About Clinica Tambre
Clinica Tambre is a fertility clinic located in the heart of Spain, the capital city of Madrid. Opened in 1978 by Dr. Pedro Caballero Peregrín, the clinic was also responsible for the first sperm bank in Madrid, and only the second in Spain, when it opened in 1980. Clinica Tambre holds the honour of being the very first fertility clinic in the whole country to be awarded the ISO 9001 quality certification. With over 40 years of experience in treating patients with fertility problems, the clinic is known as one of the best in Europe and was a finalist for the European Quality Award in 2008.
The history of Clinica Tambre is even more storied, as in 2009 it became the very first clinic to have their very own immunology unit, which was designed specifically for parents who had experienced implantation failure, or abortion, due to immunological issues. In 2015 they also experienced another first, as they were the first assisted reproduction clinic to implement the Time Lapse Geri System, which is a state-of-the-art embryo incubator with monitoring, which has a proven rate allowing 20% more embryos to be transferred, which helps you in more ways than one, as it both saves on cost, duration, and increases your chances of receiving the best embryos possible. You may want to read the article “Embryo Monitoring – Real Patient Cases” in which we describe two real patient cases with a history of two and four failed IVF cycles and where embryo monitoring made all the difference in the treatment approach.
The clinic itself underwent renovations in 2018 to make it an even better clinic than it was before. Thanks to these renovations patients can feel comfortable, during their treatment, in one of 6 private rooms that have been designed with your comfort in mind. They offer free online consultations so that you can talk with your specialists before travelling, this way you can decide beforehand if this is the clinic for you. When it comes to your treatment, your treatment plan is fully personalised and catered towards your specific needs. It is clear that Clinica Tambre is a pioneer of the industry, and is looking to raise the bar even higher, with their technologies and methods, which are designed with your care and success in mind.
A major aspect of their work is their collaboration with universities all over the world, researching infertility and discovering new and more up-to-date ways of treating patients, to help ensure the best results possible. Due to their scientific research, they are the only private assisted reproduction clinic to have a Health Care Ethics Committee, which was authorised by the Community of Madrid.
Experience and Medical Team at Clinica Tambre
The Clinica Tambre team is led by the Medical Director, Dr. Laura García De Miguel, who graduated from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona with a Degree in Medicine and Surgery in 2007. Dr Miguel is a specialist in gynaecology and obstetrics and has been working in reproductive medicine since 2012, and currently oversees a large staff of 14 doctors, 8 of whom are fertility specialists, as well as 7 nurses, 7 embryologists, and other staff who are involved with patient care and various other positions.
Dr. Esther Marbán Bermejo, is a highly experienced gynecologist and fertility specialist with 14 years of expertise in the field. Fluent in both Spanish and English, she is dedicated to providing exceptional care and support to her patients.
We encourage you, before you visit Clinica Tambre, to watch webinars presented by Clinica Tambre doctors. Dr Esther Marbán has previously presented a webinar on “IVF & Fertility Treatment for Women Over 40 – What Are Your Chances?” along with two insightful sessions by Dr. Héctor Izquierdo: “Diagnostic Evaluation & Management of Male Infertility” and “Uterine Microbiota and IVF Outcomes – All You Need to Know.” We encourage you to watch these recorded webinars to gain valuable knowledge and better prepare for your visit to the clinic.
One of the things you will notice about the staff is the diverse range of languages that they speak, with the majority of the staff speaking more than one language. The languages they speak are as follows
- English
- Spanish
- French
- Italian
- German
- Russian
- Armenian
- Dutch.
This means there will be no obstacles when it comes to communication and everything will be explained to you so that you understand the entire process. When it comes to the services on offer the clinic has a variety of services that are designed to help you, and your partner if applicable, both mentally and physically. Their psychological support has been designed to help you with all aspects of infertility treatment, as they understand that coming to terms with infertility issues and the resulting feelings needs support. As was stated above, the support is not just for you, but for your partner as well, so both of you will be well taken care of.
Before coming up with a tailor-made treatment plan that is designed for your needs, they first need to get to the cause of the problems you are facing, and they do this with extensive diagnostic testing that has been designed to discover the underlying issues.
The diagnostic tests they have are:
- Comet Fertility. This test is for the man and analyses their sperm by looking at the fragmentation of the DNA. What this means is that sometimes the DNA in the sperm can break down or be damaged (it is called fragmentation) resulting in sperm that is unable to result in a successful pregnancy.
- Chromosperm and FISH. This is another diagnostic test for the man, which is designed to look at the sperm and determine what types of chromosomes are present in the sperm. It looks at the exact genetic makeup to see whether or not there could be any abnormalities that would result in failed conception.
- KIR and HLA-C Genotyping. This test is perfect for those who have had implantation failure or had to have abortions due to various issues. It looks at the compatibility between KIR receptors and the HLA-C molecules that will be in the embryo, due to the fact that incompatibility can be a big factor in failed implantation and the need for an abortion. The HLA-C of the sperm of the partner, or donor, will also be tested, to ensure compatibility.
- EMMA, ERA, and ALICE. These tests are all about the endometrium, which is the tissue inside the uterus that helps prepare a woman for pregnancy each month. These tests will determine whether the endometrium is receptive to pregnancy, due to it being a key factor in whether or not implantation is successful.
- myPrenatal. This is a highly advanced prenatal test that looks at the cell-free foetal DNA, to discover whether there is any chance of chromosomal abnormalities. The test is usually done during the first trimester and Clinica Tambre has made it as non-invasive as possible, thanks to the test that was developed by a world leader in DNA sequencing, Veritas Intercontinental, The Genome Company, who are recognised as pioneers in their field.
With all of this diagnostic testing at hand, they will be sure to find out the reasons you need fertility treatment, and come up with a plan to get you pregnant.
Whether you are looking to get pregnant with your partner, male or female, or on your own, Clinica Tambre will be able to offer you their services. If you are looking to get pregnant without a male partner, or your partner is unable to help you achieve a successful pregnancy, then Clinica Tambre has their very own sperm bank available for you. All of the men who donate to the sperm bank go through a process to determine if they are fit and healthy and that their sperm is high quality. When you choose or need, sperm from their sperm bank you know you will be getting only the best sperm available.
