Owner-doctor model. Every cycle reviewed by Dr. Raghavan himself.

There is a particular kind of fertility care that disappears the moment a clinic grows past a single conscience. Files get handed off. Cycles get standardised. The face you saw last month is on leave next month. We built JJ IVF as the opposite of that.
Dr. Raghavan opened these doors at Pottammal Junction nearly three decades ago, on a quiet conviction: that fertility — among the most personal medicine there is — deserves to be practised by one doctor who knows the whole arc of your story. Every consultation. Every retrieval. Every transfer. Every difficult conversation, when one is needed.
The room is small on purpose. The technology is current — IVF, ICSI, IMSI, TESA, vitrification, operative endoscopy. The pace is not.
From a single diagnostic visit to a multi-cycle ART programme — every plan is written, costed, and walked through with both partners. Alternatives are always named.
The complete cycle — controlled ovarian stimulation, monitored retrieval, embryology in our own lab, and transfer with sustained luteal support.
A single, carefully selected sperm placed directly into each egg under the microscope. IMSI adds high-magnification morphology selection.
A first, low-intervention step — washed and concentrated sperm placed in the uterus at the optimal hour of ovulation.
Day-care retrieval directly from the testis or epididymis when ejaculate is unavailable. Paired with ICSI.
Vitrification for fertility preservation — for medical reasons, for surplus embryos in a fresh cycle, or for life timing.
Coordinated donor-egg, donor-sperm and surrogacy cycles, with full counselling and regulatory adherence to the ART (Regulation) Act, India.
A complete diagnostic workup — hormone panel, ovarian-reserve assessment (AMH, AFC), tubal patency, semen analysis, and where indicated, hysteroscopy or laparoscopy.
Diagnostic and operative laparoscopy & hysteroscopy — endometriosis excision, fibroid management, tubal surgery, adhesiolysis. Day-care where possible.
We do not outsource cycles to partner labs. Every retrieval, every fertilisation, every transfer is handled in-house, under conditions held to tight tolerance, and reviewed personally by Dr. Raghavan. The technology is current; the pace is unhurried.
No two paths are the same — but every path follows roughly this rhythm, and every step is something we walk together.
An unhurried visit. Your story, your history, your questions. Forty-five minutes minimum — no clock on the wall.
Hormone panel, ovarian-reserve markers (AMH, AFC), tubal patency studies, semen analysis. Imaging where needed.
A written, costed plan walked through with both partners. Alternatives are named. The lowest-intervention path that still works is the one we begin with.
Whether IUI, IVF, ICSI or a day-care laparoscopy — performed and supervised by Dr. Raghavan personally. No locum, no rotation.
First-trimester scanning here. Then either continued shared-care through delivery, or warm handover to your chosen obstetrician with full records.
A six-week visit. Sometimes a thank-you photograph for the wall. Sometimes a conversation about the next one.
Senior Consultant in Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecological Endoscopy. Dr. Raghavan founded JJ IVF Gynae Centre on a single, stubborn idea — that fertility care should be unhurried, owned by one doctor across the full arc of a family's journey, and answerable to no roster except the patient in front of him.
His clinical interests sit at the harder edges of the field, where personal attention matters most. He is a Member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences.

JJ IVF brought the rays of hope back into our life. Words feel small for what this team did for us.
We thank JJ IVF Centre and all the staff from the bottom of our heart. They walked the whole road with us.
Three IVF cycles elsewhere. We came to Dr. Raghavan in autumn and held our son the following winter. He never once let us feel like a case number.
What I will remember is that he sat down for forty minutes when our first cycle failed and explained, without hurry, every reason it might have. The honesty was its own kindness.
If your question isn't here, it deserves a longer reply than a webpage. Please call us — or book a first visit and we will spend the time.
From the first day of stimulation to the pregnancy test is about four to six weeks. Add two to three weeks before that for the planning visit and any baseline scans. We do not rush the preparation phase — it is the part of the cycle that most affects the outcome.
Success in IVF is meaningfully different for every couple — age, ovarian reserve, cause of infertility, sperm parameters and uterine factors all reset the number. Dr. Raghavan will walk you through realistic per-cycle and cumulative odds for your specific situation during the planning visit. We do not publish a single headline number because no headline number is honest.
Costs vary by treatment (IUI is the most affordable, IVF with ICSI sits in the middle, donor and surrogacy programmes are the most involved). We hand you a fully itemised, written estimate at your planning visit — no hidden additions later. Discussing money openly is part of the work; please ask.
Bring any prior reports — semen analyses, hormone tests, scans, prescriptions, operation notes. If your menstrual cycle is regular, we don't need a particular day; if it is irregular, please mention this when booking. Come together if possible. We meet both partners on the first visit.
Fertility treatment is not covered by most Indian health-insurance policies; a small number of corporate plans do include it — please bring your policy document and we will check coverage. We offer staged-payment plans for IVF and ART cycles. EMI through partnered card programmes is available.
Yes. The clinic is owner-doctor led by design. Every consultation, every retrieval, every transfer, every laparoscopy is performed and supervised by Dr. Raghavan personally. There is no rotating roster.
We sit down afterwards — not on the phone, in person — and review every step honestly. Sometimes the answer is to adjust the protocol and try again; sometimes it is to investigate further; sometimes it is to consider a different pathway altogether. The next step is always a shared decision.
Yes — a substantial part of our practice is patients from across Kerala, the Gulf, and South India. We coordinate visit clustering so most of the monitoring scans can happen in a focused 10 — 14 day window.
Share what feels relevant — we'll reach out within one working day to confirm a time. If something feels urgent, please call us directly: 0495 274 1816.
