Doctor Introduction

Dr. Jacquelyn Shaw, United States


Everyone should have the opportunity to build a family in the way and on the timeline they choose. Helping make that possible is what motivates me. I cannot imagine a better job to do every day.

As part of the NYU Langone Fertility Center team, I work with couples and individuals to diagnose fertility problems and provide treatments including in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo transfer, egg freezing for elective and medical reasons, and the use of donor eggs and sperm. We are pioneers in IVF, egg freezing, and other advances in reproductive medicine.

When I meet patients, most have already begun their fertility journey, and it has not gone as planned. My goal is to make the rest of that journey better, easier, and more hopeful.

Research and innovation are essential to reproductive endocrinology and fertility care. My clinical research focuses on improving IVF and reproductive surgery outcomes, preserving fertility, and increasing providers' skills and comfort in transgender care. I have advanced training in reproductive surgery, including advanced hysteroscopy, which uses an endoscope to examine the cervix and uterus, and minimally invasive robotic surgery to optimize fertility.

I work with diverse patient populations and have a special interest in caring for the LGBTQ+ community and patients who need fertility preservation for medical reasons. I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered fertility care and support to help people build families that meet their reproductive goals.

    I appreciated how Dr. Blackmore answered all my questions and concerns. She was very helpful with my decision and made it easy to choose. She examined me without rushing and responded kindly to my concerns. I would recommend her.

    Dr. Grifo and his team at NYU Langone Medical Center come highly recommended. I have great confidence in the excellent medical care provided here. My experience was exemplary: their high standards of care and compassion matched the knowledge and experience of the doctor and his team.

    Our egg retrieval experience was terrible!! We discovered that anesthesia was not provided by NYU Langone, and they did not know the cost. The anesthesia provider was also out of network. We called for the anesthesiologist's billing department phone number, but they could not even provide a correct number. In our insurance claims, we found a claim for nearly $8000 as our responsibility, just for 15 minutes of IV sedation. Really? That is outrageous. ========== 2023.7.10============== Update: After I complained, they contacted us and helped us reach the anesthesiologist's billing department. It turned out to be a surprise bill that should have been covered by insurance. ===========2025.6 =============== My embryo storage billing continues to trouble me. Around 2023, NYU Langone transferred embryo storage billing to Preclude Cryopreservation. For the past two years, the two companies have been unable to work together to resolve the issue, even though my insurance covers storage. For two years, I have repeatedly had to call NYU Langone, Preclude, and my insurance company. It is extremely frustrating. Please simplify this process.

    After the initial consultation, they never responded again. When I finally reached someone to discuss next steps, they wanted me to undergo a procedure that had never been discussed or consented to. Worse, they drew my blood for genetic testing despite knowing my insurance would not cover it and having no plan. This clinic clearly cares only about money and nothing else. I do not recommend it under any circumstances.

    If you are seeking personalized care, I do not recommend NYU Langone Fertility Center for IVF. Although some nurses and residents are attentive, the center operates like a factory—you see whichever doctor is on duty that day—and patients rarely see their attending physician after the initial consultation. This model exposes patients to greater risks, including inadequate postoperative care, insufficient OHSS prevention and monitoring, and even excessive sedation during procedures.
    Jan 25, 2026
    Everyone is warm and friendly when you are actually at the fertility center. However, if you call or need help, you cannot reach a real person beyond their outsourced answering service. Several times a nurse called and I missed it, but I could not call back because the line always went to the answering service. It was extremely frustrating. I do not recommend them. The administration added tremendous stress to my entire experience.

    I recently visited as a new patient, and the experience was very pleasant and helpful. I got an appointment sooner than expected, and my doctor and every nurse addressed all my concerns. So far, I am very satisfied with this center.

    The staff on the sixth floor are unbelievable!!! They demanded that I sign a document stating that I would pay all costs if my insurance did not cover my scan. I called my insurance company on the spot, and they said it was covered. When I refused to sign, the staff began disclosing my private health information to other patients in the waiting area. When I accused them of violating HIPPA, they hid in a back room and laughed. Completely unprofessional—and guess what? My insurance did pay!

    At 8 a.m. on Tuesday, the supposedly 24-hour postoperative patient advice line was unreachable. This is outrageous. I was in severe pain and urgently needed to speak with someone, but after surgery I could not even reach the advice line, let alone a doctor.
    Jan 16, 2026
    I have not yet had my egg retrieval, but so far I am very pleased with the care and guidance I have received. Dr. Berkeley and all the nurses at NYU Langone are wonderful. During monitoring, many women do wait in the waiting room, and as other reviews mention, it can feel a little like a factory. But it is a great “factory” 😊, with short waits and dedicated nurses who always welcome you warmly and are ready to answer all your questions.

    This clinic is terrible—do not go! Everyone, from the front desk to the doctors, is disorganized. I saw Dr. Emily Weidenbaum, and the experience was awful. She was extremely unprofessional, could not answer simple questions, and gave confusing instructions. I later went to RMA and was very pleased with the doctor and clinic there. Do not go to NYU!
    Jan 21, 2026
    This organization is terrible and completely disorganized, which is absurd for a family-planning provider. I had an appointment, but just before it they said they do not see patients above a certain BMI, even though they already had all my information. These people do not care about their patients.
    Jan 19, 2026
    Terrible experience, do not go here. It is an overpriced factory, you will never have access to your doctor (or a doctor at all). I did my egg freezing here and they mismanaged my medication plan which caused me to only retrieved 15% of eggs (typical is 75%).
    Mar 10, 2026
    It is so hard to talk to someone here. I am trying to talk to someone for 3 days and my call just get transfer to one dep to another. They don’t even know who can answer my simple question about donor egg prices. How can I even start any treatment here when it’s so challenging just to get simple info. Not a place to go if the staff can not answer a simple questions.
    Feb 26, 2026
    I had a wonderful experience at NYU Fertility Center as a patient of Dr. Berkeley. From the very beginning, he was incredibly detailed and straightforward, providing clear facts and setting realistic expectations. I was fortunate to respond well to treatment and had a successful egg freezing cycle, and I truly felt supported throughout the process. The doctors, nurses, and staff are all warm, friendly, and professional. I also appreciated how transparent they are about pricing. Everything was explained upfront, so there were no surprises at the end which is such a relief when navigating fertility treatment. I would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable care.

    Tip 1: If your period does not arrive during the expected window, you might assume they will automatically reschedule you for the next month. They will not. You must contact your coordinator and reschedule yourself. Tip 2: They have a communication platform, but all messages are deleted after a short time. Save every message, along with staff names and email addresses. Tip 3: My doctor denied that mood changes could be a side effect. I was completely unprepared for them. Tip 4: The clinic closes in late December. If your period usually comes in November or December, confirm their opening hours before scheduling. Tip 5: Be considerate of others. Unless absolutely necessary, please do not bring men to the clinic. I saw someone become distressed when accompanied by a man. Hormone injections made me extremely emotionally sensitive and vulnerable.

    I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Emily Weidenbaum and hear her philosophy of patient care. Her thoughtfulness and compassion were immediately clear. She has a warm, calm presence and explains complex matters in a clear, accessible way that puts people at ease. As a gay person, it was especially meaningful to hear her speak openly about inclusive care and the many paths to building a family.
    Feb 26, 2026
    Dr. Emily Weidenbaum is an excellent doctor. She is compassionate and patient and takes time to explain every step of treatment clearly. Fertility care can be stressful, but she makes patients feel supported and genuinely cared for. Her team is also outstanding—friendly, efficient, and consistently responsive—which makes the process much smoother. I always felt heard and confident in her care. I highly recommend her and her team.
    May 14, 2026
    “Patients do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.” I highly recommend Dr. Weidenbaum. She is not only a highly knowledgeable and experienced physician trained at world-class institutions, but more importantly, she truly demonstrates that she cares about her patients. Every visit with her has felt refreshingly human and sincere. She is warm and friendly, takes time to ask patients questions, and listens carefully to their answers. She explains conditions and treatment options in easy-to-understand language. Rather than making decisions for patients, she uses a patient-centered approach, reviews the available options and their risks and benefits, respects personal preferences, and asks which treatment the patient prefers. If we had more doctors like Dr. Weidenbaum, our healthcare system would be better, more efficient, and less stressful. I hope NYU Langone has her train the next generation of physicians. Dr. Weidenbaum offers flexible appointment options—consultations and follow-ups to discuss test results can be conducted virtually, while examinations and laboratory testing can be done in person. I also want to say that the overall experience was excellent. Dr. Weidenbaum’s nurse practitioner was kind, professional, and clearly well trained. Blood draws are difficult for me—my veins are hard to find, and I have vasovagal syncope, so I often faint during blood draws and sometimes vomit. Many phlebotomists struggle with my lab work. But Dr. Weidenbaum’s nurse practitioner was amazing! She found a vein and drew my blood in only 10 seconds. She did not slap my arm or reposition the tourniquet, so I did not faint! I wish she could do the lab work ordered by my other doctors too. Dr. Weidenbaum’s administrative staff, Christo and Jennifer, were equally excellent. They were highly responsive, communicated clearly, and were easy to work with. I wish all the clinicians I regularly see at NYU Langone were like Dr. Weidenbaum’s team.

    I really like how efficient and organized NYU’s 53rd Street location is, but I still go to the NoMad location because my doctor is there. Both locations have their strengths, but the staff and efficiency at 53rd Street are clearly superior.

    A very disappointing experience. I called three times today. The first time, they hung up on me. During the second and third calls, the representatives were extremely rude. The connection was terrible on the third call, and I had to repeat the same information over and over. During the second call, they could not even find my information. During the third, they repeatedly asked the same questions, and it remains unclear whether the issue was ever resolved. This was an extremely frustrating customer service experience.

    我整个孕期都在这家诊所做检查，但遗憾的是，每次体验都令人失望。即使是早上最早的时段，超声波检查也经常延误20分钟到1个多小时。 最近一次预约当天，早上7:30我接到电话，询问我是否可以提前到8:00而不是原定的8:30，因为他们预计会延误。我解释说我无法提前到达，会按原计划时间到达。 鉴于我之前在这家诊所预约时曾等过一个多小时，而且也知道他们经常延误，所以我并没有着急，最终还是迟到了12分钟。令我惊讶的是，他们竟然告诉我，因为我迟到了，所以不能给我看病。 我向主管表达了我的失望，并指出了其中的矛盾之处：诊所要求患者能够理解并接受医生最多一小时的延误，然而，尽管我可能本来就因为诊所的排班延误而需要等待，诊所却不愿意为我12分钟的延误做出任何让步。 怀孕37周，孕妇在寻求产前检查时最不应该承受的就是不必要的压力。医护人员有责任支持和照顾孕妇，而诊所的这种做法既不专业，也缺乏同理心。我希望诊所能够重新审视其排班政策，并以对待患者的方式给予他们应有的理解和尊重。

    在我的整个求子过程中，格里福医生和他的团队真的非常出色。他的医疗判断和决策极其精准，使得诊断迅速，问题也得到了有效解决。 我当时非常焦虑，通过无数封邮件与团队沟通，但他的协调员弗朗西丝总是及时回复，充满同情心，并帮助我与团队保持联系。 许多执业护士也都很友善、知识渊博且经验丰富。无论是在做超声波检查还是查看血液检查结果时，他们通常都能提供我需要的准确信息和安慰，让我感到很安心。 话虽如此，我与某位执业护士的几次互动却让我感觉不太舒服，有时甚至显得有些冷漠或缺乏同理心，这在这样一个充满情感挑战的过程中让我感到很煎熬。 尽管如此，感谢格里福医生和他的团队，我最终还是怀上了我一直期盼已久的宝宝。 格里福医生不仅学识渊博，更是一位肩负特殊使命的医生——他真心关爱每一位患者，并通过在生殖医学领域的工作，致力于让世界变得更美好。我对他无比敬重，他的医术也确实令人叹服。 就连FemVue手术过程都几乎无痛，他对超声波图像的解读也极其精准出色。经历了这次治疗后，我完全理解了为什么他被誉为最优秀的生育专家之一。 我将永远感激格里福医生和他的出色团队。

    快跑！预约和取消预约已经够让人抓狂了。我提前一个月预约，结果打了好几天电话想取消，不然就要收75美元。我在别的地方开始就诊，那里把我当病人看待，而不是罚单。
    May 19, 2026
    医生很友善，但大多数工作人员不知为何都显得阴阳怪气、自以为是，而且能力不足。我和他们短暂的接触让我感到非常不舒服和压力很大，所以我决定换一家医疗机构。

    我的意思是，我们有了可爱的小女儿玛雅，给五星都显得有点吝啬了，哈哈。和格里福医生合作非常愉快。他是一位严谨的科学家，如果你愿意，他会用合适的语言和你交流。真希望我能附上一张我们六个月大的小宝贝玛雅的照片给大家看看，可惜不行。感谢纽约大学朗格尼医学中心。感谢格里福医生和所有出色的工作人员。你们帮助我们实现了梦想，不管我们是否愿意。哈哈

    中国姐妹们注意了，这里有一位飞针护士Alyssa，不额外收费。 开始治疗后，您每天早上都需要来这里抽血。如果可以的话，请指定Alyssa Kosh为您服务——说实话，她是我经历过最棒的抽血师。中文里有个词叫“飞针”，指的是技术精湛、速度极快、精准到几乎感觉不到疼痛的护士。只有最优秀的护士才能被选入飞针团队，她们会在特殊情况下提供服务。我不知道她是怎么学会的，但她绝对是这门中国“功夫”的高手。

    The front-desk receptionist behaved very disrespectfully. I asked questions about my bill, and he acted as though he wanted to leave as quickly as possible. I felt extremely disrespected.
    Jan 25, 2024
    The doctors are wonderful! Get past the receptionists and schedulers if you can. I am currently in the waiting room for an 8:30 a.m. procedure that I have waited two months for, and they have already mishandled the schedule twice. I took a day off only to have them tell me they made a mistake. They told me to arrive at 7:30 a.m., and I arrived at 7:20. It is now 8:00 a.m., and they have not checked me in. The first receptionist arrived at 7:45. Now they say I must prepay for the procedure, but I do not have my HSA card because medical procedures do not usually require advance payment. They sent two preoperative emails and called to prepare me, but never mentioned payment. My procedure is in 20 minutes, and I am not prepared. The front-desk employee said she must speak with billing before letting me in. Of course, she has not done so because 10 other people are checking in and she is the only person at the desk. No one seems to see my issue as urgent. This has been an absolutely terrible experience.
    Apr 2, 2025
    The staff is incredibly rude and snappy. I understand there's repetitive on your end. But as a patient, this is all new. Do your job and have human courtesy to all these ladies who's experiencing infertility and already on edge. The doctors are incredible but the staff and technicians who draws blood are the worst people i have ever experienced. Do a favor. Go somewhere else. Why get treated by trash people?

    Dr. Blakemore is one of the best fertility doctors in the world. Highly recommended—excellent communication, high-quality care, and an incredible nursing staff. The Nomad office is more comfortable and feels like a regular doctor's office, while 53rd feels more like a hospital.
    Aug 2, 2025
    I had an excellent egg-freezing experience at NYU Langone Fertility Center. It was certainly not the least expensive option, and I initially hesitated about waiting six months for a consultation, but I am very glad I did. I felt well cared for from beginning to end. The clinic is extremely clean and modern, and everyone I encountered was kind, professional, and helpful. Dr. Blakemore was wonderful—she explained everything clearly, and her calm, approachable manner helped me relax considerably. Egg freezing can feel overwhelming, but NYU made the process as smooth and manageable as possible. I would definitely recommend them and would choose them again without hesitation.
    Sep 29, 2025
    We had a wonderful experience at NYU, especially with Dr. Brooke Hodes-Wertz. Every doctor we encountered was attentive, communicative, kind, and deeply invested in our journey. The phone system is somewhat inconvenient—you usually need to call the nurse line and wait for a return call—but once you reach a doctor or nurse, the experience is very positive.

    Do not go to this location! The doctors are wonderful, but one female nurse here was extremely unprofessional. She mocked my English because I could not understand a sentence, then joked about it with her colleagues while my husband and I were still in the next room. We could hear their conversation clearly. During the blood draw, she made several attempts and finally inserted the needle too deeply, causing severe pain. Immediately afterward, I could not move my arm. A large bruise developed, the pain lasted for days, and I had numbness from my elbow to my palm. I continued my egg-freezing treatment at NYU, but made sure not to return here and used only the 53rd Street clinic. There, I never experienced that level of pain during blood draws or any unprofessional conduct from the nursing staff.

    I highly recommend this truly genuine doctor, a rare find anywhere, especially in New York. Dr. Shaw is an outstanding professional. In my experience, she is highly knowledgeable and genuinely committed to making a difference. She combines clinical expertise with empathy and created a supportive environment for me. Highly recommend.
    Jul 13, 2025
    Dr. Jacquelyn M. Shaw is a wonderful person inside and out. She is young but highly knowledgeable. She combines strong theoretical knowledge with practical expertise and has a gentle, skilled touch. After she performed my egg retrieval at 9:50 a.m. on July 1, 2025, I had no side effects—no spotting and no pain when urinating. This was my second retrieval, so I know what to compare it with. I only wish Dr. Shaw could help me decide which protocol to use. I have called the clinic twice, but the NYU Fertility Center does not allow patients to switch doctors... Anyone who becomes Dr. Shaw's patient should consider themselves fortunate.
