Fertility Testing
Advanced fertility testing for men and women in London with our team of private GPs
Family Planning
At MyHealthcare Clinic we understand how uncertain starting a family can be. Many patients may have concerns about their ability to conceive, have already been trying unsuccessfully or would like reassurance prior to starting to try.
We strive to provide detailed information to help our patients best understand their fertility status and allow them to make informed decisions about their journey to starting a family.
Our comprehensive testing will help you to understand about your fertility and ability to conceive.
If there are any abnormalities found, our GPs will discuss these with you and we have access to some of the leading fertility experts should further assessment be required.
Call or book your first appointment now. All other appointments will be arranged during your first appointment.
