The Best Fertility Specialist in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa

Medfem’s Candidate: Dr Nicholas Clark

People looking for a fertility specialist in Sandton often ask us: “Who is the best fertility specialist in South Africa?”.

Before we answer, let’s first define the concepts.

Fertility: the ability to conceive children.

Specialist: a person highly skilled in a particular field; who possess detailed knowledge and/or is involved in the study of this specific field.

In a fertility specialist, then, you are looking for a person who is highly skilled and has detailed knowledge of fertility issues and studies the field of fertility. There are, fortunately, many highly skilled and successful fertility specialists in South Africa, particularly in Sandton and in Johannesburg, the economic hub of the country.

As far as the “best” is concerned, some of the criteria one could consider is whether a fertility specialist is qualified and registered; has extensive experience and an encouraging success rate; is up-to-date with the latest fertility advances and research; has facilities with state-of-the-art equipment and extensive medical support; and takes a supportive, caring approach.

At Medfem Fertility Clinic, we have ample reason to believe that we have four very strong candidates to be the answer to the often-repeated question:

“Who is the best fertility specialist in South Africa?”. They are:

Experience

Another important factor to consider when selecting the best among various fertility specialists is their experience.
Dr Clark practiced as a gynaecologist for over 15 years, and joined Medfem Fertility Clinic in 2012 as a director, bringing with him extensive experience in general gynaecology and complicated obstetrics, gained across the world – including the UK, New Zealand and Australia.

Dr Clark worked with Professor Lord Robert Winston, a pioneer of his time in the field of fertility and particularly IVF.

As part of the reproductive specialist team at Medfem Fertility Clinic, Dr Clark also has access to more than 100 years of collective experience diagnosing and treating infertility and the combined knowledge and innovation of the entire team, including his fertility specialist colleagues, embryologists, theatre staff, lab technicians, pharmacists and nursing personnel. Furthermore, during their more than 30 years of practice at Medfem Fertility Clinic, the team has performed an average of 1,100 IVF treatment cycles a year – that’s experience spanning more than 33,000 IVF cycles!

Expertise

Give preference to fertility specialists with proven expertise in their field.

Dr Clark’s expertise lies in fertility, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) reproductive surgery, fertility preservation and problems traversing recurrent pregnancy failure and fertility. An active interest in the role of complementary therapies and how they might impact on success in the management of fertility is a current pursuit.

At Medfem Fertility Clinic, a centre of excellence in research and development (R&D), Dr Clark is also part of the team developing new procedures and achieving scientific breakthroughs, while receiving international acclaim for the results and insights gleaned from their research.

Success Rate

The success rates achieved by fertility specialists will also provide you with an indication of their skill to help you build a family.

Dr Clark and his fellow fertility specialists at Medfem Fertility Clinic achieve among the highest the pregnancy rates in the nation, well above the South African clinical pregnancy rates per embryo transfer for IVF and ICSI.

Dr Clark and the entire team at Medfem Fertility Clinic is very proud of their high rate of pregnancies and live births per transfer, and to have assisted in over 16,000 successful pregnancies!

Facilities

The best fertility specialist can be expected to have access to world-class facilities, advanced equipment, a range of treatment options and a committed and qualified support team of medical and nursing professionals including embryologists, theatre staff and pharmacists, operating from a clinic registered as an accredited IVF (In-vitro Fertilisation) unit with the Southern African Society for Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecological Endoscopy (SASREG).

As one of the fertility specialists at Medfem Fertility Clinic, Dr Clark has access to purpose-built facilities, with consultation offices, exam rooms, state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, a surgical suite and a pharmacy specialising in fertility medicine, all in one convenient location. In addition, he is supported by a highly qualified and experienced team of nursing specialists, embryologists, lab personnel, pharmacists, theatre and support staff, as well as a clinical phycologist specialising in fertility.

Because Medfem Fertility Clinic is an independent practice, it has the capacity to provide patients with cutting-edge technology and medical advancements that smaller clinics are unable to provide, and offers the full spectrum of fertility treatments.

Supportive, Caring Approach

Fertility treatment can be a challenging journey – medically, emotionally and financially – and the approach your fertility specialist takes to your fertility journey will determine whether you and your fertility specialist will work well together.

As a fertility specialist at Medfem Fertility Clinic, Dr Clark shares a commitment to earning the continuing trust and respect of patients and colleagues. Everyone at Medfem Fertility Clinic is dedicated to your success – from the receptionist, administration and finance team, and the nursing staff to the fertility specialists and embryologists.

This approach is reflected in the individualised treatment plan, tailored to your unique situation, created with you by your Medfem fertility specialist, whether you are new to fertility treatments or have had treatment before or elsewhere. In addition, Medfem’s specialists, nurse practitioners, embryologists and clinical staff hold weekly patient care meetings, during which every patient’s protocol plan is reviewed, providing you with a well-coordinated, well-executed, holistic fertility experience… and some of the best success rates worldwide.
