After 8 failed IVF Embryo transfers (included 2 miscarriage) in our home country Sweden, we decided to search for help outside of Sweden. My wife google a lot to find a clinic who specifies on miscarriage and infertility. Something was wrong with her body.. She finds Life clinic Athen where other Swedish people have visit and got helped to get a baby. We contacted the clinic at e-mail and they answer us fast. After a few weeks/months we visit the clinic. At the clinic my wife took a bloodtest. Through the bloodtests Dr. Dimitri saw that her immunsystem was extra strong so her body pushed away the embryo. We got medications from him and after a few weeks it was time for our 9 IVF transfer in Sweden (with medications from Dr. Dimitri). And it worked!! For the first time she gave birth to a baby!! It wouldn´t have worked without Dr. Dimitri and Eleannas help. If we want a second baby I will contact them directly.

I came to know Dr Dimitri after a long time struggle with infertility. He took his time to explain to me my problem and prescribed the correct medication that suited me. He also treated my immunity, which led to a successful pregnancy until I delivered my baby. I'm also grateful to Eleanna and the whole team. At Life Clinic one is treated very well. Dr. Dimitri always called me during the treatment to know my progress. Always smiling and finding a solution when medication did not work. For any woman going through infertility, please don't hesitate, but get in touch to Dr. Dimitri and his team. I'm now a happy mother. Thank you so much Dr. Dimitri and team.

Dr.Dimitris knows how to solve most of his patients problems. He has really been helpful and my family is happy with every advice I recommend this clinic Great customer service desk

So thankful for all the help provided by dr.Dimitri. After 7 miscarriages and an investigation showing nothing wrong with me I contacted LifeClinic and made plans to travel there for further testing. Happened to get pregnant before I could travel and dr.Dimitri has helped me from a distance, telling me what bloodtests to have and specified my medication accordingly. Finally had my baby and am 100% sure it’s thanks to him. Always easy to get in contact with, and the relief of finally someone hearing me and helping.. Beyond grateful! Highly recommend a consultation if you are experiencing multiple losses.

This is my very honest opinion of the service received. Based on my personal experience I would not recommend this dr to anyone. I worked with the clinic for 3 months after a relatively 'impressive' initial consultation and was appalled with lack of professionalism from a medical professional once the bill was paid( upfront payment was required) and I worked with a few. Critical blood results were missed, my questions not answered and many statements were contradictory. In one cycle we went from looking positive to how did you ever expect it to work? It was the most stressful period mentally and financially. Please save yourself time and money and find a real immunologist.

I got in contact with Dr Dimitri and Life Clinic after several miscarriges and a group of investigations in Sweden that couldn't give us an answer to the reason behind the miscarriges. Very quickly Dr Dimitri could help us understand that there might be immunological explanations behind the miscarriges and he suggested a treatment plan for that. Throughout the pregnancy I had contact with Dr Dimitri who followed the progress through blood test results and suggested changes in treatment depending on my body's reactions. It felt very safe and hopeful all the way! Our baby girl was born in March 2022. I am so grateful for the support and for giving us hope back after all the miscarriges. This kind of treatment wouldn't have been given to us in Sweden so this was really the solution that made a change for us. I can really recomend Life Clinic and Dr Dimitri.

Working with Dr. Dimitri for over two years has been life-changing. Unlike other doctors, he never gave up on me, always thinking outside the box and tailoring solutions to my specific needs. His holistic approach uncovered the root causes of my struggles, leading to success after five miscarriages and two failed IVFs. Thanks to his dedication, I now hold my long-awaited baby in my arms. Dr. Dimitri is not just a doctor; he's a true miracle worker, and I can't recommend him highly enough.

After six missed abortions over a period of two years we decided to get help from Life Clinic Athens. I cannot recommend them enough if you suspect you have immunological issues (I recommend checking out the book "Is you body baby-friendly?" to learn more about immunological issues during pregnancy). Dr Papanikolaou and the team are great and you feel very well taken care of. We were able to carry through our first pregnancy with their help and now have a healthy little girl. Life Clinic Athens made our biggest dream come true and we cannot thank them enough.

When I ddecided to try an IVF it was with a mix of hope and fear. I had tried an insemination with a private doctor in Athens and had found the experience somewhat traumatizing so when I set out to look for a clinic I asked a friend in Sweden for advice. She recommended LIFE clinic. The experience has been altogether different. Dr. Dimitri adviced me on how to prepare ahead of the IVF and was always available when I had questions during the months leading up to the IVF. I find this holistic approach very effective. The actual process proved to be quite amazing, which might sound strange, but the way everything was dealt with helped reduce a lot of otherwise stressful moments and made it an interesting procedure. I didn't need to worry about finding medicines last minute or to go to different places to have blood tests done. Everything is available at the clinic in the center of Athens. Dr. Dimitri and midwife Eleanna are truly dedicated to their work and as a patient you feel that. Plus they laugh a lot and that helps! My IVF resulted in pregnancy. I would recommend LIFE clinic to anyone without the shadow of a doubt!

It's hard to decide how to start writing this review about Dr Dimitri Papanikolaou and Life Clinic Athens. Perhaps it should be from the end of my IVF journey which is, at the same time, the very beginning of my new life since I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy just 10 days ago. That was my 6th IVF attempt. Before deciding to try with Dr Dimitri, I had been at two different clinics (not in Athensn). In total, I had been through 4 IVF failures there, a lot of frustration due to the rudeness of doctors and coordinators, incomplete consultations, etc, etc. Upset, broken, afraid, I started searching for a new clinic - this time with zero recommendations - relying only on Google and the little common sense and faith that had been left in me after so much pain and sorrow. I stumbled across Dr Dimitri's website and scheduled an online consultation, then another one - he didn't charge for any of them. He was honest, straightforward in a kind and empathetic way, rational but encouraging, and I felt that he was sincere so I decided to go with Life Clinic. I had a great experience with his team (midwives) who guided me through the formal part of the process, and then, in 2-3 months' time, I was in Athens for the first attempt with Dr Dimitri. We had 3 blastocysts, and decided to transfer 2 embryos which ended up being a biochemical pregnancy. However, I wasn't sad or desperate because, although another failed attempt, it was still an improvement and a sign that my body was opening itself to future success. I remained positive and hopeful also because Dr Dimitri analyzed what / why / how happened, shared his thoughts and suggestions with me, had full understanding of the little changes that I wanted to make (like that I wanted to do most of the preparations in my home country so he would have to coordinate with my doctor there, etc), and made a plan for our next attempt. I felt heard, supported, and included every step of the way. Allow me to add that, for this attempt, they even opened the clinic on Sunday just for me since my best day for the transfer was then. Some 4 months later, I was staring at the positive Beta HCG test. I have to admit that the Life Clinic Athens team often didn't have an easy time with me - fears have enveloped me and I would ask millions of annoying questions, but all of them were patient, kind, and understanding. The clinic is in a wonderful part of Athens, it's the whole building, designed in an elegant and sophisticated way, clean, neat and tidy, never too crowded, etc. Above all, it's Dr Dimitri, the midwife Sipridula, and the embryologist Economou who make it all happen. THANK YOU!

I have no words for this great man and scientist Dimitris Papanikolaou. Within 1 year of our first meeting, having an immunological problem which Mr. Papanikolaou found and now we have our baby. I will always be grateful.

Dr. Dimitri Papanikolaou at lifeclinic.gr has been imperative to our fertility success. He is by far the most professional, knowledgable and caring Fertility Doctors in Greece. After 8 years of IVF treatments he was able to find the perfect ivf/immune protocol that got us our baby. He also specializes in reproductive immunology which is hard to find in the United States. Lifeclinic.gr is not just another busy fertility clinic it is like a family. You get one on one attention with Dr. Dimitri at every appointment. He even monitored my pregnancy after I returned to the U.S. all the way until birth.

After 5 years we finally got a babyboy with help from Dr Dimitri. In sweden they just told us to sit tight and relax... the hormons and in the end, IVF didnt work but the doctors here didnt want to listen when I said that I thought my immunesystem was to aggressive. So a friend told mw about Dr Dimitri and life clinic and after we contacted him, we feelt understood and hopefull. We are so thankful for all help and support.

After many attempts and a few miscarriages, we were about to give up our desire to have children in Austria, but then we were recommended to Dr. Papanikolaou. Unfortunately, our experience with IVF doctors here was not too positive, so we were all the more surprised and happier by the approach and empathy of Dr. Dimitri. He was the only doctor who really took the time to research the possible causes of childlessness and based on this, he started the treatment. He always gave us professional advice and support and thanks to his help we got our beloved son with him in the first attempt! We can only warmly recommend and strongly advise Dr. Papanikolaou and not to waste too much time with "doctor-craftsmen", but to go straight to a holistic expert like him. From the bottom of our hearts many thanks, Dr. Dimitri!! Gernot & Birgit

He is not only a professional doctor, he is a kind person, full of knowledge and ready to help every single woman make her dream come true. His advices for my pregnancy gave me confidence and tranquility to overcome my difficulties. Kind employee ,beautiful clinic, Central location 💕

After several miscarriages we got in touch with Life Clinic and Dr Dimitri who gave us great help. This help we could not get in Sweden as there´s no knowledge about recurrent miscarriages or the immune system. We now have our beautiful baby girl and couldn´t be happier, all thanks to Dr Dimitri. I can definitely recommend to get in touch with Life Clinic and get their professional help.

I truly with all my heart recommend Life Clinic and Dr Dimitri. After many years of trying to get pregnant with repeatedly heartbreaking miscarriages, he helped us fulfill our dream of becoming parents by discovering my immune problem that no one had seen before. Dr Dimitri and Eleanna are wonderful warmhearted and caring people and this clinic is so far from some other clinics where only money counts as soon as the papers have been signed. Dr Dimitri has a great knowledge in immunological problems and we directly felt a great confidence in him. Thank's to him we now have a six weeks old wonderful little son. Lot's of love from two happy parents in Sweden.

After 12 years of wish for a child Dr. Dimitri made our dream come true. We did several IVFs all around the world (Austria, United States, and Taiwan). I got pregnant twice, but had two miscarriages. Already after the first miscarriage I suspected an immune problem, and insisted on testing. The test result was an increased number of natural killer cells, but the only thing the clinic in Austria gave me, was intralipid infusions every four weeks after the transfer. There were no blood tests to observe my immune system. So I got pregnant, but had a miscarriage in the 10th week. After that, I was convinced that I could never maintain a pregnancy, and since we had still three embryos left, my husband and I opted for surrogacy in the US. We found a wonderful surrogate mother, but unfortunately the embryos were broken when thawed in the US. So I flew to California for a natural cycle IVF, but there was no viable embryo. So we needed to give up the surrogacy process. After two years, we had moved to Taiwan and did another IVF there. This time we had two blastocysts and had them tested, because I wanted to make sure that it was my immune system and not the embryos why I could not maintain a pregnancy. So we transferred the genetic healthy embryo. I insisted on intralipid infusions, but again nobody observed my immune system. So I had another miscarriage in the 10th week. Finally, after doing research on the internet, I found Dr. Dimitri and Life Clinic in Athens. The moment I saw his immune specialization, I knew that if somebody could help me to get pregnant, it was him. I first went there in September 2018. My first impression was very positive. Dr. Dimitri was not like all those doctors at the other IVF clinics who seemed to care only about money. He welcomed me warmly and gave me hope. He did the Chicago blood test, and planned my immune therapy accordingly. It took me several attempts to finally get good blastocysts. Finally, in November 2019, we got two, and transferred both in the same cycle. And thanks to Dr. Dimitri’s perfect immune therapy I got pregnant. During that year of visits in the clinic, Dr. Dimitri and Eleanna became like family to me. They always encouraged me and had time for me. Dr. Dimitri observed my blood values during the whole pregnancy and adjusted the immune therapy accordingly. I just gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and plan to come back in one year for a baby girl. Without Dr. Dimitri, I would not even have dreamed of one child, but he gave me the certainty that I could get pregnant and get a healthy baby. He is a real genius. I warmly recommend him to every couple with immune problems. Thank you Dr. Dimitri! I will be eternally thankful to you. You made my dream come true. Julia

A few weeks ago I gave a birth to a healthy full term baby boy. The words cannot express how thankful we are to Dr Dimitri and his team for the life of this miracle boy. I had contact with Dr Dimitri and Eleana by emails or phone and every time they were responding promptly. I had struggled with unexplained infertility and miscarriages for 8 years. I had done different tests and all the results were normal. I had done 4 IVFs in my local clinic with no positive results. Then I had heard about reproductive immunology and specifically Dr Dimitri's team. I contacted Life Clinic and organised an online consultation. Dr Dimitri analysed my previous results and history. He was kind, listened and suggested the treatment. We agreed on monitoring, ovarian support plan and later an IVF treatment. The prescriptions for IVF were digitally written and I was able to get them from my local pharmacy. I had started the IVF cycle and soon I found out I was pregnant naturally. It was such a big shock. I immediately contacted Dr Dimitri and he changed my IVF protocol to pregnancy monitoring. He prescribed me an immune protocol, which could be administered in my local IVF clinic. Also through the whole pregnancy I emailed him results of my blood tests fortnightly to monitor my immune system and adjust my immune medications. Overall I had a positive experience with an amazing outcome and can recommend Life Clinic.

Dr. Dimitri is a good and caring doctor. He always takes time to discuss the process, which is much appreciated. His staff is pleasant. The clinic is located in a central area that can be accessed easily whether by public transportation or taxi. There's also a parking garage across the street if you drive. Good experience overall.

As I reach the end of my maternity leave, I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Dr. Dimitri and Life Clinic Athens. After 7 years of infertility, 4 doctors, 1 surgery, 7 IVF cycles, 9 embryo transfers and 2 miscarriages, we were desperate. I knew in my gut something was wrong with my immune system which was preventing implantation and then maintaining a pregnancy. I found Life clinic through an internet search and cannot be more thankful. Dr Dimitri listened openly, provided his advice but most importantly supported what we wanted to do. I never felt pressurised to go a route which didn`t suit me. Dr Dimitri completed my immunology assessment, defined the treatment plan and supported me remotely in FET preparation and then through the successful pregnancy. I completed blood tests locally, shared results by email and received feedback on next steps and treatment plan. Dr Dimitri and his team were incredible support and I wholeheartedly recommend them especially if remote support is required- he is the reason I have my miracle daughter in my arms.

Our infertility case was difficult. After 5 IVF and 3 FET cycles and overall 16 embryos transferred during these treatments the results were devastating - all ended with implantation failure. Furthermore, before treatments for infertility I had 2 pregnancies from natural cycles ended in miscarriages in 7th and 6th week. Having an autoimmune disease, I knew that my immunity had a strong impact, but none of the doctors from clinics in Serbia and Czech Republic where I had treatments did not know how to deal with it. Reading the book from Dr Beer “Is Your Body Baby-Friendly” and further internet searches led me to Dr Dimitri. Initial online consultations with Dr Dimitri were so detailed, I have never experienced such dedication to collect patient information. After that we went to Athens for the first examination and blood tests (Leukocyte Antibody Detection Panel, DQ Alpha Genotype, TH1/TH2 Intracellular Cytokine Ratios, NK Cell Inhibition Panel). My partner and I had a partial match of DQ Alpha Genotype and based on that and other results Dr Dimitri recommended an immune support plan and an ovarian support plan. In our IVF at Life Clinic Athens we transferred one blastocyst of an average quality and sent the remaining 3 for PGT-A testing. For the first time we had an embryo implanted in the IVF cycle, but Beta hCG was not increasing as expected. Although we did not succeed, we saw the first sign of improvement - the implantation. We have also faced the harsh reality that being 40 years old my fertility was on a rapid decline resulting in 2 aneuploid and one mosaic embryo from PGT-A test. But we continued our efforts with guidance from Dr Dimitri. In the next attempt we decided to start immunological treatment earlier and continued with ovarian support. Surprisingly this led to pregnancy in the natural cycle. Having positive Beta hCG was just a beginning. We went once again in Athens during the critical phase - 8th week of pregnancy to have adequate infusions needed to calm down my immunity. Pregnancy monitoring continued online through a 2-week blood tests and adjustment of the medications and infusions. We are immensely thankful to Dr Dimitri for all support and consultations during pregnancy. We would not reach this without his expertise in finding the right treatment for my immunological condition. He has a truly personalized approach with patients and a dedicated team at Life Clinic Athens. Just one year after we started our treatment at Life Clinic Athens we got our baby boy Luka.

I really recommend this clinic and Dr Papanikolau if you have fertility problems linked to your immune system. After 10 failed rounds of IVF at home, with several early misscarriages, it took on the first try in Athens! I am sittning here with my 13 week old baby and am forever grateful for all the help, and really happy that I took the step and travelled to Life Clinic in Athens for help!

Whatever we say is a little about everything that Dr. offered us. Papanikolaou and the Life Clinic team. The professionalism and humane approach throughout the pregnancy and during the delivery process, gave us the necessary calm and confidence that everything will be fine. The kindness and reliability of the doctor and all the staff of the clinic are the elements that stood out from the first moment of our acquaintance. Specifically, Dr. Papanikolaou provided a great foundation in the detail of our case, personalizing his approach to our own data. With total dedication and exceptional care he created for us a fantastic experience overall. We cannot fail to mention the very important help we received from the Life Clinic team, and especially from Alexandra, who prepared us for the birth and also for the arrival of our child. He stood by us in whatever we needed even in the first days after giving birth, and guided us step by step in whatever problem we encountered. We highly recommend Life Clinic. Dr. Papanikolaou and his team have remained in our hearts. Thank you so much for everything!
