Garden City Obstetrics & Gynecology PC is located at 877 Stewart Ave, Suite 30, in Garden City, New York. Garden City is a village in Nassau County on Long Island, approximately 20 miles east of Midtown Manhattan. It sits at the geographic and commercial center of Nassau County, bordered by Hempstead, Mineola, East Garden City, and Carle Place. Garden City Obstetrics & Gynecology is an OB/GYN practice serving women in central Nassau County. New York State has one of the most comprehensive fertility insurance mandates in the country: effective January 2020, most large-employer health insurance plans are required to cover IVF for patients who meet eligibility criteria, including three completed egg retrievals. This mandate significantly reduces out-of-pocket costs for New York patients pursuing fertility treatment. For a full list of New York fertility resources, visit the New York fertility clinics page.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Garden City Obstetrics & Gynecology PC is an OB/GYN practice, not an ART clinic. Fertility-relevant diagnostics—ovarian reserve testing (AMH, antral follicle count), hormone panels, and imaging—can be ordered and managed at the practice level. Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is typically performed at a hospital radiology department by referral. For IUI or IVF, the practice would refer to a reproductive endocrinologist in Nassau County or the broader New York metropolitan area.
Patients who proceed to ART should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
The 877 Stewart Ave location is near the Garden City commercial center and the Nassau County hub of medical offices around NYU Winthrop Hospital and Nassau University Medical Center in adjacent Mineola. The practice is accessible by LIRR (Garden City or Mineola stations on the Hempstead or Main Line branches) and from the Meadowbrook Parkway and Northern State Parkway. Patients from Garden City, Hempstead, Mineola, East Meadow, Carle Place, and Franklin Square have a nearby OB/GYN option with Nassau County medical infrastructure.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
New York State mandates fertility insurance coverage under Insurance Law §3221(k)(6) and §4303(s). Large group fully-insured plans are required to cover IVF, including up to three egg retrieval cycles, for patients who meet eligibility criteria. The mandate applies to most employer-sponsored plans issued in New York. Self-insured employer plans (ERISA plans) are exempt from the state mandate. New York's mandate is among the most patient-favorable in the country. OB/GYN visits, prenatal care, and diagnostic lab work are covered under standard health insurance subject to deductibles and copays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does New York State require insurance companies to cover IVF? Yes. New York's fertility insurance mandate (effective January 1, 2020) requires most large-group fully-insured health plans to cover IVF, including egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Coverage is subject to medical necessity criteria and may require prior authorization. Self-insured employer plans (common at large corporations) are exempt.
Can an OB/GYN in Garden City start my fertility workup? Yes. An OB/GYN can order ovarian reserve testing (AMH, day-3 FSH/estradiol), perform a pelvic ultrasound, refer your partner for semen analysis, and evaluate conditions like PCOS or endometriosis that may affect fertility. If results suggest a need for subspecialty care or IVF, a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist follows.
Where would I deliver if I use Garden City Obstetrics & Gynecology? Garden City OB/GYN practices typically hold admitting privileges at Nassau County hospitals such as NYU Winthrop Hospital (Mineola), Good Samaritan Medical Center (West Islip), or St. Francis Hospital. Confirm hospital affiliation with the practice when establishing care.
