Reproduktionsmedizinisches Kompetenzzentrum Gießen und Marburg (UKGM)

The Reproduktionsmedizinisches Kompetenzzentrum Gießen und Marburg, known as RepKo (Reproductive Medicine Competence Center), is affiliated with University Hospital Gießen and Marburg (UKGM) and treats couples trying to conceive at a university level of care. The Marburg location offers the standard range of assisted reproduction: IVF, ICSI, insemination, and cryopreservation of embryos and eggs. As part of a university hospital, the center benefits from UKGM’s diagnostic and interdisciplinary infrastructure. In practice, this means that more complex combinations of findings can be handled directly within a larger medical network, without patients having to switch to external facilities for additional diagnostics. Patient comments particularly emphasize that the counseling at RepKo is not one-sidedly focused on expensive treatment steps. Instead, cost-benefit considerations are discussed openly and alternatives are brought up. Prof. Dr. Ziller is mentioned by name as a compassionate contact. Self-paying patients report being treated politely and respectfully on site. A recurring theme in the feedback is availability by phone, which several patients describe as difficult. If you are planning an initial inquiry, you should take this into account and, if necessary, look at alternative ways to make contact. Waiting times on site can also be longer.
