Choosing a fertility clinic is one of the most important decisions you’ll make on your path to parenthood. It’s not just about price; it’s about trust, expertise, and finding a team that genuinely understands your situation.
This guide covers the key factors to consider when choosing a fertility clinic in Bangkok, so you can start your treatment with confidence.
1. Doctor Expertise and Specialization
The most important factor is the medical team. Make sure the doctors treating you specialize specifically in reproductive medicine, not general OB/GYN practitioners taking on fertility cases on the side.
What to check:
- Board certification in reproductive medicine or endocrinology
- Years of experience in IVF/ICSI specifically
- Number of cases treated per year
- Whether multiple specialists are available or just one
At Genesis Fertility Center, a team of seven specialist reproductive medicine doctors, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pitak Laokirkkiat (Medical License #18494), with over two decades of clinical experience, treats more than 2,000 patients per year.
2. Laboratory Technology and Standards
Lab quality directly affects success rates. Embryos spend critical days outside the body, and the environment they’re kept in matters enormously.
Technology worth asking about:
- Embryo culture system and incubator quality. International laboratory practices are also informed by recommendations from the ESHRE.
- Vitrification technique for egg freezing and embryo freezing
- PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing) availability
- AI-assisted embryo selection tools
GFC uses AI iDAScore technology for embryo quality assessment, and offers PGT-A via NGS with 97%-99% accuracy and results within 24 hours, priced at 37,900 THB.
3. Transparent Success Rates
Any reputable clinic should be able to share their success rates clearly and explain how those numbers are calculated. Be cautious of clinics that cite figures without context.
Questions worth asking:
- What is your live birth rate per embryo transfer?
- Which patient age group does that figure apply to?
- Does it include PGT-A cycles or not?
GFC reports a 60–65% average success rate per embryo transfer, rising to 70–75% when PGT-A genetic screening is included.
4. Range of Services Under One Roof
Fertility treatment often involves multiple procedures across several months. A clinic that handles everything in-house, without referring you elsewhere for certain steps, makes the process significantly smoother.
Services to look for:
- ICSI / IVF
- UI (Intrauterine Insemination)
- Egg Freezing
- FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer)
- PGT-A genetic testing
- Male fertility assessment and treatment
5. Pricing Transparency
A low headline price can be misleading if it doesn’t include medication, monitoring, or lab fees. The best clinics lay out all potential costs clearly before treatment begins.
Ask specifically:
- What exactly is included in the package price?
- Are fertility medications included or billed separately?
- What additional costs might arise during treatment?
GFC offers four clearly defined ICSI packages, with transparent terms explained at the consultation:
| Package | Price (THB) |
|---|---|
| LiTE | THB150,000 |
| Gold | THB170,000 |
| Platinum | THB230,000 |
| Diamond | THB350,000 |

6. Communication and Ongoing Support
Fertility treatment is emotionally demanding and spans weeks or months. Having a team that communicates clearly, responds promptly, and supports you at every step makes a real difference. International patients can also read our guide to IVF treatment in Thailand before planning their visit.
Signs of a patient-centered clinic:
- Quick response via LINE, phone, or email
- Doctors who explain every step before proceeding
- Emergency contact available outside office hours
7. Location and Accessibility
Fertility treatment requires multiple clinic visits, for monitoring, procedures, and follow-ups. A conveniently located clinic reduces stress and logistical complications.
GFC has three branches:
- Rama 9 (Main Branch) – 2292 Rama IX Road, Suan Luang, Bangkok 10250
- Rama 3 – 924/2 Rama III Road, Yannawa, Bangkok 10120
- Ubon Ratchathani – 382 Thepyothi Road, Mueang, Ubon Ratchathani 34000
8. Multilingual Support
For international patients or couples where one partner speaks a different language, having doctors and staff who communicate fluently in your language ensures nothing gets lost in translation.
GFC provides services in Thai, English, and Traditional Chinese.
Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Clinic
Before committing, consider asking these questions at your first consultation:
| Question to Ask | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| How many IVF/ICSI cycles has the team performed? | A clinic with extensive experience is often better equipped to manage a wide range of fertility conditions and treatment scenarios. |
| What is your clinic’s success rate for my age group? | Success rates vary based on age, diagnosis, and treatment type. Ask for statistics that reflect patients with a similar profile to yours. |
| What’s included in the package, and what might cost extra? | Understanding all potential costs upfront helps you compare clinics accurately and avoid unexpected expenses during treatment. |
| What happens if the first cycle doesn’t succeed? | Knowing the clinic’s approach to follow-up care, additional treatment options, and next steps can help you plan both emotionally and financially. |
| How do I reach the medical team if I have concerns between appointments? | Clear communication and access to medical support can provide reassurance and ensure timely guidance throughout your fertility journey. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a fertility clinic and a hospital fertility department?
Specialist fertility clinics typically focus exclusively on reproductive medicine, with dedicated lab infrastructure and doctors whose entire practice centers on this field. Hospital fertility departments vary widely in specialization. Both can provide excellent care, what matters most is the team’s specific experience with IVF and ICSI.
Do I need a referral to book a consultation?
No referral is needed at GFC. You can book directly via LINE @gfcclinic or call 097-484-5335.
Should both partners come to the first appointment?
Yes, ideally. Infertility can involve factors from either partner, and having both present at the first consultation allows the doctor to assess the full picture and create a more accurate treatment plan.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes, your first consultation at GFC is free and without obligation.
Does GFC treat international patients?
GFC serves patients from Thailand and internationally, with services available in Thai, English, and Traditional Chinese.
