First Interview

Knowledge is the basis of a journey that the medical staff takes together with the patients. The first interview represents a fundamental moment in the “Medically Assisted Procreation” process to begin to establish a mutual relationship of trust and take the first steps.

During the first interview, the Next Fertility ProCrea medical staff evaluates the couple’s clinical history, previous tests and previous therapies with any other attempts and failures. Then the doctor illustrates the process with the required tests, indicates the subsequent stages, explains the most suitable treatment, answers every possible question to eliminate any doubts.

Understanding and confidentiality are aspects of primary importance in the field of medical care to establish a doctor-patient relationship based on trust and awareness of having access to the most effective treatments.

By appointment it is possible to obtain an informational interview and a first visit within a few days. There are no waiting lists. The clinic is open from Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and on Saturday from 9am to 1pm.

To facilitate couples who are busy during the week and those who do not live in the surrounding areas, Next Fertility ProCrea offers the possibility of having the first information interview even on Saturdays. The interview in the clinic lasts approximately 2 hours or there is the possibility of booking an initial online interview lasting 1 hour, again with one of our doctors specializing in medically assisted procreation.
