lucky to have been recommended Dr Simone Rofena who is very popular in Malta as he has helped many other couples from our country to have a baby. We were told we could not have children with our condition and that we should have considered egg donation as the only option for us. Dr Rofena examined our situation and previous failed attempts (we had 8 between Malta and other clinics in the UK) and he developed a particular treatment protocol which we never had before and was particularly designed to help with the specific issue we had. We were successfully pregnant after the second embryo transfer and I gave birth in May to our beautiful daughter. Thanks Dr Rofena for completely changing our lives and to have given us hope when we completely lost it, we will be forever grateful.

I was recommended Dr. Rofena by a friend who had a similar journey to us. We experienced 2 natural miscarriages and 4 IVF failures before seeing Dr.Rofena and honestly we were about to give up and to consider egg donation. Dr Rofena gave us a very thorough consultation to start with, analysing all our history and previous tests results. he then recommended some immune investigations and follwoing the results, a bespoke immune modulation treatment plan. His kindness and professionalism throughout the whole process were exceptional and we could have not felt more supported. As a result, not only we were pregnant after first IVF attempt with him but for the first time we managed to overcome 12 weeks and we are actually at 25 weeks and waiting for a baby boy! We cannot recommend Dr. Rofena enough and we wish we could have found him sooner!

I am Maltese, and I went to a private clinic in Malta where, after three egg stimulation cycles that yielded no embryos for transfer, I was told that I would not be able to have a biological child. Dr. Simone managed to give me embryos for transfer, and now I am pregnant!

Fertility is an incredibly tough journey. It's so important to have doctors who make you feel calm and at ease. Dr Rofena was great in this way. He was also super pragmatic and helped me distinguish between expensive and untested therapies and those I actually needed. Would recommend

Dr. Rofena supported us throughout the full pregnancy. He actively and kindly encouraged us to try new treatments and took care of all our needs along several months. He was always available for an in-person meeting and also for email communications. His guidance has been extremely valuable and his expertise provided us incredible support during the early pregnancy and until the end of the journey. We warmly recommend Dr Rofena’s services to anyone who are looking for an expert and reliable professional who could assist before and during the pregnancy. We are very happy that we met Dr Rofena in our journey. He really made an impactful difference and helped us having our little baby who is now with us.

We had struggled for 6 years and had numerous IVF cycles, countless transfers, and sadly some miscarriages, before we saw Dr Simone. We couldn’t understand why things were not happening for us. Dr Simone gave us hope and helped us to explore why this was the case. He listened empathetically, explained things fully, and gave us options to move forward and try again - but this time armed with more information and a tailored approach. We know that without a doubt, Dr Simone’s knowledge and expertise helped us to achieve our dream and become parents, which finally happed in Jan 2026. We were very close to giving up before speaking to Dr Simone and giving it one last go. So it’s hard to put into words how very grateful we are to Dr Simone. Thank you doesn’t quite feel enough, but him and his team at Zita West/Care London truly changed our lives in the most beautiful way and made our dreams come true.

Following previous unsuccessful IVF attempts, we were fortunate to come under the care of Dr Rofena and have since achieved a healthy pregnancy twice. We now have a little boy and a positive IVF outcome from a recent frozen embryo transfer with Dr Rofena. Throughout the journey, we felt guided, reassured, and genuinely cared for. We are incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Rofena to anyone seeking compassionate and expert fertility care.
