Dr. JK [Jason Kofinas] wanted to cross every t and dot every i, which was VERY different than the clinic I had been to previously. He wanted to figure out why my numbers were not ideal for my age...He does all that he can to make sure that he is the one that is doing your monitoring. If he is unable to do your retrieval, he will call the doctor that is doing the retrieval to make sure that everything has been discussed and covered...Dr. JK creates a unique plan for you...
The nurses [at Kofinas Fertility Group] are AMAZING...They are SO incredibly warm, friendly, compassionate, kind, you name it. They made the early mornings much more tolerable...The monitoring appointments were never more than an hour. Some days it would be very quick and other days it will be an hour from walking in to walking out. They provide wifi which allows for you to do work while you wait...
How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Jason is truly the absolute best. He does all that he can to make sure that he is the one that is doing your monitoring. If he is unable to do your retrieval, he will call the doctor that is doing the retrieval to make sure that everything has been discussed and covered. He is BRILLIANT. I had my first appointment with him in April in 2022 after having been at a difference facility. I assumed I would do a retrieval the following month. I was very wrong, but so happy I was wrong. Dr. JK wanted to cross every t and dot every i, which was VERY different than the clinic I had been to previously. He wanted to figure out why my numbers were not ideal for my age. I knew then that I had found the right doctor. He ended up recommending that we do a laparoscopy because he suspected endo and he was right. I am truly so thankful that I came across Dr. JK and know that when I choose to start a family, I will be in the best care.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Ask questions. He is so smart and really explains things to you in a sophisticated data based, but easy to understand way. He's your partner in this, so communicate with him. I never once felt that I couldn't express my thoughts, feelings, opinions, or ask him questions. He is on your team and will do all he can to ensure success.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Not once did I ever feel like a number. Dr. JK and I had a conversation in April of 2022 and during monitoring in October of 2022 he referenced something from that conversation. Some days, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast, but he is so invested in his patients that he remembers and retains every small detail about them.
Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Dr. JK creates a unique plan for you. I primed with all of my cycles, and did clomid for 5 days. I also used follistim, and menopur. I won't include the dosages because the protocol was truly customized to how my body was responding based on bloodwork and ultrasounds. We started with both follistim and menopur, then moved to just menopur, and towards the end of the cycle added a small dosage of follistim. This was not the same for each retrieval as my body responded differently with each one.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kofinas Fertility Group.
The nurses are AMAZING. I love each and every one of them. They are also a reflection of how great Dr. JK is. They are SO incredibly warm, friendly, compassionate, kind, you name it. They made the early mornings much more tolerable! I am so thankful to have found a fertility group where the entire staff is SO pleasant.
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kofinas Fertility Group. On the days that I didn't see Dr. Jason(and there weren't that many) I was alway greeted by a very kind doctor who introduced themselves, took their time, made sure to ask me if I had any questions, and also made sure to let me know that Dr. Kofinas would be reviewing the images and bloodwork and would call if he felt he needed to make any changes to the medication dosages. The receptions are all wonderful. The nurses are amazing. I cannot recommend it enough!!
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Kofinas Fertility Group.
The monitoring appointments were never more than an hour. Some days it would be very quick and other days it will be an hour from walking in to walking out. They provide wifi which allows for you to do work while you wait. I appreciated that very much and it made my work day run smoother.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group.
My insurance covered the medication, so I was only responsible for the retrieval which was 8k. I also paid 1,500 dollars for the anesthesia, but my insurance reimbursed me for that.

How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I have been a patient on and off since 2019 due to Covid. I came to Dr Kofinas after i turned 40. Dr. Kofinas and his team were really helpful and patient with me as I had ton of questions and concerns thoughout this whole uneasy process. Jason Kofinas was available to answer my questions and concerns even after hours and on weekends. I was always unsure if I can do this due to my age and worried about any little thing. Dr. Kofinas and his team literally held my hand throughout this whole process specifically when I contracted Covid during this process. I was a mess when this happen but Dr. Jason Kofinas calmed me down and assured me that everything will be ok. Today i am 44 and 11 weeks pregnant with my first child.

How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Kofinas is an incredible physician. Kofinas Fertility was such a different experience from my prior experience at a hospital-based facility, where I felt like just a number. The care at Kofinas was personalized. I always understood the course of action and next steps in my treatment, and always felt that Dr. Kofinas was doing everything possible to ensure a great outcome.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
The care you'll receive is incomparable.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Having been less-than-thrilled with the care at a large, NYC hospital-based fertility practice for egg freezing, I decided to switch over to Kofinas for another round of freezing and then IVF. IVF is a difficult process no matter where you do it, but I was so thrilled I made the switch and I am so grateful for the incredible care I received from the Kofinas team. Dr. Jason Kofinas is not only a brilliant physician, but the consummate caregiver with the ultimate bedside manner. Dr. Kofinas explained every aspect of the process, answered all of my questions (there were a lot!), and truly listened to my concerns.

For me, Kofinas Fertility was an entirely positive experience. IVF is grueling, but you really feel like you're getting top-notch care here, from the doctors to the nursing staff. The care is personalized, and I am so appreciative of the care I received. We'll absolutely be back for baby #2 in a couple of years!

How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
With Dr. Kofinas, there’s no heir of superiority, arrogance or a godlike complex like I’ve experienced with other doctors. He exudes calmness, peace and positivity during some of the most difficult times. He’s business when necessary but you can have a laugh with him. He’s funny and makes you feel so comfortable. There could be 20 girls waiting for their monitoring appointment and he’ll still take the time to answer ALL of my questions (both reasonable and ridiculous). I could email me at anytime of the day and always received a response within 24 hours. He always made every attempt to work around my job (I’m a teacher) when scheduling procedures or appointments. Other than being the best at what he does, he made us feel like he was in our corner, cheering us on every step of the way.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Listen to what he says and trusts his process.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
When we first met Dr. Kofinas, my husband and I had just experienced a failed donor egg transfer from a previous doctor. We were absolutely devastated. It was the lowest point of our 3 year fertility journey. We both felt like we were running out of time, money and hope. When we met with Dr. Kofinas, I didn’t know what to expect. Part of me wasn’t expecting much because I’ve come to learn that IVF isn’t a guarantee. It’s a chance for a family. The other part of me was hoping he could make miracles happen. During our first meeting, he listened to our story, let me cry and get it all out without interrupting or rushing us out of his office. Dr. Kofinas explained in detail, how he treats patients, the process and the steps involved. When I left the appointment, I felt super informed. We had a plan and literally hit the ground running the next day.
Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
1. Progesterone Oil Injection: 1.5 cc IM every morning 2. Progesterone Suppository: 1 suppository 2 times per day 3. Lovenox 40mg prefilled syringe: 2x a day 4. Estradiol 2 mg tablet: 4x a day (3 oral and I vaginal) 5. Prednisone: 10 mg tablet 2x a day 6. Metformin: 750 mg XR tablet 2x a day 7. Weekly Intralipid infusions
Describe your experience with your nurse at Kofinas Fertility Group. (Assigned nurse: Haley Roche and Natalie Green )
Haley Roche Primary Nurse: smart, kind, compassionate, patient, loving, funny and gentle are the words that come to mind. One day I had a question about one of my medications. I called and she stayed on the phone with me for over an hour, explaining everything medication I’m taking, why I’m taking it, and what the next steps are. She was the calm to my storm. I’m overly anxious and worried, but I always knew I could email her with any thing and instantly I would be out to ease. During my last appointment, I sat in her office and cried my eyes out. I couldn’t put into words how much her level of care meant to my husband and I. She’s absolutely phenomenal at her job. Any patient that walks through the door is in the best of hands with Haley. Natalie Green Egg Donor Consultant: Before meeting Natalie and Dr. Kofinas, my husband and I spent 10 months and $40,000 using a 3rd party egg donor, only to end up with 0 viable embryos. Our former doctor provided us with no guidelines or support. It felt like a dirty and uncomfortable version of online dating. It was a complete waste of time, money and literally broke our hearts. During our first conversation with Natalie, she asked my husband and I to put together a “wish list” for our potential donor. It was such an incredible feeling to know that someone was helping us to find our perfect match. We weren’t looking through pages and pages of women or changing what we wanted so that we could find a suitable match. Within days, Natalie found us a match that checked off every box on our list. Natalie listened to what we wanted, explained the process and just kept reassuring us that we’re not alone and we’re going to find the perfect donor. The first time I saw a picture of our donor, it literally took my breath away. She was perfect in every way and I knew she was going to be the start of our family. Again, being overly anxious and scared I had so many concerns. Natalie just kept reassuring me that no matter, she’s got a PLAN B, we always have other choices and options and that our journey would continue until we were parents. That’s all I ever wanted to hear. That we still had a chance and that’s what Natalie gave us. We love her for that. .

Dr. Kofinas will give it to you straight about what’s possible for you and your body...He always gave me options. I never really felt like a doctor/patient relationship because it was more like a team of amazing specialists working together for one goal. My experience with Dr. Jason was amazing and I would recommend him and the facility to anyone who is interested in their services... As a patient I felt well cared for and valued. Dr. Jason was alway kind, patient and professional and compassionate. He was honest about expectations and focused on the best possible outcome for me and my situation.
I think the facility [Kofinas Fertility Group] is very modern. It’s welcoming and doesn’t feel cold and sterile. Often times I would be so relaxed I would rest my eyes while waiting for my exam. There’s good music in the waiting room, the artwork is unique and the equipment seems high tech. I was very pleased. There are a ton of assorted magazines to hold your interest but you won’t be waiting long enough to get through one articl

He is a very skilled professional who cares about his patients safety and well being through this emotional roller coaster ride. I felt completely safe in good hands the entire way.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I would tell a prospective client to relinquish your ideas about control. Dr. Kofinas will give it to you straight about what’s possible for you and your body just be open to trusting in him, the staff and the process.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I was always treated like a person with Dr. Jason and the entire staff. In fact, they feel more like extended family these days. He was always patient and kind and answered all of my questions on the phone, in person via email. Every step of the way he explained everything in a manner that was easy to comprehend. He always gave me options. I never really felt like a doctor/patient relationship because it was more like a team of amazing specialists working together for one goal. My experience with Dr. Jason was amazing and I would recommend him and the facility to anyone who is interested in their services.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kofinas Fertility Group.
The nursing staff was wonderful!They each knew my name and were friendly. We often times chatted about other things and it really helped to lighten things up. They were always helpful and professional and most important kind.
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
I think the facility is very modern. It’s welcoming and doesn’t feel cold and sterile. Often times I would be so relaxed I would rest my eyes while waiting for my exam. There’s good music in the waiting room, the artwork is unique and the equipment seems high tech. I was very pleased. There are a ton of assorted magazines to hold your interest but you won’t be waiting long enough to get through one article.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I don’t recall the specific break down of most but I think PGS testing $5,000 retrieval $3500 storage

He [Dr. Jason Kofinas] was friendly and was very open to working around our insurance difficulties...He worked with us around dietary and behavior changes to increase sperm count, and provided me with the testing I needed to see if the fertility issues we had could be explained...responsive to our questions, good treatment but went 3 times and only got some of the more pressing information later on...
They [Kofinas Fertility Group] advertise as LGBTQ friendly, and I think everyone there is nice, but they weren't really prepared to work with a trans couple.

How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Jason was referred to working with us after we were with a different clinician who wasn't knowledgeable about trans issues. He was friendly and was very open to working around our insurance difficulties. The office was open to working with us and addressing some of the gender essentializing forms, but we were definitely having to do a lot of work to explain what we needed.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Jason is very nice and was helpful, my advice would be to make sure immediately that you are connected to a trans informed provider, as everyone there was 'nice' but our first provider said a lot of things that made it difficult to build trust

In my initial consult [with Dr. Kofinas], I felt shamed for my social lifestyle (which seemed to be compared to older women who are actively pursuing pregnancy). After only 3 minutes of describing my menstrual cycle, the Dr. said in passing that "you probably have a fibroid, a uterine cyst or endometriosis" without looking up from his notepad...the bluntness and leading nature of the Dr. was an extremely negative experience for me that weighed heavily on me until I was able to seek a second opinion...

How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I am a young patient (30) looking into egg preservation to learn more. In my initial consult, I felt shamed for my social lifestyle (which seemed to be compared to older women who are actively pursuing pregnancy). I felt like I was being reprimanded for most of the initial questioning. After only 3 minutes of describing my menstrual cycle, the Dr. said in passing that "you probably have a fibroid, a uterine cyst or endometriosis" without looking up from his notepad. The possibility of the first two were eliminated during my ultrasound, which was extremely painful and my wincing in pain was met with blasé 'oh that's probably the endometriosis" as he continued to lean into my ovary without letting up. At my next consult, the results of my ultrasound and bloodwork were given to me in a misleading way that implied I would be 'wise' to proceed with the procedure now, often using phrases like "I would have liked to see X for someone your age, you have Y." The whole experience was quite traumatizing for me, and weighed heavily on me until I was able to seek a second opinion which has very much alleviated the pressure put on me by the initial experience.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
There are differing opinions regarding women's experience with menstruation and fertility. I had more luck with a female doctor who seemed to understand my experience significantly better and found intake much easier.

I spent nearly 3 years with Dr Kofinas dealing with unexplained infertility and cannot thank him enough for never giving up on my case...he was so compassionate and direct, taking the time to explain the plan and when setbacks occurred, providing rationale and alternate plans. I felt like we were on a team and he was as committed as I was to getting me pregnant. I was able to see him each visit and he was always available via email...
The staff [at Kofinas Fertility Group] was very friendly and available via messaging system. Sometimes unfortunately it resulted in a game of telephone to reach them but they were always attentive and helpful, however at this practice I was doing my main communication with the doctor directly - which I loved...The facilities are immaculate and I appreciated that there were multiple locations in the city and there was a surgical center on-site instead of going to a separate hospital...
How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I spent nearly 3 years with Dr Kofinas dealing with unexplained infertility and cannot thank him enough for never giving up on my case- I am now happily celebrating 1 month with my miracle baby. I loved that he was so compassionate and direct, taking the time to explain the plan and when setbacks occurred, providing rationale and alternate plans. I felt like we were on a team and he was as committed as I was to getting me pregnant. I was able to see him each visit and he was always available via email - which I know doesn’t happen at most practices.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Trust him! but of course do your own research so you can ask informed questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I had a difficult case and never felt like a number - Dr Kofinas always provided an individualized plan- doing extra research to figure out the best solutions. He is extremely caring and takes the time to explain everything and answer any questions - he is also always available via email and responds extremely quickly. I always felt extremely comfortable with him and never intimated or that he was trying to push me into a procedure without trying the least invasive option first - which is not always common in the fertility world!
Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
I liked that he tried the least invasive options first but also tried to get to the root of the issue before going further, like removal of fibroids in my case. With my recurrent losses and after having to resort to a second IVF cycle due to a chemical pregnancy, he also really individualized my plan to include even experimental procedures like intralipids — and it worked!

The only thing to know is that morning monitoring hours can be very long at times - it’s a popular place and morning hours are first come first serve, so just keep that in mind.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Kofinas Fertility Group.
Morning monitoring hours were first come first serve and sometimes the waits were extremely long. It was different each day and hard to predict. But I did like that each time I still was able to see my doctor specifically
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I was very lucky to have Progyny insurance through work which covered a majority of my procedures so I cannot speak to specific costs if you have no coverage. However I do advise shopping around for meds instead of buying direct from the facility - the nurses can even give you some suggestions of where to look.

He [Dr. Kofinas] made me feel really comfortable, and reassured me throughout my treatments. He took the time to explain everything in detail, so I would understand the process...After the third failed IUI, I trusted him to do a laparoscopic procedure to rope out endometriosis. I ended up having endometriosis and he treated the areas affected. I was pregnant on my next IUI cycle...He never made me feel like I was a number and tried everything before I had to consider going down the IVF route...
This clinic [Kofinas Fertility Group] has amazing staff that is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. They are very reassuring and lifted me up whenever I felt down.

How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Kofinas is extremely knowledgeable. He was spot on with everything he told me throughout my fertility journey.

Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Dr Kofinas suspected I had endometriosis so I underwent laparoscopic surgery which revealed I did have it and a blocked fallopian tube m. I then started my first iui with one ovary stimulating medication. When it failed we changed to another stimulating medication. When this cycle failed, we increased the dosage of the ovary stimulating medication. This cycle was successful but I miscarried at around 7 weeks. We did a d and c and found I miscarried a healthy embryo. We then switched to ivf. We did one egg retrieval cycle that was successful, yielding 36 eggs, 19 embryos and 11 healthy embryos. We also looked at my nk cells and found they were high. For my transfer, I was placed on prednisone and weekly intralipid infusions to deal with my overactive immune response. I also took neurogenic, estrogen, and progesterone. This one transfer was successful.

Describe Jason Kofinas's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I agreed with my doctors preference to transfer one embryo, as he felt I had a high chance of success and transferring more than one embryo could lead to complications that would not be necessary.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?

The care was very personal. The doctors and nurses remembered you by name and we’re always responsive to questions or issues. Dr. Jason Kofinas would respond to all emails no matter the time of day and always went out of his way to make me comfortable.
Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Due to my medical history and previous birth control prescriptions, he deduced I had PCOS. After some preliminary testing he also diagnosed me with endometriosis. I had quite advanced endometriosis which was discovered when he performed a laparoscopic surgery to remove it as well as some uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. We then went through 2 retrieval cycles. The first yielded one PGS tested embryo, the second yielded 3. After retrieval cycles we did a mock transfer or ERA to make sure that the timing of the actual transfer would be correct. This determines the best time to transfer the embryo in the future. Once that was confirmed we were able to time the transfer properly and it was a success.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kofinas Fertility Group.
There were always a lot of people at Kofinas and I appreciated that the nurses recognized me and were warm and conversational at every visit. They communicated well and were efficient at their jobs.
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
They’re going to be very busy. However, they’re very efficient and attentive. Get there early for monitoring hours because it’s first come, first serve. If you’re doing a transfer, make sure your partner checks in with reception as they get busy and timing is important. As always with any medical treatment, speak up and advocate for yourself is you have questions or need help.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Kofinas Fertility Group.
Monitoring is early in the am and first come, first serve. You needed to be there early but it went quickly as soon as it started.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I had very comprehensive insurance so was very lucky on my out of pocket costs. I did have to pay a $50 copay for visits and pay out of pocket for genetic testing.

appreciated his [Dr. Kofinas] honesty about realistic expectations. He does not try to woo you with grandiose promises of success. Rather he is more focused and ensuring your body is at optimal health for the egg retrieval and FET which can entail numerous tests/biopsies, meds, etc...he is available to patiently answer any of your questions and concerns. He takes the time to thoroughly explain everything to you and what the next steps will be. He also provides you with options you can consider. I also appreciated that he is also accessible by email. I've never really had a doctor offer that and it really is so helpful to have a doctor who actually responds back by the end of the day...
Plenty of nurses [at Kofinas Fertility Group] to help make appts go as quickly and smoothly as possible. Overall practice is a well run. I never had a problem with Dr. Kofinas or a nurse getting back to me via email or phone call...They tailor a specific plan for each individual's needs and body using the most up to date technology and treatment plans. Be prepared for mornings when they are swamped during morning monitor. Sometimes there can be a small wait but honestly it's not that long...
How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
During the consultation and f/u meetings he is available to patiently answer any of your questions and concerns. He takes the time to thoroughly explain everything to you and what the next steps will be. He also provides you with options you can consider. I also appreciated that he is also accessible by email. I've never really had a doctor offer that and it really is so helpful to have a doctor who actually responds back by the end of the day! You can email him for pretty much anything related to IVF and he almost always replied back by the end of the day. I also appreciated his honesty about realistic expectations. He does not try to woo you with grandiose promises of success. Rather he is more focused and ensuring your body is at optimal health for the egg retrieval and FET which can entail numerous tests/biopsies, meds, etc. It is very obvious he actually enjoys what he is doing, trying to help every individual/couple going through infertility issues. You can tell it is his passion and he will try everything he can to have a successful outcome. That in return provides hope and trust in the patient that they are receiving the very best fertility care that is available.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Be prepared and patient for a potentially long IVF journey. Dr. Kofinas ensures your body is at optimal health before even doing the egg retrieval and FET and that can mean stretching out into months before actually even doing any procedure. In my case I had uterine fibroid that need to be removed and then reoccurring bouts of endometritis that had to be treated before he even proceeded with the FET.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Kofinas has excellent bedside manners. Always came in with a smile and cheerful greeting even on the mornings when the office was swamped w/patients. He took the time to answer even the simplest questions. He even tries to have small talk with you despite having to see so many other patients. Always made me feel as if he was approachable.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kofinas Fertility Group.
Nurses tried their best to keep the steady flow of patients moving along during the morning monitoring. There was always a nurse ready to come in to draw your blood and afterwards answer any questions related to your plan. I also appreciated that they were also accessible by email and always called you back by the end of the day. It was difficult for them to call you back during the day but I always got a call back before the end of the day.
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
On the forefront using the most modern technology and available treatment plans for fertility concerns. Plenty of nurses to help make appts go as quickly and smoothly as possible. Overall practice is a well run. I never had a problem with Dr. Kofinas or a nurse getting back to me via email or phone call (nurse). There is reason why Kofinas Fertility is one of the top fertility practices not only in NYC but nationwide. They tailor a specific plan for each individual's needs and body using the most up to date technology and treatment plans. Be prepared for mornings when they are swamped during morning monitor. Sometimes there can be a small wait but honestly it's not that long. The longest I had to wait was at most 45 minutes and the time goes by quick bc their office offers complimentary wifi.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Kofinas Fertility Group.
Efficient well-oiled machine.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I had Progyny benefits so most of my fertility treatment was covered. Although at their Manhattan Reproductive Surgery Center where they perform all of their fertility related treatments and other gynecological procedures expect to pay an out-of-pocket $3,500 fee depending on whether or not your insurance is in network w/them. My insurance was not in network and I had to pay the fee anytime I had a procedure including removal of uterine fibroid.
Describe Jason Kofinas's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Kofinas Fertility Group.
He is opened to both although he would prefer eSET.

How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
I was having trouble getting pregnant naturally and wanted to make sure everything was ok with my body. I went with different opinions of doctors and finally decided to see Dr. Kofinos because I wanted to be seen by the best. When I initially met him he advised me to have laparoscopic surgery to make sure I didn't have endometriosis and I also had to remove a fibroid. I was sooooo nervous about having the surgery! But after he explained thoroughly about why it’s best to do it prior to any treatments, I felt extremely content and at ease. I booked appointment for the surgery and he was right, I had endometriosis. To my surprise, I got pregnant a month later. I was I’m utter shock!

Dr. Jason is very communicative and has a wonderful disposition. He neither sugarcoats nor fearmongers which I appreciated. The protocol for me was very drug-forward but you just have to TRUST THE PROCESS because he knows what he's doing. He and Dr. Montes did a laparoscopic myomectomy (before retrievals) which improved my quality of life (stage 4 endo, fibroids, cysts)...Dr Jason is very responsive via email (evenings especially) and it's easy to make an appointment for a discussion meeting which I did a few times. He made my husband and I feel comfortable about the procedures I was going through and the results from each retrieval...
Nurses [at Kofinas Fertility Group] were amazing, always called back by end of day to address any questions that I sent them. Helped with alternative intralipid providers in NYC...Very efficient take-in process, sometimes the waits were long...UWS Clinic ran monitoring very efficiently. I went to Fidi Clinic for some bloodwork and procedures via Manhattan Reproductive Surgery Center, both were also very efficient. The only area of improvement is more transparency around billing and insurance coverage...

Monitoring hours can be very crowded, so you only have a few minutes with your physician.

Dr Jason Kofinas was the only person who took our case and left no stone unturned to find out why we were having trouble carrying to term. He took the time to locate and treat any issues BEFORE proceeding with a customized IVF regimen. He wanted to make sure that my body was ready and prepared for the IVF process. His team of nurses were always welcoming and helpful. We never felt like we were just another patient or another case. We always felt like everyone there really wanted us to be successful...

Dr. Kofinas made our difficult journey through pregnancy more bearable. He was compassionate and understanding of my challenges and listened to our wishes so we felt active in the decision-making process for my care...I didn't feel pressured to go with IUI or IVF (my problem was staying pregnant vs. getting pregnant). All around he's a great doctor...recommended further testing (carrier screening, blood-clotting mutations, etc.) to rule out other issues. Afterwhich I was prescribed Metformin and quickly became pregnant again. He also put me on low-dose aspirin and Lovenox after my pregnancy was sustaining. At that point I was transferred to a regular OB. Nursing Staff
The billing was the only pain when working with this clinic [Kofinas Fertility Group]. They don't take my primary insurance (BCBS) but I have fertility insurance (Progyny) through work. That said because it was out of network I had to wait for reimbursement checks from my insurance and often had to then make payments to Kofinas over the phone or via mail. The billing dept often called when i was at work and unable to answer the phone so the payment process was a bit onerous.
How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Kofinas made our difficult journey through pregnancy more bearable. He was compassionate and understanding of my challenges and listened to our wishes so we felt active in the decision-making process for my care. We ended up not needing intervention to get pregnant but I didn't feel pressured to go with IUI or IVF (my problem was staying pregnant vs. getting pregnant). All around he's a great doctor.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Kofinas was very kind and patient. He took ample time with us to explain everything carefully and slowly and allowed me to ask any questions. He was very responsive via email when I would inevitably forget my questions!
Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
I first visited because I suspected I was not ovulating every cycle. Dr. Kofinas did a diagnostic workup and imaging and determined that I likely had endometriosis, PCOS and had a uterine polyp, all which could contribute to my abnormal cycles. After my first miscarriage I underwent surgery to remove the polyp and stage 2 endometriosis. I became pregnant again and had a second miscarriage. At this point Dr. Kofinas recommended further testing (carrier screening, blood-clotting mutations, etc.) to rule out other issues. Afterwhich I was prescribed Metformin and quickly became pregnant again. He also put me on low-dose aspirin and Lovenox after my pregnancy was sustaining. At that point I was transferred to a regular OB.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I particularly remember Neil and Michelle, they were so friendly and helpful and treated me like a person (everyone did, I just remember their names).
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
The office is very clean and has everything you'd need. My only slight complaint is that the exam rooms are a bit cramped (my husband often came with me and there wasn't much room for him to be in the room).

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Kofinas Fertility Group.
Just once, when I was waiting to start on Metformin there was an issue getting the order to my pharmacy so I had to call the Dr. on call to re-issue the order because I was about to travel for a week.

he [Dr. Jason Kofinas] made a thorough plan to eliminate the possibilities of my frequent losses. I really felt as if I was his only patient while knowing I was not. He’s paid close attention to all my monitorings, stims and transfers, and even called during his day off to adjust my meds to ensure I get the best quality eggs during stims. On my first transfer with Dr. K, we successfully got pregnant but sadly I had a miscarriage. He was so compassionate and caring for that loss.
Everyone [at Kofinas Fertility Group] was very caring and knew you by face and name. The nursing staff varied during monitoring, but they always made you feel comfortable. Mio and Lindsay were consistent nurses and they always knew my case. They were patient and answered questions if you needed. Justine is the front receptionist, she’s always so pleasant and as if she knows you already by the sound of your voice over the phone. She’s always willing to help and set up your appointments in seconds.
How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Kofinas is dedicated, compassionate, detailed, meticulous, and a problem solver. After 5 embryo transfer failures from my previous doctor and no answers as to the reasons why. I’ve consulted with a few doctors before meeting Dr. K. I provided them with my medical history and Dr. K immediately went to study them. From the results he made a thorough plan to eliminate the possibilities of my frequent losses. I really felt as if I was his only patient while knowing I was not. He’s paid close attention to all my monitorings, stims and transfers, and even called during his day off to adjust my meds to ensure I get the best quality eggs during stims. On my first transfer with Dr. K, we successfully got pregnant but sadly I had a miscarriage. He was so compassionate and caring for that loss. It was as if it was his loss too. He offered to console, speak to me during my grieving and offered resources like counselors. He had answers to all my questions and plan for the future. Fast forward today, we had our second transfer and we’re in our second trimester, after 3 years of IVF, including all the procedures, stims, transfers, modified protocols, emotional roller coasters, Dr. K figured me out! We are finally in our second trimester and expecting our first baby in Nov. My husband and I are so thankful to him. I really felt Dr. K was part of my journey every step of the way. As a his patient I believe he goes above and beyond for me. He took on the challenge of a once defeated woman longing for a child and helped her make her dream come true.

Dr. Kofinas will go above and beyond to make sure you are successful. Trust his methods.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Because he and his staff knew me by my first name and who I was whenever I came for a visit in the clinic. Whenever I make a call over the phone, I felt like his staff knew my name. I felt like the office made me feel I was their friend. This was important to me as my previous fertility clinic I felt like a number and as if I was in a factory.
Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Due to my RIF, prior to IVF stims and transfer, Dr. Kofinas, performed hysteroscopy. He suspected hydrosalpinx and it was confirmed from a prior hsg result which may have been the cause of prior failures. I went for a procedure to disconnect my tube and while under the same procedure Dr. K also removed some endometriosis, with consent. For Stim, protocol included menopur, gonal f, ganirelex, HCG. Embryos were icsi and pgs tested. For transfer, he performed an NK test resulted in elevated NK cells. He incorporated prednisone and intralipids infusion every week.

Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
Strengths- personable, professional, willingness to get answers, will go above and beyond for patients, provides solutions outside the standard of care. Modern in treating patients while not compromising data based medicine. Weakness, sometimes wait can be long for monitoring. The Pre and Post retrieval recovery at Brooklyn location should be more comfortable. For my husband, the collection rooms should also be more comfortable.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Kofinas Fertility Group.
You sign in and wait for your name to be called. Monitoring begins at 7am and is convenient for me before heading to the office
