Q: Why Choose the NYU Fertility Center?

We provide comprehensive evaluation and care for all stages of infertility. Our services, from surgery to the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), include non-donor and donor IVF, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), assisted hatching and preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

Excellent pregnancy rates consistently rank our program among the best in New York City, as well as the United States. Though our success is measured in numbers, we are most satisfied by the praise we receive from our patients.

A History of Achievements

Often times we are able to achieve what other centers have not. We credit our achievements to constant technological advancements and are proud to count pioneers in the field among our staff.

Quality of Care

From your initial consultation with one of our physicians – a one-on-one meeting that involves focusing on you and your experience. Every aspect of our office was designed with patient comfort in mind. Our convenient location in midtown Manhattan is home to physician offices, exam rooms, outpatient surgery and recovery rooms, laboratory and testing facilities, as well our patient library.

Everything You Need

Our comprehensive facilities allow us the freedom to offer a full range of infertility-related services, including treatment of male factor infertility. Diagnosis and treatment includes ovulation induction, a variety of assisted reproductive technologies, and even surgical options – for women and for men – that incorporate the latest endoscopic techniques. Testing for genetic abnormalities, as well as immunity and infectious disease, is also incorporated into our care.

We also have an Egg (Oocyte) Donation program onsite, as well as various support services including psychological services and a holistic wellness program

Offices of the NYU Fertility Center

Our offices are located in midtown Manhattan at the corner of First Avenue and 38th Street. Administrative, clinical and research areas are all here, making it easy for you to receive the care you need and build a relationship with our staff.

At first glance, our spacious and well-appointed waiting area may not seem like a doctor's office at all. That's because our facility was designed with patient comfort in mind. In fact, each of our exam rooms features a separate changing room and private restroom.

If you need help navigating complex insurance requirements or have questions about costs, our billing department is available during normal office hours. If you are interested in learning more about IVF, we have a patient library as well.

The second floor of our office space is dedicated almost exclusively to infertility treatment. Here you will find two surgical rooms used for egg retrieval, embryo transfer and other infertility related procedures and a spacious recovery room, as well as our state-of-the-art endocrinology, andrology, and embryology laboratories.

Our turnaround time on lab tests is faster thanks to our onsite laboratories. Test results are automatically fed directly into your patient record, which also improves your quality of care.

Each of these areas is staffed by our clinical, laboratory and administrative personnel, who are happy to assist you with any questions you may have during the process.
