Kofinas Fertility Group

One of their strengths would be they don't have a set appointment schedule between the hours of 7-9am. So you can just walk right in and be seen by a doctor or a nurse for blood draws. They are also very welcoming. When it comes to weaknesses I would say one is that it does take a while to hear back from them if you leave a message for a nurse or doctor. Calling in for results usually ends up an all day game of phone tag. Other than that I love this facility and would recommend it to anyone ttc.

Dr. B was the first doctor to ever make me feel comfortable throughout my entire 8 years of ttc. The moment I met him he was funny, talkative and made me feel like my journey was in the right hands. No matter how scared I was during our visits he reassured me that he wouldn't cause me any unnecessary pain. I appreciated that because other doctors would just poke and prod me like cattle. He wasn't my regular doctor at first, but after my doctor quit the facility I made it my business to request him for each of my visits thereafter.

My nurse for a good portion of my visits was Jessica. She was the best. Every day that I was there she'd be happy and cheerful. No matter how nerve wrecking the appointment she'd manage to calm me. The day I found out I'd need surgery she was there and managed to ease all the fear within me. There are a few really great nurses there but she's definitely one of the best.

Dr. B hit it off with me right from the start. When I first started my journey with Kofinas Institute I originally had another doctor. She had gotten pregnant and was having complications so majority of the time she'd be on leave. They tried to fit me in with another doctor but she was very cold. Like ice. So I requested another doctor. That's when I met Dr.B. From the start he was kind and talkative. I was just about to do my 2nd IUI (of a back to back IUI process) and was completely shaken up as my first IUI had gone terribly just 2 days prior. He made me so relaxed that I barely even felt the catheter go through. He even let me know about my tilted uterus which no other doctor had ever informed me. Dr.B took the time to care about my situation if even just for that moment. I appreciated that.

He likes to talk so be prepared to listen.

Prior to being under the care of Dr.B I had a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and d&c because an HSG exam did not work for me. While inside they found a large mass weighing down my left Fallopian tube which they removed. They also found endometriosis stage 1 which they too removed. My tubes were reportedly open and I was give. The green light to begin ttc again. 2 weeks after surgery I started my first round of Clomid 50mgs. It failed. After that I did 3 more cycles of Clomid 50mgs. Ovulation didn't occur and pregnancy wasn't achieved. I was told I would need to go the route of injections. While under the care of Dr.B I was on a 75iu then 125iu of Gonal-F switching everyday for about 2 weeks. I'd go in every other day for an ultrasound and blood draws. When my eggs matured I was given the OK to do my trigger shot of Novarel. 2 days after triggering I went in for my IUI. I did this routine for 4 months. Each cycle was a failed attempt and none achieved pregnancy. After my final IUI I was told by Dr.B during a consult visit that IVF would be my last hope at achieving a pregnancy. Since then we've been trying but struggling to save up our pennies to make that happen.

My copay was $50 per visit. I had to visit every other day for 3 weeks per month. My injections out of pocket were $80 per injection. I used about 21 injections per cycle. Those were the only costs I had to endure during my past treatments.

The clinic was very helpful in connecting to speak with someone of your choice when called. Overall I would say they were good. I couldn't find any weaknesses of the clinics staff with the exception of gt he financial coordinator, she was very rude.

The doctor and staff were very kind except for the financial coordinator.

Nursing staff was very well and helpful to all questions.

Dr. Kofinas was very kind and explained my situation and results from each test very thoroughly. I was very happy with him I just wish we had the funds to continue to try to make our dream come true. Dr. Kofinas went through each exam and procedure needed to come to the final result of either I can get pregnant or I have no chance.

Always follow your dream and never give up because Dr. Kofinas is here to help and guide you through the process.

I have been diagnosed with no eggs of my own, therefore I need a donor egg to be able to get pregnant. I took vaginal sonogram and HSN and endometrial biopsy. Dr. Kofinas described the results came back good and that if I got the donor egg I would carry to term and healthy and most likely carry to tern And natural birth. These results would tell me if I had a chance to get pregnant or no chance at all. They gave me the greatest news that day because although I couldn't have my own baby I still had a chance to carry with a donor egg.

I remember paying $500 for first visit and tests of HSN and biopsy was around 1800 and 145 additional for visit.

The staff at Kofinas really puts in the effort to get to know their patients. You don't feel like a number and you feel like they really care about you. The biggest drawback is that they tend to get a little unorganized in their administrative department. Especially when it comes to billing.

His bedside manner is excellent, but he is also direct and to the point.

The nurses at Kofinas, while overworked at times, really get to know you on a personal basis and it feels like they absolutely care about the patients there. I would say the only weakness is a lack of organization at times when they are incredibly busy.

He is an excellent doctor with a great knowledge of his specialty. While he doesn't always have the answers we are looking for, he is trustworthy and compassionate. There are specialized infertility issues that he is not as tuned into, but as a general infertility doctor, he does a great job.

Be prepared to ask for more specifics.

We were on Lupron to prepare for the cycle, then switched to progesterone oil and lovenox before and after the transfer.

Transfer itself is around $4,000. All of the meds and other procedures surrounding the cycle are a la carte and the whole thing usually ends up being around $10,000.

N/A. Our embryos were PGS tested, so no reason to do multiple.

Doctors and front desk staff are great. The nurse station is good too, but when there in the rush hours which is usually monitoring from 6-9 they are very busy and forget to call in prescriptions. The MA are great 👍🏽

She has always ask how I am doing after every failed cycle.

There nice, they make you feel welcomed, the only think I dislike about them is that they have never called in medications in on time for me such as the clomid , and hcg which is a vital part of the treatment

My experience with Dr Narine is overall good. She always answers my questions, the only thing that I advise please ask questions to make sure you get your answer kind of be your own doctor as well and let her know your concerns

Ask question be your on advocate

I’ve had 5 medicated cycles, 4 were timed intercourse and one IUI with clomid, trigger shot HCG and progesterone suppositories.

Insurance covers everything IUI related . Being monitored with blood work, ultrasounds, trigger shot, clomid with just copays coinsurance and deductibles.

The doctors are great, facility is clean, the doctors and nursing staff are compassionate. Even the admin staff is polite and tactful.........................................................................................

I felt like human more so because my case was complicated and landed me in the hospital for extended stays. Dr. Narine was only a text or phone call away at all times. Always offering comfort in whatever way possible.

She was great in ensuring that I was stocked up on my medications, assisted in administering medications and was prompt in calling to give updates on my blood levels and inform me of any changes that I need to make

Very compassionate and knowledgeable. Always took the time to listen and is patient. She at time resorted to the lead doctor to make the final decision...................................................................

You should follow her instructions religiously

My doctor was very concerned about me and tried at all cost to avoid complications. She was adamant about transferring one at a time

the doctor was very personable. during embryo implantation (retreival and implantation always done by kofinas, i believe) we discussed the pelopenisan wars. i always felt treated like a person there.

They were lovely. I only ever had one negative interaction with someone at the front desk, otherwise, everyone I dealt with was very very pleasant.

He was amenable to trying IUI when I wanted to do that, and was happy to switch to IVF when we were ready (which really made more sense to begin with anyway).
