Patient stories, in their own words.

Incredibly brilliant and extraordinarily kind – Dr. Elassar is there every step of the fertility journey, from the initial scans, treatment options and medications through all of the subsequent appointments, retrievals and transfers.

It is an emotionally taxing process and she continually lightens the burden through her warmth and compassion. […] The staff is also amazing – helpful and encouraging and extremely flexible with regards to scheduling your (many) appointments. I cannot recommend the whole practice highly enough.

My whole experience with Dr. Elassar was truly amazing. Besides being a brilliant doctor she is also an incredibly supportive and kind person. Her whole team, from the front desk to the nurses, are a bunch of really fabulous people who were always there supporting me and rooting me on.

After 2 failed IVF rounds […] it was time for a change and Dr. Elassar was a breath of fresh air. […] Dr. Elassar gives you an exceptional personalized experience and makes you feel like you are her only patient.

She did all my monitoring, she followed up with results, she did my egg retrieval and embryo transfer. She also gives hugs when needed. From the first consultation, I felt so lucky to have found Dr. Elassar. She spent quite a while with my husband and I going through almost every detail of my previous IVF cycles. […] She is truly an incredible person and doctor. I'm beyond grateful for her.

The office is small, so the whole staff knows you by name – there is never any trouble getting appointments or prescriptions, and they are very responsive to emails and calls as well. The atmosphere is relaxed (as much as it can be), and you never feel as if you are being rushed out the door.

[…] She performs every scan and every procedure, follows up immediately with results and next steps […]. She knew my file by heart within the first few visits, and at every appointment, she was interested not only in discussing treatment steps but also how I was doing and how my husband was doing. She is very matter-of-fact in her approach, but she also makes us laugh every visit, and continually makes us feel like we are her only patients.

My husband and I decided to see a fertility specialist just for peace of mind after we had been trying for six months with no success. We picked Dr. Elassar based on her reviews and how close her office was to my work, and I am so grateful every day that we did. From the first appointment through our most recent egg retrieval, she has been nothing short of wonderful through every stage – walking us through each step of the process […] and providing endless support.

Her warmth and compassion over the past ten months we have been undergoing treatment have made the entire process so much more bearable – at every visit (and there have been many), she greets me with a smile, and appointments have become a welcome break in the work day rather than something to dread. She is incredibly kind and brilliant and we are so thankful for her.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am to Dr. Elassar and her team of angels. […] From the moment I called for an appointment I was treated with care and compassion.

Dr Elassar herself is incredibly talented, caring and warm. Her staff are gentle, efficient and mavericks with needles (thank you Racquel!). I did not have an easy path, but NYC IVF was with me literally holding my hand every step of the way. And it made all the difference. I am a mom to a perfect little girl thanks to Dr. Elassar. I could not recommend her more!

Dr Elassar is in every detail and closely manages everything. She does all the scans herself and clearly communicates what she sees. She is also always interested in the wellbeing of the patient, follows up after every treatment.

[…] She clearly explained that we may need a few rounds to adjust the medication for better stimulation and when we got to the right meds all went as planned with good implantation. Unfortunately the pregnancy did not last past 9 weeks but we will continue to try again with Dr Elassar. We are lucky to have her and hope to get the result we want soon.

Excellent clinic. It feels like a personalized boutique experience […] Also, they are careful to give a lot of individual attention to each person. I have never felt rushed, and there are never more than 1-2 people in the waiting room.

They go over everything in great detail and help you with whatever you need, whether it's ordering prescriptions or working with your insurance.

Not only is Dr. Alyaa Elassar amazingly competent and knowledgeable, she is very caring and puts the patient's well-being (mental, physical, financial) above everything else. She takes the time to explain things in great detail, and customizes personalized treatment to one's specific needs […] Dr. Elassar knows my file inside out, and despite my complicated medical history (thyroid disease) and age (early 40s) she did not write me off and went to great lengths customizing protocols for me. I was able to get pregnant because of the protocols she designed for me. She is very hands-on and has a no-nonsense down-to-earth approach, which is very refreshing and reassuring. You immediately get the feeling that you're in very good hands. […] I recommend her wholeheartedly!

She is kind, incredibly smart, caring, and personable. She runs a timely office and sees you at each visit. She explains each step of the process in detail so you know exactly what to expect.

Before I started on the hormone injections, she gave me a calendar with our daily plan for the next 12 days and we adjusted it at each visit. On the day of the retrieval, she held my hand while they administered the anesthesia and was right there when I woke up. […] I'm just sad that I can't have Dr. Elassar as my doctor throughout pregnancy. She is that wonderful.

Being a patient of Dr. Elassar was a treat. It's rare you get so much one-on-one time with a doctor. She cares about every single one of her patients equally and is always 100% prepared for all scenarios.

She was incredibly knowledgeable and versatile. Throughout the process, my body didn't always cooperate but Dr. Elassar was always ready to adjust the treatment as needed and to respond to many of the unknowns. She was always 100% honest with me in regards to treatment and outcomes. She also always followed up, it was one of my favorite traits of hers.

Dr. Elassar was my sole doctor contact throughout my entire treatment. She was detailed in her explanations and ALWAYS followed up when she said she would. […] She was kind and considerate of everything we were going through but firm with her recommendations if we needed to change anything in our day to day life.

They tailor the treatment to each patient in lieu of “the standard of care” and standard protocols. The location is key, and they will make the hours work. Each person who worked at the clinic knew exactly who my husband and I were, they knew my schedule pretty well and were really patient with us.

We were given pretty personalized care. Any of my concerns were addressed by all the staff. They were extremely supportive.

Dr. Elassar worked with my schedule and was extremely accommodating. […] When my cycle start was delayed, she was able to fix the plan and explain all the upsides and downsides. She is very realistic and explains the data, the research, and how it applies to me, including things that are specific to my ethnic background. She is attentive, research and data driven […] I wish I went to her from the beginning.
