Profile of the practice
Our group practice is in close proximity to Munich’s Marienplatz.
The Centre of Reproductive Medicine in Munich has been specialised in all forms of treatment for involuntary childlessness since 1987. We practice all forms of assisted reproduction techniques (ART).
These include: in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Our practice guarantees a treatment at the highest level both in terms of the results and in terms of the quality assurance measures, see e.g. 1999 and 2006.
