RMA of New York's Westside location is positioned at 200 West 57th Street, Suite 900, New York, New York 10019, at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 57th Street in Midtown West — steps from Carnegie Hall, Columbus Circle, and Central Park South. This location is distinct from RMA of New York's Madison Avenue office, which serves the Midtown East and upper Manhattan corridor. The 200 W 57th St address places the clinic in one of the most iconic stretches of Manhattan: the intersection of the Theater District, the Central Park South corridor, and the 57th Street luxury commercial zone. RMA of New York is one of the country's most prominent fertility practices and a major national fertility organization. Information about the Westside office is available at rmany.com/about-rmany/locations/manhattan/rma-westside.

Physicians and Clinical Team

RMA of New York's physician team at its Westside location includes some of the most accomplished reproductive endocrinologists in the country. RMA of New York (RMANY) has long been at the forefront of IVF technology, patient outcomes research, and clinical innovation in reproductive medicine. The practice has trained many of the reproductive endocrinologists who now lead fertility programs across the United States, and its physician faculty routinely publishes in top peer-reviewed journals.

Board certification, REI fellowship training, and clinical research experience are hallmarks of the RMANY physician profile. The Westside location provides access to this clinical excellence in a Midtown West setting convenient for patients on the west side of Manhattan and in the broader New York metro area. Patients should visit rmany.com to review physician profiles and confirm which physicians see patients at the 200 W 57th location.

Services and Treatments

RMA of New York's Westside location offers the full breadth of RMANY's nationally recognized fertility program:

  • In vitro fertilization (IVF) with ICSI
  • Fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles
  • Comprehensive chromosomal screening via next-generation sequencing (PGT-A)
  • Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic conditions (PGT-M) and structural rearrangements (PGT-SR)
  • Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with partner or donor sperm
  • Egg freezing for elective and medically indicated fertility preservation
  • Embryo cryopreservation and FET cycles

  • Gestational surrogacy coordination and support
  • Comprehensive fertility evaluation: AMH, FSH, AFC, semen analysis, HSG, saline sonogram

  • Recurrent implantation failure workup and advanced endometrial assessment
  • Male-factor evaluation and surgical sperm retrieval (TESA, MESA, microTESE)
  • Oncofertility consultation and urgent fertility preservation

Laboratory and Success Rates

RMANY's laboratory program is a defining element of the practice's national reputation. The network's laboratories are equipped with advanced culture systems, time-lapse imaging, comprehensive PGT platforms, and vitrification protocols that have contributed to outcomes data among the best in the country. RMANY's laboratory scientists and embryologists are active contributors to the technical literature in reproductive biology and ART methodology.

The Westside location benefits from the same laboratory infrastructure and quality standards as RMANY's other New York locations. Patients undergoing IVF at the Westside office have access to the full RMANY laboratory platform.

Patients 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 200 West 57th Street address is one of Manhattan's most centrally located and easily accessible office buildings. Seventh Avenue at 57th Street is served by the N, Q, R, and W subway lines at 57th Street–Seventh Avenue station, the A, B, C, D, and 1 trains at Columbus Circle (59th Street), and the F train at 57th Street. The proximity to Penn Station makes the location accessible to patients commuting from Long Island, New Jersey, and the Hudson Valley. Carnegie Hall directly across Seventh Avenue and the Central Park South neighborhood provide a distinguished Midtown West context.

For patients who work in Midtown West — in the media, entertainment, finance, and real estate sectors concentrated in this part of Manhattan — the Westside RMANY location allows fertility monitoring appointments to be incorporated into a normal workday routine without significant additional travel. The convenience factor is particularly meaningful for IVF patients who need to attend monitoring appointments on multiple consecutive early mornings.

RMA of New York's Westside office is differentiated from its Madison Avenue location by geography and patient population: Westside serves patients from the west side of Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen, the Upper West Side, and the broader west-side commuter catchment area, while the Madison Avenue office is more convenient for the East Side, Murray Hill, and East Midtown communities.

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's fertility insurance mandate requires most large group health plans issued in New York to cover infertility treatment including IVF. RMA of New York participates broadly with New York's major commercial insurance plans, making it accessible to most insured New Yorkers who have mandate-qualifying employer plans.

Given RMANY's scale and prominence, the practice's billing and insurance teams are highly experienced in navigating the New York insurance mandate, pre-authorization requirements, and the specific coverage terms of the city's major employer plans — including the plans offered to New York City municipal employees, state workers, and major private sector employers. Patients should confirm in-network status for the specific location and plan before scheduling. For services not covered by insurance or for patients with coverage gaps, RMANY's financial counseling team can discuss payment options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does RMA of New York's Westside location differ from the Madison Avenue office? Both are RMANY Manhattan locations, but they serve different geographic patient populations. The Westside office at 200 W 57th Street is most convenient for patients on the west side of Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen, the Upper West Side, and commuters arriving via Penn Station. The Madison Avenue office is better suited to Midtown East, the Upper East Side, and commuters from Grand Central. Both provide access to the same RMANY clinical protocols and laboratory capabilities.

Is RMA of New York a good choice for patients with complex fertility histories? Yes. RMANY has built its reputation in part on managing patients with difficult presentations — recurrent implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy loss, diminished ovarian reserve, rare genetic conditions, and severe male-factor cases. The practice's research background and advanced laboratory capabilities make it a destination for patients who have failed treatment elsewhere.

Does RMANY offer consultations for patients who want to understand their fertility without immediately starting treatment? Yes. Fertility consultations at RMANY — including ovarian reserve testing and a physician consultation — are available for patients who want to understand their reproductive status before making treatment decisions. This type of baseline fertility evaluation is a reasonable first step for patients considering egg freezing or who are curious about their fertility potential.

What is the process for a new patient at RMA Westside? New patients can schedule through rmany.com, which includes an online scheduling system for RMANY's Manhattan locations. Patients should bring prior OB/GYN records, any fertility testing results, and their insurance information to the first consultation. The initial visit includes a detailed history review, discussion of the patient's goals and timeline, and a treatment plan discussion based on whatever baseline testing has been done.
