Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine is a board-certified reproductive endocrinology practice located at 6010 Bay Parkway, Suite 501, in Brooklyn, New York — in the Bensonhurst and Gravesend neighborhoods on Brooklyn's southwestern waterfront-adjacent corridor. Operating under the website genesisfertility.com, Genesis serves one of the most densely populated urban fertility patient communities in the country: Brooklyn is home to more than 2.5 million people, representing extraordinary ethnic and cultural diversity. The Bay Parkway location is embedded in a predominantly Italian American, Chinese American, and Orthodox Jewish community, and Genesis Fertility has built its practice around serving these communities with sensitivity, expertise, and cultural awareness. New York State has one of the most comprehensive fertility insurance mandates in the country. For other New York fertility clinic options, visit the New York state directory.
Physicians and Clinical Team
Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine is led by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with fellowship training in REI from accredited programs. The practice's physicians are experienced in the full spectrum of fertility conditions — from polycystic ovary syndrome and ovulatory disorders to tubal factor, male factor infertility, diminished ovarian reserve, and recurrent pregnancy loss. The team at Genesis has developed particular expertise in serving the diverse Brooklyn patient base, including patients from the Orthodox Jewish community for whom halachic considerations affect certain aspects of fertility treatment (such as timing of procedures around Shabbat and Jewish holidays, and specific concerns related to semen collection and embryo handling). The clinical team includes fertility nurses and medical assistants who coordinate cycle monitoring and support patients throughout the treatment process, as well as embryologists who manage the IVF laboratory.
Genesis's Bay Parkway location has become a trusted community resource for Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Bath Beach, Borough Park, and Flatbush residents who value having fertility care available within Brooklyn rather than requiring subway or driving trips to Manhattan or Long Island.

Laboratory and Success Rates
The IVF laboratory at Genesis Fertility and Reproductive Medicine supports the complete cycle of assisted reproduction — from oocyte retrieval and fertilization through extended embryo culture, trophectoderm biopsy for PGT, and vitrification. Brooklyn's high-density patient community generates substantial clinical volume for the practice, which is relevant to laboratory quality — higher-volume embryology teams tend to develop and maintain technical proficiency through consistent practice. Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
When reviewing CDC and SART data, patients should search under the clinic's registered NPI. As with all published outcomes data, interpretation should account for the patient mix — age distribution, proportion of donor egg cycles, complexity of cases treated — to make meaningful comparisons.
Patient Experience
Bay Parkway (also written as Bay Pkwy) is one of southwestern Brooklyn's major north-south arterials, running from Bensonhurst through Bath Beach toward the Belt Parkway and the Gravesend Bay waterfront. The 6010 Bay Pkwy address — Suite 501 — is in a professional office building accessible from the D train (18th Avenue, 20th Avenue, and Bay Pkwy stations are nearby) and from the B1 and other local bus routes. For car-traveling patients, Bay Pkwy is accessible from the Belt Parkway (exits at Bay Pkwy or Kings Highway) and from Ocean Parkway.
The Bensonhurst and Gravesend neighborhoods have historically been home to large Italian American and Chinese American communities, and in recent decades have also seen growth in the Orthodox Jewish population from nearby Borough Park and Flatbush. The practice's cultural competency in serving this diverse patient base — including knowledge of halachic concerns in fertility treatment, Mandarin-speaking staff considerations, and Italian-speaking patient accommodation where relevant — is a meaningful differentiator in a neighborhood fertility practice context.
Brooklyn's fertility patients benefit from having a local REI option that reduces the time and cost of commuting to Manhattan clinics. Frequent monitoring appointments (often daily during the final days of an IVF stimulation cycle) are significantly less burdensome when they can be completed within Brooklyn.
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 one of the country's most comprehensive fertility insurance mandates. Large group health insurance plans in New York — those covering 100 or more employees for most plan types — are required to cover the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, including IVF. New York's mandate covers a meaningful number of IVF cycles and has made fertility treatment financially accessible for a broad range of New Yorkers who would otherwise face tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs.
Brooklyn residents who work for large New York City employers — in healthcare, finance, education, government, or technology — are often covered by large group plans subject to the mandate. The Genesis billing team can help verify insurance benefits, assist with pre-authorization, and explain what documentation individual insurers require. For patients whose plans are self-funded ERISA plans or otherwise exempt from the state mandate, the practice's financial counseling resources can explain pricing and available payment options. New York City also has a Medicaid fertility coverage program for qualifying low-income residents that covers some fertility services; patients may wish to ask about this if they receive Medicaid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Genesis Fertility accommodate religious concerns about IVF for Orthodox Jewish patients? Yes. Genesis Fertility has experience working with patients from the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn and is familiar with halachic considerations that affect fertility treatment — including concerns about semen collection, embryo handling, Shabbat scheduling of procedures, and questions about embryo disposition. Patients with specific religious concerns are encouraged to raise them at the initial consultation so that the clinical team can discuss accommodations and, where helpful, connect patients with a religious authority familiar with fertility medicine.
Is the Bay Pkwy location convenient for patients traveling from outside Bensonhurst? Yes. Bay Pkwy is accessible by D train and multiple bus routes, making it reachable from across Brooklyn and from the other boroughs. Patients from Flatbush, Borough Park, Sheepshead Bay, and even Staten Island (via the Belt Parkway and Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge) can reach the clinic with manageable commutes. The office building at 6010 Bay Pkwy has a suite layout appropriate for a medical office, and parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood.
What is the halachic IVF process for couples with religious concerns about embryo creation? Some Orthodox Jewish patients and rabbinical authorities have specific concerns about creating embryos that may not be transferred. Questions about the number of embryos created, what happens to unused embryos, and the ethics of genetic testing can be complex from a halachic perspective. Genesis Fertility's clinical team can discuss their protocols and experience working with patients who have sought guidance from their rabbis, and may be able to connect patients with resources in the Brooklyn religious community who are familiar with halachic approaches to assisted reproduction.
Does Genesis Fertility offer IVF for same-sex couples and single parents? Yes. Genesis Fertility provides family-building services for same-sex couples, single parents by choice, and patients of all relationship structures and family configurations. Services relevant to LGBTQ+ family building — including donor sperm coordination, reciprocal IVF for same-sex female couples, and gestational carrier protocols — are part of the practice's offerings. The clinical team can explain the specific protocols applicable to each family configuration at a new patient consultation.
