About this clinic

IVF-SAAR operates two locations in southwestern Germany: the main site on Europaallee in Saarbrücken and a branch practice in Kaiserslautern. The physician team of Dr. Lars Happel, Dr. Sascha Tauchert, Kathrin Alt, Michaela von Blohn, and Dr. Anette Russu covers the reproductive medicine range from basic diagnostics to specialized laboratory treatment. Lab director Dr. Martin Greuner is responsible for the on-site IVF lab. The treatment offering includes IVF and ICSI, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and cryopreservation of eggs and embryos. For couples with repeated implantation failure or genetic risks, the ERA test to determine the optimal timing of transfer and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) are available. Men with reduced sperm production can be treated by TESE; the center’s own andrology lab performs semen analysis directly on site. The offering is complemented by time-lapse embryo imaging, assisted hatching, and sperm donation through partner sperm banks. IVF-SAAR is recorded in the German IVF Registry (Deutsches IVF-Register, DIR) and publishes success rate tables for IVF and ICSI on its own website. The practice holds a TÜV certification, a permit under the German Tissue Act (Gewebegesetz), and Tricare approval for U.S. military personnel at the surrounding bases. Quality assurance also includes participation in the QuaDeGa and RZBW programs. IVF-SAAR explicitly offers treatment for women without a partner as well as same-sex couples; corresponding information on legal and tax questions is communicated through the website’s news ticker. Psychosocial counseling is provided through partner organizations. Regular information evenings and an annual Saarbrücken symposium allow interested people to inform themselves thoroughly before treatment.
