Andrew Levi

Dr Levi is a genius! He knows the science, he studies your case and truly cares for you in making your family dreams come true. He is incredibly thorough but keeps you as the patient in mind that we really don't know the technical terms. He breaks things down and taught us more about reproductive science than most people would ever know.

Be patient, getting pregnant and starting your family doesn't start over night. Dr Levi and his team truly have your best interest in mind.

Dr Levi truly made me feel like I wasn't alone in this journey. Unexplained infertility wasn't anything I was aware of before having to go through this treatment. He helped me to understand that I am not the only woman this has happened to and that every feeling and worry I had was completely normal and in fact expected!

My husband and I tried for a year before we were tested for reproductive issues and were referred to Dr Levi and his team. We started with one month trying on our own while going through diagnostic studies to see if my fellopian tubes were open, uterus was healthy and pollup free. They also tested my husband if he was a contributing factor. It ended up being a joint factor where I started medications and went through three IUI's. After three unsuccessful IUI's our next option was IVF. We went through the stimulation shots, medications for egg retrieval and then finally a fresh embryo transfer 5 days out. We are now 8 weeks pregnant! The process was long, at times painful and disappointing. I am so glad we were referred to Dr Levi and his team we are now looking forward to having our dream come true.

Katherine is just wonderful! She's kind, funny and so supportive. She knew exactly what to say when my IUI's were unsuccessful and she was sincerely happy to tell us our IVF worked. Katherine truly shows she loves her work and is a phenomenal asset to Dr Levi's team.

The office is great! The administrative staff is always happy to see you when you walk in the door and they greet you personally every time.

Everything went through our insurance but it still cost us Co pays and extra fees through the pharmacy for specific drugs

Dr.Levi is absolutely fantastic! We met with him to begin the process and left feeling optimistic and in good hands. Throughout our time with Dr.Levi we always felt comfortable and that we were getting the best possible care. Questions were always handled well and explained completely. Even after we "graduated" from the office and had questions, he was helpful and reassuring. I recommend Dr. Levi completely and without hesitation.

The best advice I have is, you have to be patient throughout the process. Also, if you don't understand, ask.

Dr.Levi is a very capable and caring doctor. He explains everything so you can understand it and feel comfortable. He does not give false hope or promises that cannot be met. He tells it like it is in the most human way.

I don't completely remember all of the protocols in specifics. We did IUI three times, and it didn't work. Dr.Levi explained that it isn't anything that I am doing or not doing and that it is "out of my control". I needed to hear that and it gave me permission to try to let go of my want to control the situation.

Katherine, along with the rest of the staff were wonderful. The first time I had to get blood taken she talked to me to help me with my nervousness. Everyone was kind and compassionate.

Park Ave Fertility is absolutely fantastic! I cannot think of any weaknesses only strengths; everyone is kind and caring.

I have very good insurance and didn't have huge out of pocket costs besides having to pay to have embryos frozen as that is not covered under my insurance.

We transferred two embryos both each time we did a transfer. Our second transfer was successful.

Dr. Levi is personable, knowledgeable, and an effective communicator. He communicates his treatment plan very well and made me feel very comfortable as a patient. I was very satisfied with my experience as a patient and would highly recommend Dr. Levi to anyone in need of his services.

Do not delay having a consultation and starting treatments!

I am so happy I was seen by Dr. Levi to treat infertility. He was dedicated to helping me and my husband start a family and was always optimistic of our chances even in the face of negative results when I was losing faith. But with the support and expertise of Dr. Levi and his staff, we were successful and I will forever be grateful to Park Avenue Fertility.

I had 5 cycles of IVF. I started treatments when I was 40 years old and an IUI did not make sense for my case. I responded well to the particular combination of stimulation drugs in the first cycle but my progesterone level was high so I had to undergo a frozen embryo transfer in order to prepare my body for a potential pregnancy. Out of 3 frozen embryos, we implanted two and had a negative pregnancy test. The third embryo is still frozen at this time. For the second cycle, the protocol for the egg stimulation was modified to keep my progesterone level down. I believe there was the addition of Lupron. A fresh transfer was planned but no inseminated embryos developed well enough over 5 days so no transfer occurred. The protocol for the third stimulation phase was modified again and I had less eggs retrieved. One inseminated embryo developed after 5 days and it was transferred at that time (fresh) but, unfortunately, I had a chemical pregnancy which eventually ended. The fourth stimulation protocol was again adjusted and I had 2 embryos develop for a fresh transfer but a negative pregnancy test. Finally for the fifth cycle, the stimulation protocol was more similar to my first in order to produce more eggs. Two inseminated embryos developed for a frozen transfer and a positive singleton pregnancy resulted. I am currently 23 weeks along.

Pat is Dr. Levi's RN and she is excellent! She is extremely knowledgeable, upfront, and personable. Pat is equally available for a response to a question or a hug. She is a huge asset to Dr. Levi's office.

This clinic's strengths are the quality of the customer service, the ease of scheduling, the individualized treatment, the availability of Dr. Levi and his staff for questions or concerns, and the feeling that they really care about you and your outcome. The weakness of this clinic is that the wait time can run a little long sometimes.

My first cycle was self pay and ended up costing ~$18,000 for all drugs and services. The next cycles were covered as I was under my husbands insurance so the costs were for co-payments for office visits and the prescription drugs, ~$300-400.

I did not have many choices between implanting 1-2 embryos and Dr. Levi generally allowed me and my husband to decide.

He was knowledgeable and informative and had good bedside manner. In our initial consult, he made me feel very reassured that he would do things differently than my prior doctors, which gave me optimism that I might have a better outcome. But in the end, my treatment was not very different, and the outcome was the same. But overall, my experience was very positive.

Ask lots of questions, especially if you feel that the treatment is not proceeding as he originally said it would.

He took the time to get to know me and was very personable and always talked me through his thinking about all decisions. After my treatment failed, he took the time to call me to discuss next steps (although this phone call did feel a bit like he was trying to "sell" me on continued treatments). His office staff was also very personable and friendly and never made me feel like a number. They always knew my name when I walked in the door.

I saw him for a frozen embryo transfer of an existing embryo that was created at a different clinic. Because I had 4 PGS-tested embryos, and 3 of them had already failed to stick, this was my very last embryo. He assured me that he would figure out what was wrong with my uterus and find the reason why these embryos were not sticking. He performed a hysteroscopy, whereas in the past I'd only had SHGs. In the end, he told me (as previous doctors had as well) that my uterus looked perfect and he was very optimistic for success. When I asked why, then, he thought the other 3 had failed, his answer was basically, "Well, that was another clinic and I can't speak for them." In the end, the 4th embryo, under his care, also led to a chemical pregnancy. So he really wasn't able to figure out what's wrong as he promised he would... but I don't know if that's his fault or if my issues are truly "unexplained."

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Catherine was very responsive to email inquiries.

It is a very friendly, inviting clinic. The number of patients seen is small, so there is more individualized attention. I would almost always see the doctor himself, rather than a resident or nurse. Everyone in the practice knew me by name.

I believe the initial testing (bloodwork, hysteroscopy, etc.) was around $1300 (self-pay package). The FET was just under $4000 (self-pay discounted price).

I only had one embryo left, so this was not discussed as there was no option to transfer multiple.

Dr. Levi is a compassion and honest person. He doesn't hide anything, he tells it like it is and he does it in a way that is compassion to what I was going through. He never gives you false hope. He made me feel comfortable everytime I go in. He answers all questions. He definitely words it in a way to help not hinder.

Just trust him, he has made my dream come true, it may have been a long process(at least for my case) but he's with you every step of the way.

I definitely felt like a human as soon as I walked in. It amazes me that my 2nd appointment, they recognized me right away and remembered my name, it was such a pleasant surprise. The staff is so amazing.

during my last ivf, his suggestion was to be on a no carb diet, so he can have more room to get to the eggs, since first IVF failed, to no fault of anyone's. I did the diet as prescribed, and this time around, it worked, he was able to manuever and get what he needed to get to make this a success. THANK YOU!!!!

The nursing staff is amazing, kind, compassionate, and understanding. They were always available whenever I had a question. It's good to call in and not have to leave a message, they were able to put them on the phone(of course if available). It's great that if you do leave a message, they get back to you right away. Can't say anything negative about them, there's nothing negative. They are awesome.

They were very accomodating to my schedule, they are very nice and respectful and professional. I can't think of any weaknesses. But if your looking for a clinic where they will treat you with respect, and have a 1 on 1 relationship with the doctor, then this is your place. You are definitely treated like a human, not a number. It saddened me to leave, they knew me, they understood me.

All my monitoring appointments went well. I had no issues, all questions was answered, and any issues was discussed. Next steps was always discussed, love this office.

Unsure, but very lucky to have the insurance I had since it covered majority of the procedures.

From my initial consultation, I felt that Dr. Levi was very compassionate and had my best interest in mind, not just making money. He listened to my story and was very kind. He encouraged me to stay the course when I was getting frustrated and went out of his way to make the process as easy and painless as possible.

If you have questions, ask them.

Every time I went, I was greeted warmly by the staff. They knew my name and cheered me on through my treatments. I saw Dr. Levi at every visit and he took time to talk through everything with me.

I have no known fertility problems, but my husband makes no sperm so we use a donor. I had trouble at a previous doctor with cysts while on clomid. I told Dr. Levi this and he was encouraging when he told me we could just try monitoring and a trigger shot with iui, instead of jumping straight to clomid as i was also concerned about multiples. We did this for two cycles, then started back on clomid. I did three more cycles of clomid+trigger and iui and finally got pregnant on my 5th IUI. He was confident it would work eventually, and he was right!

Everyone I dealt with was super professional and compassionate. They knew me by name and we're always responsive very quickly if I had questions or concerns. A couple of times, when calling with results or for scheduling they would get confused on what my plan of care was. But I know they were probably calling multiple people and I always knew the plan. Other than that, they were all wonderful.

I don't have any complaints except that since it is a small practice, there was sometimes a longer than expected wait. But nothing outrageous. Also, because its small, you really will feel like a person, which is a huge strength. So much of this infertility stuff is dehumanizing, but they make you forget about all of that.

I had 80% coverage for all testing and up to 4 IUIs. I think we paid approximately $1000-$1200 for the remaining 20%.

My husband and I can't say enough great things about Dr.Levi. Dr.Levi is extremely sensitive to the fact that most people visiting him, wanted to be pregnant yesterday and understands the urgency that couples feel. He makes time to get to know his patients and form relationships with them. You always feel that he has your best interest in mind.His office is truly one of a kind. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly, and always there for you. We will definitely return to Dr Levi when we are ready for our second child.

You are in great hands.

Dr Levi has a wonderful bedside manner, and treats his patients with compassion.

Dr Levi, himself, performed several diagnostic exams, to check for blockages in my Fallopian tubes, cervix and uterus. Once this was all clear, we began our first round of stimulated IUI, 5 days of clomid, and a trigger shot the night before insemination.

The whole team at Park Ave is great. Catherine was a great PA, and a great communicator. She always called same day with results and was also reachable by email. It is very easy to get a hold of Dr Levi or Catherine.

I would recommend going to Park Ave 100%, the team is fantastic including the office staff. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I dont think that there are any weaknesses, I would recommend to keep doing what your doing.

I just paid my copay for IUI and $190 for the trigger shot

I grew to trust Dr. Levi. I trusted that he was making the best decisions for my treatment and that he had my best interests at heart. As stessful as tge whole process of IF is, I actually enjoyed interacting with him and planning next steps. I always felt at ease around him.

Ask all the questions you have. Always make sure you leave an appointment comfortable with what is happening and what is next.

He is a solo practitioner so I always saw him or his nurse practitioner. He was empathetic. He seems to really understand the struggle emotionally of infertility.

I did the Lupron microdose protocol and angoist protocol. I used primarily lupron, gonal f and menopur.

They communicated well and were caring and compassionate.

The front desk ladies are always professional and understanding of schedule changes. The clinic is clean and well maintained with up to date equipment and excellent laboratory. Which is essential for an IVF clinic!

The costs are steep! These medical procedures are costly and many were not covered by my insurance.

For donor eggs he strongly recommends eSET but was ok with 2 for own eggs

Dr. Levi made me feel very comfortable to ask questions and voice my concerns. He was genuinely encouraging throughout the process. He also had a very relatble way which he describes medical terms and procedures.

Be as open and honest as you can and Dr Levi will be able to tailor your treatment to best suit you, saving you time.

Personal greetings and bedside manner of Dr. Levi and his team.

The nursing staff was fantastic. They all were always cheerful which really helps when going through treatment like this. They worked well as a team and always greated you by name.

The manner of the people and how they treat the patients are the real strengths. They obviously know the medical science behind everything, but the way they make their patients feel throughout the ups and downs of treatment like this was what will make me return to this clinic when it's time for my next child. Add such, they are in high demand and the one draw back is thatyou might have to wait a bit to get in.

He takes the time to listen and explain, seems very competent and caring. We had success with one embryo left and the Dr warned us that the odds were against us - not impossible but not strong, but did not give us a hard time about trying. Fortunately it worked and we have a beautiful baby as a result. I felt that the Dr was realistic with us, caring and competent as a Dr

Ask about pricing in advance. It is an expensive process and you want to be prepared. Also have the genetic testing done - it is not cheap but can help you avoid useless transfers that cost a lot of money to transfer an embryo with no chance at survival.

The Dr and all staff were polite, courteous and professional at all times. Appointments were kept on-time.

competent and caring.

They are very professional and competent. They keep appointments on time, seem to run at a low volume so you get personal treatment. Dr Levi is absolutely a caring and competent physician and skilled in his practice area.

I think he only transfers one at a time but confirm it with him.

Dr Andrew Levi is amazing! He is the only doctor in the practice so it can be a wait to get appointments but that is because he is with you every step of the way. Always made me feel comfortable and made sure I understood what was happening during all the tests. Always open and honest about everything going on. Follow up calls from his office to see how I was.

Be patient during your 1st visit as it is the initial visit and we were waiting over an hour to first meet with him to set up a plan, but it was all worth it in the end.

All the nurses knew me by sight/name. Always made me feel comfortable.

Nursing staff is top notch at the office!

The clinic is clean and modern. Waiting area is comfortable. Exam rooms are a good size and comfortable as well. I have no negatives to say about the clinic. The AC was always running strong and the water cooler was always full.

We had a $50 copay per our insurance anytime I stepped into the office.

We did 2 transfers with Dr Levi. The first in 2014 and we transferred 2 embryos and one took and we had a boy. The second time in 2016 we did 2 again and dr Levi did tell us we had a higher chance of twins since both embryos were high quality and we did have twins.

He is smart, thorough, fully involved in his patients care - single doctor practice- and also kind. We saw him at him at every visit and never felt like a number. He spends a lot of time with each patient fully discussing every procedure and the risks and benefits. My husband even liked him! I wish there were more doctors like him out there.

Go!

He really listened. Took the time to talk in length with my husband and myself about possible options. We had one on one care with him and he was not pushy at all.

They were prompt, I never waited for long for appointments. The nurses weren't particularly winning, but they certainly weren't bad. We had some issues with billing not being as clear as we would have liked about cost but I think that was more of an issue with the insurance company than with them. Overall, a great practice.

He felt very strongly about only transferring a single embryo- at least for me.

Dr.Levi made the entire process easy and worry even when there were times it was a bit tough. He worked well with my husband and I with explaining everything and making us feel comfortable during retrieval’s and transfers. I felt at ease in his care. Amazing doctor. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

They treated me as family. Everyone in the office knew my name and they worked with me every step of the way

The staff at Park Ave Fertility are all amazing. From receptionist to nursing assistants and billing department they all knew my name and made me feel welcome everytime I came into the office. They show just as much compassion and care as Dr.Levi does.

He had great bedside manner. He made hard days easier with his sense of humor. He was very involved in monitoring care even though he is not at every routine visit.

Trust him.

Dr. Levi is not present at every appointment. His nurses take care of the more "mundane" care. Blood work internal exams etc. but he is very involved in care abd reviews your file. I got a personal phone call from him telling me I had to get in the office within a few hours for an IUI we originally thought would happen 2 days later.

We did 3 iUIs with my first. Negative first, chemical second then pregnant 3rd. With my second child we got pregnant on the first IUI.

Very compassionate and friendly.

My case was extemely tough as there was no cause found for my repeated miscarriages but Dr Levi never gave up hope for us and was always kind, caring and helped us stay as optimistic as we could. I honestly don't think i would have kept trying if it wasn't for him and his staff and finally at age 42 I had my miracle baby. Thank goodness we never gave up!

Trust him, he really does know what he's doing.

Dr Levi was very kind and went above and beyond for me. He would personally call me to check up on me after my miscarriages and did everything in his power to make treatment as affordable as he could (including obtaining donated medications for me). I never felt like a "number" at this office, the whole staff was very warm and caring.

They were all very nice. The office did go through several nurses during the 3 years I was a patient there which was surprising. My favorite nurse was Jenn (who left when she had her son), but I have nothing bad to say about any of them.
