“I LOVED working with Fertility Centers of Illinois. They are considerate, competent, and efficient. They respond to changes well and are very adaptive to requests. I have donated multiple times and this was my favorite clinic by FAR to work with.”

– Mandy B.

When they say, “Your miracle. Our mission,” it’s true. Today, we are holding our precious miracle! We are forever grateful.

I had done it all – finished college, completed grad school, traveled the world, had a successful career, and bought a house. Just shy of 40 years old, I still hadn’t found Mr. Right. But I didn’t want to give up on my dream of becoming a mother. So I decided to do it on my own.

We have such a special bond since (our son) is Dana’s biological child, but yet I carried him through pregnancy.

– Kira and Dana, proud moms of sons Maverick and Ryker

It’s such a huge thing to even make a call for an appointment to a Fertility Clinic. While the situation is frustrating and heartbreaking, EVERYONE at FCI has been so generous, kind, and truly treats you as though you are their only patient and getting you a baby is their only goal.

– Former Patient

This location is absolutely amazing. This clinic takes the time to get to know their patients. We’ve never felt so comfortable and informed on every single detail throughout the entire process.

Q&A

I love helping patients take control and build families when and how they choose. Building life-long relationships in such an impactful way is incredibly special.

I love being part of a relatively new field and helping shape the innovation and future of family building. It makes coming to work every day exciting, and I love taking on new challenges and problem-solving. The bookworm nerd in me thrives in the basic science of reproductive endocrinology and hormone pathways, while my extrovert side loves all the relationship-building the field lends. 

As a physician, patients invite you into the most vulnerable times of their lives which is the greatest privilege. Navigating through these difficult times with patients and achieving a positive outcome is the most rewarding part of my job. 

I am most proud of the life-long relationships I get to build through my practice, not only with patients, but also colleagues and the whole care team.

I trained with some of the leaders in endometriosis research and I am drawn to this community that suffers from an often overlooked and under-recognized silent disease. Additionally, having experienced miscarriage myself, I feel drawn to the area of recurrent pregnancy loss and being a light for individuals who walk this very challenging road. Lastly, as someone who was education and career-focused for the majority of my life, I truly value the technology of fertility preservation and love to help patients pursue this avenue for whatever reason they may need it.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, baking, doing pilates and yoga, and traveling.

I had a brief stint as a hand model for Starbucks.
