CDC Success Rates
This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.
For more information please see our FAQs.
Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.

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.

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.
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...

From Maria at the front desk, who always remembers your name just by looking at your face to all the nurses who put me into rooms and drew my blood, they are the most competent, caring bunch I have ever encountered. They were encouraging, and compassionate and always put my mind at ease.
How was your experience with George Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
When I was diagnosed with fibroids and recommended to have surgery, I wanted to make sure that I found a doctor who was concerned with preserving my fertility. I went to see a doctor a Columbia and a doctor at NYU for opinions, both visits I felt like a number, visits were quick and I felt that I was being pushed out the door with more questions than answers. When I went to Kofinas fertility, I knew from the moment I stepped in the door that this was the place for me. The amazing Maria at the front desk, always has a smile on even at 6am in the morning and remembers patients names (no small feat!). Dr. George Kofinas took the time to sit with me and explain his plan for my surgery in great detail. He took extensive imaging and I was informed every step of the way. After having a successful fibroid surgery, I was encouraged to try and get pregnant naturally, even at my age of 39. After trying for a few months with no success, we went back to Kofinas Fertility where Dr. Brzechffa became our go-to doctor. I can't say enough great things about Dr. B. He is the most caring, sympathetic, kindest doctor I have ever met. (and I work for physicians!). During my course, I was also seen by Dr. Narine and Dr. Montes, two amazing doctors who always took the time to answer my never ending questions with patience. I never, ever felt that they didn't have my best interests in mind. Thanks to Kofinas Fertility I have a gorgeous 20-month old son and there are no adequate words to express my thanks to them. We are currently back with them going for number 2 and we wouldn't put our trust with our journey to parenthood with anyone else!

Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
I went to see them when they had their Brooklyn Office which was based out of NY Methodist Hospital and my experience there was great except for trying to park my car every time I went without having to pay the hospital garage fees. Now they have moved their office to lower Manhattan which is easily accessible by subway. I also see Dr. B at their Staten Island Office which has parking and is easy to get to from where I live in Brooklyn. The offices are extremely clean, modern, and their technology is advanced.

Describe the costs associated with your care under George Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group.
My insurance did not cover the IVF process. I was covered for 2 rounds of IUI which I did, and the office visits with a copay. But between sonograms, medications and the IVF process I paid a lot out of my pocket.
Describe George Kofinas's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I had 2 healthy embryos ready for transfer. I asked that they both be transferred but Dr. Kofinas took into account my being overweight, my age at the time (41), and my diagnosis of Hashimoto's hypothyroid and encouraged me to do a single embryo transfer. He put everything into consideration and did the best he could to ensure a successful pregnancy.
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.

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.

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.

Strengths- personable, professional, willingness to get answers, will go above and beyond for patients, provides solutions outside the standard of care.

He also treated me with Lovenox to prevent blood clotting which I think was helpful when I developed a Sub Chorionic Hematoma in my pregnancy.
After my chemical pregnancy, he treated me for NK Cells with Steroids and Intralipid infusions - which is a controversial practice. I like that he was willing to take risks when we didn't know what the reason for the chemical pregnancy was.

What specific things went wrong at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Failed to call in prescriptions to pharmacy
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I've had a few times the clinic called my old pharmacy.
Dr. Jason immediately addressed my uterine environment and the presence of endometriosis and adenomyosis. Other doctors mentioned I may have had them, but never did anything about it. They continued to have me go through transfers knowing these conditions would negatively affect outcomes. I was finally pain free after my surgery a year and a half ago. Dr Jason made sure the uterine cavity was in its best condition before proceeding to transfers. I am forever grateful to him for healing me and ultimately getting me pregnant.
This clinic takes a different approach than other clinics in that they address all underlying issues before going straight to retrievals and transfers. You feel they care and it’s not about the money.

Depending on the protocols and whether something else is required for implantation, trust Dr. Kofinas. The thoroughness is worth it.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Kofinas is extremely knowledgeable and was confident about the approach he wanted to take with my case. He was thorough in his approach to ensuring my body was ready and made me feel comfortable through every step of the way. I felt like every step of the journey was well thought out.
Different from the other clinic that was a team of doctors, while the Kofinas Group is also a team of doctors, I was really seeing Dr. Jason Kofinas for all of my checkups, followups, etc. The IVF journey is hard enough and while i respect the efficiency of other clinics, i really felt like being seen by my primary doctor every step of the way really made a difference in my mental state.
His team was incredibly courteous, made me feel understood, and very accessible. The PA is absolutely incredible. My biopsies were painless. The surgical staff treated me so kindly during pre-op, post-op. I really liked reviewing my protocols with the nurses right after seeing Dr. Jason Kofinas (and the subsequent emails I would receive). I also loved that no question was off limits.
Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
Given my endometriosis diagnosis and adenomyosis, he recommended surgery before another implantation. The surgery was successful in that both diagnosis were validated and he was able to remove fibroids. I really thought his post-op was incredibly thorough in that he reviewed the uterine cavity again, and conducted an IVF mock trial before proceeding with the transfer. I was impressed with the medical protocol for the transfer and adjacent therapies to help my immune system. I really enjoyed the transfer experience itself. It was very smooth and i loved the picture of the embryo.

Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
The facilities were state of the art, spotless, and oddly calming. The staff was always courteous and accessible for any questions / concerns I had. When I needed to make any changes, they were easy to connect to.
Dr. Kofinas was very friendly and a great communicator. I saw him personally at all of my monitoring appointments...treatment felt specialized for me and my specific needs, not like a one-size fits all shot in the dark...I have MS...We did: a mock transfer/ERA, PRP, PGT-A We used: a brief course of neupogen, steroids, Lovenox
The whole staff [at Kofinas Fertility Group] is wonderful. However, new patients might want to know that at least one of my surgical procedures was not performed by my primary doctor...Truly, all of the nurses I worked with were fantastic. The two primary nurses on my case - Tierney and Juany- were friendly, communicative and organized.
How was your experience with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
Dr. Kofinas was very friendly and a great communicator. I saw him personally at all of my monitoring appointments - he performed all of my ultrasounds and was sure to answer any questions I had. I really felt like he gave me the BEST possible care. My treatment felt specialized for me and my specific needs, not like a one-size fits all shot in the dark. I would- and have- recommended Dr Kofinas to anyone.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
By all means ask questions, but you can absolutely trust Dr Kofinas to make the best decisions based on the information he has.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group?
All of the staff seemed to know who I was when I came in for appointments. I never had to remind him of things that were in my chart. I also appreciated that I had a cycle-dependent (not a batch) treatment - it made me really feel like we were working to give ME the best chance of success, not to give the clinic the maximum number of patients.
Describe the protocols Jason Kofinas used in your cycles at Kofinas Fertility Group and their degree of success.
I have MS, and Dr Kofinas was very open that many of his patients with the MS carry healthy pregnancies to term, but others have recurrent miscarriages. With that in mind, I was treated as if I had had recurrent miscarriages (though I had never had a positive pregnancy test at that point).
To that end:
We did: a mock transfer/ERA, PRP, PGT-A
We used: a brief course of neupogen, steroids, Lovenox (in addition to the other medications as part of my protocol)
The result is screaming her head off as I try to type this review.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Kofinas Fertility Group. (Assigned nurse: Tierney and Juany )
Truly, all of the nurses I worked with were fantastic. The two primary nurses on my case - Tierney and Juany- were friendly, communicative and organized. I never left an appointment unsure of my protocol or next steps
Describe your experience with Kofinas Fertility Group.
The whole staff is wonderful. However, new patients might want to know that at least one of my surgical procedures was not performed by my primary doctor (I don’t remember which because it wasn’t that important to me, but it might be to someone else).
Because Dr Jason is the only doctor at the UWS location, the office is not open every day and you will have to go down to the FiDi location on weekends and certain other days. Again, this was not a problem for me, but is worth calling out.
Insurance covered nearly my whole cycle and I was able to get reimbursed through work for what insurance did not cover, but I have the impression it is not the cheapest option.
All that being said, I am very, very pleased with my experience with Kofinas and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for fertility treatment.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group.
I believe the total cost was ~$90,000. Insurance covered all but ~$8,200. Of that $8,200, the majority was PGT testing ($5k?), and another ~$2k for facility fees.
Dr. [Jason] Kofinas is professional, kind and a wonderful communicator. His ability to explain the IVF process and answer questions with clear answers made me feel at ease during my fertility journey. I would highly recommend he and his team to anyone wanting to explore IVF for the first time...During the IVF process, I did one retrieval, one mock transfer and one official transfer. The mock transfer was extremely helpful in determining exactly what my body needed to make the official transfer successful and it was!
Tierney Spencer truly made my experience with Kofinas Fertility Group an A++ Organizing all of my medications was extremely overwhelming in the beginning and she really helped me feel confident through the process while checking in to make sure I had everything I needed...I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kofinas and his team! My only note for a new patient would be to prepare to wait in the waiting room for at least an hour before every visit. I spent many hours in that waiting room, but it was worth it in the end!
