What real patients say about UR Vistahermosa
Based on patient testimonials, a consistent picture of UR Vistahermosa emerges: one of warm, professionally organised care where fertility patients consistently describe feeling like people rather than numbers.
What fertility patients say most
UR Vistahermosa is consistently praised for the warmth and organisation of its international patient team. Couples frequently highlight how supported the entire experience feels — from the very first contact through to follow-up care after treatment. Patients describe a journey that, despite the emotional and logistical complexity of travelling abroad for fertility treatment, felt genuinely looked after at every stage.
From Kirstie’s story: “When we arrived, all the professionals that we had been speaking to via email came and introduced themselves and made us feel so welcome.”
“Our coordinator stayed with us the whole time we were there, it was very personal. She came and explained it all and sorted our medication so we just had to go to the chemist. When we were getting our bloods taken, she booked us a taxi to take us back to the hotel. They even booked the hotel for us. We were gobsmacked, it was amazing.”
“When we came out, it felt like a breath of fresh air.”
From Stéphanie and Joël’s story: “UR Vistahermosa made this miracle happen for us and we are immensely grateful to the whole team. We felt we were in good hands right from the beginning, as though we were part of their family.”
“I feel confident, and UR Vistahermosa was very well organised. We went to a ‘top’ fertility clinic in Canada and it was not nearly as organised.”
From Nathalie’s story: “The experience with the clinic was totally perfect and allowed me to realise my dream of becoming a mother.”
“The trip to Spain went very well. The clinic gave me a very warm welcome and was very clear about the rest of the protocol.”
Finding the right egg donor for IVF treatment
Egg donor availability is consistently praised. The clinic uses Fenomatch software and patients frequently highlight the care taken to find the right match.
From Kirstie’s story: “They made the egg donation process plain sailing and were there for us during and after the transfer.”
UR Vistahermosa’s emotional support that showed up when it mattered most
Patients who had experienced personal fertility challenges and failed attempts elsewhere describe UR Vistahermosa as a place where hope felt real rather than performed.
From Kirstie’s story: “All communications from UR Vistahermosa have been very clear and transparent. The doctors and patient care team have shown great kindness towards us.”
“I haven’t needed any support, but when I do contact the clinic, they’re more than happy to help, and they respond quickly. So I know they are always there in the background.”
From Stéphanie’s story: “We had support all through the pregnancy; every time I had questions, they would answer right away which was a relief because sometimes we felt that if we’re not in Spain anymore, we won’t get support anymore. But it wasn’t the case. They followed through the whole pregnancy. Even at one point I was not sending any emails because we didn’t have any questions and they were following up to see if all was going well.”
From Nathalie’s story: “UR Vistahermosa are always ready to listen, even though I haven’t really needed them lately.”
“If I have any questions, they always answer me very kindly and quickly.”
Named, thanked, and not forgotten: what patients say about UR Vistahermosa’s doctors
The medical team leaves a lasting impression. Dr. José Jesús López Gálvez, the clinic’s Medical Director, is mentioned with deep gratitude. Dr. Szlarb and Dr. Valeria Sotelo are named individually for their expertise and human approach.
From Kirstie’s story — about the medical team: “We never dreamt we would have one child, never mind two. We are truly blessed; we could never thank them enough. They made the egg donation process plain sailing and were there for us during and after the transfer.”
From Stéphanie’s story — about Dr. Valeria Sotelo Kahane: “Our doctor, Dr Valeria Sotelo Kahane, was immensely knowledgeable and at the same time warm and approachable. She helped us feel confident and at ease when we were really nervous.”
“She’s a great doctor. She’s very attentive, she’s warm, she’s comforting. Sometimes fertility doctors are more methodical. But she was very human and we just feel good with her.”
From Dimi’s story — about the wider team approach at UR Vistahermosa vs previous clinics: “We were not offered or received any after care or advice and even our request to see the doctor was refused. We felt like we were just a number to this particular clinic”
