Patient: Dr. Malpani, I’ve been reading so much about IVF, and I’m honestly overwhelmed. Every website says something different. There’s so much jargon—AMH, blastocyst, PGT-A, ERA—and every clinic seems to be offering their own set of “advanced” packages. I don’t know what’s truly necessary and what’s just marketing. How do I make sense of it all?
Dr. Malpani: You’re not alone. Most IVF patients today are highly intelligent and proactive—like you. But they’re still confused, not because they’re incapable of understanding, but because the IVF ecosystem is filled with conflicting, commercialised, and sometimes deliberately vague information. It’s hard to know who to trust.
Patient: That’s exactly how I feel. Every clinic promises “individualised care” and “higher success rates,” but when I ask specific questions, I either get vague answers or get pushed toward expensive add-on tests.
Dr. Malpani: Yes, and that’s one of the biggest problems in the fertility industry today. Many IVF clinics operate like sales centres rather than medical establishments. They upsell costly procedures like PGT-A, ERA, immunological testing, or even embryo glue—often without clear scientific justification. And worse, they keep patients in the dark by withholding important information, like embryo quality photos, lab reports, or the actual progress of your IVF cycle.
Patient: So how do I as a patient take control? I want to make informed choices, not be told to just “trust the process.”
Dr. Malpani: That’s a very important question, and the answer lies in patient education and transparency.
At Malpani Clinic, we’ve always believed that the best IVF outcomes happen when patients become active participants in their treatment. You don’t need to be a doctor to understand the basics. In fact, I’ve seen that when patients understand what’s happening, they make smarter decisions and are far more emotionally prepared.
Patient: But it’s hard to learn when everything is so technical. And I don’t always get the time with doctors to clarify every doubt.
Dr. Malpani: Exactly. And that’s why I created something I believe will be a game-changer for IVF patients—not just in India, but globally.
Let me introduce you to my digital AI twin. It’s a free online consultation tool that mirrors my knowledge, approach, and philosophy. You can ask it any IVF-related question—about protocols, success rates, test results, embryo quality, and more—and it will give you clear, evidence-based, non-commercial answers.

Patient: Wait… you’ve created an AI version of yourself?
Dr. Malpani: Yes! It’s built on everything I’ve written, spoken, and taught about IVF over the last 30+ years. It reflects my values—no upselling, no jargon, no hiding information. Just honest answers that help you make the best decisions for yourself.
And the best part? It’s free and available 24/7. So even if it’s midnight and you’re wondering whether to freeze your embryos or transfer them fresh, you’ll get a thoughtful response without needing to book an appointment.
Patient: That sounds incredible. But how do I know I can trust it?
Dr. Malpani: Great question. You should never blindly trust any source—not even me! But here’s what I can tell you: this AI twin is not designed to sell you anything. It doesn’t recommend treatments you don’t need. It doesn’t push clinics or labs. It’s designed to empower you with knowledge.
Of course, it won’t replace one-on-one medical care. But it will equip you with the right questions to ask your doctor. That’s how you level the playing field.
Patient: Why don’t more clinics offer this kind of transparency?
Dr. Malpani: Because, frankly, transparency isn’t profitable for most commercial clinics. If patients start asking tough questions about success rates, embryo grading, unnecessary tests, or why their embryos weren’t photographed—it disrupts the revenue model.
But this has to change. Patients deserve honesty. You’re investing your time, emotions, and often your life savings into IVF. You shouldn’t be left guessing.
Patient: You’ve been very open with your views. But isn’t there a risk that other clinics will criticise or isolate you for exposing these issues?
Dr. Malpani: They already do—and I don’t mind. I’m not trying to please other clinics. My loyalty is to my patients. I became a doctor to heal and educate, not to build an IVF empire. If calling out unethical practices helps even one patient avoid being misled, it’s worth it.
Patient: I appreciate that. So what should I do next?
Dr. Malpani: Start by educating yourself. Use my website www.drmalpani.com and the AI twin to explore topics at your own pace. Understand the basic IVF process—ovarian stimulation, embryo grading, day 3 vs. day 5 transfer, freezing vs. fresh, and so on.
Then, when you do meet with a clinic—ask better questions. Insist on seeing your embryo photos. Request written reports. Demand explanations for every suggested test or procedure. And most importantly—trust your instincts. If something feels off, it probably is.
Patient: Thank you, Dr. Malpani. I finally feel like I have a roadmap. And I’m definitely going to try out your AI twin.
Dr. Malpani: That’s exactly why I built it. Because informed patients are empowered patients. And empowered patients make smarter, safer decisions.
