he [Dr. Chatzicharalampous] took a lot of time up front to understand our particular situation. We had already done one unsuccessful IVF cycle at another well-known and supposedly respected clinic. My partner is a testicular cancer survivor, requiring him to be on testosterone replacement therapy for 9 years resulting in a 0 sperm count...Dr. C listened to what we had been through, and recognized that my partner would most likely need a TESE procedure as his sperm count indicated probable sperm quality issues...
[Kofinas Fertility Group] Very nice and clean facilities, convenient satellite offices where you are able to do monitoring and see the Doctor. Also, the embryology lab there is very very good...there are two finance departments it seems- one for the surgical center and one for the clinic- super confusing. In fact I thought I had paid in full ahead of time for my retrieval but it turned out I had only paid the surgical center portion and not the portion needed at the clinic...
How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I highly recommend Dr. C, he was kind, warm, friendly and funny. I always looked forward to seeing him during my visits and I was able to see him at almost all of my visits. Most importantly, he took a lot of time up front to understand our particular situation. We had already done one unsuccessful IVF cycle at another well-known and supposedly respected clinic. My partner is a testicular cancer survivor, requiring him to be on testosterone replacement therapy for 9 years resulting in a 0 sperm count. After a year of injections and meds he was able to get a just a few sperm back which was great news. However the first clinic was not able to get any embryos for us and also were very unresponsive so we decided to switch to Kofinas. Dr. C listened to what we had been through, and recognized that my partner would most likely need a TESE procedure as his sperm count indicated probable sperm quality issues. He referred him to a urologist who agreed, and coordinated my IVF cycle perfectly so the retrieval landed on the one day the urologist performed outpatient procedures, so we did not have to freeze the retrieved sperm and were able to get 5 embryos out of 9 eggs retrieved. Dr. C also did more tests than the other clinic, and identified some autoimmune issues which he treated me for. I had Dr. C’s email, and emailed him with any questions I had and he always got back to me very quickly.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Go ahead and ask as many questions as you can so you have a clear understanding and realistic expectations of your situation and odds of success.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Harry took the time to get to know me and my partner, and I could tell he really cared about my results. He was also very responsive to questions, and was honest but hopeful about our chances of success.
Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
We used gonal-f and menopur and triggered with lupron I think. I don’t remember details. My partner underwent a TESE procedure after injections of HCG and Clomid pills.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I loved all the nurses. I probably worked with Mio the most, she was so nice and helpful, and went above and beyond for me. After my transfer, we travelled out of state to visit family, and she helped me coordinate blood draws and treatments while in VA.
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
Very nice and clean facilities, convenient satellite offices where you are able to do monitoring and see the Doctor. Also, the embryology lab there is very very good. This may be the most important thing to consider when picking a clinic- if you get a ton of eggs but then don’t have the very best embryology lab fertilizing them you could still have very poor results. You can also purchase meds there which is convenient, except you are required to pay for them in cash which is a pain. Which leads me to the one negative about the clinic- the billing / payment system. Seems like their whole billing department is stuck in the 90s- from what I could tell, every time I paid a copay, the receptionist hand wrote me a receipt in one of those carbon copy receipt books which means someone would need to reconcile those at the end of the day, like what?! Also, there are two finance departments it seems- one for the surgical center and one for the clinic- super confusing. In fact I thought I had paid in full ahead of time for my retrieval but it turned out I had only paid the surgical center portion and not the portion needed at the clinic. While this was my mistake, it led to panic the morning of my retrieval that was pretty traumatic. Some advice: be sure you triple check you are paid in full before your procedure.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Kofinas Fertility Group.
There were monitoring time slots in the morning. I would usually be seen within 15 mins, but on occasion it would be closer to 45 mins but that was only once or twice.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I was all out of pocket, and I think total I paid about 5k for meds for one cycle and transfer, 2k at the surgical center and 24.5k for the retrieval, PGS testing and one transfer. I had $15 copays for monitoring.
Describe Charalampos Chatzicharalampous's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Kofinas Fertility Group.
We had our embryos PGS tested, and got to euploid embryos, so Dr. C recommended transferring just 1.

Dr. Chatzicharalampous was nice but he was a little on the colder side...My appointments always felt a bit rushed...[he] would often be standing up and ready to leave instead of asking if I had any more questions - as such, I would have to scramble a bit to ensure I got his attention and had my questions answered before he was up and out...My one desire is that he just took more time to explain the process, explain what was coming next, set loose expectations even if they might change etc. and to ensure questions are always answered before rushing out.
The clinic [Kofinas Fertility Group] is clean and the staff is overall quite friendly. My only note is I was very taken aback my first monitoring visit when I waited almost two hours before being seen...When I left I asked if this was common, and the front desk staff bluntly just said yes. No apologies for the inconvenience or anything like that...it would be courteous to warn people if they expect the appointments themselves to require 2+ hours.
How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. C was nice but he was a little on the colder side. He did not necessarily have the warmest bed side manner and often came off like he was in a rush. My one desire is that he just took more time to explain the process, explain what was coming next, set loose expectations even if they might change etc. and to ensure questions are always answered before rushing out.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Be proactive with questions and information you want about the process from the start since you might not get it without asking. I had a stellar outcome so I'm very happy with the care I received but looking back, I wish I asked more questions about the process, what it was doing to my body, what the WHOLE timeline looked like so I could have a sense of what to expect etc. because as time went on, I realized I wasn't going to get it with Dr. C without asking. And to be persistent because you might feel rushed through your questions but insist on taking your time to go through them all regardless.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
My appointments always felt a bit rushed. If I had questions, Dr. C would often be standing up and ready to leave instead of asking if I had any more questions - as such, I would have to scramble a bit to ensure I got his attention and had my questions answered before he was up and out. I also felt like I didn't get anything but the baseline information in each appointment, with info only going to the next time I come in. I never had a walk through of the whole process (i.e.: you'll be coming in every few days in the beginning and it will become more frequent toward the end. You can expect to start with 2 shots a night and ultimately go to 3 as the process progresses. Here are what the medicines are doing to your body to allow for this etc etc.) I went to a different fertility clinic for a consult that I didn't follow through with, but they were fantastic in explaining the science of what egg freezing entails and what the whole process looks like which was very comforting. While I overall had a good experience at Kofinas, this was my main piece of feedback - that a little more care can be put into shedding light on the WHOLE process from the beginning (most of what I knew about the specifics of the process I learned from another clinic or Google), and just a tiny bit more time taken during the appointments to remind/explain what can be expected beyond just the next appointment (even if it's subject to change, it helps to understand what is going on.)
Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
-1 of each daily for a week (oral meds): 2mg Estradiol and 10 mg Medroxyprogesterone (This timed up with my cycle - the day the oral meds ended my period began - this would have been a cool process note the doctor could have shared to help set expectations and shed light on the process). -Injections started the day my cycle ended: 2 x 75 iu of Gonal, 1 x 75 iu of Menopur -After 5 days/on the morning of the 6th day, I was told to add a 25mg Cetritide injection in the morning, with 1 x 75 iu of Gonal and 2 x 75 iu of Menopur at night -On the 10th day I was told only to take the Cetritide shot in the morning, with the trigger shots for 1230am that evening (1 shot of HCG and 1 shot of Lupron) -On the 11th day (the day before the retrieval, I had 1 Lupron shot at 8am and 1 Lupron shot at 8pm. -My retrieval was on the 12th day Again, I am very very happy with the outcome - I was able to retrieve a comfortable number of eggs that has me feeling very good about the future, so the guidance and instruction from the doctors was very successful and I felt great the whole time. Just would've loved a bit more info and insight from the beginning and throughout the process.

The nursing staff was very friendly and helpful!
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
The clinic is clean and the staff is overall quite friendly. My only note is I was very taken aback my first monitoring visit when I waited almost two hours before being seen. (I arrived at 8:15 am and was not called into a room until 9:45 am. Then the doctor didn't come back until after 10am - I almost had to walk out because of work meetings. When I left I asked if this was common, and the front desk staff bluntly just said yes. No apologies for the inconvenience or anything like that. If that is common and is generally how mornings run, patients should be warned. I only block out about 2 hours from work for doctor appointments including commute time so it would be courteous to warn people if they expect the appointments themselves to require 2+ hours. The front desk staff could be a little blunt and brash at times, but overall they were fine and I'm sure they get a lot thrown at them throughout the day.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Kofinas Fertility Group.
This is echoing my other comments - there just wasn't a lot of light shed onto things without having to ask for them. I had to ask about a couple labs that were ordered. I got the info promptly after but I don't think I would have gotten the info without asking.

The medication protocol (each time varied to some degree) included clomid, cetrotide, gonal, menopur, HCG and Lupron. I had a laparoscopic procedure to r/o endometriosis following my first unsuccessful IVF cycle- revealing insignificant amount of endometriosis. I underwent ovarian PRP (plasma rich platelets) following by second unsuccessful IVF cycle- resulting in one healthy embryo for each of the next two IVF cycles.

How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr C is a dream of a doctor. He treated us with respect, compassion, and professionalism. It was clear that he loves his job. I always felt he respected my choices, and he was also guided by what he thought clinically would be most suited to our needs.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Though there may be setbacks, you can absolutely trust in the advice given by Dr. C. He is the doctor you want by your side on the sometimes long road to having a baby. I recommend seeing Dr C at the Brooklyn office as he is there nearly every day and there was excellent continuity of care as, for the most part, I saw only him. His colleagues and the nursing staff are also excellent.

How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. C and I started this journey with the same goal, a successful pregnancy. From our first meeting to our last, my husband and I felt confident with our course of treatment. Everything he did was to get us to that goal successfully. You have to trust the process and trust your doctor. I can honestly say I don’t think we would have had a successful outcome if it wasn’t for him. If you need a doctor to be your alley and your advocate, Dr. C is for you!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
He can’t help you if you don’t help yourself. Be proactive and responsible with your appointments and medication. Keep him informed when he is not seeing you and work together like a team.

Dr. Harry [aka Dr. Chatzicharalampous] always treated me with great respect and care and was extremely personable, friendly, helpful and kind...Unfortunately [he] was OOO during my monitoring period before my retrieval, so he wasn't the one administering the visits/treatment plans while I was doing the hormones leading up to retrieval...Always responded to me quickly and took initiative in helping me to understand any questions or concerns I may have had.
Everyone at Kofinas, including the girls who work the front desk, is extremely helpful and friendly. I always felt comfortable, the spaces are all very clean and orderly and it's very impressive what they achieve on a daily basis given the sheer volume of patients that utilize them...For my retrieval, I paid a $2,700 fee to Kofinas, a $1,100 facility fee to Manhattan Reproductive Surgery Center and a separate $400 for Albumin IV for Hyperstimulation. I am still waiting on that to be submitted to my insurance company to hopefully be reimbursed
How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Similar to my last response, Dr. Harry always treated me with great respect and care. He is extremely personable, kind and genuine. I feel that he actually cares about me as a human being and not just another name on his list of patients any given day.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
To not think twice because he's a man. I feel like a lot of women can get uncomfortable with a man in this field, but in no way shape or form did I ever even think twice about the fact that I was seeing a male doctor for this. He made me feel just as comfortable as any female doctor could have.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Harry always treated me with great respect and care and was extremely personable, friendly, helpful and kind. There is a genuineness that comes off from him and he made me feel entirely comfortable throughout the process. Always responded to me quickly and took initiative in helping me to understand any questions or concerns I may have had.
Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Unfortunately Dr. Harry was OOO during my monitoring period before my retrieval, so he wasn't the one administering the visits/treatment plans while I was doing the hormones leading up to retrieval. I did sense a small bit of disappointment after my retrieval in that he had hoped my retrieval numbers would have been slightly higher but that he didn't do my monitoring so he didn't know if there was a reason why I didn't get the 20-25 number he had hoped for. After hearing that, I had wished he had done my monitoring so as to see if I would have gotten different results.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kofinas Fertility Group.
There was one nurse that I was particularly fond of and I hate that I can't remember her name right now. Black girl with braids that I saw back in 2021 when I first started and again during some of my visits in 2022. I felt like she remembered me personally the most and she was also the most gentle. The last nurse I saw on 4/7 post retrieval was my worst interaction because she had a hard time with the blood draw and made it quite uncomfortable and had to use both of my arms. That was my only less than stellar encounter - otherwise all nurses were extremely kind, gentle and helpful.
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
Everyone at Kofinas, including the girls who work the front desk, is extremely helpful and friendly. I always felt comfortable, the spaces are all very clean and orderly and it's very impressive what they achieve on a daily basis given the sheer volume of patients that utilize them.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Kofinas Fertility Group.
Monitoring was extremely convenient. The only thing I wish that could have been different was that I wish Dr Harry was in the office during that time. Unfortunately with the way the scheduling worked out and my cycle, he was OOO and I think I would have felt a bit more confident about the entire thing had he been able to see me through start to finish.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I paid a $35 copay every single time I visited the clinic. I paid $275 to Freedom Care Fertility Pharmacy for my injectable hormones. For my retrieval, I paid a $2,700 fee to Kofinas, a $1,100 facility fee to Manhattan Reproductive Surgery Center and a separate $400 for Albumin IV for Hyperstimulation. I am still waiting on that to be submitted to my insurance company to hopefully be reimbursed.

I felt like a number with Dr. Harry because he dismissed my concerns about a lump in my breast that I brought to his attention on two separate visits. Not only that, but I found his actions and words to be extremely unprofessional. Instead of taking a pause from the treatment plan to ask me questions about the lump or perform a breast exam, we continued with 1 or 2 more failed IUI's...He did not inform me to make another appointment about it or even what kind of appointment I would need in order for him to look and give me additional information. It was not until my husband and I met with Dr. Harry for a fertility consultation that he performed a breast exam on my insistence and made a referral to a radiologist. From the time I brought the lump to Dr. Harry's attention to the time he performed a breast exam, my breast had gone through significant changes (inflamed skin; inverted nipple) which was later diagnosed as Stage 3 Breast Cancer,
The nursing staff [at Kofinas Fertility Group] were professional, caring, and helpful...The clinic failed to bill my insurance for covered injections costing me money out of pocket and time spent trying to get reimbursed from my insurance provider. The clinic kept reassuring me that my insurance covered the costs of IVF and failed to disclose the out of pocket facility fee ($5100) until I was already a patient, but I ultimately did not complete an IVF cycle with them. My insurance copay was $50 per monitoring visit because it was performed by a doctor.
How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I was under the care of Dr. C (Dr. Harry) while my doctor was out on leave. He performed multiple monitoring appointments several times a week. During one of them, I informed about a lump that had formed in my breast. Without looking at my breast or asking any further questions, he replied, "Breasts are lumpy and it was probably nothing bad." On a second occasion, I brought the lump to his attention again stating that it was still there and his response was that he could look at my breast but did not have the time. He did not inform me to make another appointment about it or even what kind of appointment I would need in order for him to look and give me additional information. It was not until my husband and I met with Dr. Harry for a fertility consultation that he performed a breast exam on my insistence and made a referral to a radiologist. From the time I brought the lump to Dr. Harry's attention to the time he performed a breast exam, my breast had gone through significant changes (inflamed skin; inverted nipple) which was later diagnosed as Stage 3 Breast Cancer, with inflammatory characteristics. If I had not continued to be insistent with Dr. Harry performing a breast exam and making a referral to a specialist, I doubt he would have ever re-visited it and the cancer could have spread even further. Since the skin became inflamed and the tumor was large, my oncologist recommended a very aggressive course of treatments (chemo, surgery, radiation, hormone meds). Because my tumor is estrogen and progesterone positive, part of my treatment has been to lower my hormone levels as it has been explained to me that these hormones feed my tumor. My intention for sharing this story is not to scare anyone seeking fertility treatments, but to highlight that there were opportunities for Dr. Harry to pause and gather more information before continuing with 1 or 2 more failed rounds of IUI - but he didn't, and as a result my treatment was delayed and my health was put at risk.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Find another fertility clinic.

Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.

Dr.Charalampos (Harry) Chatzicharalampous and Kofinas clinic was the doctor that was sent from heaven to help us make our dream come true. I still remember the night I was researching fertility treatment hospitals and Kofinas Fertility Group was the only one that caught my attention. Calling and making my first appointment and meeting Dr. Harry, lead me to believe that I was in the right place this time, but again I did not want to be disappointed. After all the tests that I had to undergo, for the first time, I was told that I had some minor issues that needed to be treated first. I was a bit worried, but from the receptionist to the doctors, I was made comfortable and safe. Dr. Harry took the time to explain every step that we were taking. He was always answering our questions in a great manner and never made us feel like our questions were crazy or made no sense. After only two (2) months of treatment at Kofinas Fertility Group; on June 28th I received a phone call that I will never forget from Dr. Harry telling me that my blood work result is in and that I was pregnant. This forever changed my life for the better. Wednesday, February 16th of 2022, I gave birth to my beautiful, blessing son. I never stop thanking God or smiling. Thank you Kofinas Fertility Group family. Thank you, Dr. Harry. I can personally say that I would continue recommending this hospital/clinic to any individual or couple trying to conceive. Back to the question was I treated like a number or a human. You the reader, what are your thoughts. As for me, I was not only treated like the human I am, but they also added respect, dignity, and love. Thank you,

How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr C. is the best! We worked with Dr Chatzicharalampous and the Kofinas team for a little over a year and could not be happier with our experience. Every trip to the office and each interaction with Dr C and the team was professional, personal, and supportive. Fertility and IVF are stressful under even the best of circumstances and I can't imagine having worked with anyone else. From minute one we knew Dr. C was in it with us and deeply cared about helping create our family. He always took the time to explain every detail and answer our unending questions. At no point did we feel like just another patient, overlooked or rushed. We even came up with our own in-house motto of "in Dr C. We Trust!" When he made a suggestion or recommendation it was so comforting to be absolutely confident that his way was truly what was best for us and our specific situation. When we are ready to grow our family in a few years we look forward to going back to Kofinas and being greeted by a friend who will successfully guide us on the next step in our journey.

This doctor [Dr. Charalampos Chatzicharalampous] really cares about his patients. He is reachable outside of his office and answers all your questions. He is friendly and very down to earth. Very professional! I think he was God sent and I am thankful he was able to help me. After visiting 4 different fertility doctors I finally found someone who was able to tell me why I was not able to have kids. Dr. C found the root of my problem and recommended a surgery that led to a successful IVF.

Dr C [Chatzicharalampous] was always very open to answer any questions I had and was very responsive to all communications...very honest on his opinion regarding treatment/process (but ultimately allowed me to make the decisions that I felt were best). He had a very positive but realistic attitude...Make sure you are able to be proactive with questions. You may not get everything you need up front but he is more than willing to address any questions/concerns...
Nurses [at Kofinas Fertility Group] were always very nice & i appreciated getting the update calls...for the most part I didnt have issues but there were a number of instances where morning monitoring took 2 hrs (which is challenging when you work full time) - Billing; ended up getting everything figured out but billing was confusing at times...Multiple facilities; I went to both the Bklyn & Lower Manhattan Location...
How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr C was great -- he was prompt at follow-ing up with question (either in person or via email) and also very honest on his opinion regarding treatment/process (but ultimately allowed me to make the decisions that I felt were best). He had a very positive but realistic attitude, which is helpful when youre going through something that has no guarantees.

Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
Strengths: - Seeing a doctor during monitoring; in my prior clinic all i saw were techs who were unable to answer questions (I felt very much in the dark on progress & through 3 IUI cycles I spoke with my doctor maybe 3 times total, which includes the initial consult) - Multiple facilities; I went to both the Bklyn & Lower Manhattan Location Weaknesses - Wait Times; for the most part I didnt have issues but there were a number of instances where morning monitoring took 2 hrs (which is challenging when you work full time) - Billing; ended up getting everything figured out but billing was confusing at times (between what my SOB says vs what i actually had to pay); not sure if this was due to the fact that my company offers Progyny fertility coverage so that made billing more complicated
What specific things went wrong at Kofinas Fertility Group?

He [Dr. Chatzicharalampous] was very detailed when explaining each step of the process, what our different options were and his recommendations to achieve our preferred outcome - which was to get pregnant as soon as possible.

The staff at Kofinas is second to none! They are kind, compassionate and wonderful to work with...Every nurse or doctor I worked with was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and made me feel safe / comfortable.

Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
With my secondary infertility being unexplained, we did several tests to try and figure out what was going on, but never really landed on a clear explanation. We did two rounds of IUI, with the understanding that the odds of conception were low. After two unsuccessful inseminations, we decided to move quickly to IVF. We had a successful egg retrieval and our first transfer took. I am currently 8 months pregnant and expecting a baby boy in November!

Dr. C [Dr. Chatzicharalampous] made me feel comfortable in every step I took. He gave me information I needed in order to make decisions and make the process - even though most times out of ones control feel like I decided every step. He always answered my emails super timely and always made time to see me if there was an issue. He knew my medical info without making me wait to pull it up...
The nursing staff [at Kofinas Fertility Group] & Dr. C are wonderful. I have nothing bad to say about them. The front desk is always helpful and kind. Kofinas’ weakness lies within their admin staff - finance specifically. It seems theyre understaffed and it is hard to speak to someone...3 iui cycles including appointments and medicine cost about $3,000 1 fet cycle cost about $5k...
How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I never once felt uncomfortable with a decision or appointment with Dr.C. He is the best doctor - not only because I’m now pregnant but because I trusted him - down to begging him to deliver my baby due in January because I really didn’t want to leave! I would recommend Dr.C to anyone needing fertility treatment - he always followed up with facts and his professional opinion on things, always answered emails timely, and always was friendly and made the appointments easy - even the hard ones.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Listen to what he says because he knows his stuff!!! I may have been a more difficult and defiant patient - again not the biggest fan of medicine but everything Dr.C told me to do, I did and it resulted in a positive pregnancy!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. C is downright amazing. I am a skeptic when it comes to medicine because I don’t like taking it and frankly sometimes I think I know more - from Google not because I have a medical degree but Dr. C made me feel comfortable in every step I took. He gave me information I needed in order to make decisions and make the process - even though most times out of ones control feel like I decided every step. He always answered my emails super timely and always made time to see me if there was an issue. He knew my medical info without making me wait to pull it up and remembers my weekend plans!
Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Iui #1 - 1 day because I only had 1 decent follicle and Dr.C did not want to waste donor sperm on a cycle that was likely to be unsuccessful. 2.5 mg letrozole Iui #2 - 2 days Bc I had 1 good follicle. 5 mg letrozole Iui #3 - 1 day even though I had 2 good follicles but this was my choice. Possible 10 mg chlomid 1st FET cycle was successful - 2mg Estradiol 4x a day, 40mg lovenox 4x a day, viagra before cycle 2x a day, progesterone oil up until 10 weeks & progesterone suppositories 3x a day up until 10 weeks
Describe your experience with your nurse at Kofinas Fertility Group. (Assigned nurse: Kristine Gruper)
Kristine’s last day as Kofinas was the day I got to see my baby for the first time on a sonogram and she was so happy she had tears in her eyes. Saying by to her was so hard because you truly build a bond with the staff. The current staff is amazing, always so kind and welcoming.

Dr. C. was a wonderful doctor. We worked with him through three IUIs and after that didn't work he asked if I still wanted to get pregnant because he thought that IVF would be a great option. He was right and our first time worked perfectly...Trust what he says. He really knows what he is doing...Our doctor recommended only transferring one embryo since it was our first time and I'm only 34 years old. He explained that there are so many risks to multiple births that it isn't worth it.
Dr. C and his whole [Kofinas Fertility Group] staff were on a first name basis with me. It is like a big family practice where everyone is super friendly and helpful. We had a lot of visits and really got to know one another...The nurses were FABULOUS! I was scared of getting my blood taken and they made it SO painless and fast. They were always on top of my paperwork, meds, prescriptions, and overall care. They truly made me feel comfortable and safe.

Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
We first did a surgery to remove some cysts. Then we did 3 IUIs which were unsuccessful. I ended up producing quite a few eggs each time but it never took with the sperm and the timing of everything. We did a consult for IVF and started right away. All of the hormones and treatments were extremely effective and we are now ten weeks pregnant with our first child.

The nurses were FABULOUS! I was scared of getting my blood taken and they made it SO painless and fast. They were always on top of my paperwork, meds, prescriptions, and overall care. They truly made me feel comfortable and safe. They always answered my questions, picked up the phone if I called, and were there to fully support and cheer me on in this process.
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
You can do everything with Kofinas. It's a one stop shop. Their facilities are clean, professional, and you don't need to go looking for other services. It's all in house. They walk you through everything step-by-step and are always there to help in person or over the phone.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Kofinas Fertility Group.
Monitoring is every day at every location between 7-9am. As a teacher I could get there early but I would still often be late for work. Thankfully my supervisors understood. Sometimes you'd be in and out super fast but if there were a lot of women there it would take longer. Honestly though this is the best method because there is no way to know how long each person will take so it's first come first served. Just bring a book and relax in case there are a lot of people and sometimes you're in and out very quick. There's no way to predict because every woman is on a different monitoring schedule.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I don't even want to look this up. I have a very thick folder full of receipts. Our insurance covered some things. Each visit with any type of monitoring was $50. Anytime I went just for bloodwork it was $30. Our insurance didn't pay for genetic testing which was $5,000. Our insurance also didn't pay for facility fees which were a few hundred dollars. There was a lot more that added up than we thought. For example, some meds we needed were not covered by insurance but I'm glad we paid for them out of pocket because it resulted in a pregnancy.

Our doctor recommended only transferring one embryo since it was our first time and I'm only 34 years old. He explained that there are so many risks to multiple births that it isn't worth it.

How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Charalampos Chatzicharalampous is the best fertility doctor I have seen. From the first time I met him he put me at ease. He treats his patients as equals, listens attentively to concerns and works with you to your comfort level. The hardest part of IVF is the feeling that you have no control over the process and it is quite an intense protocol. Dr. C was always willing to work with me if I felt I was having adverse effects to certain parts of the protocol, and he would encourage me by making me understand why certain aspects are imperative to success. As a result, I felt increasingly like I was in control of the process with him and it became less daunting over time. He has a great sense of humor that immediately endears him to his patients and is very important when talking about fertility! When my first round of FET didn't take, I felt he was just as baffled as I was when relaying the news. Indeed I felt completely in it with him the entire time. His direct but compassionate approach was exactly what I was looking for in a fertility doctor and I would recommend him to anyone considering fertility treatments.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Feel free to bring up any concerns and/or questions you may have. If you find a study that shows conflicting results from the protocol at Kofinas, show it to him; he will look into it!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Chatzicharalampous is the best! He always made me feel comfortable and as if my concerns were heard; if I found a contradictory study he would research it and explain why it either was or was not valid. He treated me as an equal and brought a sense of humor to an experience that can be at times overwhelming and stressful.
Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Honestly at this point I have forgotten the specifics of protocol. I know it started with estradiol, then added progesterone injections, along with extensive supplements and closer to the procedure there were a few days of prednisone.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kofinas Fertility Group.
They were the best at locating a vein on the first try! When you are getting blood drawn every other day this is a big concern. They were lovely and efficient.
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
Kofinas in general is known as a more intense clinic than some of the others comparatively with regards to protocol. For example, some clinics will recommend progesterone shots or suppositories. Kofinas recommends both. However, their track record explains why. At 44, I became pregnant with the second transfer using my 37 year old eggs. Also, I would argue they are more affordable than some of the bigger places (RMA, Cornell) where you feel like a number. I never felt like a number at Kofinas. I felt as if all the doctors sincerely wanted me to succeed.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group.
It's different for everyone depending on which insurance provider you have but procedures became less expensive each time, every Dr visit had a $90 co-pay and you could return drugs (for freezing) and get money back- they were always willing to look for the cheapest option for you. I did one round of freezing, two hysteroscopies, 2 IUIs, 2 FETs, and I believe over that time span of 8 years I spent under $30,000 total.
Describe Charalampos Chatzicharalampous's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Kofinas Fertility Group.
The thinking at Kofinas was that if it is a tested 5 day embryo, then only one would be transferred. If it was a 3day embryo which can not be tested then they would transfer more than one.

Dr. C [Dr. Chatzicharalampous] was very warm and pleasant throughout the process. He always cared about how I felt during the stimulation and was the one who personally took care of every single detail, from the medication to the egg retrieval to the recovery to the final call for the eggs frozen...He is very professional but also very personable. His knowledge base is very broad and will answer any questions you may have, citing scientific evidence. He is optimistic and makes you feel very safe and offers exceptional care...
Kofinas Fertility is a very good clinic, staff is very nice and the Brooklyn Center is brand new and easily accessible. I wish the finance department was a bit more organized. There is some miscommunication that may cause some delays. All the nursing staff and MAs were great...Mondays and Fridays are really busy! May wait for an hour or more. Other days are ok, you are seen within 20-30 minutes...
How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
From the first appointment I could tell that Dr. C was the right doctor for me. He is very professional but also very personable. His knowledge base is very broad and will answer any questions you may have, citing scientific evidence. He is optimistic and makes you feel very safe and offers exceptional care. He will go above and beyond! I trusted every decision he made and I was not wrong! My friends who did egg freezing at other clinics had a much lower number of eggs, even with similar AMHs. He managed my hyperstimulation extremely well and I was feeling great within 3 days after the retrieval. I am definitely coming back to see him if I need to use my frozen eggs.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Trust him 100%. He will find a way to make it work!

Describe the protocols Charalampos Chatzicharalampous used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Antagonist protocol, 150 gonal then 225 menopur. I have PCOS so the doses were not very high. I had 40 eggs retrieved, 26 were frozen.

dr. C was extremely professional and knowledgeable about what he was doing. He’s very patient with me and always happy to explain any and all questions without feeling like it’s a burden. I’ve noticed he’s always been kind to his staff / all the nurses. I liked he was always positive yet realistic with me...Was very responsive to any concern, kind and patient with me
Overall great caring doctors and nurses [at Kofinas Fertility Group] who give great comfort in what could be a scary process. I think what could be beneficial is just letting patients know what else could be helpful other than supplements to boost fertility going into a cycle...Nurses are awesome. They always explained everything thoroughly, never rushed me, super compassionate and made me feel comfortable at kofinas
How was your experience with Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I never see male doctors because I usually feel uncomfortable but dr. C was extremely professional and knowledgeable about what he was doing. He’s very patient with me and always happy to explain any and all questions without feeling like it’s a burden. I’ve noticed he’s always been kind to his staff / all the nurses. I liked he was always positive yet realistic with me
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Charalampos Chatzicharalampous at Kofinas Fertility Group?
My most productive cycles came from a lot of independent research on eating healthy, staying stress free, using products on my body with less harsh chemicals vs. just supplements. I think that making that information a bit more known to other women, whether by nurses, doctors or a write up when starting might be helpful. This could have also been an experience unique to me but I did see noticeable results.
