About the Centre for Infertility Solutions (CIS)
The Centre for Infertility Solutions (CIS) is a specialist consulting practice dedicated to supporting individuals and couples experiencing fertility challenges.
Under the care of Fertility Specialist Dr Nicholas Lolatgis, CIS provides a considered, step-by-step approach to investigating infertility and planning appropriate treatment pathways. Patients may be referred for care that includes both immunological and IVF-related avenues of treatment, depending on their individual needs and medical circumstances.
Our focus is on clear explanations, coordinated care and helping patients feel informed and supported at every stage of their fertility journey.
Meet Dr Nicholas Lolatgis
MBBS, FRANZCOG, FRCOG
Infertility & IVF SpecialistDr Nicholas Lolatgis has worked in obstetrics and gynaecology since 1981 and has devoted his career to the investigation and management of infertility and related women’s health conditions. Over more than four decades, he has been closely involved in advances in IVF, laparoscopic surgery and immunological approaches to fertility care.
At CIS, Dr Lolatgis provides consulting services for patients with a wide range of fertility concerns, from difficulty conceiving to recurrent miscarriage and complex reproductive health issues. His approach combines detailed clinical assessment, evidence-informed treatment planning and a strong focus on patient education.
Key Areas of Experience and Interest
Across his career, Dr Lolatgis has been involved in:
• Investigating and developing IVF technologies over a long-standing association with Monash IVF
• Performing advanced laparoscopic surgery for a range of gynaecological conditions
• Conducting research into the causes of infertility and recurrent miscarriage
• Reducing pain and improving fertility outcomes in patients with endometriosis using medical and surgical treatments
• Providing advanced medical and surgical care to women with polycystic ovarian disease
• Offering coordinated care for male and female infertility
• Investigating and managing the role of the immune system in infertility
• Conducting research into the potential role of stem cells in infertility management
These interests inform the way investigations and treatment options are discussed with patients at CIS.
Our Approach to Patient Care
At CIS, medical expertise is paired with a strong emphasis on respectful, personal care.
Under Dr Lolatgis’ leadership, the clinic aims to:
• Allow time for thorough consultations and questions
• Provide clear written information about investigations and treatment options
• Maintain regular communication, including contacting patients about abnormal results
• Coordinate care with other providers where appropriate (e.g. IVF clinics, surgeons, allied health)
• Offer a supportive environment in which patients feel heard, informed and involved in decisions about their care
Whenever possible, Dr Lolatgis speaks directly with patients and maintains a personalised, continuity-of-care approach. He also speaks fluent Greek, which may assist Greek-speaking patients to feel more comfortable discussing their history and concerns.
