What others say…

It is often helpful to read about the experience of other patients when looking for a fertility specialist. Here is what some of Medfem Fertility Clinic’s patients say about Dr Rodriques:

“Four years ago I had a kidney transplant, and the chances of me ever having my own baby were zero to none. With one of my check-ups with my nephrologist, we spoke about me having a baby. My professor then referred me to (as he said) “the best Doctor I know about – he is an absolute genius”. So we came to know Dr Rodrigues and his wonderful team at Medfem. After a long process of finding a surrogate and going through all the legal issues, Dr Rodrigues and his team did their magic and our little “BIG” miracle was born. I will forever be thankful to Medfem and the caring, helpful and amazing people that work there.” – Karen de Villiers

“Dreams do come true!! Dr Rod had a hand in bringing 8 children into our family collectively!! I cannot recommend him high enough. Thank you for what you do!! – Cathy Nel
“We truly are blessed to have these precious boys in our lives. Without Dr Rodrigues this would not have been possible and by the grace of God we now have 3 little characters in our house. Thanks to Medfem Fertility Clinic and all staff especially Dr R, Nurse Cathy and Hanli this would not have been possible. May all others that are trying to conceive be blessed, and enjoy your time with the Medfem Family!!! – Kirstin Daly

“We were blessed with two miracles after 4 years of trying to conceive. Dr Rodrigues was our Knight in shining armor. When I had lost all hope he kept me focussed and positive which kept me going. When I was sure pregnancy was an impossible dream he assured me it WOULD happen. And he was right. Thanks to Medfem I was blessed with my twins in July 2012. They have made my life complete. And worth living. And I thank Medfem and Dr Rod for getting us there!!! I am forever grateful xxx” – Cathy Nel

“Dr Rod and the Medfem team – after a 4 year long journey of heartache and endless hope, we were blessed to welcome our beautiful son Joshua into the world. 15 months now and such a wonderful little man! Thank you for helping us get there!” – Margeaux Kemp Groenewald

“Thank you to Dr Rodrigues and all the other Dr’s and staff. Your professionalism, compassion, kindness and expertise made a difficult journey bearable. Mark and I are forever grateful for the role you played. Riley is our perfect little miracle. It’s been the best 7 months of our life. You a blessing to us all. Thank you for all the hard work and for doing what you do. You rock!” – Karen Apker

“Thank you Medfem Fertility Clinic – Dr Rodrigues for believing in me and making sure that baby Emily became a reality after a very long emotional journey! You have set me free from doubt and blessed my husband and I with most incredible gift! We are eternally grateful.” – Caroline Davis?
