Dr. Alex Aldape: physician-led fertility care in Cancún

Dr. Alex Aldape is an OB/GYN specialised in reproductive medicine and assisted reproduction, with more than 15 years of clinical experience across Spain, Ireland and Mexico. His practice in Cancún is built around a single model: one doctor follows the patient from the first conversation through treatment planning, ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer. To make that possible, he deliberately limits his clinical volume to 10–12 patients per month.

The website presents this approach as an alternative to what it describes as care led by a system rather than a doctor. The stated priorities are direct access to the specialist, continuity across the key clinical steps and closer oversight of each case.

Treatments and clinical focus

The practice concentrates on IVF/ICSI and on the situations in which treatment strategy, embryo selection and continuity of care matter most. The treatments listed are:

• Precision IVF/ICSI: physician-led treatment from stimulation planning through egg retrieval, embryo development and transfer. The site explains that an IVF cycle is divided into two phases, each typically lasting about two weeks, and that success depends on factors such as age, ovarian reserve and sperm quality. It cites male factors, diminished ovarian reserve (low AMH) and previous unsuccessful attempts or advanced maternal age among the most common reasons for needing IVF.
• Previous IVF failure: a detailed review of earlier cycles to identify what may reasonably be changed before trying again.
• PGT-A and family balancing: embryo testing and selection with a discussion of what PGT-A can and cannot add. The site states that the full treatment typically takes 6–8 weeks and includes ovarian stimulation, egg collection, fertilisation (IVF/ICSI), embryo biopsy at the blastocyst stage and freezing while awaiting results; transfer is performed in a separate cycle once a euploid embryo is identified. It reports a clinical pregnancy rate of about 50–55% per euploid embryo transferred and says the technique is often recommended for women over 35, recurrent miscarriages, implantation failure or previous failed cycles.
• Egg and embryo freezing: planned fertility preservation with a strategy based on age, ovarian reserve and reproductive goals. Egg freezing is described as a personalised process of 2 to 3 weeks that begins with blood tests and an ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve, followed by ovarian stimulation, a short collection procedure and laboratory freezing.
• Low AMH and over 40: individual treatment strategies for patients with reduced ovarian reserve or an expected low response.
• Egg and/or sperm donor treatment: physician-led donor treatment using donor eggs, donor sperm or both, based on the patient's reproductive needs.

One-off consultations for second opinions

The practice also offers a one-off consultation aimed at people who want a specific assessment or reassurance about a particular aspect of their treatment without changing their full plan or moving to another clinic. It is designed for those seeking Dr. Aldape's expertise on specific topics to supplement existing treatment, even if they are not currently under his care.

International patients

A significant part of the practice is directed at patients travelling from the United States, Canada and other countries. The website frames the service as direct specialist care in Cancún and allows prospective patients to start the process online before travelling.

Professional background

Dr. Aldape's career has been built around fertility medicine. According to the site, he completed specialist training in Barcelona, held clinical leadership responsibilities in Ireland and now practises internationally in Mexico. His experience spans three countries: Spain, Ireland and Mexico.

Patient feedback

The website includes a testimonial from a patient in Dublin, Ireland, who describes the care as very individualised and says the doctor went through everything in detail and was supportive at every step. It is a single account and is presented as such.
