Mineerva Fertility
The Vision
In the wake of my personal journey as a fertility patient, I embarked on a mission to establish a world-class fertility clinic and day hospital. It has been a seven-year endeavour to translate this vision into reality.
Opting to situate our facility at The Bond, an award winning, architectural masterpiece, was a deliberate choice. Crafted from wood and seamlessly integrated with nature, The Bond exudes a tranquil atmosphere, with the scent and sight of wooden beams and columns invoking a powerful soothing effect.
Drawing upon three decades of experience, I have surrounded myself with the finest professionals in the field to bring this vision to fruition. Together, we collaborated with an international team of IVF experts to create Minerva Fertility, setting a new benchmark for IVF laboratories.
I am delighted to be working again with Dr Greg Jenkins and our experienced team of nurses and scientists.
Additionally, Bond Day Hospital emerged as a testament to our commitment to patient-centric care. This state-of-the-art day surgery, characterised by magnificent design, provides an optimal healing environment with a focus on comfort and calm.
