The Columbia University Fertility Center, which has cared for families and advanced the field of reproductive medicine for over 40 years, was ranked #1 on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Fertility Clinics for 2025.
The ranking was determined through a nationwide survey of reproductive medicine professionals, performance criteria and success rates, clinic accreditations and certifications, and patient satisfaction.
"It is a tremendous honor to be recognized as the top fertility center in the country,” says Zev Williams, MD, PhD, director of the Columbia University Fertility Center, which is part of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. “As meaningful as this recognition is, rankings are not our goal—they are a reflection of the work we do every day to deliver the highest-quality care and continually push the boundaries of innovation to help those for whom parenthood was once thought impossible.”
Columbia University Fertility Center has been at the forefront in developing new technologies to help patients achieve their fertility goals, including an at-home, painless blood collection kit to make frequent blood draws during IVF treatment and hormone monitoring easier and STAR System, which combines artificial intelligence, advanced imaging, robotics, and microfluidics to find and recover rare sperm cells in men with azoospermia (absence of sperm).
The list includes 140 fertility clinics from across the US.
“Our center brings together exceptional, personalized medical expertise, a world-class IVF laboratory, and an unwavering commitment to compassionate care—ensuring that every patient feels seen, supported, and empowered in their journey to build a family,” says Williams.
