8 Best Fertility Clinics in Zurich

Suits patients who want diagnostics, laboratory and doctors under one roof, starting with a free first consultation. The Seefeld clinic on Bellerivestrasse offers IVF, ICSI, insemination and frozen embryo transfer, plus PGT-A, PGT-M and carrier screening. Its own IVF laboratory is run by clinical embryologist Nacho Landaburu, and six doctors are named on the website. Fertility test results are promised within seven days, which helps when deciding whether to start treatment. The website has an English version.

Suits patients who want a central address for check-ups and a quick start. The Rennweg practice handles fertility assessments, ultrasound monitoring, hormonal stimulation and inseminations, and Saturday appointments are possible. The clinic says a first appointment is usually available within two weeks. IVF, ICSI and other laboratory procedures take place at its sister site in Pfäffikon SZ, so expect to travel there for egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

Its strength lies in the laboratory. Time-lapse embryo imaging has been used routinely here since 2016, and every embryo is followed at least to day three. An electronic witnessing system with barcodes matches samples at sperm collection, egg retrieval and embryo transfer. The clinic on Hardturmstrasse covers IVF, ICSI, insemination with partner or donor sperm, genetic testing of embryos and egg freezing. Patients who want closely monitored embryo culture and careful sample tracking will find the lab details reassuring.

A good fit for women considering egg freezing who prefer to spread the cost. The centre offers a social freezing subscription from CHF 99 a month, alongside insemination, IVF and ICSI. Its doctors are FMH gynaecologists focused on reproductive medicine, led by medical director Dr. Florian Götze, with Prof. Bruno Imthurn on the team. Consultations take place on Utoquai in Seefeld and at a second site in Zollikon, and the website has an English version.

Its strength lies in combining fertility treatment with surgery. Alongside IVF, ICSI, insemination and PGT testing of blastocysts, the centre on Hardturmstrasse performs laparoscopic, hysteroscopic and microsurgical operations, including reversal of sterilisation and vasectomy. Men without sperm in the ejaculate can have sperm retrieved surgically by MESA or TESA. Couples whose fertility problem has a surgical cause can therefore stay with one team from diagnosis to embryo transfer.

Well suited to English-speaking patients who want a smaller practice with its own laboratory. The website says the whole team speaks English, and consultations are also held in German and French. Dr. Michael Singer, FMH-certified in reproductive medicine and gynaecological endocrinology, founded the practice in 1997 and added a cleanroom IVF laboratory with a day clinic in 2016. The practice is close to Küsnacht station, with parking nearby.

The practical option for couples in Winterthur and the north of the canton. Admira sits on Bahnhofplatz, right by Winterthur station, and offers cycle monitoring, insemination, IVF and ICSI, plus egg freezing for social or medical reasons, such as before chemotherapy. Two reproductive medicine doctors lead the team under medical director Dr. Monika Fäh, supported by an IVF biologist and laboratory staff. An in-house anaesthesia team is also part of the practice.

A sensible choice for women who would like a gentler approach before conventional stimulation. Dr. Estilla Maurer-Major, who owns the practice, offers natural cycle IVF-ICSI alongside standard IVF-ICSI with blastocyst culture and genetic testing of embryos. Insemination and egg freezing are also available. The practice on Emil-Oprecht-Strasse in Oerlikon keeps fertility treatment, pregnancy check-ups and gynaecology in one place, so patients do not have to change doctor once pregnant.
