About
Dr Luda (Ludmila) Barbakadze, PhD, is Head of the IVF Department at IN VITRO CLINIC (LeaderMed) in Tbilisi, with 19 years of clinical experience in reproductive medicine and obstetrics-gynecology (source: LeaderMed clinic team information).
She earned her MD at Tbilisi State Medical University and her PhD in reproductive medicine in 2014, and completed specialized ART training in Israel and Italy — two of Europe’s most active fertility treatment markets.
As department head she leads the IVF team and stays personally involved in patient care, overseeing the treatment chain from initial evaluation and stimulation protocol design through egg retrieval to embryo transfer.
Clinical Expertise
- Full-cycle IVF management: direct senior supervision of every key step — patient assessment, protocol selection, trigger timing, retrieval and transfer
- ICSI: micromanipulation fertilization for male factor infertility, coordinated closely with the embryology team
- Egg and embryo freezing: oocyte and embryo vitrification programs for fertility preservation and deferred transfer
Why Choose Dr Luda Barbakadze
Nineteen years in reproductive medicine means she has followed Georgian and international IVF practice through its most important technical shifts, and can diagnose accurately across the full spectrum of infertility. Her role as Head of the IVF Department adds a continuity advantage few patients get elsewhere: the same senior physician who plans your stimulation also approves your transfer, so decisions are not fragmented between departments. Her Israeli and Italian ART training brings Mediterranean and European protocol experience to difficult cases — especially valuable for older patients, where ovarian response strategies make the difference.
Certifications
Dr Barbakadze holds the MD from Tbilisi State Medical University and a PhD in Reproductive Medicine, with dual specialist credentials in obstetrics-gynecology and reproductive medicine, plus dedicated ART training completed in Israel and Italy.
Suitable For
- Patients wanting full-cycle IVF management: one senior physician stays with you from first consultation to transfer, with department-level quality control at every step.
- Women trying to conceive at advanced maternal age: she has particular depth in ovarian reserve assessment and individualized stimulation for older patients.
- Complex or repeated-failure infertility cases: after multiple unsuccessful treatments elsewhere, her experience supports a targeted re-evaluation of strategy rather than repetition of the same protocol.
