Dr. Raúl Olivares

Dr. Raúl Olivares

Medical Director and Gynecologist specialized in assisted reproduction
“I am one of those who believe that the final result is essential, but not the only thing that matters”

I would describe myself as a vocational doctor. As far as I can remember from my childhood, my dream was not to be a doctor; rather it was to bring children into the world. Firstly I made it come true in the delivery room, where I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and now before conception.

I am one of those who believes that while the end result is essential, it is not the only thing that matters. That is why I have always defined Barcelona IVF as a philosophical programme because, when we started it, we gave up many amenities in trying to fulfil our dream of successfully performing the medicine we like.

I truly believe that assisted reproduction should be like this, a strange combination of idealism whilst keeping our feet on the ground. The speed in which we acquire knowledge is dizzying and this leads to our results improving; however, we must of course always try to ensure that the entire process is worth it, without losing sight of the fact that our end goal is to fulfil the dreams of those that trust us.
