    I was a patient at the Roslyn office. Dr. George Kofinas, Dr. Narine and their team are AMAZING. We…read moredid many rounds of IVF with them and everyone there was so helpful, sensitive and kind through all of our ups and downs. They were always available to talk or for a last minute visit. Every single member of the staff is overwhelmingly dedicated and caring, they make every patient feel like family. The surgery office by Wall Street also really makes you feel safe and comfortable, and the surgery staff and anesthesiologists are wonderful. My husband and I struggled with poor genetic quality with the embryos we produced, and Dr. Kofinas recommended trying PRP in my ovaries. Shortly after we became pregnant with a healthy baby girl, who was born recently. I couldn't recommend the Kofinas fertility team more.

Walking into the office the first time, coming off of a couple of failed ivf cycles with a previous doctor I was nervous and emotional and a little defeated. Dr. Kofinas examined me and discovered that I had many more fibroids than I had known about and a significant amount of endometriosis that I had not known about at all. He seemed confident that this was the reason I wasn't getting pregnant and we quickly scheduled my surgery to correct these issues. I can't explain the emotion and relief I felt to finally feel like there was a reason for my lack of success and not just "unexplained infertility ", the diagnosis that my previous doctor had given me. I had proceeded with multiple egg retrievals and finally a successful embryo transfer a few months ago! Through the entire process the professionalism and kindness and personalized approach to myself and every patient was exceptional. The confidence and trust I had in Dr Kofinas was truly the most comforting thing through such and emotional process. All of the staff always greeted me with a smile and answered any questions in a way that took away any fear that I'd be fixated on. This entire office, and every one I encountered along the way in the manhattan surgical center, are a collection of such special people who are truly in the right profession and I can't express how grateful I am for each and every one of them. I'd be writing this same review even if my experience wasn't successful. Dr. Kofinas was extremely thorough and just an amazing doctor and person. Angels on earth! -Nancy Pollock

It is rare to encounter a provider who demonstrates the level of humility, patience, and compassion that she did. I truly felt heard throughout my appointment and never once felt rushed so that she could move on to the next patient. She was warm and personable, and she took the time to connect with me beyond the immediate reason for my visit. Dr. Ferin carefully walked me through everything, discussed multiple treatment options, and reassured me that I remained in control of my body and healthcare decisions. She created a genuinely safe and comfortable environment during what can be an incredibly vulnerable experience. I also had my blood drawn by Alexis, who was equally wonderful. Because I tend to feel faint during bloodwork, she talked me through the entire process and helped me feel at ease. She was personable, professional, and kind, and completed the blood draw quickly and painlessly without causing any irritation. I would highly recommend PureOBGYN to anyone in the area looking for attentive, compassionate care and a truly personalized experience.

After having my first daughter 3 years ago (first transfer was successful with Dr. Levine after many months struggles with another clinic), my husband and i were ready to have a second baby. We knew immediately i would need to use our frozen embryo as i cannot ovulate on my own due to PCOS. Similar to my first baby, a healthy baby boy was transferred and he is now 4 months old completing our family. I can't say enough about him, as a doctor. He is confident, thorough, intelligent and treats you like family. While the process is never easy, and there may have been minor bumps in the road, he was always one step ahead of the game with the next steps. He even checked on me while on vacation! I am lucky to have found him as a doctor and friend. I would be remiss to leave out praise for his entire team. His partner, Dr. Talebian treated me as i was one of her patients.

At my first meeting with Dr. Klein he took his time to get to know me and all that we have been through in trying to conceive our second child. We had gone through IVF many times, each time achieving pregnancy but not sustaining it. We were were at a loss as to the reason as we had multiple tests and tried new procedures but still ended with the same result. After consulting a different doctor who suggested a new type of medicine we consulted with Dr. Klein and he was quite skeptical and did not think he would try this different medication with us. However, three weeks later I got an email from him. Very much to my surprise, he had spoken with colleagues and done his own research and said he was willing to try it. I have NEVER had a doctor take initiative this way, particularly traditional reproductive endocrinologists. I was quite impressed and relieved. We decided to continue to see Dr. Klein at the Brooklyn office for our last and final attempt at IVF. A few times the wait for my appointments took about an hour but I didn't mind because I knew he was taking as much time with each patient as he did with me. He listens to you and does not brush aside concerns. He is great at email follow up. Dr. Joshua Klein is one of the most compassionate, intelligent, and trustworthy doctors I have ever met. I recommend him and RMA of NY wholeheartedly. The Brooklyn office staff is fantastic. I only had to go to the NYC office a few times and I found the service to be very efficient and relatively quick compared to the other big clinic I formerly went to. Lastly, we are now the proud parents of our second child. A beautiful baby girl! Thank you Dr. Klein and staff!

Unlike many larger clinics, Kofinas provides a truly personalized experience. You never feel like just another number. The team closely monitors every step of your treatment, and that level of attention makes all the difference during something that is both emotionally and physically demanding. Dr. Jason Kofinas is exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely invested in his patients. He is always accessible and responds to emails within hours, which provides invaluable reassurance during such an emotional journey. I was also closely followed by Lydia, PA, who was so kind, attentive, and always supportive. Before treatment even begins, they perform a thorough evaluation to identify and address any underlying issues rather than jumping straight into treatment. I always felt that my care was tailored specifically to me, not based on a one-size-fits-all approach. From the front desk to the clinical team, everyone was warm, and professional.

One of the first things he said to me was "don't worry we'll get you pregnant" and he kept his word. I am now 7 months pregnant with our baby girl after our first IVF cycle was a success. This was not by sheer chance; this was due to multiple testing methods, a personalized medication protocol, recommended vitamins, and months and months of visits and monitoring. All of which was facilitated by this wonderful team. We were about to lose all hope before we found Dr. Kofinas. To start, he found and treated my endometriosis. Despite my low AMH, they retrieved multiple eggs that fertilized successfully and we were even able to freeze a few embryos, giving us a chance at the large family we always dreamed of. This experience has been nothing short of a miracle and I am so grateful to this team for making it happen for us.

I wanted to work with a Known Donor so finding a clinic that would be very sensitive and honor my wishes was critical. I looked at a few different clinics but out of all of the clinics I toured, CUFC was the place I felt most comfortable. My doctor, Lauren Bishop, from our first interaction displayed tremendous empathy, consideration, sensitivity, and pragmatism. I knew that I would be able to have a child with the help of doctors and specialists at CUFC. My road to getting enough embryos for a transfer was long and unforgiving. When I suffered set-backs, Dr. Bishop and the care team provided me with the space to grieve while always being ready to reengage. When I decided to do an FET, I went in with very low expectations- the story I told myself was that my egg were "poor quality" and thus I shouldn't hope for one of my embryos to implant in my uterus. Dr. Bishop had faith and encouraged me to lean into the possibility. When I got my beta results, I was delighted; I had already had symptoms of pregnancy so receiving that verification that I was indeed pregnant, really was a sweet treat. I have now graduated from CUFC with my little embryo. We will be transitioning to our OB/midwife now. I will miss the team at CUFC- the effecient check-in's; being in-and-out of morning monitoring in 15 minutes flat; the ability to email my doctor/nurse/care coordinator; the constant flow of useful information about my labs and meds. While I love my midwife/OB's practice, I will deeply miss the care of CUFC.

Unfortunately, due to their poor receptionists they lost a potential patient because of careless mistakes. I called on this past Monday to inquire if they were accepting new clients and accepted my new New York insurance. Wanita, who I spoke to said Dr. Goncharov did not, and I could see one of the nurses Marina instead who is in the office on Fridays in Manhattan. She scheduled me in for the same week on Friday. She needed to validate my insurance number (which I did not have at the time), and asked me to call back the next day. The following day, I called the office with the information and a different woman I spoke to had no idea who I was and had no idea about my appointment on Friday. First red flag. So I rebooked the appointment for the same time, and confirmed that they accepted the insurance. She said yes. This morning (Friday) hours before my appointment, I receive a phone call from Wanita asking for my insurance phone number because she has never seen the insurance before and was not sure if they accepted it after both of them confirmed they did. Is it that difficult to perform a Google search to contact them? Once again, I did not have the card on me and had to call her back with the telephone number, and wait for her to call me back 2 hours before the appointment to confirm if I could even go there. She said that Marina only took it (yes, we already established this and thats why the appointment was with her), but she wouldn't be in the office today. WTF? I had to cancel all of the arrangements I made to come into the office after I had already took the afternoon off of work to come in. Oh, and it gets worse. Wanita said that Marina is sometimes in the office on Fridays, but really had no idea if she would be there the following week or any future Friday in fact. It is a yes or no question after you look at the doctor's calendar. Seriously? Red flag after red flag, I finally said "I'll go somewhere else". It shouldn't take six phone calls to schedule an appointment. If they can't do that right, I'm not really sure if I'd want to trust them with my billing or body.

If you have PCOS, endometriosis, etc., they will not try to get to the root issue and help you, they just want to push you to IVF. Outside of the questionable medical attention, my biggest gripe is with the admin.

To make things worse, after I told them I was no longer seeing them, several weeks later RMA submitted a rogue pre-authorization to my insurance which caused a massive issue.

Service: Dr. Stein and his team were warm, professional, attentive, and easy to work with. The world of fertility is so complex, pretty terrifying, and sometimes incomprehensible but the staff at RMA always took the time to empathize and took the time to explain anything that seemed confusing. Huge shoutout to Tova Niderberg who was our IVF coordinator (unfortunately no longer at RMA) who helped us navigate through the intense processes of documentation, medical protocols, schedules for retrievals, and transfers. Another shoutout to Jo Anne Ndour of the Finance Team, who helped us with any financial situation. There were many times I was so emotional and anxious but Dr. Stein, Tova, Jo Anne and many others helped calm me down. RMA is a massive organization- so obviously sometimes you wait a long time to be seen, doctors can be in a rush, and sometimes a nurse would be curt and hurt you while prodding for a vein, but that happened rarely and overall our experience was very positive. Estimated total out-of-pocket cost (Male factor, AETNA Open Access Managed Choice POS 25/1000/NJ4) for 1 retrieval, 3 rounds of IVF/transfers, and all meds was around $9,166.46. - We qualified for AETNA's generous Infertility Care Program which covered more than half of the cost if you had a medical reason. - Egg/Embryo storage costs are NOT covered by insurance and are pretty steep but standard for NYC: $1000/year (the first year is included) Locations: RMA has many locations throughout New York and I haven't been to all of them besides the following: - Eastside @ 635 Madison Avenue: Retrievals and transfers happen here, large clean space and lovely staff. Unfortunately, your partner (or plus one) is not allowed during the actual retrieval/transfer procedures. - Westside @ 200 West 57th Street: Dr. Stein works out of this location. Also a large clean space and lovely staff. - Downtown @ 594 Broadway: Because I live in Brooklyn and work by Herald Square off the R/W line, I chose to swing by here for morning monitoring. I liked this location because it was so close to subway stations, and although the facility was on the smaller side was still clean and had friendly staff. (Out of the above Westside & Downtown had the nicest and most modern finishes, and obviously, the earlier you go for monitoring the fewer patients there are and faster you're in and out) - Brooklyn @ 26 Court Street: This was my least favorite location because the space is cramped and grungy with outdated finishes. It also didn't seem as clean as the other locations. It is close to many subway stations but it's impossible to find parking here. Other: - The more eggs you get from retrieval the better because the number of viable embryos you will end up with at the end after fertilization, freezing, grading, etc is around or lower than 1/5. For example, I had 35 eggs and ended up with 7 viable embryos. - The grading of your embryos can change upon thawing/freezing on the day of transfer Huge thanks to RMA for helping us bring our beautiful Sophia into this world, we are so grateful to have worked with you!!
