  More about this clinic

  Dr. Artemis Karkanaki's practice is located at Μητροπόλεως 76 in Thessaloniki (546 22). The doctor states that she deals exclusively with fertility problems and devotes all of her time to the evaluation and treatment of infertility.

Egg donation is intended for women who cannot produce their own eggs.
