Charalampos Chatzicharalampous

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.

Trust him 100%. He will find a way to make it work!

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.

Mondays and Fridays are really busy! May wait for an hour or more. Other days are ok, you are seen within 20-30 minutes.

Insurance covered most of it. Had to pay about 20% out of pocket.

Everyone who struggles with infertility knows what a sensitive topic this is, we come in to these clinics with broken hearts, lack of hope and lack of trust in our bodies not to much so much confusion. From the first day I met Dr C I knew he was going to be the one to make my dreams come true . I felt his energy through every part of my soul. He was extremely knowledgeable , honest and always sensitive to my needs. No matter how many times I emailed him asked him the same questions over and over , seemed doubtful scared He was always there to pick me up when I felt like I was falling apart she answered my emails so quickly anytime of day weekends nights holidays If I needed him he was always there. The way he put so much thought effort knowledge into my protocol I feel like that is why we were so successful he really took the time to get to know me my journey my own situation It was a personalized protocol just for me and we did it on the first try

I have seen many doctors in my life but none have left such an impact on my life the way Dr C did ….Charalampos Chatzichatalampous you are a remarkable doctor and I am so blessed to have met you…Thank you for giving me my daughter

I was on my supplemts to help keep me at my healthiest from mynoverhall health , I felt super protected from COVID as well. We used lots of supplements from life extension That helped the egg quality then we did everything we could for my uterus , placenta He also gave me prescription pillls like tacrolimus and plaquenil to help suppress immune system so my natural killer cells wouldn’t act up I was on lovenox throughout my whole pregnancy also did progesterone shots gonal f certricide and also had weekly intralipids infusions Whenever I listen to friends protocols who struggle with similar fertility issues I knew my protocol was the best , he had everything covered

They made waking up so early so easy…The office staff at front desk always greeted you a smile and always got you in and out where you never felt rushed but never felt worried if you had to get to work

I had no insurance coverage so they were very clear on how much it would cost . I was able to pay as I went whether I was bringing cash or credit cards They helped me make it happen helped guide me anyway I can save money on. Medications too

Dr. Chatzicharalampous "Dr. Harry" is the best provider that I ever had. He helped me feel comfortable my entire process. He explained every step of the way the good and the bad and set real time expectations. He was compassionate and caring to my needs. I have never had a doctor that was so attentive and cared. One thing I always admire was he remembered the small personal things discussed outside of treatment.He was also personable and not just making you feel like a chart number like my previous doctors. He is the best and I will always recommend him to family and friends. I am so happy that I was his patient.

You are in good hands, he is willing to answer all questions so never hesitate to ask them. He is very knowledgable . Be comfortable and trust the process. The best decision you made was choosing Dr. Harry as a doctor.

I came in and wasn't sure of the right course of treatment. I have been to doctors before that did not take time to see what treatment I would need. He was able to see what I needed. He conducted all the right test , a Laparoscopy and other recommended test that ultimately led to me conceiving on my own.

I only paid my co payments . My insurance covered most of the expenses.

Dr. Harry was amazing and had excellent bedside manner. He answered all of our questions and managed our expectations. He had excellent compassion when we experienced disappointing roadblocks. But he always had a plan for what to try next. He was confident and optimistic.

Ask as many questions as you like. He will give you as much rationale for his recommendations and data to support his recommendations.

Monitoring hours were typically run smoothly. They made it easy for me to work around work scheduled. However, if you needed to go in on the weekends you would need to go to the manhattan office and likely waiting for long periods of time.

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

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.

This last cycle we started with chlomid am, pm 3 gonal 1 menapur then switched to 1 cetratide am, 4 menapur PM until my last day of shots which was am, certitude and 2 gonal + pm hcg shot

I had progyny so his costs were covered

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.

Trust Dr. C!

Finding Dr. Harry was such a blessing for us. From the first day he explained everything to us very carefully. His optimistic attitude is so comforting and he makes you feel like he actually cares about you. He's very knowledgeable and will let you know your options from the beginning. I was very pleased with my experience and I would recommend him to anyone seeking fertility help.

I would advice a future patient to trust his opinion and trust the process.

Due to PCOS I don"t always ovulate and it was very difficult to plan when I would ovulate. Dr. Harry placed me on femara and monitored my follicle growth, once I had mature follicles he gave me a trigger shot and proceeded with a IUI.

AS Dr. C's patient he was very kind and personable. He stayed positive through it all and that helped me to stay positive. It's so easy to get discouraged with IVF and he made sure to always keep a positive light on everything we were doing.

Listen to everything he has to say and understand that his goal is for you to get pregnant.

I had a biopsy to assess the best day to transfer my embryo.

I don’t remember most is covered under my insurance.

I did request to have 2 embryos transferred as my first one was unsuccessful. Dr. C advised to go with one again this time as I still have 2 other embryos.

Dr. Harry is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about his field, and most importantly kind and warm. He makes sure to explain all options, answer all of your questions, and help you make the best choice for your situation.

You will not regret it!

Fertility diagnostic testing, one cycle of pills to stimulate ovulation followed by monitoring and timed intercourse, once pregnant he provided observation, medicine to support the pregnancy, and monitoring throughout the first trimester

$20 copay each time, otherwise they worked with my insurance to cover all my expenses

N/A

He is an amazing doctor. Very knowledgeable and very thorough. He explains everything to you and helps you understand. His bedside manners are great along with the rest of the nurse and staff. My experience has been wonderful. I have had 2 misscarriages withina year and I am so greatful to have met Dr. Chatzicharalampous because now I am 10 weeks pregnant and am feeling great!

I would tell them not to loose hope, that Dr. C is amazing and will help you in as many ways as possible.

My insurance was covered however I believe that with surgery, you pay $500 dollars to the surgical center.

I came to Dr. C after spending an entire year elsewhere where I felt I was not given the best standard of care. After my first visit with Dr. C., I knew I was in the right place. The difference was like night and day. Dr. C. treats you like a person, not a number. You end up considering him your provider but also a friend who’s in this tough journey with you. Dr. C. can be too honest and blunt for some but I never felt uncomfortable, I appreciated his candid attitude, his truthfulness, professionalism and how he sprinkled his sense of humor into our visits. He is incredibly intelligent and knows exactly what he is doing. He never lies or sugar coats but also does not give up on you. He will pivot if he has to and he will make sure you understand what is going on every step of the way. I never doubted him and knew I could reach my goal of having a baby with him.

All you need is to go to one consult and you will leave knowing this is the place to be.

I have PCOS and Dr. C suspected endometriosis which he ultimately diagnosed and treated before we began any egg retrievals. I don’t exactly remember the protocol but the goal was to stimulate me to get as many eggs for retrieval as possible to increase my odds of producing normal embryos.

Monitoring hours were convenient for work. The clinic opened early so you didn’t have to wait outside in the cold or heat.

17K for one complete IVF cycle plus add ons like PGT A testing. However I did two out of 3 rounds with insurance and I only had to pay my deductible.

For ethical reasons Dr. C prefers single embryo transfers and he clearly explains why but multiple embryo transfers are possible in a case by case basis.

Dr. Charalampos Is an amazing man. He was always so happy never anger when coming to office always seem happy. Always made me feel comfortable and we would laugh and just always glad to see him when I came to the office

Be patient and listen and trust the process. Even though it can be difficult at times.

Progesterone in oil (injections) x1 day in booty cheek Lovenox (injections) x2 a day in stomach Estrogen pill x 2 a day Metformin x 2 a day Prenatal X 1 a day Calcium x 2 a day For the medication was on it for maybe a good 3 months First month was to get my lining thick enough for the transfer and I was about 10-11mm thick when transfer was scheduled and we continued medication a little pasted my 10 weeks of pregnancy and now I’ll be seeing my Ob for now on.

You schedule your appointment or some are a time frame walk-in 7-9am.so it really depends what you are doing

The process for me was an expense but so worth it because my insurance didn’t really pay for anything they paid about 1400$ for me in total of procedures and some of my medications the rest is on me. But the financial office I only dealt with them when I had to get the pricing for everything I had to get done it’s just hearing the numbers is shocking but it was something I wanted to go through and wanted so I went through

We only did one embryo. Would have been nice to do two but I guess for safety measure. But super happy regardless

Initially I went in 2021 for a consult. I left discouraged becuase my tubes were partially blocked from a procedure i had done previously and my insurance was not going to cover the ivf if I got them removed. We discussed my options IUI with testing my eggs were still good and plenty at 39. My husband's sperm was on the lower side being 47. . He also diagnosed me with Endometriosis and Pcos which could have resulted in my previous losses. I always assumed it was my fibroids it was not . I went back April 2022 with a game plan . I did EVERYTHING he said. So did my husband. Tunes clear. Husband's sperm went from 20 mill to 40, with it all stacked against we took a shot. First round May 2022 failed. He encouraged me to keep trying we had time and to not let my age define my faith. 2nd round June 2022. He called me at work and gave me the biggest congratulations. Changed my life. My son is here and I owe DR Harry everything

He is very personable but professional. He is straight forwarded but he is a man of actions. He looked for other avenues if one failed. We had a plan A, B and C in case I needed it. We did not but he was ready to fight with me

Before closing, he recommended several vitamins pre natal, omega 3 etc but prescribed Metformin which is a diabetic drug I do not have that was a game changer for keeping the pregnancy once I was pregnant. He prescribed so many supplements for pcos that saved my pregnancy. I took them daily as instructed

My insurance covered 4 rounds of iui I had a 25$ co pay for most visits I we ny 1-3 times a week. Some testing Gebetic , labs for my husband and me were higher co-pays but that's my insurance Lastly allt of the pre-workout for the vitamins and supplements I had to take and meds were out of pocket . Some meds were under insurance tho so just co pays

Iui was done . Single pregnancy

Dr.Harry is a great doctor. I started my journey back in December 2021. After 2 miscarriages I was about to give up hope until I met Dr. H which he reassured me and made sure that didn’t happen. Fast forward September 2022 I am now 10 weeks pregnant. I would definitely recommend Dr.H.

Don’t give up on your dreams of becoming a parent. Dr.H is the go to doctor.

I started my journey with Dr. H in December 2021. I had 1 round of IUI negative pregnancy result. Dr. H wanted to be aggressive and I went straight to IVF. After 1 round of IVF I became pregnant. Dr. H made my dream come true.

Morning monitoring was perfect for me. I can go there then head straight to work. I’m always there less than an hour.

Kofinas was out of network for me. My insurance paid a good portion of it. Total out of pocket was around $13,000.

None

Very knowledgeable and straightforward. Listened to all my needs and was able to diagnose me correctly and never led me the wrong way. Built a relationship of trust and also compassion for this very stressful process.

Do not feel timid to ask all the questions. They will be answered in detail and you will be at ease

I had surgery to see if I had endometriosis due to the fact that I have always had heavy periods and 2 previous miscarriages. I did have endometriosis, 2 fibroids and scar tissue. Then he walked us through how we would most feel comfortable trying to get pregnant again. He explained all the possible methods and we personally went with IUI.

$50 co pay when doing sono and blood work. Co pay for surgery

Dr. Charalampos Chatzicharalampous is an outstanding doctor. He really looks at my case carefully and provided me with options. The first transfer didn't go through but he had a new strategic plan for my second transfer that included new advanced technology (PRP) that gave me confidence that I could pregnant and sure enough I did.

I highly recommend that patients see him. He knows the best solution for you. You have to trust him when he gives you advice.

I just remembered the usual medication protocol but the new PRP added to my uterus was what really helped with my uterus line thicker. Something that's not often done.

I think the overall cost was over 40,000

This doctor 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.

Be patient, have faith and trust this doctor who is very knowledgeable and professional.

I remember doctor C recommended me to do IVF after I had a laparoscopy surgery. I was the best choice I made due to my medical history and the damage endometriosis made to my uterus and ovaries.

None!

Dr. Harry helped make my dreams come true. He treated me with compassion and kindness and did everything he could to make my experience as comfortable as possible. I am forever grateful for his support and guidance throughout my journey.

Be open minded and ask all the questions!

Monitoring appointments were easy - there sometimes were long waits but not always. They run a very efficient and smooth ship!

Dr. C has a kind demeanor and is an excellent communicator. He was ready to answer any and all questions. We cannot thank him enough for guiding us through this process and always being readily available if we needed him. He explained everything and then re-explained when needed. He is a doctor that will remember you when you come in for your next appointment. Dr. C is honest and upfront and will never give a false sense of reassurance.

Ask. Ask. Ask. The only stupid question is the question that I never asked.

We really liked that everything proceeded in a steady pace. No part of the process ever felt rushed.

> $5000

N/A

I was very happy with my experience with Dr. Harry. He was comprehensive, reassuring, and did a great job with all my treatments, including a surgery he performed. After the surgery and treatment, I got pregnant on my own in two months. He monitored me through early pregnancy as well. I highly recommend him.

Other than copays and some meds, my insurance covered everything.
