Our fertility doctors and nurses show the meaning of excellence.
Fertility care is an inherently personal and often complicated field, and it requires a special type of person to practice it well. Not only does our practice require exceptional skill as a doctor, but also strong emotional sensibility. Additionally, because surgery is a somewhat common — but often unmentioned — necessity to maximize the chance of a successful pregnancy, excellent surgical skill is also mandatory when we search for doctors for our practice.
Empathy drives us to give you the best possible care.
Our fertility specialists and nurses at Kofinas Fertility Group are defined by a strong dedication to the field. We are all emotionally invested in the outcomes of our practice because we identify with every hopeful mother and father who comes to us for help. Because of that, you can trust that your fertility care plan will be designed and carried out with the same dedication that we would give to our own children.
Our secret that makes us successful is collaboration and support.
Nobody is here because they have to be. We all come to work every day excited to make a difference in somebody's life by giving the gift of parenthood. Each day is a new challenge, and that's one of the qualities we love about our field. Listening to your story and figuring out the best possible course of action according to your needs is something we feel uniquely suited for. In fact, it's one of our defining characteristics as an organization.

Meet Dr. George Kofinas, Kofinas Fertility Group's inspirational founder and medical director.
As the compassionate leader of Kofinas Fertility Group and a distinguished authority on fertility medicine, Dr. Kofinas has used his depth of knowledge and sharp intuition to help thousands of couples start families of their own. Dr. Kofinas has written and spoken about the full spectrum of assisted reproductive technologies, such as reproductive surgery and in vitro fertilization (IVF), and he has personally trained every doctor on his staff.
"Patience and compassion are the two main virtues that define an excellent fertility doctor. You need to be patient with every single situation or complex problem that arises. You need to take the proper treatment steps in the correct order in order to maximize your chance of success. And through every fertility situation, with every person who comes to our practice, understanding the individual emotional and logistical challenges is the only way to offer the best possible care… which is what we give our patients at Kofinas Fertility Group.
"Every single doctor you meet at our practice embodies these virtues. I am incredibly proud of each of them for not only their commitment to the advancement and administration of fertility medicine, but for their deep appreciation of each personal situation. They all truly understand the concerns of their patients, and they put their heart and soul into each and every fertility case.
For more information on Dr. Kofinas, or to schedule an appointment, call 718-736-2218. You can also schedule an appointment using our easy online form. Dr. Kofinas is available for consultation at our Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island locations.
Meet Kofinas Fertility Group's detail-oriented lab director, Dr. Maria Bertero.
Maria Bertero, MD, HCLD inspires us all at Kofinas Fertility Group in New York with her dedication to the field of fertility. Dr. Bertero has numerous published works on embryology and andrology, and she has completed extensive training all around the world in egg and embryo freezing, embryo biopsy, and more.
"I have a passion for this business. I don't wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time of day it is, I just keep going until I finish the work I need to finish. The teamwork here is incredible. Everyone collaborates with everyone, everyone supports everyone, and everyone laughs with everyone. We all love our jobs, and that shared energy and dedication strongly contributes to our success as a clinic.
"A strong attention to detail is a mandatory quality for anyone working in an embryology lab. You have to notice the differences between embryos, how they look, how they behave and — for those who choose to have embryonic genetic testing — which embryos have the strongest genetics for implantation. Taking all these factors into consideration is the only way to produce strong results, and managing these fine details keeps me constantly alert and enthusiastic about my work.
Meet Dr. Jason Kofinas, the fertility specialist New Yorkers love.
"The opportunity to give the gift of a child is the primary reason — among many — that I chose to become a fertility doctor. The field of fertility medicine is complex and filled with emotion. It's my job to give you the very best care that I can while ensuring that you understand the reasoning behind every step of your care. I put a great deal of effort into making you feel considered and valued as an individual throughout the entire process.
"It's an exciting time to be a fertility doctor. New technology has allowed us to give babies to people with astonishing rates of success, and I find the clinical care itself to be very fulfilling. This field is also challenging, and I must push myself to constantly learn and improve in order to give my best to every person I treat. But the challenge of fertility medicine is why I love my work, and being able to give someone a child after years of trying is an indescribable feeling.

Meet Dr. Peter Brzechffa, Kofinas Fertility Group's approachable associate director.
Peter Brzechffa (BRESH – fuh), MD, FACOG is an active family man and the associate director of Kofinas Fertility Group in New York. Interpersonal connection is a big deal for Dr. Brzechffa, and even after over 20 years in fertility care, he still cherishes every minute that he spends with the people he treats.
"Interacting with my patients and giving them success after years of failure is a constant source of joy and gratification for me. The nature of fertility care is that nothing is certain, and we're all on this crazy, emotional journey together. While the path to a healthy child may take some unexpected turns, perseverance driven by a strong motivation to succeed can lead to some truly wonderful outcomes. And seeing the smile on each person's face when our effort pays off is a special moment that I thoroughly enjoy.
"One of my original attractions to fertility care was the unique combination of both medical and surgical practice. There's often a great deal of face-to-face clinical work to be done along with the complex surgical challenges to overcome. Being able to meet your needs, no matter what they are, and stay with you through your entire treatment experience is immensely satisfying to me. Additionally, fertility medicine is a very new and exciting specialty, and the possibility of making big contributions to the field was as appealing to me when I started as it is today.

Meet one of Kofinas Fertility Group's compassionate doctors, Dr. Levica Narine.
Levica Narine, MD, FACOG places high value on face-to-face time with those she treats at Kofinas Fertility Group in New York. As an experienced OBGYN, Dr. Narine has solved a wide range of fertility and reproductive problems with many different types of people. Each challenge motivates her to do better, and every experience she has inspires greater passion for her work.
"There really is no greater satisfaction than helping someone start a family who thought it was impossible. And that satisfaction is the greatest motivator you could ask for. Fertility care is all about building relationships, and while I did a lot of research in college, I chose to become a doctor because I enjoy interacting with my patients.
"In particular, I am able to relate to and communicate with women very well. I come from a family of strong women, and I understand that listening and discussing the feelings that you're experiencing — whether you're angry or sad or hopeless — is the key to overcoming your struggle and understanding that everything will be okay. Our team here at Kofinas Fertility Group will do absolutely everything we can to help, and building your trust is the first and most important step toward your success.

Meet Dr. Alexis Masbou, one of Kofinas Fertility Group's caring doctors.
Dr. Alexis Masbou, whose first name actually means "helper of mankind", comes to Kofinas Fertility Group with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility field. When Dr. Masbou is 'off the clock', she enjoys traveling and the chance to immerse myself in other cultures, as well as watching and playing sports.
"I have always been an advocate for women's health and women's issues, only bolstered by my high school education at a local all-girls high school with a focus on service and social justice. When I was considering medical school, I knew I wanted to practice obstetrics and gynecology, but I wasn't sure where I should focus my energy and where I could most be of service. I decided to volunteer at Planned Parenthood and at the same time I began conducting research at an IVF lab at Johns Hopkins Hospital. It was during this summer where I encountered my first doctor-patient visit, and as fate would have it, I joined a reproductive endocrinologist counseling a couple on their fertility options. I was inspired by this physician's ability to help a couple plan to become a family, aided by the microscopic miracles being performed in the embryology lab. I was touched by the special bond such physicians shared with their patients. And, in terms of the science, I was hooked.
I am a friendly, approachable person who genuinely cares for my patients as if they were my family. It is important that my patients know they can feel comfortable discussing any questions or concerns with me and that our interaction should be one of mutual respect. I will always present information in the most compassionate and straight-forward manner. It is possible to maintain hope and a sense of humor throughout this process, and I will do my best to make that happen while coming up with a clear treatment plan that meets you where you are at as a patient.
For more information about Dr. Masbou, or to schedule an appointment, call 718-736-2218. You can also schedule an appointment using our easy online form. Dr. Masbou is available for consultation at our Upper West Side and Lower Manhattan locations.
Meet Dr. Chantae Sullivan-Pyke, one of Kofinas Fertility Group's caring doctors.
Dr. Sullivan-Pyke has been in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology for seven years, during which time she completed a four-year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the New York Presbyterian Hospital at the Columbia University Medical Center followed by a three-year fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology at the University of Pennsylvania.
"I chose to become a fertility doctor because I enjoy helping patients bring home a baby. There are many unique challenges that patients face when planning a family and I want to help patients navigate the process and achieve their reproductive goals.
I have a patient-centered style. Every patient and their set of circumstances is unique and everyone deserves individualized care. I make every effort to listen keenly to my patients, to answer all questions, and to take the time to explain the reasons for the recommended treatment plan.

Will I be an employee or an independent contractor?
What will be withheld, if anything, from my pay (e.g., taxes, social security, living or travel expenses)?
What is the work? What is expected of me?
What are the working conditions? Ask about hours, travel, and living arrangements.
Do I get any time off? How much and when?
Will I have to travel away from home? Where will I be going? How can family and friends reach me?
Where will I sleep each night? Who will arrange sleeping accommodations – me or the company? Who will pay for these accommodations?
How will I generate income, how it will be calculated, and how often will I receive my pay? In what manner will I be paid (i.e., by cash, corporate check)? Will I receive a statement with my pay that shows income earned and deductions? How will commissions, bonuses, and regular pay be calculated?
Is there a training period? If so, how long does it last? Will I be paid while I'm in training?
Will I be paid for sales meetings and how often are they held and for how many hours?
Will an experienced sales agent or trainer come with me for my first few sales calls?
Can I be fined for not showing up at sales meetings or making friends with other salespeople?
Will I be working in an area that requires door-to-door salespeople to obtain licenses or post bonds? If so, do I have to file the application and pay the fee or will the company do this for me?
Who does the driving? Must drivers meet any requirements?
What is the time period of the contract?
If things don't work out and I decide to quit before the contract period ends, is there any penalty for me, and who will pay for my transportation back home?
Why are the answers to these questions so important? The answers can help you spot bad practices, which often go hand-in-hand with traveling sales crew scams. Most traveling sales crews report to a crew chief, who decides where and when they will work and maintains accounts for the entire crew.
Former salespersons on traveling sales crews have reported that they never received or saw a statement of their individual accounts and therefore never knew how much money, if any, they were making. They were given a daily or weekly "allowance" by the crew chief, who based the payments on their accounts. This allowance had to cover food, clothing, and personal expenses, but they had no way of knowing if the accounts were accurate or how much they could expect to receive at the end of each day or each week.
Don't allow yourself to be rushed or pressured into signing up. Remember, they need you more than you need them. Watch out for claims that they only have room for one more person and you have to say "yes" immediately or lose out. If you are unsure of the offer, take the time to discuss the pros and cons with relatives and friends and call your local Better Business Bureau, state attorney general's office, state department of labor, or the Direct Selling Association to see if they have received any complaints about the company.

The doctoral student position takes place within VR-funded research environment 2020-04973 which proposes to combine law and conservation to help develop solutions to the biodiversity crisis. Most of the world's nations have enacted environmental legal instruments to avert species extinctions. However, these legal instruments do not appear to be able to stop that crisis. Countries are consistently failing to meet agreed targets to reduce the loss of biodiversity. This failure raises the question of whether existing legal instruments, theories and methods are fit for the purpose of protecting species, populations and ecosystems and whether and how their effectiveness can be improved.

(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka) - What happened to dozens of LTTE members who surrendered to the army together with Rev. Francis Joseph, a Catholic priest, south of the Vadduvaakal bridge on May 18 2009?
"Aananthi" (not her real name), the wife of one of the disappeared, told Human Rights Watch that she saw the army load the priest and the LTTE members on to a bus and drive them away.
Human Rights Watch interviews with other witnesses and numerous media reports confirm her account. The wife and two children, aged 3 and 5 years, of an LTTE member were also taken away on the bus. The family members and Fr. Joseph remain missing. Where and what happened to these people? Why are these disappearances not investigated by the government which instead continues to stonewall all calls demanding accountability.
Through interviews with relatives of the missing and witnesses, published testimony and media reports, international human rights organizations have found that more than 20 people who were taken into army custody between May 16 and 18, 2009, appear to have been forcibly disappeared. Most of them are known to have been detained in the Vadduvaakal area, just south of the strip of land in north-eastern Sri Lanka where the final battle between the LTTE and government forces occurred.
At the time, the area was controlled by the Sri Lankan army's 59th Division. Abductions in Sri Lanka continue unabated. Last week two more people went missing. Ramasamy Prahaharan, a Tamil businessman was abducted from outside his home as he attempted to open his gate at Canal Road, Wellawatte while another Tamil, Subramanium, was abducted from Aluthkade.
At the time of the abduction, Ramasamy Prahaharan had filed a fundamental rights application with the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka against senior police officers, the Attorney-General, and eight others, alleging torture and unlawful arrest and detention. The Supreme Court had granted him leave to proceed and the hearing had been scheduled for February 13. Ramasamy Prahaharan was abducted two days before the Fundamental Rights petition was to be heard in the Courts.
Apart from the ritual blank denial, the government has thus far ignored the fate of these missing persons. Family members of those abducted have a right to know if their loved ones are missing or dead.
Under International Law, an enforced disappearance occurs when the authorities take an individual into custody but refuse to acknowledge doing so or do not provide information about the person's whereabouts or fate. Among the rights an enforced disappearance may violate are those to life, liberty, and security of the person, including protection from torture and other ill treatment.
Aananthi meanwhile has told Human Rights Watch that she has had no news about her husband since the abduction.
I have searched in all the camps. I went to the Defence Ministry. I filed a complaint with the police in January 2010. But I have received no information about my husband. The police only told me it would be difficult for them to find him since the area where he went missing is under military control. I want the government to tell me what happened to him. Whether he is dead or alive, I want an answer.
In another disappearance case, a witness told Human Rights Watch that two former LTTE members helped government soldiers identify Colonel Ramesh, an LTTE leader, among the fleeing population and took him and three others away to a small hut nearby. Ramesh's family has not received any news about him since he was detained. In December 2010 several media outlets broadcast a video clip obtained by the Global Tamil Forum that allegedly showed Ramesh in custody.
On May 17, army soldiers detained Paramnantham Kokulakrishnan and two other men just north of the Vadduvaakal bridge. Kokulakrishnan's wife told international human rights activists that the soldiers did not allow her to accompany her husband even though he was blind from an injury that he had received in 1996. The soldiers told her they would interrogate the men and then release them, but she has not had any news of her husband since. Kokulakrishnan's family filed a complaint with the police in October 2010. The police replied by letter that they would investigate the disappearance, but the family has received no information.
Another witness account relates that five people are still missing after they were separated from the rest on May 17 just south of the Vadduvaakal bridge. Among the missing is Sudarsani Krishnakumar. Her family has filed complaints with the national Human Rights Commission and the police, but has received no information about her whereabouts.
In several cases, family members also testified before or filed written complaints with the government's Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), which was created by President Rajapaksa in May 2010. While the LLRC has published testimony of government officials and others on its website, it has not published many of the testimonies alleging enforced disappearances by government forces.
Where are these people? Surely, government law enforcement and other authorities cannot be this impotent to not be in a position to investigate them to a conclusion.
