Tambre, Specialists in Advanced Reproductive Medicine
Tambre is one of the leading fertility clinics in Spain. It is characterised by its high success rates, among the highest in Europe. To achieve this, it uses the best technology and is at the forefront of fertility treatment provision. Focused on the patient and individualised care, the clinic has experienced professionals who develop personalised reproductive medicine with the aim of achieving pregnancy in the shortest possible time.
High success rates and specialisation have turned Tambre into a second opinion clinic, trying to help and answer patients' concerns in order to solve the most complex medical cases. Its treatment specialities include cases of low ovarian reserve, embryo implantation failure, repeated miscarriages, endometriosis or immunological factors that may be preventing pregnancy, among others.
The fertility centre is located in the heart of Madrid, in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods of the capital, in El Viso. We promote advanced reproductive medicine by putting the patient at the centre in order to achieve pregnancy in the shortest possible time. We also accompany our patients through the process from an emotional point of view.
Tambre is a pioneering assisted reproduction clinic in many ways. It supports research and innovation with its Foundation, which allows reproductive medicine professionals to train at its facilities and maintains a constant output of scientific research to improve treatment and find new solutions.
Madrid's first sperm bank
It is one of the oldest and most experienced assisted reproduction centres in Spain, founded in 1978. It was the first clinic in Madrid to have a sperm bank and one of the first to have its own egg bank.
Our success is due in part to the decades of experience of our fertility experts, who together can look back on more than four decades of working in this field. We are also able to achieve outstanding results through our use of state-of-the-art technology, research and innovation.
Among the milestones that has contributed to Tambre becoming a centre of excellence in reproductive medicine was achieving the ISO 9001 quality certification in 2002, the first clinic to do so. In 2009, we set up a pioneering Reproductive Immunology Unit which was the first of its kind in Spain. Its aim was to help women who suffered embryo implantation failure and repeated miscarriages because of an immunological issue.
In 2015, we decided to take an important step towards achieving our goal of shortening pregnancy times by incorporating the latest generation of Time Lapse GERI® incubators. The embryos develop in a controlled and stress-free environment. This is a great benefit because it increases the rate of arrival to blastocyst and helps to select the best embryo to transfer to the mother's uterus.
In addition to the use of incubators, Tambre is a pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence to improve processes. We have the Fenomatch facial biometry system to assist in cases of IVF treatment with ovodonation. The system ensures that any future baby will have a close physical... resemblance to its parents.
Attention in the mother tongue of our patients is fundamental, which is why our team speaks your language. Our doctors are fluent in English, French, Italian and German. We can also provide care in Dutch and Arabic.
Clinica Tambre IVF Treatment Options
The following fertility treatments and procedures are available at Clinica Tambre:
• IUI (intrauterine insemination) and AID (artificial insemination with donor)
• IVF/ICSI
• Egg donation (own egg bank)
• Sperm donation (own sperm bank)
• Embryo donation
• Fertility Preservation/Social Freezing
• the ROPA method (Reciprocal IVF for same-sex lesbian couples)
• Embryo freezing
• Sperm freezing
Also, diagnostics tests are available:
• CometFertility® is a diagnostic test performed to obtain a diagnosis related to the male factor. This technique analyses the DNA fragmentation that can occur in a sperm sample.
• Chromosperm and FISH – these tests allow embryologists from the Andrology Laboratory to evaluate the global chromosome content of the sperm cells in your partner’s sample. This is a fast and effective way of detecting the overall genetic load that could affect the success of your treatment.
• KIR and HLA-C Genotyping – dedicated to patients with a history of implantation failure and recurrent miscarriages. It is a study of the compatibility between uterine KIR receptors (killer immunoglobulin-like receptors) and the HLA-C molecules that the embryo will present and that will be recognized by these receptors.
• myPrenatal® – is an advanced prenatal screening test, which analyses cell-free foetal DNA and studies the possible existence of chromosomal abnormalities. It detects three of the most frequent trisomies in the foetus: Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome, as well as two sex chromosomal alterations: Turner syndrome (45, X) and Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY).
• PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) is an Assisted Reproduction technique that allows us to study the genetic material of embryos before they are transferred and select the healthiest embryos to ensure that no chromosome or genetic abnormalities are present.
At Clinica Tambre, patients can benefit from the following technologies being applied:
• Embryo monitoring (GERI-incubator) allows monitoring of the embryos through a time-lapse system without extracting them from the medium
• Fenomatch – the latest technique to find an egg or sperm donor who has a similar phenotype to you and your partner
• RI Witness™ – a security system that identifies the semen, egg, and embryo samples of each patient
At Tambre we know that the path we will take to conceive a new life is based on the pillar of trust and support for our patients, who are our raison d'être.
That’s why we offer a service which places them at the front and centre of everything we do.
Our goal is to offer peace of mind at times when there is a rollercoaster of emotions and to be sure that we take care of them by providing them with all the information they need, both in terms of treatment and the emotional impact that infertility can create. This has become the cornerstone of our clinic.
Our team of medical coordinators are responsible for providing an holistic and thorough medical and emotional programme, tailored to address the specific needs of each individual patient.
Every patient is unique, and that is the way they are supported at Tambre. Evidence of that mutual trust and patient recognition are the signs of affection and feedback that we receive every day. There is no better feedback that when a patient says they consider us as a part of their family.
Same doctor, same nurse and coordinator
In addition to being attended to by the same doctor and nurse, patients are connected to a coordinator from the medical monitoring team at Tambre who remains at their side, offering all the information needed and to resolve any questions or concerns that may arise.
We want our patients to know that they always have our support even though they may be physically far away from the clinic between visits. This continuity of care is a pillar of our patient centre approach to care and support.
Our Patient Care team is divided into three groups to enhance treatment: Fertility Guidance, First Visit, and Tambre Care. The first group assists the patient from the initial contact and introduces the clinic. Next, the First Visit team welcomes patients, and Tambre Care ensures excellent post-treatment follow-up.
Dedicated coordinator
With more than 45 years of experience in fertility care, at Tambre we know how important it is to give peace of mind to patients who may be experiencing stress and anxiety as they plan and receive treatment. That’s why a dedicated coordinator is always on hand to ensure patients feel fully informed and remain an active participant in their treatment programme. We believe an informed patient is an empowered patient and this is evident in the feedback we receive from every patient who visits at Tambre.
This close relationship between our patients and team members begins when the patient leaves the initial consultation with their diagnosis and starts treatment. Therefore, this application is very much focused on our medical monitoring team, who are involved every day and with each patient, anticipating their needs and addressing any questions they may have whilst at the clinic or when they are at home.
A multi-lingual team
For Tambre it is essential to speak to each person in their mother tongue, a fundamental link. Our team of coordinators are multi-lingual which ensures a high level of communication and interaction. This is offered by phone, email and video call – the flexibility is important as it empowers the patient and allows them to contact their dedicated team member at a time which is suitable to them. This is another example of the way that Tambre is patient led.
At Tambre, many of the team members have needed reproductive medicine to be parents. We know what it means, and we have implemented many improvements thanks to our own experience. We want our patient’s journeys to parenthood to be the best experience they could wish for and this is why we are there, by their side throughout the process and beyond – we believe communication with the patient post treatment is also key to ensuring the experience is as good as it can be.
