About

About Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists

Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists (previously known as Alpha Fertility Centre) was founded in 2011 by Dato’ Dr. Colin Lee Soon Soo, a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist who has been a fertility specialist since 1991. In March 2024 the group listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia (stock code 0303), becoming Malaysia’s first publicly listed fertility specialty group. The centre moved in 2019 into a purpose-built facility of around 2,800 m² at Encorp Strand Mall, Kota Damansara — nearly three times its previous size.

The Alpha IVF team has more than 30 years of combined fertility experience, has treated patients from over 51 countries, and group doctors have delivered more than 20,000 IVF babies (source: official website). The centre holds RTAC accreditation (Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee of the Fertility Society of Australia, RTAC Number 1028) and is a Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) Elite member. Its laboratories cover embryology, andrology, NGS, CGH, PCR, FISH and electrophoresis under one roof, supported by EmbryoScope+ time-lapse culture, Piezo-ICSI, Cryotec vitrification and AI-enhanced embryo selection.

Success Rates (self-reported, 2024 data)

Alpha IVF reports clinical pregnancy rates per embryo transfer under RTAC standards. Its 2024 frozen blastocyst transfer results, by age group and PGT-A status (source: official website, 2024 data; frozen transfers only):

Age GroupWithout PGT-AWith PGT-A
Under 3070.4%70.0%
30-3470.8%65.0%
35-3754.7%70.3%
38-4058.1%66.3%
41-4220.0%69.2%
43-44No data100%

Clinical pregnancy rate per transfer is not the same as live birth rate; outcomes vary with age, diagnosis, ovarian reserve, sperm quality and embryo quality.

The centre also advertises clinical pregnancy rates of up to 87.5% specifically for transfers of vitrified-warmed, good-graded euploid blastocysts aged under 120 hours after ICSI (source: official website, referencing Lee C.S.S. et al., OGSM Congress 2016). Its Piezo-ICSI programme records a 83.1% fertilisation rate versus 69.6% for conventional ICSI, with an oocyte degeneration rate of 3.2% versus 7.3%, based on data across 81,957 oocytes presented at ASPIRE 2026 and OGSM 2026.

Why Choose Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists

  • Public-listed governance: as a Bursa Malaysia-listed company (code 0303), the group operates under disclosure and audit requirements that bring transparency to clinical governance and fees — a meaningful trust signal for international patients
  • Standard Piezo-ICSI across all cycles: among the very few centres worldwide to have adopted Piezo-ICSI as its default ICSI technique since 2014, using piezoelectric pulses instead of a sharp needle to open the egg membrane — with published data showing roughly 27% more usable blastocysts than conventional ICSI
  • Complete in-house laboratory chain: embryology, andrology, NGS (Ion Torrent), CGH, PCR and FISH laboratories allow PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-SR and PGT-HLA to be run from a single biopsy without outsourcing samples abroad
  • Proven cryobiology: 100.00% post-warmed embryo survival across 13,276+ consecutive embryos (Malaysia Book of Records; source: official website, June 2026) means embryos entrusted for freezing survive intact into later transfers
  • AI plus human embryo selection: AI-enhanced embryo grading combined with EmbryoScope+ time-lapse monitoring at no extra charge, plus a “one incubator, one patient” policy that removes fluctuation and mix-up risk
  • Multilingual patient support: the team works in English, Mandarin, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia and Tamil, with dedicated international patient coordinators, airport-hotel-clinic transfers and partner hotels within a 2-minute walk

  • Preimplantation Genetic Testing: PGT-A for chromosome screening, PGT-M for single-gene diseases, PGT-SR for structural rearrangements, and PGT-HLA typing for Saviour Sibling Programmes — all run in-house on an Ion Torrent NGS platform from a single biopsy
  • Egg, sperm and embryo freezing: Cryotec vitrification with near-100% post-warmed survival; fertility preservation for age, medical or career reasons
  • Egg donation programmes: available for patients needing donor eggs
  • AI-Enhanced Embryo Selection: deep-learning implantation-potential scoring on blastocyst images to pick the best embryo, first introduced in Malaysia
  • Implantation optimisation: ERA (endometrial receptivity analysis), EMMA (microbiome) and ALICE (chronic endometritis) testing for personalised transfer timing
  • Sperm sorting (MicroSort / AFC Sort): X/Y sorting technology, offered in the Asia-Pacific region for selected medical indications

  • Gynaecological surgery: laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery, 4D ultrasound, and male sperm retrieval (MicroTESE) coordinated with fertility treatment

Fees & Packages

Alpha IVF does not publish a fixed price list. On its “IVF Treatment Cost in Malaysia” page the centre explains that treatment is customised to each patient — stimulation protocol, medication dosage, whether PGT is performed, and egg or sperm source all drive the final cost — so an official quote is issued after the doctor’s assessment. A free cost estimate is available before you travel; confirm the quote in both MYR and USD with the international patient team (MYR 1 is approximately 0.21-0.24 USD; exchange rates fluctuate).

Payment flexibility is a stated priority: the centre offers financial counselling with EPF (KWSP) withdrawal guidance, income tax relief, medical loans, 0% instalment plans and insurance assistance, and accepts credit cards and NFC mobile payment.

Patient Journey

  1. Submit your inquiry: send your medical records and test reports through the website enquiry channel to receive a free assessment and cost estimate
  2. First visit preparation: the centre asks couples to arrive at least 2 hours early for registration and pre-consultation assessments, and to bring all existing medical reports
  3. Joint fertility assessment: both partners are evaluated before you meet the specialist, who then recommends the treatment with the highest chance of success for your clinical picture, lifestyle and budget
  4. Treatment cycle: ovarian stimulation (typically 8-14 days of injections) → egg retrieval → Piezo-ICSI fertilisation → time-lapse culture in EmbryoScope+ → PGT-A biopsy if planned → Cryotec vitrification or transfer
  5. International patient stay plan: most consultations are same-day; expect roughly 2-3 visits to the centre over 2-3 weeks, with 1-2 days of stay after egg retrieval and about 2 weeks after embryo transfer (source: official international patient page)
  6. Logistics support: concierge airport-hotel-clinic transfers, corporate-rate hotels within walking distance, and multilingual coordinators in English, Mandarin, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia and Tamil
  7. Remote follow-up: pregnancy monitoring continues with remote support after you return home

Assisted reproduction in Malaysia is regulated by the Ministry of Health, and Alpha IVF additionally operates under the Australian RTAC code of practice:

  • IVF / ICSI: legal for married couples using their own eggs and sperm
  • Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT): permitted for medical indications such as chromosomal abnormalities and single-gene disorders; non-medical sex selection is prohibited
  • Egg, sperm and embryo donation: permitted under regulated practice; donation arrangements follow anonymisation and consent requirements
  • Egg freezing: allowed for fertility preservation, including for non-medical (social) reasons
  • Surrogacy: commercial surrogacy is not permitted in Malaysia
  • International patients: the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) coordinates medical travel facilitation, and international patients enter on medical visas for treatment

This is our 2nd IVF treatment. After elsewhere, we switched to Dr Navdeep We are from east msia, and distance make us worried, if it would cause the disturbance to the procedure. however, we are grateful that he is reachable over the WhatsApp, and even after embrio transfer, I encounter bleeding. With easy accessible to the clinic ensure us of the next step to be taken, really calm us down. Under his care, we had a successful egg retrieval and conceived on our very first implantation attempt. This year, we welcomed our healthy baby girl, which was our first pregnancy over 12 years of marriage. Dr Navdeep is calm, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his patients. We highly recommend him to anyone on their fertility journey.

Words can't fully express our gratitude to Dr. Leong. Our journey to becoming parents wasn't an easy one, and there were moments filled with doubt, tears, and uncertainty. But Dr. Leong walked alongside us through every step of our IVF journey with such compassion, patience, and genuine care. He never made us feel rushed or like just another patient, he listened to our fears, answered every question no matter how small, and gave us hope when we needed it most. I still remember how he reassured us after our first setback and his calmness and confidence gave us the strength to keep going. Today, we hold our precious little one in our arms, a miracle we once only dreamed of. This joy would not have been possible without Dr. Leong's skill, dedication, and heart. We are forever thankful to him and his wonderful team at Alpha for helping us build our family.

We are getting treatment In ALPHA IVF & WOMEN’S SPECIALISTS under Dr. Leong Wai Yew. He is very helpful, cordial and expert for this treatment. Specially in the long journey of IVF treatment, Dr. Leong gave us great comfort. We are very happy with the treatment and overall service of this clinic. The explanation of the treatment procedure is very good, the cost explanation and billing is very transparent. We faced difficulties for Visa renewal. To solve this problem we get all the help we need from Mrs. Neva and Mrs. Hasriana. Special thanks to them. We already did 3 season of IVF treatment in this clinic. The response of careline is very good. Additionally, if needed we contacted Mrs. Neva and get prompt response. It means a lot for us in crucial time in this journey. Before starting treatment in Alpha Fertility Centre we visited 1 clinic and 1 famous hospital. But Alpha Fertility Centre is way better compared to them. I would say If I visited Alpha Fertility Centre first, it definitely saved my time and money. All I can say is I’m truly grateful to the Teams in the Alpha IVF for their treatment quality, honesty and service. Our treatment is almost finished. We hope to finish the IVF treatment very soon.

I am an international patient and underwent my first IVF cycle at Alpha IVF in April 2026 under Dr. Leong Wai Yew. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing, both in terms of the medical outcome and the overall standard of care. A total of 29 eggs were retrieved, but only 8 were mature on the day of retrieval, and only 2 of those fertilized successfully. Although another 12 eggs matured in the laboratory the following day, only one embryo was ultimately created from those late-maturing eggs. Despite retrieving 29 eggs, the overall outcome was far below expectations. After seeking opinions from several other IVF specialists, I was told that the trigger timing may have been a contributing factor. What disappointed me most was not just the outcome itself, but that when I asked Dr. Leong for an explanation, he repeatedly avoided addressing whether the treatment plan or trigger timing could have contributed. I was simply looking for an honest discussion to better understand what happened and to improve my chances in future cycles. My goal was to create enough healthy embryos for future family planning from a single retrieval. Instead, I now have to undergo a second egg retrieval cycle, which is both physically demanding and emotionally exhausting. While IVF outcomes can never be guaranteed, I cannot help but wonder whether a different treatment plan or trigger strategy might have resulted in a better outcome. The initial consultation process was satisfactory, but my experience changed significantly on the day of my ovum pick-up (OPU). The operating table appeared unclean and gave the impression that it had not been properly prepared between patients. The entire process felt rushed and impersonal, as though patients were being processed on an assembly line rather than receiving individualized care. After waking up from the procedure, I experienced severe throat pain and a burning sensation for several days, likely related to the airway tube used during general anesthesia. I also had significant bruising on my right hand at the IV site, which remained visible for over a week (photo attached). While I understand these can be known side effects of anesthesia, the severity made me question the standard of care during the procedure. I also encountered issues with the administrative staff. After I switched doctors during treatment, one cashier attempted to charge me twice for a doctor's consultation, resulting in an overcharge of approximately RM1,000. The error was only corrected after I questioned the bill and another nurse investigated it. Overall, I found the experience disappointing. Alpha IVF invests heavily in marketing and positions itself as one of the leading IVF centers in Malaysia, but my experience did not reflect the level of professionalism, transparency, or patient-centered care I expected. The fees charged to international patients are also considerably higher than many other IVF centers in Malaysia. Every patient's experience is different, but based on mine, I would encourage prospective patients to do thorough research, seek multiple medical opinions, and carefully consider all available clinics before making a decision.

My husband & I are very grateful to Alpha IVF for helping us to conceive our baby. The IVF process was physically, mentally and financially challenging and we felt it was particularly difficult after our first attempt was not successful. But with the encouragement and guidance of Dr. Leong and the Alpha Scientific team, we were able to conceive our baby boy on the second IVF cycle. Dr. Leong is a very cheerful, caring, committed and easy to talk to person. He does his best to address questions and queries from us. When I was afraid to view some of the results during the process, he made it easier for us and reviewed them together with us. His team of nurses were also prompt in managing the appointments and follow up questions. Dr. Leong saw us through the entire process from start to finish. He also performed the Cesarean section to deliver our baby and did a great job as a surgeon as his surgical skills were immaculate. We would also like to thank the Alpha Scientific team for their dedicated effort and patience to use their skills and experience to make our IVF process a success. We also thank Dr. Wilkinson for seeing us on 2 occasions when Dr. Leong was not available as Dr. Wilkinson was very patient with his advice and was also very encouraging. Hence, we would like to express our thanks and gratitude to Dr. Leong, Dr. Wilkinson, the Alpha Scientific team, the nurses and the entire Alpha IVF team.

Thank you to my doctor. Dr. Leong gave me the opportunity to become a mother. When I visited the doctor, there was no denying that my child and the doctor had a special connection. My child smiled as soon as he saw him.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Neva, Patient Experience Manager at Alpha IVF & Women's Specialists. Throughout our IVF journey, Neva has been incredibly friendly, patient, and professional. She always took the time to explain procedures clearly whenever we had questions or did not fully understand the process, which gave us great confidence and peace of mind. What stood out most was her responsiveness and dedication. There were occasions when the customer service system was unavailable, but Neva personally followed up on our requests and ensured that communication with the centre continued smoothly. She was also supportive enough to respond even outside of working hours when urgent assistance was needed. Neva genuinely advocates for patients. Whenever there were system-related issues, she took ownership of the situation, stood on the patient's side, and helped expedite the resolution process, including claims affected by system failures. Her commitment, empathy, and willingness to go the extra mile made a significant difference to our experience at Alpha IVF. Thank you, Neva, for your outstanding support and care throughout our journey.

After a really long journey filled with hope, anxiety, and countless prayers, my wife and I are finally expecting our baby! 🥹 We cannot thank the team at Alpha IVF enough with words. From the moment we stepped through their doors, we felt cared for not just as patients, but as a couple desperate to fulfill our dream of becoming parents. Dr Leong, the nurses, and all staff supported us through every milestone and setback with kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion. The confidence they showered us with when we needed it most was so so important and we couldn't have gone through this without it. Seeing our baby's heartbeat for the first time was a moment we'll never forget. Thank you Alpha IVF, what once felt like an impossible dream is now becoming a reality. We will always be grateful for the role they played in helping us start our family and we can't wait to visit soon with our baby! 😍
