LegacyIVF is a fertility practice located at 1625 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10128, in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Affiliated with All Care Fertility (allcarefertility.com), the practice has earned a 4.9-star rating from 37 patient reviews. The LegacyIVF brand reflects the practice's emphasis on building lasting outcomes — a legacy — for patients who come to them after sometimes long and emotionally difficult fertility journeys. The Upper East Side location places the clinic within walking distance of major subway lines and well within reach of patients across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Patients can also explore the full New York fertility clinic directory for additional options across the state.
Physicians and Clinical Team
LegacyIVF operates through the All Care Fertility network, which assembles board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with subspecialty training in IVF, donor programs, and complex ovarian stimulation cases. The physicians affiliated with the practice bring REI fellowship training and ABOG board certification, with clinical focus areas that include poor ovarian response, recurrent implantation failure, and advanced maternal age treatment.
The practice's name — LegacyIVF — speaks to a philosophy of careful, individualized medicine rather than high-volume throughput. Physicians take a consultative approach that involves reviewing prior cycle records in detail before prescribing a new protocol, with particular attention paid to what did and did not work in previous attempts. This makes LegacyIVF especially relevant for patients who have undergone multiple unsuccessful IVF cycles elsewhere and are seeking a second opinion or fresh clinical perspective.
The clinical team includes specialized reproductive endocrinology nursing staff who coordinate monitoring schedules, communicate bloodwork and ultrasound results, and serve as the patient's primary day-to-day point of contact during active cycles.

Laboratory and Success Rates
The laboratory supporting LegacyIVF cycles maintains the accreditation and quality benchmarks expected of a New York–based IVF program operating in a highly competitive market. Time-lapse embryo monitoring, extended blastocyst culture, and vitrification cryopreservation are standard components of the IVF workflow, contributing to high cryosurvival rates and reliable frozen transfer outcomes.
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 State has one of the largest concentrations of IVF cycles nationally, and SART data allows direct comparison of outcomes across Manhattan-area programs.
Patient Experience
Patient reviews of LegacyIVF emphasize the quality of physician communication and the sense that the team genuinely invests in each case's outcome. Many reviewers are patients who arrived having had discouraging experiences at larger, higher-volume fertility centers — and describe LegacyIVF as the practice where they finally felt heard. The 4.9-star average across 37 reviews is a strong signal in a borough where fertility clinics are numerous and competition for patient trust is intense.
The Third Avenue address is highly accessible via the 4/5/6 subway trains (86th Street station is steps away), the Q train, and crosstown bus lines. Multiple-floor medical buildings in this part of the Upper East Side typically offer elevator access and a professional clinical environment. Patients commuting from the Bronx, Queens, or Brooklyn via East Side subway lines will find the location convenient for early-morning monitoring appointments that must fit around work schedules.
For patients who live or work in Midtown or the Financial District, the commute via subway remains manageable and significantly easier than navigating to outer-borough or suburban fertility centers.
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 IVF coverage for employers with 100 or more employees, covering up to three cycles of IVF. This mandate significantly improves access for many New Yorkers. Patients should review their Explanation of Benefits and contact their insurer to understand plan-specific coverage limits, prior authorization requirements, and which services (ICSI, PGT, monitoring) are separately billed.
For services not covered by insurance, LegacyIVF can connect patients with medical financing options. New York's IVF mandate does not apply to self-insured employer plans, so some employees at large corporations will not have mandated coverage even though New York law applies to fully-insured plans.
