Dr. Sitara Ravikumar, Estados Unidos

Dr. Tortoriello is wonderful. He performs every scan himself and gives you as much time as possible to ask questions and discuss whatever you need. He is positive but also realistic and honest in his assessments. He responds quickly to emails and calls and provides truly personalized care. I absolutely recommend Dr. T, 10/10.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was at Sher. We had the privilege of working with Dr. Drew Tortoriello. We had previously been at another clinic and were not getting the treatment we needed and had felt like the doctor never had time to address our concerns even after failed treatments. We decided to travel to NYC from Michigan to work with Dr. Tortoriello, and it was the best decision we ever made. Dr. Tortoriello was in contact with us constantly. He made us feel taken care of and listened to. He answered our emails personally and promptly, and it was always he who delivered our treatment plan and results. When we traveled to the clinic, it was the doctor who did our ultrasounds and met with us. He was kind, understanding, and really listened. The treatment was much more tailored to our needs and specialized than our previous clinic. In less than a year and on our first transfer at Sher, we became pregnant for the first time. I am currently 11 weeks. We are so grateful for Dr. Tortoriello and all the staff at Sher. They made our dreams come true. I would recommend them to everyone.

From my consultation through egg retrieval day, my experience at Sher Fertility was simply amazing. The staff/doctors accommodated my work schedule and helped me get in and out efficiently without unexpected issues. Every concern was addressed promptly. Dr. Ravikumara and Dr. Tortoriello worked together to ensure that egg retrieval took place while my family was in town to support me. I am grateful for the experience with such a wonderful clinic and even better staff/providers.

Dr. Sher is extremely knowledgeable. He has an excellent manner with patients, and his only priority is helping you with his resources, extensive experience, and kind staff. Dr. Sher is also always available to speak with you. 10 out of 10—highly recommended!

I cannot recommend Sher Fertility and Dr. Tortoriello (Dr. T!) highly enough. Doctors like Dr. T are rare, and his communication is first-rate. He may not want me to say this, but I once emailed him at 11 p.m. on a Friday and he replied before midnight. Whenever I had a question, I spoke with him directly. In four years, I never had to call another doctor or a nurse hotline. The true mark of a good doctor is that with every transfer, he changed the next one based on what he had learned. I never felt we were simply doing the same thing repeatedly. Each time, he changed or adjusted something and worked out what might succeed. It worked! I was genuinely sad when he told me my OB would take over and that it was my last appointment. We have our rainbow baby entirely because of Dr. T.

I have worked in the fertility field for several years, and after unsuccessful treatments including intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF), I am glad I found Dr. Sher and his team. They are knowledgeable, compassionate toward patients, and provide thoughtful care. They listen and consider the patient's overall situation. I have not yet undergone treatment with them, but my first impression has been very positive, and I look forward to continuing so that under their treatment plan I may receive my own gift—bringing a life into this world.

My husband and I came to Sher Fertility Solutions for fertility testing so we could understand our options for trying to have a child. I am 36, so I was concerned that my ovarian reserve and egg quality might be low. We first met Dr. Sitara Ravikumar on Zoom and then saw her each time we came to the clinic. Dr. Ravikumar explained the possible fertility options very clearly and thoroughly, in a way that made us feel calm and supported from beginning to end. She and the team at Sher Fertility Solutions were very helpful and efficient. We felt well cared for. Soon after receiving the results, we found out we were pregnant. It was a wonderful surprise because our results had shown some abnormalities. When we emailed Dr. Ravikumar to say we thought I was pregnant, she readily arranged additional bloodwork to confirm the pregnancy and reassure us that it was implanted in the correct location. She answered all our questions and was very supportive in helping us find an OB-GYN we liked. We are very pleased with the care Sher Fertility provided.

Sher Fertility will always hold a special place in my heart because of their compassion, amazing communication, and the miracle they created. From the moment I spoke with Dr. Tortoriello, he made me feel calm and that pregnancy was possible. He answered emails late at night and on weekends with the results we were anxiously awaiting. Everyone at the front desk was wonderful—Casey, I love you—and my nurse Natasha was absolutely the best! The billing department was very clear, with no last-minute surprises, and always made sure they did the legwork with the insurance company for you. Dr. T listened to all my concerns, performed every test that could help me succeed, and tried different protocols. Because of him, I am now six months pregnant. I remember how calm he was when I was panicking because I did not get many blastocysts. He told me, "It only takes one," and he was right. Sher Fertility does not feel like a factory or hospital. It is the most personalized place to go when you are at your most vulnerable. In his office is a Gandhi quote that says, "It always seems impossible until it's done." Thank you so much, Dr. Tortoriello, for making the seemingly impossible possible. I love you all. Love, Missy and Eddie

I am truly pleased that I chose the right clinic and Dr. Ravikumar. The clinic is very clean, and the staff are kind and professional. I really wanted a doctor who listens without interrupting, offers options and good advice, and is willing to work at your pace. That is Dr. Ravikumar. I am very satisfied with her work.

We have just welcomed our beautiful second miracle baby thanks to Dr. Sher and my local doctor in Dubai, who developed the treatment plan together. Dr. Sher was knowledgeable and helpful, and Patti was invaluable—she always made sure we could reach Dr. Sher when needed!

Dr. Sher is wonderful. He takes time to explain every possible cause and answer all your questions. He showed that he cared about me, and I am glad I had the opportunity to meet him. I trust that he and his team will support me through treatment.

I am very pleased with Dr. T and the nurses—Natasha, Bushra, and now Sherry. Communication across the team is excellent. My first cycle produced encouraging results, and I hope my future cycles and transfer will as well! If you do not live near Sher, local monitoring is also easy to manage.

I met with Dr. Tortoriello. She was very knowledgeable and helped me discuss treatment options as an older maternal-age patient. I have not formally begun treatment, but I felt the consultation was very worthwhile. Thank you Amanda S.

Dr. Tortoriello is kind and passionate about his work. During our brief video consultation, we felt cared for and heard. We look forward to becoming patients at Sher.

I highly recommend Dr. Tortoriello at Sher. Dr. Tortoriello is approachable, supportive, understanding, and open to hearing my views. My son was born this year, and I am so glad to have worked with Dr. Tortoriello and the Sher team to bring him into the world.

Dr. T and his team are amazing. In 2023, we traveled to New York for an egg retrieval with Dr. T and had a transfer later that year. The transfer failed, which was very upsetting, but Dr. T's thorough preparation beforehand made me feel that we had done everything possible. Dr. T and the nurses were very kind throughout, and you could feel that they cared about us. A few months later, I conceived naturally—an incredible surprise after three years of trying—just before I was due to begin another transfer. You could feel that they were genuinely happy for us. Our son is now 13 months old, and we plan to have an embryo transfer at Sher using our last frozen normal embryo. We considered shipping the embryo, but ultimately decided to return to New York because I trust no clinic more than Dr. T and his team.

I appreciate his consultation and all the information he provided. However, I was dissatisfied that he disregarded my personal wishes and insisted that certain treatments were mandatory. I had also completed half of the blood tests he recommended, yet he refused to work with me on the testing. His medical ethics are poor, and I will not work with him again.

I am very grateful to Dr. T and the entire Sher Fertility team for their outstanding work. My IVF journey was very successful, and I now have a beautiful, healthy daughter!

I cannot recommend this practice enough for anyone looking for a truly personalized, boutique experience. Dr. Tortoriello and Dr. Ravikumar are incredibly approachable and communicative; they made me feel supported and informed every single step of the way. What really sets this practice apart is how hands-on they are. Unlike many other offices, Dr. Tortoriello and Dr. Ravikumar perform every scan themselves. You aren’t just handed off to a technician you’ve never met-you know exactly who is doing your procedure and who is looking at your results in real-time. There is no guesswork and no 'assembly line' feel here. It is a transparent, high-touch environment where you are treated with genuine care by the experts themselves. It’s rare to find this level of doctor involvement, and it made all the difference in my experience

It is rare to find someone who takes the time to listen, and Dr. Ravikumar is exceptional. She was my OB-GYN and delivered my first child, and I am deeply grateful for her warmth and expertise. Under her care, I always felt safe and supported. She makes you feel understood without judgment and cares equally about your emotional and physical well-being. When she moved into fertility medicine, I was initially sad to lose her as my regular doctor, but it turned out to be a blessing when I had difficulty trying for a second child. Her guidance was essential throughout my fertility journey. She was thorough and guided me step by step, and thanks to her expertise, we succeeded on our first attempt. As a Black woman, finding a doctor who truly understands your concerns and provides such attentive care is vital. I recommend her to everyone I know. She is truly a gem in New York healthcare and an outstanding physician.

I had a wonderful experience at Sher. Before choosing Sher, I consulted four other fertility clinics, and Sher impressed me the most. I was treated by both Dr. Tortoriello and Dr. Ravikumar. They were very thorough, answered my questions patiently at every visit, and took time to listen without making me feel rushed. I completed three egg-freezing cycles here, and each protocol felt highly personalized. They did not use the same approach every time; they adjusted it based on my response, and the results improved with each cycle. I especially appreciated that every ultrasound was performed by a doctor. They responded quickly to emails and phone questions and promptly sent ultrasound and lab results, making the process much easier. All the clinic staff were wonderful as well. You feel welcome here, not like just another patient. I also like that they use VIOLET AI, which provides not only the number of mature eggs frozen but also more information about egg quality. I am so glad I chose them :)

Thanks Patti for your knowledge and giving us hopes since our first phone conversation, after we have been already been rejected and failed at two other local IVF clinics for being in our 40s. Thank you Dr Tortoriello and team for making me one of your excellent statistics - a healthy genetically tested embryo after one egg retrieval and live birth after one transfer! In addition, even with traveling out-of-state, financially it was still affordable compared to the fees of the local clinics.

Dr. T treated us very well and helped us tremendously. He patiently and thoroughly answered all our questions and concerns and was thoughtful and compassionate. He is wonderful, and so is his team! Thank you!

Despite costly preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) testing, Sher Fertility NYC gave us a severely disabled child and then disappeared for 12 years. We entrusted everything to Sher Fertility NYC at 425 Fifth Avenue, enduring years of painful IVF cycles and spending tens of thousands of dollars. After our healthy son was born in 2010, we returned to try for a second child and paid a substantial amount for PGD testing to screen each embryo for genetic disorders. We preferred a girl but would have been delighted with either sex. We had only one female embryo. Despite our tears and fear of twins, Dr. T insisted on transferring two embryos, saying there was less than a 2% chance both would implant. Both implanted. Our twin son was born disabled. In 2015, he was diagnosed with CTNNB1 haploinsufficiency, causing severe cerebral palsy, inability to speak, and lifelong wheelchair dependence. This is exactly the type of genetic disorder their PGD testing was supposed to detect. Afterward, there was no follow-up or contact. For years, we repeatedly emailed Dr. Geoffrey Sher and the Manhattan office in desperation. We never received a response or even an apology. If you are considering Sher Fertility Solutions, be aware that this can happen, and if it does, they may disappear completely. We wish we had chosen another provider. (Verified patient, treated 2010-2013)

I had an excellent experience at Sher Fertility Solutions in New York and am deeply grateful for the care I received throughout my egg-freezing cycle. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and highly supportive. They patiently explained every step, making a potentially overwhelming process clear and reassuring. Dr. Ravikumar was especially outstanding. She worked closely with me to maximize the outcome of my egg retrieval while always prioritizing my health. Nurse Sherry was also very helpful during ovarian stimulation and made everything go smoothly! Thanks to their expertise, my egg-freezing cycle was very successful, and I felt calm and confident throughout. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering fertility preservation. You will receive skilled and compassionate care here.

My IVF journey with Dr. T truly changed my life. I began in 2021, and after my second IVF cycle, I welcomed my daughter in 2022. The path was not easy, but Dr. T's constant encouragement and support carried me through the moments when I wanted to give up. A few years later, I returned for an embryo transfer, and now I am holding my five-month-old son. Looking back, I realize how much the experience depended on the people around me. From Dr. T to every nurse and staff member, I always felt genuinely cared for, not merely treated as a patient. Their kindness, patience, and reassurance helped me feel less alone, even on the hardest days. IVF is not easy, but having the right team makes all the difference. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. T and the entire team for helping me have two beautiful children. If you are looking for a clinic that truly cares and supports you, I sincerely recommend starting with a consultation here. Thank you for giving me my family. 💛

There is no way for my husband and me to fully express our gratitude for our beautiful daughter!! Dr. Sher is truly a legend and provides world-class care!! Dr. Sher and Dr. Tortoriello are both amazing and at the forefront of reproductive health care!! They provide personalized recommendations that are crucial to success! Transferring our care to Dr. Sher and Dr. Tortoriello was the best decision we ever made! We truly wish we had started our journey with them. By the time we sought the excellent care at Sher Fertility, we had already visited 3 other supposedly reputable clinics and felt hopeless after the disappointing results. We chose the other clinics because they were closer to home, and traveling to New York initially seemed intimidating. We are so thankful that we kept going and achieved the most amazing results with Dr. Sher and Dr. Tortoriello!! Dr. Sher reviewed our case extensively and provided answers and much-needed hope!! The entire team at Sher Fertility is at the forefront of research and provides the most advanced reproductive care! They also assess immunologic needs and work through every situation. We greatly appreciate Dr. Sher, Dr. Tortoriello, Dr. DePinho, Raifa, Vildan, Patti, Irana, Bushra, Ketevani, and the many other amazing, caring, and highly skilled staff members! If you are on a similar journey, do not give up. We highly recommend Sher Fertility!!

If you have a complex fertility case, stop searching and schedule a consultation with Sher Fertility Solutions. It was the best decision I made during my fertility journey. I have Stage IV endometriosis and immune dysregulation, making my case far from straightforward. Before Sher, I received treatment at two other highly advertised "elite" fertility clinics. Despite multiple IVF cycles, they failed to produce a single embryo for transfer. Looking back, I realize I was receiving standard protocols rather than care tailored to my medical conditions. Everything changed when Dr. Sher, Dr. Ravikumar, and Dr. Tortoriello took over my case. Their approach was completely different. They carefully reviewed my history, explained the reasoning behind every recommendation, and designed a treatment plan specifically for me. Their expertise in managing complex fertility cases is truly exceptional. I especially want to thank Dr. Ravikumar. She is an outstanding physician—brilliant, compassionate, and incredibly thorough. She always took the time to answer my questions, never made me feel rushed, and genuinely cared about finding the best possible approach for my case. Her kindness and dedication made an incredibly stressful journey much easier. I also want to give special thanks to Jessica Ortiz on the financial team. Fertility treatment can be overwhelming, especially when navigating insurance and costs, but Jessica consistently went above and beyond to find solutions, explain every option, and make the process as smooth as possible. She was always responsive, resourceful, and genuinely committed to helping us. The excellence at Sher extends far beyond the physicians. Every nurse, coordinator, and support staff member was knowledgeable, compassionate, organized, and easy to reach. Throughout the entire process, I always felt heard, supported, and cared for. Sher Fertility also offers some of the most advanced reproductive treatments available, including sclerotherapy for endometriomas, an innovative procedure provided by very few fertility clinics that played an important role in my treatment. Even though I live in Florida, I will travel to New York again for my next IVF cycle because I trust this team completely. The quality of care, medical expertise, communication, and truly personalized approach are unlike anything I experienced elsewhere. If you have experienced failed IVF cycles or have endometriosis, immune issues, or any other complex fertility diagnosis, I wholeheartedly recommend Sher Fertility Solutions.
