The fertility specialists of New England Fertility Institute offer the expertise and compassionate care needed to relieve the stress of fertility treatment and put patients at ease. Led by Dr. Lavy, the medical and administrative teams provide collective experience patients can trust to guide them through the challenges of modern family building.

“My patients’ desire to become parents is why I work so hard. I am committed to their journey alongside them, holding their hands each step of the way. My team and I are dedicated to overcoming the challenges. We make families” expressed Dr. Lavy.

Ensuring a safer, easier journey for the parents, the doctor is dual board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology & reproductive endocrinology and infertility by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, whose mission is to define standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

In 1980, Dr. Lavy attended and graduated with his medical degree from The Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in Israel. Upon relocating to the United States, he went on to perform his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, where he served on the medical faculty of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Prior to founding New England Fertility in 1991, he was an Assistant Professor in the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology at Yale University School of Medicine for four years, and served as the Director of the Yale program for assisted reproduction.

In addition to being the Medical Director of New England Fertility Institute, Dr. Lavy is a medical staff member in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Stamford Hospital, and a consulting physician in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Greenwich Hospital.

Reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) is a surgical subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology that trains physicians in reproductive medicine addressing hormonal functioning as it pertains to the reproduction, as well as the issue of infertility. While most REI specialists primarily focus on the treatment of infertility, reproductive endocrinologists are trained to also evaluate and treat hormonal dysfunctions in females and males outside after the reproductive years.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics and gynecology. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health. 

A trusted expert with 40+ years of experience in his field, Dr. Lavy is an internationally recognized speaker. He is also an author on the topics of infertility, assisted reproductive technology (ART), and gestational surrogacy and egg donation. 

His diverse accomplishments include Patients’ Choice Award (2008, 2018, 2020), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2020), and On-Time Doctor Award (2020).
