Sims IVF - Clonskeagh Reviews 15

Ignored my my job application and cover letter for a lab technician position that was posted on UCD campus and applied for on 19-Oct-23.
They then disingenuously got my review removed from Trustpilot. I have full digital proof so I will contest if they attempt to get my review removed again
Very poor professional behaviour. I wouldn't have really cared had I not logged in and seen they lobbied to remove my review.
Update: You posted the job on a noticeboard in the UCD health science building with instructions to email a certain Mr. Roman with a CV and Cover letter.

The team at sims are so friendly.

Please stay away from these charlatans… just went through IVF process in Prague having previously tried with SIMS…..what a difference,Prague care and guide you through whole process whereas SIMS will take your cash and not give a f&ck….if you’re contemplating going on this IVF journey please AVOID SIMS at all costs…. They are cash hungry leaches who do not care… AVOID AT ALL COSTS

After three miscarriages, we decided to investigate privately into what was happening. We made an appointment with SIMS Clonskeagh. We both had tests done, I queried if mine should be done on Day 3 of my cycle and was told that I was incorrect. My husband had two tests done and all was fine with all of our results. I later found out that my tests should have been done on Day 3 of my cycle and because of this, my new doctor found useful information to help get us on the road to a healthy baby.
We never met with a SIMS doctor in person, it had to be all online. Dr. Alex Aldepe was our doctor and insisted we engage with PGTA at a cost, he estimated at €10,000. He estimated the cost and would never give us a definitive answer. We would happily pay it, if we knew that would help us, but I knew in my gut it wouldn’t. All of my miscarriages happened at between 8-10 weeks. Heartbeats were detected on scans as well hence why I always thought that there was an issue with supply of some kind. We could get pregnant but the fetus couldn’t get what it needed to survive.
Before embarking on PGTA, we requested another meeting with the doctor as we were reluctant to hand over money and still be in the dark about the procedures. We did have a lot of questions and we both got the impression that this annoyed the doctor to the point where he stated quite abruptly, “We can assume that it’s your fault and your eggs aren’t of good quality”. That broke me.
We couldn’t engage with SIMS after that. We went on to another clinic called Neo Fertility. They discovered that I had a blood clotting issue and now I am holding my 3 month old baby in my arms thankfully.
I have been in touch with other women who have paid this astronomical fee to SIMS with no results and whilst it’s not about that money, sub-fertility is stressful enough without adding money worries on top of that.
Please engage with many clinics before making a decision out of desperation like we almost did.

All staff were caring and compassionate and I felt listened to and supported there.

The team here have been fantastic to me. I felt very supported and looked after. Highly recommend.

I absolutely would never recommend sims ivf. They are only concerned with money and getting as many rounds as possible out of every couple. We spent over 23k with them and then went abroad after 4 frozen transfers with sims. The clinic abroad found severe inflammation in my womb that sims had missed. Had we gone abroad sooner or in the first place, it would have saved a lot of tears money and hardship. They haven't a clue what they are at when it comes to anyone with any kind of inflammation or autoimmune issues. Don't go near them.

What can I say. Thank you does not seem enough.

We had been with a different doctor for 3 rounds of ivf before we moved to Dr. Alex. The second we met Dr. Alex we knew he was different. He got straight to the source of our issue and showed genuine care towards us. He wanted the process to end in a baby as much as we did. He talked us through the whole process and his genuine expectations - all while be honest but in a caring way. His knowledge is exceptional.

Dr. Alex was there through the whole process and I genuinely cannot thank him enough. His belief it could happen for us made me believe it could happen.. and it did. We are currently 12 weeks pregnant with not just 1, but 2 miracle babies (1 embryo).

We cannot thank you enough Dr. ALEX and will never forget what you done for us.

Went to SIMS to learn of fertility status and then decide if I wanted to move forward with egg freezing. Did not feel listened to by the doctor I was assigned. They were writing half baked notes in front of my on the call while I shared personal medical history. Doctor was rushed and did not seem to be listening when I was speaking. The call went from investigating my fertility status with AMH levels to suggesting I freeze embryos in one call. Therefore needing a sperm donor. As a single woman looking to learn more about their fertility I was really disappointed with the humanity of the experience. Follow up email after call was suggesting scans and paying huge amounts of money. Not reflective of the information I shared on the call or what I was looking for from the process which I also shared. Felt like I was a wildcard number in a commercial machine. Would not recommend.

My experience with sims ivf Clonskeagh and Carlow was excellent.
The staff in both facilities are so reassuring and full of knowledge and very professional.
I would highly recommend using Sims ivf clinics.

It was professional quick and well supported .We were successful on 1st attempt and the nurses were great . I would highly recommend .

We started out IVF journey in November 2020 & now I am 8 weeks pregnant. Throughout this entire time, SIMS have looked after me well and had provided clear patient centered treatment plans & transparency in communication. They made this whole process quite easy for us and have supported us all through out. We are very thankful to have chosen SIMS & thankful to their wonderful team

Brilliant staff & great professional service. Thank you all for everything.

Fantastic staff, held my hand every step of the way. Could not recommend higher.
