Warm and compassionate IVF care, we had a great experience of the team at the clinic and ultimately a successful pregnancy as a result.

Amazing team, they made my dream come true. I got pregnant after the second treatment. My initial appointment was with Dra Gallardo. She was kind, straight to the point and no messing around. I had to have non invasive surgery to remove a polyp and she organized this for me with Dr Alonso, who has a private clinic in the same building. Again, a great guy, and a great Dr. Second cycle, because Dra Gallardo moved on and left the clinic, I was seen by Dr Sanchez. I like Dr Sanchez, he is warm and funny and helped me get pregnant. I extend Special thanks to Carolina, Guile and Nuria who were there for me every time I needed something.Carolina basically "held my hand" throughout the second cycle, every doubt every worry, she was there.And so were Guile and Nuria, very reassuring and kind. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will be forever grateful 🙏. Isabel although we didn't speak regularly, was also very helpful whenever i was at the clinic, she is very good at her job, and a straight arrow.The one thing i would say, and don't be put off by it, make sure you understand the steps of the treatment, and if you're from.the UK, buy all the medication from Malaga because it makes life easier.Blessings to everyone.

I will always be grateful to Centro Gutenberg for helping us achieve what once felt impossible.
Before coming to the clinic, we had been trying for a baby for a very long time, and the journey had taken a huge emotional toll on me. By the time I arrived at Centro Gutenberg, I honestly had almost no hope left. I was constantly stressed, unhappy, and sometimes even angry because month after month nothing worked. I was so overwhelmed that at times I was even frustrated with the staff, but they were always incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with me.
From the moment we started treatment there, everything changed. The team supported us through every step with professionalism, empathy, and care. They truly understand how emotional and difficult this process can be.
Amazingly, with our first round of IVF, I became pregnant. After everything we had been through, it felt almost unbelievable.
Today, our beautiful son Remo Mateo is three months old. Holding him in our arms still feels surreal after such a long journey. He is our little miracle, and we will forever be thankful to the amazing team at Centro Gutenberg for helping us make our dream of becoming parents come true.
If you are struggling with fertility and feel like you are losing hope, I truly recommend Centro Gutenberg. They gave us not only medical help, but also hope when we needed it the most.

We can wholeheartedly recommend Centro Gutenberg.
Everyone at the clinic is not only warm and professional, but it quickly becomes clear that they genuinely care. Throughout the entire journey, the team has been supportive, attentive, and consistently made us feel truly seen rather than just another case. We felt in excellent hands from start to finish.

I might be biased in my views, but this is the BEST reproduction clinic in the world. Why? Because thanks to the staff we have become parents to our own "el bebecito" after nine long years. After several unsuccessful IVF attempts at our home country, we looked for something special and found it in Malaga. The views and the location puts you at ease and makes the whole process very pleasant. The whole staff is friendly, professional and very welcoming, you feel well taken care of and everyone is interested that you succeed.
Dr. Sanchez was excellent at managing the treatment process, everything was explained in detail and all of our questions were answered. You can see that he's passionate about his work.
It was always pleasant communicating with Nuria and Isabella - they coordinate all the process with ease.
Can't wait to come back and use the clinic's services again in a couple of years for some siblings to our little guy :)

Thanks to the amazing team at Centre Gutenberg, we are now proud parents! Dr. Sánchez’s expertise, along with Dr. Carolina, Dr. Menchu and Nuria’s care and support, made every step of our IVF journey feel safe and guided.
When we first contacted the clinic, there wasn’t much time before our planned holidays in Spain, but we hoped to combine our trip with the treatment. The team immediately understood our situation and acted with incredible efficiency — organizing every step of the process so that everything would align perfectly. They prepared my medication plan to be done home and coordinated all details to ensure that our short stay in Málaga matched my cycle for the treatment to succeed.
They combined professionalism with genuine compassion, and we will forever be grateful for their dedication and for helping us bring our baby into the world.
You helped me make my dream of becoming a mother again come true. I now hold my love in my arms and am deeply grateful for the opportunity to feel this infinite love once more.
We are planning to come back one day, but the next time to visit the team with our baby in our arms to thank everyone in person!

I really wanted to leave a review here because I know how much reading other people’s experiences helped me when I was choosing my clinic.
I never imagined that a doctor could have such patience and kindness toward a patient. I am specifically referring to Dr. Sánchez, for me, it was something truly incredible. Dr. Sánchez chose the best treatment for me! I felt so good during the process that I almost thought something wasn’t working properly! :) I was not used to this level of care based on my past experiences in both Romania and UK. I sincerely wish every doctor could be like Dr. Sánchez!
I also want to mention Nuria, my little angel, who always responded to my questions and concerns with so much warmth and understanding.
I am so happy I chose URE Centro Gutenberg! The care, professionalism and kindness I received were beyond my expectations. I honestly couldn’t ask for more!

After trying two different clinics, I finally completed my egg cryopreservation (egg freezing treatment) here and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dr. Sánchez and Nurse Nuria were very professional, attentive, and supportive throughout the process. The receptionist always welcomed me with a smile, and the nurses were kind and caring. I apologize for not remembering all the names, but the staff was wonderful, even if not everyone spoke English. Everything went smoothly, and I felt in good hands from start to finish. Highly recommend.

After a terrible experience at a clinic in our home country (Ontario, Canada) my partner and I started doing research on continuing our fertility journey abroad. We picked four clinics in Spain (because of how gay friendly the country is) and had our first online meeting with them to pick which clinic we wanted to go with. Unidad de Reproducción (URE) Centro Gutenberg quickly caught our attention as we had our first meeting with the doctor who would be in charge of our care. He explained the process well, brought up findings from the first round of IVF my partner did here, and even told her she had PCOS, something that was omitted from our care in Canada.
The process went very smoothly, we were shocked that we didn’t have to pay in advance. We paid as we went and they were very nice letting us pay in multiple times as our credit cards had low daily limits.
Both my partner and I did an IVF cycle. We were able to time our cycle and with an adjustment of our medications start date, my partner and I were able to have out egg retrieval on the same day which was pretty awesome. Dr. Sanchez was fantastic throughout to the whole process. He answered all our questions, and reassured us with our worries. The experience in Spain was a lot more “chill” than in Canada. To be able to see the doctor every appointment made such a difference. Plus he was the one doing all the ultrasound and therefore knew exactly what was going on.
While we were there, we were also able to meet the embryologist which walks us through the growth of our embryos. He showed us how they were developing, and what they should look like. We felt in control and we understood what was going on, why they were keeping some, and why some were not developing well.
We also had a warm welcome from all the staff. Isabel and Nurina helped us when we got there and throughout the whole preparation beforehand, from home.
Lastly, I cannot do a review without talking about the location of the clinic. The view on the beach makes this place stand out. Every day we had an appointment we made it a beach day (as we were staying further into the city). The pharmacy around the corner was great for all of our medication needs. Also, as a celiac, I was ecstatic to find a gluten-free bakery (Pastelería Nata & Chocolate) which was delicious and also a must before heading to the beach.
Thanks to Unidad de Reproducción (URE) Centro Gutenberg and the entire team, my partner got pregnant on the first embryo transfer and we now have a beautiful 3-month-old boy. We are already starting to plan our new visit where I will be the one getting the transfer this time.

** Made with lots of Love and just a little bit of Science***
My journey began in November 2023 with a consultation. Having lost my daughter on due date to Stillbirth 18 years ago, I longed for a family. After much research about this clinic and its doctors, I flew from Dublin & From the very 1st consultation, Dr Sanchez made me feel confident in the care and expertise he showed.
I could return home to Dublin with all my fertility medication and very clear instruction. All my scans and tests in the lead up to transfer day could be carried out in Ireland. The team, isabel & Nuria were on hand 24/7 by phone or email for any questions and they responded promptly. I only had to return to Malaga for the day of the Embryo Transfer. A date was set for February 2024 to proceed with an Embryo Donation procedure. After this 1st attempt failed, I returned again in October 2024 for a repeat of the same procedure.
Thankfully on test day I could see a clear Positive. I continued with oral medication until week 16 and was also under the care of my fantastic maternity services in Ireland. All the while Dr Sanchez & his fantastic team were on hand, checking in regularly with me and providing excellent advice & reassurance. After longing & waiting for almost 18 years, my beautiful son was born Healthy at 37 weeks in June 2025.
Without the help & care of this clinic I would never have seen my dream come true. I will be eternally grateful to Dr Sanchez, his team & the extremely selfless act of generosity from the Donor Couple, without whom none of this would be possible.
Dreams really do come true.

After ten long months of pregnancy, my baby has finally arrived! This hospital was recommended by a friend who praised its doctors as having ‘the hands of God,’ capable of making my dream of having a child come true. From the initial tests to a fully customized treatment plan tailored to my body, everything was perfect. My doctor was incredibly attentive, even accommodating my personal schedule to ensure the best possible care—and in the end, we succeeded on the very first attempt!

And when I already lost hopes, I found this clinique and its amazing team. Kind, empathic, professionals. They always set expectations though: nothing was sugar-coated. In the end they made my dream came true and I finally became a mother! Thanks to all the team, and in particular to Dr. Sanchez, Nuria, Isabel, all the nurses that took care of me [from blood tests, to prep me for the different processes] and receptionists. You are a great team of professional and I would highly recommend this place not only for the success rate, but also for the humanity of how they handle their job.

The amazing people of this clinic made our wish finally come true after a very long journey filled with tears, pain and shrinking hope. But as soon as I stepped into this clinic I felt understood as everyone is just so caring and empathetic.
My heart is full with love for all of you and I cannot thank you enough for making us parents of a wonderful little boy.
Special thanks to Dr Sanchez who treated me with respect, was always honest and caring and always found the right words to motivate and stay positive 😃 but the whole team is just amazing! Thank you all so much!
I hope to see you again - maybe for baby Number 2 😄

I cannot recommend this clinic enough! From the very first contact, their professionalism and genuine care were evident. Dr Alvarez and the rest of the team provided unwavering support throughout every stage of the process, ensuring I felt informed, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Nothing seemed impossible. Their expertise combined with their compassionate approach made a world of difference. Truly an exceptional experience! Grateful to URE Gutenberg for my beautiful children and the unforgettable pathway to pregnancy and motherhood. Thank you 🙏
