Fertility care and assisted reproductive technology (ART) have undergone a dramatic transformation in recent decades. With 10–15 percent of couples worldwide facing infertility, the demand for advanced and compassionate reproductive care continues to grow. Fertility medicine now combines advanced science, empathetic patient care, and individualized treatment. With clinical interventions, the emotional and psychological health of patients has also become a critical component of treatment, and fertility clinics have come to adopt holistic models of treatment involving counseling, nutritional therapy, and stress management. Located in the rapidly developing region of Belgaum, Karnataka, Patted Fertility & Research Centre has emerged as a trusted name in reproductive medicine.

Founded in 2011 by Dr Shobhana Patted, a gynecologist with over 30 years of experience, the center reflects her deep clinical expertise and ethical commitment. The foundation of this medical facility rests upon medical practice that combines experience and empathy with ethics. Dr Shobhana Patted’s professional timeline started with an MBBS degree from Bangalore Medical College, after which she became a specialist in the domain of obstetrics and gynecology. She worked with renowned institutions, such as Gunashila Fertility Center and Kelly Hospital, and was a professor there for nearly 15 years.

Dr Sulochana Gunashila, under whose guidance she began her career, inspired her to begin the center with the vision of putting patient care and scientific ethics above commercial gains. Her very hands-on practice of daily patient care guarantees the clinic’s ability to continue with its mission of delivering individualized, caring care to every patient. Dr Shobhana Patted emphasizes that fertility treatment is not ‘one size fits all’. Instead, it is a highly individualized process that is sensitive to the recognizability of every patient’s medical and emotional profile.

Comprehensive Fertility Care Powered by Innovation

At the core of Patted Fertility & Research Centre’s services is a comprehensive approach to fertility treatment. The clinic addresses various infertility levels, offering both Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) for less complex cases and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) for more serious conditions. Advanced diagnostic procedures, such as Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and Hysterolaparoscopy, allow doctors to evaluate reproductive organs, enabling them to prescribe well-targeted treatments. The center is a pioneer in North Karnataka, being the first to implement Preimplantation

Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy(PGTA), which helps identify chromosomal abnormalities in embryos. This screening ensures that the best embryos are transferred, resulting in a higher chance of pregnancy. Additionally, the use of Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA) determines the ideal timeframe for implantation, further increasing the likelihood of success.

The center is at the forefront of research, offering regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy options alongside its reproductive treatments. A key advantage is the on-site embryology laboratory, which actively engages with patients throughout their treatments. This integration allows for optimal embryo monitoring and seamless communication between laboratory and clinical staff. In addition to over seeing embryo development, embryologists assist patients by simplifying complex concepts, fostering understanding and trust.

Patted Fertility & Research Centre isn’t just adapting to the future of reproductive care, it’s defining it

Holistic, Patient-Centered Support

Fertility treatment encompasses much more than medical assistance, so Patted Fertility & Research Centre provides individualized care to every patient. With the support of medical, nutritional, and psychological counselors, patients can navigate the emotional and mental challenges that accompany infertility. Regular monitoring of parameters such as BMI, anemia, thyroid health, and stress levels is crucial for successful conception. One of the center’s inspiring success stories involves a couple who conceived after more than 22 years of trying, illustrating the power of personalized, persistent care. Transparency is a cornerstone of the center’s philosophy. Patients receive clear, detailed explanations of treatment costs and processes, supporting informed decision-making.

Involving embryologists in consultations helps the center explain lab findings in a way that patients can easily understand and trust. The slogan, ‘Every person’s case is different and needs special attention’, reflects the ongoing commitment to providing personalized care. Led by a team of over 50 experts, including clinicians, embryologists, counselors, lab technicians, and support staff, the center prioritizes both strong results and safe procedures. The HealthCare Institute is NABH accredited, ensuring adherence to the highest standards of quality, governance, and patient care. Improved patient management systems have decreased waiting times and enhanced treatment satisfaction, with feedback mechanisms in place to continuously improve services.

Vision for the Future

As the field of fertility care evolves, so does the vision for Patted Fertility and Research Centre. Under the leadership of Dr Shobhana Patted, the center aims not only to keep pace with rapid innovations but to lead the way in ethical, patient-first fertility medicine. Future growth focuses on deepening clinical expertise and expanding educational outreach rather than increasing physical locations. Plans include establishing research centers, enhancing digital education about fertility, and broadening community initiatives to help more people access fertility care.

The center places a high value on technology, regularly incorporating new genetic tests, regenerative therapies, and patient-specific treatments to improve outcomes. At the heart of this vision, embryologists play a crucial role, supporting patients by explaining complex scientific concepts with kindness and clarity, fostering encouragement and understanding. Dr Shobhana Patted’s vision is clear, which is to cultivate a sanctuary where cutting-edge science meets soulful care, ensuring every patient regardless of background finds hope, dignity, and personalized guidance on their path to parenthood.
