We have pioneered a wholesome approach to fertility, supporting our patients medically, physically and emotionally. Our doctors are registered reproductive specialists with the South African Medical and Dental Council and have a collective experience of over 150 years. We are also the first fertility clinic to receive the converted ISO 15189 accreditation which demonstrates our facility meets the high quality, performance, technical expertise standards. We do everything in our power to ensure that you arrive as a patient and leave as a parent. We understand that infertility is one of life’s most difficult challenges medically, emotionally and financially and we have the experience, support and staff to help you through your fertility journey. We begin with a structured and co-ordinated series of investigations to understand what the cause of the infertility is. Once that is established we work closely with you to develop an individualised holistic treatment plan in order to achieve your family dream in the shortest time frame possible. Most couples only come to us after many unsuccessful experiences – pain that could have been avoided if we were approached sooner. If you are looking for a fertility specialist Vitalab and our dedicated industry leading team are here and willing to provide you with the best medical care the industry has to offer.

Patience and perseverance can feel incredibly difficult during a fertility journey.
As Sr Samantha Maingard shares:
“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”
Fertility treatment often requires emotional strength, trust in the process, and time. While every journey is different, small moments of courage and persistence can help you keep moving forward — even on the hard days.
At Vitalab, our team is here to support you with compassionate, evidence-based care every step of the way.
Strength doesn’t always look loud.
Sometimes it looks like showing up again.
Sr Liandri reminds us:
There are moments on the fertility journey that feel uncertain, overwhelming, or deeply challenging. Yet many patients later reflect that these same moments shaped their strength, clarity, and hope.
Caring for your wellbeing during treatment may include:
• Giving yourself permission to take things one step at a time
• Staying connected to supportive people
• Focusing on progress rather than comparison
• Remembering that difficult seasons can still lead to meaningful outcomes
Fertility journeys can test your strength in ways you never expected.
Sr Ilse reminds us that resilience often reveals itself over time:
“A moment will come when you realise you were capable the whole time. Keep going.”
Treatment can feel overwhelming. Progress may feel slow. But every step forward matters.
This March, we continue focusing on emotional wellbeing, awareness and supporting patients through every stage of their journey — because fertility care is not only medical, it is deeply human.
Recently, a patient left a handwritten note for Dr Yossi Unterslak, after welcoming their baby.
In it, they spoke about the journey to parenthood - the uncertainty, the hope, and the gratitude they felt for the guidance, reassurance, and care they received along the way.
They wrote about how meaningful it was to have someone walk beside them through such an important chapter of their lives.
Moments like this remind us that fertility treatment is about far more than medicine.
It’s about trust, compassion, and supporting people through one of the most emotional journeys they may ever experience.
To the families who allow us to be part of their story - thank you.
“IVF is a medical treatment, and it can be emotionally and physically stressful. Seek psychological support and navigate it together as a couple. Join a support group if possible.”
Fertility treatment is not only about procedures and medication - it is also about mental and emotional resilience.
Caring for yourself during IVF may include:
• Seeking professional psychological support
• Communicating openly as partners
• Avoiding harmful habits such as excessive alcohol intake and recreational drugs
• Prioritising balanced nutrition and proper hydration
IVF is a journey that deserves support, not silence.

We are incredibly proud to share that our Medical Director, Dr Lawrence Gobetz, has been invited as an International Expert Speaker at the 3rd Polish Society of Hysteroscopy - Congress Polskie Towarzystwo Histeroskopii
With more than four decades of surgical experience, Dr Gobetz continues to contribute to the global advancement of minimally invasive gynaecological surgery.
His upcoming lecture on Hysteroscopic Mechanical Tissue Removal of FIGO 1, 2 and 3 Submucosal Fibroids reflects the precision-based, tissue-sparing techniques he has championed throughout his career.
Mechanical hysteroscopy represents a significant evolution in operative gynaecology - prioritising accuracy, reduced trauma, and improved patient recovery.
Being invited to present this work on an international stage is both an honour for Dr Gobetz and a meaningful recognition of South African clinical expertise.
At Vitalab Fertility Clinic, we believe that clinical excellence extends beyond our theatre doors. It includes contributing to global medical dialogue, refining best practice, and continually improving outcomes for women.
We congratulate Dr Gobetz on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to the impact his work will continue to have - locally and internationally.
Arrive as a Patient. Leave as a Parent.
