He has meticulously fine tuned and optimised embryo culture protocols to produce high quality embryos in the lab, which now allows us to predominantly transfer only single embryos and yet maintain exceptionally high pregnancy rates of ~ 60%. Read more about our elective single embryo program
He has developed a highly efficient embryo freezing program which ensures embryo survival rates in excess of 95%. Please refer to the success rates section to find out more.
For complex and challenging IVF cases, especially with repeated failures, he performs a thorough review of the embryology details of the previous failed cycles and provides helpful insights in selecting the right treatment options for you.
In addition to achieving excellence in the laboratory, Dr. Gaurav works hard towards improving patient care and lays a lot of stress on patient counselling, helping them cope with the emotional journey of IVF.
He is also an active teacher, training and disseminating knowledge to his fellow embryologists.
