Laboratory and Success Rates
Park Slope OB/GYN is a clinical practice, not an ART laboratory. Fertility-relevant diagnostics can be ordered through the practice and drawn at partnering labs or within the practice. For patients requiring IUI, IVF, or reproductive endocrinology subspecialty care, referral to a Brooklyn or Manhattan REI practice is standard.
Patients who proceed to ART should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
506 6th St in Park Slope is easily accessible via the F and G subway lines (4th Ave-9th St station) and multiple bus routes, as well as Citi Bike. The practice is a short walk from Prospect Park and surrounded by Park Slope's residential blocks. Women in the surrounding neighborhoods—Gowanus, Carroll Gardens, Windsor Terrace, Sunset Park—have a nearby, transit-accessible OB/GYN option. Park Slope has a large, health-conscious community with many patients who prefer a neighborhood-based practice over a Manhattan medical center.
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 fertility insurance coverage for most large-group fully-insured employer health plans, including IVF coverage for up to three egg retrieval cycles. Self-insured employer plans (ERISA) are exempt. Standard OB/GYN care—prenatal visits, annual exams, diagnostic testing—is covered under commercial health plans subject to deductibles and copays. Fertility diagnostic evaluation (such as AMH testing) may be covered under a diagnostic benefit. New York's mandate means Brooklyn patients with qualifying employer coverage face significantly lower out-of-pocket costs for IVF than patients in most other states.
