About us

About CARE Fertility

CARE was founded in 1997 by Dr Simon Fishel, Dr Ken Dowell and Dr Simon Thornton to provide fertility services to private and NHS patients. Since then we have helped thousands of couples and we are now the UK's largest independent provider of assisted conception cycles, around 3,500 annually.

Our results are among the best in the country. We have been a consistently high performer in the HFEA Patient Guide and in the ‘top ten’ since data has been collected. Dr Foster's Guide to Infertility Clinics gives CARE special mention for ‘consistently high performance’.

We are a unique organisation. Not only are we a group of fertility clinics but the largest integrated team of specialists dedicated solely to fertility management and assisted reproduction.

We don't do anything else. All of our considerable experience and resources are exclusively devoted to helping infertile patients to have children. Not only do we provide the complete range of fertility treatments, we also offer screening procedures such as Array CGH, and Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis. Patients also have access to our Reproductive Immunology Programme. We are also involved in research programmes with institutions worldwide.

Please browse our website, you can find out more about what makes CARE unique – our experience, our aims, our people, our range of treatments and our results.

By coming to CARE, you are placing your trust in us. And it's not just in our medical and technical skills, but in our understanding of your emotional as well as your physical needs. It is a responsibility we don't take lightly. ALL of our staff are committed to your wellbeing. We understand the emotional intensity of trying to have a child and we will support you with guidance and counselling every step of the way. Nobody has more experience. Nobody is more dedicated or discreet.
