Now welcoming new patients
Request a consultation in Connecticut or New York City, depending on availability

Your first visit

A thoughtful first step, built around your questions.

Your first RCA appointment is a conversation about your history, priorities, timing, and the options that may fit. You do not need to arrive with every answer.

New patient appointments in Connecticut or New York City are offered depending on availability.

Before the appointment

Bring what you have. We will help organize what matters.

Previous fertility testing, treatment summaries, medication lists, cycle information, and relevant medical or surgical records can be helpful. If records are incomplete, your care team can explain what is useful and what may need to be repeated. Please use secure channels for medical records rather than a public website form.

01

Your story and goals

We begin with what has brought you here, what matters most now, and the questions you want answered.

02

History and prior care

Your clinician reviews relevant reproductive, medical, surgical, and family history, including prior treatment when applicable.

03

Evaluation plan

Testing is individualized. Recommendations may include ovarian reserve, uterine or tubal assessment, semen testing, or selected hormone studies.

04

A clear next step

You leave with an understandable plan for records, testing, follow-up, and the decisions that come next.

Practical planning

What to expect

  • Confirmation of appointment format and location
  • Instructions for records and any pre-visit forms
  • Time to discuss family-building goals and concerns
  • A plan for testing, financial review, and follow-up

Costs and coverage

Separate clinical and financial questions.

Your clinical plan is developed first. The financial team can then help review expected services, insurance information, and available next steps without requiring sensitive policy information in a public form.
