Staten Island Reproductive Medicine, PLLC operates at 1441 South Avenue, Suite 201 in Staten Island, New York — doing business under affiliation with the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science (IRMS), one of the major fertility networks in the tri-state area. South Avenue is a commercial and light-industrial corridor in the mid-island area of Staten Island, centrally located between the Goethals Bridge to the south and the Staten Island Expressway interchange to the north. This location makes the practice accessible to patients from throughout the island and from nearby New Jersey communities across the Goethals Bridge. The entity and the operating brand represent distinct legal and patient-facing identities: Staten Island Reproductive Medicine, PLLC is the legal professional entity (a professional limited liability company), while IRMS is the clinical brand under which the practice operates and markets its services to patients. For a broader overview of fertility clinics in New York, see the state directory.
Physicians and Clinical Team
IRMS (Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science) is one of the most established fertility groups in New Jersey and New York. Its physicians are board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who have completed three-year ACGME-accredited REI fellowships following residency in obstetrics and gynecology. The dual-board REI subspecialty certification from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology represents the highest level of formal training in fertility medicine.
The Staten Island Reproductive Medicine, PLLC entity operates under this IRMS clinical umbrella. Patients receive care from IRMS-affiliated physicians who bring the protocols, laboratory standards, and clinical expertise of the broader IRMS organization to Staten Island. The PLLC structure in New York indicates a physician-owned professional entity with limited liability protection — a common organizational form for specialty practices.
IRMS has historically been associated with Saint Barnabas Medical Center in New Jersey, giving physicians within the IRMS network access to hospital-based surgical and inpatient resources as needed. This is particularly relevant for patients whose fertility treatment intersects with more complex gynecologic or surgical needs.

Laboratory and Success Rates
IRMS maintains its own embryology laboratories within its network. The laboratory infrastructure supports ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), extended embryo culture to blastocyst stage, embryo biopsy for PGT, and vitrification (rapid cryopreservation). As part of an established network, IRMS has laboratory quality assurance programs and protocol standardization across its locations.
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 South Avenue location in Staten Island's mid-island area is well-positioned for patients driving from anywhere on the island. The Staten Island Expressway (I-278) interchange is nearby, and South Avenue connects north-south through the island's commercial spine. Surface parking in the business park complex is generally straightforward and free, which is a meaningful contrast to the parking challenges at Manhattan-based fertility centers.
IRMS's presence on Staten Island through this PLLC entity represents the kind of network expansion that allows a well-resourced fertility group to serve a geographically distinct borough population. Patients who prefer to remain within the IRMS clinical ecosystem — perhaps because their physician is known from prior treatment at an IRMS New Jersey location, or because they live near the Goethals Bridge — will find this location a practical access point.

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 comprehensive fertility coverage for large-group fully-insured health plans, including IVF. Staten Island patients enrolled in a New York-regulated employer plan are entitled to covered infertility treatment under the mandate — one of the broadest such mandates in the country. Self-insured ERISA plans are exempt from this mandate.
Because IRMS is headquartered in New Jersey and also operates New Jersey locations, patients should clarify with the billing team which entity handles billing for Staten Island services and whether a New York or New Jersey insurance mandate applies to their specific plan. In most cases, the state where the insurance contract is issued governs which mandate applies, but patients enrolled in multi-state employer plans should verify with their HR department.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the relationship between Staten Island Reproductive Medicine PLLC and IRMS? Staten Island Reproductive Medicine, PLLC is the legal professional entity registered in New York State that operates under the IRMS (Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science) brand. This structure — a local PLLC carrying a recognized fertility network brand — is common when a fertility group expands to serve a new geographic area. Patients receive care under IRMS clinical protocols and from IRMS-affiliated physicians, even though the billing and legal entity is the PLLC.
Is IRMS affiliated with a specific hospital for surgical procedures? IRMS has historically had affiliations with Saint Barnabas Medical Center in New Jersey. For the Staten Island location, patients requiring hospital-based procedures should ask which hospital the physicians have privileges at and whether that hospital accepts their insurance plan.
Can I transfer my embryos from a New Jersey IRMS location to the Staten Island practice? Within the same network, embryo transfers between locations are generally logistically feasible. Patients should contact the IRMS patient services team to discuss the specifics of embryo transfer between locations, including consent requirements, transport logistics, and any administrative steps.
How do I know which state's IVF mandate applies to my coverage? Typically, the state where your health insurance policy is issued governs which state mandates apply. If your employer is in New Jersey but your plan is a New York-regulated plan, NY mandates may apply. Verify with your insurance plan's member services and HR department to confirm which fertility mandate — New York's or New Jersey's — applies to your benefits.
