Leveraging a network of excellence
YOUR COMPREHENSIVE FERTILITY SUPPORT SYSTEM
At DR KAT Fertility, we are committed to providing a comprehensive range of services to support you on your fertility journey.
We are privileged to work with a network of trusted partners, each bringing unique expertise to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
CONVENIENT BLOOD TESTS AT HOME
Through our partnership with Enhanced Fertility we can offer the convenience of blood tests at your home, at a much-reduced price. This means you can have important fertility-related blood tests done in the comfort of your own home, saving you time and hassle. Our aim is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, providing you with the support and resources you need on your unique fertility journey.
STATE-OF-THE-ART CLINIC AND EMBRYOLOGIST-LED LAB
Dr Kat practices at Avenues, a cutting-edge clinic conveniently located close to Euston Station and Kings Cross / St. Pancras International.
The clinic offers high-end consulting rooms and an embryologist-led lab. Leveraging the innovative clinic-as-as-service approach ensures that you receive the highest standard of treatment in a comfortable and supportive environment by the doctor that you have selected throughout your fertility journey.
The consulting rooms provide a private space for your appointments, while the advanced laboratory is equipped with the latest technology to support various fertility treatments, including IVF, ICSI, and embryo freezing. The embryology team's expertise, combined with the advanced laboratory environment, ensures that your embryos are handled with the utmost care and precision throughout the treatment process.
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND COUNSELLING
We understand that the emotional aspects of infertility and fertility treatment can be just as challenging as the physical ones. Our team is committed to providing you with the emotional support and guidance you need throughout your journey. We are happy to offer mental health and wellbeing therapy services to help you navigate the complex emotions and decisions that may arise during your fertility treatment through Sysi, a boutique mental health and wellness platform providing high-quality online therapy services from top-tier therapists.
GENETIC TESTS AND COUNSELLING
Genetic conditions are more common than you might think, as nearly 50% of infertility cases and 20-50% of pregnancy losse are attributable to an underlying genetic cause. Understanding your genetic risks and taking necessary steps can significantly impact your fertility journey and overall reproductive health. That’s why we are pleased to partner with GeneLinx, a pioneering platform that provides personalised genetic counselling and testing services.
ACUPUNCTURE: HOLISTIC SUPPORT FOR FERTILITY
We offer access to acupuncture services to complement your fertility care.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of very thin needles through the skin at strategic points on the body. It has been shown to be effective in managing pain and stress, which can be beneficial for individuals undergoing fertility treatments.
We are proud to be affiliated with one of the leading acupuncturists in the UK, Robert Ogilvie.
GYNAECOLOGY SURGEONS: EXPERT CARE FOR SURGICAL PROCEDURES
We collaborate with gynaecology surgeons who specialise in performing surgical procedures that may be required to enhance your chances of conception. These procedures can address conditions such as fibroids, hydrosalpinx, endometrial polyps, and uterine abnormalities, providing comprehensive care to support your fertility goals.
If needed Dr Kat will personally refer you to the surgeon specialised in your condition.
DIETITIAN / NUTRITIONISTS: EXPERT GUIDANCE FOR OPTIMAL NUTRITION
Our team includes dietitians and nutritionists who provide expert guidance on food and healthy eating habits. They assess, diagnose, and treat dietary and nutritional problems, using the most up-to-date scientific research to translate into practical guidance for making appropriate lifestyle and food choices. This holistic approach ensures that you receive comprehensive support for your overall well-being during your fertility journey.
DIGITAL PATIENT SYSTEM
We have partnered with our friends at Solesa to design a smooth patient journey. As a result, we provide you access to a digital patient app that allows us to communicate securely, keeps everyone involved in your care up-to-date, and reduces the admin hassle for everyone (no more manual forms that ask the same information from you over and over again), and have a clear pathway for your personalised treatment.
