Elite Clinic is an Estonian fertility clinic located in Tartu, the second-largest city in Estonia, situated in the southeastern part of the country. Tartu is often considered the intellectual and cultural capital of Estonia, as it is home to the University of Tartu—the oldest and most prestigious university in the country.
The clinic was established in 2001 and operates as a fully private facility. In 2024, Elite Clinic performed a total of 243 fertility treatment cycles. Of these, 53 were egg donation cycles, while the remaining 190 involved IVF using patients’ own eggs.

Elite Clinic is equipped with three IVF laboratories and one fully equipped operating theatre. For post-procedure care, the clinic offers six patient recovery rooms. Five of these are private, single rooms with personal ensuite bathrooms, ensuring maximum comfort and discretion. The sixth room is a shared space with three beds and a shared ensuite, providing an alternative option for patients who do not require individual accommodation.

Elite Clinic Google Reviews
The best clinic in Estonia and the best gynecologist is Andrey Syritsa. I was very pleased that the problem was resolved. All the staff that I have seen are always friendly.
Unfortunately, government clinics are completely behind. I suffered with the problem for a year, and they didn’t even pay attention to the problem. Everyone said: “This is normal, go ahead and live like this.”
Attention immediately to the couple, and not just to the woman. Everything is strict and according to plan. Insanely satisfied. For the rest, don’t spare money on your health, you can’t buy a second one :) Thanks to the Elite clinic for the doctors!

Everything was great! I am very satisfied. The staff were polite and attentive, and the doctor—unfortunately, I don’t remember her name—was very careful and attentive.

Thanks to Dr. Deniss Sõritsa, I have a little son snuggling in my arms. He was the first doctor who didn’t just send me home to wait, and within just one month, he figured out why pregnancies weren’t happening or were ending in miscarriage. Three months after my first visit, I had my positive test 🙂 Thank you so much! ❤

Clinic has provided the Statement of Truth
We really care about the quality of the information presented on our website.
To make sure that all data provided by clinics is correct - we ask clinics to confirm all data by
"Statement of Truth". The document is signed off by clinic's representatives, scanned and
attached below.
Fresh donor oocytes were used for fertilization with donor or partner's sperm.
Frozen donor eggs Donor oocytes from egg bank were thawed before fertilization with donor or partner's sperm.
Note: As statistics shown in various sources (ESHRE, SART) on average the value of success rate when using frozen eggs may be 10% lower than with fresh eggs.
Embryo transfer day and number of embryos
Embryo transfer day Many clinics prefer to transfer embryos on day 5 at the blastocyst stage as it may lead to better outcomes of an IVF program.
Number of embryos to transfer International and national medical organizations including ASRM, SART and ESHRE discourage the transfer of a large number of embryos because of the increased likelihood of multiple-fetus pregnancies. Multiple-fetus pregnancies, in turn, increase the probability of premature births and related health problems.
Worth to know:
We encourage IVF Clinics to present success rates per cycle rather than per patient. We also ask clinics not to include any frozen embryo transfers in success rates calculation.
Please bear in mind that including frozen embryo transfers (FET) in statistics may increase the overall value of success rates - however at the same time it will increase the cost of the IVF treatment. IVF Clinics usually do not include frozen embryo transfer costs in their programs. That means that if you have any embryos left - the treatment will cost you more than advertised by the clinic.
IVF Success Rates
The way IVF success rates are calculated may vary from clinic to clinic. Calculating and presenting success rates by clinics is a common "communication" issue as clinics try to advertise the best values on their websites.
IVF success rates are usually calculated as a percentage of clinical pregnancies dividing the number of favorable results such as number clinical pregnancies by the number of procedures performed such as a number of embryo transfers, according to the following formula:
"number of pregnancies or number of live births / number of embryo transfers"
You should be aware that the success of IVF treatment is the sum of different factors and circumstances, only few of which depend on the clinic itself. The latter are surely the experience and professionalism of the medical staff as well as offered IVF treatments that allow particular types of patients (with either lower or higher chances of a successful pregnancy).
However, in majority of cases it is your individual situation, condition and medical history that influence the result of the treatment. Your age, genetic factors or various reasons for infertility play a crucial role in determining the IVF success.
Contact in person the clinics you’re interested in and discuss your own perspectives on IVF success instead of studying success rates advertised on clinic's websites.
If you'd like to now more about egg donation success rates please refer to this article:
Here you'll find basic information about the program and the sum of additional costs that are required to carry out the treatment.
The "Additional costs" mean that there are additional costs to cover on top of the advertised program price. You may find these costs in the "Included in program and additional costs" tab below.
Popup - Basic guarantees:
Guarantees refer to number of donor eggs (oocytes) included in the program, number of embryos which are guaranteed on day 3 or day 5 at the blastocyst stage.
Important:
When the clinic offers an embryo guarantee, the basic requirement is good quality partner’s sperm. Usually IVF clinics use WHO standards to assess the sperm parameters. If this is the case, make sure you ask the clinic which particular standards are being applied and what parameters are taken into account. Some fertility clinics apply their own standards. Make sure you ask what happens, if despite good sperm parameters, you will not receive the guaranteed number of embryos.
What does it mean?
Here you will find all the options that are included in the program and those that are necessary to carry out the IVF program but at an additional cost.
All procedures/services which are not included have additional costs that you will have to cover apart from the costs of the Program.
What does it mean?
Other procedures and services that are possible to perform at the Clinic at additional cost.
Remember the decision to use medical services should be made after consulting your doctor.
Refund based on outcome
IVF Refund Program is a term used for financial IVF programs. They give the patient access to two or three IVF cycles for one payment. Usually fresh embryo transfers and extra frozen embryo transfers are included in the price.
A multi-cycle IVF refund program means that the treatment continues until the desired result. It may refer to either clinical pregnancy or a live birth – or until all of the program’s cycles are completed. If the IVF program ends successfully, the clinic will not return your money. However, if you don’t achieve your goal, you can count on a partial or full refund of the costs.
