This was my 3rd IVF practice that I have been to and my 7th cycle of IVF overall with only 1 successful pregnancy previously. In the past another doctor from one of the first two practices had told me that I would have to use donor eggs, that my egg quality was horrible, and other unpleasant things you would not want to hear as a patient. That was not the case here at NYC IVF. They treated me as best as possible without giving me unrealistic expectations, but were very optimistic about my chances for success. Dr. Elassar is an excellent doctor and was extremely detailed in answering my questions which I appreciated very much. She never made me feel as if I was just another number in the practice. She came up with plans specific to me and my issues to attempt to get me viable embryos. Her entire team is outstanding and I also would like to highlight her embryologist director Dr. Molinari who was so caring and personal in her approach to my course of treatment. She was very positive and optimistic about me having a successful cycle and results which I can happily say we just achieved with 8 embryos with 5 PGT tested as viable. I would also like to point out my nurse in this process, Tamar Badridze, and say what an amazing nurse she is. She was always so warm and caring, and would always spend extra time with me talking and answering my questions. The entire practice from the reception to the financial department and all the nurses there are the best, and everyone is always so warm and positive every time I’ve been there. As a 38 year old woman I was beginning to lose hope that I would never be able to have another child, and after 5 failed cycles and losing 11 embryos I was not in the best spirits coming into this process. That all turned around here and it is a credit to the team at NYC IVF and their approach to me as a patient that have given me hope again. Thank you all so much you’re all amazing!Fertility clinic

They made sure to ground our expectations in realism and were comfortable to talk to. They also provide very thorough email instructions to follow throughout the entire IVF process. The admin team (Kim and Abdel) made our appointment scheduling seamless and easy to deal with. Happy that we chose NYC IVF as the place to receive treatment for my partner.Such an exceptional team—so helpful and supportive and informative, honest and empathetic.

When people say doctors have gotten so good at IVF and retrievals is because of practices like NYC IVF. They’re doing really incredible work.

From the very beginning, everyone was incredibly professional, responsive, and accommodating. There was virtually no wait time at appointments, which made an already stressful process feel much more manageable. Dr. Elsassar is honest, straightforward, and truly thoughtful in her approach. What stood out to me most is that she always had a clear plan and strategy to help me achieve my goal. As someone dealing with the anxiety of infertility, that level of clarity and direction was incredibly reassuring. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I was able to achieve my goal, and I’m beyond grateful. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for compassionate, efficient, and results-driven care.This is the most professional IVF clinic I have ever encountered.

They have their own dedicated laboratory, which can fully guarantee the success rate of their work. The staff is welcoming and caring, and my wife has been well cared at here. Dr. Elassar is also very responsible for her patients. The environment here is very good and makes people feel very relaxed.I had a great experience with NYC IVF.

My husband and I pursued IVF for fertility preservation to give ourselves more time before starting a family. Dr. Elasser was personally involved throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to regular check-ins, and she performed the procedure herself. That made a huge difference and gave the experience a real sense of continuity and trust. The team was always prompt in their communication, and after my initial consultation, I was able to get started with my very next cycle. They were also very upfront about the financial aspects and helped guide us through the insurance process, which was really reassuring and took a lot off our plates. I also felt like I received more frequent follow-up and much more personalized attention than I probably would have at one of the bigger clinics. They took my questions, concerns, and any discomfort or pain I experienced after the egg-retrieval seriously. I had great results for my age group, having completed the process right before turning 36, and I did not need to do a second round. It was clear that the clinic focuses on quality outcomes and on finding the right balance of fertility medications for each person, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. IVF is hard mentally, physically, and emotionally, but I felt genuinely cared for by the entire team throughout the process and would absolutely recommend NYC IVF to anyone considering fertility preservation.Dr Elassar and the team at NYC IVF are simply the best at what they do.

After multiple failures with a different clinic, we made the decision to switch to NYC IVF on the recommendation of a few friends, some of whom had also been through a lengthy IVF process, and for the first time we experienced success. We are beyond grateful to the entire team, who have been so responsive, supportive, compassionate, and just generally great to work with. The team also tailored my treatment plan for some of my medical complications, and the routine bloodwork and scans all went smoothly.I cannot praise Dr. Elassar and her team enough.

I recently went to her for egg freezing/fertility preservation, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Everything felt highly personalized --the office is warm and inviting, and the staff truly make you feel welcomed and cared for. Every step of the process was explained clearly (and repeated as needed), and any questions I had were answered quickly and thoughtfully. Everything ran smoothly and on time, which made a big difference during what can be such an overwhelming process. I had previously started this journey at a much larger facility where I felt like just another number. This experience was completely different—here, everyone knows you and genuinely cares. They made something that initially felt daunting feel manageable, and I was at ease the entire time. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and support I received. Highly recommend!Dr. Elassar and her team are truly in a class of their own.

After visiting multiple IVF clinics that felt impersonal and transactional, this experience was completely different. She took the time to see me as a person, not just a patient, and made me feel genuinely cared for every step of the way. I can’t recommend her highly enough.Thanks to the wonderful folks at NYC IVF, my partner and I have a lovely baby girl who lights up our lives!

I've been with Dr. Elassar's clinic for several years, everyone has been amazing, responsive and flexible. Tamar has been of incredible help navigating the process, especially as an overseas patient. Couldn't be happier with the clinic! Initial review: So far I am at the start of my journey with the clinic, and they have been very responsive and professional. Dr. Elassar has answered all of my questions and been quite flexible in arranging tests, since I am in another country. Ms. Alejandra Castillo at reception was also very accommodating, friendly and easy to reach.From the first phone call to get info, to the end of my retrieval journey, the whole team at NYCIVF was kind, intentional and informative.

I felt so cared for by Dr. Elassar and the whole team - every nurse, Abdel in finances, Kymberly at reception - everyone was thoughtful and really wanted me to understand everything that was happening throughout the process. It is definitely an intense process, but every instruction and direction was so clear and delivered with care. The team was extremely communicative and answered any questions I had whenever they came up. When I first called the clinic I felt in my gut that I was making the right choice to go to NYCIVF and that was affirmed throughout every appointment and communication with the team, all the way up to the end. Endless gratitude to NYCIVF 💓I had the best experience with NYC IVF. The entire team is so welcoming and informative.

After your first appointment, they don’t even ask your name when you walk in because they make sure to know you. I had initial consults at a few larger places for egg freezing, and I had very unpleasant experiences but with NYC IVF it was night and day. Upon your first consult, Dr. Elassar sits with you for as long as needed to explain the process and answer any questions, you then meet with billing to understand OOP costs. They also do a med teach appointment, which you don’t realize you need until you are doing your first injection. Other places just send videos but NYC IVF brings you in for an appt and walks you through it, allowing you to take a video and ask questions. 10/10 experience with NYC IVF! I have recommended NYC IVF to all of my friends who are considering egg freezing or a need fertility specialist. Thank you NYC IVF!Dr. Elassar and her WHOLE team were remarkable to work with.

They made a complex process so easy to maintain and follow, even from 3 hours away. Their passion for their work shows in everything they do, and the compassion and understanding through everything was unmatched. We had an extremely successful procedure and my husband and I could not recommend them highly enough.NYC IVF is my first and only fertility clinic, and I feel truly lucky to have found them.

Like most people, my fertility journey came with plenty of stress, anxiety, and "what if I’d started sooner?" moments. But everyone here—Dr. Elassar, Dr. Jeff, Ms. Tamar, Ms. Annie, Ms. Elena, Ms. Isabelle, Ms. Victoria, Ms. Needa, Ms. Kimberlyn, and Mr. Abdel—was so kind, caring, and genuinely supportive. They always made sure I felt comfortable and informed at every step. They all know my name and made me feel like part of their family. Dr. Elassar was there for every appointment and procedure, and I could truly feel how much she cared. I loved her calling me “my dear,” and now I hope all the doctors I see from now on are like her. The medical team explained my medications and schedule so clearly and patiently, making sure I always understood what to do. They encouraged me every step of the way. I was touched when Dr. Jeff remembered my name in the elevator after we’d only met once in the OR. And obviously, he took very good care of my embryo. Scheduling was always smooth and flexible, which I really appreciated—especially since I’d heard other clinics aren’t always so accommodating. The financial team patiently walked me through all the billing and insurance details. As someone who’s not great with numbers, I was so grateful for their help. Overall, I feel truly spoiled by the care I received. I just wish they did regular OB care, too! I’ll definitely be coming back for baby number two. They deserve more than 5 stars!I had my second egg freezing experience at NYC IVF and cannot say enough good things about them.

From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly kind, accommodating, and attentive. I genuinely felt cared for throughout the whole process. Everything was so seamless and personalized. They were always available to answer questions, adjust things as needed, and make what can be a stressful experience feel calm and manageable. The procedure itself went smoothly, and I always felt like I was in very capable hands. This is not an easy process to go through, but NYC IVF made it feel as supportive and human as possible. I will absolutely be back when I’m ready to use my eggs, and I’m very grateful to this team for how they showed up for me. Highly recommend!I had such a wonderful experience using NYCIVF.

I really felt like I was part of the family, which is so important in a process like this. Everything was made very clear and super easy from finances to appointments and beyond. Thanks to them we welcome our first in July. :)Dr. Elassar and her team are truly exceptional caregivers.

We were able to succeed very quickly, and I credit that to how thoughtfully they guided us through every step. Their communication was outstanding. They consistently overcommunicated in the best way, keeping us informed, answering questions promptly, and making sure we always understood the plan. What also sets Dr. Elassar apart is that she personally performs all of the procedures herself, which gave us a tremendous amount of confidence and continuity of care throughout the process. The fertility journey can be long and emotionally difficult, and we could truly count on Dr. Elassar the whole way. What meant a lot to us was how flexible and proactive the team was with our travel schedule. They adjusted treatment timing and logistics so we could stay on track without added stress, and we never felt misaligned. It was clear they were invested in our outcome and took pride in doing things the right way. Every visit was efficient and well run. We never had to wait long in the waiting room, and the care was delivered with precision and consistency. Dr. Elassar has high ethics, and we trusted her completely. Just as important, you can genuinely feel the compassion and dedication she and her team have for their patients. We are deeply grateful for the care we received and cannot recommend NYC IVF highly enough.As I entered my mid-30s, egg freezing became part of my plan for the future.

I found NYCIVF through my own research, and everything moved very quickly from there. The team gives clear and detailed instructions, and the whole process is very efficient. I could always get a quick response when I had questions. Just three weeks after my first consultation, I completed my first round of egg freezing!❤️Choosing this clinic for our IVF journey was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

From the very first appointment, the level of care, professionalism, and compassion was truly exceptional. Tamar and Dr. Elassar went above and beyond to ensure I felt informed, supported, and comfortable every step of the way. They patiently answered every question, explained each phase in detail, and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and hopeful. One of the aspects I appreciated most was their respect for my time. I often scheduled appointments during my workday, and they consistently saw me at my exact appointment time, making the experience seamless without ever compromising on care or attentiveness. Every interaction, whether in person, over the phone, or through follow-up, was marked by warmth, responsiveness, and genuine concern for my well-being. The entire team embodies excellence. From the front desk to the nurses and coordinators, everyone treated me with kindness and empathy, creating an environment that felt safe and reassuring. IVF can be an emotional and challenging journey, but thanks to this incredible clinic, I felt supported and cared for in ways that exceeded my expectations. I am deeply grateful to Tamar, Dr. Elassar, and the entire staff for walking this path with us. Their dedication and humanity made all the difference, and I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking not just medical expertise, but a true partnership in their fertility journey.I had a great experience at NYCIVF during my recent fertility consult.

Everything felt highly personalized, and it was clear that the team genuinely cares — which means so much when you’re going through such a stressful process. Dr. Elassar is amazing and clearly knows what she’s doing; I always felt I was in very good hands.

Having seriously underestimated the amount of logistical work involved, they were amazing at helping me keep on track and get acclimated to the process. Furthermore, having small veins that phlebotomists often struggle to locate, I was apprehensive about having so many blood tests - Nurse Tamar was wonderful, skillful and gentle and made that aspect a walk in the park. Dr. Elassar is obviously fantastic too, and kind, as is the whole team. Overall a process that I was apprehensive about was made very manageable...and we got fantastic results! Well above average for my age group. I have recommended them to friends already, and will continue to do so.My experience with NYC-IVF has been incredible from start to finish.

Abdel and Kim were incredible when it came to scheduling and navigating insurance — something that could easily be stressful was made seamless and surprisingly painless. One of the things I appreciate most is how well the clinic respects your time. Fertility treatments involve many visits, and I was never left waiting around. They run a tight schedule without ever making the experience feel rushed. Overall, it’s a place where you feel genuinely cared for. I would recommend this clinic wholeheartedly. It’s a pleasant, supportive environment during a journey that truly benefits from both expertise and compassion.Throughout my time at NYC IVF, I always felt supported and cared for.

Dr. Elassor and her team took the time to answer questions honestly, adjust treatment thoughtfully, and make sure I understood not just what we were doing, but why. Her approach strikes the perfect balance between realism and encouragement, a combination that builds trust and confidence during what can be an emotional process. When I became pregnant, I was overjoyed but honestly a little sad to leave her care as I transitioned to my OB/GYN. Without hesitation, I plan to return to her office when it’s time for baby number two. If you’re looking for an endocrinologist who is compassionate yet straightforward, deeply experienced, and truly invested in your success, Dr. Elassor is exceptional.We moved here for treatment after having a terrible experience at Northwell Fertility.

It was fully up to us to make the decision and she would support us either way...Even when she was on vacation, she would always be responsive.

Things that are specific to my ethnic background which may be different than the typical american patient.

She was cold hearted and her recommendations were contradicting.She [Dr. Elassar] performs every scan and every procedure, follows up immediately with results/next steps, and is available over email constantly.

She knew my file by heart within the first few visits, and at every appointment, she was interested not only in discussing treatment steps but also how I was doing and how my husband was doing. She is very matter-of-fact in her approach, but she also makes us laugh every visit, and continually makes us feel like we are her only patients.Dr. Elassar's office is small, she is the only Dr. in the practice...She is VERY available via email and this was invaluable to me.

She seemed very thorough going over my history. My partner and I were wanting to move into IVF but we didn't get too much info about this on the first consult....After leaving we emailed some additional questions that we felt would help us in making a decision whether to proceed with the clinic for the 20k IVF cycle. Some of these were answered over email... On the next visit we were taken by a nurse at the front desk and put in an ultrasound room without any information about what we were doing.During my visit with Dr. Elassar, I was treated with utmost care.

She was very prompt in responding to emails and I was able to resolve any of my questions for the doctor on the same day... She is a very knowledgable, kind-hearted and caring doctor. She has a customized approach for each couple. She also laid the potential options for us, clearly communicated the details when we had to take a big decision for embryo transfer. She is prompt in responding to emails any time of the day and that helped me to clarify any doubts I had while undergoing this process. She made it so easier and better despite the stress you undergo with this whole process. It was really sad on the day when I graduated from her facility. She also showed her concern and asked me to give updates on how our pregnancy has been progressing.Dr. Elassar knows my file inside out, and despite my complicated medical history (thyroid disease) and age (early 40s) she did not write me off and went to great lengths…Dr. Elassar knows my file inside out, and despite my complicated medical history (thyroid disease) and age (early 40s) she did not write me off and went to great lengths customizing protocols for me.

She set my medication dosage exactly as was needed in order to stimulate me appropriately in order to get the most mature eggs, but was very careful to never overstimulate me and put my health at risk.

She was with me every step of the way and would see me every day if necessary. She evaluated my progress during stimulation and did not set arbitrary dates for retrieval. I felt like she was very patient to get the most optimum results...Her encouragement to try again can sometimes be a lot when you are emotional but I am glad to have her pushing towards the goal that I set for myself...Dr. Elassar took time to understand our situation and explain every detail thoroughly. She clearly thinks a mile a minute but is willing to walk you through her thought process,…Dr. Elassar took time to understand our situation and explain every detail thoroughly. She clearly thinks a mile a minute but is willing to walk you through her thought process, and her approach is tailored to each couple. The bottom line is, we were able to achieve pregnancy after our first IVF implantation. After trying for so long (including 7 IUIs) it felt like a miracle. We can't recommend Dr Elassar more highly...Dr. Azim was great and particularly supportive through a miscarriage...After my miscarriage, Dr. Azim was very helpful in working towards figuring out what may have gone wrong and…Dr. Azim was great and particularly supportive through a miscarriage...After my miscarriage, Dr. Azim was very helpful in working towards figuring out what may have gone wrong and how it could be prevented thereafter...I never felt pressured into any treatment - Dr. Azim explained all the options to me (pros and cons) while sharing his professional advice without pushing any particular alternative....she [Dr. Alyaa Elassar] put forth a plan of action to get us pregnant that I not only felt completely comfortable with, but also that I was a part of planning. Dr. Elassar…...she [Dr. Alyaa Elassar] put forth a plan of action to get us pregnant that I not only felt completely comfortable with, but also that I was a part of planning. Dr. Elassar answered all of my questions and assured me every single step of the way. She was available on email ALL THE TIME. I'm not exaggerating - I would email her at 8pm and two hours later, I would have a response from her...She was the one who had to call me when my first transfer didn't work, a devastating time. She shared in my grief but more importantly, she never lost faith that I would be pregnant. Our next transfer a month later, it was her optimism and dedication to me that kept me hopeful. The transfer was a success and we are currently 13 weeks pregnant. I "graduated" from Dr. Elassar's office a few weeks ago and still miss them. Incredibly, Dr. Elassar reached out to me just a week ago to see how I was doing. It made me cry and think of how truly lucky I am to have her in my life. For you women about toHe [Dr Azim] was there to comfort me when I cried because I didn't get pregnant during two cycles with him.

At one point he asked if I wanted IVF and I said I did but I could not afford it and he quickly said "we will find a way to get you the drugs for less money." He was simply wonderful.While out of town, she [Dr. Elassar] called me the day I had to do a trigger shot and pretty much held my hand while on the phone to make sure things go smoothly. Dr Azim who took…While out of town, she [Dr. Elassar] called me the day I had to do a trigger shot and pretty much held my hand while on the phone to make sure things go smoothly. Dr Azim who took over the remainder of that cycle as well as egg retrieval was also a wonderfully caring and warm person...Dr. Elassar also manages to remember your name, what you like to do, and what your partner is up to, which makes the whole objectively rather unenjoyable experience of being poked and prodded much more bearable.Dr. Azim...incredibly warm and professional. Always willing to take the time to talk/explain. I felt like they truly cared about my well-being. Communication was easy and frequent…Dr. Azim...incredibly warm and professional.
