Choosing an IVF doctor is one of the biggest decisions a couple makes. Mumbai has some of India’s most experienced fertility specialists and well-equipped IVF laboratories, but there is no official ranking of the best IVF doctor, so this guide explains how to choose, names five established centres couples consider, and the questions to ask. We also explain why many couples try the HART protocol from Welling Homeopathy first, and why they may not need IVF at all.

Best IVF doctors in Mumbai at a glance
- No official ranking: there is no government list of the best IVF doctor in Mumbai; use criteria, not a top-5 name.
- Ask this: what is your live birth rate per started cycle for women of my age and diagnosis?
- IVF success reality: varies widely with age; quoted rates of 70% or 80% need an exact definition.
- Before IVF: HART, with a 68% success rate in its first 6-month cycle, and a free first assessment.
- Do not wait if: you are over 40, your AMH is very low or both tubes are blocked: consult us this week and plan alongside IVF.
Before you book IVF: give HART a chance
Before you book IVF, give HART one chance
With our experience and a 68% success rate in the first treatment cycle of 6 months, many couples who start with the Homeopathic Assisted Reproductive Treatment (HART) protocol may not need IVF at all. Your first consultation and assessment with our specialists is free, and if IVF is the right step for you, we will say so.
Many couples search for the best IVF doctor when the real question is whether they need IVF at all. Fertility difficulties can arise from the woman, the man or both partners, and many causes, such as PCOS, endometriosis, low AMH, blocked tubes, low sperm count or motility, azoospermia and unexplained infertility, are looked at in detail by our specialists before any plan is made.
HART is offered alongside the advice of your fertility specialist, never in place of it. Please continue any treatment your doctor has advised unless they tell you otherwise.
Our clinical experience with HART before IVF
But wait! Before you go for IVF, why don't you opt for the safe and effective Homeopathy Assisted Reproduction Therapy ( HART ) developed at the chain of Welling Homeopathy Clinics to conceive naturally? It has helped couples from over 108 countries to have a baby, naturally without artificial treatments like IVF.
With our experience and a success rate of 68% in the first treatment cycle of 6 months, give us a chance: you may not need IVF at all.
Free first consultation and assessment by our specialist to see if our tailor-made treatment can help you also, to conceive naturally.
First and the largest Homeopathic infertility clinic in the world with satisfied patients from 108 countries.
Cost-effective treatment that works in helping you get pregnant naturally.
Gentle, non-hormonal medicines without any side effects, safe for mother and baby.
Sadly, every delay in starting your treatment reduces our success rate in helping you.
The treatment treats the root cause in men and women that's causing the difficulty in conceiving.
Why conceive artificially when you can conceive safely at your home, naturally?
We don't recommend IVF as a first option. Rather you can opt for the extensively researched & specially formulated Homeopathy treatment for infertility at Welling Clinic before going directly for intrusive IVF-like artificial treatments. The treatment has helped couples like you to conceive naturally without IVF.
Rarely though, depending on the illness, age of the husband & wife and circumstances beyond the scope of our Homeopathic treatment protocol, we recommend artificial treatments like IVF, which is very rare.
How to choose the best IVF doctor in Mumbai
The best doctor for one couple may not be the best for another, so look at these five things rather than a name on a list:
- Relevant experience: how long the doctor has worked specifically in reproductive medicine, and how often they do IVF procedures
- Experience with your diagnosis: a doctor experienced in PCOS may not have the same experience with severe male infertility or recurrent implantation failure
- Transparent success rates: ask for the live birth rate per started cycle for your age group and diagnosis, not a headline percentage
- The embryology laboratory: embryologist experience, embryo culture and freezing, blastocyst culture, quality control
- Clear communication: why IVF is being recommended, what the alternatives are, the expected success, the risks, the visits needed, the total cost and what happens if the first cycle fails
IVF doctors and centres in Mumbai that couples consider
The following are five established names and centres that couples may consider when looking for IVF treatment in Mumbai. This is an editorial guide, not a claim that one doctor is universally better than another, and we have no association with any of these clinics. Details change, so check each centre’s current information.
- Dr. Hrishikesh Pai and Bloom IVF: a well-known name in assisted reproductive medicine with extensive experience in IVF and ICSI; the centre offers IVF, ICSI, IUI, egg and embryo freezing, fertility preservation and male infertility treatment
- Dr. Jatin P. Shah and Mumbai Fertility Clinic & IVF Center: long associated with fertility treatment in Mumbai, with IVF, ICSI, IUI and donor programmes
- Dr. Firuza Parikh and Fertiltree at Jaslok Hospital: a prominent name in reproductive medicine, offering fertility services in a hospital setting, which can help when several specialties are involved
- Dr. Indira Hinduja and Hinduja IVF Centre at P.D. Hinduja National Hospital: Dr. Hinduja is recognised as a pioneer of assisted reproduction in India, historically associated with the birth of India’s first test-tube baby
- Jilla IVF: another assisted reproduction centre that couples in Mumbai research
Whichever centre you consider, ask for current success data for your age and diagnosis, and understand what the treatment package includes.
What to ask at your first IVF consultation
Take your previous reports with you and ask direct questions:
- About your diagnosis: what is causing our infertility? Does my partner need more tests? Is IVF definitely necessary?
- About IVF: why are you recommending IVF? Would ICSI be required? How many eggs do you expect? Fresh or frozen embryo transfer?
- About success: what is the live birth rate for women of my age and for couples with our diagnosis? How does our previous treatment affect our chances?
- About cost: what does the package include? Are medicines, ICSI, embryo freezing and storage included? What extra charges should we expect?
IVF success rate in Mumbai: what the numbers mean
There is no single IVF success rate for Mumbai. Success depends on the woman’s age, egg quality, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, the cause of infertility, embryo quality, uterine health, the number of embryos transferred, previous attempts and the quality of the laboratory.
A clinic claiming a 70% or 80% success rate should be asked exactly what the percentage means: a pregnancy rate is not the same as a live birth rate, and a first cycle in a young woman cannot be compared with a 42-year-old with low reserve and several failed cycles. See our page on the success rate of IVF by age and by cycle.
Our view on IVF success rates
If you are looking for an IVF clinic that has the highest success rate in Mumbai, I would advise you are looking at the wrong parameter. In Mumbai, we have the best IVF doctors in India and some of the most modern well equipped IVF clinics. But when you see the success rate, even the best IVF doctors cannot have a success rate higher than 22-25%. And that's because a human body is meant to conceive naturally and not in a laboratory.
IVF cost in Mumbai
The cost depends on the plan and typically includes consultation, investigations, medicines, monitoring scans, egg retrieval, anaesthesia, embryology, ICSI, embryo culture and transfer, with embryo freezing and extra tests billed separately. Ask each clinic for an itemised estimate. See our page on IVF treatment cost in Mumbai.
How HART works, and who should not wait
The HART protocol has four steps: a pre-treatment interview with tests, analysis and discussion of your case; nutritional and lifestyle advice; a treatment plan designed just for you within a fixed time period; and follow-up, with a treatment cycle lasting six months. Read more on our page on homeopathy infertility treatment (HART).
Age and time matter. If you are over 40, your AMH is very low, both tubes are blocked or you have been told IVF is urgent, do not wait: consult our specialists this week, and we can plan HART alongside your IVF plan. Dr. Sourabh Welling and the Welling Homeopathy team have over 25 years of experience treating patients, in our Mumbai clinics and online.
Consult a Welling specialist about IVF and natural conception
Do not delay: share your reports and your history of treatment so far, and our specialists will plan your personal homeopathic treatment, in person at our Mumbai clinics or online from anywhere.
Frequently asked questions about IVF in Mumbai
1. Who is the best IVF doctor in Mumbai?
There is no official ranking. The best doctor depends on your diagnosis, age and history, so compare experience with your diagnosis, live birth rates for your age group, the lab and communication, and see the five centres listed above.
2. Which IVF centre has the highest success rate in Mumbai?
Success rates are not directly comparable between centres because patients differ, so ask for live birth rate per started cycle for your age and diagnosis.
3. How much does IVF cost in Mumbai?
It varies by clinic and plan; ask for an itemised estimate. See our page on IVF treatment cost in Mumbai.
4. Should I try homeopathy before IVF?
Many couples do. Our specialists assess both partners first and tell you honestly whether HART can be tried first or whether IVF should not be delayed.
5. How long should I try HART before IVF?
A treatment cycle lasts six months. Your specialist will advise based on your age, AMH and reports, and some couples plan HART alongside IVF.
6. What is the success rate of HART in the first cycle?
At Welling Homeopathy our success rate is 68% in the first treatment cycle of six months, and any delay in starting reduces it.
7. Can I take homeopathic treatment along with IVF medicines?
Many couples do. Tell both your fertility specialist and our specialists what you are taking, and do not stop prescribed medicines on your own.
8. What if IVF has already failed?
Our specialists see many couples after failed IVF cycles. See our page on what to do if IVF fails.
9. Can I consult Welling Homeopathy online before choosing an IVF doctor?
Yes. You can share your reports and consult our specialists online from anywhere. We have been consulting patients online for 25 years.
