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.

The clinic [Reproductive Sepcialists of NY] where Doctor Trivax is based in Mineola was too far from my home, for my daily check-in so I had to go to West Islip instead. There. I saw different doctors which I really didn't like. The daily check-in wait period was not too bad, but the day of the IUIs was very long. Again, the actual IUI were perfomed by different doctors, which I didn't like.

My insurance not participate in IVF so the meds were expensive
I was fortunate my IVF was successful but if it hadn't been, I would have stayed with Dr. Trivax because he was comforting, never made me feel silly for all my anxiety, and always called me back when I called way to often.
I went to Cornell & Columbia before Dr. Trivax and immediately knew I wanted to use him and his practice.

The entire team [at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York], staff, doctors, admins, front desk, billing team, everyone at NYU Langone Reproductive Health are amazing humans. The nurses are top notch, and they were so fully invested in my outcom
How was your experience with Satu Kuokkanen at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?
To begin, I had a very difficult case. I started fertility treatment at age 39, after covid, which was trying in itself with all the new rules, fears, and regulations. I was older, had a lower egg reserve, and very low quality. So yes, this was an uphill battle. We found Dr. Kuokkanen on a random Google search and thought we would give her a shot for a consult based on her reviews. We normally take fertility reviews with a grain of salt because reviews will be better based on success about 99% of the time, and each person is different with a different journey. We decided to have a consult, and after meeting with her, we knew she was our Doctor. It's just a feeling you get, a connection, an understanding. I began with IUI treatments, and unfortunately, they were not successful. I don't believe I was compatible with my first 2 or 3 donors, so those didn't work out. The third and 4th IUI cycles were a success, only to miscarry between 7-9 weeks. I don't think people can understand what its like to have a miscarriage unless they have experienced one. No matter how stable of an individual you are, it can take pieces of you and break you down slowly. You get in your own head, and it can change you if you let it. For a while, I was angry, bitter, and hated the world. My lowest point, to say the least. It seemed to keep getting worse for a while. I had to take a break from treatment because I felt defeated and just gave up. I had to go through all that to get past the loss and grief. All the stages of grief happen after a miscarriage. This can also cause a lot of relationship issues with your partner if you are not strong, but she never left my side and was my rock. It showed me she was my person.
I made the stupid usual desperation mistake a lot of women do by going to another clinic for a different opinion. I did my first retrieval and transfer at Weill Cornell in NYC, and what a huge mistake that year turned out to be. Showed me how different doctors can be. When you are not thinking clearly and you're desperate, you do stupid things, you believe anything. So upon my first IVF cycle, I ended up getting pregnant, and just like the other 2 times at NYU Langone, it ended up leading to a miscarriage. The ironic thing is when I was crying to my Doctor in his office on that last day, asking what am I doing wrong, what can I do differently, he responded with "Other than going back in time, and getting a much younger egg, I don't know what else we can do for you". I was beside myself and livid by those words. After just being told you miscarried, to hear that was heartbreaking, and it made me angry, no matter how he meant it. It made me realize I just wasted a year of my life at the wrong place with the wrong Doctor. Where is your compassion?? I was nothing more than a patient and a number for his Stats.
I took some time off for a while, and during that time, Dr. K successfully did a retrieval and transfer for my partner, and we now have a beautiful baby boy!
As perfect as that was, I couldn't fill that void of having a baby of my own. I ended up going back to NYU Langone Reproductive Health and started from scratch with IVF. After many egg retrieval issues, it was clear my egg quality was not looking good. I didn't lose faith, and we tried several alternatives, and as god and Dr. K would have it, while our first Son was 3 months old, I became pregnant with his brother! They will now be a year apart. This miracle is 100% due to Dr. K and her ability to never give up on her patients. She tried everything for me, and in the end, it was successful. God has his own timing. This review would be the exact same even if I wasn't successful because her tenacity and passion for getting us the family we wanted always showed. She never gave up and encouraged us not to as well. In the end, I have no regrets. I think about the three I lost every day, but I believe I needed to go through what I did to come out a different person. Sometimes things happen for a reason, and I no longer question and ask why, I trust that god took the wheel. The good, bad, and the ugly needed to happen to get me where I am today. I thank God for Dr. K every single day. She has a good heart, she loves her patients, loves teaching, and shows up every day with a smile on her face. What do you get someone who gave you life's greatest blessings? How can you re-pay them? Somehow, "thank you" just seems like words and can never suffice. I owe her everything, and again, it's not because we were successful, it's because she never gave up on OUR dream. She showed up for us and took her oath seriously, and made us believe it was possible. We love you Dr. K!! We will make sure our boys never forget who you are and what you did for us! We will always be your number 1 fans!!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Satu Kuokkanen at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?
Have patience, nothing happens overnight. There is a reason why they call it a journey... it's not something that can just happen in 2 weeks, give Dr. K the time to find the right plan for you and your issues. She is the best and wants this for you too. Never forget she is on your side. When things don't go our way we tend to blame our doctors, but remember, it's a journey and they are on our side.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Satu Kuokkanen at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?
Dr. K really listened to my concerns and explained everything in a way I could understand, not in Medical jargon, making me feel like she was genuinely invested in my health and care, not just rushing through an appointment. She was thorough, kind, empathetic and checked in with me at all hours when issues arose. I always left Dr. K's office feeling heard and empowered to manage my health, she treated us like partner's in my care, not just a patient, and that's truly rare. . Beyond her medical expertise, Dr. K has a wonderful bedside manner - she is so kind, compassionate, laughs with us, and make you feel comfortable even when discussing sensitive topics. I appreciate how she takes the time to ask about our life outside of the clinic, showing she cares about my overall well-being, not just my fertility plan. We shared many stories, laughs, tears and there is NO ONE like her, believe me. How can you put into words and thank someone for giving you the family you only ever dreamed of. My case had so many ups and downs and with that comes tears and triumphs, and no one ever knows how it will turn out. She never gave up on me like other doctors did. She had faith and forced me to stay positive when I hit rock bottom after 3 miscarriages. There are just no words, unless you experience it, you don't believe you can come back from something like that and be normal again, but Dr. K kept on moving and altering our plan and here I am with 2 children and the family I never thought was possible. She is a blessing from God!
The entire team, staff, doctors, admins, front desk, billing team, everyone at NYU Langone Reproductive Health are amazing humans. The nurses are top notch, and they were so fully invested in my outcome, where do you get service like that? I cannot say enough about them all!!
Describe the protocols Satu Kuokkanen used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.
Dr. K started out with IUI treatments. We decided I may not be compatible with the donor so we switched out a couple times to confirm, and it proved to be true because I got pregnant immediately on the 3rd and 4th IUI.
When I miscarried twice via IUI, we moved to IVF so we could do PGA testing and confirmed my eggs were not viable. That was eye opening but not shocking due to my age.
There were many different alternatives we tried and she never gave up. In the end I got my baby boy.
How competent was Satu Kuokkanen at LGBTQ+ care?
Dr. K understood our situation, we never felt judged or inferior to other couples. In fact, we believe she loved us more because she understood our issues of not being able to conceive naturally/biologically and did everything she could to make a family possible for us. I also believe she thinks we are the funniest patients she ever met, so how can you not love us?

Describe Satu Kuokkanen's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.
Doctors always know best, single transfers are better and safer as when you are older, you can have complications with multiples. Based on my age and issues, we only transferred one at a time.
Dr Kuokkanen is highly experienced...knows what she is doing...she communicates she cares about people and loves what she does...After the IUI process, there was an infection for which she was prescribed medication, which then caused an allergic reaction and other complications
[NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York] strengths are that they were friendly and professional...always asked how I was doing and was very genuine about it...weaknesses...would tell me the appointment was scheduled, but later call me that no schedule was made...coordination between the front desk and the nurses was not always in sync

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Satu Kuokkanen at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?

She made me feel comfortable and never forced any treatment that I was not sure about. She provided step by step process to ensure we are well educated on all the options. We did not feel like a number but rather a human/person who was going through difficulty.
Describe the protocols Satu Kuokkanen used in your cycles at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York and their degree of success.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.
There was one nurse who was very compassionate and organized and made sure that my anxiety level was handled with empathy. I do not remember her name but she was nice and made me feel like she loves what she does.
I can't say the same for others, not all nurses can show the same level of compassion, and at times made me feel like just another number that needed things to be done for that day.
Describe your experience with NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.
The clinic's strengths are that they were friendly and professional. They always asked how I was doing and was very genuine about it.
Some of their weaknesses are that they would tell me the appointment was scheduled, but later call me that no schedule was made. The coordination between the front desk and the nurses was not always in sync, which can be a little overwhelming.

Failed to inform you of changes in protocol
Provided conflicting information
Failed to convey critical information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.
They had sent a prescription to a pharmacy and failed to notify me to make me aware. Which caused a delay in the process.
Sometimes I would schedule appointments and I was never made aware of what those appointments were for and it caused several confusion.
I wish the clinic was a little better at providing information and also communication. This was my first time going through something like this and of course, I am not aware of the next steps.

When Dr. Fritz pass by me when I was getting blood draw, he would call our my name and say hi. Whenever I ask him about my situation, he would be able to answer right away most of the time, if not, he will go back and check his record...Due to my age, Dr. Fritz asked if donor egg is an option for us, we stated in our first meeting that it's not an option and he never brings it up again unlike my previous Dr, who makes me feel that he has no confident on getting a normal embryo with my egg, I understand it's difficult for my age, but I don't need the constant reminder.
I think the [NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York] clinic is well organized as I did not have to wait for long time for each visit. There are other patients waiting with me, but we all got called pretty quick. I think the only weaknesses is when you call the clinic to make appointment during weekends, you will need to wait until next business day to get call back to schedule appointment.
How was your experience with Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?
Due to my age, Dr. Fritz asked if donor egg is an option for us, we stated in our first meeting that it's not an option and he never brings it up again unlike my previous Dr, who makes me feel that he has no confident on getting a normal embryo with my egg, I understand it's difficult for my age, but I don't need the constant reminder.
I have had 5 retrievals before Dr. Fritz and all were with ICSI, but Dr. Fritz recommended not having ICSI and he explained the pro and con of ICSI to me, we ended up decided to go with Dr. Fritz's recommendation of not having ICSI. The fertilized rate is slight smaller than when I had ICSI, but we ended up having 2 embryos at day 5 for PGS, while my 4th and 5th IVF had only 1 to day 5. I had two miscarriages before so we want to do PGS on the day 5 embryos. This would be our last IVF as we got too tired of trying. Then one days I got a call from Dr. Fritz, I could tell he was really excited and he yelled that the PGS result is back! There is one euploid! I did not understand what it mean at first as it was all too sudden for me, then he said we got one normal embryo! It was an exciting moment, but we still have to go through the transfer and many more visits.
The day before my scheduled transfer, I got sick and was cough, I messaged Dr. Fritz about my situation, he called back and asked me about how bad it is and he said it's better to cancel this transfer and wait for next cycle. I think it was a good decision as my cough got worst few days later and last for more than a week. We finally got the embryo transferred during next cycle. I had some bleeding during 6th and 8th week, Dr. Fritz told me to go to office and exam me, after seeing the heartbeat, he told me it's normal as around 25 to 50% of pregnant women would have some bleeding and continue with the pregnancy. I am glad we found Dr. Fritz.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Rani Fritz at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?
Dr. gives recommendations, but I think all patients needs to educate themselves and always ask if you have any questions/ concerns.

What specific things went wrong at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?
Failed to call with results
Describe the specific things that went wrong at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York.
There was once the clinic did not call me for my blood result and on my next visit they asked me how come I did not come last time, then realized that somehow the information on my last visit was not linked to me.
I had severe OHSS to where I couldn't walk. She told me to come in and helped me with it and guided me. Personally walked me in and out. When our transfer resulted in no pregnancy, Dr. Sung personally called me to tell me that it didn't work, not to give up and we will get there. I was sobbing in Sephora and she told me to go to a quite corner and just cry it out with her. She was supportive understanding.... I didn't see her often until retrieval, follow up and transfer but when i did she was patient and kind.
STRENGTH [of Reproductive Specialists of NY]: Communication Easy appointments Fast Results WEAKNESS Overcrowded Sometimes you see different Dr's without warning Sometimes can seem very money hungry.

How was your experience with Linda Sung at NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York?
Dr Sung was an amazing Dr. when I sat with her.
I didn't see her often until retrieval, follow up and transfer but when i did she was patient and kind. The communication was lacking from Nurse to patient to Dr. I feel as if I wasnt being taken seriously during my TWW as I started bleeding and was told it was normal. I was watching my progesterone drop and was told I was in normal limits despite seeing it fall. I feel like this was major miscommunication and not relayed to Dr. Sung. I did speak with her afterwards and we discussed my next protocol and that I needed to speak with her and not just the nurses as I felt brushed off. She apologized profusely. I feel that it isn't a situation with the Dr's as it is a situation with the place and being over packed and consistently busy. I don't think they can keep up or keep a personal relationship. More of a factory like atmosphere than a personal clinic.
