Neway Fertility is located at 123 W 79th St, New York, NY 10024, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. The address places the practice in one of New York City's most residential and family-oriented neighborhoods, within walking distance of the 79th St stops on the 1 train (Broadway) and the B/C trains (Central Park West). The practice website is at newayfertility.com, the clinic holds a 4.2-star rating across 81 reviews, and it is listed among New York fertility clinics. New York State has a robust infertility insurance mandate that provides substantial coverage for most patients with employer-sponsored health plans, making Neway Fertility accessible to a broader cross-section of the Upper West Side and broader Manhattan patient community than would be possible without mandated benefits.

Neway Fertility draws patients from across Manhattan as well as from Brooklyn, the Bronx, Westchester, and New Jersey — all of whom can access the 79th St address via the IRT Seventh Avenue or IND Eighth Avenue subway lines without a car. The Upper West Side location puts the clinic in close proximity to a dense residential population that includes many families and individuals at prime family-building ages, and the walkable neighborhood environment distinguishes Neway from clinic clusters in Midtown or on the Upper East Side.

Physicians and Clinical Team

Neway Fertility is led by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who have completed accredited REI fellowships and hold ABOG dual board certification in Obstetrics & Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility. The practice participates in SART, which requires annual submission of cycle outcome data to an independent national database for validation and public reporting.

Neway's physician team emphasizes patient-centered communication and accessibility. The clinic has positioned itself as a practice where patients have meaningful access to their reproductive endocrinologist — a differentiator in a Manhattan market where some larger volume practices operate with a group model in which patients frequently see different physicians for monitoring visits. Clinical support staff include cycle coordinator nurses and embryologists supporting the IVF laboratory. Patients new to fertility treatment can review our guide to IVF treatment before their consultation.

Services and Treatments

Neway Fertility offers a comprehensive range of ART services:

  • In vitro fertilization (IVF) with individualized controlled ovarian stimulation
  • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for male factor and fertilization concerns
  • Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with or without ovulation induction
  • Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) for elective and medical fertility preservation
  • Embryo cryopreservation and frozen embryo transfer (FET)
  • Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A)
  • Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M)
  • Donor egg IVF through frozen egg banks and fresh donor coordination
  • Donor sperm services and therapeutic donor insemination
  • Gestational carrier coordination for patients needing surrogacy
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation and management
  • Male fertility evaluation including semen analysis and sperm DNA fragmentation testing
  • Ovarian reserve assessment (AMH, FSH, antral follicle count)
  • LGBTQ+ family-building services including reciprocal IVF and single-parent pathways

Laboratory and Success Rates

Neway Fertility's IVF laboratory supports the full embryology workflow: fertilization via conventional insemination or ICSI, extended blastocyst culture, trophectoderm biopsy for PGT when indicated, vitrification for cryopreservation, and embryo warming for frozen transfer cycles. SART membership subjects cycle outcomes to external review and publication through the SART Clinic Summary Report and the CDC ART Surveillance database.

Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.

New York City has a high concentration of fertility practices reporting to SART, which gives patients the ability to compare published outcomes across multiple Manhattan clinics. When reviewing Neway's data, filter by your specific age bracket and diagnosis type for the most meaningful comparison. Overall prognosis is driven primarily by age at retrieval and ovarian reserve.

Patient Experience

Reviews of Neway Fertility consistently describe a practice characterized by physician accessibility and a more personalized care experience than some higher-volume Manhattan competitors. Patients on the Upper West Side — and those commuting from Brooklyn or the Bronx via the subway — praise the location's convenience. The 1 train stop at 79th St and Broadway, and the B/C train stop at 79th St and Central Park West, place the clinic within a short walk from two subway trunk lines.

Several reviewers describe Neway's nursing and coordination team as highly responsive, particularly during active stimulation cycles when timely communication about monitoring results and dosing instructions is critical. The practice's scale — smaller and more boutique relative to large academic medical center fertility programs in Manhattan — is seen by many patients as a deliberate advantage, supporting continuity of relationship over the course of a multi-cycle treatment journey.

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 has a comprehensive infertility insurance mandate. Under New York Insurance Law § 3221(m) and related provisions, large group health plans (50+ employees) delivered in New York must cover the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. The mandate covers IVF for patients who meet clinical criteria, including egg freezing as a medically necessary procedure for patients facing iatrogenic infertility. Effective 2023, the mandate extended coverage to include fertility preservation for patients with a fertility-threatening medical condition.

Important limits apply: the mandate does not cover plans with fewer than 100 employees (a threshold that varies by plan year and provision), self-funded ERISA plans, Medicare, or Medicaid. Same-sex couples are explicitly covered under the New York mandate, which removed a prior marriage requirement for coverage eligibility. Patients should verify whether their specific plan meets the state mandate threshold and confirm prior authorization requirements with their insurer before beginning a cycle.

Neway Fertility's financial team assists with insurance verification and prior authorization. For patients without mandated coverage, the practice offers self-pay pricing and can provide guidance on third-party financing options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accessible is Neway Fertility's 79th St location by subway? The practice is walkable from two subway lines: the 1 train at 79th St/Broadway and the B/C trains at 79th St/Central Park West. Patients commuting from Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, or Queens can reach the 1, B, or C trains from multiple transfer points. The Upper West Side location is also accessible via the M79 SBS crosstown bus from the Upper East Side.

Does Neway Fertility's physician see all of my appointments, or will I see different doctors? Neway has positioned itself as a practice with a more continuous physician relationship model than some high-volume Manhattan competitors. Patients should confirm during the consultation what the specific on-call and monitoring coverage model looks like — i.e., whether weekend monitoring ultrasounds are covered by the same physician or a covering provider.

Does New York's fertility insurance mandate cover same-sex couples? Yes. New York's mandate, as amended, explicitly covers same-sex couples. The prior requirement that patients demonstrate a period of unprotected intercourse was revised to accommodate same-sex couples and single individuals who cannot conceive through intercourse. Patients should confirm the specific documentation or clinical criteria their insurer will use to establish eligibility under the mandate.

What is the approximate timeline from new patient consultation to first IVF transfer? After the initial consultation and baseline testing, most practices target the start of an IVF cycle in the next available menstrual cycle, typically four to eight weeks from the consultation depending on cycle timing and whether any preliminary interventions are needed. If PGT is planned, genetics lab processing adds time between retrieval and the frozen embryo transfer, commonly extending the timeline to two to three months from retrieval to transfer.
