Thank you to our patient who left this lovely review of our Stamford clinic and about Bev Kimminau, our Nursing Development Manager, who is based at our new Stamford Fertility Health Suite.![]()

“After many months of looking into fertility treatment clinics, we decided to opt for Bourn Hall Stamford. ![]()
![]()
“This was mainly due to the location of the clinic being near to where we live, as well as being a much smaller clinic than other providers. ![]()
![]()
“What appealed to us was the one-to-one ongoing support by a named fertility nurse, who we would be able to build a rapport with during this challenging but exciting time. ![]()
![]()
“Instantly, Bev put myself and my partner at ease. Bev was extremely competent in her knowledge and skills, alongside having an excellent bedside manner. ![]()
![]()
“Her humour allowed us to feel relaxed throughout all interventions, while remaining professional at all times. ![]()
![]()
“We are so glad we made the decision to book our treatment with Bourn Hall Stamford in order to receive a more intimate and personal service, which many providers would be unable to match. ![]()
![]()
“I highly recommend Bev for your fertility journey. Despite it being early days, we already feel so much support and delivery of the highest quality of care.”![]()
