    Dr. Kofinas came highly recommended by a close friend. We chose Dr. Kofinas because my pregnancy was high risk. His knowledge exceeded our expectations, and he gave us guidance beyond the pregnancy, including nutrition and infant feeding. He and his staff did an excellent job monitoring our baby's development and gave us nutritional advice to support healthy growth. Although Dr. Kofinas did not always see us, we were not disappointed with Dr. Nguyen, who was also very personable and knowledgeable. His technique was excellent. Josephine is absolutely amazing. She was very thorough and personable at every visit! I never felt like a number or that I was being rushed out of the office! My husband and I are so grateful for the help of such caring and knowledgeable staff, who contributed to our child's growth and birth. We highly recommend him!

    Dr. Kofinas is brilliant and passionate about his work. He advocates for his patients and has a helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and highly capable staff. I am grateful to him and his team, and I became pregnant because of his expertise. I cannot imagine where I would be without Dr. Kofinas!

    After a miscarriage and a failed IVF implantation, I needed a doctor to help me continue with a third IVF attempt. He and his staff are the best, and now we have a healthy baby girl. Many thanks to Dr. Kofinas and his team! They are knowledgeable, know how to monitor my pregnancy, and make changes as needed. Thank you!

    After three miscarriages, Dr. Kofinas was able to identify my issues and create a customized protocol to address them. His commitment to a healthy mother and healthy baby is unmatched. When an unexpected complication arose, Dr. Kofinas adjusted the treatment plan and personally called the surgeon to arrange the immediate care we needed. He saved my life and my baby's life. We appreciated always receiving direct information. We will be forever grateful. The staff are friendly and helpful. When you call with a question, you always receive a prompt and complete answer. If you want meticulous attention to detail, a commitment to maternal and fetal health, and a straight shooter who always provides complete information, look no further!

    We were fortunate to find this clinic. It made me feel happy and confident throughout both pregnancies, which resulted in two beautiful, healthy babies. I especially want to thank Tara, Josephine, and Jen for their attentive care and support during my scans. They created such a warm, friendly environment that it felt more like a friendship than a simple medical visit.

    Dr. Alexander Kofinas came into my life at its most critical moment and made my dream come true. After a long, difficult, exhausting fertility journey filled with heartbreak and loss, I finally became a mother at 45. I knew I needed the best help to bring my baby safely into the world, and that is exactly what I found in Dr. Kofinas. From the first appointment, his expertise, confidence, and meticulous care gave me a sense of calm I had not felt in years. He took no chances, created a thorough plan, monitored every detail precisely, and treated my pregnancy with the urgency and excellence it deserved. He respected my medical history, listened to my fears, and never dismissed my concerns. Under his care, I felt completely safe, as though my baby and I were his highest priority—and we truly were! Thanks to Dr. Kofinas, my beloved daughter Eliana was born healthy and strong after everything we had endured. His unmatched skill, compassion, and dedication guided us through a high-risk pregnancy. I will always be grateful to Dr. Alexander Kofinas and his outstanding team for helping me bring my miracle safely into the world. He was the calm in the storm and the reason I can now hold my daughter in my arms. With endless gratitude, Sharda

    A review below perfectly describes Kofinas Perinatal. Dr. Alexander Kofinas is brilliant and passionate about his work, and his office team is excellent. After two second-trimester losses and one early miscarriage, I began researching Dr. Alexander Kofinas because many miscarriage support groups I joined on Facebook discussed him. His expertise was highly recommended. The difficulty was that I live in another state, whose healthcare system I no longer trust. I began reading Dr. Kofinas's book, The Working Womb. Before I even finished it, I realized he was the doctor I needed to see. The book is dedicated to sharing his knowledge and teaching those of us who are struggling how to advocate for ourselves. Sadly, in the United States in 2025, Dr. Kofinas's level of knowledge and care is not yet the standard. I also want to note that all proceeds from the book go directly to fertility-related research. That is wonderful. Although I am only beginning my journey with Dr. Alexander Kofinas, I look forward to working with him and his excellent team. Whether or not you have endured a long and difficult search for care like mine, this clinic deserves its praise. I will return with an update when we finally complete this journey and bring a beautiful baby home...

    Appointments at this clinic are a joke. Arrive on time, then be prepared to wait two hours. The staff are extremely disrespectful. Do not confuse them with “Kofina.” Good or bad, this guy is in town.

    My son turns 21 tomorrow. Thank you, Dr. Alex and George Kofinas!

    My husband and I will always be grateful to Dr. Kofinas and his team. Because of them, we have our miracle daughter. A friend referred us to Dr. Kofinas after three miscarriages, repeated failures, and two different fertility doctors telling us that our only chance of having a child was in vitro fertilization (IVF). Dr. Kofinas took the time to carefully investigate the causes of my miscarriages and created a personalized treatment plan. Three months later, I was pregnant. From then on, my daughter and I were closely monitored and cared for, making me feel completely safe. Ultrasounds that once caused extreme anxiety now made me feel seen and respected—many thanks to Josephine, Tara, and Jen. Every question or concern was answered promptly and thoroughly—thank you, Christine, Shonelle, and Paddy. I will also always be grateful for Dr. Nguyen's reassurance, guidance, and humor. Thank you so much to the entire team. Words can never truly express how much you mean to us!

    This is the best, most thorough, and most caring clinic and doctor I have ever encountered. They help you become pregnant and sustain the pregnancy. If any problem arises during pregnancy, they can see you the same day. Everyone knows you by name. No matter how minor your concern, they take it seriously. I love them!

    I was fortunate to know Dr. Kofinas and to know that he has helped thousands of women become mothers. So when I became pregnant and experienced two miscarriages, I knew I had to become his patient. No one wants to need a high-risk pregnancy specialist or face a complicated pregnancy, but thank God Dr. Kofinas is a pioneer in this field. Other doctors are only now beginning to learn what he has been doing for 40 years. His knowledge, protocols, and team are exceptional. My daughter will soon be two, and looking back, I am so grateful that I became his patient. At Kofinas Perinatal, you and your baby are carefully cared for and monitored by the entire team from before conception through delivery, and that is priceless. Dr. Kofinas taught me so much and genuinely cared for me throughout pregnancy and delivery. Every day when I hold my daughter, I am deeply grateful that she is my miracle baby thanks to Dr. Kofinas. This review is long overdue, and I hope everyone is as fortunate as I was to find him. I highly recommend his book, The Working Womb, to better understand who he is and how he works. Dr. Kofinas, thank you for helping so many people who once felt hopeless achieve their dream of motherhood. You are truly a gift from heaven!

    After losing my son at 34 weeks, I came for a consultation to find the maternal-fetal medicine specialist best suited to me. I only wanted to meet the doctor and see whether he was a good fit. They said they did not offer “interviews” and that I had to follow their consultation process, but there would be no charge because I had met my annual out-of-pocket maximum. I then received a $3,500 bill listing services I never received. When I called to ask why, they said the insurer had to pay first before those items could be removed. I later received a second bill that still charged for services I never received. They also never contacted me about my test results, even though I called two months ago. This is nothing but a money grab.

    After six years of trying IVF, I came to Dr. Alex Kofinas and Dr. John Nguyen at Kofinas Perinatal at 42 years old, hoping for answers, reassurance, and expert care—and that is exactly what I received, and so much more. From the very beginning, I was seen weekly, and those visits became a source of comfort and confidence throughout my pregnancy. Both doctors are incredibly knowledgeable and truly complement each other in the best way. Dr. Kofinas has a more direct, to-the-point approach, while Dr. Nguyen brings a sense of humor and warmth that immediately puts you at ease. Together, they create a perfect balance of expertise and compassion. The entire team is exceptional. Jennifer and Irena, the sonographers, are absolutely amazing—you naturally form a bond with them over time, and they made every visit feel personal and reassuring. Shanira, the nurse, was consistently kind, patient, and always ready to answer any questions I had week after week with a smile. Shivonne at the front desk was equally wonderful—always helpful, responsive, and never once made me feel like a burden, no matter how often I reached out. During my pregnancy, I needed a cerclage, which Dr. Nguyen performed. He reassured me every step of the way, helping ease any fears I had going into the procedure. After months of close monitoring and care, I am beyond grateful to say I delivered a healthy baby boy. I truly credit this team for ensuring that every aspect of my pregnancy was carefully watched and managed. Their dedication gave me peace of mind during what was such a long and emotional journey. After I gave birth, they were the first people I reached out to. Not only did they respond—they personally called to check in on me. That level of care and genuine compassion is something you don’t find everywhere. I am forever grateful to this incredible team and cannot recommend Kofinas Perinatal highly enough. I look forward to visiting them soon to introduce them to the beautiful baby they helped me bring into the world. -Nicole Adisano

    This clinic is wonderful, and words cannot express my gratitude. They genuinely care about patients and treat them like family. They are also experts in their respective fields.

    Dr. Kofinas is the reason I can hold my miracle baby today! I went to him for a more detailed workup after multiple IVF failures and years of heartache. He diagnosed problems that had been missed and recommended endometriosis surgery. Although I had no symptoms, I had severe abdominal endometriosis. He was exactly right, prescribed supplements to help prepare my body for pregnancy, and my next IVF cycle produced my best results: the best embryos from my fourth egg retrieval, followed by my first successful IVF pregnancy. I attribute my success to him, and words cannot express how grateful I am for his expertise. In addition, everyone in the office is warm and friendly. They become like family, and I sincerely look forward to seeing them again for baby number 2!

    Dr. Kofinas and Dr. Nguyen are wonderful. They work with you and are committed to helping you have a healthy pregnancy!

    Dr. Kofinas and Dr. Nguyen are outstanding. They are completely committed to their patients' pregnancy outcomes, are available whenever you need them—Dr. Nguyen once gave me an emergency appointment on New Year's Eve—and are very kind. They are highly knowledgeable, and their nurses and technicians are the best. They saw me through two successful pregnancies. I will always be grateful to them for my children.
