Tambre Clinic, Madrid, Spain
Clínica Tambre is a pioneering medical and surgical centre specialising in gynaecology and fertility, located in the heart of Madrid. It was founded in 1978 and is a private clinic. In 2017, it carried out around 1,000 treatment cycles. Its mission is to help patients realise their dream of giving birth to a healthy baby, to contribute to the development of science, medicine and society. Clínica Tambre is also known under the general name of Mistral Fertility Clinics, SL.
The former president, Dr Pedro Caballero, began his career in assisted reproduction over 40 years ago, making Madrid’s Clínica Tambre the most experienced medical centre in the field of fertility. With more than 56 scientific studies published, Caballero is considered a solid reference within the scientific community.
In addition, Dr Pedro Caballero used his experience in andrology to create Spain’s second sperm bank in 1980. His ambition, commitment and dedication are shared by his entire team, enabling Clínica Tambre to position itself as a top-quality clinic in Spain and abroad. But the key to Caballero’s success is not just his 40 years of experience and entrepreneurial spirit.
Clínica Tambre also stands out for its warm, personalised patient care, success rates well above the Spanish and European averages, an excellent medical team and the deployment of the latest, most precise technologies.
Clínica Tambre was completely refurbished in 2018, when Inge Kormelink took over as Clinic Director. There are two laboratories, one for IVF and the other for andrology. After treatment, patients can enjoy the comfort of the six private recovery rooms.
The Tambre team has a wealth of experience, led by Medical Director Dr Laura Garcia de Miguel, a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology with a master’s degree in human reproduction. The entire team comprises 10 doctors, 6 embryologists (the lead embryologist is ESHRE accredited) and 6 nurses.
The international team is made up of intercultural experts who facilitate communication from the first contact to the end of treatment. The team speaks several languages, including English, Italian, German, Dutch, French and, of course, Spanish.
Clínica Tambre has the largest and oldest sperm bank in Madrid and supplies samples to other clinics throughout Spain; the sperm bank is professional in both the male and female factor.
Clínica Tambre is committed to quality control. Tambre was the first in Spain to receive ISO accreditation; ISO 9001:2015 as well as ISO 14001 and Ministry of Health regulation UNE 179007. It is the only European clinic to have received the EFQM European Quality Management Finalists award in 2005 and 2008.
In addition to their own bio-sample tracking systems, they also have a system called Witness. This consists of an RF card (radio frequency card) given to patients that locks the patient’s identity to sperm, eggs and embryos at every stage of treatment.

We can recommend the clinic at any time. The staff is polite, pleasant and was able to answer our many questions immediately and take away certain uncertainties. We felt very well supported and now, at the end of a journey that lasted almost a year, we were recently able to welcome our wonderful son into this world. Thank you, Team Tambre!

If you deal with fertility problems; go to Tambre! They are heroes, all of them. In The Netherlands I couldn’t get pregnant, the Dutch fertility care is simplistic, they conduct little research and tell you nothing is wrong; we were ‘unexplained infertile’. At Tambre they eventually found six reasons why we didn’t succeed, some little, but a few were quite major problems. I think it’s true that they work at the highest scientific level possible, that’s why we chose Tambre. We wanted to research and do, everything we could.We immediately felt welcome at Tambre, everyone is so warm and interested.. they know you by name, ask how you are, they explain everything very well, and they are all updated, they know where you are in your process.. and the clinic itself is beautifully decorated. We stayed in Madrid for four months and did two IVF rounds, we could have flown back and forth, like most people probably do, but we wanted to fully concentrate on our wish to become parents. We combined our stay with Spanish lessons, which was great! And now; I’m almost 12 weeks pregnant!! I am one hundred percent convinced that we would not have succeeded in the Netherlands. Science and Tambre saved our dreams. I cannot thank them enough! I wish I could give them a thousand stars ⭐️

Yesterday marks the last day of my medical journey in this clinic after freezing eggs, and I need to say that everyone was incredible! The people at the reception were very friendly and ready to help, my contact persons were very nice and ready to help! My emails have always been answered within 24 hours! A big thank you to Dr. Marban and the doctor that did the retrieval for me! Everything was perfect! I took all the medications and was able to freeze 13 oocytes! I am very satisfied with the whole process from beginning to end! Thank you, guys! You really deserve 5 stars.

I flew across the continent for social egg freezing . I was quite reluctant because this process takes great coordination in terms of timing and flying across the world would make it harder. I have to say that the journey I had with Tambre was nothing short of incredible. They ended up being exactly the clinic I was looking for. My coordinator was Lucia who was very prompt in carrying arranging everything between me and the clinic in the months leading up to my arrival. She always went the extra mile and there was no communication barrier as she speaks perfect English. On my bad days, she also showed extra empathy and patience to me which was more than everything I could ask for. She also continues to follow up after the retrieval. The clinic also displayed a high degree of flexibility in terms of their terms and conditions when it came to me utilising the payment I made for the second cycle which I am undecided about doing which I am thankful for. The other staff at the clinic were also very kind, organised and highly efficient. The entire plan went smoothly thanks to their punctuality during appointments as well as during the retrieval. While I was on my final visit debating with myself if I should do a second cycle, my exchange with the doctor made me realise that this clinic is not profit-oriented as other organisations are prone to be, their priority was above all the benefit and well-being of the client. I even got a free taxi ride arranged by the clinic to the airport and even the taxi company was excellent in their service. *My only advice is taking the initiative in double-checking with the clinic what test results are needed or lacking maybe 1-2 months before the procedure if you want to do them in your home country to prevent any anxiety in having to do them the last minute as they have the potential to disrupt the entire process. Thank you Tambre !

I have no hesitation in recommending Clinica Tambre. I am an older lady with gynaecological issues but was successful on my first try with the clinic and had a beautiful baby boy in April 2021. I did have further issues trying for a sibling but the director and their Immunologist recommended the appropriate treatment and now have a 2nd healthy beautiful son. I'm so grateful for the excellent treatment and advice received during my.journey in creating my own family and I also appreciate the clinic's outstanding facilities.

Our experience with Clínica Tambre was everything we hoped for.We live in Sydney, Australia and our fertility doctor recommended we looked into Spanish clinics to get an egg donor.We met with three clinics and eventually settled on Tambre because their staff made us feel the most comfortable.Camilo was our first point of contact. He introduced us to Dr Alicia Alvarez who could not have been nicer and more generous with her time to help us understand all our options and next steps. With the help of Dr Alvarez and Camilo we were able to pick the most suitable treatment for us. After that we mostly worked with Arianna who helped us through every step and was very supportive which we really appreciate during such a stressful time.The Tambre team has been very supportive in our fertility journey and we highly recommend them.

I would recommend Tambre Madrid, I felt very supported, the doctors were super friendly and professional. I had my first consultation at the Alicante clinic, if I was to do this experience again I would go straight to Madrid. I preferred having female doctors and I felt the communication was clearer for me. The staff here made a challenging experience as easeful as it could be.

I inky have positive things to say about Clinica Tambre. I live in Australia and there was a fair bit of logistic involved with the process.The Dr I met were really understanding and gave clear information and advice. The admin team was really good with their communication and were responsive. During the process they answered all my questions and made the process really easy.The embryos are really good quality and I have my first son. And so happy

Our experience with Clinica Tambre Madrid was very pleasant. From day one until now, I found everyone I needed to contact was very prompt in reply and extremely friendly. We are now parents of a lovely 5-month-old boy. During the IVF journey and during the early pregnancy, we had a lot of questions and concerns. The Tambre team was always patient in answering them and suggesting helpful solutions. I highly recommend you who are going through challenging infertility issues.

I am 46 years old, and this was my first pregnancy. My partner and I decided to undergo IVF. Amazingly, I was able to conceive and give birth to a healthy child with just one IVF procedure, using my own eggs and my partner’s sperm. While communication with the clinic was sometimes difficult, I placed my trust in the experts, and they delivered outstanding results. The care and expertise throughout the process were exceptional, and I’m incredibly grateful. What seemed impossible at my age became a reality. I highly recommend this to anyone in a similar situation!

We had an excellent experience with Clinica Tambe in Madrid. We were in this process during covid which made it extra difficult with flights and all. But all the staff and the doctor always eased my mind and answeared all my questions straight away through calls or emails with kindness. They really know what they are doing. They are so on point. I 100% recomment them. I chose them from my own gut feeling after doing some research and im glad i did. Now i have a perfect boy, we are very happy. I love Clinica Tambre!

We have had an entirely positive experience with Clinica Tambre Madrid. After SEVEN YEARS of infertility, including trying several doctors and fertility clinics in the USA, we still had no pregnancy and no answers. But Tambre made us feel so welcome, they understood everything. They did tests that are not common in the USA, they helped us identify the issues and find solutions that worked for us. They were genuinely concerned for our well-being and the experience was very personal. Not to mention that the cost was drastically less than the US clinics, including a lovely Spanish vacation - and we found out we were pregnant before we even got home! I can't recommend this clinic highly enough, including every single person there. We are so very grateful for your expertise and kind, compassionate support. We had given up hope, and now we have a whole new future. THANK YOU!!!

It’s been a great experience with everyone at the clinic, from Dr Llaneza to Lola in the support team. I’ve always felt supported and my emails have always been replied to promptly. I managed to freeze a good amount of eggs following my treatment so I am very happy! Thank you so much!

In September 2022 after three failed embryo transfers, I was googling which are the best fertility clinics in Europe. Tambre was always among the rankings. I had online appointments with several clinics around Europe, but from the first moment onwards I felt I needed to go to Madrid to the Tambre clinic. Less than one year afterwards I am holding my baby born in August 2023 thanks to the professionalism and expertise of the Tambre team. I felt also reassured by their commitment to ethics, another plus. A big thank you.

If you want 1st class treatment with the best knowledge about implantation failure and expertise on miscarriage , comfort, great organisation, prompt t response and excellent communication this is the clinic for you.Unfortunately we had 3 other clinics let us down for years , wasting our time , mentally and physically not to mention financially, we nearly gave up after 3 long years, until we came across tambre and all it’s great reviews, we researched this clinic well and thought let’s give it one more go and we are so glad we did!!The staff are all so friendly and make you feel updates, heard and comfortable.First time ever we are now 10 weeks pregnant with healthy heartbeat , it’s still early days but we have never got this far and very hopeful.

I can't thank tambre clinic enough for the incredible support and care they've given me on my fertility journey. From the moment I walked in, it felt like I was part of a family rather than just another patient.The staff greeted me with warmth, compassion, and understanding. I was nervous and anxious, but they made me and my partner feel at ease right away.The doctors and nurses took the time to sit down and talk to me like a friend, not just a medical case. They patiently explained everything, from the procedures to the potential outcomes, in a way that was easy for me to understand.Their facility is very impressive, and you can tell they invest in the latest technology to provide the best care. But what truly touched me was the emotional support they provided us. They understood that this journey is not just about medical procedures; it's about dreams, hopes, and emotions.I'm overjoyed to say that my time at Tambre led to a positive outcome, and it wouldn't have been possible without them.

Our experience was not good. Tambre is a clinic you can't really trust because they don't really look after you.I'm writing this as a man who supported my wife throughout the process with Clinica Tambre, and three failed attempts.The clinic was a personal recommendation from a friend of my wife, who by the way is still trying to get pregnant after years of trying with the clinic. It was our mistake to accept that recommendation.The problems with the clinic start after you pay. During my first visit (we live abroad) they had me donate sperm but forgot to do blood tests. I had to remind them and a nurse said "oh, right, sorry" as if that happened all the time. They still forgot to do some tests (syphilis, etc). While waiting, I noticed a lady crying in one of the cubicles since she had come from abroad and had no clarity on when her transfer was going to happen, if at all.After that first visit I was so shocked that I was willing to walk away. But we'd paid, so we continued. Another mistake.Then my wife started undergoing the procedure. The immediate message we received, after we paid, was that the we were not a priority. The doctors were late for zoom calls 15-30 minutes every single time brushing off our remarks with "I need to have my lunch" and similar.It would usually take many emails and phone calls to remind someone to write a program for my wife. These programs would sometimes contain inappropriate dosage or schedule when we checked them ourselves or with a gynecologist; these would be corrected only upon our intervention. If you work with Tambre you have to keep track of these things and basically become a part-time doctor yourself.You are constantly in the dark. Tough to get to talk to a doctor. Tough to get a question answered. After a while trust will become a major problem.Ask around about Tambre on genuine online groups that discuss fertility you'll start to get the real picture of their reputation, and it's not pretty.

I visited this clinic to provide a semen sample and encountered multiple issues. Firstly, no prior communication was provided regarding the required 2-5 days of abstinence before the appointment, which affected the sample's validity. Secondly, despite an email stating a necessary blood test, it was omitted post-consultation and only addressed after I inquired at the front desk. When signing the consent forms, I had trivial questions that could not be answered by the administrative staff. Additionally, appointment times are consistently delayed by 15-30 minutes. This clinic's lack of communication and disorganization demonstrates poor medical practice.

I went through one cycle of egg retrieval at Clinica Tambre, coming from the US specifically for this. While the clinic has excellent reviews and seems to have an outstanding reputation, my experience was negative. They mistakenly noted my test results from the wrong year before I flew to Spain, and I was not properly prepared for the treatment which went poorly. The amount of communication and information that was provided prior and during my treatment was the bare minimum. I felt that if I didn't ask the exact right question or know all about fertility treatment, I wouldn't be given the information. The doctor seemed smart but was very rushed with me, very dismissive and borderline rude and not at all clued up on my case and treated me like just another anonymous patient in a huge line. There is no direct communication with the doctor outside of each session with her and I felt abandoned and alone, having to do my own research and write emails to the coordinator and wait for replies. Each time I came to the clinic for an appointment I had to wait 20-40 minutes to see the doctor. During the actual surgery, they barely spoke to me. There was a room full of nurses and nobody asked me how I'm doing, they just injected me with the anaesthesia without explaining anything or even warning me. Overall this experience was extremely disappointing and difficult and I am hoping that if I return here they provide better care since all the other reviews are so great, I'm surprised by my experience indeed.
