Kofinas Fertility Institute

My experiences with Dr. Narine and Dr. Kofinas at the Fertility Institute have been exceptional.
I had seen several doctors before coming here, and none have come close to rivalling the care, concern and attention that I have received from all the doctors here.
I received a recommendation for a minor surgery in my first consultation with them, and although I was skeptical at first, it seems to have worked wonders. I have received such better results here than I had received at the other doctors I had been to previously, that sometimes I think the doctors here must have some magic up their sleeves. But, hey, whatever works!
I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Its just the worst office ever. I went there after a fellow doctor recommended Dr. Kofinas. When I arrived I found out that you don’t actually get to see Dr. Kofinas unless you specifically schedule him, instead you see one of the other few attending doctors he has in his office.
I saw this woman named Dr. Noureen. She was very nice and sweet. The only problem I had was she wasn’t experienced in performing a regular ultrasound, and stopped mid-​way saying sorry I don’t do this often in regards to visualizing structures via abdominal ultrasound… etc. which is fine I can understand that but the worst part…
I called the office over three times to ask for results. That’s after they sent me to another institution for outside blood-​work. They said she will call you back, she called once left a voicemail I called her back she never called back then, I call the office again they said oh, shes on vacation. I try one last time and the secretary said she will give her the message. So done. Got my results faxed to another ob/​gyn.
NIGHTMARE. NEVER EVER GOING BACK. WAITED FOREVER IN THE WAITING ROOM, by forever I mean over an hour and a half. My chair had imprints of my behind.
They should really learn how to call back patients. Go to another ob/​gyn, don’t waste your time.

Dr. Kofinas and Dr. Mastrine are amazing. I’ve been with them since January and I feel confidant that I’m receiving the best care possible. I would highly recommend the Kofinas Institute to anyone experiencing fertility issues.
While the doctors are amazing there is a level of disorganization at times that’s confusing and stressful. I have yet to receive an accurate invoice. I believe the experience of the doctors outweighs other problems with the business, so I continue to stay with the Kofinas group.
I would also like to add that the nurses and medical assistants are amazing.

Don’t see Dr. Kofinas if you actually want to get pregnant! I decided to write this review three years later only because I received an email from them today telling me that he made the NY Magazine top doctors list. What a joke! I went to see him and he ordered a ton of tests, and told me to make an appointment with him to review the findings. When I went in to get all the results, the office did not even have the curtesy of telling me that I would not actually be meeting with him. Instead I met with the most awful, negative female doctor imaginable. She told me that I would never be able to bear my own biological child and when I began to sob, she didn’t even flinch or offer me a tissue. To make a long story short, I went to see Dr. Chung at NY Presbyterian. He was amazing, great bedside manner and got be pregnant on my first try with IVF. I am now the proud mother of a 2 ½ year old beautiful healthy baby girl. Please spare yourself. I only wish I had written this sooner so that maybe I could have dissuaded someone who may have had a bad experience.

I TOO was sent for UNNECESSARY surgery. Looking to connect with the others who have dealt with this UNACCEPTABLE medical practice. The bedside manner is horrendous. I also was sent for an absurd amount of tests and put on medication that i didn’t even NEED. The worst part is that Kofinas doesn’t even take the time to check on his patients. He refuses to admit that he makes mistakes.
Misdiagnosis, unnecessary surgery, unimaginable bills, unnecessary medication and UNPROFESSIONAL!
I was tormented as well and warn you along with the others.
Hopefully we can all come together and stop this.

My wife and I set about to get her a fertility workup and since we live in the neighboorhood and heard about others having good experiences we decided to make an appointment at Kofinas. Unfortunately we had a very poor experience. We were assured that even though they were not in network we wouldn’t have a problem with insurance paying the bills. First mistake! In the end Kofinas ran many more tests then we realized we were getting (on the first visit before we realized they were wrong and insurance wouldn’t pay) which cost us an enormous amout of money. It was also very difficult to get copies of her test results that were legiable from the staff once we left Kofinas. Additionally, we had to spend even more time and money to have two tests redone since the «report» on one contradicted itself and was unclear and the second test was administered on the wrong day therefore the results were uselss. The two doctors we have since seen who reviewed the tests done by Kofinas Institute felt that the reports were sloppy raising questions instead of providing answers. Not to say that they are across the board a bad orginazation or that our experience is a typical one but I do feel that if you choose to go forward with them question all that takes place and make sure you are getting the quality medical care that they suggest they provide.
