Dr Himanshu Borase's clinic, as reflected in these patient accounts from Bourn Hall branches, projects a generally positive and humane image tempered by some operational inconsistencies. Many patients highlight a high degree of personal care: staff are repeatedly described as professional, kind, patient and reassuring, with individualized attention that helped patients navigate emotionally charged and complex fertility pathways. Several reviews praise clear explanations of procedures and treatment plans, prompt answers to questions, introductions from theatre staff and a sense of being treated with dignity regardless of funding source. Names such as Rhiannon and Isobel are singled out as memorable examples of staff who made a tangible difference, and one patient emphasized that NHS-funded care felt equivalent to a private experience, suggesting strong clinical bedside manner and equitable treatment delivery in many cases. Clinically, outcomes are mixed in the narrative but notable for heartening successes. One account celebrates a pregnancy beyond the first trimester after years of trying, crediting the team for helping achieve that goal and noting a sensitive response around the time of egg collection. These kinds of outcomes underline perceived competence in procedural care and reproductive medicine processes. Emotional support appears to be a consistent strength. Respondents describe compassion in difficult moments, including sensitive handling of bereavement just prior to an egg collection and availability for out of hours contact when needed. Patients felt supported not only medically but also emotionally, with staff proactively checking on physical and psychological wellbeing. However, recurring operational themes temper the overall praise. Administration and waiting times are a clear pain point in some branches, particularly the Wymondham site, where one patient documents an 18 month delay from GP referral to starting any treatment and reports having to chase appointments and next steps continuously. That delay, and a complaint about partner exclusion from correspondence despite multiple requests, highlight gaps in communications workflow and inclusivity that can erode trust. Branch variability is another theme: several reviewers contrast positive, efficient care at Norwich with slower service elsewhere. Theatre experiences are described positively, with staff introducing themselves and creating a comfortable environment. In sum, the clinic is characterized by strong interpersonal care, demonstrable clinical competence and meaningful emotional support, coupled with uneven administrative performance and occasional communication failures. Prospective patients should weigh the evident strengths in staff empathy and clinical outcomes against the potential for lengthy waits and the need to be proactive in managing appointments and correspondence.

Written in PATH's voice from this clinic's published HFEA data — reviewed before publishing, never generated live.
35-37 is the only age band currently reported for Dr Himanshu Borase, and it's where the clinic's rate of 38% sits above the national figure of 31% for that group. Overall, the clinic's live-birth rate is 70%, against a national average of 50% — a well above average result on HFEA's rating. This is a low-volume clinic with a small number of cycles recorded, so it's worth asking how consistent these figures have been over time.
It's a live-birth rate per embryo transferred, based on HFEA-verified regulated data covering 2016-18. Before comparing this figure with another clinic's, two checks are worth making: whether both are quoted per embryo transferred or per cycle started, since these are different measures, and which years each figure spans, as clinics don't all report on the same cycle. Asking the clinic to confirm both points directly is a sensible step.
Worth raising: what's included in the quoted price, and what add-on costs are typical — medication, freezing and storage are common gaps; what were your live-birth rates for my age group in the latest HFEA data, since only one age band is currently reported here; and how many cycles like mine you carry out each year, given this is a low-volume clinic. A good consultant will welcome all three questions.
