For me, it is essential that patients feel confident they are in good hands. I strive to keep them constantly informed about the progress of their embryos, answer any laboratory-related questions clearly, and provide guidance whenever possible to help them make the best decisions. This approach aims to maximise their chances of achieving their dream of becoming parents.
