Kofinas Fertility Group maintains a Staten Island location at 4855 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, New York 10312, on the main commercial thoroughfare of the island's south shore. Hylan Boulevard is the primary north-south artery running through Staten Island's most populous residential areas, and this location is accessible to patients from Tottenville, Eltingville, Annadale, Bay Terrace, and the broader south shore communities. Kofinas Fertility Group is one of the most established independent fertility practices in the New York metropolitan area, and the Staten Island location extends their reach to patients who prefer to avoid the time and logistics of crossing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge or taking the Staten Island Ferry for their fertility appointments.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Kofinas Fertility Group was founded by Dr. Peter Kofinas, a reproductive endocrinologist whose work in embryo implantation research and recurrent pregnancy loss has earned national recognition. The group's medical team includes experienced reproductive endocrinologists who are board-certified in OB/GYN and REI. The practice is known for its scientific approach to difficult-to-treat patients — particularly those with recurrent implantation failure or unexplained infertility where immune and implantation factors may play a role.
At the Staten Island location, patients benefit from the clinical protocols and physician expertise developed across the Kofinas Fertility Group's New York-area network. The team of nurses, sonographers, and embryologists supports care throughout monitoring and treatment cycles. Patients should contact the practice to confirm which physicians see patients at the Hylan Boulevard office and current scheduling availability.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Kofinas Fertility Group operates within an established IVF laboratory framework that supports their multi-location New York practice. The embryology laboratory handles fertilization, extended blastocyst culture, embryo biopsy for genetic testing, and vitrification. The practice's particular focus on recurrent implantation failure and immunological factors in implantation reflects a scientific depth that can benefit patients with complex histories.
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
Staten Island is the most car-dependent of New York City's five boroughs, and Hylan Boulevard is by far the most accessible major road on the south shore. The 4855 Hylan address is near the Staten Island Expressway interchange and the Outerbridge Crossing area, making it reachable from New Jersey as well. For south shore Staten Island residents, this location eliminates what would otherwise be a significant commute to get to quality fertility care.
Patients who have previously used Kofinas Fertility Group's other New York locations — the group also has offices in Queens and other areas — may find the Staten Island office a more convenient option for monitoring appointments if they have moved to the island or work nearby. The IVF monitoring phase requires frequent early-morning visits over approximately 10–14 days, and proximity to home is a meaningful quality-of-life factor during this demanding period.
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. Staten Island residents who work for New York City, New York State, or large private employers typically have qualifying plans. Municipal employees, hospital system employees, and many unionized workers in New York are well-covered for fertility treatment.
Kofinas Fertility Group's billing and financial counseling team can verify insurance benefits and explain coverage prior to the start of treatment. Patients with coverage gaps, or those whose plans are not subject to the NY mandate (such as self-insured ERISA plans), may access payment plan options or third-party medical financing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Kofinas Fertility Group different from other NYC-area fertility practices? Kofinas Fertility Group is particularly known for its scientific focus on implantation and recurrent pregnancy loss. Dr. Kofinas has conducted and published research on immune factors in implantation, and the practice has developed specific protocols for patients with recurrent implantation failure. For patients who have had repeated failed IVF cycles elsewhere, Kofinas may offer a different diagnostic and treatment perspective.
Can I receive care at the Staten Island office if I live in New Jersey? Yes. The south shore of Staten Island is close to New Jersey via the Outerbridge Crossing, and some New Jersey residents find the Staten Island Kofinas location more convenient than traveling into Manhattan or Brooklyn. Note that your insurance coverage and the clinic's in-network status apply regardless of your state of residence.
Does the practice treat recurrent pregnancy loss specifically? Yes, recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is one of the areas of subspecialty focus for Kofinas Fertility Group. Evaluation typically includes genetic testing of both partners, uterine assessment, thrombophilia testing, and immunological evaluation. Treatment protocols are individualized based on the findings.
What is the first step to becoming a patient at the Staten Island office? Call Kofinas Fertility Group's main scheduling line or use the patient portal at kofinasfertility.com to request a consultation. Specify that you prefer the Hylan Boulevard Staten Island location. Bring prior fertility testing results, OB/GYN records, and any records from previous fertility treatments to the initial appointment.
