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.

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.

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.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr Simone Rofena throughout my IVF journey. He was incredibly kind, considerate, and genuinely caring at every step, which made a difficult and emotional process feel much more manageable. What stood out most was his attentiveness and the way he took the time to listen and support me, both medically and emotionally. I always felt in safe hands. I’m also very grateful that the treatment was successful on the first attempt, which I know is not always the case. I truly believe his expertise and compassionate approach made a significant difference. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through IVF.
Dr Simone was absolutely incredible throughout our entire IVF cycle. From our very first consultation, he took the time to explain every step of the process clearly and compassionately, ensuring we never felt overwhelmed or in the dark. He was open to all of our questions — no matter how big or small — and always made us feel heard and valued as patients. His expertise and calm reassurance during what can be an emotionally and physically demanding journey made all the difference. There were moments of uncertainty along the way, but Dr Simone's professionalism and warmth gave us the confidence to keep going. We are absolutely overjoyed to share that our journey resulted in the arrival of our beautiful baby boy. We truly believe that his dedication, skill, and genuine care played a huge part in making our dream of parenthood a reality. We cannot recommend Dr Simone highly enough. He is simply outstanding, and we will be forever grateful.
There are no words to express my gratitude towards Dr Simone Rofena. He is exceptional! My case turned out to be really difficult because my uterus was damaged with a procedure carried out for the removal of a large fibroid. Although Dr Rofena had nothing to do with all this, he was there, he helped us, not only physically with regards to the IVF procedure, but also emotionally. We found his help and it was thanks to him that we met another exceptional Professor Dr Saridogan who helped with the reconstruction of the uterus and thus was also a key player in having a successful IVF procedure. I strongly recommend Dr Simone not only for his professionalism, but also for his approach with patients. He goes beyond and does his best to have a successful IVF procedure!
Dr Simone is a brilliant Doctor, he made sure that we understood every step in the process and made sure we felt taken care of throughout. We now have the most beautiful, healthy and happy son to thank him for.
After trying to conceive for 1.5 years, we finally found Dr Simone Rofena, who was recommended to us by our acupuncturist Eva Stecz. All of our previous test results had come back normal, and we were struggling with what was labelled as “unexplained infertility.” Dr Rofena took the time to really talk through our history with us and explore what might be happening, rather than rushing straight into IVF. He carefully explained alternative options first, making sure we fully understood every step and felt comfortable with the decisions we were making. Throughout the entire journey, he was incredibly professional, informative, and empathetic. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how small, and we genuinely felt that he cared about us as people, not just as patients. We always knew we were in trusted hands. When we did eventually proceed with IVF, including a frozen embryo transfer, Dr Rofena was with us every step of the way and personally carried out the procedure himself. We are so grateful to say that our very first embryo transfer was successful, and we are now 14 weeks pregnant, with embryos remaining for the future. We cannot thank Dr Rofena enough for his expertise, compassion, and support, and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone navigating fertility challenges.
Dr Simone Rofena is both lovely and highly professional. He responds to emails promptly and consistently offers practical, thoughtful solutions. For the first time in years of dealing with doctors in London, I truly felt heard and reassured! Italians in London, don’t waste time with other places.
Dr Rofena is very knowledgeable, experienced and most importantly caring professional. He is really supportive and kind person. Also he speaks in very simple language explaining couple about the stages of treatment, how it works and what to expect. Wish everyone best of luck with kind support of Dr Rofena.
I highly recommend the Zita West Clinic for its holistic approach and truly personal care. The nursing team was consistently available and supportive, always ready to answer questions and offer reassurance. I’d especially like to commend Dr. Simone, whose kindness, attentiveness, and unwavering support made a profound difference to our journey. He was not only approachable and easy to contact, but also deeply invested in helping us find the right solution for our specific fertility challenges. We never felt rushed—he showed great patience and understanding as we navigated the emotional and practical decisions that ultimately led us to our baby.
Great expertise, professionalism and kindness!
