Dr Thanos Papathanasiou

Dr Thanos Papathanasiou is the Chief Executive and Medical Director of Bourn Hall Fertility Clinic. He has assembled a highly skilled medical team that is dedicated to providing patient-centred care. His specialist interests are in the treatment of women with low ovarian reserve, recurrent miscarriage, and those who respond poorly to IVF stimulation drugs.

Prior to Bourn Hall, Dr Papathanasiou worked in the fertility and endocrine clinics of two large London hospitals within the area of PCOS and other female hormonal conditions. He also had a successful career in Greece as a recognised expert in the field, and published a book on PCOS. Through his training, he developed expertise in delivering a wide range of fertility services, from investigating sub-fertile couples to planning and executing individualised fertility treatments. He can also provide valuable insight into how to manage recurrent miscarriage, within or outside the context of IVF.

Dr Papathanasiou has pioneered a joined-up approach to fertility treatment, where the fertility specialists and GPs work together closely throughout the process. This approach with tailored advice and carefully monitored ovulation inductions have resulted in an increased success rate in pregnancies.
