"Dyno Gyno" Niels Lauersen put a $3 million downpayment on his freedom Friday.
The former Park Ave. fertility doc, who has violated his probation six times, paid $3,085,000 toward restitution for his 2001 insurance fraud conviction.
Lauersen is expected to pay back another $840,000 by February. If not, Manhattan Federal Judge William Pauley could send him back to prison.
Lauersen was convicted in 2001 of masking fertility treatments he performed by billing for gynecological care.
He was released from prison in April 2006.
