Dr Bora helped us navigate, what would normally be a somewhat confusing journey, with optimism. She took the time to personalize our treatment protocol and it is thanks to her and the lovely team of nurses that we are now expecting our first baby.
5
My experience with Dr. Bora was wonderful, from the beginning she was very clear and patient in explaining my low ovarian reserve condition and encouraged us to test with my own eggs before opting for other options. We both decided to give it a try knowing the success rates and she accompanied us through the process. The test was successful and I am now pregnant, so I am very grateful to Dr. Bora for motivating us to try and for her professionalism throughout the journey.

Dr Bora has always been so kind, empathetic and supportive throughout our very difficult fertility journey. Not only did she provide excellent care, but she always responded quickly to any follow-up questions I ever had - nothing was ever too much. I'm so grateful that she was our doctor and, thanks in no small part to her, we now have our beautiful baby.

I switched to Dr Bora after having been with another consultant for several cycles. Dr Bora really took the time to review my history and file in detail and suggested new medication, which had a much better outcome than I ever expected. Throughout my cycle Dr Bora and her PA were responsive and caring, and I felt very well taken care of. I can highly recommend Dr Bora!

Dr Bora has gone above and beyond to help us. I found her incredibly trustworthy and reassuring.

Dr Bora was our nominated consultant when going through IUI/IVF treatment at Lister Hospital. We are so very grateful to have been successful following the first round of IVF and are still overwhelmed by the care and expertise we experienced.
5
Dr Bora was very clear and straightforward about our treatment options and chances of success. She listened carefully and took on board our thoughts and concerns, and was reassuring where appropriate. When we encountered setbacks, she was both highly empathetic and pragmatic about the way forward. As somebody who was very anxious about the IVF process for various reasons, I really appreciated that Dr Bora went far out of her way to help me feel safe and supported. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and we couldn't trust her professional judgement more.
5
Overall, I have had an extremely positive experience with Dr. Bora. Within my initial consultation, she was direct and clear regarding options and in this way Dr. Bora arms her patients with information to be able to make the required decisions. Not only is she very experienced, but also shows a great level of sincerity and shows she truly cares for what is best for her patients.
5
Our experience with Dr. Bora was great. She was kind and caring at all steps and all our interactions with her were very pleasant. She did explain her diagnosis and our options in great detail and took time to make sure that we understood and are comfortable with them.
