NYU Langone Fertility Center

About NYU Langone Fertility Center

NYU Langone Fertility Center (NYULFC) is one of New York City’s leading fertility clinics, operating as part of NYU Langone Health and a proud member of The Prelude Network®. Since 1992, the center has helped more than 17,000 babies be born and completed over 6,000 egg freezing cycles, backed by a team with 175+ years of combined clinical experience.

The center’s 10 board-certified reproductive endocrinologists are all certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI), and many hold Professor or Assistant Professor appointments at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. The clinic maintains three locations — Manhattan’s East Side (159 E 53rd St), NoMad (109 W 27th St), and Westchester (132 Parkway Rd, Bronxville) — serving patients across the New York City metro area.
