New England Fertility

What New England Fertility does

New England Fertility Institute (NEFI) is a private, full-service fertility clinic founded in 1991 and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, operating under the CSG.BIO Group alongside sister practice Hanabusa IVF in San Diego. Under Medical Director Dr. Gad Lavy, the practice delivers a comprehensive suite of assisted reproductive technology (ART) services including in vitro fertilization (IVF, including mini-IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), preimplantation genetic testing using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), egg freezing via vitrification, reciprocal IVF, gender selection, reproductive surgery, and male fertility services. Its two flagship programs are a gestational surrogacy program and an in-house egg donor agency, both of which leverage Connecticut's surrogacy-friendly legal environment under the Connecticut Parentage Act (2022).

The practice serves a diverse patient mix including heterosexual couples with infertility, LGBTQ+ families, women delaying pregnancy, PCOS and cancer patients, and an active international patient base from 10+ countries (Norway, Sweden, Ireland, France, Spain, England, China, Australia, Israel) supported by multilingual content and travel concierge services. Revenue is generated primarily on a per-cycle transaction basis, with standard IVF cycles priced at $12,000-$18,000 and full surrogacy programs ranging $90,000-$200,000+, supplemented by ancillary revenue from PGT, medications, annual storage fees, financing administration, and an AlphaCord partnership offering complimentary cord blood banking to graduates. Since 1991, the clinic reports over 10,000 live births, and the practice operates with 11-50 employees under physician-led direct-to-consumer distribution (in-person consultations, virtual consultations, complimentary seminars) with no disclosed external institutional funding.

Core offering

New England Fertility Institute (NEFI) is a full-service fertility clinic that provides assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments including IVF, IUI, mini-IVF, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT/PGS), egg freezing/fertility preservation, gender selection, and reproductive surgery. The clinic is recognized globally for its gestational surrogacy program and in-house egg donor agency, and it also delivers male fertility services, LGBTQ+ family building programs, counseling, and international fertility tourism support.

Product overview

New England Fertility Institute (NEFI) is a full-service fertility clinic operating as a single, unified practice rather than a platform-with-modules architecture. The core clinical offering spans diagnostic testing and a comprehensive suite of assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments, anchored by In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) — offered in both standard and mini-IVF (minimally stimulated) protocols — and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). These core treatments are supplemented by Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT, including PGS and PGD, utilizing Comparative Genomic Hybridization), Reciprocal IVF, Egg Freezing/Fertility Preservation (using vitrification), Gender Selection, Reproductive Surgery, and Male Fertility Services. NEFI's two flagship third-party reproduction programs are its Gestational Surrogacy Program and its In-House Egg Donor Agency, which together with IVF forms the backbone of the clinic's international reputation. The clinic also operates specialized LGBTQ+ Family Building programs (including reciprocal IVF and HIV-positive patient services) and an International Fertility Tourism program serving patients from over a dozen countries. A distinctive patient benefit is complimentary cord blood banking through an AlphaCord partnership (a $850 value, extended to all NEFI graduates). Supporting services include Counseling, Acupuncture referrals, and Fertility Financing options. NEFI is a sister practice to Hanabusa IVF in San Diego within the CSG.BIO Group, sharing clinical protocols and expertise across the network.
