Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York's Downtown location at 594 Broadway, Suite 1011, is situated in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood — one of the network's satellite offices designed to bring RMA of New York's fertility expertise closer to patients in Lower Manhattan, Tribeca, the Financial District, and nearby Brooklyn. Patients researching fertility care across New York State can view additional providers in the New York fertility clinics directory.

RMA of New York is one of the most recognized names in the New York fertility market, known for its research-driven approach, strong academic affiliations, and a reputation for accepting complex cases that other practices may not. The Downtown location extends the network's geographic reach into one of Manhattan's most densely populated residential and professional corridors.

Physicians and Clinical Team

RMA of New York's physician team consists of fellowship-trained reproductive endocrinologists who rotate across the network's multiple Manhattan and outer-borough locations. The Downtown SoHo clinic benefits from this shared physician model — patients have access to the full depth of RMA's clinical expertise regardless of which location they primarily attend.

RMA of New York has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and maintains active research programs in embryo development, endometrial receptivity, preimplantation genetic testing, and the optimization of IVF protocols for patients with complex diagnoses including recurrent implantation failure and poor ovarian response.

The support team includes reproductive nurses, embryologists, genetic counselors, ultrasound technicians, and patient care navigators experienced in supporting patients through the full arc of fertility treatment — from initial evaluation through successful delivery.

Services and Treatments

RMA of New York's Downtown location offers access to the network's comprehensive service menu:

  • Initial fertility consultation and diagnostic workup
  • Ovarian reserve assessment (AMH, FSH, antral follicle count)
  • Male fertility evaluation and semen analysis
  • Ovulation induction (oral and injectable protocols)
  • Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
  • In vitro fertilization (IVF) — fresh and frozen transfer
  • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
  • Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-SR)
  • Egg cryopreservation — elective and oncofertility
  • Frozen embryo transfer (FET)
  • Donor egg recipient cycles (fresh and frozen)
  • Gestational carrier coordination and third-party reproduction support
  • LGBTQ+ family-building pathways
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation and management

RMA of New York's LGBTQ+ and third-party reproduction programs are among the most developed in the New York market, making the Downtown location a welcoming option for patients pursuing family building through donor or carrier arrangements.

Laboratory and Success Rates

RMA of New York's laboratory infrastructure serves all network locations. The centralized high-complexity laboratory maintains advanced culture systems, vitrification cryopreservation, time-lapse embryo monitoring, and in-house PGT capabilities. The network's scale supports consistent laboratory quality across its Manhattan and outer-borough sites.

Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.

RMA of New York's published outcomes data is among the most closely scrutinized in the New York market given the network's volume and prominence. When reviewing data, consider cumulative live birth rate per retrieval rather than per-transfer statistics for the most comprehensive picture.

Patient Experience

The 594 Broadway location in SoHo occupies a professional office building on one of Lower Manhattan's most walkable streets. The clinic is accessible via the N/Q/R/W (Canal St), 1 (Canal or Houston), and 6 (Spring St) subway lines, and is well-positioned for patients living in SoHo, Tribeca, the West Village, Nolita, and commuters from Brooklyn.

RMA of New York has invested in patient experience through its online portal, early morning monitoring appointment slots, and clear communication systems for cycle day instructions. The Downtown location may be a more comfortable option for patients who live or work in Lower Manhattan compared to traveling to RMA's Midtown or Lexington Avenue locations.

As with all multi-site networks, patients should confirm which physical location they will attend for monitoring, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer — and whether the Downtown SoHo site handles all of these or refers some procedures to other RMA Manhattan locations.

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 coverage for three IVF cycles per lifetime for patients diagnosed with infertility on fully-insured large group health plans. RMA of New York participates in major New York insurance networks and has dedicated financial counselors experienced in New York mandate compliance, prior authorization, and insurance verification.

ERISA self-funded employer plans are exempt from New York's mandate. New York City-based employees are particularly likely to have ERISA employer plans at large financial institutions, law firms, and major corporations — verify your plan type before assuming mandate coverage applies.

For patients without fertility coverage or with limited benefits, RMA of New York offers financial counseling and access to third-party healthcare financing. LGBTQ+ patients should specifically discuss how their insurance benefits (if any) apply to their family-building pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Downtown SoHo location a full-service IVF clinic or a monitoring-only satellite? RMA of New York's Downtown location is designed to provide comprehensive fertility services including consultations, monitoring, IUI, and in some cases IVF procedures. Confirm at your initial consultation whether egg retrieval and embryo transfer can be performed at 594 Broadway or whether these require attendance at another RMA Manhattan location.

Why does RMA of New York have so many Manhattan locations? RMA of New York has grown to include multiple Manhattan locations (Midtown, Downtown/SoHo, and others) to serve the dense and geographically dispersed Manhattan patient population. New York City's size and transit layout means that a 30-block difference in clinic location matters considerably for patients who attend monitoring appointments multiple times per week during an IVF cycle. Multiple locations give patients more flexibility in choosing a convenient site.

Does RMA of New York have a good reputation for treating patients with complex fertility diagnoses? Yes. RMA of New York is known for accepting difficult cases — including recurrent IVF failure, diminished ovarian reserve, recurrent pregnancy loss, and patients who have been unsuccessful at other clinics. The network's research infrastructure and academic affiliations support its capacity to evaluate and treat complex presentations.

How do I verify that the Downtown location participates in my New York insurance plan? Contact your insurance plan's member services line or use the insurer's online provider search to confirm that "Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York" and the 594 Broadway address are in-network. Different RMA locations may have different network status depending on contracting — confirm the specific location before scheduling.
