Clinic Details

At NYU Langone Fertility Center, we understand the challenges of building a family. Since 1992, we have helped tens of thousands of individuals and couples have children on their own timeline using the latest, most advanced fertility treatments. Our main areas of expertise include in vitro fertilization, also known as IVF, and egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation.



The Fertility Center partners with Prelude Fertility to provide comprehensive, patient-centered fertility care. Our team, including board-certified reproductive endocrinologists and infertility specialists, nurses, and laboratory professionals, focuses exclusively on the needs of people with fertility-related concerns or questions.



Egg Freezing


For more than 10 years, NYU Langone Fertility Center has helped women preserve fertility by freezing their eggs.




Pregnancy rates achieved through established fertility treatments such as IVF are only one measure of our success. We are also a world leader in egg freezing, with more than 3,000 freezing procedures and 300 thaw procedures performed to date, resulting in more than 200 live births. For more information about our pregnancy rates, visit the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART).


Our physicians pioneered techniques used in preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), tests that can reduce miscarriage risk. We help people undergoing cancer treatment and cancer survivors preserve fertility whenever possible, and offer options including gestational carriers, donor eggs, and donor sperm. The Fertility Center received the Hope Award for Achievement from RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association.


We are committed to developing innovative approaches to achieving pregnancy and preserving fertility, and we welcome a diverse patient population, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. Wherever you are in your family-building journey, the Fertility Center's physicians and staff want to help you pursue your goals.

Dr. Emily Weidenbaum is wonderful. I highly recommend her.
Jun 23, 2026
A note for Chinese women: there is an exceptionally skilled phlebotomist here named Alyssa, at no extra charge. Once treatment begins, you will need to come here every morning for a blood draw. If possible, ask specifically for Alyssa Kosh—honestly, she is the best phlebotomist I have ever had. In Chinese, there is a term meaning "flying needle," which describes a nurse whose technique is so skilled, fast, and precise that you barely feel any pain. Only the very best nurses are selected for such teams, which provide care in special circumstances. I do not know how she learned it, but she is unquestionably a master of this Chinese "kung fu."

I mean, we have our adorable daughter Maya, so even five stars feels a little stingy, haha. It was a pleasure working with Dr. Grifo. He is a rigorous scientist and, if you prefer, will communicate with you in appropriately technical language. I wish I could attach a photo of our six-month-old little Maya for everyone to see, but unfortunately I cannot. Thank you, NYU Langone Medical Center. Thank you, Dr. Grifo and all the wonderful staff. You helped make our dream come true, whether we wanted it or not. Haha.
May 19, 2026
The doctor was kind, but for some reason, most of the staff seemed passive-aggressive, condescending, and incompetent. My brief interactions with them made me extremely uncomfortable and stressed, so I decided to switch providers.
May 28, 2026
Stay away! Scheduling and canceling appointments is frustrating enough. I scheduled a month in advance, then called for several days trying to cancel so I would not be charged 75 dollars. I started treatment elsewhere, where I am treated like a patient rather than a fine to be collected.

Dr. Grifo and his team were truly exceptional throughout my fertility journey. His clinical judgment and decision-making were remarkably precise, leading to a prompt diagnosis and effective resolution of the problem. I was extremely anxious and communicated with the team through countless emails, but his coordinator, Frances, always responded promptly and compassionately and helped me stay connected with the team. Many of the nurse practitioners were also kind, knowledgeable, and experienced. Whether performing ultrasounds or reviewing blood test results, they usually provided the accurate information and reassurance I needed, which helped me feel at ease. That said, several interactions with one nurse practitioner made me uncomfortable and sometimes felt cold or lacking in empathy, which was particularly difficult during such an emotionally challenging process. Despite this, I ultimately conceived the baby I had long hoped for, thanks to Dr. Grifo and his team. Dr. Grifo is not only highly knowledgeable but also a physician with a special calling. He genuinely cares for every patient and is committed to making the world a better place through his work in reproductive medicine. I have immense respect for him, and his clinical expertise is truly remarkable. Even the FemVue procedure was virtually painless, and his interpretation of the ultrasound images was exceptionally precise. After this experience, I fully understand why he is regarded as one of the leading fertility specialists. I will always be grateful to Dr. Grifo and his outstanding team.

I received care at this clinic throughout my pregnancy, but unfortunately, every visit was disappointing. Even for the earliest morning appointments, ultrasounds were often delayed by 20 minutes to more than 1 hours. On the morning of my most recent appointment, I received a call at 7:30 asking whether I could arrive at 8:00 instead of the originally scheduled 8:30 because they expected delays. I explained that I could not arrive earlier and would come at my scheduled time. Since I had previously waited more than an hour for appointments at this clinic and knew delays were common, I did not rush and ultimately arrived 12 minutes late. To my surprise, they told me they could not see me because I was late. I expressed my disappointment to the supervisor and pointed out the inconsistency: patients are expected to understand and accept physician delays of up to an hour, yet the clinic would not accommodate my 12-minute delay, even though I might have had to wait because the clinic was already running behind. At 37 weeks pregnant, the last thing a patient seeking prenatal care should face is unnecessary stress. Healthcare professionals have a responsibility to support and care for pregnant patients, but this clinic's approach was unprofessional and lacked empathy. I hope the clinic reviews its scheduling policies and gives patients the understanding and respect they deserve.

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.
May 11, 2026
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.

“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.

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.
Mar 4, 2026
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.

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 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.
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.
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%).
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 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.
Jan 2, 2026
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 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.
Dec 2, 2025
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.
Nov 26, 2025
Although some nurses and residents are attentive, the center operates like a factory.

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!

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.

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.
Jul 16, 2025
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.

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.
