Hi all
Want to know which clinic is best between Care Sheffield vs Leeds fertility hospital going as private patient.
Success rates on hfea looks same for both but most of the reviews are good for Care . Also Leeds fertility website says it was rated in top 5 clinic in entire uk last year. Any help/reviews/suggestions is appreciated as I am really confused
Thanks

Hey. I'm Wakefield so we had a similar decision to make. We are about to start our second round with Leeds fertility. Can't compare it to Sheffield because I've never been! But Leeds have been great. Some of the consultant appts are done at Nuffield in Leeds City centre so it's not too far to travel if you south of Leeds (guessing you must be if you are considering both). The only thing I know about Sheffield from when a friend did her cycle there is on the mornings she needed scans on a particular cycle day it wasn't appts. She had to turn up and join a que really early if she wanted an early morning scan before work. It was something I was worried about, but Leeds do appointments so it's less stressful I guess knowing a time. Hope that helps a little

@Mseddy thanks for your response. I live in Leeds but due to bad reviews and huge waiting times I was planning to go for Care Sheffield . It has some very good reviews and also success rates.
Although I had initial consultation at both places and didn’t find much difference.
Really confused . Travelling is not that much for me I can manage somehow but obviously Leeds fertility is near to me and Nuffield is like 10 mins walk but still I am not considering distance over quality.
May I ask you if you don’t mind What happened with your first round at Leeds fertility

The only issue I've ever had with Leeds is sometimes communication isn't great and I've occasionally had to chase things, but apart from that no issues. There was no waiting lists when I started last year. Is there a long one now?
We have double infertility, male factor and low amh so our odds are pretty crap. First round we only got one decent blast and it didn't implant. No fault of the clinic, just my dodgy body!

@mseddy aah ok wish you good luck.
I too had find communication is a bit problem in Leeds fertility and their reviews are bad. But as I am in Leeds so would think of going ahead with them. Yes there is a waiting list but the nurse said they can plan to start with my next cycle as we have done all the tests already and everything is normal.
Thank you for responding.
If anyone has any reviews about Care Sheffield please reply...

Hello. We have just had our first round with Leeds Fertility which resulted in a miscarriage. I would agree with Mseddy in that sometimes their communication isn't great, and you ending up chasing them. In the main though, the medical team are very caring and supportibe. Good luck with it all. Mseddy when are you starting your 2nd round? Good luck with it all. We are hoping for an FET in the next couple of months.
