His medical judgment and decision-making were incredibly accurate, which led to quick diagnosis and effective problem solving. I was an extremely anxious patient and communicated with the team through countless emails, but his coordinator Frances was always responsive, compassionate, and helped me stay connected with the team every step of the way. Many of the NPs were also kind, knowledgeable, and experienced. Whether during ultrasounds or while reviewing blood work, they often provided the exact information and reassurance I needed, and I felt I was in capable hands. That said, there was a few interactions with a certain NP that felt less supportive and at times came across as dismissive or not as empathetic as I had hoped, which was difficult during such an emotionally sensitive process. Despite that, thanks to Dr. Grifo and his team, I was finally able to become pregnant with the baby I had been waiting and hoping for for so long. Dr. Grifo is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also a physician with a very special mission — someone who truly cares about each individual patient while also working to make the world brighter through his work in reproductive medicine. I have immense respect for him, and his skills are truly amazing. Even the FemVue procedure was almost painless, and his ability to interpret ultrasounds was remarkably precise and outstanding. After going through this experience, I completely understand why he is considered one of the best fertility doctors. I will always be grateful to Dr. Grifo and his wonderful team.Fertility clinic

Ultrasound appointments are routinely delayed by 20 minutes to over an hour, even during the earliest morning time slots. On the day of my most recent appointment, I received a call at 7:30 a.m. asking whether I could arrive at 8:00 a.m. instead of my scheduled 8:30 a.m. appointment because they were already anticipating delays. I explained that I could not make the earlier time and would arrive as originally scheduled. Given that I had previously waited over an hour for an appointment at this office and was aware of their frequent delays, I did not rush and ended up arriving 12 minutes late. To my surprise, I was told that I would not be seen because of my lateness. I expressed my disappointment to the supervisor and pointed out the inconsistency: patients are expected to accommodate delays of up to an hour on the provider's end, yet the office was unwilling to accommodate a 12-minute delay from a patient, despite the fact that I would likely have been waiting due to their scheduling delays anyway. At 37 weeks pregnant, unnecessary stress should be the last thing a patient experiences when seeking prenatal care. Healthcare providers have a responsibility to support and care for pregnant women, and this approach felt both unprofessional and lacking in compassion. I hope the office reviews its scheduling policies and treats patients with the same flexibility and understanding that it expects from them.中国姐妹注意了,这里有个会飞针的护士Alyssa,不额外收费。 Once you start your treatment, you’ll be reporting for blood work every morning at this location.

If possible, request Alyssa Kosh - honestly the best blood draw I’ve ever had. In Chinese we have a term, ‘飞针’ (literally ‘flying needle’), for someone whose technique is so fast and precise it’s painless. Only the best nurses get selected for the 飞针 team, and they’re deployed for special occasions. I’m not sure how she learned it, but she’s a master of this Chinese kung fu.I mean, we have our beautiful little baby girl Maya, 5 stars seems like someone cheaped out. lol.

Dr. Grifo was a pleasure to work with. He is a man of science and if you are so inclined he will speak to you on the level that’s appropriate. I wish I could attach a photo of our little 6 month old firecracker for all to see but alas. Thank you NYU Langone. Thank you Dr. Grifo and all of your amazing staff.

Scheduled one month out, and have been calling for days to cancel or you get charged $75.

Both have their strengths, but the staff and efficiency at 53rd really stand out.Very disappointing experience. I called three times today. The first time, they simply hung up on me.

The second and third calls were very rude. On the third call, the phone connection was terrible — I had to repeat the same information over and over again. During the second call, they couldn’t even find my information. On the third call, they asked the same questions countless times, and in the end it was still unclear whether anything was actually resolved. Very frustrating customer service experience."Patients don't care how much you know until they know how much you care" I highly recommend Dr. Weidenbaum. Not only is she an extremely knowledgeable provider with an extensive…"Patients don't care how much you know until they know how much you care" I highly recommend Dr. Weidenbaum. Not only is she an extremely knowledgeable provider with an extensive education from world class institutions, she REALLY shows you that she cares. My appointments with her represent the most human, genuine interaction I have had with a clinician in a long time. She is warm, takes her time to ask you questions and LISTENS To your responses, provides clear, everyday language to explain your conditions to you and the recommended course of care. She does not make unilateral medical decisions on your behalf, but rather engages in patient-centered care where she presents you, the patient with the options, each options associated risks and benefits, acknowledges your own individual preferences, and then asks YOU the patient which treatment option sounds best to you. If we had more doctors like Dr. Weidenbaum, our healthcare system would be a much better, more efficient and less stressful experience for us all. I hope NYU Langone has her training the next generation of providers. Dr. Weidenbaum provides flexibility of appointments- offering virtual visits for consultations and follow up visits to discuss results- and in person appointments when exams and testing are needed. I will also say, this was a "top-down" experience. Dr. Weidenbaum's CNA was very pleasant and professional - and also clearly very well trained. I am not the best patient when it comes to blood draws- not the best veins and vasovagal syndrome that results in fainting (and sometimes vomiting!) when I have my blood drawn. Many phlebotomists struggle with my labs. Dr. Weidenbaum's CNA was incredible. She got a vein and my blood collected in 10 seconds! No slapping my arm, no repositioning the tourniquet and consequently- no fainting! I wish I could go to her for the labs ordered by my other providers! Dr. Weidenbaum's administrative staff- Crystal and Jennifer are equally great. They are incredibly responsive, clear in their communication and easy to work with. I really wish the providers I see regularly at NYU Langone Health were more like Dr. Weidenbaum's team.The doctor was friendly but most staff members were somehow so passive aggressive, sort of entitled, and incompetent.

My brief interaction with them was extremely uncomfortable and stressful, I have decided to go with other providers.It is so hard to talk to someone here.

I am trying to talk to someone for 3 days and my call just get transfer to one dep to another. They don’t even know who can answer my simple question about donor egg prices. How can I even start any treatment here when it’s so challenging just to get simple info. Not a place to go if the staff can not answer a simple questions.Tip 1: If your period does not arrive within the expected window, you might think they will automatically reschedule you for the next month.

You need to contact the coordinator yourself and schedule again Tip 2: They have a communication portal, but all messages are deleted after a short period of time. Save all messages, including the names of the staff members and their email addresses. Tip 3: My doctor denied that mood swings could be a possible side effect. I was not mentally prepared for it. Tip 4: The clinic closes in late December. If your period usually comes in November or December, confirm their availability before planning. Tip 5: Please be considerate. Do not bring any men to the clinic unless it is absolutely necessary. I felt very awful when I saw someone accompanied by a man. The hormone injections made me very emotionally sensitive and fragile.I’ve had the opportunity to talk to and hear Dr. Emily Weidenbaum speak about her approach to patient care, and it’s immediately clear how thoughtful and compassionate she is. She…I’ve had the opportunity to talk to and hear Dr. Emily Weidenbaum speak about her approach to patient care, and it’s immediately clear how thoughtful and compassionate she is. She has a warm, calming presence and explains complex topics in a way that feels both clear and reassuring. As a gay man, it was especially meaningful to hear her speak openly about inclusive care and the many paths to family building.I had a wonderful experience at NYU Fertility Center as a patient of Dr. Berkeley.

From the very beginning, he was incredibly detailed and straightforward, providing clear facts and setting realistic expectations. I was fortunate to respond well to treatment and had a successful egg freezing cycle, and I truly felt supported throughout the process. The doctors, nurses, and staff are all warm, friendly, and professional. I also appreciated how transparent they are about pricing. Everything was explained upfront, so there were no surprises at the end which is such a relief when navigating fertility treatment. I would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable care.Dr. Emily Weidenbaum is an incredible physician.

She is compassionate, patient, and takes the time to clearly explain every step of the process. Fertility treatment can be very stressful, but she makes you feel supported and truly cared for. Her staff is also wonderful kind, organized, and always responsive, which makes the experience much smoother. I always felt listened to and confident in her care. Highly recommend her and her team.I haven’t had my retrieval just yet but up until now I’m so happy with the care and guidance I have received.

Dr. Berkeley and all the nurses at NYU Langone are fantastic. Throughout the monitoring, yes.. there are a lot of woman waiting in the waiting room and as I read in the comments that can feel a little factory like. But it’s a great factory 😊 there is very little waiting time, all the nurses do their job extremely well, always greet you with kindness, ready to answer all of your questions.Horrible facility.

No organization what so ever, which is ridiculous for a place dealing with family planning. Could not go to my appointment because they don't deal with people over a certain bmi, which they informed me before my appointment time mind you they had all my info before hand. These people do not care about their patients.Whenever you are actually at the fertility center everyone is great.

However, if you try to call anyone or get help over the phone, it is impossible to reach an actual person apart from this outsourced answering services they have. On multiple occasions where nurses have called me and I have missed their calls, there was no way for me to call them back and reach them, it always get connected to the answering service. Extremely frustrating. Would not recommend. The administrative side of things have caused a lot of stress throughout my medical journey here.Terrible experience, do not go here.

It is an overpriced factory, you will never have access to your doctor (or a doctor at all). I did my egg freezing here and they mismanaged my medication plan which caused me to only retrieved 15% of eggs (typical is 75%).Very negative experience from our egg retrieval!!

It turns out the anesthesia was not part of NYU langone and they have no idea what's the cost. And it is out of network. We called them to get the number for the anesthesia doctor bill department, and they can't even provide us a correct number. From our insurance claims, we saw a claim with almost 8000$ (our responsibility part), for 15 minutes IV sedation?? Really?? it is outrageous. =========== 2023.7.10============= Update: After my complaint, they reached out and help us to communicate with anesthesia doctor's billing office. It turns out this is a surprise bill and should be cover by insurance. ===========2025.6 =============== I have been experiencing continued challenges with the billing for embryo storage. NYU langone moved to Preclude Cryopreservation for storage since 2023 ish, and in the past two years, despite that my insurance covers the storage cost in the policy, somehow the two parties cannot work together and get this sorted out. For two years I had to call NYU langone, Preclude and my insurance many times, which was incredibly frustrating. Please streamline this process. ===========2025.12============== We got bill from anesthesia doctor's office.. Looks like insurance don't consider this as "surprise bill" since it is operated in an office instead of hospital...Horrible clinic- stay away!

Everyone is disorganized from the front desk to the Dr. I saw Dr. Emily Weidenbaum and had the worst experience. She is very unprofessional, couldn’t answer simple questions and gave confusing guidance. I went to RMA and so much happier with the clinic and doctors.

I was in severe pain and needed to talk to someone and I couldn’t even get to the call center not to mention a doctor after my procedure.My recent visit was as a new patient and I found the experience very pleasant and helpful.

One of the first things I noticed upon entering the clinic was its cleanliness and the welcoming atmosphere. With multiple offices and convenient scheduling options, it's clear that patient comfort and accessibility are top priorities. The phlebotomy staff at NYU Fertility Clinic are truly wonderful – their kindness and expertise made the process as comfortable as possible. I was especially impressed by the compassionate and highly skilled OR nurses, anesthesiologists, and doctors, who consistently provided top-notch care with a personal touch. Some of the standout features of this clinic include: Year-round availability, including weekends, allowing for tailored treatment based on individual responses Attentive and caring nurses Highly professional and knowledgeable doctors Same-day follow-up calls, ensuring a prompt and seamless experience While my overall experience at NYU Fertility Clinic was overwhelmingly positive, there were a couple of areas where I feel improvements could be made: Phlebotomy appointment scheduling can be frustrating, as wait times often exceed one hour. Despite advocating for myself and expressing my concerns, this issue persisted not only for me but for other patients as well. While I don't expect appointments to run like clockwork, such extensive delays can be stressful. While most ultrasound readings were performed accurately, I found some inconsistency in the readings performed by nurses, which can be concerning for patients seeking reliable results. One piece of advice: be your own advocate and ask to talk to our doctor every time you need to. In conclusion, NYU Fertility Clinic provides an outstanding level of care and professionalism, and I am grateful for the dedicated team that has supported me on my fertility journey. With a few adjustments to address appointment wait times and consistency in ultrasound readings, this clinic could truly be the gold standard in reproductive healthcare.Everybody was very helpful and answered all questions, even if it meant repeating themselves!

When I finally spoke to someone about the next step, they were going to put me through procedure that was not discussed and was not agreed to. On top of that, they drew my blood for genetic testing despite they know it is not going to be covered my insurance and despite there were no plan in place… this clinic definitely cares more about $$$ than anything else.

She actually wants to be there, helping her patients, providing advice, and she does it all with an especially comforting (and yet still honest) bedside manner. She made me look forward to appointments rather than dread them because I knew it would give her the information she needed to help us make the best possible choice, and that she would put the same amount of time and effort into determining a course of action as she would for herself.Although I didn't see Dr. Devore during my treatment (the schedules never matched up), I felt very cared for.

She not only guided us medically through every step, but emotionally as well. She explained every option thoroughly, always made sure we understood, and never rushed a conversation. Her encouragement and ability to bring light even in the most painful moments kept me going when I wanted to give up. I truly don’t think I would be where I am today — holding a beautiful baby in my arms — without her unwavering support and care.

She clearly explains all test results and all treatment options. Once we decided to move forward with egg retrieval and embryo implantation, Dr. Blakemore was there every step of the way, guiding us through this emotional and arduous process. When there were setbacks, Dr. Blakemore was straightforward about results while always remaining positive and discussing next steps. She also provided extensive emotional support at each appointment, and even between. She called before and after each procedure to check in and answered emails with questions at all times of the day/night.Dr. Blakemore is extremely warm, knowledgeable, and personable.

I got more eggs in one cycle with Dr. Blakemore than I got in four combined at my other clinic. Also, Dr. Blakeman never gave up on our journey. I went through six transfers, one ended in a miscarriage and D&C, two were chemical pregnancies, and two didn't work...that "last shot" resulted in our son who is now 9 months old. There aren't enough words to describe how great Dr. Blakemore is. She is truly one of one, the GOAT, the absolute best.

It feels more like a partnership and he really listens to all of my concerns. He has a great bedside manner and a very calming presence that helps ease anxiety. He is generally quick to respond to emails. He will spend as much time on the phone as you need answering questions and talking through your case, and never rushes you off the phone or out of the office. He strikes the right balance of being direct and honest but gentle when he delivers news.Dr. Cascante is a truly exceptional doctor and person.

She has answered my endless questions with no judgement over 2 years, delivered good and bad news with sensitivity, offered scientific explanations for my data-driven brain, and compassion when there was no rational explanation. Her care has kept me moving forward through so heavy uncertainty. There are not words sufficient to express how deeply grateful I am for Dr. Cascante.Dr. DeVore is literally the BEST there is!!

I did not see or interact with him as much as I would have liked...was honest and candid about my low AMH scores and the potential of only getting 6-8 eggs and likely needing to do 2 cycles...didn't really explain why my numbers were the way they were but changed the treatment.Any question I presented, she [Dr. Shannon DeVore] was happy to answer.

She's honest, doesn't just tell you what you want to hear; she doesn't sugarcoat. In my gender representation, I expressed nervousness with the ultrasound probe, so she immediately decided to do the abdominal ultrasound instead. She told me unless it is completely necessary, I didn't have to have the probe at all. It is a relief to have a doctor who is as empathetic as she is and really tries to work with what I am comfortable with.She [Dr. Shannon DeVore] treats her patients as more than patients, she sees them as human.

Even though she sees so many patients, she makes you feel like your specific situation and family building goals really matter...I am so grateful for Dr Blakemore. It has been a long process but my husband and I have consistently felt like Dr Blakemore was in our corner. When insurance declined to cover my second egg retrieval she with no hesitation wrote a letter on my behalf. Having that advocacy - even though we didn’t get the outcome we wanted was huge.Dr Devore was extremely personable.

She knew my history and wants/needs as a patient very well, and always communicated with me in a way that was precisely tuned to the kind of communication style I prefer - which I feel is a huge talent, to intuit what communication style a patient likes and be able to give that to them. I felt as if she grieved alongside us with every failed cycle and miscarriage, and like she was just as elated as we were when we finally had success...Although we only saw Dr. Grifo a few times during the course of our treatment, we always felt well-informed about our treatment plan and also appreciated getting a timely callback…Although we only saw Dr. Grifo a few times during the course of our treatment, we always felt well-informed about our treatment plan and also appreciated getting a timely callback anytime we had to leave a message or had questions...He was never in a rush when in the room with us or meeting with us and we always felt like we could ask him any questions we had and get honest answers...[his] expertise and compassion shone through at every stepDr. Devore was very encouraging and supportive.

He often spoke within the context of his extensive career and personal experience with infertility, with the point being that his professional opinion of our specific circumstances could be trusted, because he's seen it all - and he also understood the heartache and hope. This was always done in a reassuring - not arrogant - manner. We felt confident we were in good hands.My doctor [Dr. James Grifo] takes the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and provide emotional support, which has made a significant difference in my experience.…My doctor [Dr. James Grifo] takes the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and provide emotional support, which has made a significant difference in my experience.

She told me right away, and then cleared her calendar so that we could do the IUI that afternoon instead of waiting another day. I probably talked to her 3 times on the phone that day to make the decision to do IUI right then -- and I'm so grateful I did!...I always felt like she listened to me and understood my personal needs. Her recommendations were specific to my personal medical situation as well as my needs and life. She was caring and compassionate every step of the way. She took the time needed to answer all my questions and never rushed through. And, she was extremely thorough with her answers.During my 1:1 consult I felt very connected with Dr Grifo especially because I met with him in the past and he seemed to really understand my journey. He recommended surrogacy at…During my 1:1 consult I felt very connected with Dr Grifo especially because I met with him in the past and he seemed to really understand my journey. He recommended surrogacy at this point due to torturing my body for 8 years now with no results. He himself did surrogacy so I felt like I was in good hands. However once I was a patient I felt a little like a number because he was not as involved in my cycles and I mainly was in contact with whatever dr was on call.After three transfers and no successful pregnancy, he [Dr. James Grifo] is not only encouraging me to continue but ensures me that this process will result in a baby it is just a…After three transfers and no successful pregnancy, he [Dr. James Grifo] is not only encouraging me to continue but ensures me that this process will result in a baby it is just a matter of time and numbers (at some point it will work). He understands how frustrating that is and is constantly encouraging me and letting me know how well I'm doing despite the anxiety, fear, pain, discomfort and hormonal roller coaster.Dr Hodes was so invested in our success...She always gave her honest opinion about what we could expect and what we were up against. She was encouraging without getting us overly…Dr Hodes was so invested in our success...She always gave her honest opinion about what we could expect and what we were up against. She was encouraging without getting us overly encouraged at any given step, since there are so many. But most importantly, my treatment was personalized and so far was wildly more successful than at my first clinicDr. Keefe is kind, warm and compassionate, and takes time to explain and answer questions in great detail. I've only seen hime twice, both times for consultation. My only negative…Dr. Keefe is kind, warm and compassionate, and takes time to explain and answer questions in great detail. I've only seen hime twice, both times for consultation. My only negative is that I wish I would see him more throughout the process. I only saw him for initial consultations. The rest of the time you deal mainly with the nurse coordinator and other doctors and technicians...He's not the doctor to see if you want personalized, individual attention from your doctor at every stage during the IVF process. I feel very confident with the level of care that I'm receiving and his oversight over my care, but there isn't much face time with Dr. Keefe. Their practice is so highly respected and has high success rates, that it's worth it to me.Who you would meet
