About
Eric Flisser is listed as the Medical Director on RMA of New York’s SART 2023 clinic report. That is a named legal responsibility, not an honorary title: the medical director is the person accountable for what the registry receives, including whether retrieval-start cycles are reported at all. For a patient comparing clinics, it is also the most useful thing to know about the physician who will sign your cycle, because it means the numbers on the clinic’s success-rate page passed through his desk.
His own practice sits on the surgical side of reproductive endocrinology. He trained at Yale (undergraduate, with honors), NYU School of Medicine (medical degree), OB/GYN residency at the Columbia campus of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in 1995, and REI fellowship at NYU in 2005, and he is board-certified in both obstetrics/gynecology and reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Reproductive surgery — tubal and uterine factor work — oocyte donation programs, and complex IVF cycles are his three listed services, and he is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
He also reviews for the journals that publish the evidence other clinics quote: peer reviewer for Fertility and Sterility and for the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, with a publication record that includes critical evaluations of IVF treatment claims.
Clinical Expertise
- Reproductive surgery: tubal and uterine factor correction as a named specialty, which changes what a subsequent IVF cycle needs to do
- IVF for complex cycles: his listed patient group, not routine single-factor cases
- Oocyte donation: program-level involvement, including the clinical and counseling decisions a donor cycle carries
- SART reporting accountability: the medical director of record for the registration behind this clinic’s published outcomes
- Literature gatekeeping: peer reviewer for two journals that publish ART outcome data
Why Choose Dr. Flisser
Two certifications and one signature line. Double board-certified, and named as medical director on the federal registry submission.
He reads the papers before they are published. Reviewing for Fertility and Sterility and IJGO puts him on the receiving end of the same claims he has to weigh for a patient.
Surgical and lab-side in the same career. Reproductive surgery is a listed specialty rather than an afterthought, which matters for patients whose IVF will only work if a tubal or uterine problem is handled first.
Teaching role at Mount Sinai, where he holds an assistant clinical professorship.
Professional Affiliations
Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists; member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and the New York-Metropolitan Embryologist Society. Training honors recorded in his profile include the Andrew Patterson Award for Leadership, earned as president of Yale’s Morse College Council, and a Berlex Junior Faculty Development Training Award during his NYU fellowship.
Suitable For
- Patients whose infertility has a surgical cause: tubal disease, uterine factors, or a prior operation that needs assessing before stimulation
- Women considering donor eggs: he works the donation pathway as a listed service
- Multi-cycle or high-complexity IVF patients: his stated focus group
- Patients who ask what the success numbers actually count: the person who signed the clinic’s SART submission can answer that directly
