Dr Pereira is very experienced, we successfully got pregnant without ivf with pocs pretty seriously. He has good judgement and you can fully trust him. His team and staff are very organized and very patient as well. I like the downtown office and team most of appointments are very on time. It is not a easy process even I was only on pills but I’m very happy to be pregnant in 6 months, it is way over my expectation.

This review is jointly written with my wife who was under the care of Dr. Pereira. Dr. Pereira is a breath of fresh air in the Canadian medical system that can be quite frustrating. With training and professional experience in both the US and abroad, Dr. Pereira brings a level of attention, urgency and care that is unfortunately not always demonstrated by other medical professionals.

My wife underwent emergency reproductive surgery and subsequent infertility treatment under Dr. Pereira’s care. Dr. Pereira’s exceptional personal and empathetic approach was evident throughout.

For instance, my wife was initially triaged at a Toronto hospital. After several hours of tests, the hospital needed to rush my wife to a second hospital for emergency surgery. Upon arrival at the receiving hospital, no records of my wife were found, and the hospital wanted to go through the entire triage process again. Dr. Pereira intervened and personally came down to Emergency, found us in the waiting room and escorted us away, sparing us from the redundant process. I am not sure how many busy surgeons would do this for their patients – we are forever grateful for this.

Both pre and post-surgery, Dr. Pereira was thorough in his explanations and made sure we understood the procedure, its implications and every next step. He would follow up on evenings and weekends, working around the clock and is incredibly responsive to emails making sure the clinic followed up with us in a timely manner on every matter. Dr. Pereira provided us with the confidence that everything was going to be okay… and it was. Dr. Pereira performed the surgery brilliantly – his surgical skill let to a smooth operation with no complications, minimal scarring, and a swift recovery.

Post-surgery, Dr. Pereira also took care of our interfertility treatment - Dr. Pereira explained all options, listened to our preferences, and designed the perfect plan – and that is not an overstatement. We were immediately successful with his treatment plan when the odds were stacked against us. Navigating reproductive surgery and infertility is daunting and leaves one feeling vulnerable. Dr. Pereira’s compassionate approach and dedication to us as his patients made all the difference. He genuinely makes you feel like you are his most important patient when you are under his care. It means the world – thank you Dr. Pereira for playing such an important role in our fertility journey!

From our first consultation to our final appointment, Dr. Nigel Pereira exceeded all our expectations.

Dr. Pereira is a highly knowledgeable and caring professional. He and his team performed surgery which eventually helped me to get pregnant. He always takes the time to explain all our options in detail, ensuring we fully understand each step of the process.

What I really liked was that I could get his support even during holiday times when everyone else is off, especially when I developed some pregnancy complications. I felt heard and respected. He also has a great sense of humour. His team was great, starting from the intake process until the moment I was referred to an OB; they scheduled all tests quickly and always followed up afterwards with the results.

Choosing Dr. Pereira as our fertility doctor was one of the best decisions we've made. We highly recommend him to anyone facing fertility challenges. His combination of professional excellence and compassionate care is truly exceptional.

Dr. Pereira is the most empathetic and caring doctor, I have met so far. His care towards patients is evident from the time and attention he provides which is above and beyond his professional duties.
We were referred to him for fertility treatment after we lost our 19 week pregnancy. We were devastated as it had taken us 3 years of all sorts of treatments including 6 failed IUIs to get pregnant for the first time. His kind words gave us energy to start fresh and he was thorough listener. He listened and examined our history with attention to every detail. We got pregnant again, with minimal intervention and medication. Dr. Pereira has been a god sent angel to us! Thank you doctor and entire MSF team.

Amazing person and doctor. Very thorough. Did a few round of fertility meds with him. He always took the time out of his day to call me with results even after I had spoke to the nursing. I always knew our next steps. Excellent bedside manor. Currently pregnant.

My husband and I went through the IVF process, and we were fortunate enough to have Dr. Pereira as our doctor. I can’t express enough how grateful we are to have had him by our side throughout this journey.

Dr. Pereira's expertise, care and dedication made all the difference in our successful IVF. He took the time to explain every step in great detail, ensuring that we had a thorough understanding of what to expect. His ability to simplify complex medical concepts made us feel so comfortable.

Dr. Pereira treated us with love and respect, making us feel valued and supported every step of the way and he always made himself available to address any concerns or answer any questions we had. Even through emails, Dr. Pereira was incredibly responsive. He consistently went above and beyond to provide us with hope, and his words of encouragement meant the world to us during those challenging moments and we felt like we were in safe hands.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Pereira for all the support. Words can’t express how grateful we are for his guidance and the role he played in making our dreams come true.

We highly recommend Dr. Pereira to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated doctor for their IVF journey.

I went through egg freezing and initially had a challenging time as my body wasn't receptive to the hormones. After the first failed attempt I met with Dr. Pereira - who was absolutely amazing!! He was so kind and thoughtful - he had such a calming energy that really helped me overcome my anxiety and stress through the process. He always made himself available in-person or over the phone. He walked me through a different protocol that we wanted to try for egg freezing and was very knowledge. I felt like he cared and really took the time to make me feel comfortable and explain how this protocol work. He is by far one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I would strongly recommend him to anyone going through fertility treatments.
