About Elite Clinic
Elite Clinic is a private fertility clinic located in the Veeriku district on the outskirts of Tartu, Estonia’s second largest city. Established in 2001, the clinic is housed in its own modern building with three floors, an elevator, and free parking for patients and visitors.
The interior is designed to be cozy and private, featuring a unique painting exhibition on every floor as well as sculptures, creating a welcoming and tranquil environment for all who visit.
Elite Clinic is equipped with three state-of-the-art laboratories and a dedicated operating theatre. Patients benefit from six recovery rooms – five of which are private and include personal ensuite bathrooms, while one is a shared room with three beds and a shared ensuite – ensuring comfort and privacy during their stay.
Elite Clinic’s medical team has been a leader in fertility care across the Baltic region, reaching several important achievements. They helped deliver the first IVF baby in the Baltics in 1995 and made history again in 1996 with the region’s first successful birth through egg donation.
The IVF laboratory team has worked together for over 15 years, building trust and teamwork. This stability means patients get reliable, high-quality, and personalized care.

His extensive experience encompasses gynecology, infertility treatment, advanced 4D ultrasound diagnostics, and the management of endometriosis, making him a leading figure in the field.
Medical Director Dr. Andrei Sõritsa leads a team of 4 doctors, including 2 fertility specialists, and supervises 2 embryologists, one of whom has been active in the field since 1996.

Both coordinators speak English and provide dedicated support throughout the entire process.
IVF Diagnostics at Elite Clinic
Before creating a tailor-made treatment plan designed specifically for you, the team at Elite Clinic is committed to uncovering the root causes of any fertility challenges you may be facing. They achieve this through a comprehensive suite of advanced diagnostic tests and technologies, each carefully selected to identify underlying issues and pave the way for the most effective treatment.
The diagnostic tests and technologies available at Elite Clinic include:
- TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration): This procedure is designed for men with very low or absent sperm counts in their ejaculate. TESA allows for the direct retrieval of sperm from the testicular tissue, which can then be used in assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF or ICSI.
- Incubation up to Blastocyst Stage: Elite Clinic offers advanced embryo culture techniques, allowing embryos to develop in the laboratory up to the blastocyst stage (day 5 or 6). This extended culture period enables the selection of the most viable embryos for transfer, increasing the likelihood of implantation and a successful pregnancy.
- Intralipid Infusion: For patients with immune-related fertility issues, Intralipid infusion therapy may be recommended. This treatment aims to improve the chances of embryo implantation by modulating the immune system and creating a more receptive environment for pregnancy.
- Endometrial Scratching: This minimally invasive procedure involves gently scratching the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to stimulate a healing response. Research suggests that endometrial scratching can improve the chances of implantation, particularly in women who have experienced repeated IVF failures.
- IVA (In Vitro Activation): IVA is an innovative approach for women with diminished ovarian reserve. This technique involves activating dormant follicles within the ovaries, potentially increasing the number of eggs available for fertilization.
- Fertility Assessment Test: A comprehensive fertility assessment is available for both men and women, providing a detailed overview of reproductive health and identifying any factors that may affect fertility.
- BeReady Test: This advanced test evaluates the readiness of the endometrium for embryo implantation. By assessing specific biomarkers, the BeReady test helps to determine the optimal timing for embryo transfer, maximizing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
- Carrier Genetic Screening Test: Elite Clinic offers genetic screening to identify whether prospective parents are carriers of inherited genetic disorders. This information is crucial for making informed decisions about family planning and reducing the risk of passing on genetic conditions to future children.
- Venous Thromboembolism Genetic Risk Assessment Test: This test evaluates the genetic risk of developing blood clots (venous thromboembolism), which can be particularly important for women undergoing fertility treatments or pregnancy.
- Laparoscopic Surgeries and Hysteroscopy: For patients requiring surgical intervention, Elite Clinic provides minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. These techniques allow for the diagnosis and treatment of various reproductive issues, such as endometriosis, fibroids, or uterine abnormalities, with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.
Whether you wish to become pregnant with a partner – regardless of gender – or on your own, Elite Clinic offers a full range of fertility services to support you. If you need donor sperm, either because you don’t have a male partner or your partner cannot contribute, Elite Clinic also provides access to its own sperm bank.
At Elite Clinic, you can also order sperm, embryos, or egg cells from other banks (including European Sperm Bank). The handling fee for sperm is 150 euros, and storage of reproductive material costs 1 euro per day.
Recipients can get their medications from their own doctor at home, or Elite Clinic can arrange to send all the needed medications to you by DPD. If you prefer, you can also do all your preparation for embryo transfer right at Elite Clinic, including any tests and medications you need. This way, you can choose the option that works best for you and feel supported throughout your treatment.
