Sarah D. Cascante, MD

Helping patients achieve their dreams of building families inspires me. I strive to provide patients with knowledge and compassion so they can make informed and confident choices about their fertility treatment and reproductive health on their journey to become parents. I cannot imagine a more rewarding career.

As a reproductive endocrinologist and member of the NYU Langone Fertility Center team, I specialize in both infertility diagnosis and treatment and fertility preservation. Egg freezing and embryo banking technology empower patients with reproductive autonomy by allowing them to become parents when they are ready.

As pioneers and world leaders in fertility care and reproductive medicine, the NYU Langone Fertility Center specializes in in vitro fertilization, egg freezing, embryo freezing, preimplantation genetic testing, the use of donor eggs and sperm, and reproductive surgery. The expertise of our outstanding embryology team consistently produces some of the world’s highest live birth rates from in vitro fertilization and egg freezing. We have helped tens of thousands of patients have babies, using the most cutting-edge fertility treatments.

I also strive to improve patient care and reproductive medicine by performing evidence-based research. I have published more than 50 scientific research manuscripts and abstracts, which I have presented at national and international conferences. These works include the largest U.S. report of outcomes from egg freezing performed for age-related fertility decline: it showed that egg freezing is a successful fertility-preservation method. My research interests also include preimplantation genetic testing, in vitro fertilization, infertility, and quality improvement.

I am honored to be a recipient of the Gold Humanism Honor Society Award, the Joseph E. Constantine Award for outstanding scholarly work in obstetrics and gynecology, and the Society of Reproductive Biologists & Technologists Clinical Science Award for my patient care and clinical expertise.

I am dedicated to providing information and care in a compassionate and personal manner; I know how stressful, challenging, and frightening fertility treatment can be. My clinical training and extensive research provide me with a strong foundation to guide patients through these innovative processes.
